The night is young. 9 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,320 I should clarify, I wasn't calling you a blockhead just for the fun of 10 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,800 it. Because your video is blocky. It's not. Like it's. 11 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,000 I couldn't even act like I was offended. Yeah, I know. 12 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,160 Uh, follow us on the socials for more romantic ness at Craft Beer 13 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,680 Republic and at Flix Me beer. Underscores in between. 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,730 Got a lot to get to today. So much fun. 15 00:01:03,050 --> 00:01:07,690 Uh, Super Bowl happened, and there's some fallout news from that. 16 00:01:07,930 --> 00:01:12,090 Uh, ran into an old drinking buddy that I got a story about and some 17 00:01:12,090 --> 00:01:17,970 booze, news and so much more. But, uh, if you don't mind. Hey. 18 00:01:18,130 --> 00:01:20,770 Landed. It's been a crazy day of travel, 19 00:01:20,770 --> 00:01:23,690 and I just need a fucking beer in my liver. 20 00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:27,970 Yeah, you look like you need to relax. Yeah. Use 1 or 3 of these. 21 00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:41,090 I did. I have my beer. I love my baby. I love my beer. 22 00:01:42,810 --> 00:01:49,330 I am drinking Smog City Brewing's frost Quake. It's a hazy IPA. 23 00:01:49,370 --> 00:01:56,050 6.2% has a 3.8 on untapped. They say this mock seismic event 24 00:01:56,050 --> 00:02:00,150 of Hoppiness divides the Earth between intense Citrus and juicy 25 00:02:00,150 --> 00:02:03,830 tropical fruit. A mixed fruit salad aroma leads you 26 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:08,510 into a smooth, silky mouthfeel. A kiss of citrus and just enough 27 00:02:08,510 --> 00:02:11,270 bitterness to cleanse the palate for your next sip. 28 00:02:11,310 --> 00:02:16,030 Enjoy the palate splitting hoppy goodness, goodness, goodness. 29 00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:19,110 A frost cake. The goodness. The goodness. 30 00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:23,830 The Smog Days Haze Craze IPA series is an innovative lineup, a unique, 31 00:02:23,870 --> 00:02:26,230 thirst quenching, hazy IPAs. I don't think I need to read all 32 00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:30,030 that stuff anyways. This comes from my local bottle shop, 33 00:02:30,270 --> 00:02:34,790 Trader Joe's. Haha yeah the wife I said this 34 00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:36,750 before. The wife is always thoughtful. 35 00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:40,470 Sometimes she'll just hit up the store and come home with a rando 36 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:43,830 single from TJ's because she's like, I thought you might want to try it. 37 00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:48,190 So here we are trying it. Yeah, digging the old schnoz. 38 00:02:49,070 --> 00:02:51,830 Yeah. What do we got? So it mostly follows that 39 00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:53,910 description. I'd say it's pretty light, 40 00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:57,430 but I do get a little bit of a fruit salad situation. 41 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,400 Um, get some citrus in there. But. But very light aroma. 42 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,240 Let me stick the tongue in there. Call this a French sip. 43 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,240 A French sip, I like that. All right, 44 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,520 so a lot of this is interesting, as you can see, uh, properly hazy, 45 00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:19,760 very mellow. All that great lacing. Great, great lacing. 46 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,920 It has a surprising bitterness to it. I wish I had the IBUs. 47 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,360 Not a turnoff, just surprising for a hazy the amount 48 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,320 of bitterness that is in this. It also has a little bit of a an old 49 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,600 school maltiness to it like not like crazy loaf of bread, malty, but it's 50 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,000 definitely got some malt in there. Not what I was expecting with this, 51 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,400 this color. See, that's what gets me is when 52 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,760 you get a hazy and you get, uh, just any bit of malt character, 53 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,480 I think it's a big turn off. It's a little bit of a turnoff to me. 54 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,840 Overall. I would definitely drink this 55 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,620 beer again. It's not a bad beer. Um, but I could. 56 00:03:58,620 --> 00:04:02,100 I could do without the a little bit of bread going into this thing. 57 00:04:02,380 --> 00:04:05,460 Not looking to carb load. Yeah. That's, uh, that always kills me with 58 00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:08,380 the hazes. Yeah, it really does. But. Good, good. 59 00:04:08,420 --> 00:04:11,660 Hot bill on the hair. Uh, nice. Should have called it a juicy. 60 00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:13,580 That's what they should have done. There you go. 61 00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:17,860 I mean, it's properly in a visual sense. It's properly hazy. They just. 62 00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:21,140 It's like they combined an old school Westie with a new school 63 00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:25,700 hazy or something, so not bad. Uh, but not what I was expecting out 64 00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:29,500 of a haze. I guess that's all right. Yeah. There you. Go. 65 00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:32,380 Like you said, you drink it again. It doesn't make or break the beer. 66 00:04:32,660 --> 00:04:35,300 Yeah, it's not a drain pour by any stretch of the imagination. 67 00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:39,900 Just not what I was hoping for, I guess, when I cracked her open. 68 00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:44,060 Yeah. You win some, you lose some. That's right. Sometimes you tie. 69 00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:48,300 Either way, I'm getting drunk. Let's do. It. That's what matters. 70 00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:51,860 Uh, shout out to our top listing city of last week. And that's Los Angeles. 71 00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:56,620 What's up? Oh, hometown, I guess. Local for you. That's right. 72 00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:59,910 So, uh, we haven't recorded since the Super Bowl. 73 00:04:59,950 --> 00:05:03,270 How was your your Super Bowl Sunday? Did you do anything fun or. 74 00:05:03,310 --> 00:05:09,270 Um, my one of my kids was sick, so we really didn't do anything too much. 75 00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:15,630 So, um, just ordered a pizza, had some. Would you? 76 00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:18,590 Breadsticks with that? We did, like, some pretzel nuggets. 77 00:05:18,630 --> 00:05:21,950 Ooh. Pretzel nuggets. Um, just. Yeah. Chilled out. 78 00:05:21,950 --> 00:05:27,790 I got a 12 pack, and, uh, I really wasn't interested in the Super Bowl 79 00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:33,350 because it was the two teams I could have cared less to see. Yeah. 80 00:05:33,790 --> 00:05:35,630 If they both could have lost at the same time. 81 00:05:36,270 --> 00:05:39,310 You know, the only reason I kept watching it all night. 82 00:05:39,310 --> 00:05:42,310 Because even the commercials sucked. Yeah, the overall commercials were 83 00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:46,070 pretty bad. They were pretty bad. The seal commercial was hilarious. 84 00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:47,910 That was my. Favorite. That was the favorite. 85 00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:49,150 What was I gonna say? Oh, 86 00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:53,910 I'm not not a big Kendrick Lamar fan. I only know of the one song because 87 00:05:54,030 --> 00:05:58,610 of all the publicity it got from like the dissing Drake and yeah, 88 00:05:58,650 --> 00:06:02,330 like that whole thing. So I, I really had no need to 89 00:06:02,370 --> 00:06:05,570 watch the Super Bowl this year. And the only reason I kept it on 90 00:06:05,570 --> 00:06:08,930 was because the Eagles were just demolishing. Right. 91 00:06:08,930 --> 00:06:13,290 It was kind of fun to watch. So that was very enjoyable. 92 00:06:13,530 --> 00:06:15,850 That part was enjoyable. But I'll tell you after a while 93 00:06:15,850 --> 00:06:18,090 I got tired of it. I didn't watch most of the 94 00:06:18,090 --> 00:06:20,570 fourth quarter, so. I almost I thought the same thing, 95 00:06:20,570 --> 00:06:24,290 and I almost didn't watch the fourth quarter, but I really 96 00:06:24,290 --> 00:06:27,450 didn't have anything better to do, so I just kind of kept it around. 97 00:06:27,490 --> 00:06:32,610 I did some laundry, um, while it was going on. Sure. 98 00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:35,970 Why not? As one does. We ended up playing, uh, 99 00:06:35,970 --> 00:06:41,770 Mario Kart. Man, that sounds legit. Yeah. For the Wii or the switch. 100 00:06:41,810 --> 00:06:44,490 What do you got? Uh. The switch. Okay. 101 00:06:45,050 --> 00:06:49,010 Yeah, I just got it, like, a month or two ago. Oh, I dig it. 102 00:06:49,050 --> 00:06:53,290 I really like playing, uh, the switch sports. Mhm. 103 00:06:53,970 --> 00:06:58,180 I only have I only have Mario Kart. Mario kart? Okay. Yeah, I. Came. 104 00:06:58,180 --> 00:07:01,100 With it. Playing the golf. And they just added basketball 105 00:07:01,140 --> 00:07:04,260 to switch sports. And that's. That was fun to get used to. 106 00:07:04,540 --> 00:07:07,100 Okay, I'll have to try it. Something cool about the Super Bowl. 107 00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:10,380 Sorry, I don't want to. A little tangent from this Nintendo 108 00:07:10,380 --> 00:07:16,300 Switch conversation. No, please. Zack Baun, who is a middle linebacker 109 00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:21,140 for the Philadelphia Eagles. Okay. Um, I coached against him when I 110 00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:23,660 was coaching high school football. No shit. Yeah. 111 00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:27,220 So that was also something really cool to see that he made 112 00:07:27,220 --> 00:07:30,700 All-Pro this year. And now he's a Super Bowl champ. 113 00:07:31,180 --> 00:07:33,900 And in high school we totally shut him down. 114 00:07:35,540 --> 00:07:39,740 Just an absolute stud of an athlete. Stud of a player. 115 00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:42,980 So yeah, just something really cool to see come full circle. 116 00:07:43,260 --> 00:07:45,860 Very exciting. Yeah I'm excited that the Chiefs 117 00:07:45,860 --> 00:07:48,660 didn't win again. Well I'm super excited about that. 118 00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:50,860 Yeah. Um, yeah. We didn't do anything either. 119 00:07:50,860 --> 00:07:53,500 Like, uh, you know, a lot of times we're over at, like, Nick and 120 00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:57,200 Nicole's house for the Super Bowl, but nobody cared about these teams. 121 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,440 They were out of town, and I was like, you know what? 122 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,000 I've had a busy fucking week. Let's just hang at home, 123 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,680 drink some drinks, make some snacks, and we'll watch it. 124 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,040 And if we don't want to watch it anymore, we'll we'll turn it off. 125 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,720 Like, we don't give two shits about either of those teams. 126 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,040 If both teams could have lost at the same time, that'd been fantastic. 127 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,840 It would have been cool. Yeah. Would have been the perfect 128 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,440 ending for that Super Bowl. My favorite post about the Super 129 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,720 Bowl was when everyone was saying what they really wanted to happen, 130 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,320 and it was the scene from The Dark Knight Rises when Bane hits the 131 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,360 trigger and the whole football field starts falling behind Hines Ward 132 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,080 as he's running to the end zone. I would have been fine with that. 133 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,680 That would have been a good outcome. I'd been okay with that. Um, yeah. 134 00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:39,320 I'm not a huge Kendrick Lamar fan. Um, 135 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,240 I did love all the the Drake dissing. That was kind of funny, having what's 136 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,040 her name out there dancing and. Oh yeah, see, and I didn't know who 137 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,440 that was right away. Oh, Serena. Yeah, I figured it out after the 138 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,170 fact, but, yeah, Had no idea who it was while it was happening. 139 00:08:56,610 --> 00:08:58,930 Uh, my kids were even like, oh, who's that? 140 00:08:58,970 --> 00:09:01,650 I said, I don't know who any of these people are supposed to be. 141 00:09:02,370 --> 00:09:05,530 Yeah, at first I didn't get the whole Sam Jackson thing. 142 00:09:05,570 --> 00:09:10,010 I know I'm I'm white and uncultured. It took me a minute to realize, 143 00:09:10,010 --> 00:09:12,410 like, he was Uncle Sam, and. Yeah, a lot of. 144 00:09:12,450 --> 00:09:15,370 I had to google some of the symbolism. Yeah. 145 00:09:16,170 --> 00:09:18,290 But but overall, you know, it was fine. 146 00:09:18,330 --> 00:09:21,810 I'm not a huge Kendrick Lamar fan. I liked some of what he did 147 00:09:21,850 --> 00:09:24,290 during the performance. But, um, you know, I'm not 148 00:09:24,290 --> 00:09:27,370 downloading his music or anything like that. Yeah, it was fine. 149 00:09:27,530 --> 00:09:30,930 Funny, funny thing about the halftime show is when Sam Jackson came up on 150 00:09:30,930 --> 00:09:37,130 the screen, uh, my ten year old, she goes, I don't want to sound mean. 151 00:09:38,130 --> 00:09:43,250 She goes, but that kind of looks like a black papa, because that's 152 00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:48,490 what they call my dad is Papa. Oh. And we started looking at him 153 00:09:48,490 --> 00:09:50,530 more while I was. The halftime show was going on. 154 00:09:50,530 --> 00:09:54,390 Every time he'd pop up, we were like, Holy shit, my dad is a 155 00:09:54,390 --> 00:09:58,990 white Sam Jackson. That's funny. I sent him the text, 156 00:09:59,030 --> 00:10:01,710 and then my mom sent me back some pictures of Sam Jackson, 157 00:10:01,710 --> 00:10:03,950 and we're just looking at it. We're like, Holy shit. 158 00:10:04,350 --> 00:10:07,310 My dad is a white Sam Jackson. That's so good. 159 00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:11,990 It is Midwest, Sam Jackson. Yes. Get all these motherfucking cheese 160 00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:18,550 curds off this motherfucking plane. Doesn't get more Midwest than that. 161 00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:22,590 Oh. That's perfect. Oh. Good times. Um, but, yeah, that's about it. 162 00:10:22,750 --> 00:10:26,710 Yay! Super bowl, it happened. Baseball's starting up soon. 163 00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:29,910 I can't. Wait. Yeah. Dodgers spent some money this 164 00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:32,750 offseason. You know, the it's funny you say 165 00:10:32,750 --> 00:10:36,750 that because I just saw a statistic that said, uh, the Brewers were 166 00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:42,990 the second least big spenders. Spent the least amount that. 167 00:10:42,990 --> 00:10:49,150 Thank you very much for making my words sound legible. Not $900,000. 168 00:10:49,150 --> 00:10:55,160 They spent this season. Yeah. Look out. Who was the least? 169 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,880 Was it like the A's or something? It's always the. 170 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,320 Saint Louis Cardinals. Oh, that's surprising. 171 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,400 Which is a big shocker, except after this past season where 172 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,120 they were dog shit and they were giving tickets away for free. 173 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,000 Just. Were they really? Oh, you didn't hear about that? 174 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,040 I did not. Oh, they were offering tickets for 175 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:19,160 free because of, uh, they couldn't get people into the stadium. Wow. 176 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,000 Because the team was uncharacteristically bad. 177 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,800 Yeah, they're always at least middle of the road, if not better. 178 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,640 Oh, they're never a bad team. They're that team that always 179 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,440 just finds a way to be good. Yeah, and they always, 180 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,400 no matter what kind of year they're having, they always find 181 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,280 a way to beat the Dodgers. Yeah. I mean, they're just historically 182 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,680 a super solid organization. Yeah. They were they were giving away 183 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,250 tickets for free. That reminds me of, uh, the 70 76 184 00:11:51,250 --> 00:11:54,250 ers did that. Almost did that. They were giving away or selling 185 00:11:54,290 --> 00:11:57,770 tickets for like $4 a ticket like ten years ago. 186 00:11:58,170 --> 00:12:00,090 They could not get people in the stadium. 187 00:12:00,130 --> 00:12:03,050 It was more expensive to buy a beer than a seat at the game. 188 00:12:03,050 --> 00:12:06,010 That was happening at some New York Giants games this year. 189 00:12:06,330 --> 00:12:10,010 That's not surprising. I believe it was when the Saints 190 00:12:10,250 --> 00:12:15,130 visited MetLife. Okay. And there were certain tickets you 191 00:12:15,130 --> 00:12:21,930 could actually buy for a dollar. Like the caption of the post was 192 00:12:22,530 --> 00:12:26,690 that a Bud Light costs more than a ticket for the Giants game, 193 00:12:26,690 --> 00:12:30,330 because the ticket was $1 and the beer was 13. Right. 194 00:12:30,930 --> 00:12:33,890 Well, when the 76 ers were doing that, some guy posted that he 195 00:12:33,890 --> 00:12:37,090 bought out an entire row. It only cost him like $47. 196 00:12:37,130 --> 00:12:39,210 That's amazing. I was like, I would do that. 197 00:12:39,210 --> 00:12:42,490 I'd just go buy a row to myself and hang out or bring friends or 198 00:12:42,490 --> 00:12:45,770 whatever. Yeah. Or if you don't find anybody else 199 00:12:45,770 --> 00:12:48,170 and you don't have anybody else to sit next to you and bother you. 200 00:12:48,450 --> 00:12:50,590 Right, exactly. Keep it quiet. Shut up! 201 00:12:50,590 --> 00:12:54,710 I'm watching the shitty game. Brilliant. Yeah. So, uh. 202 00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:57,950 But not a sports show. Olaf. Definitely not. No sports. 203 00:12:58,470 --> 00:13:02,190 It's a topic show, though. It's a topic show, so I gotta. 204 00:13:02,950 --> 00:13:06,950 You remember Wiley? Of. Yeah. That he ran that thing. 205 00:13:06,990 --> 00:13:10,430 Yeah, yeah. Or drink life. Whatever they're calling. Drink life. 206 00:13:10,630 --> 00:13:15,070 Yeah. Drunk life. That's my life. Um, do you remember our 207 00:13:15,070 --> 00:13:19,070 discussion about the Made West Pale Ale and his hatred of it? 208 00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:21,430 Yeah, he doesn't like it. And you think it's the best? 209 00:13:21,630 --> 00:13:23,750 Well, I don't think it's the best, but. Not the best. 210 00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:26,910 But they make a great pale ale. Make a solid pale ale. 211 00:13:26,910 --> 00:13:30,030 And I think what I always said was, in Ventura County, where I am, 212 00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:34,750 it is the best flagship pale ale, you know, regularly produced, 213 00:13:34,750 --> 00:13:37,950 pale in the area. A lot of people make good pale ales, 214 00:13:37,950 --> 00:13:41,110 but they're not flagship. They're not there all the time. 215 00:13:41,150 --> 00:13:42,750 Right. And so I you know, 216 00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:45,590 I dubbed that years ago. And he always told me I was 217 00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:50,600 insane and it was garbage. And, uh, Basically, I discredit all 218 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,560 of his peer reviews because of that. But plus he doesn't finish his beers. 219 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,800 That is the biggest offense. But we ran into him the other 220 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,720 night and I can't wait to tell everybody this. 221 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,720 He goes, hey, guess what I'm drinking. 222 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,760 I said, what are you drinking? He goes, Made West pale. 223 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,160 I was like, by choice. He goes, yeah, you know what? 224 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,120 They're actually not that bad. Jeez. I was like, you motherfucker. 225 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,960 For years, this is the worst pale. I'd rather drink piss and, like, 226 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,640 all this other stuff, run into him at a beer place, 227 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,160 and he's sitting there drinking a made West Pale. What do you think? 228 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,720 There's no way he actually had it without. Oh back then. Yeah. 229 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,760 Like to be able to judge it. There's no way. 230 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,600 Something I don't know. Anyway, so I was like, 231 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,120 I gotta tell anybody who will listen to me because, uh, you motherfucker 232 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,040 have been missing out on a great pale ale because you're too 233 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,320 stubborn to try it, apparently. If you've sent that one to me before. 234 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,840 I probably did, just so you could try it and tell him how wrong he is. 235 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,620 I'm, like, 98% sure that you did. It's in a blue can. 236 00:14:52,820 --> 00:14:55,060 Yeah, it was good. Yeah, I like look, it's not the 237 00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:57,260 best pale ale in the world, but it's super solid and they 238 00:14:57,260 --> 00:15:01,460 make it all the time. I like it. I love me a super solid beer. 239 00:15:01,660 --> 00:15:04,260 Yeah, like when you can just always fall back on. 240 00:15:04,540 --> 00:15:07,980 It's like, I really don't feel like branching out today. 241 00:15:08,020 --> 00:15:13,260 I'm just gonna get this. Yeah. Like one that is a local hazy that I 242 00:15:13,260 --> 00:15:16,060 always see on tap as Tarantula Hill. Tarantula hills down the street 243 00:15:16,060 --> 00:15:17,700 from me. They've done a great job of 244 00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:19,780 getting their beers into restaurants and stuff. 245 00:15:20,140 --> 00:15:25,260 And if we're at any restaurant and they've got liquid candy on tap, 246 00:15:25,460 --> 00:15:28,900 I know I'm good to go. That one you definitely sent me. 247 00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:32,060 I know for sure. No, Eric. Erica sent me that one. Erica. 248 00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:33,980 Yeah, I think she picked it up when she was down. 249 00:15:34,020 --> 00:15:37,220 Yeah, just a super solid, hazy. Nothing to write home about, 250 00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:39,820 but. But always good. Solid. Yeah, absolutely. 251 00:15:39,860 --> 00:15:41,700 And, you know, you can count on it when you're at a restaurant. 252 00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:45,780 Their beer selection is not amazing. And, yeah, it's good stuff, man. 253 00:15:45,780 --> 00:15:48,270 It's nice to have that kind of a restaurant beer. 254 00:15:48,670 --> 00:15:51,670 Yeah, and I'm glad that's become such a restaurant, 255 00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:55,310 because before it was like, you know, insert West Coast, 256 00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:57,590 like Firestone Union Jack. It's like, all right, I'm not looking 257 00:15:57,590 --> 00:16:01,470 to strip the enamel off my teeth. Stone IPA. You're right. Yeah. 258 00:16:01,950 --> 00:16:03,470 I mean, that's what it was for years and years. 259 00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:07,230 So anyways, um, go drink a midwest pale fuckers. 260 00:16:07,510 --> 00:16:11,790 It's good stuff. What about you? Any any beer research these days? Um. 261 00:16:11,950 --> 00:16:15,230 So, uh, not so much for me getting out. 262 00:16:15,390 --> 00:16:19,630 Uh, I've been been busy, but I did pick up, uh, 263 00:16:20,390 --> 00:16:25,710 Tom from pilot. Tom brought. Me. Tom brought me a Utah beer. Oh. 264 00:16:25,750 --> 00:16:29,990 Um, which, apparently it's true. They do make beer in Utah. Wow. 265 00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:36,070 And it wasn't 5%. It was 8.2%. Whoa. It was a double IPA. 266 00:16:36,630 --> 00:16:39,150 Um, it was called. I have it right here, too. 267 00:16:39,390 --> 00:16:41,670 Steph is screaming at. Us right now, ironically enough. 268 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:46,470 So I actually I actually messaged her a picture of the beer and she 269 00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:52,370 was astounded at how I got it. Mhm. Um, but it was called Ferda and 270 00:16:52,370 --> 00:16:55,730 it's from Templin Family Brewing. And um, 271 00:16:55,770 --> 00:17:02,330 it was a super solid IPA. Nice. Like, it wasn't mind blowing in 272 00:17:02,330 --> 00:17:06,090 any sense, but if it was around, it could be one of those. 273 00:17:06,130 --> 00:17:09,650 Hey, I'll pick this up because. It always safe. 274 00:17:09,650 --> 00:17:15,730 It's 8.2% and the flavor was great. And, uh, like, the aroma didn't 275 00:17:15,730 --> 00:17:21,130 spill out at you and like, it wasn't overly robust with flavor, 276 00:17:21,530 --> 00:17:24,850 but there was enough of both that just kept you drinking. 277 00:17:24,850 --> 00:17:28,570 And it was wonderful. And again, I didn't. Need to do. 278 00:17:28,610 --> 00:17:33,130 Can't thank Tom enough for the hookups. And you know what he does? 279 00:17:33,130 --> 00:17:38,210 He's. And the smuggling. A true, true friend, let me tell you. 280 00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:41,170 Start calling you guys. You two, uh, Smokey and the bandit. 281 00:17:41,410 --> 00:17:43,770 I like that. Yeah, just smuggling beer for 282 00:17:43,770 --> 00:17:46,940 you everywhere he goes. No. Every time he flies, he's just 283 00:17:46,940 --> 00:17:51,300 going to be listening to Eastbound and Down, loaded up in Brooklyn. 284 00:17:52,420 --> 00:17:56,820 That's a big ten four smoking. Snowman or whatever. Ice. Yeah. 285 00:17:56,860 --> 00:18:02,180 Snowman. Snowman. I love that movie. Ice man is Top Gun, right? Yes. 286 00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:05,060 Yes, it. Is one of those man's cold man's. 287 00:18:05,540 --> 00:18:09,860 So I was able to have a Utah beer and then a guy at work, 288 00:18:10,780 --> 00:18:13,260 you know, because I don't have a life and everybody else does. 289 00:18:13,780 --> 00:18:16,460 He went out to New York or. No, not New York, Washington, 290 00:18:16,460 --> 00:18:20,860 D.C., uh, went to a show or some kind of convention out there, 291 00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:24,780 stopped at a liquor store on his way back and brought a four pack 292 00:18:24,820 --> 00:18:27,460 of beer into work and was like, hey, give this a try. 293 00:18:27,980 --> 00:18:31,860 And it was from Zero Gravity Brewing from Vermont. Mm. 294 00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:36,220 I've heard of them. Yeah. And it was, uh, or American IPA 295 00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:40,260 beer was called Conehead. Uh, these guys have a super cool 296 00:18:40,260 --> 00:18:44,660 logo, and the beer doesn't have a, you know, 297 00:18:44,660 --> 00:18:50,920 it's not a crazy great rating. It's a 5.7 ABV American Pale uh, 298 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:57,400 3.8 on Untappd here, but the flavor was absolutely obnoxious. 299 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:03,640 Oh. For for an American IPA. Like, it was so flavorful, 300 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:09,880 so crisp, super light bodied. Um, and I just again, really enjoyed, 301 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,880 uh, appreciated the gesture. Just some really, 302 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,760 really kind folks out there I know. So makes you feel like you want 303 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,160 to be a better person, doesn't it? Uh, sometimes. 304 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,800 Sometimes every once in a while. Makes you think maybe I'm not a 305 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,720 good person. Maybe I'm a dick. Well, I knew that already. 306 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,040 I know I'm a dick. Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say. 307 00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:36,440 All right. I was just gonna say that's about 308 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,120 the research. Uh, I've been doing. Oh, I did a little research with 309 00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:46,210 some, uh, THC beverages. Oh. More dabbling. Yeah, so I dabbled it. 310 00:19:46,210 --> 00:19:52,010 Uh, I upped my dosage to the ten milligrams. Oh, shit. Yep. 311 00:19:52,490 --> 00:19:57,090 Daddy must have been feeling nice. So I'm not sure if I liked it 312 00:19:57,370 --> 00:20:02,450 too much. It was. I don't I don't know, it just made 313 00:20:02,450 --> 00:20:10,650 me feel way too lightheaded. Mhm. And like, very stumble. Not stumbly. 314 00:20:10,690 --> 00:20:14,930 Wobbly. Wobbly is a good word. It made me feel very wobbly. 315 00:20:15,130 --> 00:20:18,090 Your previous max was like six. Right. Six. 316 00:20:18,490 --> 00:20:23,090 Which I thoroughly enjoyed. Okay. And I even hit a sixer with a 317 00:20:23,130 --> 00:20:27,370 double IPA after. And that was probably the best 318 00:20:27,370 --> 00:20:31,770 I've ever felt in my life. I'm telling you, a nice gummy or we 319 00:20:31,810 --> 00:20:36,570 drink or whatever with a beer or a glass of wine is just chef's kiss. 320 00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:41,730 Yeah it I it was melty was just the only way I could describe it. 321 00:20:41,770 --> 00:20:44,700 That was a good night. And like, it was crazy because 322 00:20:44,700 --> 00:20:46,940 you're like a shell of a human. And like, 323 00:20:46,980 --> 00:20:52,420 everything was turning in my brain, like my brain was going. I got ideas. 324 00:20:52,460 --> 00:20:56,780 I just couldn't do anything. I was just there. 325 00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:00,500 And then you go, what was I just thinking of? That was a great idea. 326 00:21:00,780 --> 00:21:03,660 If I wish I could remember. It was good stuff, I would. 327 00:21:03,820 --> 00:21:09,420 I would second that to do that. Good times tens a lot. Um. 328 00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:14,740 I'm not I wouldn't recommend. Yeah. When I do ten, I spread it out like 329 00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:19,060 I'll do five, wait like an hour and a half ish and have another. 330 00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:21,300 Unless I'm just looking to get fucking blitzed or something. 331 00:21:21,340 --> 00:21:23,980 Right. And then I'll have enough. So it kind of sneaks up. 332 00:21:23,980 --> 00:21:28,140 But it's not like boom ten, right? So I had four cans, uh, 333 00:21:28,140 --> 00:21:31,100 two of the cans. I did drink kind of fast because 334 00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:34,580 it was like later at night, like 830, and I was just trying 335 00:21:34,580 --> 00:21:37,900 to get some sleep, you know, so I was trying to get it in and let 336 00:21:38,260 --> 00:21:43,680 the effects come out and then zonk, uh, and the other two times, 337 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,360 it kind of spread it out. Probably took me like an hour to 338 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,720 drink, uh, because I wanted to spread it out a little bit. Sure. 339 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,920 But, uh, it just caught up with me, and I think I'll stick with Sixers. 340 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,960 Yeah, I was, uh, I was at the I don't know what you call it, the weed shop, 341 00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:04,360 I guess one time, and I don't know. I don't know the dispensary. 342 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,240 Yeah, there you go. And I was buying some gummies 343 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,400 and they go, hey, you know, you spend way too much money. 344 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,240 You want a free Snoop Dogg soda? And I was like, all right, 345 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,320 I'll give it a shot. It was so fucking disgusting. 346 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,120 It tasted like total ass. Really? Yeah. And it didn't work that well. 347 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,480 I think it was. I can't remember it was 5 or 10, 348 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,240 but I remember I was like, oh, I end up chugging it because it was 349 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:33,160 so bad. It just tasted like medicine. Um, no thanks. Snoop. 350 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,680 No, there's a brewery here. They're really up north, 351 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:42,450 like five hours away, but they come out with some infused seltzers 352 00:22:42,970 --> 00:22:50,810 that go up to like 50mg a can, 5050, that's 25 and 50. Good lord. 353 00:22:50,850 --> 00:22:54,850 And I couldn't imagine what that would do to you. Yeah. 354 00:22:54,850 --> 00:22:56,890 One time I was buying gummies and the guy was like, hey, 355 00:22:56,890 --> 00:22:58,810 do you want these ones? I was like, no, those are the tens. 356 00:22:58,810 --> 00:23:01,730 I prefer the fives, you know? That's that's good for me. 357 00:23:02,050 --> 00:23:04,570 And he goes, oh, okay. Yeah. I usually end up having about 358 00:23:04,570 --> 00:23:08,650 100 a day. I was like, what? You have 100mg of THC a day? 359 00:23:08,690 --> 00:23:10,210 He goes, yeah. I'm like, 360 00:23:10,210 --> 00:23:12,650 how do you fucking function? He's like, you know, 361 00:23:12,650 --> 00:23:15,090 I just I have a high tolerance. Some people have a higher tolerance. 362 00:23:15,090 --> 00:23:18,490 I was like, yeah, okay, fine, you do 25 or 30mg, 363 00:23:18,490 --> 00:23:23,650 you do a fucking 100g a day. Balls. Also, it must be so expensive. 364 00:23:23,890 --> 00:23:28,210 I would be in a coma. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that would put me 365 00:23:28,210 --> 00:23:31,970 in a coma. It absolutely. Yeah. You'd be glued to the couch. 366 00:23:31,970 --> 00:23:33,810 You wouldn't. You couldn't move with that. 367 00:23:33,810 --> 00:23:36,210 It's insane. I'm trying to think like what is 368 00:23:36,210 --> 00:23:39,890 beyond not being able to move. Right. And that's what I would be. 369 00:23:39,930 --> 00:23:43,110 I mean, you can't die from doing too much weed. But. Right. 370 00:23:43,150 --> 00:23:48,150 But it's the next best thing. Oh. Worst thing? The story. 371 00:23:48,190 --> 00:23:51,550 My buddy, who used to be an EMT, rolled up on the scene one time, 372 00:23:51,710 --> 00:23:55,790 and this dad and son had split a cookie and they were just 373 00:23:55,830 --> 00:23:59,150 absolutely losing their shit. The mom had called 911 because 374 00:23:59,150 --> 00:24:01,510 she didn't know what to do and they showed up. 375 00:24:01,710 --> 00:24:04,030 Yeah, they showed up and he goes, look, ma'am, 376 00:24:04,030 --> 00:24:07,070 like there's nothing we can do. It's weed. They're not in danger. 377 00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:10,870 They just have to ride it out, right? We can we can take them in and 378 00:24:10,910 --> 00:24:13,710 hook them up to an IV, and they can wait it out in the hospital. 379 00:24:13,710 --> 00:24:15,390 But you're gonna have to pay for it, you know? 380 00:24:15,430 --> 00:24:19,030 Or you can just strap them down here and let it happen. 381 00:24:19,070 --> 00:24:21,670 She goes, no, get them out of my house. I don't want them here. 382 00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:23,510 I guess the sun was kind of freaking out. 383 00:24:24,350 --> 00:24:26,270 He goes, okay, do you still have the wrapper to that cookie? 384 00:24:26,270 --> 00:24:28,790 And she goes, yeah, here. And she pulls it out of the trash. 385 00:24:28,830 --> 00:24:32,630 It was 500mg. Holy balls. Yeah, 386 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:37,510 I'd be freaking out if I had 252. Yeah, I would say, uh, like, 387 00:24:37,790 --> 00:24:40,080 I've heard about people getting, like, paranoid when they do they 388 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,240 do stuff. Yeah. And, uh, so far, I don't understand 389 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:50,240 that. I'm not a paranoid stoner. I did that much. Yeah, 100%. 390 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,960 I would start freaking out going balls crazy. 391 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,440 Yeah, I guess the kid was freaking out and 392 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,160 the dad was so incredibly stoned. He was just, like, moving at, 393 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,200 you know, quarter speed kind of thing. Yeah. 394 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,840 And so they put the kid in the gurney and hooked him up to an IV, 395 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,840 and the mom to the dad said, well, say goodbye to your son. 396 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:17,360 And he's like, bye. Oh, good. That's brilliant. Yeah. What a. 397 00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:20,280 Story. Yeah. He had some crazy stories. 398 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,520 That was one of my favorite ones. That was a funny one, though. 399 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:23,880 But, uh. All right, well, 400 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,600 speaking of drinks, you're looking thirsty over there yourself. 401 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,320 Let's let's get you hydrated. In a world where craft beer is king. 402 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,880 A world where muscles are bigger than growlers. 403 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:42,180 Only one tongue can guide us. One man. One tongue. One tongue. 404 00:25:42,180 --> 00:25:46,340 Jabber. In this world, we must find out 405 00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:52,900 what is flax drinking? Well, much like your wife, 406 00:25:53,060 --> 00:25:58,420 who's a wonderful sweetheart. My wife. Um. I'm drinking a beer. 407 00:25:58,420 --> 00:26:03,780 That, believe it or not, my wife bought me. Wow. Which never happens. 408 00:26:03,940 --> 00:26:06,540 I'm hard for you. And we agreed we weren't going to 409 00:26:06,540 --> 00:26:09,740 do anything for Valentine's Day because it's Valentine's Day. 410 00:26:09,940 --> 00:26:14,180 Yeah, I'm with you. And, uh, she got me a six pack 411 00:26:14,180 --> 00:26:18,140 of beer. That's fantastic. Which is. Right. It's just. 412 00:26:18,140 --> 00:26:22,620 It says more than it than it does to most people. Um. 413 00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:27,020 And she bought it because it has, like, a tattoo heart on it. 414 00:26:27,540 --> 00:26:32,740 Oh, yeah. So it's, uh, Three Floyds. So they do some pretty decent stuff. 415 00:26:33,340 --> 00:26:35,900 I love their tagline here. It says it's not normal. 416 00:26:36,380 --> 00:26:44,310 And this is called jinx proof lager is 5.7% ABV and, uh, it says a crisp, 417 00:26:44,350 --> 00:26:47,990 pale and refreshing lager with a light malt sweetness and plenty of 418 00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:55,190 noble hops which noble hops come from Germany. See? Got it. Guten tag. 419 00:26:55,390 --> 00:26:58,390 Untappd calls it a pilsner, so I don't know if I really trust this, 420 00:26:58,390 --> 00:27:02,750 even though it's everything on here. Um, it's a lager. 421 00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:08,070 3.57 is what they got it for. It could be the best lager ever. 422 00:27:08,110 --> 00:27:10,510 It'll be a 3.5. It's crackery, you know, 423 00:27:10,550 --> 00:27:13,110 on the on the nose here. A little bit of them noble hops 424 00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:16,590 coming through. Mm. Smells crisp, if that's a thing. 425 00:27:17,270 --> 00:27:21,030 It is. Now. It is now. It's got great clarity. Oh, yeah. 426 00:27:21,070 --> 00:27:25,510 I mean, it's there's not too much left, but, um, I do enjoy this. 427 00:27:25,710 --> 00:27:29,510 Um, get the tongue jobber. Well, it's already warmed up. 428 00:27:30,550 --> 00:27:32,990 Warm up. So, I mean, 429 00:27:33,030 --> 00:27:38,610 it is a super fine classic lager. Definitely get those hops coming 430 00:27:38,610 --> 00:27:41,650 through a little bit. A little bit of that cracker coming 431 00:27:41,650 --> 00:27:48,770 through and just some super duper, super, super duper, super low end, 432 00:27:49,050 --> 00:27:52,570 tiny bit of bitterness that just hits you on the tip, tip, 433 00:27:52,570 --> 00:27:56,970 tip of that back tongue. Just the. Tip. Just super crushable. 434 00:27:57,170 --> 00:28:00,850 Lager is nothing more you can ask for out of this beer. 435 00:28:01,730 --> 00:28:06,090 I think 3.57 for it. You know, that's the reason we hate 436 00:28:06,090 --> 00:28:10,770 untapped. Right? Right, right. So like lager wise, I mean, 437 00:28:10,770 --> 00:28:14,930 you're probably looking at a four out of five here, but if you're an idiot, 438 00:28:14,970 --> 00:28:18,690 you know. You're five seven, right? That's how it goes. 439 00:28:18,730 --> 00:28:22,130 That's how it goes. Bunch of idiots on untapped. Yeah. 440 00:28:22,170 --> 00:28:26,290 And, uh. But, yeah. Super duper cool. Cannot see how many times I can 441 00:28:26,290 --> 00:28:30,370 say super duper. Take a drink. Yeah, it's got the skull and the 442 00:28:30,370 --> 00:28:35,930 heart with the arrows going through it and that vintage tattoo style. 443 00:28:36,770 --> 00:28:40,420 She did a great job picking this one out. Go, wife. Cheers. 444 00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:45,660 To my wife. My wife. Very nice. Uh. All right, let's hit a little news 445 00:28:45,660 --> 00:28:48,260 before we get up on out of here. Do you see the video of, uh, 446 00:28:48,260 --> 00:28:51,300 Saquon Barkley shotgunning that beer after the Super Bowl win? 447 00:28:51,460 --> 00:28:56,460 Yeah, it took like 0.7 seconds or something like that. Fucking beast. 448 00:28:56,780 --> 00:28:59,980 I almost wonder if he didn't actually finish it. It was so fast. 449 00:29:00,020 --> 00:29:02,820 That crossed my mind too. But the other thing that crossed 450 00:29:02,820 --> 00:29:06,860 my mind is I saw somebody who used to work when he was in 451 00:29:06,860 --> 00:29:10,180 college at Penn State. Somebody used to bartend at this 452 00:29:10,180 --> 00:29:14,420 place he used to go to all the time, and they made this big tweet. 453 00:29:14,460 --> 00:29:19,740 They said they used to bartend at so and so and Saquon would come in, 454 00:29:19,780 --> 00:29:23,900 you know, on the weekends. And he said he would just sit in this 455 00:29:23,940 --> 00:29:29,900 back corner to try and just stay like chill. And you know uh hidden from. 456 00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:33,100 People not getting recognized. And he hated getting recognized 457 00:29:33,100 --> 00:29:36,100 because when he people would saw him, they would just buy him drinks. 458 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,840 he'd buy him shots and he wouldn't drink them. 459 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,720 So he would just have this pile of drinks that kept getting 460 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,440 bigger and bigger at his table. Um, but the person said even though 461 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,280 he never drank them, he said they tipped him for every single drink 462 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,720 that they had brought to the table. So just kind of showing he's 463 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,920 that much of a like he's just a stand up guy. 464 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,400 Everything he really does, like the Super Bowl parade when he 465 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,840 saw the Ballboy cheering behind the fence along the way, and he picked 466 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:13,040 their ball boy up over the gate and then brought him on the team bus. 467 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,560 Oh, I didn't see that. Yeah. To celebrate the parade with him. 468 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,040 Nice. Like, he's just a super good dude. 469 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,920 He seems like a really nice guy. Yeah. 470 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:25,080 Like, just a genuine PA guy, I guess. Yeah. 471 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,960 And after shotgunning that beer, I like him even more. Yeah. 472 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,440 So anyways, the beer that he shotgunned was open beer and is a 473 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,650 brand that is led by former New Belgium marketer David. Whiskey. 474 00:30:38,450 --> 00:30:46,930 No, that's not a real name. Whiskey. I s p n I e w sky. 475 00:30:47,210 --> 00:30:51,970 Well, that's kind of cool. Yeah. Uh, anyways, it's a la based lager 476 00:30:51,970 --> 00:30:56,650 brand, and, uh, makes me wonder if he was sponsored to Juggy. 477 00:30:56,690 --> 00:30:58,130 Either way, I'm impressed, I don't care. 478 00:30:58,170 --> 00:31:01,770 I'm shocked they didn't have garage beer. You're wrong. 479 00:31:01,770 --> 00:31:04,250 Locker room for that? Well, I guess not, though, because. 480 00:31:04,290 --> 00:31:08,210 No. Yeah. Jason. Jason. It's true. And I feel like he's more of an 481 00:31:08,730 --> 00:31:11,530 advocate for it than Travis. Yeah. I mean, 482 00:31:11,530 --> 00:31:14,730 he looks like an advocate for beer. Well, and he's in, uh, he was in the 483 00:31:14,730 --> 00:31:20,250 Christmas ad that they did, which was horribly, horribly creative. 484 00:31:21,330 --> 00:31:26,810 I don't know if I saw that. Oh, dude. Um, the they parodied some 485 00:31:26,810 --> 00:31:31,610 Christmas song, like, some classic Christmas song, but the only word 486 00:31:31,610 --> 00:31:36,660 they used in the song was beer. All right. And that was it. 487 00:31:36,980 --> 00:31:39,500 And then it was just like people in a bar, and they were just 488 00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:41,940 singing to this Christmas song. But the only words were. 489 00:31:41,980 --> 00:31:45,380 Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer. Yes. I think that's. 490 00:31:45,380 --> 00:31:47,180 Actually what it was. Oh, I'm just making that up. 491 00:31:47,220 --> 00:31:50,900 No, I think that's what it was. Like jingle bells, but just beer. 492 00:31:50,940 --> 00:31:54,020 All right. So, yeah. Go on with the story. No. 493 00:31:54,020 --> 00:31:59,260 That's it. That's that's the story. Well, okay. Um, $1 beers for life. 494 00:31:59,260 --> 00:32:02,700 If anybody wants a $1 beer for the rest of their life. 495 00:32:02,740 --> 00:32:06,980 San Francisco brewery is offering consumers $1 beers for life. 496 00:32:07,020 --> 00:32:10,660 Kind of standard. Deviant brewing launched a new 497 00:32:10,660 --> 00:32:13,580 membership program to help fund a new taproom. 498 00:32:14,060 --> 00:32:17,500 Consumers who donate within three different tiers are awarded with 499 00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:22,860 cheaper pint prices for life. A $1,000 donation will get you a 500 00:32:22,860 --> 00:32:28,260 $5 pint for life. 5000 donation gets you $3 pints for 501 00:32:28,260 --> 00:32:35,320 life, or if you donate $10,000, you get the $1 pints for life. 502 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,000 Does it matter what beer do they specify? Does not specify. 503 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,480 Says the tap. Excuse me. The program will run until the end of 504 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,400 San Francisco Beer Week, which is February 21st through March 2nd. 505 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,440 About 5 or 6 people as of this article being published have signed 506 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,680 up so far, according to the report. So if you want to drop ten G's, 507 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,600 get dollar pints for life. Yeah, I'm just trying to think, 508 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,560 is it worth it? I mean, I guess if you had ten grand 509 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:08,200 to blow, but let's say if you had ten grand to blow in a donation, 510 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,640 then it wouldn't matter what you pay for beers at Taprooms. 511 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,560 That's also true. So let's do some math here. 512 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,680 I'm going to say the average pint price is, especially in San 513 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,040 Francisco is eight bucks. That might be generous. 514 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,040 San Francisco is. Expensive to craft breweries. 515 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,520 That's about what it is here. Yeah. Usually it's like eight bucks. 516 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,520 We'll say eight bucks. If if you were to get if you were to 517 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:38,090 spend $10,000 on $8 pints, that's 1002 1250 pints. I just don't know. 518 00:33:38,130 --> 00:33:42,170 I think, yeah. You have to drink. More than the money. Yeah. 519 00:33:42,170 --> 00:33:47,530 If you had the money to just do it, I think you'd do it. Nike. 520 00:33:48,050 --> 00:33:55,210 But it's not something that is like, uh, a good deal, you know, like. 521 00:33:55,610 --> 00:34:00,130 Unless you drink 1300 pints of that. Drink 1300 pints. Yeah. 522 00:34:00,170 --> 00:34:02,090 Otherwise, yeah, I don't I don't think so. 523 00:34:02,650 --> 00:34:06,250 Anyways, if anybody's got the money to spend, uh, 524 00:34:06,370 --> 00:34:11,570 with the Super Bowl out of the way, total wine put put out some stats as 525 00:34:11,570 --> 00:34:15,290 to what was the most popular beer in those cities and drinks in general. 526 00:34:15,610 --> 00:34:18,450 Uh, they shared a list of the top brands sold in Kansas City and 527 00:34:18,450 --> 00:34:22,890 Philly home market brand families Boulevard in Kansas City and 528 00:34:22,890 --> 00:34:26,010 Surfside in Philly topped the list in the respective cities. 529 00:34:26,370 --> 00:34:30,650 Um, the rest of the top five best sellers in Kansas City were 530 00:34:30,970 --> 00:34:34,950 number four For Molson Coors. Miller number three. 531 00:34:35,110 --> 00:34:40,950 Tito's vodka number two. Cutwater spirits and the number 532 00:34:40,950 --> 00:34:44,030 one beer. Well, drink, but happens to be 533 00:34:44,030 --> 00:34:48,990 beer in Kansas City for the Super Bowl was Michelob Ultra. 534 00:34:49,390 --> 00:34:52,150 I don't understand that. I just don't drink beer. 535 00:34:52,150 --> 00:34:54,870 Then I just. It's so gross. You know, they came out with the 536 00:34:54,870 --> 00:35:00,950 Michelob zero. Oh, goody. Was it already a zero? Exactly. 537 00:35:01,430 --> 00:35:04,870 It's like, how can you make it any less? Yeah. 538 00:35:05,430 --> 00:35:08,670 Um, in Philly, the top five shook out with number four. 539 00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:13,470 Molson Coors, Coors number three. Constellation brands, Corona number 540 00:35:13,470 --> 00:35:18,750 two. Cutwater spirits again. And the number one beer or drink is 541 00:35:18,750 --> 00:35:25,790 beer in Philly. Miller. Okay. Yeah. Meanwhile, Buzz Balls was the top 542 00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:29,670 seller in Total wine stores in Boston, Dallas and Los Angeles 543 00:35:29,710 --> 00:35:32,400 across the three day period. Is Or is that the blue one? 544 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,000 That's right. There's a buzz ball shortage in 545 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,400 LA right now. Uh, the top, 546 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,000 I guess ten after Buzz Balls. Josh Cellars, 547 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:46,720 that's wine modelo. Modelo. Uh, number seven, Boston beers, 548 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,440 sun cruiser. I don't even know what that is. 549 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,840 Number six, Jack Daniels. Yeah, 550 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,600 it must be like an RTD or something. Five Crown Royal four, Surfside, 551 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,680 three. Don Julio, two Tito's vodka and 552 00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:05,560 number one Cutwater spirits. I've had a single cutwater before. 553 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,600 I just, uh. I've never had it. That's the brand. 554 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,360 That Ballast Point started before they got bought out for $1 billion. 555 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,120 Okay. Do you know when Ballast Point got 556 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:21,040 bought out for that billion dollars? They did not include Cutwater. No. 557 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:27,720 So then they later sold Cutwater to Budweiser. Genius. Fucking genius. 558 00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:30,360 I think I have that right. I think it's Cutwater that was 559 00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:33,020 started by Ballast Point. Whatever Ballast Point started 560 00:36:33,020 --> 00:36:36,020 was then later sold to Budweiser. Tell you what, I might be able to get 561 00:36:36,020 --> 00:36:42,380 behind this Sun Cruiser thing. Might. Might not. It's, uh, iced tea drinks. 562 00:36:42,860 --> 00:36:48,020 Oh, okay. Like a hard iced tea? Yeah. They got, uh, raspberry classic 563 00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:52,020 lemonade and iced tea and then peach. Mm. Interesting. 564 00:36:52,860 --> 00:36:56,780 No, I wouldn't knock it till I try it. As long as it's not too sweet. 565 00:36:57,220 --> 00:37:02,180 This, uh. I don't think it is. It says, uh, one 100 calories, 566 00:37:02,180 --> 00:37:06,140 so it can't be too much. Yeah. Not a ton of sugar. Actual sugar? 567 00:37:06,180 --> 00:37:11,780 Yeah, maybe fake sweeteners and shit, but. Yeah. And it's a vodka based. 568 00:37:11,940 --> 00:37:15,460 Oh, okay. Very neat, very neat. Well, let's give it a shot. 569 00:37:15,580 --> 00:37:18,580 You remember a couple of years ago, there was the guy who worked for 570 00:37:18,580 --> 00:37:22,700 the Japanese government that got drunk and had a USB drive stolen 571 00:37:23,300 --> 00:37:26,260 because he, like, fell asleep on the train. Oh, man. 572 00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:30,550 Maybe I have a such a shitty memory. I do too. 573 00:37:30,550 --> 00:37:33,710 I read this upcoming story and immediately remembered I was like, 574 00:37:33,710 --> 00:37:37,390 God, this sounds so familiar. Did we do the story? 575 00:37:37,590 --> 00:37:40,470 Oh yeah, we talked about it. Like basically he worked for the 576 00:37:40,470 --> 00:37:42,310 government. He had a flash drive with a bunch 577 00:37:42,310 --> 00:37:45,870 of sensitive data on it and got hammered on a train, fell asleep, 578 00:37:45,870 --> 00:37:48,910 and someone stole his bag. Not too different. 579 00:37:48,910 --> 00:37:52,110 Japanese government worker gets drunk, loses sensitive information, 580 00:37:52,110 --> 00:37:55,230 and an employee of the finance ministry's customs and Tariff Bureau 581 00:37:55,270 --> 00:37:58,230 went drinking with a colleague after work last Thursday in the 582 00:37:58,230 --> 00:38:03,110 city of Yokohama, south of Tokyo. Within five hours, the man had 583 00:38:03,110 --> 00:38:07,750 nine glasses of beer. Good job. It wasn't until he had left the 584 00:38:07,750 --> 00:38:11,270 restaurant, gotten on a train and traveled home that he realized his 585 00:38:11,270 --> 00:38:15,390 bag, containing highly sensitive information, was missing. 586 00:38:15,790 --> 00:38:18,150 The Finance Ministry revealed the security breach this week, 587 00:38:18,190 --> 00:38:21,390 telling reporters the bag contained administrative documents with the 588 00:38:21,390 --> 00:38:26,870 names, addresses and case summaries of 187 people, including a suspect 589 00:38:26,870 --> 00:38:30,450 allegedly involved in drug smuggling. The employee had received the 590 00:38:30,450 --> 00:38:33,370 documents at a meeting earlier that day, the ministry said. 591 00:38:33,410 --> 00:38:36,970 Also in the bag was the employee's work like work laptop? 592 00:38:37,010 --> 00:38:39,530 Easy for me to say, containing personal information 593 00:38:39,530 --> 00:38:42,330 about the man and his colleagues. The ministry apologized for 594 00:38:42,330 --> 00:38:45,090 undermining the public's trust, saying it would investigate the 595 00:38:45,090 --> 00:38:47,970 matter and take strict action as needed. 596 00:38:48,250 --> 00:38:50,490 So far, there have been no reports that the lost information 597 00:38:50,490 --> 00:38:53,810 has been used illegally. As of Thursday, the documents and 598 00:38:53,810 --> 00:38:58,490 computer had not been found. Whoops. So I'm just going to go out on a limb 599 00:38:58,490 --> 00:39:04,770 here. Just put myself in the shoes. If I were carrying super sensitive, 600 00:39:05,330 --> 00:39:10,770 highly classified information. Mhm. That thing's not leaving my hand. 601 00:39:11,330 --> 00:39:16,770 I'm not going out with it. Right. And if I am it's, it's handcuffed 602 00:39:16,770 --> 00:39:21,530 to me or it is chained to me. Yeah. Or something. 603 00:39:21,570 --> 00:39:25,410 Or there's some kind of cool high tech magnet, you know, that 604 00:39:25,410 --> 00:39:29,300 connects to a bracelet. I have that. Sure. Handle the briefcase. 605 00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:32,260 Doesn't leave. I'm sure it's there. It sounds really cool. 606 00:39:32,260 --> 00:39:34,460 And if not, million dollar idea, right? 607 00:39:34,620 --> 00:39:38,700 Because clearly, these Japanese guys really, really need it. Yeah. 608 00:39:38,740 --> 00:39:45,100 If we can invent this, we'd be huge in Japan. Fucking millionaires. Yeah. 609 00:39:45,380 --> 00:39:49,740 These guys, they're super smart, but not with super sensitive. 610 00:39:49,740 --> 00:39:54,140 Can't handle their booze. Yep. Also, have they heard of Dropbox? 611 00:39:54,180 --> 00:39:57,180 Why are they still using USB drives? Yeah, I don't. 612 00:39:57,180 --> 00:40:00,820 I don't because they keep losing them. They're just I don't know. 613 00:40:01,140 --> 00:40:06,380 Yeah. It's mind blowing. Mind boggling when your thoughts 614 00:40:06,420 --> 00:40:13,140 get all trapped, like in a bottle. Exactly. Oh, Ron. Uh. All right. 615 00:40:13,140 --> 00:40:16,140 I think we should end it there. I'm gonna say hi to Vanessa. 616 00:40:17,060 --> 00:40:20,100 Hi, Vanessa. Hi.
