Speaker:Emote up a little too hard this past weekend.
Speaker:Oh, any tears shed?
Speaker:No tears shed.
Speaker:Just a really pretty shiner. Nice.
Speaker:Well, we'll talk about that in a couple of you.
Speaker:I want to also ask you if you painted your nails.
Speaker:Don't answer just yet.
Speaker:I'm hoping. I'm hoping you did.
Speaker:And then join us for the first time in a long time
Speaker:because he demanded to give flex and workout tips.
Speaker:Welcome back.

Speaker:Scott.
Speaker:Hey, what's up, everybody?
Speaker:What's happenin? What? You know, voice.
Speaker:You know who.
Speaker:It's it's kind of like the song Elton John sings.
Speaker:The bitch is back. OK.
Speaker:Look, as they wrapped up like a douche, but that works.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And plus, the I did those flex kind of let himself go a little bit, so.
Speaker:Yeah. Tips for him.
Speaker:Was for everyone that's angry on Twitter, by the way.
Speaker:I know that it's revved up like a deuce.
Speaker:And also,
Speaker:I know that's not an Elton John song, so please don't add me for that one.
Speaker:Yeah, Flex is looking a little flabby these days and could really use some tips
Speaker:from someone who really just pour is on the iron over there.
Speaker:Oh, man.
Speaker:Yeah, this couldn't work out better for me. Yeah.
Speaker:This is great.
Speaker:Your wife's going to be so excited. Like,

Speaker:Oh, gosh.
Speaker:Anyways, like I said, thanks for drink and thanks for join in.
Speaker:Follow us on the socials.
Speaker:Flex me beer underscores in between.
Speaker:And of course, Craft Beer Republic
Speaker:I'm trying to do this whole real thing.
Speaker:Fuckin Instagram and their goddamn damn.
Speaker:And I'm trying to play somewhat nice, but I just hate them.
Speaker:So suck on Instagram.
Speaker:Sorry. That's.
Speaker:That's the algorithms and everything.
Speaker:It's just. It's all.
Speaker:Yeah, I got this thing in days is like, you can no longer post videos.
Speaker:They have to be real. And I'm like, first of all, really?
Speaker:What's the difference?
Speaker:But second, yeah, it's like, second of all, fuck off Instagram.
Speaker:So we'll see. Maybe I'll join Ticktock or it's like.
Speaker:The only thing that makes sense anymore is that nothing makes sense.
Speaker:That is true.
Speaker:So it's OK. Scott still in my space.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I was thinking about downloading Instagram, but not now.
Speaker:You're right.
Speaker:This sounds. A waste of. Typing.
Speaker:It is like. Yeah.
Speaker:I they wait.
Speaker:I can't add a profile song to this.
Speaker:Where's my top.
Speaker:Eight
Speaker:love?
Speaker:Everybody. Like, where do I check the bulletin?
Speaker:Where is the bulletin?
Speaker:I need to find the surveys.
Speaker:I like how everyone was like, Hey, I'm going to just shout it out to the world.
Speaker:Who I do and don't like of my actual friends.
Speaker:Here's the top eight people that I, I do like.
Speaker:Yeah, that was always a big thing to me.
Speaker:Like, the top was the top six or top eight.
Speaker:Because either way, it was like, okay, it's like, I like you.
Speaker:I mean, you always felt like the girl you're dating at the time is number one,
Speaker:always on that.
Speaker:It was like, you know, whoever, because who cares?
Speaker:After that.
Speaker:Then do you just console people say, well, you were number nine,
Speaker:you almost made it.
Speaker:Yeah, MR.
Speaker:You just you're right there. Yeah.
Speaker:If it wasn't for that bud light you brought to the party last week.
Speaker:Yeah. You know, sneaked up to number eight.
Speaker:Keep trying.
Speaker:But if.
Speaker:Somebody dies, you're in. The.
Speaker:Past don't go. Don't go killing anybody.
Speaker:But yeah.
Speaker:It's not worth this.
Speaker:It's not worth the top eight.
Speaker:Yeah, that's for sure.
Speaker:Well, the things we remember.
Speaker:Thanks, MySpace. Is MySpace still does it exist?
Speaker:I know.
Speaker:Was like a band. Hi, Tom Lee.
Speaker:I don't exactly.
Speaker:So weird.
Speaker:Anyways, all right. Lots to get to today.
Speaker:Some interesting news in the beer world.
Speaker:The modern time saga is still going, as is the Stone Saga.
Speaker:Big award for Matt Brandel sent over at Firestone Thanks to Vanessa.
Speaker:We'll get it out early. Hi, Vanessa.
Speaker:Oh, hey, Vanessa. Hey, Vanessa.
Speaker:She sent us in a news story about a Florida man being arrested
Speaker:inside inside of a Wal-Mart.
Speaker:What's what's more harmonious than Florida man?
Speaker:And Wal-Mart, they just go hand in hand.
Speaker:So we'll get to that.
Speaker:But right now, it is time to kick off the celebration.
Speaker:This is batch three. 16.
Speaker:There's only one beer that we can be drinking on batch three. 16
Speaker:oh, right.
Speaker:We've had this on the show before. Back on 172.
Speaker:But for batch three, six teen, we had to crack open
Speaker:not only a cantaloupe ass, but El Segundo Bruins Broken Skull IPA
Speaker:6.7% has 67 abuse
Speaker:and this is kind of cool the untapped and beer advocates scores have not changed
Speaker:since we had it on 172 in October of 2019 3.8 and untapped 88.
Speaker:I'll be your advocate real quick they say broken skull IPA a bad ass 6.7%
Speaker:India pale ale designed by Steve Austin and El Segundo Brewing Company
Speaker:for the working man and woman.
Speaker:It features Citra Cascade
Speaker:and Chinook Hops to deliver a big flavor with an easy finish.
Speaker:Now stop reading and start enjoying this awesome beer.
Speaker:Cheers Steve I assume that's Steve Austin
Speaker:I can I can say we've had it before.
Speaker:I think I had a case of these at WrestleMania
Speaker:this year for obvious reasons, and it is just a classic old school
Speaker:IPA a lot of Westie going on reigns me,
Speaker:a lot of Torpedo IPA from Sierra Nevada, just real dank and bitter
Speaker:and but balanced it's not like uh, you know, quite to teeth
Speaker:shattering balance, but lot of a lot of pine in this one.
Speaker:Yeah, it's a good piney beer and I know Steve because we're good friends.
Speaker:He, he kind of it's he likes this here in Nevada
Speaker:and I think he may have, you know, said, hey, I'll take this and maybe just,
Speaker:you know, tweak it a little bit, make it a little bit better.
Speaker:But yeah, it's just a good basic IPA.
Speaker:Yeah, it's, it's a working man's IPA.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Well, I could drink it one or two or three or four cases of those.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:What was it? The promise of a beer. What?
Speaker:Another beer. What? Another beer? Well, a fourth beer.
Speaker:A shot of tequila.
Speaker:What would you drink? Yeah.
Speaker:I mean, if you like IPAs, this is a good beer to buy.
Speaker:It's a damn good beer. And that's all I got to say about that.
Speaker:Well.
Speaker:They're then well played and the price point is pretty gnarly.
Speaker:You know, it does kind of fall in the, the algorithm it's
Speaker:perfect for the algorithm.
Speaker:Is I don't remember how much it cost.
Speaker:The here it's like something like 1299.
Speaker:For four pack that's not bad.
Speaker:Oh it's not bad at all.
Speaker:The American lottery. Is like. 999.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know I'll say I wasn't
Speaker:expecting much of that lager, but it's pretty pretty good Bri.
Speaker:Not bad. Had a few of those at WrestleMania two.
Speaker:Yeah. It's not bad at all.
Speaker:Go, go, go out and get those.
Speaker:Yeah. I have to apologize.
Speaker:I didn't think folks had access to these in Milwaukee and I didn't tell them
Speaker:that the plan as of like 12 hours ago was to have this on the show for 316
Speaker:and then.
Speaker:Fine, I'm fine. It's fine. I know everything's fine. I'm fine.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Yeah, the suicide hotline number is one 800.
Speaker:So. I'm sorry, Flex.
Speaker:I didn't know you guys had no like a dick.
Speaker:And anyways, it's true, you are being so.
Speaker:I know.
Speaker:It's a funny thing about the algorithm, right?
Speaker:So I got a another buddy listening to the show now,
Speaker:and he's now kind of diving into the craft scene.
Speaker:Oh, good.
Speaker:No, just.
Speaker:Just mildly.
Speaker:And his name's Dustin and.
Speaker:Hi, Dustin, because he's going to listen to this show.
Speaker:Dusty.
Speaker:You came over a couple of nights ago to play cribbage,
Speaker:which I don't think anybody outside the Midwest knows so.
Speaker:No, under the age of 70.
Speaker:Yeah, don't even ask me.
Speaker:And I was telling him about this
Speaker:beer.
Speaker:I was drinking, and he brought up the algorithm out of nowhere,
Speaker:and I'm just like, Shut up, please.
Speaker:I'm listening to the show.
Speaker:They're having Reese.
Speaker:I think it was Deb.
Speaker:I forget who I think it was.
Speaker:Deb, someone recently was like, Yeah, but it totally fit the algorithm.
Speaker:I was like.
Speaker:Oh. Like, just in casual conversation.
Speaker:Like the algorithm. Yes.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:It kind of hits you out of left field and somebody brings it up.
Speaker:You're like, Wow, people actually listen to the algorithm.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I mean, it's fucking science.
Speaker:Well, I am a scientist.
Speaker:You are.
Speaker:You flex for president.
Speaker:Come on, let's let's make this happen.
Speaker:A craft beer in every hand and algorithm in every.
Speaker:Wow. Now, well, now that doesn't work.
Speaker:Anyways, let's let's move on to
Speaker:perfect.
Speaker:Let's move on to more interesting conversation.
Speaker:Uh, last weekend was, was the old birthday
Speaker:and so we did a nice little brewery crawl out to Ventura, California.
Speaker:We hit up a few in the Midwest.
Speaker:We hit, of course, Agra, went to oh, Jesus.
Speaker:I'm drawing a blank all of a sudden. Topa, topa.
Speaker:Thank you.
Speaker:And then we went to a brewery that I will
Speaker:all leave off the list of names.
Speaker:It was so bad we didn't finish our beers.
Speaker:We, three of us got three different beers, and none of them were good.
Speaker:Wow. That's good. Now, I'm curious.
Speaker:I won't say their names.
Speaker:I will say they've been on the show before.
Speaker:Who? Yeesh.
Speaker:The locals. Oh, no. No.
Speaker:It was rough.
Speaker:And here's this brought up a question.
Speaker:One of the beer tenders walked by.
Speaker:We had just gotten our beers taken like two sips,
Speaker:and maybe she goes, Uh, hey, you know, how's how's the beer?
Speaker:You know, it being a good beer dinner. Hey, how's the beer? How's everything?
Speaker:Like, hey.
Speaker:You know one of those?
Speaker:Because it's like, what am I going to say?
Speaker:Hey, it's kind of shitty.
Speaker:Like, all three of these different beers kind of suck.
Speaker:Can you pour us three different ones? That'll probably also suck.
Speaker:I mean, I didn't. Yeah, like, what's the right response here?
Speaker:Is that you.
Speaker:Every and all these beers are horrible.
Speaker:Like, how do you respond?
Speaker:It's not just like, one. One didn't come out great, or we're.
Speaker:I'm not a fan of this one style. I mean, it's all styles.
Speaker:We wanted in three separate beers.
Speaker:None of them were were very good.
Speaker:I was like, Yeah, it's great. Yeah.
Speaker:You can fix it. You're not the brewer.
Speaker:You know?
Speaker:So I was just. Like, uh.
Speaker:They were just playing the lines.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:This did not taste like dirty lines.
Speaker:So anyways,
Speaker:then from there, we hit up a restaurant, had some cocktails, smart.
Speaker:We had beer all day. Then had some cocktails.
Speaker:Oh, we hit up.
Speaker:The transmission to transmission is a little newer to the scene, and they just
Speaker:opened a rooftop lounge area, which is awesome.
Speaker:It overlooks the beach.
Speaker:Damn, that's. Hot.
Speaker:Oh, Daddy, it was so hot.
Speaker:And on top of all that,
Speaker:they don't.
Speaker:The rooftop deck is 21 and over.
Speaker:So, you know, there's no kids running around.
Speaker:Just nice to chill, relax and spot for a beer and pizza.
Speaker:Sounds like a gnarly birthday.
Speaker:Yeah, it's good times the hundred.
Speaker:The night before, the wife took me out to dinner.
Speaker:Went to this place in downtown L.A..
Speaker:It's kind of like 71 above, I think.
Speaker:Anyways, it's on the 71st floor.
Speaker:God can go there then, right? Yeah.
Speaker:Finally there.
Speaker:Was, I was like a it's like a. Club.
Speaker:Yeah. I've been going there for years. Yeah.
Speaker:That's exactly it.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's on the very first floor of the US bank. It was really weird.
Speaker:We're sitting there eating and like, out of the corner of my eye
Speaker:like below me is a helicopter.
Speaker:I was like, Whoa. It was like, what? It was like mid-conversation.
Speaker:I was like, It's weird to see a helicopter below you when you're eating.
Speaker:So let me. Ask you.
Speaker:So you have a ginormous US bank building.
Speaker:Yeah, that's because we have a giant US bank building in Milwaukee.
Speaker:It's like the tallest building in the downtown.
Speaker:Oh, this is.
Speaker:I think this used to be the tall. It's not anymore.
Speaker:It's like second or third tallest in downtown L.A., but
Speaker:yeah, they have 72 floors the restaurant's on the 71st.
Speaker:It's also known for having a slide that like goes out of like the 65th floor
Speaker:and then like goes down a couple of floors back inside the building.
Speaker:I guess they closed during COVID
Speaker:and still haven't opened yet, but yeah, I would totally do otherwise.
Speaker:Like, no fucking way.
Speaker:No, I probably. Wouldn't do it here.
Speaker:Oh, sounds awesome.
Speaker:Would you? Would you skydive, flex.
Speaker:I would consider it like I would need
Speaker:somebody to come up to me like, Hey, I'm going to sign up to do this.
Speaker:You need to do it with me.
Speaker:And then that would probably be forced to sign up and then I would be scared
Speaker:as shit to do it. But yeah, I would probably fucking do it.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Well, I'll be that guy now.
Speaker:Yeah. So anyway, so that was fun.
Speaker:Uh, had a nice little birthday weekend, then, uh,
Speaker:things came to a not so good point.
Speaker:I've talked about it many time.
Speaker:On the show before.
Speaker:Uh, Vin Scully voice the Dodgers
Speaker:guy. If you need to get Kleenex, now's a great time.
Speaker:Yeah, I've.
Speaker:Got mine ready.
Speaker:Passed away the other day. To me,
Speaker:he was not only the voice of summer, but kind of like the grandpa of summer.
Speaker:All my grandparents died really early.
Speaker:Those like I grew up with Vin saying it's time for Dodger baseball.
Speaker:I cried on his last little tear in his last broadcast from San Francisco
Speaker:when he thanked everybody and said that he needed us more than we needed or,
Speaker:you know, he needed has more than we needed him.
Speaker:First of all, bullshit.
Speaker:Second of all, I'm not crying.
Speaker:You're crying.
Speaker:Of course, tears were shed when they announced that he passed away.
Speaker:And then to make things worse, the news decided to play over and over again.
Speaker:The clip a few days later from Dodger Stadium, where asshole Dave Roberts
Speaker:got the entire crowd to say It's time for Dodger baseball.
Speaker:I fuck, man.
Speaker:So with that,
Speaker:before we share any Vince stories, I just I figured I'd play this.
Speaker:This is my favorite Vine clip of all time because his voice is so great.
Speaker:They got him to just read a grocery list because why not
Speaker:Not so good.
Speaker:Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker:Kosher, that is.
Speaker:Yeah, kosher. That is. Bellona.
Speaker:So it's a thanks to Vin for the many,
Speaker:many years of being the best voice and definitely baseball.
Speaker:And, I don't know, flex.
Speaker:I mean, I'm sure you've heard of Vin Scully out there, right?
Speaker:Oh, yeah.
Speaker:Naturally. Who he is in Milwaukee. But.
Speaker:But you know who he is.
Speaker:Yeah, like, we we had both Vin and Chick Hearn in L.A..
Speaker:We had kind of the best of of sports.
Speaker:They weren't quite as drunk as Harry Carey, but, yeah,
Speaker:we kind of had, like, two of the best voices in sports.
Speaker:And so.
Speaker:Anyways, thanks, Vin, for raising me through the summers,
Speaker:and I'm going to go cry into my shirt now.
Speaker:Yeah, I mean, I go back many, many years as Vin as a as a kid.
Speaker:Uh, I remember we had a radio in our garage,
Speaker:and I'd turn on the radio listening to Dodger games listening to Vin and,
Speaker:uh, you know, do whatever I was doing in the driveway
Speaker:and maybe be throwing a ball around or swing the bat or whatever.
Speaker:But, I mean, from then up to I mean, for years and years and years,
Speaker:I he, I mean, he did it for 67 years and,
Speaker:and I mean, it was just the best.
Speaker:I'm getting the opportunity now.
Speaker:I watch a lot of different baseball games listening to different announcers.
Speaker:And I was doing that last week and just about every game
Speaker:that I listen to, every pass, every announcer
Speaker:would you know, talk about Vin and how he helped their career. And
Speaker:even the Padres announcer one of them,
Speaker:he said, I wouldn't have a career who wasn't for Vin Scully, too.
Speaker:That helped me out when I first got started.
Speaker:And that's just the kind of guy he was.
Speaker:And he's there'll never be another one like him.
Speaker:And he, he was the best.
Speaker:Yeah. And I'm a huge Niners fan.
Speaker:And he called the the big play, right?
Speaker:Montana passed it in at the end and got an touchdown.
Speaker:And then I was go I mean, that was Vin, so.
Speaker:Yeah, they're the big part of my life.
Speaker:There is a while.
Speaker:Yeah, he did football, he did golf, he did baseball.
Speaker:And, you know, eventually he backed off from that.
Speaker:Then every time he would back off it, the same reason the same reason
Speaker:why he retired, he goes, I'm in an awesome family time.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:R.I.P. Vin.
Speaker:Yeah, we'll miss him, that's for sure. Yeah.
Speaker:So you bring the mood down.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:we kind of in Milwaukee, we will eventually feel
Speaker:the same way when Bob Euchre ends up leaving baseball for the world.
Speaker:And cause that's, you know, Mr.
Speaker:Baseball to us.
Speaker:And he's been in the league playing and announcing for over 50 years.
Speaker:So we kind of it's like a preemptive for us here
Speaker:in Wisconsin to kind of get that, you know, unfortunate feeling.
Speaker:So the line that really gets me from him is it's
Speaker:not even from like a real baseball game.
Speaker:It's from Major League.
Speaker:You know, the, the Indians win it, the Indians win it.
Speaker:Oh, my God, the Indians.
Speaker:Win is so good the best.
Speaker:I think every time you mention
Speaker:Bob Iger, the first thing that comes to my mind is just a bit outside.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That is true.
Speaker:Oh, all right.
Speaker:Well, all right, well, we'll bring it up from here, I think.
Speaker:I hope flex, we teased me in the show.
Speaker:You got a black guy, and I'm hoping you painted your nails over the weekend.
Speaker:What?
Speaker:What the fuck happened to you and how drunk were you?
Speaker:OK, so I did get pretty knackered.
Speaker:Um, but we went to I grabbed a couple of buddies,
Speaker:and we went to what is called sad summer fest.
Speaker:OK, it is a tour that now goes on
Speaker:because the Warped Tour doesn't
Speaker:make sense, you know?
Speaker:So like, the Warped Tour was, you know, all these emo screamo,
Speaker:you know, punk rock bands.
Speaker:And since that's not going on anymore, there's been this small
Speaker:revolution, if you want to put it that way.
Speaker:It started like two years ago, and there was like four bands that did it.
Speaker:And now two years ago, there was like eight or nine bands that
Speaker:participated in it.
Speaker:So we're just not now.
Speaker:I'm hoping next year two years from now that that doubles again and it gets bigger
Speaker:and it'll be able to be held in like bigger venues
Speaker:and just kind of bring back that whole Warped Tour atmosphere
Speaker:that everybody, you know, knows and loves because that shit was just the best.
Speaker:But alas, so I grabbed my buddies
Speaker:and figured why not just get emo to dress
Speaker:kind of goofy and by kind of goofy, I mean pretty fuckin goofy.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And we did by a couple of my buddies had the short shorts on.
Speaker:Another buddy of mine dressed completely nineties.
Speaker:I was, you know, looked like an idiot myself
Speaker:and the main band I went to see is called Mayday Parade.
Speaker:Oh, I've heard of them.
Speaker:Yeah, they've been around since like 2011 or 12 or something like that.
Speaker:And just really, really big band for me the done a lot for me in my life and
Speaker:I was,
Speaker:you know, having a really good time dancing, moshing, crowd
Speaker:surfing to their show and we get done with it.
Speaker:They put on an awesome performance and we go outside
Speaker:to kind of take a breather because it was probably like 120 degrees
Speaker:in like where we were dancing.
Speaker:Where is the studio right now? Yeah.
Speaker:And we were talking with some people, some friends,
Speaker:my buddies and this dude looks at me and he goes,
Speaker:What happened to your eye?
Speaker:And I was like, What are you talking about?
Speaker:Because it looks like you got punched in the eye.
Speaker:And I said, It doesn't, it didn't feel like I got punched in the eye.
Speaker:My eye felt normal.
Speaker:There is nothing wrong with my eye.
Speaker:And then everybody else started peeking at my eye and they got you got
Speaker:punched in the eye.
Speaker:I was like, well, that's weird because it doesn't feel like it.
Speaker:I don't notice it. Nothing.
Speaker:Nothing is different.
Speaker:You guys are full of shit.
Speaker:You're full of shit.
Speaker:So even pulled out my phone, I'm like trying to look at my camera
Speaker:and I'm like, Oh, it looks, I don't know, maybe a little tinted, but nothing bad.
Speaker:And then we went to the second last band playing.
Speaker:We went in there mosh pit, and in during the second song,
Speaker:I got hit in the exact same spot where I got a phantom hit.
Speaker:And let me tell you, I noticed that big time,
Speaker:but again, it hurt initially,
Speaker:and then it didn't really hurt until after the show.
Speaker:We're driving home and I'm just like, Oh, my God, my fucking eye hurts.
Speaker:So I get home, get some water, get some ice on my eye.
Speaker:And again, I'm looking in the mirror, it looks OK.
Speaker:And then I woke up 4 hours later and it was completely fucking black.
Speaker:It's like the first black I've ever gotten in my life and really yeah.
Speaker:And I don't even know how it actually happened.
Speaker:That's.
Speaker:What did your wife say?
Speaker:That's all I want to know.
Speaker:Do you want me to do it?
Speaker:And like the voice that I imitate my wife in.
Speaker:Yes, please.
Speaker:You're what?
Speaker:Do you do it? You're a 34 year old dad.
Speaker:What do you what do you do?
Speaker:It must be the crowd servant.
Speaker:You need to act like a normal human being.
Speaker:That's what I was hoping for, basically.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker:That was yeah. In a nutshell, that's what it was.
Speaker:I expected your wife to say something like, Now call me that again or something.
Speaker:I was over.
Speaker:I was hoping she would think it was, like, hot and tough.
Speaker:You know, it's like, oh, I'll tell you what.
Speaker:I can't fix or build anything you know?
Speaker:I'm not like that kind of man. Sure.
Speaker:But it's like I can, you know, throw down in a mosh pit and I can stop.
Speaker:And but as.
Speaker:Americans yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker:Like, I can me like, I can do some other manly shit and be kind of tough and.
Speaker:Yeah, you know, I got the.
Speaker:Complete opposite.
Speaker:Reaction.
Speaker:If only you could have convinced her that somebody called her a name or something.
Speaker:And you're fighting for her honor.
Speaker:For her honor.
Speaker:She I have no white knight.
Speaker:Well.
Speaker:I love how you were hoping
Speaker:that she would think you were, like, some sexy beast
Speaker:who got in a fight when you don't even know how you fucking got it.
Speaker:No, I have no idea. Right.
Speaker:So you know what's sexy about that?
Speaker:You should have been like, oh, this guy came up and blah, blah, blah.
Speaker:I don't know if.
Speaker:Maybe, just maybe just the look of it is what looks tough.
Speaker:It's like oh, he's.
Speaker:He's got a black guy. That's tough.
Speaker:Yeah. Oh, man, don't fuck with that guy.
Speaker:Yeah, that's like. That's like measuring dicks.
Speaker:Only guys actually care about that. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker:Yeah, it's important.
Speaker:Like, we we hope and think women care that they don't just like.
Speaker:Yeah, you don't care about your fucking black guy.
Speaker:You're an idiot, Dad.
Speaker:Who should act like a normal human?
Speaker:So the problem is, too, it's not even like a tough looking black guy.
Speaker:It's like a pretty black guy.
Speaker:We're like, you look at me, and it actually looks like I'm wearing makeup.
Speaker:Yeah, well, you're pretty, so it's.
Speaker:Oh, my gosh. Well, thank you so much.
Speaker:It's like when Shawn Michaels gets a black guy, you know, the Heartbreak Kid.
Speaker:It just.
Speaker:It's so pretty.
Speaker:He's. He's for the heartbreak. Yeah.
Speaker:Or he used to be.
Speaker:Now he's weird and bald and doesn't make sense.
Speaker:And now he's got the money.
Speaker:He's got the monkey.
Speaker:But yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, the monkey boy.
Speaker:Show which way he's looking anymore.
Speaker:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker:That fool got real cross-eyed
Speaker:undertaker not only ended his career, but also ended his normal eyesight,
Speaker:ended his peripheral vision.
Speaker:So did you paint your nails? Oh, the nails.
Speaker:I never painted my nails.
Speaker:Oh, not even my nails for of.
Speaker:Not even when I used to be super emo.
Speaker:Oh. That's too bad.
Speaker:I got a lot of compliments on mine at emo fest.
Speaker:Well, then you must have done a really great job.
Speaker:The wife did a great. Job, which was always.
Speaker:It was super weird.
Speaker:She's like, All right, well, I'll paint them now. I'm like, this is.
Speaker:This is not something that I ever want to hear you say ever again.
Speaker:Unless she liked it.
Speaker:Well, here, I shouldn't even share.
Speaker:This is the most embarrassing part.
Speaker:She did it and then, like, one of the colors she used
Speaker:was, like, old and, like, didn't stick well or whatever.
Speaker:And so I woke up the next is the night before I got the next one,
Speaker:I was like, fuck, this one's all jacked up.
Speaker:So I got the apology and I fixed it.
Speaker:I was like, wow, it looks even better now that I've fixed it.
Speaker:Then when she did it, like, this is not something I'm proud of.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So anyhow, all right, let's
Speaker:let's answer what's probably the most important question
Speaker:of the night.
Speaker:What is. It.
Speaker:Well, I will let the people wait no further.
Speaker:Today I
Speaker:am drinking because I got completely sucked into this.
Speaker:Cannot
Speaker:Goon Platoon by director brewing company.
Speaker:It is a double IPA and it is brewed with
Speaker:Citra Belmont and NH, Z100 seven hops.
Speaker:It has a nine all right.
Speaker:It has 4.13 collective on untapped
Speaker:not a ton of check ins, but enough for a decent score.
Speaker:And it reads Goon Platoon is brewed with oats and loaded up
Speaker:with Sicher Belmont and an HD one on seven hops for a super
Speaker:balanced flavor with notes of kiwi guava and strawberry candy. Mm.
Speaker:As we sniff this bad boy
Speaker:definitely get tons of strawberry.
Speaker:I love Belmont Hops because of the strawberry.
Speaker:The heavy strawberry notes that it carries.
Speaker:And I don't know if it is just a rare hop or an expensive hop, but it is.
Speaker:It's used sparingly.
Speaker:And every time I see a beer with it, I really, really enjoy it.
Speaker:Like, especially when Mr.
Speaker:Arbitrary Notes come out so we, you know, warm up the old tongue jobber here.
Speaker:Oh, this is how we get all the listens, my rewards of that tongue jabber.
Speaker:And again, it's it's a director,
Speaker:so it's got that great soft mouthfeel carbonation is
Speaker:low, but it's there. And
Speaker:again, you get
Speaker:I don't taste any Kiwi at all, but it's heavy strawberry a little bit of the guava
Speaker:super, super touch of bitterness on the end.
Speaker:8% obvs is super good
Speaker:beer 1999 for four pack. My.
Speaker:8% but the canard I showed
Speaker:you is just ridiculous.
Speaker:So I feel like you're hitting on two of the three.
Speaker:Definitely hitting on to Hillary and the fact
Speaker:that it tastes so good which you don't know before you buy it.
Speaker:I really lucked out with that.
Speaker:So I would say this this beer is flex approved it's not 100%
Speaker:fitting the algorithm, but it is 100% flex approved
Speaker:plus it's got some gnarly lacing going on here.
Speaker:You got you love that sexy.
Speaker:You know I love the circulation.
Speaker:I know that Drecker got pretty hype for a while,
Speaker:but if there's one thing you can say about Drecker is, you know,
Speaker:like especially with their faces, like the quality's always coming through.
Speaker:Like I've never had a bad hazy from Drecker.
Speaker:I've had one.
Speaker:Oh, OK. Well, I stand corrected, but not.
Speaker:Everybody.
Speaker:I mean one I mean one beer out of
Speaker:however many they've been brewing.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You know, and they drop anywhere from four to seven a week.
Speaker:Yeah. They're always dropping. Shit. Yeah.
Speaker:So, I mean, with the amount of production that they do and the stuff
Speaker:that they send out, I would say if you get one bad beer, it's
Speaker:you're doing a pretty damn good job.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know, I've had one of their one or two of their sours not travel
Speaker:so well, but I've never seen anything bad from their, their hoppy selections.
Speaker:So cheers to Director super consistent,
Speaker:that is for sure.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Maui Brewing, you know, they were the runners
Speaker:up in the purchase of modern times and they have officially said.
Speaker:Yeah. We'll buy it.
Speaker:So Maui is going to be taking over modern times.
Speaker:They expect the deal to close in late October.
Speaker:And then from there, they'll start rolling shit out.
Speaker:They're not going to immediately bring production over, but
Speaker:it's only a matter of time before they start producing Maui stuff stateside.
Speaker:I don't know if I read or heard this right,
Speaker:but then they have to, like, up their offer like quite a bit
Speaker:to to get modern times to agree.
Speaker:Oh, I didn't read that. I.
Speaker:I, maybe I read it wrong, but what I thought I read was
Speaker:that they almost had to double their offer to where I'm thinking why, but.
Speaker:Well, I, well, I don't remember that.
Speaker:So before the auction started, Maui
Speaker:was the first one to say, well, take modern times.
Speaker:And they put in a bid of I don't remember how much money.
Speaker:And then the bidding actually start like you needed.
Speaker:That was like a, you know, like a formality, like that needed to happen.
Speaker:Somebody needed to basically do a starting bid.
Speaker:So then the actual bid day came and Maui bid
Speaker:and they were the second highest behind Brewery Brewery X one.
Speaker:And then I'm pretty sure it was all for publicity because then they backed out.
Speaker:Super weird.
Speaker:And so then they went back to Maui.
Speaker:I didn't read anywhere that they had to up it from that.
Speaker:Maybe they upped it from their original I'm throwing my hat in the ring bid
Speaker:could be.
Speaker:And maybe my sources are.
Speaker:I may have to kill them. I don't know.
Speaker:I mean, if they're wrong, that just feels like the right thing to do.
Speaker:You have no choice.
Speaker:Zero choice. Right?
Speaker:You fool me once, you're fucking dead.
Speaker:That's right.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That's how the saying goes, right?
Speaker:Now, that's.
Speaker:A. Motto
Speaker:this should. Be a t. Shirt.
Speaker:Only once you're fucking dead.
Speaker:Modern modern times would have never had a problem
Speaker:if they would have served real meat anyway.
Speaker:So wait for that I.
Speaker:Just think if that cowboy burger had a cow in it, then a.
Speaker:Cowboy burger, my. Ass. Yeah. Yeah, that's.
Speaker:That was their first mistake. Cause they pissed me off. Yeah.
Speaker:And they went downhill after that.
Speaker:Oh, well, like, stone cold always says it's better to be pissed off
Speaker:than pissed on.
Speaker:Here you go. Yeah.
Speaker:So yeah, if that cowboy burger had a little cow in it, maybe.
Speaker:It. Lasted a little longer and.
Speaker:Oh, get off
Speaker:your ironic high horse and stop the vegan bullshit.
Speaker:OK, anyways, don't get me started.
Speaker:And then in more legal chit breweries, a judge has affirmed
Speaker:the $56 million jury verdict for stone brewing against Molson Coors.
Speaker:Wolzinger has tried to obviously get that thrown out.
Speaker:Judge says no.
Speaker:In fact, he said
Speaker:nice and he's he's affirming the 56th.
Speaker:We had a whole like half of episode where we didn't put any like selling
Speaker:cold drops or jokes or anything and now here here they just come flowing out you.
Speaker:Know that was supernatural too. Yeah.
Speaker:Oh thanks
Speaker:supernatural just like you're minus monastery.
Speaker:And then speaking of stone
Speaker:and Molson Coors, a judge has denied stones attempt to gain
Speaker:profits and damages as well as attorney fees from Molson cause
Speaker:they wanted to get an additional $116 million out of Molson Coors.
Speaker:Wow. Yeah. And the judge said.
Speaker:And so
Speaker:they said what?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:We want 116. What?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I said 116.
Speaker:What you hard of hearing
Speaker:so they're stuck with their their little $56 million suit.
Speaker:They're
Speaker:the hop growers union of the Czech Republic.
Speaker:I didn't knows the thing has named Firestone Walker brewmaster Matt Brindle
Speaker:said a night of the order of the hop which is apparently is
Speaker:an honor that is bestowed upon global beer industry luminaries.
Speaker:OK I want this fucking honorary oh yeah.
Speaker:Is there a patch I can buy that I can put on a jacket or something.
Speaker:It's a real fucking thing.
Speaker:Knight of the Order of the Hop.
Speaker:Jesus Christ.
Speaker:What higher honor is there than that?
Speaker:Yeah. You know what?
Speaker:Is there a description about?
Speaker:Like what that is. Dude?
Speaker:First of all, a knight or the order of the hop needs no description.
Speaker:Fair enough. How dare you?
Speaker:How do you question the night of the order?
Speaker:The hop also England.
Speaker:You can suck it with your whole knighthood thing.
Speaker:This is like 18 times better.
Speaker:It's actual.
Speaker:Royalty. Yeah.
Speaker:Imagine this guy going to England and running into it
Speaker:with the Knights in England, and he's like, Fuck you, dude, I'm
Speaker:this big hop, you know, then you need or hop.
Speaker:He walks up to the castle and like, Who do you think you are?
Speaker:No, no, no, no, no. No.
Speaker:Who do you think you are? Is burns it down?
Speaker:Yeah. Burn it. Sorry.
Speaker:And in an attempt to completely piss off flex
Speaker:I thought I'd announce that Goose Island has announced their 2020 to Bourbon
Speaker:County style lineup just ahead of their big 30th anniversary.
Speaker:You know, I'd seen this on the rundown and it made me grin
Speaker:a little bit because, you know, I knew you put it in just to piss me off.
Speaker:I did?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Because, hey, Goose Island but you.
Speaker:Where's the Mountain Dew Iced Tea?
Speaker:Beer? Yeah, like a.
Speaker:Where's your dog shit version of.
Speaker:Oh, that's all of them. Oh.
Speaker:Well, fun fact, Matt.
Speaker:Brendan, who is now a night of the order of the hop, started at Goose Island.
Speaker:Before they were big beer.
Speaker:Well, and look at it now.
Speaker:Mm. Yeah.
Speaker:Now is a night of the order of the hops.
Speaker:Yeah. Suck it, England.
Speaker:They should do a documentary on you.
Speaker:Get Goose Island. Dishes in the ass.
Speaker:I'll get Goose Island.
Speaker:We'll end it on the story that Vanessa sent to us
Speaker:that this is just, you know, this is Florida in a nutshell.
Speaker:Florida man arrested for DUI inside a Wal-Mart.
Speaker:A Florida man was arrested Sunday after he allegedly drove
Speaker:a motorized scooter and crashed into the shelves of a Wal-Mart store
Speaker:while drunk in Melbourne City, southeast of Orlando.
Speaker:The 39 year old, whose name has not been disclosed, was driving a Walmart
Speaker:scooter with his open backpack sitting in the basket
Speaker:in which an open bottle of Smirnoff Vodka was spotted.

Speaker:glassy eyes and smelled like alcohol.
Speaker:He is said to be unresponsive when asked to show his ID
Speaker:and had to be carried to patrol the vehicle on a stretcher.
Speaker:Oh gee, she is.
Speaker:Later, the scooter driver refused a breathalyzer test winning custody.
Speaker:Homie, I think you're past that point. Yes.
Speaker:Well, you know what, though?
Speaker:Like the the man, the myth, the legend said, man, don't trust anybody.
Speaker:You're right. That is true. You go.
Speaker:He was locked up in the Brevard County jail on charges of driving
