Welcome, everybody, to Craft Beer Republic.

Speaker:

Thanks for drinking.

Thanks for joining. I am Greg.

I'm being joined by the sexiest injury in all of the Midwest.

Speaker:

And that's Flex Me a black guy.

Speaker:

That's what's happening, bud.

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:

Welcome for the first time to this version of the show.

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:

she's like, it's about goddamn time.

Speaker:

Scott, come back.

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:

Gross. No I know.

Speaker:

Could you. Step it up just a smidge. Please?

Speaker:

Oh, sorry.

Speaker:

It's Florida.

Speaker:

Florida. It's very.

Speaker:

Classy. Is it gets in Florida.

Speaker:

That is extremely classy.

Speaker:

Melbourne police said that the offender had been swaying in the scooter

Speaker:

and hitting shells and almost ran over other customers in the aisles.

Speaker:

He was described by authorities as having

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

Speaker:

under the influence, disorderly intoxication, refusal

Speaker:

with prior citation and possession of an open and shitty container.

Speaker:

So thanks, Florida, keeping it classy.

Speaker:

Is this true that I heard.

Speaker:

That they Florida? Yeah, no kidding.

Speaker:

Once you became a permanent resident of Florida, you get a scooter?

Speaker:

I think so.

Speaker:

I think issues yeah, it's

Speaker:

a state issued scooter that they give you when you become a permanent resident.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

They even ask you, they just automatically put the handicapped placard on the back.

Speaker:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker:

It's a scooter.

Speaker:

You get a gator and a hand grenade. Yeah.

Speaker:

Oh, yeah. The hand grenade. Yeah, that's.

Speaker:

That's the Florida package. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker:

Welcome to Florida.

Speaker:

The Florida special. Welcome to Florida.

Speaker:

Your official.

Speaker:

Yeah, it sounds like a horrible drink.

Speaker:

By the way, the Florida Special.

Speaker:

No, thanks.

Speaker:

Sounds like a lot of sweat and a glass that's sort of.

Speaker:

Like a.

Speaker:

Lot. A lot of sweat.

Speaker:

And somehow firearms and yeah.

Speaker:

And wild animals.

Speaker:

That's Smirnoff Vodka. Oof! No, thanks.

Speaker:

Pass vodka makes the room spin, and Smirnoff Vodka just doubles it.

Speaker:

Just makes you puke.

Speaker:

That's what I'm saying.

Speaker:

And makes makes my bedroom spin.

Speaker:

And then puking out on milk.

Speaker:

He's got our back.

Speaker:

Speaker:

I could try and do that right now.

Speaker:

Speaker:

Uh. That is for certain.

Speaker:

Speaker:

I tell everybody to go find us on the socials.

Speaker:
