[intro music]

Welcome in, everybody, to the Craft Beer Republic Thanks for drinkin', thanks

for joinin' I

am Greg, and I am being joined by the caveman of the Midwest, and that's Flex

What's up,

buddy?

Hey, that coffee's really hittin' ya, man

Woo!

And welcome, everybody, to the main event

The main event that is the Craft Beer Republic

Yeah, that's right And we are your main attraction of the main event Follow

us on the socials

@CraftBeerRepublic, @FlexMeBeer, underscores, brother, in between It's gonna

be a lot of

brothers tonight

So much emphasis

So much on the underscores Like, don't forget the UNDERSCORES Anyways, sorry

All that

good stuff We got a lot to get to tonight I have a fresh new beer that I'm

excited to

talk about

Ooh!

Ooh! Sorry, I got a fresh new beer Beer, yeah!

I got a lot of booze news to get to We got a voicemail from the homie Chew

Your Beer

And I made something that I can't wait to tell everybody about in honor of Flex

Oh!

Yes

I almost wish you would have surprised me with this

Sorry I mean, it's not the most pod-friendly surprise We'll get to it We'll

get to it

Yeah, but it's still pretty neat I can't wait

I'm very excited for it So anyways, before we get any further, let me do a

little hydration

over here

I am drinking Fall Brewing Company in collaboration with Harland Brewing I

like a little can

art This is Conflict of Interest It is a West Coast IPA It is 666% Ooh,

right And

it has a 397 on untapped From the brewery, they say, "We placed a couple of

calls to

our friends over at Harland Beer to come brew with us After many a

conversations and no

ulterior motives whatsoever, we landed on a new age retro, clearly unfiltered

India

Pale Ale"

"Coming in at 666% ABV, we didn't only make a deal with Harland, if you catch

our drift,

we overloaded it with all sorts of hops like Citra Cryo, Citra Dyna Boost, New

Zealand

Cascade, Nectaron, bringing brilliant notes of juicy peach, red berries,

pineapple, tangerine,

and pine"

That was a lot That was like Stone wrote this

Yeah, red berries for like a West Coast That's wild

Yeah I mean, look at this thing It's definitely like an unfiltered Westie

Yeah It's a little foggy, but you can still kind of see it's-

Right I can see my hand coming through, but-

It's not hazy, right?

Exactly Not hazy On the Old Sniffer, the pine comes through Notice some of

that juiciness

like the peach It's a very interesting combination

Well, that's another one The peach on a West Coast, that's what blew my mind

Ooh, I'm

liking the tongue dropper here Oh, wow This drinks, I think the best way to

describe it

would be like a juicy IPA You get the fruit and the juice There's that word

again Take

a shot And the juiciness of a hazy, but its finish is very dry and a little

dank like

a Westie It's really like a best of both worlds situation

What's the bitterness like on that?

It's more bitter, obviously, than a hazy would be No IBUs are listed, so I don

't know the

official bitterness, but you're definitely getting it, especially on the back

of the

dryness and the dank, you get some of that bittering with it too But real,

real crushable

666%

666, yeah

Honestly, it drinks like a slightly hazy pale ale It's so easy to go down The

dryness

helps

397 for a West Coast on untapped That's basically like a five, right? The Hay

es bros

didn't shit all over That's, that's pretty gnarly Yeah So this is good I

would definitely

drink this again I was lucky enough They had this at TJ's, at Trader Joe's,

no kidding Yeah Trader Joe's, they do a good job of two things One, having

some local

craft beer This is down in San Diego, so not too far from us And also my

favorite

thing is you can break apart the four and six packs all you want, and you can

just like

grab one can and go, go buy it if you want to try some

Okay See, our, our Trader Joe's, they don't, they have decent beer, but not

good enough

beer that would make me want to do that Oh, okay But their tortilla chips are

the best

tortilla chips I've ever had in my life The blue corn? Yeah, no, not the blue

corn It's

like the white bag with the blue writing on it Oh, okay And they're like hint

, not hint

of lime, but they have some lime I don't know They're the fucking best

The lime ones Yes So good Yeah Our Trader Joe's out here, they do a good

job with the,

the wine and the beer, having some local selections And, um, I always find,

you know, Enneagrin

at, even though Enneagrin's just down the street from me, but like, you know,

if I'm,

I'm at the grocery store, Oh, I need a, it's just, it's fun to see And it's

like, Oh,

Hey, I haven't had that in a while Yeah, yeah, exactly Or like these guys,

like fall

will drop something and all of a sudden it shows up at Trader Joe's and low

commitment,

you know, like, you know, perfect example I'm going to talk a little bit of

shit Brewery

X, Brewery X out here, they're the ones that like pretended to buy modern times

for five

minutes and then backed out Okay Um, some of their beer is really good and

some of it

leaves a little to be desired It's so, their beers are so hit and miss Like I

'll have

one where it's like, Oh my God, these guys fucking nailed it And then the next

one's

like, what happened here guys? Cause then it gets you excited to get that Yeah

You

know? Right And it's like, you, you not only did you make this and then

attempt to sell

us, you spent the time and money to put this in a can You must've had a quota

to beat

Oh yeah 100% Yeah But the nice thing is they always have brewery X at TJ's

so I can

just get a can and it's not a big commitment So awesome Yeah What else I

like about Harland?

I like their logo It's just a really neat looking H Yeah Erica has a hat and

every

time she posts it, I comment on it How much I like her hat You're, you're a

hat guy

I love hats, but I also refuse to buy like brewery hats of beer, like breweries

I've

ever had before Sure Same So I, I like the hat so much It's not like I can

even

go to like if they had like an online shop and be like, Hey Harlan, I like your

hat

I'm going to buy it Right But yeah, really cool logo Really cool hat It's

kind of like

going, it's like buying a concert T for a concert you didn't go to Right You

know,

it's one thing to have a band T, but to have like something from that tour, you

know, it's

like a tour shirt for, yeah Union tour '04 Like, Oh, which one were you at?

Oh, none

of them Yeah, girl Yeah No, I just like the shirt It's just cool Sure

Never even

seen them in live actually Yeah It's weird Super poser Right Exactly So

anyways, uh,

this one's delicious Conflict of interest Go find it It doesn't drink like a

West

I should have had my wife try this That's the ultimate test of, does it drink

like a

Westie or not? Brad's sleeping right now I think so She's sleeping off that

two beer

buzz Yeah Nothing, nothing worse than having two Was this before the show or

during the

show when I mentioned this? Uh, it was before the show Yeah We were flexing

I were talking

before we started rolling and I, my friend was in town and her kid was having

his birthday

You said best friend, best friend, best friend Okay She listened She needs

to know She

does need to know And, um, kid's birthday So he went over for a little bit

before we

recorded and did the worst thing ever as an adult, which is you have like two

beers and

then stop drinking for a couple hours and just fucking fall asleep, man 99 It

's the,

it's the absolute pits Yeah Didn't happen when I was 24 drink and stop and

drink and

stop And now that I'm 28, it's a real problem Oof Anywho A shout out to our

top listening

city last week, which was again, Pennington, New Jersey, man These New Jersey,

New Jersey

loves us Yeah Love the people Hate the laws Yeah Like guy's a dick Yeah

What's

his name? Phil Fuck you Phil No, I don't like him so much I don't even

remember his

name Smart That was a smart way to do it Uh, all right I teased it before I

created

something for flex In fact, I was inspired by intern Brian to make this He

hit me up

He has a couple of trillion beers that he got his hands on It was like, Hey,

you, you

want me to save a can or two for you? And I was like, dude, that would be dope

as fuck

Thank you very much And I would love to share those with ridiculously

expensive beers, by

the way That's what started this And he goes, yeah, they don't quite fit the

algorithm

So I said, uh, less than $25 a four pack And I think one of them was like 28

and the

other one was 31 for a four pack That's not far off from what they sell them

Yeah I mean, it seems like there's expensive no matter where you're like 24,

99, 25, 99,

27, 99 Yeah And so he, you know, he obviously said doesn't fit the algorithm

We started

with the algorithm I thought, I wonder if I can make a real algorithm So with

a few

hours of my time and some assistance from chat GPT, I made the flex Should I

buy this

beer or not algorithm? It takes into account can art price and ABV, the three

pillars of

flexes algorithm So how do you do the can art again? Cause I did click on the

link

Okay So when you go to the link, so anyways, it's craft your pokecom/algorith

m If you

guys want to check it out, it's it's there, please check it out It's not on

the website

Like you have to go to thatcom Oh, it's like a separate Okay It's it's

hidden right

now Cause I, it's still sort of in beta It's still kind of ugly I haven't

made it

look pretty yet, but the math is finally working It seems like, so you guys go

check it out

Let me know if it actually works Um, craft your boatcom/algorithm Anyways,

you rate

your beer, uh, on can art zero to one to 10, zero to 10, something like that

And then

you put in what the price is for a four pack And if you only buy one can just

multiply

it by four, please don't make this harder on me And, uh, then you also put in

what

the ABV is And I've set up the algorithm in short, the artwork is worth up to

30 points

The ABV is worth up to 30 points and the artwork, excuse me, the price is worth

up to 40 points

I put a little more weight on the price Cause I feel like you're a little more

price heavy

I think that's exactly what I do So, uh, anyways, there's some math equations

that

happen behind the scenes when you put in your rating and your prices and your

ABV and all

that And then I, uh, had chat GPT make some images that based on whatever

score you get,

you get a very like Midwest slash Wisconsin image Like one of the, one of the

ones I

remember is like not good throw back in the old lake Um, another one is a not

good enough

to put on my polka playlist That's super Midwest I forget what the good ones

are

I feel seen right now So anyways, uh, you get a little image and if you put in

your

email address, like it'll send you your, your score after the fact, and then I

'll spam the

shit out of you for the rest of your life So, um, if you guys are bored, go

check it

out, craft your publiccom/algorithm and you can be in the store You can just

be putting

in that shit and it would tell you right there is flex going to buy this or not

So yeah,

it's good times Why should I worry about planning for my trip? Like my wife

told me

to when I could be making flexes algorithm once and for all, I think this is so

genius

and so brilliant And it's like, it's not even my birthday It's a late

birthday present

Like this is amazing And so after I came up with it, like I sent it back to

interim,

Brian was like, all right, this inspired me I said, go give it a try And he

tried it

He's basically my beta testers Like he goes, I would do this a little

differently And

the math on this was kind of weird And so like, I totally reworked it again

and we got

it going a little bit better And so, yeah, it's good I'm so dumb Okay I

just did the

current beer I'm doing now Oh, does it fit the algorithm? Um, I don't know

Cause I lost

it already Oh, found it Oh, okay Well, I guess I'll share it in a little bit

Yeah

It'll be fun Share a little bit when we talk about the beer So, uh, go check

it out Anyways,

speaking of beer, doing any, uh, good research lately Oh my God I'm trying to

think, um,

not too much research Okay But, uh, so there's a Thursday night football game

on this past

week as most Thursdays are in the NFL season And I had no, I had no beer in

the house

I've been trying really hard to control my urges God And I said, man, I

really need

some beer Uh, my local grocery store is terrible They have a terrible

selection of beer, which

is mind-blowing It's a bummer because other stores of the same company that I

've seen

or worked at carry better selections So I'm not sure why this one is that

store specifically,

right? It's just so like dwindled down, believe it or not, there was a 12 pack

of hazy little

thing Oh, it was on sale for like three bucks off the 12 pack What a really

good, decent

beer Like a French beer Yeah Yeah Yeah I mean, it's solid Like 100%

completely

underrated I agree And, uh, that I had like five of them that night And I

tell you what,

it's like seven and a half percent No, it's 67 Okay But still, yeah, you

have enough

of those, right It'll add up Right And I tell you what, if I would've had a

six,

we might've had a little bit of an issue Um, but man, like they just go down

so well

Yeah, they really do That is, you know, out here it's a little more everywhere

Cause

it's Sierra Nevada, California A lot of times when you go to like the bars

that have a shit

beer selection, the ones that used to at least have a Sierra Nevada pale on tap

nowadays,

they always have hazel thing on tap It seems like So that is a solid go-to

for me I'll

just be at some shitty bars Like, Oh, you got a hazel thing Yeah I'll drink

the shit

out of that That is nothing wrong with that beer And what kind of like what

sparked my

mind like a thought in my mind was this beer tastes better than half of the

beers that

claim they're hazy IPA Yeah And they aren't Yeah It's true Like it is It

's that I don't

want to say it is that good there I'll say it's that good It's an extremely

solid, very

able to be your go-to beer If you're at a place that doesn't have a great beer

selection

Um, yeah, there's nothing wrong with it I didn't feel bad about buying it

either Like

a 12 pack craft beer, you know, it was like 1799 or something like that Right

Yeah

Less than two bucks a can Yeah Can't go wrong Yeah I will say I recently

tried there

I think it's called like cool little thing I don't know if you've seen those

cans Orange

can No, it was like blue and aqua I think I'd never seen it before I picked

it up earlier

this week and I thought, Oh, I like hazel thing Let's see if cool things good

And

I thought it was gonna be a cold IPA It's not, it's just an IPA with all cryo

and it's

supposed to be hazy It was clear as fuck No And it just, it was fine It was

just

nothing good I was like, man, really slapping a name on something and hoping

that'll carry

you Right So, I mean, so the orange can, I just remembered is juicy little

thing Okay

I have not had that one Uh, but they do have a cosmic everything I think it's

called cosmic

everything or cosmic little thing One of those sounds familiar ish It's a

black can

This is a newer variety for them Uh, that one to me is just like, uh, it's an

IPA Okay

If you see, I think it's a pink can, a wild little thing That's a sour, right?

Yeah

Yeah So that one's pretty All right That's a pretty great summer That is a

pretty all

right beer Yeah Like anytime we see that we're heading up to the Lake or we

're going

to a pool party or something, a couple of sixers of those that was in their, uh

, their

Costco pack a couple of years ago It was, uh, the wild little thing, the hazy

little

thing And then the, uh, what's the nine and a half or, Oh, it's like double

little thing

or some big, big, big little thing Hazy big thing or something Yeah Yeah

And it had

that in it So that's a good multi-pack It was a super solid multi-pack Yeah

That's

pretty solid I didn't hate it And my wife bought it for me too, which made it

even better,

right? It could have been garbage Like, honey, I love it Right I, you know,

best beer I've

ever had That's like when my mom bought me that beer for my birthday and a

couple of

weeks later I saw her and she was like, Oh, how are those beers? So good I

said, one

was actually pretty decent And I said, and one was almost a year old and she

was, you

know, she was very apologetic about it And, uh, I said, look, I said to normal

people,

it's not like first thought to, Hey, check the born on date or check, you know,

if it

has a best by date Uh, but yeah, she was, uh, I let her off lightly Right No

, people

don't know shit on the bottom of this can Like people aren't snobs Yeah The

one I'm

drinking is, uh, from August 6th Not bad Yeah I think, uh, let's see if this

one has

a, not the beer I'm drinking No date, maybe on a different can Oh, there you

go But

it's all small batch So, you know, it can't be too old Fingers crossed Well,

speaking

of small batch, speaking of the beer you're drinking, speaking of the algorithm

, let's

fucking ask the question in a world where craft beer is King, a world where

muscles

are bigger than growlers Only one tongue can guide us One man, one tongue,

one tongue

jobber In this world, we must find out what is flex drinking Okay So today

as I need to clear my throat Uh, the cashmere sweater from 1840 brewing

company I'm hard

I knew you would be Um, I had these guys, I don't know, a month or so ago with

our anniversary

IPA Yeah That was the seven hops for seven years So this is a double IPA

Seven C's

Yes, it was You're so smart Let me go What a memory Um, so this one is a

double IPA

It is hop bursted and then double dry hopped And it is all cashmere hops is

hop bursted

and double dry hop with Michigan grown Cashmere hops, hop bursting, or adding

all hops after

the boil is a technique that maximizes hop flavor and aroma while adding little

bitterness

I don't know It's raining hops here They, uh, recently added more hops to it

So I'm

on untapped This has 32 thousand or 32 Yeah A thousand That's how you say

it Ratings

420 It's a banger Uh, the can says, look for notes of apricot, orange marmal

ade, overripe

melon and canned peaches Apricot We'll have that discussion another day So

before I drink

all this beer, cause I almost drank all of it already This color is phenomenal

Oh yeah

It is pale straw yellow Um, it's hazy You can't see through it It's my

special super

bowl 31 glass Packers beat the Patriots, all the lacing I don't know if you

could

see all that lacing on there Very, very sexy, very sexy This beer, I've had

it multiple

times before And the reason I bought it is because 1840 recently started can

ning their

beers in the last, I'd say four or five months, maybe six months So they used

to do the stubby

bottles, right? I like those things Super duper expensive per bottle I'm sure

packs of cans way cheaper Oh, so we'll start here These bottles of cashmere

sweater used

to run like something like $10 a bottle Jesus for a 16 ounce bottle This four

pack 1599

Okay Fucking steal Much better Um, so after those details, now we'll get

more into this,

the beer itself, right on the schnoz There's a wicked amount of Apricot,

little bit of

that orange marmalade, but it's, it is a lot of that overpowering Apricot scent

, which

is delicious Yeah I can make a candle out of that Warm up the old tongue Jab

ber Rooney

or the zilgen Jabber Oh fuck I gotta get that ready All right, here we go

Talk about

getting ready So this beer is so stupid It really is the pillowy softness of

this

beer It's like a, it's a dream It's like not even real The carbonation is

like low

to none, but it's just like just enough to like spritz on your tongue The Ap

ricot is

crazy present So much more of that orange marmalade comes through Um, not too

much,

a little bit of that melon, not too much of the peach, but this is just like a,

it is

a top notch beer Probably one of the best beers made in the state, if not the

best beer

that's made year round And now that it's not $10 a bottle, right? I'm happy to

say

that it fits my algorithm So the can is orange It's my favorite color And

the cashmere sweater

logo is a play on Seinfeld Oh, I love it So if you see the, I don't know if

you could

see that right now Um, so it's just, it's simple It's fun Um, their logo

itself is,

it's like a turtle That's a barrel I don't know if you could see that there

too Oh yeah

So it's just, uh, just a really simple, but well done can Um, I, so now we'll

get into

the algorithm, right? Yes, please Please So I rated this one to 10 can art I

did it

in eight Okay Right Cause it's nothing over the top It's just really well

done

It's, it's simple, but great The ABV is 8% so you can't go wrong, especially

at a what

price? $1599 for the four pack So we're looking at a $4 can of beer The

algorithm,

which I don't know if I agree with this, Oh, a 7401 out of a hundred Okay So

that's

not terrible No, it's not terrible Right Um, I would probably consider it

more of like

an 80 out of 10 I don't know what would get that there Here's the thing with

the algorithm

You can't think of it like in the traditional, like ABCDF, you know, we're like

90 and above

as an A and 80 and above as B it's not quite the same So I think anything over

an 85 gets

you top marks Okay And then I think anything over 70 to 85 or 84 is, you know

, next one

down Okay Well I, either way I would say it's a passing grade Um, it said,

uh, the

picture was funny It said pretty darn fast DA and it just has a bunch of

pictures of

beer and cheese and there's a fork and I don't know This is fun Yeah I'd say

people should

have a really good time with this Um, and then maybe rate the beer after as

well Like

say this one, you know, it was a 7401 out of a hundred Yeah I would probably

do like

a 90 out of a hundred after drinking it Like with how it tastes and whatnot

That's a good

idea to add to it I should put a thing in there for you to put what you think

it deserves

out of a hundred versus the flex algorithm Yeah I like that idea And I don't

think

there's anything wrong with that because the algorithm essentially is grading

or judging

on if you should buy the beer Exactly Right It's not necessarily It's also

based on Wisconsin

pricing Wow I set the, here's what I did I set the baseline of a four pack

at $16

Okay That's pretty legit Yeah I figured, you know, four bucks a beer, that's

gotta

be pretty decently priced So if it goes lower than that, you know, if you're

at 12 bucks

a beer, high marks If you get into the twenties, you're dropping some points

I think that

works So I just did mine while you were talking I ran mine through the

algorithm I don't

remember the price I guessed at the price, but I got a decent, but won't make

the poker

playlist at about 63 What was it? Oh, 6365 So a little low on the flex

algorithm, but

I, in my heart, it's a little higher Also $16 four packs are a little rare out

here

in California Right Right That makes a lot of sense Yeah But I still like

it But

hey, this was fun Yeah, it was good stuff I hope people have a fun time with

it Go

try the algorithm, everybody I'm going to do it on everything I'm going to

bookmark

it Also, this will be a good way to see who can spell or not Algorithm Craft

yRepubliccom/algorithm

I nailed it Yeah Good job I always used to think there was a Y in algorithm

is not everybody You would think there should be It seems like there should

be Fun word,

fun letter Exactly So, and since I didn't have this ready earlier, there it

is Got

it All right Before we get onto a little bit of news here, let's check in

with the

homie Hello No one is available to take your call Please leave a message

after the

tone Yo, what's up homies? It's True Your Beer and yeah, I'm going to bring

back the

conversation of Taco Talk It's Taco Talk Wednesday So, you know, we have

functions,

we have birthday parties, hangouts or whatever And unfortunately, I'm always

the fucking

I'm the taco guy, homie I'm the one making the tacos I'm the making carne as

ada Greg,

you've seen it firsthand I'm the pozole guy So in my home, in my family, I'm

the taco

guy And unfortunately, I'm sick and tired of being the fucking taco guy I

want to hire

a white guy I love white people food, man Just like how you go to a Mexican

restaurant

and you smell the spices and the music, the tequila, the Mexican beers, the s

alsas, and

it makes your mouth water I know it's making your water mouth water because it

's kind of

making mine I want that My exotic food is white people food, man I think

they call

that you walk into that restaurant There's no music It's bland Nice and

quiet I don't

have people yelling in the background Just quiet All you hear is utensils

hitting their

plates, sipping your wine That's what I want, homie I want that life, homie

I want the

white people guy I want that guy to come to my house and make me meatloaf,

roast beef,

lamb chops, stuffed cabbage, homie My neighbor's Polish and she brings me

plates of stuffed

cabbage It's so delicious Some weird sausage link with sauerkraut What the

fuck is sauerkraut?

I don't know, but it's good It's tangy and it's good I know it's cabbage It

's pickled

cabbage I love kimchi, so fuck it Italian food, my bad That's like Mexican

food, homie,

without hot sauce Lasagna, we make lasagna We just call it enchilada cassero

le, homie

It's just a little spicy It's red sauce, cheese, meat, layered, homie, but we

use tortillas

instead of pasta We fuck it up We're big on Chef Boyardee fans over here, hom

ie We

tear that shit up, homie Ravioli, homie Let's go If you got that white guy,

people

cart guy that can go to your house and make me that stuffed cabbage and that

roast beef

or that meatloaf or pot roast or what have you, homie, and that mashed potatoes

out of

an instant box, I want that I want that San Francisco street rice I want

that one

minute rice, that Uncle Ben rice, homie I don't want no Mexican fried rice

anymore,

homie I want that Uncle Ben, homie Give me some Uncle Ben I want to go to

your house

for stovetop, Greg I want to go to your house, and then we're going to go to

Flex's house

so I can have it twice, just like in the commercials, homie We're having stov

etop, homie Let's

go All right, homies, let's chew your beer That was Taco Talk, more like

white people

talk I love white people food I have to watch old Pisani

Maybe we should start like a white people food cart where we just do like smash

burgers

and mashed potatoes Right I do like the meatloaf idea I love a good meatloaf

Oh,

it's so good Showing our whiteness right now, but meatloaf, if made well, not

made

by like your mom who can't cook for shit, but if it's made well, it is so good

So my

favorite meatloaf that my wife ever did, it was actually, so you know how

usually covered

in like the ketchup sauce or like Worcestershire and ketchup She did it with a

barbecue sauce

instead of ketchup It was phenomenal So I've done two twists I've done the

barbecue,

loved it So good I've also done it with sriracha Interesting Was it too hot

? I mean,

my spice tolerance is through the roof So like to me, sriracha is not spicy

Oh, it's

really hot to me It's like, you know, it's got, it's like mild salsa to me S

riracha

like it's not that much I can pile it on Um, I like that one time the wife

and I got

creative and we made a bacon wrapped meatloaf Hey, I, I have seen that Yeah,

it was pretty

fun Good Not gonna lie How'd you get the bacon crispy around that? So that's

where

we fucked up Like we were like, Oh, we'll just like lattice the bacon and then

put the

meat in there and then shove it in the oven Right? Well, the problem was the

meat drippings

kept the bacon a little bit on crispy Right? And so afterwards we were like,

fuck, it's

still kind of soggy So we just heat up a pan and like plopped it out of the

loaf pan

and put it right on top to crisp up the bottom Okay Not how I intended on

doing it, but

it worked I wonder, by the way, I wonder if the weird sausage link he was

talking about

was just like a brat because that's usually like here in Wisconsin you have a

brat you

like top of a sauerkraut So right, exactly I was a little sour Okay, here's

my weird

thing I like my brats with barbecue sauce I don't hate that I don't hate it

I feel

so weird and like naughty when I do it Cause I'm like, this is, I think I, any

German is

like about ready to stab me Well, that's like how you're not supposed to put

ketchup

on a hamburger technically, but I fucking love ketchup on a hamburger Oh, I

don't do

ketchup anymore I kinda not a ketchup fan really Ketchup on hamburgers It's

different

for me Like I don't even eat, I don't even need ketchup for my French fries

Nope Ranch

ranch or barbecue sauce So, but something about burgers and ketchup, it just

goes so

well Oh, something about barbecue sauce and brats I fucking love it So at

the shop we

do actually honey barbecue brats Oh, I'm in So it's like the seasoning is

already

in there It smells just like barbecue sauce They're fucking delicious Can I,

can I pitch

something for the shop? What? Hot honey barbecue brat That would be great, but

hot honey is

so expensive Oh, is it? Oh, have you not looked at like, what is it? There's

that like

Mike's hot honey or something like that I never buy that shit Oh, it's in the

store

It's like $1499 for like a six ounce jar Oh, can you just make your own? Just

make,

get like honey and then put shit in it I don't know Can you? Oh, I have five

What?

How do you think Mike made it? He just bought honey and man put shit in and

made it hot

I don't know We could look into it Yeah Not a bad one I'm flying out there

for that

You let me know I'm flying out there We got the taco rats We got the honey

barbecue

We got the jalapeno cheddar Okay Taco Is that just taco seasoning? Um, they

do the

pimentos, they do the black olives We got shredded cheddar cheese in there A

couple

other fixings That sounds more like an inch It's like a taco dip brought

Yeah That's

a seven layer dip brought Yeah Yeah But super good Super popular All right

That's

good Yeah That's like the whitest taco thing I've ever heard Black olives

Why you gotta

racist? It would be weird if they were green olives That would be a little

weird Yeah

Very Martini ask So, Hey Chu, I'm in man You want me to come over and make

some fucking

hamburgers and mashed potatoes Let's do this Flex Come on out Let's go cook

I would

put the mashed potatoes on my hamburger No joke I mean, growing up, my

favorite thing

as a kid, I'm, you know, everywhere else, I think it's called shepherd's pie,

but my

mom always called it mashed potato pie It's just, you know, ground beef,

vegetables, and

then mashed potatoes Isn't shepherd's pie like actually in like a pastry crust

though?

Or like, Oh, maybe this was not in a pastry crust Oh, that's not shepherd's

pie All

right It's gotta be the whitest fucking food ever I'm sure Chewwould jizz

himself, but

so fucking honky But, uh, dude, as a kid, that was like my, that was my jam I

loved

it Still like it I mean, I eat everything Like when I was a kid, I would, I

can use

kept like a mashed potato as a condiment Fuck Yes So like if my mom made

chicken

for dinner, I would cut up the chicken and scoop my mashed potatoes up with my

bit of

chicken and then eat it Yeah Um, pork chops, you know, whatever she made, it

was just fucking

dipped into the mashed potatoes And then the first time I went to Mexico, I

was so

afraid of eating and water and all of that Right Cause you know, I was 21 and

I had

no fucking clue Well, and we're all told like, do not drink the water You

will die

So the resort we were at, you know, they had a lunch buffet So my lunch and

dinner for

like three straight days consisted of French fries and mashed potatoes And I

would dip

my French fries in the mash potatoes and eat them like that It's like almost

cannibalism

Oh, I fucking love potatoes I love taters I would put mashed potatoes on a

baked potato

and top it with French fries and eat the shit out of that Yeah That doesn't

sound bad

It doesn't sound bad at all White as fuck, but it sounds pretty good All

right If you

guys got some taco and or super white people food shit to call in about, or Hey

, we're

a beer show calling about beer, 805-538-beer-2337 What do you think the whit

est person food

is? I don't know I thought mashed potato pie was pretty fucking white Um, I

mean hamburgers

and hot dogs to me are just white as fuck The first thing that crossed my mind

was hot

dogs Yeah And like, not even like grilling I really just like put it in the

microwave

for 20 seconds Oh, I know Like as a kid, I did that all the time That is the

whitest

shit to do So gross And like when, uh, my mom started boiling hot dogs when

we were

kids, that was like mind blowing how much you can cook, how much better the hot

dogs

were boiled for a couple of minutes than they were in the microwave And it

made him feel

a grilled one, right? That's 100% accurate Yeah Like forever Dodger dog

First of all,

I love all the old people They're like, Oh, Dodger dogs are the best It's

like Dodger

dogs are fucking garbage As a Dodger fan I've said this before, fucking

garbage are

their Dodger dogs And for years and years and years, it was all boiled hot

dogs, which

doesn't do them any favors Finally, they started grilling them, but only at

specific

locations in the stadium Come on So like, you'd have like Dodger dog sign

And then

the next one would be like Dodger dog grilled, like with the grilled over the

Dodger It's

like, why don't we fucking grill them all? Who's going to choose boiled? What

the fuck

is wrong with you? You have it grilled or boiled You're like, I'm going to go

with

a boiled I like my dog dipped in water Maybe the boiled will reach somebody's

nostalgia

like mine I don't know Maybe Sorry Sorry to shit on your hot dog nostalgia,

but I just,

it's not for me I need nothing beats a grilled hot dog Yeah It's the way it

's the way to

go So Dodgers get rid of the fucking boiled selection over there Jesus Christ

The only

way to eat a Dodger dog though, is to get one of the bacon wrapped ones

Because like

I said before, Dr Dogs are garbage It's not good Hot covered in bacon Yeah

Covered

in bacon to make it edible Like Costco hot dogs are better than Dodger dogs

They're

just not good Hot dogs I said it Okay There it is All right Let's do a

little

news quick Uh, first we've got a little news flight We haven't, uh, gotten

the paddles

out in a while He's flat lining Oh, I feel better Uh, till Ray, who has

purchased a

bunch of shit from Coors has closed Bunch of shit has closed on hop Valley

brewing Terrapin

beer Co and revolver brewing So three of the four they were going for, they

have now

officially closed on What was that first one at hop Valley? Hop Valley H O P

Not

very good You know, it's, yeah I had him at a baseball game once in Denver I

was at,

uh, was that Coors stadium? Like bubble stash Right I don't know, but I was

like, Oh, I've

never heard of this hop Valley before So I grabbed one, not knowing that it

wasn't

craft and not knowing what it was either I was like, Oh, this is not that

great No,

not that great And I looked it up later I was like, Oh, it's not even craft

So fine

Firestone Walker is releasing, you know, we have eight Oh five I heard like

one of the

biggest craft beers in California Right now they're releasing eight zero five,

which is

the N a version of eight Oh five Oh, hard pass Let me launch in 12 ounce can

six packs

in California, Arizona, and Nevada So you know where to not buy those launch

them in

gallon jugs for fuck's sake There's 0% Right Why do you need to have small

little cans?

Good Lord Put it in your faucet Not going to get drunk Waste of time Waste

of fucking

and more than a waste of time Waste of calories Waste of carbs Waste of

paying somebody to

brew it Yeah Just a complete waste Yeah You don't want to drink alcohol Go

grab a

fucking LaCroix or some shit That's some age, man Yeah Some big breaking

news in

the craft world craft Ohana, which is the owner of modern times is closing

their production

facility and they're going to move all modern times production over to Alesmith

and they'll

be cutting about 57 jobs This was, I could read all the details, but that's

the bulk

of it They're, they're closing down the modern times production facility They

're closing

down the attached tap room The other open tap rooms are going to stay open at

least

for now and all con all brewing is going to be contracted at Alesmith Alesmith

is a great

facility They're contract for a ton of people That's not the weird part The

weird part

is I thought part of why Maui brewing wanted to buy modern times was so they

could brew

stateside and not have to worry about the shipping Yeah, I know that was a

yeah Weird

Yeah So anyways, a normal point Loma location This article did go on to say

that Maui has

been brewing at the Colorado based Avery brewing facility for their stateside

offerings So

I guess modern times just wasn't ever able to get shit going I don't know It

's weird

That is really weird Yeah So, uh, more bad news for modern times in more bad

craft news,

weathered souls, which is the brewery behind the black is beautiful stout that

came out

a few years ago Uh, they have announced they'll be closing They posted on the

gram It's

hard to believe we're saying this, but after eight unforgettable years, weather

ed souls

will be closing its doors on September 22nd, but don't worry This isn't good

This isn't

a goodbye filled with sadness Instead It's a celebration of everything we've

accomplished

together They went on to say more, but I have to say, I'm not terribly

surprised I

know one of their big investors left or was trying to sell his part of it Um,

and then

Marcus who's the head brewer slash other investor was sort of on his way out

the door too So,

uh, not a huge surprise This is happening, but more, uh, more sad news in the

craft world

California is closing the door on hemp derived THC products And this means

beverages and

other things This does not mean gummies and whatever things you can get at

like a marrow

Joanna dispensary This is like the weird loophole where like some things could

have

a enough THC and to get you a little bit high, like legit THC or like the Delta

shit, the

Delta shit Okay Which apparently still a THC in it Um, citing concerns over

public

health, California governor Gavin Newsom proposed heavy restrictions last

Friday on quote intoxicating

hemp products I'm like an old white guy through an emergency regulation News

om proposed removing

food and beverage products containing hemp extract from stores within the

golden state

He said in a press release, we will not sit on our hands as drug peddlers

target our children

with dangerous and unregulated hemp products containing THC at our retail

stores Say what

you want about weed I don't think it's dangerous No, especially when you're

still selling alcohol

Exactly I mean, come on now And, and things that are full of high fructose

corn syrup

and whatever Right But Hey, this, this little trace of THC that might get you

a little high

This is dangerous He goes on to say, we're taking action to close loopholes

and increase

enforcement to prevent children from accessing these dangerous hemp and

cannabis products

Did he say that right before he went to eat his boiled hot dogs? Yeah And

drink is fucking

Coke with high fructose corn syrup and die number 86 or whatever's in there

The executive

order puts a very stringent regulations on hemp derived THC products, including

Delta

eight and Delta nine tetra hydro cannabinoid along with 30 new cannabinoids

added to the

state's list To me, this feels like, Hey, there's an election year coming up

would you outlaw it if it's an election year, especially in California? I don't

know Some

fucking mom groups got up his ass And so here he is outlawing shit Like I

said, it's

not like the big things like you want to go buy some weed gummies from the weed

store

You're good It's just all like the knockoff weed products Okay Yeah Really

interesting

When I first saw it, I was like, not my gummies Like with our trip coming up

Mama said life

was like a box of gummies You never know what high to expect I saw the wife

the other

day, like we're getting ready for this trip And I was like, fuck, how can we

be able to

bring her guys with us? We already gone for over a week The last time we were

gone for

a week anywhere was, was Colorado So we just, we got more coming Jesus Christ

Yeah You

just get more Yeah They throw them at you as you walk off the plane And, uh,

you know,

we're going for a week or so and it's like, um, uh, what are we going to do?

How am I

going to sleep at night? Well, remember the world cup was what in France and

they were

doing shits on a cocaine Oh, all right I'm not going to France, but uh, yeah

Oh no,

that was Oktoberfest last year That's full of cocaine Yeah So, I mean, that

can't be

too far away Yeah Yeah We'll see So, uh, hopefully I did read a bunch of

things like,

yes, weed is legal No, don't go into the stores as a tourist Like they'll

fuck you

So I'm like, Oh man, I just want to go get some sweet pea time gummies They'll

fuck

you Oh, okay Hard Okay Anyways So, uh, yeah, there's that Uh, let's, let

's end it

on this trip to Florida Shocker Yeah Drunk Florida man tries to shoot a tree

and hits

his neighbor's house instead Wait, tries to what? A tree? Shoot You know, gun

Yeah

Okay That's what I thought you said Just want to make sure Fuck the headline

really

covers this But, uh, the incident occurred Sunday in the land, about 40 miles

North of

Orlando where 38 year old Alex Kudleck fired multiple shots that struck a

neighboring mobile

home and a fence surrounding it According to the Volusia County Sheriff's

office, the

family inside the home, three adults, a seven year old and an infant had to

take cover and

call 9-1-1 Deputies got on the scene, evacuated the family from the house and

started searching

the area That's when they found Kudleck, an intoxicated neighbor on nearby

Virginia

Avenue who was shooting at a tree in his backyard Three shots went off And

then within seconds,

another 10 went off The window above my head was shattered Salvador Soteo

told the West

TV I was holding my newborn son basically like a football When I came out the

I called 9-1-1 and as I'm on the phone, I hear more shots By the time they got

here,

the officer heard another, another three shots Another resident said when

asked why he decided

to shoot the tree, Kudleck told deputies, I'm a dumb ass Come on Kudleck was

being

held on $17,000 bond is facing charges of shooting into a dwelling using a

firearm firearm

while under the influence, child endangerment and criminal mischief What do

people think?

Well, he's a dumb ass He doesn't think It blows my mind Yeah Oh, Hey, I'm

going to

shoot at that tree Here's the best part I watched the body cam footage for

the show

and I know what you're thinking You're thinking this dude is shooting at some

giant Oak tree

Yes That's exactly what crossed my mind Not in the slightest This thing was

young

and new and like three inches across It was a tiny fucking tree that he was

shooting at

Of course he was missing and hitting someone's house She wasn't even a real

fucking tree

Jeez Oh, this is very Florida Yeah That's dumb ass thing Very such a

fucking dumb

I did see one of the Florida reports that came out from after this weekend or

last weekend

and it said Florida man scores touchdown after being arrested before game Oh

yeah And I

just thought that was really funny That was, um, Tyreek, right? Yep Yes, it

was Yeah

Tyreek Hill It was like, where else would that body cam footage to that? That

made me

feel uncomfortable Yeah, that was dicey Yeah There's some cops on

administrative

leave right now So yeah Well they said it was like he had like six counts of,

uh, aggressive

force or something like that Oh really? Yeah That officer Yeah Yeah It was

a little

unnecessary It was like you said, that was uncomfortable to watch Yeah It
