[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
