1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,660 Oh my god, as believable as Mrs. Doubtfire and almost as sexy. 2 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:24,640 Welcome everybody, it's the Craft Beer Republic. Thanks for drink- wow, thanks for drinking, thanks for joining. 3 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:34,180 It's already started. It's already begun. I am Greg, sitting across from me is the hottest mustache in all of Midwest, and that is Flex. 4 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:51,980 You know, mustaches are super underrated, and I think everybody should have one at least two months out of the year. Two months? Why two months? Just give enough time for people to respect and acknowledge the stache. So basically like once everybody's seen it, you can shave it off? 5 00:00:52,440 --> 00:01:00,100 Well, once everybody's like okay with it. Oh, okay. And then when you finally shave it off, then everybody starts questioning where did the mustache go? 6 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,940 Once you convince your wife not to try and divorce you over it, then it's time to shave it. 7 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:14,180 And it doesn't even have to be a good one. You know, one time in life, my wife said she would never have sex with me when I had a mustache. Let me just tell you, I've proved that wrong. 8 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,720 At least once. At least once. And never again. 9 00:01:17,980 --> 00:01:22,020 Yeah, so, girl mustaches. Yeah, wives love it. 10 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:39,220 2024, girl mustache. Yeah, break and flex, 24. We got staches. Who wants a mustache ride? We would so win. We absolutely would. And bringing up the campaign trail is our campaign manager and fitness guru, that is 11 00:01:39,220 --> 00:01:45,440 Scott. Okay, I'm up. I'm up. Okay. Please wake up. No mustache for you though. 12 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,100 No, no. 13 00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:47,240 We'll work on it. 14 00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:50,060 My wife told me one time that she would never have sex with me. 15 00:01:50,520 --> 00:02:08,000 End of sentence. That was right before the wedding. Here they are. Nailed it, but not literally. And she doesn't like. She's a woman of her word. Yeah, she is. Thank you all for hanging. 16 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:22,840 Thanks for listening. Don't forget craftbeerrepublic.com, at craftbeerrepublic, at flexmeabeer, underscores in between. And as we discovered last week, Scott's somewhere on the grams. Good luck finding him. Maybe like a free sticker to whoever finds him first or something. I can't even find myself. 17 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,260 Yeah. So if you find me, let me know. Yeah. 18 00:02:26,460 --> 00:02:34,240 Let him know if you find his account. I'm sure his password's like password123 or something. Oh, that's right. There you go. There. 19 00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:36,880 That sounds familiar. We're halfway there. 20 00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:39,580 I was hitting 123 password, but I didn't see the way around. 21 00:02:39,740 --> 00:02:49,820 You fucked up again. And thanks for our top listing city of last week, which was Moravia, New York. I don't know where that is, but hi, Moravia, New York. 22 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:50,320 23 00:02:50,980 --> 00:02:53,340 Maybe we'll visit. Maybe. 24 00:02:53,460 --> 00:02:54,520 Make it part of our world tour? 25 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,440 Yeah. Stop in Moravia on our way to Finland? I don't know. I was just going to say, it's Finland or bust. 26 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:20,820 Yeah, exactly. Maybe the bus can stop in Moravia before it drives across the Atlantic. I think you could do that. Yeah. I don't see why not. All right. Lots to get to tonight. We have got some beers to drink. We've got free beer to talk about, the fastest growing brewery, and a guy who got so drunk, 27 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:23,320 he forgot he had a car and gave it to a stranger. 28 00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:40,420 You know, one time I got so drunk that I was leaving a party to go meet my wife before she was my wife, and I put the key in the door back when keys still unlock doors. That was a long time ago. And it wasn't unlocking, and I couldn't figure out what the fuck was going on until I realized, 29 00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:42,980 Hey, idiot, this isn't your fucking car. 30 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,820 Did you then drive home? 31 00:03:47,460 --> 00:04:04,340 I mean, so like, long story short, the party I was at was three minutes from my house, which was essentially like four streets from my house. There's just a stoplight in between that, you know, made it seem longer. 32 00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:10,780 And then my buddy met me at my house and drove me downtown. And fun times were had after that. 33 00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,080 So more drinking happened. Oh, oh yeah. Yeah. Fantastic. 34 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:29,240 I was 21. That was a long time ago. Sounds like you needed it, though. Definitely. Yeah. Rough time in the old flexi life. Rough time. That was a gold star night. 35 00:04:30,580 --> 00:04:35,860 Okay. Well, speaking of flexi drinking, let's see what it is that flexi is drinking. 36 00:04:35,860 --> 00:04:56,620 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 flexi drinking. 37 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,120 You know, I already miss like the slowed down suspenseful version. 38 00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:03,760 Oh, you got mad at me last time I played it. 39 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:15,440 I didn't get mad. It's just so ridiculous. It's like- Almost a minute. You're mad, but it's so fucking funny and you just want it to get to the point, but it's just taking so long. 40 00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:17,180 You look thirsty. I didn't want to play it. 41 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:27,640 It's brilliant. Well, anyway, today I picked up some Maplewood Brewing. They're like out of close to Chicago. I don't know where exactly. 42 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:28,080 43 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,420 No, no, it is Chicago. I'm a liar. 44 00:05:30,940 --> 00:05:32,680 It's so close, it's in. Yeah. 45 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:48,800 Been there. So this is Sidewalk Surfer, a double India pale ale, and it's an 8% ABV. 46 00:05:49,380 --> 00:06:07,300 Untapped has it rated at a 3.98 out of 2.7 thousand rating. So let's bump that up. Let's get that to an even four, I think. And pretty easy description here. Sidewalk Surfer, which I've already told you. India pale ale, which I already told you. 47 00:06:07,820 --> 00:06:24,880 8% ABV again, which I already told you. Yeah. And it goes on to say it is a West Coast style IPA brewed with hand-selected strata mosaic and Chinook hops. Super peachy, resinous, and tropical. 48 00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:40,820 Sounds peachy. At Peachy Keen is my empty beer can full on my laptop. Don't pull a Dan. It says it's super peachy. Let's find out. Dig in. Okay, on the nose it's super peachy. I'm not even lying. 49 00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:54,420 You stick your schnoz right in there. It's like the schnozberries taste like schnozberries. This is 100% peachy on the aroma. And like candied peaches too. This is delicious. So now we warm up. 50 00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:06,320 And we dive in. I picture that as like instead of the NBC do do do, it's just you. 51 00:07:06,580 --> 00:07:22,640 That's pretty good. Dude, this beer doesn't lie. Super peachy. I don't even taste tropical and I don't even care to. It is like 100% peachy, resin, West Coast. 52 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:40,300 It's got a little bit of bitterness, a little bit of bitterness to it. But this is like top notch, top shelf, West Coast IPA. I would drink. Oh yeah, can we see the, in my cool Sub-Zero glass? 53 00:07:41,440 --> 00:08:00,380 Yeah, you can see my hand through it. I can. That's wild. Well, that's not your hand. You're sick. But no, this is, I love Maplewood. I don't buy them enough because they don't come around as much as you think a Chicago brewery would. 54 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:11,100 But I found these at another grocery retailer in the area. And I said, you know what? Maplewood puts out some really good shit and I'm going to trust myself on this one. And like I said, top shelf, man. 55 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,560 Nice. Sounds delicious. And it fit the algorithm? 56 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:31,680 Oh, 100%. I mean, this can art, you can't, I don't know if you can really see in the M. Because it's kind of holographic. But it's like blue and light blue holographic palm trees for like West Coast-y. And like you guys have palm trees there, right? 57 00:08:32,340 --> 00:08:45,120 One or two. Yeah, I've never been there. And then just the color combination. It's like this swirly, whirly color concept with some tan background. Oh, just great. They do some really, really, really great stuff. 58 00:08:45,640 --> 00:09:04,760 I love everyone's concept of like West Coast. It's like we got palm trees and we put avocado on everything. Avocado never crosses my mind with West Coast. Oh, anytime you order anything that says California, like California blah, blah, blah sandwich or burger or anything. It's avocado. And for some reason, they put fucking sprouts, like the little bean sprouts on it. 59 00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:14,780 Well, those are good. But what about that is California? I don't order anything with fucking sprouts. Like that's nowhere to be found except for on things labeled California. 60 00:09:14,780 --> 00:09:30,540 Okay, when I think California, I think beach, sun, earthquakes. In that order? I mean, that's like the first three things that cross my mind, right? And like a shit ton of traffic. Everybody knows about like the California traffic. 61 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:39,860 So if I say Wisconsin to you, first things that cross your mind? Don't you know? Okay. The accent. Okay. Drunk people. Yeah, okay. 62 00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:41,080 And cheese. 63 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,640 You got me in a box. Snow's the first thing that crosses my mind when you say Wisconsin. Oh, snow? Okay. 64 00:09:45,740 --> 00:09:46,940 I guess I could have said snow, yeah. 65 00:09:47,140 --> 00:09:53,540 You both have me in a box. Do we nail it? Yeah, nailed it pretty hard. 66 00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:59,480 Yeah, I think traffic's our number one quality in Southern California. Yeah, it's gotta be. 67 00:09:59,660 --> 00:10:13,900 Nailed me so hard, I think I need a safe word. Pineapple. It's a Wyawega. That's a hard safe word. Well, it's a city, they do cheese. 68 00:10:14,340 --> 00:10:30,260 Oh, okay. It could be Wyawega. Yeah, you just like saying that word. I do. Makes me feel good about myself. Speaking of California, I did a little wakeboarding trip last week. Yeah, you did. First one of the season. You look like a stud. Oh, thanks. 69 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,900 You're welcome. It was a good angle. It was like a good MySpace angle kind of thing. Nah, it was just a good angle. 70 00:10:36,340 --> 00:10:38,580 Like nobody could have taken a bad picture. 71 00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,740 Good angle, also good dick weather. 72 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:58,320 I actually thought about you the other day. I did, I did. I was sitting- It was a good dick weather? It's super weird. I was sitting outside, I had some jeans on, it was like a brisk 63 degrees, right? But it was sunny. 73 00:10:58,980 --> 00:11:02,100 Sunny 63 is way different than cloudy 63. 74 00:11:02,340 --> 00:11:02,740 Absolutely. 75 00:11:03,380 --> 00:11:19,080 And all I felt in my pants was really good dick weather. And I actually thought, wow, Greg should know how good this is right now. Love it. 76 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,020 Is that not weird? 77 00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:38,200 That's super weird. Okay, thank you. I still love it. So anyways, did that, did a bunch of wine tasting and stuff while we were up there at the pastos. A lot of wineries up there, that's what they're known for. It was the same weekend as the Firestone Invitational, and we were not able to get tickets to that because Firestone's stupid with their tickets. 78 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:53,940 And first of all, they doubled the price of tickets this year. That's dumb. Yeah, I wasn't going to then pay aftermarket prices. Because here's the thing, I'm going to be real honest. Hot take everybody, last year's Firestone Invitational was our first one that we went to. I didn't think it was that amazing. 79 00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:03,900 I think it was fun, good beer. But why the fuck do I want a double barrel aged stout when it's 95 degrees out? Quit bringing your big ass stouts to Firestone Invitational. 80 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,580 Big always stout season. 81 00:12:05,860 --> 00:12:22,000 Not when it's 100 degrees. So it was fun, and we were with fun people. Erica was there, of course, Nick and Nicole, Wiley, all those people were there. But it was just for the hype that had been given to it, it wasn't that great. 82 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:38,480 So I wasn't going to pay the aftermarket price. I thought Loggerville was much better. I thought Loggerville was a great festival. Big Dick Nick did tell me afterwards that this year was much better, way less stouts than last year. So anyways, they were doing that, we were wakeboarding. Which meant on the way home we stopped by, there it is now. 83 00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:54,620 You love that place. Oh, it's so good. You should stop there more often. Yeah, I'd like to. A little far away. I feel that. Yeah, we're going back in a couple weeks, so maybe we can stop again. Maybe. Maybe definitely. 84 00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:06,540 Maybe daddy. Maybe daddy, always daddy. Anybody do any good beer research lately? I have not, besides dinner does not exist. Has anybody gone out of the house? 85 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:12,760 Aside from last week when I stopped at the old mall pub before the show. The mall pub, yeah. God, we sound old. I know. 86 00:13:13,220 --> 00:13:13,880 Can we leave the house? 87 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:24,540 No, not really. You know what, for me, with the summer it's rough with the kids not being in school. It's like my free time is at an all-time low. Yeah. And just hard to make it out. 88 00:13:25,060 --> 00:13:36,180 Yeah, we've had some in-laws in town. Ugh. Very little beer research. Had to cancel a couple of trivia nights with Deb O'Brien just because of work and stuff. 89 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:36,240 90 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:43,420 Can't win second place again. Can't battle for second. Yeah, that's a rough one, man. Yeah, maybe this week. We'll see. It's a shitty feeling. 91 00:13:43,780 --> 00:13:44,740 Ugh, second place. 92 00:13:45,420 --> 00:13:49,460 Ugh, can't get to you. Slipped my clutches again. 93 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,500 Oh, sudden death for second place. Wow. It's like the best feeling. 94 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,900 That third place team is so happy you guys didn't show up. 95 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,720 Finally, we got second. Right now, they're the ones that are just like, second place. 96 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,120 Now we know how high they were riding. 97 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,900 You know, the Silicon Valley nerds is like the first place team everywhere they go. 98 00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:14,760 Silicon Valley nerds? I don't know. 99 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,340 Isn't that where all the nerds were? 100 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:26,920 Oh, I thought that was some team name or something. I was like, what? I'm sure it is. That's true. Probably, yeah. I think we talked about it with Deb that some of the teams had team shirts on and stuff while we were there, right? 101 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,140 Yeah, those are really, really lame people. 102 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,520 Yeah, like get a hobby or just drink or something. I don't know. Weird. 103 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:40,120 I don't know. Just, what do you, okay, if you're so good at trivia, what are you doing in your free time? 104 00:14:40,220 --> 00:14:43,600 That's what I want to know. What's your job? You must not have a job. 105 00:14:43,720 --> 00:15:03,580 Right, like when, if you were an average trivia team and you win one night, it's like the stars aligned. Right. That's how we felt in second place. Went your way and it's like, it equals one of the best nights ever. But if you're just somebody who constantly reads shit, researches shit, looks shit up, 106 00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:04,920 get a hobby. 107 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,960 Yeah. Evaluate your life or something. 108 00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:08,340 109 00:15:08,780 --> 00:15:12,280 Boy, you got a bunch of free time. You should start studying that one. I should. 110 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:12,480 111 00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:14,400 I forget stuff so fast. Yeah. 112 00:15:14,460 --> 00:15:24,740 Could you imagine Scott being a one man trivia team? Oh, man. Just like learning everything the world has to offer. Just trivia team name. Scott. Scott. 113 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:40,720 Followed by Scott. Scotty want chocolate? Scotty no. Or it could be. There it is. 114 00:15:41,580 --> 00:15:43,600 After he wins. 115 00:15:46,560 --> 00:16:02,160 Can you imagine him walking up to the like the fucking trivia master runner and just being like, hey, here's this audio clip. So when I win, make sure you play this. And they're just like, what the fuck? 116 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:12,100 And then he beats everybody like, I don't know, 76 to 20, whatever. Sure. Scores and trivia. And you just hear that I would fucking die. 117 00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:15,120 Well, my team carries me out on my Walker. Yeah. 118 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:24,240 I did it again. The crowd is just so enthralled by your knowledge that they just hoist you up. 119 00:16:24,580 --> 00:16:29,980 You should play that song at work when you leave work. Thank you, Scott. 120 00:16:30,180 --> 00:16:34,720 If I worked, I would do that. They usually thank me for leaving anyway. 121 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,500 It's about time, Scott. Please get the fuck out of here, Scott. 122 00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:46,580 Actually gets an answer wrong. Scotty doesn't know. Monday trivia. 123 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:53,860 Sure. Start studying. It's not trivia. I lived it. It's not history. That's just being a kid. 124 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,520 Yeah, that's just my life. I mean, I was lucky enough when I went to school, they didn't have history yet. 125 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,720 Still writing it. Yeah. Yeah. That's been nice. One less study. I hate history. 126 00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:06,460 We're going to have a history test today. What happened yesterday? 127 00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:12,359 Well, I wrote on these stone tablets. Yeah. 128 00:17:12,579 --> 00:17:17,619 Invented fire yesterday. That was pretty fucking cool. Pretty cool. 129 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,920 My cousin died of dysentery. I don't know. Whatever. 130 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:31,520 My brother invented the wheel. He said it was revolutionary. I told him it was bullshit. It'll never work, you idiot. 131 00:17:31,940 --> 00:17:39,320 No one's going to adopt that shit. Nobody wants that stupid thing. All it does is roll. You need this square thing right here to get around. 132 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,720 Oh, God. Yeah. Caveman Scott was a genius. 133 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,720 Caveman Scott. 134 00:17:46,160 --> 00:18:03,900 Oh, dear. All right. So, a couple of stories. First, I pulled this one up for Big Dick Nick and myself because we talk about this all the time. Finally, we've been vindicated. It's, can drowsy driving be compared to drunk driving? 135 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,140 We are tired all the fucking time. I believe 100%. 136 00:18:07,140 --> 00:18:07,900 Yes. 137 00:18:08,180 --> 00:18:24,340 Yeah, we constantly talk about how being super tired can be definitely more dangerous than being a little drunk. So, this study shows that after being awake for 18 hours, reaction time, multitasking, and eye-hand coordination are comparable to someone who has a blood alcohol content of 0.05%. 138 00:18:24,340 --> 00:18:40,580 0.5%? 0.05% to just under legal. This increases to 0.08, the legal limit, after being awake for 20 hours. And after being awake for a full 24 hours, the impairment jumps up to the comparable of 0.1%, so more than drunk. 139 00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:55,320 I'm shocked it's not higher. Yeah, me too. Because I used to not necessarily be up for 18 hours, but I'd only get like three, four hours of sleep because I was working the morning shift. And man, driving home after nine hours or whatever, I was like, ah. 140 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:10,480 Well, and I used to work third shift. Now, this was some odd years ago, 13, 14, 15 years ago. And trying, like, no matter how long you work third shift, your body chemistry never gets used to it. No. 141 00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:29,940 So, like, you can sleep eight hours from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., wake up, you know, do whatever for half an hour, and then head to work. And I had fallen asleep in traffic on multiple occasions after getting like a full, what you would consider a full night's sleep, but because it's out of the norm of your natural 142 00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:32,340 body chemistry, it's so dangerous. 143 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:33,780 And it's dark out still. 144 00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:38,280 Do you know how many times I fell asleep at the wheel after drinking? Zero. Zero times. 145 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:47,380 Yeah, same. I've never drank and fallen asleep at the wheel. Not once ever. But I definitely fell asleep at the wheel multiple times driving home at 2 in the afternoon. 146 00:19:47,380 --> 00:19:54,660 Yep. I can concur with that, man. Because I wake up in the morning. Or I'll bring a classic back. I'll cosign that. 147 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:55,940 Oh, thanks, Dan. 148 00:19:56,500 --> 00:20:02,600 I can remember getting two or three hours of sleep, and one of my jobs was driving. Right. 149 00:20:02,740 --> 00:20:07,820 That was always the best. Yeah. That sucks. Didn't they offer to get out of your car once? 150 00:20:08,020 --> 00:20:22,280 They actually did. I'll try to make this a quick story, but yeah, I was on my way home from driving from LAX. I was supposed to drop, and those that are local know what I'm talking about, but I was dropping one group off in Thousand Oaks and another group in Santa Barbara. 151 00:20:22,420 --> 00:20:26,480 So like an hour and some change drive, then another hour after that. Right. 152 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:44,880 When I got to Thousand Oaks, everybody got off. And I asked the Santa Barbara people, which is farther north, and I, what are you guys doing? Aren't you going to Santa Barbara? They, yeah, but you're kind of driving a little... They're like trying to be nice about it. They said nothing against you because we know you're tired, but you're really scaring us, 153 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,740 so we're going to get a taxi the rest of the way home. 154 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,400 Did they ever call your company or anything? I did. 155 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,320 Oh, you did? 156 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:51,320 157 00:20:51,440 --> 00:21:04,840 Because when I called and I said, I'm not going to Santa Barbara, and they asked why, I said, I told them the truth. I said, they said I was driving crazy because I was tired. And their only response was, okay, we'll head back to LAX. Get back to the airport. 158 00:21:05,260 --> 00:21:05,260 159 00:21:05,580 --> 00:21:23,420 She said, but they're full of shit. I'm only drunk. Yeah. I'm not tired at all. Yeah, I feel great. Yeah. I tell you, man, I half fell asleep and kind of fully fell asleep so many times. Two in the afternoon because I'd woken up at three. Shit, I never could get used to that. 160 00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:24,120 No. 161 00:21:24,220 --> 00:21:24,220 162 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:41,600 Shit, I mean, there was another time I used to coach football, high school football. And for some reason, they had scheduled some non-conference game three and a half hours away, in-state, mind you. And we went for like a full day of freshman coaching, JV coaching, and varsity coaching. 163 00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:59,660 So you wake up early, start your day, drive out there, spend entire day out early, early summer, super warm. And then to finish a varsity football game at like 10.30 and then drive three and a half hours back to Milwaukee. I fell asleep at the wheel multiple times. 164 00:22:00,260 --> 00:22:07,600 No idea how I'm still alive. Oh, yeah. It's bizarre. Drowsy driving is so much more dangerous. 165 00:22:08,140 --> 00:22:16,420 Yeah. Or you have those ones where you sort of like half doze, and all of a sudden you're at your location. You're like, how the fuck did I get here? Yep. I've had plenty of those. 166 00:22:16,620 --> 00:22:35,460 Have you ever had that on the way home from work? Oh, yeah. And they call it, they say it's just like, there's like a technical term for it because you've done it so many times, allegedly, that- It's like muscle memory or something? Yeah. Yeah. It's something like that. But it's also very scary because you're like, I don't remember going through that street 167 00:22:35,460 --> 00:22:36,540 or making that turn. 168 00:22:36,860 --> 00:22:50,520 Yeah. Like you get home, you're like, wait a minute. Yeah, man. I mean, I've done a little bit when I've been drinking too. So many more times when I was tired. So anyways, that was for all you tired people out there. All right, let's make a call to the pen. 169 00:22:54,820 --> 00:22:58,160 He calls to the bullpen for beer. 170 00:22:59,940 --> 00:23:03,300 This one comes by way of Indiana. 171 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,340 What? 172 00:23:05,620 --> 00:23:06,780 You got Indiana beer? 173 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:22,480 This one's from Zach. You son of a gun. All it's missing is a sweet hat. We are drinking Woven Water Brewing's Rising Depths. It's a hazy IPA, 8.6%, a 416 and untapped. 174 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:33,300 And they say, yeah, very respectable. They say double blurry IPA brewed with thialized yeast and a blend of American hops. Love the thialized yeast. 175 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:39,260 I do like thialized yeast. I've had a cold IPA with the thialized yeast. Dude, game changer. 176 00:23:39,860 --> 00:23:42,700 And as you can see, sweet canner. I love their cans. 177 00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:48,560 Yeah, I love how they call their IPAs blurry too and not hazy or like how Pure calls them murky. 178 00:23:49,060 --> 00:24:03,380 Yeah, and Humble C calls them foggy. Foggy, yes, that's right. That is great. So anyways, this very short description. I don't get a ton on the schnauz. Do you get any? Not really. 179 00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:08,920 But I can get some citrus when I taste it, but don't really smell much. 180 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:25,380 Yeah, not a lot of schnauz. I definitely get the citrus, some orange, maybe a little pineapple. Very nice, smooth mouthfeel. Lexi likey. Mouthfeel daddy. This is a collaboration with Dissolver. 181 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:32,460 Wolven Water, I say by way of Indiana, that's because Zach sent it to us, but Wolven Water is out of Tampa, Florida. So don't get it twisted. 182 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,420 Or don't get it blurry. 183 00:24:35,060 --> 00:24:45,440 Oh shit. Hey, snap. But yeah, I am definitely a fan of this. He was talking a lot of big game about Wolven Water and they're definitely following through on his promises. 184 00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:49,300 Yeah, the few beers he sent me from there, that was stupid beer, man. 185 00:24:49,660 --> 00:25:05,080 Yeah, this is good stuff. Are you a fan? Yes, definitely. Yeah, that's good. All right, a few news stories to get to. 29 of the top 50 craft breweries recorded volume declines in 2022. 186 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:15,200 Overall craft remained roughly flat. For the top three, Yingling, Boston Beer, and Sierra Nevada all declined a little bit. 187 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,700 I tell you, I haven't bought any of them in 2022, so that makes sense. 188 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:26,680 I am right there. Oh, you know, I did buy a little Sierra Nevada. The wife loves the wild little thing. 189 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:34,080 I might have had Sam Adams Oktoberfest, but I can't remember. Maybe I didn't last year. But not in 23. 190 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:35,400 You would have had that in 22. 191 00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:42,240 Well, that's what it said, it was 22. Oh, you're right, I'm dumb. Yeah, you're dumb. Yeah. I think the last time I actually had that was 2021. 192 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:59,600 Oh, okay. Yeah, I haven't had that one in a while. It's good. Oh, I did have Hazy Little Thing this year, or at least that's what they told me at the bar, remember? And they were full of shit and it was clear. I was fucking idiots. I don't know what I drank, but I paid for Hazy Little Thing. I drank clear as fuck Little Thing. 193 00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:16,660 So anyways, ups and downs in the craft beer world. But what I wanted to get to was that microbreweries, taprooms, and brew pubs. Taprooms, so breweries that sell more than 25% of their beer on site and do not offer significant food service. 194 00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:33,920 So your typical taproom. Increased production 9% collectively in 2022. So they were up. And the one that was up the most, Treehouse Brewing. Shocker. Not a huge shock there. But this is what I wanted to get to. The largest taproom, they were considered regional size. 195 00:26:34,340 --> 00:26:52,520 Below regional status, which was up 49% in their production, Topa Topa Brewing in Tarrant, California. No kidding. Wow. Yeah. Look at y'all. Yeah, so I was very excited. So congrats to Jack and the team. I love Topa Brewing. In fact, we interviewed them. I should have pulled what number that interview was, but you can search for it on the website. 196 00:26:52,520 --> 00:27:07,600 Just go to crappyrepo.com, click on podcast, type in Topa Topa, pop up. Zing, zing, ziggity. Exactly. So anyway, a little nerd shit there. But I love Topa, so congrats to those guys. They're having their eight year. They're up 49%. Yeah, that's pretty insane. 197 00:27:07,820 --> 00:27:16,260 That's nuts. Yeah, they're having their, I think it's their eight year anniversary shortly. If it, no, I don't think it's happened yet. I think it's coming soon. Yep, we'll go with that. 198 00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:20,920 I hope they come out with a beer called like up 49%. 199 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,400 That'd be pretty good. I'm kidding. 200 00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:26,580 Like just like an arrow up and then like 49%, that'd be wild. 201 00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:31,560 It's like a stock thing, like the arrow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'd be so good. That'd be pretty good. 202 00:27:31,580 --> 00:27:34,980 You didn't hear from me. Nope. But if you did, I'll take it back. 203 00:27:36,620 --> 00:27:39,560 Are you going to Virginia on any random vacations you don't know of? 204 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,180 Not that I know of. Okay. I can wake up tomorrow morning and be on my way. 205 00:27:43,220 --> 00:27:50,140 Yeah. Well, if you do, I've got some good news for you. I can't wait. Yeah, Bush Gardens is offering free and discounted beer this summer. 206 00:27:50,220 --> 00:27:51,800 Okay, maybe I am. Okay. 207 00:27:51,860 --> 00:27:54,860 Next time the wife surprises you with a vacation, you go, how about Virginia? 208 00:27:55,180 --> 00:27:57,140 Yeah. So it's all expiring? 209 00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:12,980 Most likely. That's okay. Still got alcohol. Williamsburg, Virginia, Bush Gardens allows visitors to cool down this summer with free beer at its Williamsburg Amusement Park. Beginning May 26, members and annual pass holders that are 21 and older can receive a free seven ounce beer per visit to the park. 210 00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:14,180 Seven ounces? 211 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,100 Such a random amount. Wow. Give me a bottle of water at that point. 212 00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:37,960 And all guests can purchase two seven ounce beers for 50 cents each. The complimentary drafts, which include beer from Anheuser-Busch and Coors Brewing Company, will be available from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Pours will be available at Wilkommhaus in the German area of the park through August 213 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:44,360 17th. So if you're looking for some shit beer at low shit prices, head on over to Bush Gardens. 214 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:44,360 215 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:51,620 Seven ounces of beer. I wonder how they're tracking this. Like, could you just get back in line like, hey, I'm here for my first ever free pour. 216 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,800 Yeah, I wonder how they do that. Do you have to have tickets or? 217 00:28:55,500 --> 00:29:01,160 Stamp your face. Scott, walk around the park with a bunch of stamps on his forehead. 218 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:18,140 I saw the name of that first beer. Maybe they put a chip in the back of your neck like a dog. Just cracking them. Nope. This guy's already had his two seven ounce pours. All two of them. Market seven ounce pours. 219 00:29:18,180 --> 00:29:20,500 I've had 14 ounces, so I'm just hammered. 220 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:20,720 221 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:29,220 Got shittered off that Bud Light. Not only are you hammered, you're gay now, too. That's right. Look out. 222 00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:35,280 Now I can do a commercial and everybody will hate me. Yeah, exactly. 223 00:29:36,140 --> 00:29:38,740 They already knew it's fine. Oh, that's true. Yeah, yeah. We're good. 224 00:29:39,220 --> 00:29:40,640 I won't even notice. 225 00:29:40,780 --> 00:29:43,980 Yeah. We find a way to alienate both sides on this show, don't we? 226 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,580 We do a good job. But mostly the idiots. 227 00:29:46,900 --> 00:30:12,320 Yeah, but hey, idiots. Worry about the real problems. All right. Here are the fastest growing breweries in the US according to Untapped. What does that mean, fastest growing? All right. I'm going to give you two different categories. The first, number one, the highest absolute growth in terms of number of check-ins between 2020 and 2022 with at least 500 check-ins in 2020. 228 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:25,360 The second category, the highest growth rate during that time frame with a minimum of 500 check-ins. I like time frames instead. I'll give you a time frame. Time frame job. 229 00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:26,920 Oh, is it time to leave? 230 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:46,220 Yeah. So category number one, in terms of absolute growth, Pheidon's Brewing Company in Colony, New York, took first with a total increase of 105,653 check-ins, nearly doubling the number of check-ins of second place, which was Trippin' Animals Brewing in Florida. 231 00:30:46,420 --> 00:31:02,360 So congrats there. In terms of growth rate, first state brewing company in Middleton, Delaware, took the top spot. I'm in Delaware. We should get you a green screen. 232 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:12,420 First state brewing saw a whopping 3,191% increase in user check-ins on the app. 233 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,040 Still losing compared to 49%. 234 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,020 Yeah, Topa Topa still rules. Let's go. Fucking losers. 235 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:19,400 236 00:31:20,820 --> 00:31:21,920 Is that Dominic Toretto? 237 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:38,760 No, I don't know. It's what all the kids do now. They just say something that's mildly exciting, and then they flex both their arms together and they go, let's go. Like lots of O's? Yeah, yeah. 238 00:31:39,020 --> 00:31:56,680 And it's super, see if I can say like anymore. It's like no emotionless. Real flat. So it's like when you're excited, but you're not. So you're just like, let's go, like that. 239 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:03,480 Where you're not like actually excited about it. I'm not excited anymore. Well, no. It's what the kids do. 240 00:32:03,940 --> 00:32:08,220 I'm glad you have kids. Somebody around here has to have kids so that we know what's cool these days. 241 00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:09,540 Keep us up to date. Yeah. 242 00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:13,940 I'm hip. I'm with it. Tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck. 243 00:32:15,420 --> 00:32:24,900 You're dumb. We put that on every episode. Just Dr. Evil. Tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck. 244 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:32,480 And then finally, drunk. Oh, God, I'm going to get this so wrong. Guru-gram? Nailed it. No, that was perfect. 245 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,680 That's so right. Got it. 246 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,180 I've been practicing. I said it many times before the show started. 247 00:32:38,420 --> 00:32:38,420 248 00:32:38,460 --> 00:32:43,720 Yup, that. Man forgets he has a car, hands it over to a stranger, and takes the metro. 249 00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:44,980 Was this in Florida? 250 00:32:45,840 --> 00:33:03,660 Florida of the far east. No, it's in India. Good Lord. Yeah. Oh, God. Why do they have to say this city so many times? A Guru-gram resident reportedly handed over his car and other valuables to a thief in 251 00:33:03,660 --> 00:33:20,180 an intoxicated condition after consuming alcohol with him inside his own vehicle. Guru-gram resident Amit Prakash, 30, had drinks inside his car on Friday night, but a burglar who managed to join him for drinks stole his car and other things from him. 252 00:33:20,340 --> 00:33:30,640 Can we stop right there? Sure. Please. Pause. You're in your car. Not currently, but. And you're drinking. Hypothetically. Okay, I tend not to do that, but. 253 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:46,500 And then some stranger pops in your car. Hey, fella. And you're in Guru-gram. Yo. Guru-gram. Can I have some drinks? And you're like, hell yeah. Beer it is? And you give him said drinks. 254 00:33:46,620 --> 00:33:48,580 Right. And then he steals your car. 255 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,060 Yeah, it's pretty shitty. 256 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,800 Isn't that weird? Why are you letting a stranger in your car to drink with you? 257 00:33:54,220 --> 00:33:57,140 I was gonna say, the thievery's not even the weirdest part. 258 00:33:57,220 --> 00:33:58,480 Just letting the guy in the car. 259 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,300 Just letting the guy in the car. 260 00:34:00,980 --> 00:34:00,980 261 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,940 Yeah, or drinking in your car. Like, what? Is that a thing? 262 00:34:06,060 --> 00:34:20,639 Maybe, maybe, I forgot the guy's name, but maybe he had a long day. What was it? Amit. Amit? Yeah. Maybe Amit had a long day. Maybe he did. And he said, today at the office sucked dick. 263 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:33,600 And then the stranger jumped in. Right. Right, when he said, today sucked dick. Did somebody say, sucked dick? Okay, now it makes sense. You got any beer? Or did you say, Debs dick? Which was it? Debs. 264 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,800 Okay, so it's weird. I just wanna establish that this is weird. 265 00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:49,900 Weirdness has been established. Okay. Amit, who works in a private company on a golf course road, planned to unwind in his car after work, and shortly after, started drinking. He was then joined by a stranger. 266 00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:51,460 So he had a long day. 267 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:59,540 I think he did, on golf course road. Later, when the victim was in an intoxicated condition. That's not a real place. 268 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,040 Moggy's the 17th of July. That is not a real place. 269 00:35:05,220 --> 00:35:22,760 Runs parallel to Sesame Street. Later, when the victim was in an intoxicated condition, the thief asked him to get out of his car near... Oh, I'm not gonna try. And then drove off, leaving Amit stranded. Amit was forced to use the metro to get to his home. Amit didn't remember the incident again until the next day. 270 00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:38,260 At which point, he went to the Sector 65 police station to lodge a complaint. The police have accused the man of theft under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code. After finishing his shift, Amit allegedly... Penal? 271 00:35:38,540 --> 00:35:48,080 Amit allegedly went to a BYOB kiosk at the Lake Forest Wine Shop on Golf Course Road. I want more of these kiosks. 272 00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:50,460 Did you know there's two golf course roads in India? 273 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,260 And he's on both of them? 274 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,620 Did you look it up just now? I had to look this shit up. That's fucking crazy. 275 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:13,600 It's made up. In an intoxicated condition, I paid 20,000 monies. I don't know what this stands for. For one wine bottle that had 2,000 monies as its MRP. 276 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:29,860 The shop owner, however, returned 18,000 monies in cash. This is part of his police statement. After that, I went to my car and started drinking again. Suddenly, a stranger came and asked me if he too could join me for a few drinks. 277 00:36:29,860 --> 00:36:47,960 I obliged and offered him drinks. He recounted. Recalling the events, he mentioned that he drove along with the stranger until they reached... Location. Astonishingly, upon arriving... At said location, Amit admitted that he forgot that he was in his own car. 278 00:36:48,280 --> 00:37:03,520 He said that he had done as the stranger had asked and got out of the automobile. He decided to take an auto rickshaw to the HUDA City Center Metro Station... From there, in order to get back into his house. Amit, however, was unable to recall any specifics of the stranger. 279 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,580 Gurugurum police spokesperson... Oh, fuck. 280 00:37:07,820 --> 00:37:09,580 That does sound a lot like my old Uber days. 281 00:37:09,780 --> 00:37:18,020 A little bit. This guy said the efforts are being made to study the CCTV footage... In an effort to identify the persons involved. 282 00:37:18,260 --> 00:37:22,760 Dude, there's sectors in India. That's crazy. 283 00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:26,640 That sounds very like future movie stuff. Sector 9. 284 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,160 And then the guy took a hundred monies from me. 285 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,500 Monies, dude. That was so good. 286 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,220 What's their system there? 287 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,380 I don't know. System currency? Did you say currency? 288 00:37:39,060 --> 00:37:40,660 Currency? Monies works better though. 289 00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:47,500 I don't know. Let's see. Currency in India is a rupee. I was gonna say rupee, but I didn't want to sound like a dick. 290 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:57,320 I said ruby. That was not quite correct. No. Those are gemstones. Yeah. Well, I got through that one, guys. Dude, that was wild. 291 00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:13,340 Wild ride for a meet. Monies and golf course roads. Which, if anybody is curious, there are two in India. Don't get them mixed up. Are they near each other? No, they're like super far away. One's towards the tip, like the fin. 292 00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:29,200 You know, like India's fin. Right, just the tip. Yeah. There's one towards the tip, but then there's one towards the opposite end of the tip. Got it. The base. Oh, wow. Shame on me. Oops. Yes. The base. 293 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,140 Feels like a great time to end things. 294 00:38:32,820 --> 00:38:34,380 Scott coming in with the zinger. 295 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:42,340 Yeah, exactly. Any more workout tips for us? I'm off air. Okay. Yeah, we'll take this conversation off air. 296 00:38:42,460 --> 00:38:45,440 He said always measure from the base, not the balls. 297 00:38:45,460 --> 00:38:49,020 Yes, always. And I'll continue the 16-ounce curls. 298 00:38:49,260 --> 00:39:05,640 16-ounce curls, not the 7-ounce beers. No, God. My favorite measuring joke I stole from Adam Corolla. You start at the anus twice around the balls and up the shaft. That's how you measure your dick. You're huge. Yeah, ginormous. Anyways, we're so sorry, everyone. 299 00:39:06,300 --> 00:39:06,300 300 00:39:06,300 --> 00:39:21,360 Hi, Vanessa. Great transition. Talk about measuring dicks. Hi, Vanessa. Love the segue. Yes.
