But yeah, and then we got Luthor's Libation Law Some booze news to talk about Brewdog is back in the news And they are not fitting the offer Get out of here I know those fuckers I'm gonna go hang out with Budweiser We're so punk If there was ever a dog that needed to get put to sleep It would be Brewdog
True that I love your style Alright, we are way too sober over here Let's get to drinking I love my beer Oh, oh, oh, oh I love my beer
I love my beer I love my beer We need a remix where it's like the I love my beer, what is Flex drinking song My favorite part about this is it's just us And we're still dancing like complete idiots Yeah, and no one else can see it
Oh man, it's a good thing too Thanks to the homie Brian over at Titletown Brewing Flex and I are both drinking Titletown Brewing's Blizzard Bay Cold IPA What did you just say?
Did he mean IPL? Made with all American Pilsner malt, rice, Southern Hemisphere hops, and lager yeast We're cleaning up the IPA for a light bodied Easy drinking beer that showcases the tropical notes Of these Southern Hemisphere hops
Add a little sunshine to your day This is 5.9% has 69 IBUs And a 361 on untapped at a 97 ratings at this point This is a new beer, they just dropped it a few weeks ago I was one of the first to get it when Brian sent it out
So thanks to Brian, we got a voicemail from Brian So we'll get to that in a couple of few Yeah, big cheers to Brian on this one Yeah, but first the beer On the old schnazzaroonidoonie I'm getting unripe cantaloupe that is just ripening
Yeah, some of that melany, some of that floral Definitely smells like they've used some Southern Hemisphere hops Maybe like a hint of white grape Yeah, like a hint Melany, floral, white, grape
That's like perfect on the dot Yeah, do you think we could warm up the tongue jobber together? Should we count it down? Yeah, ready? 3, 2, 1 The dumbest thing we've ever done
We've lost everybody Goodnight everybody Alright, so we'll dive in here I'd say the taste very closely follows the schnazz You know, get a little bit of that melany, get that floral I actually get a little more white grape out of the flavor than I do the smell
Okay, and see I was thinking Because we've had this open for a little bit now, we've been tasting a little bit As it warmed up Well right out of the can it was a lot more florally than expected As it warmed up, you're right, that melany flavor Definitely comes through a little bit more
I might be having an issue finding that white grape Maybe it's just me I only had COVID like a month ago I'm going to dive in real quick one more time COVID's fresh, maybe my tongue's not 100% yet Your tongue looks great
Works great I get what you mean with that white grape Have you ever had a good green white grape? It's sour, right? Yeah, like a hint of tartness Yeah, it's like you get a hint of tartness but it's not tart It's like the flavor of it Does that make sense?
Yeah, so I get what you're saying But yeah, this is super light, clean, it's crisp The carbonation is pretty low on my end Yeah, not overly carbonated by any means Very light Yeah, I'd say this is a pretty dang good beer, hey?
Yeah, this is very very drinkable And 5.9, I was surprised to see it was 5.9 I would have guessed it was low 5's at best So good job with that one We'll just work on that category, Cold IBA, we'll be good to go I can't not address the elephant in the room
I know, we make fun of it all the time, we really do But huge thank you to Brian Yeah, Brian was awesome And again, this is Titletown Brewing, they're located up in Green Bay It is the perfect name for a Green Bay brewery Because, I don't know if you're aware, Greg, but Green Bay is known as Titletown
Yeah, I don't know why Because they've won so many football titles Like the Packers have? Yeah, like before the NFL was a thing Oh, I was like, they have that many Super Bowl titles Well, I mean, like four upon all the other world titles Like before Super Bowls were a thing, they were world titles
And that's a pretty big deal because we're world champions Because it's the world, yeah Yes, Greg, yes But yeah, I was telling them the other day when we met For some lunch beers, classic lunch beers The best I said, how is this brewery not like the brewery of Wisconsin?
Or at least like the brewery of Green Bay? Yeah, name alone Right, by the name alone How are people not just like, I need this beer 20 weeks a year minimum You know, for every week of football It just doesn't make sense to me True, maybe the Packers would do better if you guys were drinking Titletown
Maybe Aaron Rodgers would get out of here if we got some Titletown I know, fucking Nick, Big Dick Nick He wants Aaron Rodgers to come to the Niners I'm like, no, I don't want that drama I don't know, you're just Hard pass You're just asking to bring in some like modern hippie, believing in astrology
Which if anybody is that and does that, that's great Hey, thanks for listening But it tears apart an organization Right, you know, if Mercury is in retrograde, it's bad I don't know what that even means I don't know, I could tell you that like a week ago, Jupiter and Venus were really close in the sky
Yeah, that was super cool to see I don't know what that meant for the astrology weirdos But that was really cool to watch up in the sky Yeah, it's just cool It's just science It's just nerds, right? Yeah It was funny, we were walking, we were walking the dog And the wife goes, oh, there's the planets
And I was like, what? She goes, yeah, look, and they were so close, I just thought it was an airplane Like each wing was lit up, you know I was like, oh, it's not a plane? She goes, no, it's a planet I was like, oh, Greg's dumb But also, that's pretty fucking cool Yeah, that was pretty sweet Nailed it So cheers again, thanks Brian
You sort of hinted at it, you got to hang out with Brian Yeah, this is like my second time hanging out with him That's cool I didn't really hint at it, I just basically said like You said it I've had a few beers Hooked up, met up, whatever Wow, nice Did you guys have lunch beers?
We did have some lunch beers We met out at this place called the Milwaukee Burger Company Which, believe it or not, it's a restaurant in Milwaukee And they sell burgers Oh It's actually funny, Brian got the tacos and I got the wings
Nobody had a burger, huh? No, but they have like, jesus, some 30 to 40 beers on tap Nice Upon like, a whole other 20 other beers you can get canned or bottled And it's like all craft beer So the really fun thing here is they have a leaderboard
And it's whoever like, tried however many beers And they have like a top five And this one guy on there, I think his name was Scott I don't know, I don't know Scott I know A. Scott, but I don't know this Scott If he's a drunk, I believe it He's tried over 2, it was like 2,089 beers or something like that
Definitely Scott, yeah Yeah, definitely Scott And That was just Tuesday So we talked to the waitress and we said, hey Is there any point to being on top of that list, right? Do you get anything for being number one, trying as many beers as possible?
She said liver disease Well, we're thinking it's just bragging rights Right Maybe going to get like a couple flights, you know, twice a week Yeah You know, 16 beers Yeah, 32 beers, you know, you try a month and whatever Apparently, she said they sent him to GABF a few times
He's gotten free beer for two years Damn That's how he's tried so many Yeah, and there's been like some other perks that she said But those are like the two that like were off the top of my, I remember How do you not remember that? Like, hey, I go to this restaurant a lot
And they sent me to Great American Beer Festival twice That's insane That's nuts Flex, you got to get out to GABF this year We've already booked, like we've taken the time off Did you really? Yeah, I've already, my PTO is approved We're going to be there So is Big Dick, Nick and Coley
No kidding Yep Sheesh, you got to get to GABF Yeah Calling my name Yeah, come on, boy Start drinking some drinks and get sent out to GABF I feel like if, how many beers would I have to try in the next
I don't know, but I believe in you 2089, that's a lot of beers You got this, just channel your inner Scott I am the Scott, I am the Scott Bye bye liver Who needs them?
Yeah, they're for losers Breaking news, I just got a text message That my Pure Project brewing shipment is on its way And will be here tomorrow That is exciting That is exciting, I love when I get those texts I'm super excited for you Yeah, thanks Sorry, sorry for derailing Those personalized notes are the best
Right, those are the best It really makes you feel like you're part of the Pure Project family Right Hey, you know, they do a good job Now we're on a tangent They do a really good job Every box has like a little handwritten note So it's like, hey, cheers Greg, thanks for, you know, whatever The last one was their seventh anniversary
And they threw in an extra collab beer No way For me to try I'm sure I'm not special I'm sure everyone got one But it, you know, made me feel special That's still a really cool thing To make somebody feel special Even if they're not really special Exactly I'm not really specially special Or are you really special?
Oh, anybody else with that Pure subscription Let me know if you got the fancy special beer So I can feel better about myself Just tell them you didn't get it Yeah, exactly And also, not only did you hang out with Brian But I hear you were doing some swimming in your basement
Yeah, jeez, yeah Thanks for reminding me We had two inches of rain in one day On top of like frozen ground Oh That's the thing, you know Wisconsin this time of year, everything's not, you know
How it should be Which also rain, it's not supposed to rain this time of year either Oh, it's supposed to snow, right? Correct We've been getting both out here It doesn't snow here I did see that it was snowing in Disneyland a few weeks ago That shit's nuts I was in Burbank a week ago, snowing in Burbank
Like what the fuck is going on here? That's fucked up, man This world's going down But yeah, so we got like a record rainfall in a day For like the time of year And, cause two, they always say One inch of rain would be one foot of snow
Okay Like that's like the rule of thumb So instead of getting two feet of snow, we got two inches of rain And then it flooded my fucking basement Because it sucks My sub pump broke and Did it come through a window? What happened?
Nah, like the sub pump broke So it's like all the water that flushes in around the house And like flushes it out Oh You know, and that broke So then everything started like piling up through the tiles and the floor Under the carpet
Yeah, so it was legitimately like It was like a splash pad in my basement Kids were like, fuck yeah! It was horrible and it was fucking ice cold So it only took like Just I would say like eight hours of vacuuming up water
That's all, huh? To get it out, yeah That's exciting for you Yeah, it didn't suck the wind out of my sails at all for my vacation Yeah, dick hotel's coming up, right? Well yeah, so I mean It happened like the week I was on vacation Oh, that's right, you had a week off
Yeah, and like the worst part was I had like a great morning Fucking was super productive I'm like, I'm gonna clean some shit on vacation Like I'm gonna get some shit done Took a great dump We had some We had like this huge lunch beer party We had like five or six people up
To get lunch beers at Eagle Park I went home with like a case of beer And then my buddy Duke Best name on the gram Duke of Drinkability Was gonna help me take a TV stand from my in-laws house To my house And then carry it downstairs and carry my old one up
And that's how we Figured out the flooding You walked downstairs and went squish squish squish? Yeah, so we went down there He's a super big dude, you know, obviously So we easily get The TV stand into his truck My in-laws are like a mile and a half away from me
So it's like super easy ride home And he's like, hey do you want me to help you bring it downstairs real quick And I said, yeah, that would actually be really lovely Except I didn't say lovely I said, hell yeah You said lovely And then I opened up my basement door And I looked down and you could just see it
Like at the bottom of the fucking stairs But it's one of those things where like you don't wanna believe it Right So then I walked downstairs and I started sloshing in it And then I kept sloshing Just to see like If the sloshing kept going And then you're just walking around
Waiting for the sloshing to stop Just killed my morale It's like I had a great day and then that happened And then everything was bad I remember we had just gotten Brand new floors at our house This was right before COVID It was the wife's birthday
It was like 2-3 months before COVID happened We had just gotten brand new floors And we were getting ready for her birthday party People were coming over And we were doing some laundry She had showered, I had showered We're getting ready and all of a sudden I hear this noise I was like what the fuck is that noise
I was like turn off your hair dryer And I'm waiting like it's water The fuck is happening And I run downstairs and like the washer had bounced itself Like away from the wall Oh no So it's just draining all over There's just inches of water
In my downstairs hallway So of course I stop it And then I yell All the towels All the towels And then all of a sudden like two towels fall downstairs And I was like I don't think you fucking get it All the towels we own
Need to be downstairs now And she's like huh I'm like give me all the fucking towels I don't know how I can get this across to you Any clear that I need every god damn towel in this house In the downstairs region And I'm just over here thinking you have two towels in the entire house
At least if we only had two towels in the entire house I wouldn't have been pissed at her I was like give me the fucking towels Finally get more towels and then we're sitting there cleaning that up I'm like fuck the baseboards are brand new They haven't been painted yet Cause the floors, they got installed with the floors
I'm like ahhh So it all worked out That's like oh fuck I was shitting myself That's what I was doing I'm thinking like are we going to have to get rid of the carpet Are we going to have to rip everything out Is there any other baseboards And the molding Like whatever
Cause it was completely flooded in one room And then basically went Essentially like a quarter to half in the next room And then because Like the basement is You know it's like I don't even know how to say it You know it's like angled almost right
On like both sides Oh it's kind of like a valley Yeah like if anything happens it like drains to the center Valley that's a good term I was just thinking to myself It pooled up so much water That it started leaking up the other Side
Something's got to be fucked up It's a good thing you bought yourself a bunch of beer that day Yeah yeah it really Came in handy let me tell you Jesus Christ Well to turn the morale around We um very unrelated We found
Some gift cards Like we had a bunch of gift cards from like pre-covid And we just didn't use them Okay let me stop you for a second When you get gift cards Or your wife does she like Do you use them right away or do you just kind of like No we're horrible at using them
See and my wife has like this Ziploc bag every time she gets a gift card She just puts the gift card in a ziploc bag Yeah we have a uh like a file In our cabinet You know like a filing cabinet There's one file that just has all our it's called fun stuff And it has all of our gift cards in it
Yeah and she just forgets about the ziploc bag Yeah we are Notoriously horrendous at remembering the gift cards Covid made it ten times worse And so we're like you know what We need to start using these things before like the place is Going to business because we've lost a couple To businesses that aren't around anymore
And nothing you can do then That would never even cross my mind Yeah so we went out to this place last week called Fleming's it's a steakhouse Oh okay yeah so fancy steakhouse Crazy expensive The gift card covered a fraction Of the actual bill
No it did a pretty decent job It's like the one time I'll get cocktails Like when I'm at nice places like that What is your go to cocktail? Usually either a Old fashioned or a Manhattan I stick with whiskey Okay yeah The beer selection is usually pretty shit
And at those nicer places The bartenders are usually pretty good So I'll go cocktail So we went cocktail I got a couple old fashions And a Manhattan that night And they were good but we're sitting there And I look over and the wife knows Like enough about wrestlers that if I
Mention a wrestler who's like semi Famous she'll know who I'm talking about There's this guy like one table away And I was like hey doesn't that guy look like A not steroided triple H And she's like oh my god I see What you're saying like his face Looked like triple H
The shaved head the beard It looked like triple H And the whole night I just couldn't stop staring at like Knock off triple H Across the table from like Costco triple H Pauly Levesque Yeah it was Paul's cousin
Vinny or something you know like Vinny Levesque But uh Yeah the whole night I'm just like god damn She's like can we just enjoy dinner I was like yeah sorry Triple H was distracting Did you snap like a secret picture I did How have you not sent it to me

I am the puzzle He was like the original Nintendo right exactly So I'm looking for my triple H picture it's somewhere I will Here it is I'm gonna send this to you right now And I hope That you agree with me that this is
Definitely miniature Triple H I'm on pins and needles Oh okay image sent Delivered Come on right He's even got like the eyes that go Downward right Come on it's a little triple H
His arms are double H They're super tiny oh he was Tiny he's like Lowercase H and he stood up And he was probably like 5'7 like the dude Was tiny but his face Looks like triple H I totally get it Yeah that makes sense
His wife did not look like Stephanie Yeah I'm assuming that's why she's Not in the picture well It just wasn't important yeah Having dinner on triple H Sorry to all the Non-wrestler fans but Also not sorry yeah had some great
Steak had some great cocktails finished the night At Oak and Iron having some more great cocktails It's a craft cocktail bar By our house we don't have one of those Here oh it's so good if you are In the mood for a cocktail it is the spot To fucking go to it is so good It's not something I frequently want but
When you want it it's good We have like a speakeasy type place Here They do have like a little speakeasy downstairs Which is called Bryant's But they don't have a menu Oh that's like it's really Neat you just like either order
What you want right can you or you're like Or you're like hey this is what I'm into And they'll fucking whip something Up for you at those places it's super Cool there's one in Paso Robles Which we go to all the time I mean Paso we go we've been speakeasy A few times but right after we got married
This is kind of our honeymoon because COVID shut Down our honeymoon we went to Paso You've only been married that long Yeah we got married 2019 September 2019 and our honeymoon Was going to be in March of 2020 Dang that's crazy Yeah that got fucked
So we took a little Mini trip thanks to My mom to Paso A little bit after our wedding Yeah thanks mom and they have a speakeasy there And so we went one night and loved it so much We went back the second night because we made friends with the main Bartender who's also like some whiskey bourbon
Expert okay and so We were just chatting and telling that we liked whiskey And whiskey cocktails and such He goes do you trust me and I was like What's my option and so He was just making us drinks He goes look I'm going to make you drinks all night If there's any you truly don't like I won't charge you for them
And so he just made us drinks all night He's like he hand me one over like hey I'm working on this What do you think how could I tweak it make it better We got so shittered And it was so good and I couldn't even So did you like all of them? Not 100% and I told him I was like look I'm not a fan of this one it's too you know
Whatever and maybe that's me Maybe that's the drink I don't know I was fairly honest with them but for the most part They were really good That's awesome yeah it was fun Anyway enough about cocktails that's a different show Oh hey Flex what's your favorite cocktail? Well Greg thanks for asking
If I'm not drinking beer From you know 10 minutes ago When I asked you what your favorite Go to cocktail was I would say that mine's probably A dirty jib martini Oh well we've talked about that That's why I didn't ask
Well geez I'm just kidding Three olives not two That's a fucking meal Three olives Jesus I can't stand olives Well first of all you need to get with it You need an olive Like you take a sip of the drink
And you eat the olive Then you get halfway through the drink And you eat the second olive And then you finish your drink And you eat the last olive It's a story telling of olives That's what it is Once upon a time there was a Flex who liked olives
And dirty jib martinis Yeah Extra dirty if you're lucky Daddy So much daddy I am a dick and I just I'm a dick sorry No you're not it made me laugh
You make me laugh Alright we're not the booze league What do we got Let's talk about beer over here Before we get to ludicrous libation law The aforementioned Brian of Titletown Brewing Did call in I think he may have been a little buzzed
And left us a voicemail Here is Brian Hello no one is available to take your call Please leave a message after the tone Hey Craft Beer Republic It's Brian from Titletown calling First time in a long time I just want to say thanks so much for the trade
We got to talk about Beer lunches When I worked in the private sector Beer lunches a big deal It definitely was but now that I'm a spoiled brat I can have a beer At lunch anytime that I want to Not to rub it in your face
That's just how it goes We're going to have one tomorrow actually With Flex We're really looking forward to that More importantly It's about taking it easy And not overdoing it When you're in the industry
That's one of the more important things to do I can't imagine a guy from the US Brewing Drinking while you're brewing I can't even imagine that That sounds insane I'm really glad they're getting wasted There's a lot of I's and P's
That are cut off in dots When you're doing that stuff I'm glad they're not doing anything like that And still making a good juice I hope you guys Have more beer lunches in the future They're absolutely fantastic Very spoiled over here
On my end But I love them dearly And every one is very special Still hasn't gotten old yet Which is nice, I'm sure someday I'm going to wake up And not want to drink beer on a Monday at lunch We'll see when that happens I have a feeling it's going to be a long time
Anyway, give a shout out to everyone's homie Chew Your Beer I need to drink a beer with this guy I don't know how this is going to happen But maybe someday when my kids are all grown up And go to college And I have the house free again And I'm free to travel
Maybe we can make it happen Take care guys, talk to you later Sounds like Flex talking about traveling Brian knows what's up man Also you don't have a beer with Chew Your Beer You have many beers And Persola Oh god, so good
Brian does not overdo it with lunch beers Sorry to hear that We did And he did write some off For us Well it's work He's kind of a boss So yeah
We had some Imperial Porter By Titletown It was some 9% and you would have thought it was like a Fucking 5% It was crazy easy drinking, real robust You know, it's just a great porter Like Holy Smokes But then he goes from a 9% to like a
You know, like a 6.5% He's got a long way to drive Gotta balance things out You don't want to be stupid And he's still working And I really respect that But I went from the 9% to the 10.5% Yeah you did
Because I didn't have far to drive Right, because you've got an algorithm to uphold Well yeah, you've got to uphold the algorithm It's literally how I live my life Yeah, one algorithm Sorry Oh, thanks Dom Thanks
Thanks Brian for calling in, 805-538-BEER 2337 if you want to call, leave a voicemail Maybe we can Get Brian Chu's number And Chu Brian's number And you guys can have a little bromance or something Yeah, just have a chat fest Yeah, cross country bromance
Go nuts Ludacris Libation Law, thanks to listener Chris And this comes from Michigan Which I'm assuming he must live in Michigan So he says it's illegal for diners To take home unfinished bottles Of wine or alcoholic beverages And I thought, where is that legal?
Yeah, is that Is that a thing? You have to like just pop a cork in it and take it home? Yeah, what? Yeah, that wasn't so ludicrous to me I didn't know you could just go to dinner Order a fucking bottle of Jack Like well I only drank half of it
And we're heading out of this place I mean like the only thing I can think of is like Like a wedding, right? If you got a place and there's a wedding That's just stealing bottles of wine, I've done that Bring in like X amount of bottles of wine And say like Hey this
You know, you got what like 13 waiters Going around at a wedding? At least, yeah Right, so maybe you have like 13 half empty bottles of wine I don't know, I'm just trying to Who knows I think I've heard of this I want to say like
Florida or Louisiana where You can buy a bottle of wine And not finish it And like cork it and take it home Somewhere down south like that But this said wine or alcoholic beverage So I'm thinking you could get a bottle of whiskey You know, drink a quarter of it
And then take the rest home Even the wine thing is foreign to me California is like no open anything you asshole Yeah You are not to be trusted Yeah, that's basically how Wisconsin is too It's like, you know, I don't want to brag About this but we're like the number one drunk driving
State in the country Yeah per capita, good job That's why you're in a title town Definitely not leaving with anything Open Too many people are, that's why you're not Yeah, so I'm going to be honest This wasn't ludicrous, this sounded normal
I didn't know this was a thing So if someone could enlighten us I don't know if there's some state Where if you order a beer you can't order a shot With it or something like that Oh, is that a thing? What's that George Thorogood song There's like one shot, one whiskey, one beer
Yeah Or the Stone Cold promo I had a beer, what, and another beer, what Shot of tequila, what Yeah, what if there was like an actual state Where it's like if you order a beer You can't order a shot of alcohol with it Or if you order a shot of alcohol you can't order a beer with it
That would be interesting That would be interesting because a beer and a shot Is the same as having two beers essentially Yeah, essentially I mean if you spread them over a couple hours, equal amount of time Yeah But I know for a while, I don't know how Dodge Or Stadium is
But you could only order one beer Per person for a while At like the Milwaukee Park Or then it went to like two beers Per person And then sometimes if the Person behind like the counter is a Shithead, they will make
If you're ordering two beers, they'll make The other person pull out their ID And I actually got Oh, Dodger Stadium will do that I actually got Refused to serve because You know, we've all seen Superbad, right Yes
And when McLovin goes into the liquor store to buy the alcohol And they ask for his ID and he goes Oh, it makes me feel young again Right That's the line I used And the girl behind the counter looked at me and she goes I'm not serving you Just because I said that
Isn't that obnoxious? That is bullshit Yeah, it's like she should have been the one not getting served Yeah How stingy Makes me feel young again, got me not served at Of all the things to get you not served Isn't that bizarre
That is hilarious Shame on you, Stadium, formerly known as Miller Park Yeah Whatever it's called now, Family Something or other No, it's the stadium, formerly known as Miller Park Got it It's much better Real quick, I just wanted to say

Why are you on a rooftop Buying a $200 beer when you can Go somewhere else That's just crazy Yeah, roof or otherwise That's crazy You could spend like $60 Get a ticket for a
High Roller Bar seat In the Ferris wheel And drink as much as you want For $60 Flex, you are my soul mate Right? Why the fuck are you not doing that? That is
Money well spent And here's what we've done every time we've gone on the High Roller coaster High Roller Ferris wheel There's always a Groupon No one uses Groupon anymore I've never even thought about that I've actually stopped getting Groupon
Emails so I wouldn't think they exist anymore But I don't even know if they do Last time I was in Vegas was just pre-COVID But anytime I've been to the High Roller I've checked Groupon, there's been a Groupon For it, so it's like half off Or like 40% off For the drinking
Ferris wheel thing And you get your Fucking drink on But we did the math, we went with a group Once and there was no Groupon One of the four times there was no Groupon And we did the math and you had to walk off Having had six drinks
In order to make it Break even That's a lot of drinks, because it's only like a 30 30 minutes So it's a drink every Five minutes We made a vow Us dudes, it was a bunch of couples
But the guys were like We're gonna do this We better have six drinks or bust Three of the four of us, one of them being me Walked off with our seventh Drink. Wow Because they let you walk off You can get one right before you get out
So talk about algorithms I got my money's worth. That's a lot of alcohol In 30 minutes though. It was a lot of alcohol It sounds like you're puking your brains out Yeah, it's fine, Jack and Diets, come on Keep them coming, that's my Vegas drink Because I don't want to drink Bud Lights Jack and Diet. The National
Advertising Division told Molson Coors To stop using its Light Beer Shouldn't Taste Like Water Advertising Campaign They say that water taste Is measurable and more than just an opinion And They can't do it
What's your opinion on that? What do you think about water? I think it's funny Because they're very much implying that Bud Light tastes like water Well, yeah, I'm asking Your actual opinion on The taste of water itself Water doesn't taste like anything. Water tastes like water
But you know it's mental, right? When people talk about different Water brands Like Dasani to Aquafina To Pure Life I'm definitely a Dasani guy, but I will say That where I grew up, the water
In the tap tastes like Absolute butthole and not in a Sexy way. I'm turned off right now Yeah, but like if we go to Mammoth The water tastes delicious Or you go to Colorado. Oh, Colorado tap Water is so good At least compared to where I'm from
I think we have good tap water where I'm from I mean, I drink it every day I find that snowy places have better Tap water. You think that's like science? It's Greg science It's the best kind of science Yeah I've got a lab coat
I do actually own a lab coat. I can put it on and say it again I believe that. I bet you have goggles too I don't think I have goggles But I do have a lab coat You gotta get you some goggles. I'll work on that I'll work on that When was the last time you had a domestic Light beer? The last time I was in Las Vegas
I had a Bud Light And I thought, you know I could spend, it was something like 12 bucks on a Bud Light or like 16 bucks on a fucking Goose Island IPA Of Budweiser And I'm like, you know, I'm gonna go Bud Light Cause that sounds like garbage
And I forgot how bad they were Yeah, they're bad I forgot what my brother-in-law gave me the other day I went over to his house There was some birthday party for my nephew And he usually has like A bunch of spotted cow on hand Cause sometimes he likes a good beer in between
Making the California people jealous Yeah, like a shitty beer And so I had one spotted cow And it must have been the only spotted cow In the fridge And I said, hey, you wanna get me another beer? And he said, hey, how about this Coors Light? And I said, yeah, I guess
I think Coors Light is my least favorite Of the light macros It's just so Talk about water It's like if water drank beer And threw it up You know, I stand corrected I had banquet beers
At Coley's house Okay It was like lockdown I forget, it's been a few years But I forget, I think we ran out of good beer And there were some banquets in the fridge or something Okay And I definitely had some banquets
Those are probably like the best of the shit beer Okay, I've never actually had a banquet Have a banquet I owe it to myself Don't have a case of banquets, but have a banquet Yeah It's like the best of the worst Okay, I'll try it
And I'll let you know my findings, my research I will, it's science Speaking of, I gotta Well, not even speaking of science I just gotta tell you this funny story So I went to a concert a couple weeks back And I did not get a black eye Right, so I just have to
Mark that for the record It was a great concert But I was actually not gonna drink at all during the concert Because You know, sometimes it just gets a little too wild And it's the black eyes And I drove my friends down there And one of my buddies was like, hey

And it was only a 12 ounce can It was kind of lame, but My friends like to joke on me about being a Quote unquote influencer A beer fluencer It's a fun thing to do And while he was not even halfway through his Beer, I was done with mine
And he looks at me and he goes Wow, I can really tell you're a professional beer drinker Because I'm not even Halfway done with this And it's 9.9% Is it really? That's what it says Wow, that makes sense But, you know
