You know I'm going to love this 48 00:02:39,020 --> 00:02:40,139 one. Do you 49 00:02:40,139 --> 00:02:44,580 know what this is just based off the can art? 50 00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:47,020 It's at Alaskan Brewery. 51 00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:54,800 Now, sorry, denied. I am drinking. What's it called? Anchorage? No, it's not 52 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,219 that. No, 53 00:02:56,219 --> 00:03:07,659 no, no. I am drinking. There does not exist. Spirit Molecule. 6.6% has a 396, 54 00:03:07,659 --> 00:03:09,150 only 168 55 00:03:09,150 --> 00:03:14,569 proteins. It is a hazy IPA. They say Spirit Molecule is a center of the 56 00:03:14,569 --> 00:03:15,409 universe style 57 00:03:15,409 --> 00:03:22,650 hazy IPA brewed with all the oats and wheat plus DMT. Just kidding, dude. There 58 00:03:22,650 --> 00:03:23,009 is absolutely 59 00:03:23,009 --> 00:03:28,520 zero DMT in this beer, even if it makes you feel like it. Hopped at life 60 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,449 changing levels 61 00:03:29,449 --> 00:03:36,610 with Citra, Cashmere, Comet, Nelson, and a touch of Columbus Cryo. It's got all 62 00:03:36,610 --> 00:03:37,389 the heavy 63 00:03:37,389 --> 00:03:42,479 overripe tropical fruit you could want. Plus some dank hippie lettuce to 64 00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:44,229 balance. Go ahead, 65 00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:48,490 friend. Take the trip. We're here for you. 66 00:03:48,490 --> 00:03:54,360 Been hanging out with the writers at Stone. On the schnoz, a lot of that 67 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,349 tropical fruit 68 00:03:55,349 --> 00:04:03,740 they reference. Like some ripe mango. Maybe some peach in there, a little bit 69 00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:05,110 of dankness. 70 00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:09,009 Let's do the real work here and stick in the old tongue job. Dig right in. Okay 71 00:04:09,009 --> 00:04:09,469 , so the 72 00:04:09,469 --> 00:04:15,379 tropical fruit is delicious. And here's where Flex would get a little hard on. 73 00:04:15,379 --> 00:04:16,509 Got a little 74 00:04:16,509 --> 00:04:21,730 bit of that hot burn after the tropics. I'm a little bit hard on. A little semi 75 00:04:21,730 --> 00:04:22,189 going 76 00:04:22,189 --> 00:04:25,990 on, a little half chup. And then it finishes off a little dank and it just 77 00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:26,949 coats the tongue 78 00:04:26,949 --> 00:04:32,939 with that sticky icky. Man, I love me some hot burny dank IPAs. Yeah, it is 79 00:04:32,939 --> 00:04:33,829 good. As 80 00:04:33,829 --> 00:04:39,069 you can see, it is a proper hazy. It is gorgeous. It's leaving quite the lacing 81 00:04:39,069 --> 00:04:39,870 . Yeah, some 82 00:04:39,870 --> 00:04:49,970 great lacing. It's oowee as they say. So of course I took a little trip up 83 00:04:49,970 --> 00:04:52,050 north-ish and 84 00:04:52,050 --> 00:04:56,829 went wakeboarding, but had to stop in at There Does Not Exist. Naturally. Yeah, 85 00:04:56,829 --> 00:04:57,310 we had the 86 00:04:57,310 --> 00:05:01,360 day off. We took a day off. We were going to go on the lake a day early to 87 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:01,709 avoid the 88 00:05:01,709 --> 00:05:04,910 crowds going on on Friday, but we were going up to my sister's house to go wake 89 00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:05,430 boarding 90 00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:12,939 with her and her husband. Did you know she got married? Yeah. Not very well 91 00:05:12,939 --> 00:05:14,189 known. And 92 00:05:14,189 --> 00:05:18,329 she had to work that day instead. So we just went up, made our way up there, 93 00:05:18,329 --> 00:05:18,990 stopped at 94 00:05:18,990 --> 00:05:23,629 There Does Not Exist and had a beverage. You know what? We're so cheap. We 95 00:05:23,629 --> 00:05:24,629 stopped at Costco, 96 00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:30,120 which is not too far. And we got gas and some hot dogs. No, some hot dogs. And 97 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:30,870 we took the 98 00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:33,519 hot dogs order. There Does Not Exist and had lunch and beer because they don't 99 00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:33,949 have food 100 00:05:33,949 --> 00:05:39,410 there. Oh, hey, that is well, it's great. Yeah, worked out well. So then went 101 00:05:39,410 --> 00:05:39,910 up, got 102 00:05:39,910 --> 00:05:45,189 some wakeboarding in. Oh my God, I totally forgot about this story until just 103 00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:46,029 now. So 104 00:05:46,029 --> 00:05:48,569 we got some wakeboarding on Friday night when we got up there. We didn't wake 105 00:05:48,569 --> 00:05:49,269 board on Friday. 106 00:05:49,269 --> 00:05:52,910 We did a little wine tasting. You know, we're wine club members at a bunch of 107 00:05:52,910 --> 00:05:53,550 places, so 108 00:05:53,550 --> 00:05:58,290 between all of them. Kind of a big deal. Kind of a big deal. I got badges and 109 00:05:58,290 --> 00:05:58,790 shit. Between 110 00:05:58,790 --> 00:06:02,579 the two groups, the two couples, we can do some pretty good free drinking 111 00:06:02,579 --> 00:06:03,110 around town 112 00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:07,170 where she lives in Paso. And we had a couple of wine tastings. We're not, you 113 00:06:07,170 --> 00:06:07,470 know, we're 114 00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:11,420 not drunk by any stretch. We hit up the grocery store to get some dinner to 115 00:06:11,420 --> 00:06:12,269 take back and 116 00:06:12,269 --> 00:06:16,250 make. And I was like, oh, let's get a couple bottles of wine to cap off the 117 00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:17,470 night. I shit 118 00:06:17,470 --> 00:06:21,509 you not, I'm walking back to the car. The wife stayed in the car because we had 119 00:06:21,589 --> 00:06:25,290 dog with us. And she said something out the window like, oh, you got wine. And 120 00:06:25,290 --> 00:06:25,910 I went, 121 00:06:25,910 --> 00:06:29,959 oh yeah. And I raised the bottles up in the air. Like, yeah, I got wine. I 122 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:31,430 dropped one. 123 00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:37,600 Oh no. Shattered all over the parking lot. No man. It just, it looked like a 124 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,029 fucking 125 00:06:38,029 --> 00:06:41,870 murder scene. So I, I actually picked it up. I was like, I felt so bad. I was 126 00:06:41,870 --> 00:06:42,430 like, I don't 127 00:06:42,430 --> 00:06:45,819 want a car to run over this and pop their tires or something. So what a great 128 00:06:45,819 --> 00:06:46,230 human 129 00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:50,089 you are. I picked it all up, threw it away. Uh, some dude and his Tesla was 130 00:06:50,089 --> 00:06:50,750 watching the 131 00:06:50,750 --> 00:06:56,319 entire thing. I was so embarrassed. I feel like such a fucking, I wasn't even 132 00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:57,350 drunk. 133 00:06:57,350 --> 00:07:01,889 Accidents happen. I know. I feel like a dumb shit, but uh, yeah. Also alcohol 134 00:07:01,889 --> 00:07:02,430 abuse. There's 135 00:07:02,430 --> 00:07:06,470 the bottle of wine sitting on the parking lot. Now you lick any of it up and a 136 00:07:06,470 --> 00:07:06,910 little 137 00:07:06,910 --> 00:07:13,939 Zamboni action, gross. Oh, so pissed. And then, uh, next day, well next two 138 00:07:13,939 --> 00:07:14,589 days, Saturday 139 00:07:14,589 --> 00:07:18,790 and Sunday did some wakeboarding. Um, as this episode drops, I don't, I think I 140 00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:19,389 've posted 141 00:07:19,389 --> 00:07:24,899 it already. Uh, I did try to do a little photo shoot out on the wakeboard with 142 00:07:24,899 --> 00:07:25,870 a beer. No 143 00:07:25,870 --> 00:07:30,329 way. I thought that'd be funny for the Graham, uh, brought out a, um, fuck, 144 00:07:30,329 --> 00:07:31,230 what was it? 145 00:07:31,230 --> 00:07:35,290 Humble C. I brought out a humble C that I just found in the fridge. And I was 146 00:07:35,290 --> 00:07:35,430 trying 147 00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:38,470 to figure out like, how am I going to get up on this wakeboard one handed? 148 00:07:38,470 --> 00:07:38,990 Cause I'm, 149 00:07:38,990 --> 00:07:43,019 you know, I'm strong, but not that strong. And plus I was so, it was so tired 150 00:07:43,019 --> 00:07:43,350 as the 151 00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:47,649 last run of the day. So I ended up like tucking it in my life vest, which was 152 00:07:47,649 --> 00:07:48,550 very cold. And 153 00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:54,449 I got up, pulled it out. So hard. So at this point, like once I'm up out of the 154 00:07:54,449 --> 00:07:54,709 water, 155 00:07:54,709 --> 00:07:58,129 like I've, you know, I'm one handing the rope. In fact, I've got it like in the 156 00:07:58,129 --> 00:07:58,709 crux of my 157 00:07:58,709 --> 00:08:02,009 elbow. I'm just hanging on the handle that way. I'm opening the can, I'm 158 00:08:02,009 --> 00:08:02,829 drinking it. 159 00:08:02,829 --> 00:08:07,009 Uh, it was like a two year old beer that I just found in the back of the fridge 160 00:08:07,009 --> 00:08:07,389 . And 161 00:08:07,389 --> 00:08:11,430 it was supposed to be a hazy IPA at that point. Like all the Hayes had dropped. 162 00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:11,670 And this is 163 00:08:11,670 --> 00:08:14,910 not a shot at humble Z cause I love their, their murkies. They're great. But, 164 00:08:14,910 --> 00:08:15,430 um, we're 165 00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:19,839 foggy fog. He's right. Yeah. They're great. But, uh, it did not age. Well, it 166 00:08:19,839 --> 00:08:20,310 was definitely 167 00:08:20,310 --> 00:08:23,879 a dino and I'm out there and I didn't realize how old it was. So afterwards I 168 00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:24,230 looked at 169 00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:27,899 the date and, uh, I go to take my first sip as a weight board and I'm like, 170 00:08:27,899 --> 00:08:28,629 yeah, here 171 00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:35,370 we go. And I like go to fucking pound it. I was like, but like I was spinning 172 00:08:35,370 --> 00:08:35,789 out dust. 173 00:08:35,789 --> 00:08:40,100 Yeah. I was not expecting that level of bitterness cause it said, Hey, or a fog 174 00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:40,829 gy on the front 175 00:08:40,829 --> 00:08:45,539 of the can. I was like, Oh God. Oh man. That's hilarious. Yeah. So if you haven 176 00:08:45,539 --> 00:08:45,990 't seen it, 177 00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:50,519 go check the gram for photos of me pretending I was drinking the beer, uh, 178 00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:52,029 while wakeboarding. 179 00:08:52,029 --> 00:08:56,289 I'd never done that before. And it was, uh, it was an experience, something you 180 00:08:56,350 --> 00:09:00,889 put on your resume now. Exactly. My alcoholic resume and now includes wake 181 00:09:00,889 --> 00:09:01,830 boarding one handed 182 00:09:01,830 --> 00:09:05,190 while drinking a beer. So I'm still working on a, I don't know if I ever told 183 00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:05,470 you I got 184 00:09:05,470 --> 00:09:10,049 a long board for father's day. Oh yeah. You did tell me that. Yeah. So, uh, I 185 00:09:10,049 --> 00:09:10,809 know maple 186 00:09:10,809 --> 00:09:17,250 wood brewing and Illinois, they have a beer called sidewalk surfer. I might 187 00:09:17,250 --> 00:09:17,909 even had it 188 00:09:17,909 --> 00:09:24,870 on the show once. And, uh, my goal is to drink this beer. We'll long boarding. 189 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:25,090 We need to 190 00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:29,090 make it happen. And I feel like that would be like the coolest thing ever. Yeah 191 00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:29,389 . Yeah. 192 00:09:29,389 --> 00:09:33,820 Put it in your life vest first. That's what, well, or like a helmet.

But that's what your story reminded me of is I eventually got to do 195 00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:39,309 this, but 196 00:09:39,309 --> 00:09:44,049 I'm so scared. I'm looking.

Um, so yeah 199 00:09:49,950 --> 00:09:50,389 , so that 200 00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:54,440 was fun. God poured beer at one point. Like I got back in the boat and the wife 201 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:54,789 's like, 202 00:09:54,789 --> 00:09:57,720 I thought she goes, why are you pouring beer all over yourself? Like I thought 203 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:57,909 you were 204 00:09:57,909 --> 00:10:00,240 doing some wrestling, like, or not pouring, but like spitting beer out. She's 205 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:00,509 like, why 206 00:10:00,509 --> 00:10:03,039 are you spitting the beer out? Were you doing like some wrestling thing? I was 207 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:04,070 like, no, 208 00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:09,610 I took a giant fucking drink and was very surprised that what ended up in my 209 00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:10,429 mouth. 210 00:10:10,429 --> 00:10:14,950 That's what she said. The fact that your wife is like, Oh, he, he went on his 211 00:10:14,950 --> 00:10:15,710 wake board 212 00:10:15,710 --> 00:10:20,120 and he did a triple H impression. She doesn't know enough to know that it was a 213 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,690 triple H 214 00:10:20,690 --> 00:10:25,110 impression, but it says a lot about you though. I thought you were doing a 215 00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:26,830 wrestling thing. 216 00:10:26,830 --> 00:10:32,159 I mean, who says I wasn't, that's the best part of the whole story. I am the 217 00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:33,490 game. It's 218 00:10:33,490 --> 00:10:38,419 all about the game. Oh man. Yeah. Good times. Good times.

It's hot. 225 00:10:58,639 --> 00:10:58,909 It's very 226 00:10:58,909 --> 00:11:03,600 hot, especially in Southern. Uh, Minkler apparently is like 20 miles East of 227 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,870 Fresno. 228 00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:10,309 So thanks Minkler for Fres.

You know how we're always topping the charts in 232 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,820 Finland. 233 00:11:22,820 --> 00:11:28,659 Constantly. Yeah. We topped some Romanian podcast charts last couple of weeks. 234 00:11:28,659 --> 00:11:34,639 is happening? Yeah. It's very weird. Like a couple of episodes charted as well 235 00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:35,220 as the 236 00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:41,240 show overall. Um, so Hey Romania, if you're listening, thanks for listening. 237 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:41,539 That's kind 238 00:11:41,539 --> 00:11:46,629 of cool. Um, I don't know. I'm trying to figure it out. Do you ever see Roman 239 00:11:46,629 --> 00:11:47,259 ians? It just 240 00:11:47,259 --> 00:11:52,009 makes me think of, uh, the movie Eurotrip. I love Eurotrip. And it's such a 241 00:11:52,009 --> 00:11:53,139 cult classic 242 00:11:53,139 --> 00:11:58,789 for me. Uh, but when they go to like Eastern Europe and everybody is like 20 243 00:11:58,789 --> 00:11:59,779 years behind 244 00:11:59,779 --> 00:12:04,100 the times, you know, and the ladies wearing like the where, or the guy comes 245 00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:04,860 out and he's 246 00:12:04,860 --> 00:12:11,509 like, Hey, where's the beef? You know, he's like, Miami Vice, number one, new 247 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:14,399 show just 248 00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:18,120 makes me think that there's some kind of like time warp where it's just like 249 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,539 crappy Republic. 250 00:12:19,539 --> 00:12:24,259 It's like the number one podcast. There's still listening to episode three over 251 00:12:24,259 --> 00:12:25,379 there. 252 00:12:25,379 --> 00:12:30,350 Crappy Republic. Number one, new show. I hope that's what's happening over 253 00:12:30,350 --> 00:12:31,100 there. Hopefully. 254 00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:36,720 Yeah. So Hey Romania, what's up? But not to, you know, overshadow. Hi Finland. 255 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,019 Still love 256 00:12:37,019 --> 00:12:41,879 you guys too. I will do some Romanian deadlifts. So in, in lieu of this 257 00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:43,179 accomplishment, that's 258 00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:48,250 very, um, commending commendable of you. It's a real exercise, Greg.

Really 307 00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:12,419 ? In Wisconsin? 308 00:15:12,419 --> 00:15:17,289 Yeah. That's surprising. It's like a huge ordinance. Can't buy alcohol till 9am 309 00:15:17,289 --> 00:15:17,419 . But 310 00:15:17,419 --> 00:15:21,029 they don't cut you off till 8am.

They're like, I'm pretty sure there's like, it's ordinance by 329 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,620 County, but 330 00:16:11,620 --> 00:16:15,019 they're like, I don't think that's a thing. So I'm sure it's not. If I went to 331 00:16:15,019 --> 00:16:15,659 the register 332 00:16:15,659 --> 00:16:24,019 and bought like five packs of alcohol, I'll take five alcohols, please.

That 337 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:35,659 was funny. 338 00:16:35,659 --> 00:16:39,379 I also heard another Canadian story that at the store, I don't know if it still 339 00:16:39,379 --> 00:16:39,860 exists, 340 00:16:39,860 --> 00:16:43,580 but this is like a story from the nineties when you go to buy a Tylenol, it's 341 00:16:43,580 --> 00:16:44,379 not Tylenol. 342 00:16:44,379 --> 00:16:47,740 It's actually coding. Come on. Yeah. David Spade was talking about this on his 343 00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:48,340 podcast. 344 00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:52,759 He's like, I didn't know I was getting so high.

Oh 363 00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:09,109 , so this 364 00:18:09,109 --> 00:18:14,359 is kind of neat. It's a hazy IPA series and it seems that they do like a single 365 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:14,869 hop in 366 00:18:14,869 --> 00:18:20,529 it. Oh, I like that. I was lucky enough to come across the cashmere hop. Oh 367 00:18:20,529 --> 00:18:22,190 fuck. Yes. 368 00:18:22,190 --> 00:18:27,500 Yeah. I, I, again, I saw this beer.

Um, so, uh, apparently it must be 371 00:18:32,420 --> 00:18:33,789 relatively new 372 00:18:33,789 --> 00:18:39,700 or people just haven't rated it, but only 201 chickens. Okay. So maybe I got 373 00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:40,549 some fresh 374 00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:48,289 of the fresh and those St. Louis are like fucking cashmere again. Who needs it? 375 00:18:48,289 --> 00:18:48,990 Uh, 376 00:18:48,990 --> 00:18:53,460 but it did three, eight, six rating. Okay. So, you know, still respectable for 377 00:18:53,460 --> 00:18:54,109 whatever 378 00:18:54,109 --> 00:19:00,140 above average 201 ratings. Yeah. It says scale of complexity. Cashmere, the 10 379 00:19:00,140 --> 00:19:00,750 th in our rotating 380 00:19:00,750 --> 00:19:04,869 series of hazy IPAs is heavily dry hopped with cashmere hops resulting in a 381 00:19:04,869 --> 00:19:05,509 beer with 382 00:19:05,509 --> 00:19:10,869 lower bitterness, but massive aromas and flavors of zesty lime, ripe berries 383 00:19:10,869 --> 00:19:12,109 and lemon peel. 384 00:19:12,109 --> 00:19:19,660 So I'm going to tell you what, Greg, tell me, crack the can. And I always sniff 385 00:19:19,660 --> 00:19:19,829 . Do 386 00:19:19,829 --> 00:19:24,480 you sniff the can after you crack it or do you wait to pour it before you, um, 387 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,509 I generally 388 00:19:25,509 --> 00:19:31,480 wait till it's been poured, I would say. Okay. So I always smell after cracking 389 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,190 the can. 390 00:19:32,190 --> 00:19:39,549 Okay. To then see if there's anything to differentiate from can to pour. Hmm. 391 00:19:39,549 --> 00:19:41,509 Right. Okay. I find 392 00:19:41,509 --> 00:19:45,200 that my nose isn't that great, so I need my wide open glass in order to fucking 393 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,470 smell. 394 00:19:46,470 --> 00:19:50,619 Don't do that to yourself. I like your stuff. You have a great nose. Oh, thanks 395 00:19:50,619 --> 00:19:52,029 . It's wonderful. 396 00:19:52,029 --> 00:19:58,750 So I crack the can and I pick up a lot of malt character. Hmm. Right. So I'm 397 00:19:58,750 --> 00:20:00,670 disappointed. 398 00:20:00,670 --> 00:20:04,480 Immediately I'm disappointed. Right? Like where's this going? So then I pour 399 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:04,950 the beer 400 00:20:04,950 --> 00:20:09,359 out. Boy, I pick up on a lot of malt character again, Greg. I'm starting to 401 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,269 lose it. I am 402 00:20:11,269 --> 00:20:18,619 starting to lose my fucking mind. Right. So then we warm up the old tongue jab 403 00:20:18,619 --> 00:20:20,549 ber. Oh 404 00:20:20,549 --> 00:20:26,440 yeah. Never gets old, even though it probably should. Here's where it gets me. 405 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:26,809 It says it's 406 00:20:26,809 --> 00:20:32,670 got like the lime flavor, the berry, the lemon peel. It comes through in the 407 00:20:32,670 --> 00:20:33,890 flavor. Oh, 408 00:20:33,890 --> 00:20:38,650 like it's wild. There's a little bit of, of malt character, uh, like in the 409 00:20:38,650 --> 00:20:39,569 background. 410 00:20:39,569 --> 00:20:45,400 Like an appropriate amount. Right. It doesn't overpower what it is. Um, and it 411 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,130 says it is 412 00:20:46,130 --> 00:20:53,160 a hazy IPA and it's hazy. It's 6.5%. So it's, it's a little bit on the lighter 413 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,170 side, but 414 00:20:54,170 --> 00:21:00,299 this is, it is what it is. Like it's what they tell you it is. So it super 415 00:21:00,299 --> 00:21:01,849 solid beer. 416 00:21:01,849 --> 00:21:06,599 They did a good job on it. I don't know why there's so much malt on the aroma, 417 00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:07,369 but yeah, 418 00:21:07,369 --> 00:21:14,210 the flavors come through and it's, it's not as juicy as I would prefer a hazy. 419 00:21:14,210 --> 00:21:14,849 Okay. But 420 00:21:14,849 --> 00:21:20,440 it is a, it's a good beer. I would drink this beer again. I have had this beer 421 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:21,130 before the 422 00:21:21,130 --> 00:21:27,500 show so I have had it again. Right. Um, I would have it again and again. How 423 00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:27,930 did the 424 00:21:27,930 --> 00:21:32,759 St. Louis beers stack up to your algorithm? How was the pricing down there? Oh 425 00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:34,250 shit, man. 426 00:21:34,250 --> 00:21:37,170 I forgot to tell you about this shit. By the way, if you ever heard about Flex 427 00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:38,130 's trip last 428 00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:43,599 week, we talk all about it. So I, the first time I bought beer at or in St. 429 00:21:43,599 --> 00:21:43,930 Louis was 430 00:21:43,930 --> 00:21:50,440 at four hands and I grabbed two, four packs there. I grabbed a hoodie and then 431 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:50,970 I had a 432 00:21:50,970 --> 00:21:56,279 beer and then we bought like some french fries and tater tots and shit for the 433 00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:56,970 kids. And 434 00:21:56,970 --> 00:22:02,250 it was like the whole bill was like 70 bucks. The sweatshirt was only like 30. 435 00:22:02,250 --> 00:22:02,890 Holy shit. 436 00:22:02,890 --> 00:22:07,109 I'm just like, what's happening here? Sweatshirts out here like 70 bucks. Yeah. 437 00:22:07,109 --> 00:22:07,569 No, believe 438 00:22:07,569 --> 00:22:10,519 me when I got the receipt and I was just like, Oh holy shit, I would have 439 00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:11,210 bought two. They 440 00:22:11,210 --> 00:22:14,720 forgot something. So then, um, I didn't even look at the price of the four 441 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,650 packs, right? 442 00:22:15,650 --> 00:22:18,789 I'm just kind of like, okay, this is kind of weird. Then, uh, we stopped at one 443 00:22:18,789 --> 00:22:19,210 of these 444 00:22:19,210 --> 00:22:25,069 schnucks one morning we were heading out to the Purina pet farm that they have 445 00:22:25,069 --> 00:22:25,970 out there, 446 00:22:25,970 --> 00:22:28,869 which is kind of, it was, it was neat. I didn't talk about it last week, but 447 00:22:28,869 --> 00:22:29,410 they like train 448 00:22:29,410 --> 00:22:33,740 the dogs and they have like this whole dog show and like the agility thing and 449 00:22:33,740 --> 00:22:34,089 the pool 450 00:22:34,089 --> 00:22:37,400 diving shit like you. I didn't know they had that out there. Yeah, it's crazy. 451 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:37,730 It was really 452 00:22:37,730 --> 00:22:41,680 neat. That's a lot of headquarters in St. Louis. I figured out, well now I can 453 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:42,210 absolutely 454 00:22:42,210 --> 00:22:47,380 convince the wife to go between the Budweiser Clydesdales and the Purina farm 455 00:22:47,380 --> 00:22:47,930 and this is 456 00:22:47,930 --> 00:22:52,829 a no brainer. Yeah. And pretty solid beer. So then, so we stopped at one of 457 00:22:52,829 --> 00:22:53,890 these schnucks 458 00:22:53,890 --> 00:22:58,480 and I'm perusing the beer aisle, you know, and I talked to the guys and um, 459 00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,210 they were 460 00:22:59,210 --> 00:23:04,549 kind of rude, but, uh, I'm pulling out some beers and I had to get out someone 461 00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:05,130 tapped 462 00:23:05,130 --> 00:23:09,349 on some and just, you know, cause I wasn't familiar with too many of the brewer 463 00:23:09,349 --> 00:23:10,329 ies. Sure. 464 00:23:10,329 --> 00:23:14,099 So I bought this four pack, uh, from second shift. I've never heard of second 465 00:23:14,099 --> 00:23:14,690 shift. I 466 00:23:14,690 --> 00:23:21,170 think I've heard of third shift. I think I've had second shift via Tavor. So I 467 00:23:21,170 --> 00:23:21,970 got this 468 00:23:21,970 --> 00:23:29,170 triple dry hopped double IPA. It was 8% 12 and 99 for a four back for a four 469 00:23:29,170 --> 00:23:29,769 back. So 470 00:23:29,769 --> 00:23:34,869 then Tavor is ripping us off. It's like that much for a beer. Jesus. So then I 471 00:23:34,869 --> 00:23:35,289 told you 472 00:23:35,289 --> 00:23:39,579 I found that, uh, maybe I didn't tell you on air. Um, I found the volume. We, 473 00:23:39,579 --> 00:23:40,130 we have 474 00:23:40,130 --> 00:23:43,759 a, I had a couple of these Voltron series. Oh yeah. We were talking about the 475 00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:44,329 forehands 476 00:23:44,329 --> 00:23:50,170 and uh, they collab with the brewery and uh, five Voltron bots, five beers. 477 00:23:50,170 --> 00:23:50,730 Well I found 478 00:23:50,730 --> 00:23:57,079 the series five at this Schnucks. I'm just going to keep saying that. And it 479 00:23:57,079 --> 00:23:57,730 was a collab 480 00:23:57,730 --> 00:24:03,170 with tripping animals. Again, it's like a hazy IPA. They use, I think it was 481 00:24:03,170 --> 00:24:04,009 like Nelson 482 00:24:04,009 --> 00:24:08,039 and something else. And I'm, I'm a whore for Nelson and I'm also a whore for 483 00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:08,950 these Voltron 484 00:24:08,950 --> 00:24:17,259 series. Um, I think it's like 7% and it was like 1199, 1299. Okay. And I'm just 485 00:24:17,259 --> 00:24:17,849 like, 486 00:24:17,849 --> 00:24:23,400 if I lived in St. Louis, their beer prices are amazing. Yeah. And they fit the 487 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,230 algorithm 488 00:24:24,230 --> 00:24:29,140 perfectly. I'll send you a picture of the second shift can too. It looks wild. 489 00:24:29,140 --> 00:24:29,490 Just 490 00:24:29,490 --> 00:24:34,109 really well done. A little bit of abstract but simple at the same time. And uh, 491 00:24:34,109 --> 00:24:34,809 yeah, 492 00:24:34,809 --> 00:24:38,690 I guess St. Louis kills it with the beer price. Well, and that's pretty good 493 00:24:38,690 --> 00:24:39,130 for you to say 494 00:24:39,130 --> 00:24:43,490 because sometimes you talk about four pack prices in your hood. I'm like, that 495 00:24:43,490 --> 00:24:43,930 's it for 496 00:24:43,930 --> 00:24:49,579 four. Are you sure you didn't just buy two? Right, right. So it's clearly 497 00:24:49,579 --> 00:24:50,970 different, um, 498 00:24:50,970 --> 00:24:55,400 you know, from here to you. But I always thought it was really good here. Like 499 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,210 for most of 500 00:24:56,210 --> 00:24:59,410 the stuff we have, apparently it's better in St. Louis. I wonder if they have 501 00:24:59,410 --> 00:24:59,809 to compete 502 00:24:59,809 --> 00:25:03,930 with like Budweiser prices. So that also crossed my mind as well because when I 503 00:25:03,930 --> 00:25:04,529 stopped at 504 00:25:04,529 --> 00:25:08,309 heavy riff and I was talking to the wonderful beer tenders there, I said, Hey, 505 00:25:08,309 --> 00:25:08,970 I said, you 506 00:25:08,970 --> 00:25:13,529 guys distribute at all, you know, cause I just, I was pissed. I couldn't spend 507 00:25:13,529 --> 00:25:13,730 enough 508 00:25:13,730 --> 00:25:18,049 time there. So I just want to have more, more of their beers. Makes sense. And 509 00:25:18,049 --> 00:25:19,049 they said, 510 00:25:19,049 --> 00:25:24,990 uh, no, they said getting distribution around here is kind of hard. And I said, 511 00:25:24,990 --> 00:25:25,690 yeah, I 512 00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:32,059 said, I bet a and B doesn't make it easy on anybody. And one of the guys was 513 00:25:32,059 --> 00:25:32,970 like, no, 514 00:25:32,970 --> 00:25:39,509 they don't. I can't say anything too loud because we're bugged, but they don't. 515 00:25:39,509 --> 00:25:39,930 Yeah. 516 00:25:39,930 --> 00:25:45,180 So that, uh, it's a shame. It is a shame. It's a shame. It makes me wonder how 517 00:25:45,180 --> 00:25:45,509 four 518 00:25:45,509 --> 00:25:49,589 hands finds their way. Cause they, you know, they, we had the Voltron beers a 519 00:25:49,589 --> 00:25:50,170 couple of 520 00:25:50,170 --> 00:25:55,720 times out here. I've seen one other of their beers and a total wine, but well, 521 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:56,089 and not 522 00:25:56,089 --> 00:26:01,880 to get too nerdy, but Budweiser also has a distribution arm that is separate 523 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,609 from, you 524 00:26:02,609 --> 00:26:09,119 know, beer or like the beer making arm. Okay. So in theory, I think you could 525 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,130 distribute 526 00:26:10,130 --> 00:26:14,640 with Budweiser, but not be owned by Budweiser. Interesting. So if you could 527 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,089 convince them 528 00:26:15,089 --> 00:26:19,000 to carry your shit, then you might actually get some shelf space. I did not 529 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:19,769 know that 530 00:26:19,769 --> 00:26:26,650 like stone when stone sold Sapporo only bought the brewery. The distribution 531 00:26:26,650 --> 00:26:27,450 side of stone 532 00:26:27,450 --> 00:26:32,500 was a separate business and they still exist and they distribute. Now the funny 533 00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:32,769 thing is 534 00:26:32,769 --> 00:26:36,119 they still distribute stone, but they also distribute some local stuff around 535 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:36,490 me like 536 00:26:36,490 --> 00:26:41,680 tarantula Hill made West Enneagrin. They're all distributed by stone 537 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,170 distribution. Interesting. 538 00:26:43,170 --> 00:26:47,380 Yeah. It's, it's fucking weird. The whole like distributing and three tier 539 00:26:47,380 --> 00:26:48,049 system and 540 00:26:48,049 --> 00:26:52,259 all that shit. It's weird. It's all Budweiser's fault too. Again, that's all I 541 00:26:52,259 --> 00:26:52,769 could think 542 00:26:52,769 --> 00:26:58,630 of when I was there. Yeah. Thanks to prohibition. All right. Before we hear 543 00:26:58,630 --> 00:26:59,369 from Fontana gym 544 00:26:59,369 --> 00:27:03,920 and how angry he is at me real quick, got to mention magic mind. We've been 545 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:04,329 talking 546 00:27:04,329 --> 00:27:09,420 about them for a while. Add them to your morning routine. Have a cup of Joe, 547 00:27:09,420 --> 00:27:10,930 have a magic mind. 548 00:27:10,930 --> 00:27:15,329 You'll probably need less Joe and we all know we're tired of Joe. Actually I 549 00:27:15,329 --> 00:27:16,250 love coffee. 550 00:27:16,250 --> 00:27:20,730 But anyways, I take it. It's easy. It's one little shot. It's green. It's 551 00:27:20,730 --> 00:27:21,650 surprisingly 552 00:27:21,650 --> 00:27:27,869 pretty tasty. I think you can attest to that. I will attest it is not bad. Uh, 553 00:27:27,869 --> 00:27:28,049 it takes 554 00:27:28,049 --> 00:27:33,799 about half a second to drink this thing. Yeah. Um, then it works. If it takes 555 00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:34,769 more than that, 556 00:27:34,769 --> 00:27:38,609 then you need to work on your drinking skills. Oh, you need to work on maybe a 557 00:27:38,609 --> 00:27:39,369 lifestyle 558 00:27:39,369 --> 00:27:43,599 change. It's a very small, like I think it's like two ounces. It was a nice 559 00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:44,210 little shot 560 00:27:44,210 --> 00:27:48,690 in the morning with your coffee. Uh, helps the coffee last longer. I don't find 561 00:27:48,690 --> 00:27:48,930 that 562 00:27:48,930 --> 00:27:52,829 I'm reaching for energy drinks, you know, around one or two o'clock in the 563 00:27:52,829 --> 00:27:53,690 afternoon. 564 00:27:53,690 --> 00:27:56,769 Just keeps me going a little bit longer on that. I talked about this last week. 565 00:27:56,869 --> 00:28:02,480 my performance enhancing drug when it comes to trivia night. I do not miss my 566 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,690 magic mind 567 00:28:03,690 --> 00:28:08,150 when I'm doing trivia that night. Otherwise Deb and intern Brian may fire me 568 00:28:08,150 --> 00:28:08,650 from the 569 00:28:08,650 --> 00:28:13,039 team. I believe it. Yeah, they're, they're the best. Like they're so much 570 00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:13,569 better than 571 00:28:13,569 --> 00:28:18,650 we are. They're so fucking smart with the trivias. But uh, anyways, magic mind 572 00:28:18,650 --> 00:28:18,890 helps 573 00:28:18,890 --> 00:28:24,180 me not look stupid around Deb and Brian trivia. Yeah. Trivia, which is 574 00:28:24,180 --> 00:28:25,450 fantastic. I know it's 575 00:28:25,450 --> 00:28:30,160 helped you with your, uh, your memory stuff. Yeah. I feel like it, it really 576 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:30,630 clears out 577 00:28:30,630 --> 00:28:37,000 your headspace. Um, it dials you in. Yeah. The focus. Uh, don't forget your 578 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:37,650 lunch. It's 579 00:28:37,650 --> 00:28:44,049 there. You don't forget the lunch. I now, um, yeah, no, I, you know, I'm always 580 00:28:44,049 --> 00:28:44,930 skeptical 581 00:28:44,930 --> 00:28:49,769 about, uh, natural products, right? We're in the age of modern medicine, right? 582 00:28:49,769 --> 00:28:50,009 Yeah. 583 00:28:50,009 --> 00:28:54,119 You put a bunch of plants in something who knows, right? So, you know, the 584 00:28:54,119 --> 00:28:54,690 holistic to 585 00:28:54,690 --> 00:29:00,319 all natural, always skeptical about it. Elixirs, if you will. Right. Uh, this 586 00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:01,250 stuff does it. 587 00:29:01,250 --> 00:29:05,750 Yeah. I enjoy it. I actually do. Um, they sold, they sold me. Yeah. I like that 588 00:29:05,750 --> 00:29:06,009 . There's 589 00:29:06,009 --> 00:29:11,309 no sugar. You know, me, no carbs, except for rear, uh, which is a lot of carbs, 590 00:29:11,309 --> 00:29:11,410 all 591 00:29:11,410 --> 00:29:16,970 natural ingredients, keto friendly, not free vegan, paleo friendly. Like I said 592 00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:17,529 , no sugar 593 00:29:17,529 --> 00:29:22,079 has matcha in it, which seems to be the, the, the main flavor is, is macho, 594 00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:23,329 which is definitely 595 00:29:23,329 --> 00:29:27,700 not a bad thing. Not a bad thing at all. Not a bad thing at all. Uh, so anyways 596 00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:28,170 , I mean, 597 00:29:28,170 --> 00:29:31,049 this sounds good to you. Sounds like something you need a little more focus or 598 00:29:31,049 --> 00:29:31,670 a little memory 599 00:29:31,670 --> 00:29:34,869 or you will try and not have four cups of coffee like me every day. I'm trying 600 00:29:34,869 --> 00:29:35,049 to keep 601 00:29:35,049 --> 00:29:40,490 it down to like two or spend $8 at Starbucks every morning. Oh gosh.

What the hell? 736 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,920 I should 737 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,159 research that. I got an empty, I got two empty keg spots on my kegerator. It's 738 00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:50,900 a problem. 739 00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:58,949 It is put something in those like a seltzer, like a goddamn seltzer. Put a red 740 00:36:58,949 --> 00:36:59,380 nose on 741 00:36:59,380 --> 00:37:04,380 the keg tab. A red nose. Yeah. So you remind yourself, uh, you're a big fucking 742 00:37:04,380 --> 00:37:07,739 clown. 743 00:37:07,739 --> 00:37:12,460 Not a big fist to remind me of a knucklehead. I like it. All right. Little 744 00:37:12,460 --> 00:37:13,300 Chris libation 745 00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:20,050 law. This one comes from Wyoming. No junk dealer may do business with a drunk 746 00:37:20,050 --> 00:37:21,059 person. 747 00:37:21,059 --> 00:37:27,070 No what? Junk dealer. Is that a normal thing in Wyoming? I did not know that 748 00:37:27,070 --> 00:37:28,340 was an occupation, 749 00:37:28,340 --> 00:37:32,869 but apparently in Wyoming it is. If you're going to deal some junk, what'd you 750 00:37:32,869 --> 00:37:33,019 go to 751 00:37:33,019 --> 00:37:42,900 school for? Junk dealer. You junk dealing son of a bitch. Imagine getting home 752 00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:43,010 from 753 00:37:43,010 --> 00:37:48,880 a long weeks of work and your wife's like, Oh, what's wrong, honey? Oh, just 754 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:49,789 dealt so 755 00:37:49,789 --> 00:37:55,860 much junk this week. I don't know if I could deal any more junk or you go to 756 00:37:55,860 --> 00:37:57,269 the doctor's 757 00:37:57,269 --> 00:38:00,369 office and there was for whatever reason the doctor always asked your 758 00:38:00,369 --> 00:38:01,250 occupation when you're 759 00:38:01,250 --> 00:38:07,820 filling out your forms, you know, an age high occupation, junk dealer, junk 760 00:38:07,820 --> 00:38:09,070 dealer in Wyoming. 761 00:38:09,070 --> 00:38:16,099 It's just the boxer junk dealer or other. It's like the most popular occupation 762 00:38:16,099 --> 00:38:16,349 . Junk 763 00:38:16,349 --> 00:38:21,300 dealer, rancher, other. It's all they got. Unreal. Yeah. So don't be drinking 764 00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:21,909 if you're 765 00:38:21,909 --> 00:38:25,570 going to do some junk deal. Maybe they just did that so they could come up with 766 00:38:25,570 --> 00:38:26,030 like a, 767 00:38:26,030 --> 00:38:29,880 there's gotta be a fun rhyme for that. Like if you're junking, you better not 768 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:30,590 be drunken 769 00:38:30,590 --> 00:38:35,789 or something. Don't be drunk when you deal the junk. That's brilliant. Yeah. 770 00:38:35,789 --> 00:38:36,070 Clearly 771 00:38:36,070 --> 00:38:40,500 a poet, a moron. And I couldn't think of something so simple. Oh, I got your 772 00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:41,389 back. It's what 773 00:38:41,389 --> 00:38:44,739 a good cohost does. Yeah. Uh, let's do a little news before we get up out of 774 00:38:44,739 --> 00:38:45,550 here. You know, 775 00:38:45,550 --> 00:38:51,320 a few weeks ago we were talking about how hop acreage has declined right in 776 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:52,269 recent years. 777 00:38:52,269 --> 00:38:58,880 Well, the 2023 global hop production is up 11 and a half percent despite, well, 778 00:38:58,880 --> 00:38:59,110 good 779 00:38:59,110 --> 00:39:03,269 thing it's 2024 though. Well, you know, they don't, they're never up to date. 780 00:39:03,269 --> 00:39:03,429 It's always 781 00:39:03,429 --> 00:39:09,530 year by year. But despite the shrinkage, if you will, of acreage, there's still 782 00:39:09,530 --> 00:39:10,070 higher 783 00:39:10,070 --> 00:39:16,210 hop production. Global hop acreage declined 3.3% in 2023 versus 22 the second 784 00:39:16,210 --> 00:39:17,110 consecutive 785 00:39:17,110 --> 00:39:22,510 year of decline in a significantly sharper reduction versus the year before. 786 00:39:22,550 --> 00:39:31,639 approximately 149,847 acres of hop cultivation area across the globe. Big 787 00:39:31,639 --> 00:39:33,309 number in 2023, 788 00:39:33,309 --> 00:39:39,869 a decline of 5,000 acres compared to 2022. So once again, acreage down hops up. 789 00:39:39,869 --> 00:39:40,269 Well, 790 00:39:40,269 --> 00:39:45,710 speaking of shrinkage, I did drink a beer. I drank a beer called shrinkage. Oh, 791 00:39:45,710 --> 00:39:46,469 and on 792 00:39:46,469 --> 00:39:49,539 the bottom of the can it said, uh, I was in the pool. I thought that was 793 00:39:49,539 --> 00:39:51,590 hilarious. That's 794 00:39:51,590 --> 00:39:56,630 pretty good. But that was the best part of the beer. I like that. The beer 795 00:39:56,630 --> 00:39:57,070 itself. Not 796 00:39:57,070 --> 00:40:03,320 so great. No, it, uh, poured it out and it's, it smelled like, uh, like a lit 797 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:04,309 firework. 798 00:40:04,309 --> 00:40:09,639 Ew. What kind of beer was it? What type? It was a cold IPA. Doesn't sound like 799 00:40:09,639 --> 00:40:09,949 it. It 800 00:40:09,949 --> 00:40:14,969 was not great. Oof. Yeah. Not what they're supposed to smell like. No, it was, 801 00:40:14,969 --> 00:40:15,230 it was 802 00:40:15,230 --> 00:40:19,269 not good. Sounds like it was like a Roush beer or something. It, it just tasted 803 00:40:19,269 --> 00:40:19,590 like 804 00:40:19,590 --> 00:40:25,940 firework. Good. Yeah, it did. Like the aroma went to the pallet a little bit. 805 00:40:25,940 --> 00:40:26,309 Oh, it really 806 00:40:26,309 --> 00:40:30,119 tasted like that. And then you'd be like, Oh, now there's a little bit of 807 00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:31,909 orange and 808 00:40:31,909 --> 00:40:37,030 burnt orange. Yeah, it was gross. I won't name the brewery. It was a Wisconsin 809 00:40:37,030 --> 00:40:37,550 brewery, 810 00:40:37,550 --> 00:40:41,929 but that's fair. Sounds awful. All you gotta do is look up the beer shrinkage 811 00:40:41,929 --> 00:40:42,670 though. I 812 00:40:42,670 --> 00:40:47,659 like the can though. The can sounds fun. Yeah. The label, like the, the whole 813 00:40:47,659 --> 00:40:48,429 art could have 814 00:40:48,429 --> 00:40:52,269 been better on it too, but I didn't buy it. Was at a party and it was there and 815 00:40:52,269 --> 00:40:52,710 that's 816 00:40:52,710 --> 00:40:58,889 fair. Yeah. All right. Hey, if I were to say to you, what's the number one beer 817 00:40:58,889 --> 00:40:59,789 in Texas? 818 00:40:59,789 --> 00:41:05,309 What would you say? Shiner mock overall, not, not just craft overall beer. Oh, 819 00:41:05,309 --> 00:41:06,789 overall beer. 820 00:41:06,789 --> 00:41:11,260 Sheesh. Overall beer in Texas. I feel like this is a trick question. I mean, 821 00:41:11,260 --> 00:41:11,789 the answer 822 00:41:11,789 --> 00:41:16,539 is a beer. So it's in that way, it's not a trick question. All right. Big, it's 823 00:41:16,539 --> 00:41:17,550 big beer. 824 00:41:17,550 --> 00:41:23,159 It is big beer. It's big beer. Uh, let's go weird with like Michelob ultra. I 825 00:41:23,159 --> 00:41:23,550 like that 826 00:41:23,550 --> 00:41:26,369 you went weird. You're wrong, but I liked that you went weird. That that was 827 00:41:26,369 --> 00:41:26,510 better 828 00:41:26,510 --> 00:41:31,019 than just saying like Budweiser or something like that. Dos Equis is the number 829 00:41:31,019 --> 00:41:31,630 one on 830 00:41:31,630 --> 00:41:37,139 premise beer in Texas tap handle on premise beer in Texas. I know. Can USA's 831 00:41:37,139 --> 00:41:37,670 Dos Equis 832 00:41:37,670 --> 00:41:44,210 import brand is number one beer on prem with 10.2% total share and top handle 833 00:41:44,210 --> 00:41:45,190 in the state 834 00:41:45,190 --> 00:41:49,400 by dollar sales. I don't know. That's weird. Well, and I, and I actually 835 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,070 learned something 836 00:41:50,070 --> 00:41:54,639 besides the fact that Texas loves shitty Mexican beers. I did not know that Dos 837 00:41:54,639 --> 00:41:55,510 Equis was owned 838 00:41:55,510 --> 00:41:59,409 by Heineken. I guess I thought they were blue Anheuser-Busch or something. I 839 00:41:59,409 --> 00:41:59,909 guess I didn't 840 00:41:59,909 --> 00:42:04,489 know. I didn't really know who owned them really. And apparently it's Heineken. 841 00:42:04,489 --> 00:42:04,789 So that 842 00:42:04,789 --> 00:42:11,690 tracks. Yeah. Dos Equis is like my least favorite Mexican German beer. Yeah. I 843 00:42:11,690 --> 00:42:14,469 mean, I've said 844 00:42:14,469 --> 00:42:17,340 it a million times. If I'm going, you know, cheap Mexican beer, probably like 845 00:42:17,340 --> 00:42:18,230 Pacifico, 846 00:42:18,230 --> 00:42:26,269 maybe a Modelo or definitely mode. I can't say it. Modelo, Modelo, Modelo, not 847 00:42:26,269 --> 00:42:26,989 Modelo. 848 00:42:26,989 --> 00:42:32,989 I find myself now sometimes saying because of you Modelo. I just, when I talk 849 00:42:32,989 --> 00:42:33,909 on this, 850 00:42:33,909 --> 00:42:40,110 I just, I don't want to get made fun of anymore. Sorry, bud. Oh, I can't help 851 00:42:40,110 --> 00:42:41,909 myself. Yeah. 852 00:42:41,909 --> 00:42:49,179 We'll end it with this one. A Kent state professor was arrested after an 853 00:42:49,179 --> 00:42:51,829 alleged drunken 911 phone 854 00:42:51,829 --> 00:42:56,889 call and argument over whether she can drive drunk. Come on. A Kent state 855 00:42:56,889 --> 00:42:58,150 university professor 856 00:42:58,150 --> 00:43:02,139 was arrested after calling 911 to tell police that she was locked out of a 857 00:43:02,139 --> 00:43:03,110 building and had 858 00:43:03,110 --> 00:43:07,780 to use the restroom and later argued with officers over whether she was intox 859 00:43:07,780 --> 00:43:08,309 icated 860 00:43:08,309 --> 00:43:15,199 during an initial 911 call. Dr. Ellen Glickman director of the school of health 861 00:43:15,199 --> 00:43:16,070 sciences. 862 00:43:16,070 --> 00:43:20,869 You would think that'd be a smart person uses an expletive to tell the dispatch 863 00:43:20,869 --> 00:43:26,130 She needs to get into her building later telling another dispatcher. She has to 864 00:43:26,130 --> 00:43:27,269 use the bathroom. 865 00:43:27,269 --> 00:43:32,199 She says, can you do it immediately during the call attempting to get officers 866 00:43:32,199 --> 00:43:33,269 on site quickly. 867 00:43:33,269 --> 00:43:37,670 The officer that arrived allowed Glickman into the building to use the restroom 868 00:43:37,750 --> 00:43:44,039 asking her to call for a ride. Glickman denied being intoxicated and insisted 869 00:43:44,039 --> 00:43:44,469 that she could 870 00:43:44,469 --> 00:43:48,849 drive her Tesla home multiple times before threatening to call the officer's 871 00:43:48,849 --> 00:43:49,590 captain. 872 00:43:49,590 --> 00:43:56,090 I think I'm okay. I have a Tesla. Glickman said, just because you have a Tesla 873 00:43:56,090 --> 00:43:56,630 doesn't mean it's 874 00:43:56,630 --> 00:44:00,230 going to drive itself. The officer said Glickman was eventually taken into 875 00:44:00,230 --> 00:44:01,269 custody and charged with 876 00:44:01,269 --> 00:44:06,300 disorderly conduct by disorderly conduct by intoxicated. I've never even heard 877 00:44:06,300 --> 00:44:06,869 of that, 878 00:44:06,869 --> 00:44:10,789 which was later dismissed after court documents show she paid court costs and 879 00:44:10,789 --> 00:44:11,909 completed community 880 00:44:11,909 --> 00:44:15,929 service. But I love that. I have a Tesla. I'm fine. Do they not drive 881 00:44:15,929 --> 00:44:17,349 themselves? I mean, 882 00:44:17,349 --> 00:44:22,630 that's the thing. Like I I'm with her. Like, I know that was a, when you, when 883 00:44:22,630 --> 00:44:23,269 she said that, 884 00:44:23,989 --> 00:44:26,710 the first thought that crossed my mind was, Hey, that sounded bad idea. 885 00:44:26,710 --> 00:44:30,070 Yeah. Like I know the whole thing is like, you, you still need to be sober 886 00:44:30,070 --> 00:44:33,900 in quotes when you drive your Tesla. It's like, if it drives itself, it fucking 887 00:44:33,900 --> 00:44:34,869 drives itself. 888 00:44:34,869 --> 00:44:40,429 People. Hmm. Yeah. I'm okay with it. People are afraid of self-driving cars. Oh 889 00:44:40,429 --> 00:44:40,710 , 890 00:44:40,710 --> 00:44:44,150 they hit one other car. It's like, yeah, people hit cars all the fucking time. 891 00:44:44,150 --> 00:44:48,630 I am terrified about self-driving cars, but doesn't bother me. Well, you're a 892 00:44:48,630 --> 00:44:49,130 tech guy. 893 00:44:49,590 --> 00:44:54,070 Well, just the accident. I don't know. Ratio is way less than humans. 894 00:44:54,070 --> 00:44:59,110 You know, if you check out the stats, well, if there's statistics, you know, 895 00:44:59,110 --> 00:44:59,349 then 896 00:44:59,349 --> 00:45:05,349 that makes it okay. Right. Anyways. So, uh, it's a numbers game. It's a no 897 00:45:05,349 --> 00:45:11,590 survival of the numberist. Um, I hope everyone stays hydrated out there.
