1 00:00:00,290 --> 00:00:03,530 I am connected to the internet. 2 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:21,560 Welcome in, everybody, to the Craft Beer Republic. Thanks for drinking. 3 00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:24,890 Thanks for joining. For those of you who still have 4 00:00:24,890 --> 00:00:29,840 a Saint Patrick's Day hangover. Hi, and thanks for listening. Loud. 5 00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:35,720 Sorry, Bud, for warn me next time. Yeah, I was off the cuff, 6 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,960 as they say, off the cuff. Uh, I'm Greg and the guy who 7 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,490 can't hear me anymore. That's Flex. You know this music? 8 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,240 Uh, I know we always joke with the Ford commercial. Yeah. Ford. Tough. 9 00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:55,460 I think, like 90s wrestler. Oh, yeah. I think it is very 90s generic 10 00:00:55,460 --> 00:01:02,550 jobber. Right? You know, like. It's like a Bob Holly coming to 11 00:01:02,550 --> 00:01:03,180 the ring. Yeah, 12 00:01:03,210 --> 00:01:08,160 or like Rick Daniels or something. Like just some super jobber name. 13 00:01:08,190 --> 00:01:10,890 Yeah. Or who's the guy that, uh, 14 00:01:10,890 --> 00:01:17,880 lost to skip or no beat? Skip. Who's skip? Uh, Chris. Candido. 15 00:01:17,970 --> 00:01:21,540 You know what I'm talking about, though. I don't. He was a total okay. 16 00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:23,340 Not a wrestling show. Not a. Wrestling. Show. 17 00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:25,290 For those of you who are not wrestling fans, a jobber is 18 00:01:25,290 --> 00:01:28,080 someone whose job it is to lose. In wrestling. 19 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,250 They don't really use jobbers like they did in the 80s and 90s. 20 00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:35,280 Um, but anyways, there was a jobber whose name I 21 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,250 think he started with a D. I want to say Dean. It's not Dean. 22 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,080 Um. Oh, was it Barry Horowitz? Oh, man. Oh, my God. 23 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,110 Did I just pull that out of my. Ass? What a name drop. 24 00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:53,250 And he got his first and only WWF TV win against Chris Candido. 25 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,070 Because, like, Chris Candido had pissed somebody off or something. 26 00:01:57,150 --> 00:02:01,230 I know what you're talking about now. Yeah. 100. 27 00:02:01,260 --> 00:02:06,690 Somebody fact check this for me. I think I'm mostly right. 28 00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:10,380 At least, like 68% right? I just can't even believe. 29 00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,900 Where did that name come from? Oh, my God, I can't believe I 30 00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:15,240 pulled that out of my ass. I hope that was the right name. Um. 31 00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:20,550 Wow. Sorry. Chest of wrestling names. Sorry, everyone who's not a 32 00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:23,700 wrestling fan. We will move on. Uh, thanks for drinking. 33 00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:29,010 Thanks for joining us on the socials. Grabbed Republic Flex me beer 34 00:02:29,010 --> 00:02:33,930 underscores in between all of that good stuff, I went out. 35 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:40,350 He kicked out. One two area that made me cough. 36 00:02:40,890 --> 00:02:44,940 Yeah. Get that out. Yeah. Good little daddy. Yeah. Wow. 37 00:02:44,940 --> 00:02:48,870 That's gone. Um, anyways, okay. Lots to get to tonight. 38 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:52,470 Got some booze news. I did a little traveling. 39 00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:55,410 I alluded to it last week. Took a trip. 40 00:02:55,450 --> 00:02:59,620 Beer was involved, not even on purpose. Lots of beer was involved. 41 00:02:59,650 --> 00:03:03,580 Not even on purpose. Not on purpose. I can't wait to hear this. 42 00:03:03,610 --> 00:03:06,130 I mean, obviously there's going to be some beer involved, but the amount of 43 00:03:06,130 --> 00:03:10,360 beer involved was not on purpose. Um, and all that good stuff. 44 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,720 So if you don't mind, I'm going to crack right into it and have a 45 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:28,660 little beverage. Out of my mouth. Oh, out of my beer. Out of my way. 46 00:03:28,690 --> 00:03:36,010 Out of my beer. I'm loving my beer. Sorry. Uh, today I am drinking. 47 00:03:36,010 --> 00:03:39,460 And this has to do with the story I'm about to tell, but I am drinking San 48 00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:42,850 Francisco Brewing Company, which I didn't even know existed a couple 49 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:49,780 of weeks ago. Fog City hazy IPA. It's got a pretty sweet can of 50 00:03:49,810 --> 00:03:54,400 like a cloud or, I guess, fog over the Golden Gate Bridge. 51 00:03:54,730 --> 00:04:00,220 I like his. Baseball. References. And a hat. Anyways, 6.7%. 52 00:04:00,250 --> 00:04:05,770 45 IBUs has a 3.82 and untapped. And they say Carl is our Fog City 53 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:12,040 hazy IPA New England style made with malted barley, wheat and oats. 54 00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:17,320 Dry hopped with a blend of Vic Secret, Citra, mosaic, and Simcoe 55 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:23,260 hops with a foggy and cloudy body, this unfiltered IPA will give you a 56 00:04:23,260 --> 00:04:28,000 big mouthfeel without the bitter bite, and Flex will attest to this. 57 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,780 When I was trying to fucking pour it before the show started. 58 00:04:32,050 --> 00:04:34,750 Every little pour. I don't know how much carbonation 59 00:04:34,750 --> 00:04:36,610 they got in this bitch, but it started exploding. 60 00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:39,340 I have a mess to clean up. My pants are wet and I didn't pee 61 00:04:39,370 --> 00:04:43,720 them. It's, uh, it's a whole thing. But anyways, on the schnoz, 62 00:04:45,550 --> 00:04:49,540 the surprising amount of dank on the nose for being a hazy IPA. 63 00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:53,750 But they do mission well. Wow. They do mention some bitterness 64 00:04:53,780 --> 00:04:57,470 and whatnot. As you can see, it's properly hazy. 65 00:04:57,620 --> 00:05:01,760 It is very hazy. And a little citrus. I think going along that let me 66 00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:05,540 stick in the old Tongue-jobber that likes to run away. Yeah, warm it up. 67 00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:14,780 I mean, the tongue really follows suit with citrus orange bitterness. 68 00:05:15,410 --> 00:05:18,710 There is a fair bit of carbonation for hazy. 69 00:05:18,740 --> 00:05:22,370 You know, it's not that pillowy softness. I'm not mad. About. 70 00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:27,050 Spritzy. Yeah. Which is surprising. And hazy. I'm not angry about it. 71 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,010 It could use a little less carbonation, I think. Um. 72 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,650 Let's see. 382 and untapped. I think that's fair. 73 00:05:33,650 --> 00:05:36,890 It's a good beer. I'm not against paying for one 74 00:05:36,890 --> 00:05:41,090 and would drink again. Right on. Yeah, it seems reasonable. 75 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,430 Sometimes that spritzing of a IPA, it's a fun little different. Yeah, I. 76 00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:49,130 Think it needs it because of the amount of bitterness that this 77 00:05:49,130 --> 00:05:52,380 holds for being a hazy and spritzy ness I think helps out. 78 00:05:52,410 --> 00:05:54,930 Like if it wasn't so bitter and it was spritz, you'd be like, 79 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,270 oh, this is weird. It's like a fucking, you know, 80 00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:00,330 orange spritzer on my tongue or something, right? 81 00:06:00,420 --> 00:06:03,090 But I think this actually helps it out a little bit. 82 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,410 It just could be a smidge less. But overall, like I said, 83 00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:10,710 definitely would drink again. Would even pay for it if I had to. 84 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,300 I got this free. So, uh, here's here's my my story, 85 00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:19,680 first of all, went to San Francisco last weekend, a little trip. 86 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,910 First thing I did was we hit the Burbank airport and hit the bar 87 00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:26,040 because we had a little time to kill. Okay. 88 00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:28,920 And we're looking at the beer choices because, you know, 89 00:06:29,070 --> 00:06:31,980 airport. I don't drink wine. Airport beer. They're not great. 90 00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:35,970 Yeah. And they were not. It was all things owned by Budweiser. 91 00:06:35,970 --> 00:06:39,870 But as I'm looking through, I went, oh, they have a beer hug on Tapped 92 00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:43,470 on Tap. I've never had one. Flex talked about it being the only 93 00:06:43,470 --> 00:06:46,590 good beer on his trip to Saint Louis. Not the only good, but the best. 94 00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:50,130 Okay. The best. so I got even worse. I'm sorry. 95 00:06:51,420 --> 00:06:54,750 I was like, all right, well, then I got to try one only because of Flex. 96 00:06:54,750 --> 00:06:56,700 And he's a genius, so I did, I ordered it, 97 00:06:56,700 --> 00:07:00,630 I did not know what I ordered was like the Imperial version. 98 00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:03,570 Um, the guy didn't know either. So I think they call it, 99 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,320 like the tropical Bearhug or something. Yep. That's it. Yeah. 100 00:07:07,710 --> 00:07:10,680 And so I ordered that the wife orders a lager, 101 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,980 she gets a Kona longboard, which is, I think it's a lager, not a blonde. 102 00:07:14,010 --> 00:07:16,260 Yeah, I don't, I don't enjoy it. Yeah. 103 00:07:16,290 --> 00:07:20,670 Anyways, hers is like 4.5% Kona. Big wave. Big waves. 104 00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:24,300 No, no, she got the longboard. Get it right. Oh I'm sorry. 105 00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:27,900 Big wave is the blue one. In fact. Funny story, they brought her a big 106 00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:31,560 wave and it was the wrong color. This. I love my wife. 107 00:07:31,590 --> 00:07:33,510 She could tell by the color that it was the wrong beer. 108 00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:35,850 And she goes, oh, is this a longboard? He goes, oh shit. 109 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,250 No, it's a big wave. Hold on. And like, took it back. 110 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,260 That's amazing. I was like, oh, so hot just by 111 00:07:43,260 --> 00:07:46,420 the color. Anyways. Go on. So he brings this over, 112 00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:48,880 brings her beer over, and I'm sipping it like it's, you know, 113 00:07:48,910 --> 00:07:52,810 it's fine for all the beer options that I have here at this shit bar. 114 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,800 Like, I probably could have done much worse. And the guy comes over. 115 00:07:56,830 --> 00:07:59,050 He goes, what do you think of that? And I said, yeah, it's fine. 116 00:07:59,050 --> 00:08:00,490 Nothing wrong with it. It's it's all right. 117 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,770 You know, I know it's Goose Island and, you know, whatever. 118 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,950 And he goes, yeah, we just got it in. He goes, look at this. 119 00:08:05,950 --> 00:08:09,640 And he pulls up the keg ring and he shows me the ABV. 120 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,480 I didn't say this on the menu. I had no idea I was ordering the 121 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,650 Imperial 9.9%. So I'm drinking this 10%. 122 00:08:17,650 --> 00:08:20,500 Daddy, over here. As we're about to get on the plane, 123 00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:24,430 the wife's drinking 4.5% lager, and my beer was only like $0.70 124 00:08:24,430 --> 00:08:27,310 more than hers. And I was like, I fucking won. 125 00:08:27,550 --> 00:08:30,310 I don't even care how it tastes. Yeah, that's an undefeated 126 00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:33,820 season right there. Yeah. Uh, 127 00:08:33,820 --> 00:08:37,570 undefeated and won the Super Bowl. Didn't blow it at the end there. 128 00:08:37,570 --> 00:08:40,420 So yeah, it was it was not bad. It was fine. 129 00:08:40,420 --> 00:08:42,790 It wouldn't be my first choice if I had better choices. 130 00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:46,820 But, um, it was fine and at 10% and only $0.70 more than a lager, 131 00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:50,450 I was I was all about hell yeah. So, uh, not bad. 132 00:08:50,450 --> 00:08:53,870 Anyways, went to San Francisco. One thing we did not know about 133 00:08:53,870 --> 00:08:57,680 San Francisco until about two days before we left was we were going 134 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:01,370 up for San Francisco Beer Week. No kidding? No kidding. 135 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,090 Had no fucking idea we'd planned this trip a couple of months ago, 136 00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:07,610 and, well, I say planned. We planned the dates we had done 137 00:09:07,610 --> 00:09:09,980 zero planning for the trip, and the wife starts looking into it. 138 00:09:10,010 --> 00:09:13,430 She goes, um, did you know we're going up for San Francisco Beer Week? 139 00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:15,380 And then I had to. I felt like I had to defend myself. 140 00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:18,620 I was like, I swear I didn't do this on purpose because, you know, 141 00:09:18,650 --> 00:09:21,530 sounds like something I would do. And we started looking at the events 142 00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:24,710 and, um, a lot of the events looked kind of lame, if we're being honest. 143 00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:28,760 I'm like, oh, beer Week, but these are not Beer Week type events. 144 00:09:29,330 --> 00:09:35,330 Except for one caught our eye. It was a bay cruise with San 145 00:09:35,330 --> 00:09:38,360 Francisco Brewing Company, who I'm drinking right now. Okay. 146 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:44,150 And $75 gets you the cruise. Plus all you can drink, 147 00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:47,660 plus a bunch of snacks. Yeah. You had. You had me at all. 148 00:09:47,660 --> 00:09:50,630 You could drink. Yeah. So she wanted to meet up with a 149 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:53,870 couple of her friends that live up there, and we did. 150 00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:55,940 They they came out and we said like, hey, here's what we're doing 151 00:09:55,940 --> 00:09:57,260 Saturday night. Do you want to, you know, 152 00:09:57,290 --> 00:09:58,970 join the fun? They're like, we are getting a 153 00:09:58,970 --> 00:10:04,010 babysitter immediately. Hell yeah. Yeah. How do you pass that up? Yeah. 154 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,190 They threw the kids at some homeless guy that came on out and. 155 00:10:07,250 --> 00:10:12,320 Got out there. Yeah. You know what? Side note San Francisco has 156 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,410 really cleaned their act up. Like, I when I used to go down there 157 00:10:15,410 --> 00:10:18,590 for work, it used to be just littered with homeless people everywhere. 158 00:10:18,830 --> 00:10:22,940 I don't I hesitate, hesitate to ask what they're doing with them, 159 00:10:22,970 --> 00:10:25,520 but they're like way less homeless people than there used to be. 160 00:10:25,550 --> 00:10:29,720 I hope they're finding them shelters and places to stay, and not just 161 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,290 kicking them out to the street. Chucking them off the bridge or that. 162 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,650 Yeah. Too soon. They haven't done that since the 80s. 163 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,950 Come on. But, um. Anyway, so we did this. 164 00:10:39,950 --> 00:10:43,860 This cruise legit. Not only was it all you can drink, 165 00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:49,470 they just brought a bunch of tall boys on the boat so this can. 166 00:10:49,470 --> 00:10:53,550 I'm drinking out of this 16 ouncer. This is one of the boat beers. 167 00:10:53,580 --> 00:10:57,180 No way. Yeah. And so, as we're heading back 168 00:10:57,180 --> 00:11:00,540 towards the dock, I was like, you guys, not only are they only 169 00:11:00,540 --> 00:11:03,900 serving cans except for one beer. The pilsner, which was pretty good, 170 00:11:03,930 --> 00:11:07,650 was in a keg. Everything else. Cans, not serving cans, 171 00:11:07,650 --> 00:11:10,080 but like, they're not open. You go to a baseball game, 172 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,750 they open it as they hand it to you. So you can't. Do anything with it. 173 00:11:12,780 --> 00:11:18,810 They're not opening these cans. So I said, now's our chance. 174 00:11:19,020 --> 00:11:21,810 So we were still very much drinking beers, and I just went up there. 175 00:11:21,810 --> 00:11:24,840 I was like, hey, can I get a this and a that, you know, and came back 176 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,120 and put it in the wife's purse. And then she went up there and was 177 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,240 like, hey, can I get out of this? Oh my gosh, that's brilliant. 178 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,720 And as we're hitting the dock and the guy was cool, he worked 179 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,720 for the brewery, not the boat. And I went up there and I was like, 180 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,220 hey, man, is it too late to get another beer. 181 00:11:39,250 --> 00:11:42,970 Knowing full well it was way too late. We're about to hit the dock. 182 00:11:43,420 --> 00:11:48,760 We're like, you know, 30s from docking. I wait, easy now. 183 00:11:49,660 --> 00:11:54,040 Uh, not a docking show. No. Him and I were a minute from docking. 184 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,180 The boat was 30s from docking. I love your thought process on this, 185 00:11:58,210 --> 00:12:00,370 by the way. I just have to let you know that. 186 00:12:00,370 --> 00:12:02,500 Thank you. I they don't call me a genius 187 00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:04,600 for nothing. And so I said to him, 188 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,150 I was like, hey, you know, innocently has it too late. 189 00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:10,780 And he goes, yeah, it's way too late, but it's not 190 00:12:10,780 --> 00:12:16,690 too late if you have pockets. Oh my God, that's amazing, my man. 191 00:12:16,690 --> 00:12:23,230 So we walked off with 4 or 5 beers in the in the wife's. 192 00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:24,430 She had a little backpack on. I was like, 193 00:12:24,430 --> 00:12:27,040 just stuff in your backpack for now. We'll redistribute later. 194 00:12:27,310 --> 00:12:29,710 Figure it all out. Don't make her carry it all. 195 00:12:29,740 --> 00:12:31,300 Right, exactly. Just carry out the boat. 196 00:12:31,330 --> 00:12:32,680 Get off the boat. We'll figure it out later. 197 00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:36,700 And so we did. And, uh. Look, I had never had. 198 00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:38,530 Actually, that's not true. I'd had this one. 199 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,980 The beer I'm having tonight, I had had at a bar once, but beyond that, 200 00:12:41,980 --> 00:12:44,470 I had never had any of the other San Francisco brewing beers. 201 00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:47,470 I'd only recently heard about them on a recent, uh, 202 00:12:47,470 --> 00:12:49,510 on a work trip up there. I was at a restaurant, 203 00:12:49,510 --> 00:12:51,610 and it was like a bunch of beers that I didn't want. 204 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,070 And then San Francisco Brewing, and it was this one, the Fog City. 205 00:12:54,070 --> 00:12:56,560 And I was like, oh, I'll give Fog City a try. Not not bad. 206 00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:01,900 So look, it was fun. We went out. We go out around the bay and around 207 00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:05,140 the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz Island and all the, 208 00:13:05,170 --> 00:13:08,500 you know, the Bay things. It was like a two hour cruise. 209 00:13:08,590 --> 00:13:11,020 Um, we took a picture of the graveyard 210 00:13:11,020 --> 00:13:13,990 of cans that we went through. I'll have to post that on the, 211 00:13:14,020 --> 00:13:16,840 on the gram. Um, just the whole windowsill 212 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,240 was was filled with cans. It did start raining, so we kind of 213 00:13:19,270 --> 00:13:22,990 kept it inside for the most part. But, um, yeah, we we did a little 214 00:13:22,990 --> 00:13:25,900 damage and it was we definitely got our 75 bucks worth, I'll tell 215 00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:30,100 you that. Well, that's good times. Especially like California. 75 bucks. 216 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,000 Especially San Francisco. 75 bucks. Yeah, that's. Like a beer and a half. 217 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,610 I was gonna say two beers and you paid for it. Yeah. 218 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,090 San Francisco is crazy expensive. But yeah, 75 bucks, you get the 219 00:13:41,090 --> 00:13:44,120 cruise and all you can drink. And it wasn't just snacks. 220 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,260 Like, here's some chips and a cookie. It was a. Nacho. Bar. 221 00:13:48,290 --> 00:13:51,200 People talk when they give you chips and a cookie. Yeah. 222 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,620 If you never had somebody give you chips and cookies. Chips and cookies. 223 00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:59,840 Suddenly the church lady is handing you chips and cookies. 224 00:14:00,410 --> 00:14:04,790 Oh, isn't that swell? Isn't that special? Special? Um. 225 00:14:04,820 --> 00:14:07,670 But, yeah, they had a nacho bar. They had charcuterie. It was. 226 00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:09,800 Holy shit. That's way better than snacks. 227 00:14:09,830 --> 00:14:12,800 Yeah, and it wasn't, like, shitty movie theater. Nacho cheese. 228 00:14:12,830 --> 00:14:17,930 Like it was legit cheese sauce. It was. Dude, it was good. It was. 229 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,100 We got our 75 bucks worth both in the alcohol and the nacho bar. 230 00:14:22,130 --> 00:14:25,880 Hell, yeah. I'm proud of you. Thank you. What a trip. 231 00:14:26,090 --> 00:14:27,380 It was good times. You know, 232 00:14:27,410 --> 00:14:30,890 we hit a couple other breweries. Um, there was one we hit called 233 00:14:30,890 --> 00:14:33,690 Otherwise Brewing. It's like a gluten reduced. Look. 234 00:14:33,690 --> 00:14:38,070 It was. I won't be returning. It was fine. Fine at best. 235 00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:42,330 Cool spot, cool brewery, nice bartender. 236 00:14:42,660 --> 00:14:46,770 Beer was just we each I had a hazy. She had a sour. 237 00:14:46,860 --> 00:14:49,740 And then we closed out and went somewhere else. 238 00:14:49,740 --> 00:14:52,680 That was the end of it. Went to Black Hammer, which I've 239 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,620 had on the show before. Right. I was hoping you would stop there. 240 00:14:55,650 --> 00:14:58,050 Yeah, the wife had never been, so we had to stop by. 241 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,170 She very much enjoyed it. A lot of wine on that trip too. 242 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,500 Wasn't wasn't meant to be. A beer trip just happened that way. 243 00:15:04,650 --> 00:15:06,810 Did a little fancy dinner. I don't know if you know who Tyler 244 00:15:06,810 --> 00:15:10,260 Florence is from the Food Network. He's the host of the great food 245 00:15:10,290 --> 00:15:14,190 truck race. No, I have no idea. He's got a restaurant there, 246 00:15:14,220 --> 00:15:17,910 the Wayfare Tavern. We went there. Our waiter was from LA, 247 00:15:17,940 --> 00:15:20,970 so we just spent the whole night talking about LA. So. Yeah. 248 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,880 How do you like it up here? Classic LA thing to do in San 249 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,390 Francisco. God dang it. Basically just talked about how 250 00:15:27,390 --> 00:15:30,420 much he likes living up there now as opposed to LA and all that 251 00:15:30,420 --> 00:15:34,050 and traffic in LA and very LA conversation for most of the night. 252 00:15:34,260 --> 00:15:37,980 He's a nice guy. Dodgers, huh? Yeah. The Dodgers. 253 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,070 Oh, fucking contract extension for their shit manager. 254 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,300 Not a Dodger show. That's what you're bummed out about. 255 00:15:48,330 --> 00:15:52,020 Dave Roberts contract extension. Unreal. Absolutely. 256 00:15:52,110 --> 00:15:54,630 Oh, I can't even talk. Abso fucking lutely. 257 00:15:54,630 --> 00:15:58,440 Am I bummed out about his? Lutely. Absolutely. 258 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,500 Am I bummed out about his contract extension? You're dumb. 259 00:16:01,530 --> 00:16:04,740 The Dodgers win in spite of him, not because of him. 260 00:16:04,770 --> 00:16:10,020 I don't believe that. I do. They do so poorly in the postseason. 261 00:16:10,020 --> 00:16:13,320 You could say that would convince me that that's accurate. 262 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:17,880 They do so poorly in the postseason compared to the regular season. 263 00:16:18,150 --> 00:16:20,400 Why do they. Win series in the last five years? 264 00:16:20,430 --> 00:16:23,760 I don't care. What about the other years when we're 265 00:16:23,790 --> 00:16:27,840 winning, you know more games than any other team. Can't win. Out in. 266 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,610 The first round because you play in the fucking NL West. I don't buy. 267 00:16:32,610 --> 00:16:36,450 It. Great division can suck it. It's a great division. 268 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,460 No, I was being sarcastic. Oh, it's a great division. Yeah. 269 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,840 It used to be a great division. Like four years ago. You have. 270 00:16:46,410 --> 00:16:49,440 There was a time. Dodgers who are always on top. Yeah. 271 00:16:49,470 --> 00:16:53,010 Then you have the Padres, who always think they can do something. 272 00:16:53,130 --> 00:16:55,770 And then you have the Diamondbacks that are like, hey, we're still 273 00:16:55,770 --> 00:17:00,180 going to win like 89 games, right? But there was a time when 274 00:17:00,210 --> 00:17:02,820 Diamondbacks were good, the Giants were good, 275 00:17:02,820 --> 00:17:06,360 and the Padres were coming up. Now, like the Giants have sucked for 276 00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:09,660 a couple of years and Diamondbacks are kind of taking it back. 277 00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:12,750 Now it's just the Dodgers and the Padres, basically. Yeah. 278 00:17:12,750 --> 00:17:15,180 And again, it's the Padres scraping by till 279 00:17:15,180 --> 00:17:18,270 the all star break. And then but. You know we're winning over 100 280 00:17:18,270 --> 00:17:20,970 games. You know we're winning. What is it like 110 games a season 281 00:17:20,970 --> 00:17:24,240 or whatever get knocked out in the first round of the playoffs? Payroll? 282 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,310 I'd hope you'd be winning that many. Right. 283 00:17:26,340 --> 00:17:31,910 I'm just saying his decisions in the playoffs are questionable at best. 284 00:17:32,330 --> 00:17:35,960 Not a good pitching coach. Well, he's not a pitching coach. 285 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,990 He's a yeah, he should not make any of those decisions anyways. 286 00:17:38,990 --> 00:17:42,830 Not a baseball show. Listening to a Dodgers fan 287 00:17:42,830 --> 00:17:47,750 complain about the Dodgers is like listening to a rich guy complain 288 00:17:47,750 --> 00:17:51,440 that his house isn't big enough. Or his mortgage is too high. 289 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:57,110 Yes, this is. Ellen. This is absurd. Yeah, I don't know. 290 00:17:57,140 --> 00:18:00,350 I, I'm not a fan of Dave Roberts. I don't I don't think he's that 291 00:18:00,350 --> 00:18:01,550 great of a manager. I think they, 292 00:18:01,550 --> 00:18:04,040 they win because they're good not because they're well managed. 293 00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:07,370 I think he's a player's manager. That's what he is. All right. 294 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,980 And he has more World Series rings than you do. Yes. Three more. Yes. 295 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,510 You know he knows what he's doing. Not a Dodger show. Not a Dodger show. 296 00:18:18,590 --> 00:18:23,090 How those brewers doing. Uh, third lowest payroll in the 297 00:18:23,090 --> 00:18:28,700 league. Not as bad as the Cardinals. Early power rankings. 298 00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:35,510 We were number 19 and, uh, picked third third in the division, 299 00:18:35,510 --> 00:18:39,530 so. All right. Yeah. But we were also picked fourth 300 00:18:39,530 --> 00:18:42,740 and fifth all last year in all the preseason rankings. 301 00:18:42,740 --> 00:18:46,580 And we took the central and then we lost. 302 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:48,470 Still did better than you were supposed to. 303 00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:52,370 So maybe we'll do better this year. Yeah. Fingers crossed, I'm hoping. 304 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,100 Yeah. Anyways, not a baseball show. It's not. 305 00:18:55,130 --> 00:18:59,840 I could talk about it for days. Yeah. Um, so San Francisco. Yeah, it was. 306 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:05,000 Great and expensive and, uh. Yeah, the last day, the last thing 307 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,170 I'll say, the last day we were there, uh, we were flying out at, like, 308 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,500 I don't remember, 3 or 4:00 or something like that. 309 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,780 We had some time to kill. We had to check out at 11. 310 00:19:14,780 --> 00:19:18,470 Luckily, they held our bags for us. We found this little tiny, 311 00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:22,640 just absolute shack right along the water, not too far from the 312 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,670 baseball stadium. and it was great. We went in there. 313 00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:28,310 We got like a normal person's breakfast, you know, like eggs, 314 00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:32,300 bacon, hash browns kind of thing. Toast, sourdough, of course, 315 00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:35,660 San Francisco. And even though it was a Monday 316 00:19:35,660 --> 00:19:41,150 morning, the bar was open. So we sat out on the water like 317 00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:45,500 legit on the water, had our tasty, simple breakfast, 318 00:19:45,530 --> 00:19:50,180 had a few mimosas and just enjoyed the fucking view. It's great. 319 00:19:50,210 --> 00:19:53,870 It's what life's all about man. Oh, there was this old man that was 320 00:19:53,870 --> 00:19:58,730 in one of those not wheelchairs, but like old people. Scooters. Okay. 321 00:19:58,790 --> 00:20:01,310 Yeah, like little three Wheeler things. Yeah. 322 00:20:01,430 --> 00:20:04,010 And clearly he, you know, he was probably in his 80s, 323 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,290 looked looked pretty old, definitely retired. 324 00:20:06,350 --> 00:20:11,510 And I would hope he came. Yeah. He came in, ordered his breakfast. 325 00:20:11,540 --> 00:20:14,030 He got a breakfast burrito, went to the bar, 326 00:20:14,060 --> 00:20:18,530 got his fucking PBR and just went out there and enjoyed it like we did. 327 00:20:18,530 --> 00:20:22,320 And I was like, this guy has the fucking In life. 328 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,160 And I bet he lived a good one too. I bet he did. He's retired. 329 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,230 He knows what he wants. He wants his breakfast burrito 330 00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:31,290 and his PBR, and he wants to have it on the water. 331 00:20:31,290 --> 00:20:35,580 And I was like, this is the dream right here. You're not wrong. 332 00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:41,160 Yeah, I was very jealous. I don't even get that. I'm 36. Right? 333 00:20:41,790 --> 00:20:44,430 Like, man, I should start having breakfast on 334 00:20:44,430 --> 00:20:48,690 water with with a PBR or something. Right. You're doing it wrong, man. 335 00:20:49,020 --> 00:20:52,470 You gotta rethink my inks. Get. Get to one of the Great Lakes and 336 00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:57,120 get a breakfast burrito and a PBR. You're doing it wrong. What? 337 00:20:57,150 --> 00:21:00,780 Great lake is next to you? Michigan. That one. Get to Michigan. 338 00:21:01,050 --> 00:21:04,110 Get to the big water thing. It's only about, I don't know, 339 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,910 seven miles for me. Something like that, I don't know. 340 00:21:09,150 --> 00:21:11,970 Oh, what a deal. All right. Hey, once upon a time, 341 00:21:11,970 --> 00:21:13,920 this is a beer show. Let's find out what Flex is 342 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,120 drinking over there. In a world where craft beer is king. 343 00:21:18,570 --> 00:21:24,060 A world where muscles are bigger than growlers. Only one tank in Guinness. 344 00:21:24,090 --> 00:21:31,260 One man, one ton, one Tongue-jobber. In this world. 345 00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:36,360 We must find out what is Flex drinking? 346 00:21:37,020 --> 00:21:39,210 Well, I'm drinking a beer from Young Blood Beer company. 347 00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:43,110 What's in Madison? So nothing to do with Sheboygan 348 00:21:43,140 --> 00:21:48,150 except the beer name is called The King of Sheboygan. 349 00:21:48,930 --> 00:21:53,760 And it's got this sheep, and it's got a crown on it. 350 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,150 And it's in all this royal garb. Oh, yeah. Very fancy. 351 00:21:57,180 --> 00:22:02,250 And it's just a really fun can. And there's a brewery up there 352 00:22:02,250 --> 00:22:05,670 that I've had on this show before. Three sheeps. Mhm. 353 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:11,010 And they're in Sheboygan and I, I had to Google tonight. 354 00:22:11,010 --> 00:22:14,940 What the fuck is so significant about sheep and Sheboygan. 355 00:22:15,150 --> 00:22:19,510 Because apparently it's everywhere. Well, 356 00:22:19,540 --> 00:22:24,790 Google tells me that they're sheep. Sheep are important in velvet 357 00:22:24,790 --> 00:22:28,240 sheep farms in Sheboygan. So Velvet Sheep Farms, 358 00:22:28,510 --> 00:22:33,370 which raises sheep for fiber, clothing and experiences. It says so. 359 00:22:33,370 --> 00:22:35,380 I don't know what kind of experiences, 360 00:22:35,650 --> 00:22:40,510 but I guess there's a really prestigious sheep farm up there. 361 00:22:40,540 --> 00:22:45,460 Oh. All right. Cool. Fun story. Uh, so anyway, back to the beer. 362 00:22:45,460 --> 00:22:50,650 And not about the sheep. Uh, this is an 8.5% double New 363 00:22:50,650 --> 00:22:54,610 England IPA. It contains Citra, Motueka, 364 00:22:54,610 --> 00:23:04,360 and Eureka hops. Eureka! Sorry. They say, um, this can holds, 365 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:10,750 uh, Sheboygan. Shivaji's the coastal progeny of the 366 00:23:10,750 --> 00:23:15,670 Laurentide Ice Sheet and lovingly dubbed the Malibu of the Midwest. 367 00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:20,330 Not a joke. Home to Terry Andre State Park, 368 00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:26,210 an inordinate amount of sinks, toilets and bathtubs to the King 369 00:23:26,210 --> 00:23:30,590 Citra Motueka dance, and a delightfully tropical 370 00:23:30,590 --> 00:23:35,780 chassis that would put Gangnam Style to home before giving the 371 00:23:35,780 --> 00:23:41,270 floor to Eureka in all of its blackcurrant and pine needle vibes. 372 00:23:42,410 --> 00:23:45,920 Um, it's. Quite the description. I love these descriptions. 373 00:23:45,950 --> 00:23:49,700 Uh, these guys, they always have really fun. Uh, ridiculous. 374 00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:52,910 Over the top unnecessary descriptions. 375 00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:58,790 Uh, untapped has this at a 402 459 check ins. It must be relatively new. 376 00:23:58,820 --> 00:24:02,300 I don't know, I didn't check again. I said it's an eight and a half 377 00:24:02,300 --> 00:24:06,890 percenter. And let's dive in. Here he goes. 378 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,070 So it says, what does it say here? Tropical chassis, 379 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,390 blackcurrant pine needle vibes. There is some kind of tropical 380 00:24:14,390 --> 00:24:17,990 fruit on the nose. Are you picking up on the chassis? 381 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:28,010 My guess is like papaya or guava, but it. I'm thinking more papaya. Okay. 382 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,970 You would know of all people. Yeah. I don't like papaya, so I think 383 00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:38,120 that's why I think that's what it is. Mhm. But it's super duper tropically. 384 00:24:38,150 --> 00:24:43,400 Now without further ado. Ooh. The old Tongue-jobber. 385 00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:49,340 As it runs away. So whatever I'm smelling on the nose, 386 00:24:49,460 --> 00:24:54,740 I'm gonna say papaya. It is coming out in droves on my 387 00:24:54,740 --> 00:24:57,800 palate. I don't hate it. So here's a fun fact about a lot of 388 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,240 fruits. I don't like eating them. I love the flavors of them. 389 00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:06,800 Oh, damn. Mangoes don't like them. Love all the flavor. 390 00:25:06,980 --> 00:25:09,260 I love a mango smoothie. I don't want to eat a mango. 391 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,930 Yeah, they're gross. Right? Yeah. They're terrible. 392 00:25:13,170 --> 00:25:17,670 So papaya can't fucking stand it. Love when the notes pop up 100%. 393 00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:21,810 Um, there's zero bitterness to this beer. The carbonation? 394 00:25:21,810 --> 00:25:27,630 Super low. It is very soft. Mouthfeel, has a wonderful lacing. 395 00:25:27,660 --> 00:25:29,850 That's great lacing. The color again, 396 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,200 it's like this golden yellow. Almost getting to that amber look. 397 00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:36,360 Yeah. It's a little on the dark side. Right. 398 00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:40,020 So you'd think it might be a little malty. It's not. Surprising. 399 00:25:40,110 --> 00:25:43,920 Um, very surprising, but you'd know because I fucking hate that. 400 00:25:44,070 --> 00:25:46,440 And I would tell you all about it, and I didn't. 401 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,750 So, uh, another fantastic beer. I love when I get these two for two. 402 00:25:51,780 --> 00:25:55,890 Knock it out of the park on the shows. Uh Young Blood. 403 00:25:56,460 --> 00:25:59,670 These guys really never disappoint. I don't think I've ever had an 404 00:25:59,670 --> 00:26:02,790 actual bad beer from them. You've had them on the show before, 405 00:26:02,790 --> 00:26:05,580 right? I love drinking them. I've had them on the show multiple 406 00:26:05,580 --> 00:26:09,930 times. Yeah, big, big fan of them. Uh, so cheers to them again for 407 00:26:09,930 --> 00:26:13,540 another delicious, uh, delicious brew. So. Yeah. 408 00:26:13,570 --> 00:26:17,920 Send send us more beer. Young Blood. Yeah. We love you. Send us beer. 409 00:26:17,950 --> 00:26:24,670 Young Blood. Are you listening? A Christmas song? 410 00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:26,740 Well, yeah, that's what it was. It was. Oh, okay. 411 00:26:27,580 --> 00:26:29,920 Oh, I didn't have any more made up lyrics, though, so I stopped. 412 00:26:29,950 --> 00:26:32,890 Fair enough. I ruined it for you. Uh. All right. 413 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,000 A little news before we get out of here. 414 00:26:34,030 --> 00:26:38,590 Oh, by the way, end of the show. I got a list for you. Oh, daddy. 415 00:26:38,620 --> 00:26:43,570 Yeah. Keep it. Down. Daddy loves lists. Keep it down. 416 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,770 Pitching a tent. Well, your table's moving. Uh. 417 00:26:47,770 --> 00:26:50,260 All right. Georgia. We talked a couple of weeks ago 418 00:26:50,260 --> 00:26:53,350 about, uh, Georgia trying to pass new laws for distribution, 419 00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:55,300 small breweries being able to distribute their own share, blah, 420 00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:58,060 blah, blah. Just let them do it. This will surprise you. 421 00:26:58,090 --> 00:27:03,490 Georgia distributors oppose the self-distribution laws. That's crazy. 422 00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:06,430 Yeah, I could read the whole thing, but there's no point. 423 00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:10,850 They say a bill like SB 122 would undermine carefully crafted laws 424 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,300 by Budweiser and lead to unintended consequences that 425 00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:18,110 would negatively impact other businesses and the industry. 426 00:27:18,140 --> 00:27:22,100 Consequences that small craft brewery advocates aren't seeing. 427 00:27:22,130 --> 00:27:25,670 Oh, you mean like brewers would make money and you guys would be stuck 428 00:27:25,670 --> 00:27:28,070 because your job shouldn't exist? Is that what. You're talking about? 429 00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:30,470 Right, right right right right right right. 430 00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:35,000 Yeah. Anyways, uh, blah blah blah. Suck at distributors. 431 00:27:35,030 --> 00:27:38,090 My favorite thing about Self-distribution. 432 00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:41,420 First of all, it's when you're a little brewery 433 00:27:41,420 --> 00:27:45,440 and it's the only thing you can do. Um, it helps get you out there, 434 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,960 but also because they're doing it, it keeps the price of the beer down 435 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,970 in the stores. Yeah. Which is great. And isn't it cool when, you know, 436 00:27:55,970 --> 00:27:58,550 it's a very small brewery and you see them on a shelf somewhere? 437 00:27:58,550 --> 00:28:01,430 It's like, oh, that's so fucking sweet. They, you know, they put some. 438 00:28:01,730 --> 00:28:05,390 Or you even see their cars driving around somewhere or parked 439 00:28:05,390 --> 00:28:08,550 somewhere or stopped somewhere. You're like, man, that is the 440 00:28:08,550 --> 00:28:13,290 fucking. That's it right there. Yeah, they have a dream and that 441 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,380 they're coming to fruition like they're trying to make it. 442 00:28:16,380 --> 00:28:19,050 That's awesome. And green decorated their truck to 443 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,700 look like it was wearing lederhosen. That's brilliant. It's pretty fancy. 444 00:28:23,730 --> 00:28:25,620 You can't miss it. You can't. Miss it. 445 00:28:25,650 --> 00:28:28,260 It's so on brand for them, too. Yeah. It's so good. 446 00:28:28,290 --> 00:28:30,930 So if you ever see the lederhosen truck driving around, 447 00:28:30,930 --> 00:28:33,960 uh, Southern California, that's most likely in green. 448 00:28:33,990 --> 00:28:40,680 Is there a lot of self distro in California? Um, yes and no. 449 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,970 So integrin actually has partnered with Stone for their distribution. 450 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,170 Okay. As has Tarantula Hill. So there's a lot of like we 451 00:28:49,170 --> 00:28:53,130 partner with Stone. Like it seems like the first 452 00:28:53,130 --> 00:28:56,580 step to a small brewery becoming like a little bit bigger. Yep. 453 00:28:56,610 --> 00:29:01,380 Is partnering with Stone integrin. Did it? Tarantula Hill did it. 454 00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:04,710 Um. Midwest did it? It seems like stone and stone 455 00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:08,210 distribution is completely separate now of stone brewing. 456 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,680 Sapporo does not own the distribution arm, so it just they, 457 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,350 they sort of pick and choose who they want to bring on to their 458 00:29:15,350 --> 00:29:19,880 distribution. And, um, yeah. So it's its own separate entity, 459 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,580 I like that. Yeah. It was separate before, 460 00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:25,400 but same owners. And after the sale, you know, 461 00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:27,260 they didn't they didn't buy the distribution side. 462 00:29:27,260 --> 00:29:35,540 So, uh, I guess it's still craft. I don't know, man. Jesus. I give up. 463 00:29:35,570 --> 00:29:39,260 What is anything anymore? Yeah. This is just now the Beer Republic. 464 00:29:39,590 --> 00:29:42,590 Um, I figured I'd bring this up because I was just in Austin. 465 00:29:42,620 --> 00:29:48,590 A move to ban THC in Texas is going on. So Texas is weird. 466 00:29:48,590 --> 00:29:52,070 When we were in Austin, we smelled dank and dank weed 467 00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:56,720 smell often and which I like. I am not against the smell of weed. 468 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,320 I think it's a nice smell. But it was weird because I know 469 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,560 in Texas it's not legal. So did some research. 470 00:30:04,590 --> 00:30:09,120 Asked a couple people over there. So apparently in Austin specifically, 471 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,760 they've decriminalized. It's like what they did in 472 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,400 Madison for a while. Yeah. Yeah, it's not legal, 473 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,780 but it's decriminalized. Also, marijuana is not legal in 474 00:30:18,780 --> 00:30:24,630 Texas, but hemp is and you can. And what they've done is they've 475 00:30:24,630 --> 00:30:29,430 made strains of hemp that are more THC intensive than others. 476 00:30:29,430 --> 00:30:34,170 And so the reason they didn't supposedly outlaw hemp originally 477 00:30:34,170 --> 00:30:39,210 was because, you know, clothes and paper and other hemp products. 478 00:30:39,210 --> 00:30:43,410 Well, they found all the loopholes, bred it for THC, 479 00:30:44,580 --> 00:30:48,030 and now you can get pretty high on some hemp in Texas. Damn. 480 00:30:48,030 --> 00:30:51,630 So it's like sort of legal, but not. And Austin doesn't give a shit 481 00:30:51,630 --> 00:30:55,200 because Austin's just fucking cool. It's just like the Delta variants 482 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,770 and shit here that when they come out with like a THC seltzer, 483 00:30:58,770 --> 00:31:02,920 or you go to your gas station and there's just jars of the shit. 484 00:31:03,910 --> 00:31:08,830 Jars of THC. Yeah, 100%. Really? Yeah. There's a liquor store. 485 00:31:08,860 --> 00:31:14,740 I don't know, a 300ft from our fucking shop that I work at. 486 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,870 And, uh, that you walk in there and they have just fucking jars 487 00:31:19,990 --> 00:31:26,140 all labeled as different shit. Wow. Wow. Yeah. And it smells. 488 00:31:26,170 --> 00:31:30,220 It smells just like you would think something like that would smell. 489 00:31:30,250 --> 00:31:32,200 Well, it's funny, someone was just talking about. 490 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,810 I can't remember where it might have been. Minnesota somewhere. 491 00:31:34,810 --> 00:31:39,670 Not Wisconsin, but not far from Wisconsin about how it's not legal. 492 00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:44,500 But they have THC drinks. And I said, oh, my buddy Flex. 493 00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:47,620 Same thing. Like weed's not legal in Wisconsin, 494 00:31:47,620 --> 00:31:50,140 but you know, he's found his way in some THC 495 00:31:50,290 --> 00:31:55,360 drinks before and enjoys them. Yeah. And you go to any liquor store 496 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,890 and they have at least like a four foot shelf section of top to 497 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:03,910 bottom all THC shit. That's insane. And in California, you will never 498 00:32:03,910 --> 00:32:08,140 find that in a liquor store. You can only get THC beverages in 499 00:32:08,140 --> 00:32:12,430 a weed shop. Interesting. Yeah. So anyways, Texas is trying to 500 00:32:12,460 --> 00:32:14,860 ban all that shit because they're boring and they're rednecks and 501 00:32:14,860 --> 00:32:17,710 they're Texas. Yeah. That's weird. Why would you do that if it's 502 00:32:17,710 --> 00:32:21,550 just going to make money? That's the thing. Just tax it. 503 00:32:21,580 --> 00:32:25,630 Make some money. Yeah. Help! Help us get out of this 504 00:32:25,630 --> 00:32:33,010 $32 trillion debt and growing. Not a political show. 505 00:32:33,970 --> 00:32:37,870 Um, speaking of Minnesota in the Midwest, a Minnesota funeral director 506 00:32:37,870 --> 00:32:42,880 was accused of DWI after allegedly arriving drunk to pick up a body. 507 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,080 You know, that's actually probably the best thing you could say 508 00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:50,740 after saying a funeral director. Dot dot dot.
