Dude, I am in the same fucking boat. 7 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,680 I think we just talked six hours for, you know, food. 8 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,680 Yeah, it's been about six hours. No food, but I've had a couple beers. 9 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,920 Five and a half, uh, two seltzers, one and a half beers. Yeah. 10 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,160 Yeah, it's. Gonna be a show. Let's see how much reading I have to 11 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:51,840 do tonight. Hopefully not. Much. We know words are hard, dude. 12 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,960 Words are hard enough on their own. I just saw what you're drinking. 13 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,480 I've been reading a book on Greek mythology. 14 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,520 I'm trying to enlighten myself. Oh. All right. 15 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,360 By reading, uh, trying to pronounce some of those words and names in 16 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,920 your head. Yeah. Good luck. Fuck, man. I I'm trying my best. 17 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:16,200 That's all I can do. Zeus.

We got a ludicrous libation. 21 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,840 I feel like it's been a minute. Uh, I'm gonna get classy drunk. 22 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,800 I'll tell you about that shortly. But before we get into anything, 23 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,400 shout out to Salt Lake City, Utah for being our top listing city of 24 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,240 the week. Yeah. What up, Salt Lake? Isn't all of Utah Salt Lake City 25 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,280 like? I think so. Well, no, there's two. 26 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,360 There's like Salt Lake and then there's pro Provo. Provo. Provo. 27 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,880 Yeah. We're the Mormons are. Right on BYU. Right? 28 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,920 I wonder where Steph is. Is she Salt Lake or is she Provo? 29 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:02,480 I would have a a guess. Salt Lake side. Fingers crossed. 30 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,120 Because I don't think she's Mormon anymore. Not by choice. 31 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,800 Yeah, something like that. So anyways. Not a mormon show? 32 00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:13,040 No, I tell you what. Uh. Definitely not. 33 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,720 Have I told you my Mormon lineage? I wish she didn't. 34 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,400 Okay, then I won't. No, I I'm actually curious now. 35 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,640 Just wanted to be a dick. So if you go to the the temple 36 00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:30,600 in Salt Lake City, Utah, you know, they're big on, like, 37 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,000 ancestry and stuff. The Mormons are. And you can put in your your 38 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,280 name and whatever. Is it actually called the temple 39 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,200 there? Like a mormon temple? I think I think so, temple. Temple. 40 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,040 I know someone who gives a shit. Let me know. 41 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,400 I, um, the I've had bad experiences with the Mormons, so, uh, don't care. 42 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,280 But anyways, uh, you can put in, like, your name. 43 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,240 You can, you can chase down your family lineage. And my dad did. 44 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,880 I've been there also, but my dad did this and actually spent the 45 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,810 time and like, did some chasing. Turns out we are related to the 46 00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:04,250 same Jones that was Brigham Young's lawyer. Oh. 47 00:03:04,570 --> 00:03:07,610 And like, who tried to, you know, get him not killed? 48 00:03:08,050 --> 00:03:10,330 Clearly lawyers because it didn't work. 49 00:03:10,330 --> 00:03:15,210 But, uh, it's for the best, honestly. You come from lawyer blood. 50 00:03:15,650 --> 00:03:23,130 That's right. Big city over here. Oh, yeah. But you know what? 51 00:03:23,170 --> 00:03:25,650 Not a mormon show. That's way more Mormon talk than I 52 00:03:25,650 --> 00:03:27,570 ever wanted to have on this podcast. Yeah, we don't need it. 53 00:03:27,570 --> 00:03:30,130 Just drink caffeine. Drink alcohol. Let's go. 54 00:03:30,170 --> 00:03:33,690 Yeah, and have premarital sex. All the things. And one wife. 55 00:03:35,010 --> 00:03:39,250 Well. You know what? You know. Could you imagine more than one 56 00:03:39,290 --> 00:03:43,570 headache? I don't know. Yeah. Oof! And what happens? 57 00:03:43,610 --> 00:03:45,970 Like, if you get a divorce, do you divorce them both at the 58 00:03:45,970 --> 00:03:49,330 same time? Like that. Sounds. Like. It's separate divorces, 59 00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:53,330 which is even even more expensive. Well there's that. Yeah. Yeah. 60 00:03:54,090 --> 00:03:57,410 I want the I'm not a lawyer. Just might. 61 00:03:57,650 --> 00:04:02,770 But alas, third time's the charm. Not a mormon show. No. 62 00:04:03,050 --> 00:04:13,690 And we're gonna end it there. Out of my depth. Out of my beer. 63 00:04:16,050 --> 00:04:24,050 Out of my bed. Out of my beer. I picked this beer up only 64 00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:28,610 because of Flex. Ooh. And I'm mostly done with it now. 65 00:04:28,650 --> 00:04:36,090 I am drinking from 4 Hands Brewing Company. Voltron volume seven. 66 00:04:36,210 --> 00:04:42,090 Nice, dude. Here it is. Here's my can. I think art is always. 67 00:04:42,130 --> 00:04:45,450 Crapped out at volume 6 or 5. I can't remember what it was. 68 00:04:45,570 --> 00:04:48,610 Yeah, I think I had like 4 or 5. And then I saw this one come around 69 00:04:48,610 --> 00:04:51,090 on the Tavour and I was like, I'm gonna get it. 70 00:04:51,090 --> 00:04:56,130 That's awesome. 6.5% of 404. An untapped out of over 71 00:04:56,250 --> 00:04:59,290 a thousand ratings. They say the seventh release in 72 00:04:59,290 --> 00:05:02,090 a series of collaborations with breweries from around the country 73 00:05:02,090 --> 00:05:05,690 to bring Voltron to life. Voltron volume seven is a juicy, 74 00:05:05,730 --> 00:05:11,130 hazy IPA brewed with BK's Artisan Ales from Kansas City, 75 00:05:11,170 --> 00:05:15,130 Missouri and malt based. I was just gonna say I've heard 76 00:05:15,130 --> 00:05:17,810 of them. Yeah, okay, I have not a malt base 77 00:05:17,810 --> 00:05:23,850 composed of pale malt, white wheat, carapils, and flaked oats serves as 78 00:05:23,850 --> 00:05:28,210 a springboard for intense aromas and flavors of passion fruit melon, 79 00:05:28,290 --> 00:05:32,810 peach, tangy citrus and lychee provided by aggressive hopping with 80 00:05:32,810 --> 00:05:37,970 Nelson Sauvin Galaxy and Citra hops and Dyna Boost Citra, an oil 81 00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:44,090 enriched hop extract that amplifies aromatics. Are you right there? 82 00:05:44,130 --> 00:05:50,690 Oh man, I'm the schnoz. I'm getting like a hoppy, dank, 83 00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:55,690 bitter smell. Um, I'm not getting tons of tropical 84 00:05:55,690 --> 00:05:57,370 fruits that are in the description. No. 85 00:05:57,370 --> 00:06:00,490 No peach, no melon, maybe some passion. 86 00:06:00,490 --> 00:06:03,290 I honestly don't know what lychee would smell like. 87 00:06:03,610 --> 00:06:08,290 It's like, uh, it's a weird smell. Um. It's like fermented. 88 00:06:08,930 --> 00:06:15,410 Uh, it's hard to describe. All right. Well, on on ye olde Tongue-jobber. 89 00:06:17,610 --> 00:06:24,570 Oh. Gurgle, daddy. Gurgle. I'm getting mostly citrusy notes 90 00:06:25,210 --> 00:06:27,770 like that. Citrus is really coming through. 91 00:06:28,210 --> 00:06:31,050 Probably thanks to the Dynaboars Citra. Not so much melon. 92 00:06:31,050 --> 00:06:35,290 Maybe a hint of, like, passion fruit. I will say this has been sitting 93 00:06:35,290 --> 00:06:37,170 here for a while. It did warm up a little bit. 94 00:06:37,570 --> 00:06:41,330 I'm getting a lot of that Citra hop. I'm getting some, uh, 95 00:06:41,570 --> 00:06:44,890 some passion fruit. Not so much peach, not so much melon. 96 00:06:45,330 --> 00:06:48,690 But I'm still enjoying it. So the lacing. 97 00:06:49,130 --> 00:06:52,170 Every time you took a sip, I noticed. That was very nice. 98 00:06:52,210 --> 00:06:54,930 Great lacing. Definitely hazy. And would you consider it? 99 00:06:55,090 --> 00:06:57,890 I was just going to ask, is it juicier or hazier? 100 00:06:58,410 --> 00:07:01,250 Because they called it a juicy hazy. They called it juicy. Hazy. Yeah. 101 00:07:01,250 --> 00:07:04,130 It's like they were covering all their bets before it was released or 102 00:07:04,130 --> 00:07:07,330 something. Maybe they listened to us. As they should. 103 00:07:08,370 --> 00:07:12,250 Uh, yeah, I mean, it drinks mostly. I mean, drinks like a hazy. 104 00:07:12,290 --> 00:07:16,250 It looks like a hazy, so. Right. Yeah. It's it's. You call it a hazy. 105 00:07:16,250 --> 00:07:19,570 You guys are safe. Okay. Okay. I think you're all right. 106 00:07:19,810 --> 00:07:22,810 So he's curious about that. I thought that was a fun way to 107 00:07:22,850 --> 00:07:26,050 describe it. Yeah, it does leave a weird. 108 00:07:27,050 --> 00:07:30,210 I'm really overselling it here. It's very minor, but a little 109 00:07:30,210 --> 00:07:33,050 bit of a coating on the tongue. It almost is like a hot coating 110 00:07:33,050 --> 00:07:36,450 on the tongue if, like a. Like a hoppy West Coast type dealy. 111 00:07:37,050 --> 00:07:39,490 Yeah. Like like you had something just dank 112 00:07:39,530 --> 00:07:42,930 and bitter as fuck and your tongue is reeling from that experience. 113 00:07:42,970 --> 00:07:44,490 Interesting. I get a little bit of that like a, 114 00:07:44,530 --> 00:07:46,610 you know, 20s later. So it's interesting, 115 00:07:46,610 --> 00:07:52,170 but overall juicy and hazy and yes, all those things. Cool. Yeah. 116 00:07:52,210 --> 00:07:55,210 Good times. Um. All right, 117 00:07:55,210 --> 00:07:59,170 what is going on this weekend?

Wine drunk. Classy.

It's the house in Malibu that 124 00:08:18,930 --> 00:08:22,490 overlooks the ocean with the taco people.

Wow. And it's all you can drink, 129 00:08:36,810 --> 00:08:38,890 so I'll be doing that. I'll be getting classy. 130 00:08:38,930 --> 00:08:42,090 Fucked up, I cannot wait.

Yeah, I think. 150 00:10:02,020 --> 00:10:06,300 I think they, they cater to where they're catering. 151 00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:09,860 Like, hey, we're, uh, taco people in Malibu. 152 00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:14,980 We can kind of up our prices.

Hey, you mentioned something on 155 00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:26,940 the show last week, and I feel like you buried the lead here. 156 00:10:26,980 --> 00:10:28,500 I forget we were talking about something, 157 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:30,740 and you were talking about how. Oh, you were talking about being 158 00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:33,220 in Chicago and seeing LeBron James because the Lakers were 159 00:10:33,220 --> 00:10:35,380 playing the Bulls and all that. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. 160 00:10:35,780 --> 00:10:38,300 You buried the lead. Did you go to that ice cream 161 00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:41,780 museum or what? Oh shit. I talked about that. 162 00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:45,580 I totally forgot I talked about that. You talked about go before you 163 00:10:45,580 --> 00:10:47,420 actually went. You said you were going to go. 164 00:10:47,620 --> 00:10:50,300 I mean, I can summarize my Chicago trip. 165 00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:53,020 I've had a hard on for this ice cream museum ever since you 166 00:10:53,020 --> 00:10:57,140 first mentioned it. So I'm not ready to tell you the 167 00:10:57,140 --> 00:11:00,900 museum wasn't worth it. Oh, no. With the price and everything, 168 00:11:00,940 --> 00:11:05,020 it was. But it's all you can eat. Ice cream, right? Yes. Okay. 169 00:11:05,060 --> 00:11:08,260 Which was wonderful. I did have myself a lot of ice cream. 170 00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:12,420 Get your money's worth. No, not the family's money's worth. 171 00:11:12,460 --> 00:11:14,420 Oh, but. But your personal money's worth. 172 00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:18,780 Mhm. Uh oh. All right. I got some work to do. 173 00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:22,100 But Chicago was great. Um, Apple CarPlay, by the way, 174 00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:25,740 when you're traveling and you're driving. Yeah, it's my favorite. 175 00:11:26,620 --> 00:11:29,860 They find a shortcut, or they say they can save six minutes on your 176 00:11:29,860 --> 00:11:33,060 trip. Just hit the okay button. Don't be afraid to hit the okay 177 00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:36,100 button. I do it all the time. Well, we went to Saint Louis 178 00:11:36,140 --> 00:11:39,860 this past summer. I didn't want to fuck with anything, 179 00:11:39,860 --> 00:11:42,780 so I just didn't touch a single damn button. 180 00:11:42,780 --> 00:11:44,820 I just took the trip, the route, whatever. 181 00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:49,220 Um, driving into Chicago, I get real anxious about Chicago traffic because 182 00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:52,940 it's the pits and it's very, uh, a lot of anxiety, especially when 183 00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:57,460 I'm driving in unfamiliar areas. Sure. So Apple CarPlay. 184 00:11:57,460 --> 00:12:00,140 In your own car, do you guys fly in a rental car? Did you drive there? 185 00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:03,020 No, it's like an hour and a half drive. Oh, okay. So you. Drive? 186 00:12:03,060 --> 00:12:05,940 Yeah. Chicago's relatively close. So we're driving. 187 00:12:06,780 --> 00:12:09,820 It says, hey, you know, essentially you're about to get 188 00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:14,260 into downtown Chicago traffic. We can save six minutes on your trip. 189 00:12:14,260 --> 00:12:16,940 And, uh, I almost panicked because I didn't know what to do, 190 00:12:16,940 --> 00:12:19,740 and I hit the okay button, said, fuck it. We're gonna. 191 00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:23,580 We're gonna try this Apple CarPlay shit. Daddy's rolling the dice. 192 00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:31,620 Daddy rolled a seven because he won. Uh, they got us off on the next exit, 193 00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:35,580 and we took a couple side streets, you know, maybe two turns. 194 00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:40,220 And we were at our hotel much faster with little traffic, 195 00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:45,540 no traffic jams, no waiting on freeways. And it was wonderful. 196 00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:49,420 And I highly recommend it. And, uh, we went to a free zoo. 197 00:12:49,460 --> 00:12:53,420 They have a free zoo in downtown Chicago right off the lake. 198 00:12:53,780 --> 00:12:56,780 I think I've ever been to a free zoo. Oh, we went to two. 199 00:12:56,820 --> 00:13:00,140 Now the Saint Louis Zoo's free. And now this was. 200 00:13:00,140 --> 00:13:02,940 It was called the Lincoln Park Zoo. I'm going to the wrong zoos. 201 00:13:02,980 --> 00:13:06,340 It was super, super legit. Except, you know. 202 00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:10,380 No, I guess no except anything. It was super legit. Nice. 203 00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:13,580 So, from the zoo, we went to our hotel where we, you know, valet. 204 00:13:13,580 --> 00:13:15,860 And it was right off Michigan Avenue, which, if you don't know 205 00:13:15,860 --> 00:13:18,660 anything about Chicago. Michigan Avenue is like the big 206 00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:22,620 shopping district. Oh, okay. Up and down the ways. 207 00:13:22,860 --> 00:13:26,300 We went to the world's largest Starbucks, which I didn't 208 00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:30,140 realize was in Chicago. It is a five story Starbucks. 209 00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:34,340 Each floor has like a different menu and like different specialty 210 00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:37,740 drinks or foods that they have. And then the fifth floor is kind 211 00:13:37,780 --> 00:13:39,980 of cheating. It's just like a balcony that you can 212 00:13:40,380 --> 00:13:42,860 hang out on and drink your coffee. One of the floors, I think, 213 00:13:42,860 --> 00:13:45,700 was like the fourth floor. They do alcoholic coffee drinks. 214 00:13:46,140 --> 00:13:48,460 I'm in and they have like an entire bar. 215 00:13:48,820 --> 00:13:51,500 Any spirit you could ever imagine is there. 216 00:13:51,660 --> 00:13:55,220 Nothing gets me harder than an Irish coffee. Um, yeah. 217 00:13:55,260 --> 00:13:57,620 I don't even know if you can order an actual Irish coffee, 218 00:13:57,620 --> 00:14:00,820 because you can only order the menu items, which we found out. 219 00:14:00,860 --> 00:14:03,460 All right. Whatever it's called. Coffee with whiskey, please. 220 00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:06,700 Right. There you go. Uh, so I unfortunately did not 221 00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:11,260 order because I didn't want to make it like, a selfish visit. Right. 222 00:14:11,260 --> 00:14:13,300 Because there was nothing for the kids to drink. 223 00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:14,380 They could have ordered hot chocolate, 224 00:14:14,380 --> 00:14:17,660 but they really didn't want it. So I wasn't just going to sit 225 00:14:17,660 --> 00:14:22,820 there and drink hooch with coffee. So we just kind of went up and down. 226 00:14:23,780 --> 00:14:27,380 We ended up going to this ice cream, the Museum of Ice Cream. Right. 227 00:14:27,420 --> 00:14:31,660 Mhm. This is what I'm here for. 2:00 in the afternoon. Okay. 228 00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:35,140 Good. Ice cream time. Found out that you actually did have 229 00:14:35,140 --> 00:14:40,420 to purchase tickets online. Oh. Whoops. This place sells out. Oh. 230 00:14:41,140 --> 00:14:43,820 So right away my wife goes on her phone. 231 00:14:44,740 --> 00:14:49,150 Hey, there's tickets for 530, and they're $44 a person. 232 00:14:49,190 --> 00:14:52,590 Even the kids. Even the kids. There's no kid price. Oof! 233 00:14:53,110 --> 00:15:00,990 So after taxes, fees, whatever, etc., it was like $215 for a family of four 234 00:15:01,190 --> 00:15:06,830 to go to the Museum of Ice Cream. So it's $54 a person. Right? 235 00:15:06,830 --> 00:15:12,070 Because you're good at math. It's the lineage. My lawyer stuff. 236 00:15:12,270 --> 00:15:16,030 So you get in, they give you the spiel like, hey, ice cream, 237 00:15:16,030 --> 00:15:21,230 museum, blah blah, blah blah blah. You get a name tag and you're 238 00:15:21,230 --> 00:15:24,230 supposed to like, put ice cream flavor on your name tag. Mhm. 239 00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:28,590 And uh, I put I guess I don't know if anybody 240 00:15:28,590 --> 00:15:35,550 knows my real name on here. Uh oh. Well maybe I will because I thought 241 00:15:35,550 --> 00:15:38,590 my ice cream name was funny, so I'm gonna spill it. Okay. 242 00:15:39,190 --> 00:15:43,150 So, you know the ice cream flavor, like dulce de leche? Yes. 243 00:15:43,510 --> 00:15:49,510 So I thought to myself. It. This. Is. Really funny to put on. 244 00:15:49,790 --> 00:15:59,310 Well, let's just say Flex de Leche right? So the milk of Flex. Right? 245 00:15:59,830 --> 00:16:03,670 I just, I thought it was fucking brilliant. That is fantastic. Yeah. 246 00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:07,830 Um, and especially because it's like a kid environment. 247 00:16:07,870 --> 00:16:11,350 So I just thought it was right. Wait. I was just hoping for somebody 248 00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:13,670 to laugh, and nobody laughed. And I was just laughing in my 249 00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:17,270 head the entire fucking time. Uh, but, you know, 250 00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:19,710 they call it a museum. I couldn't tell you a fucking thing 251 00:16:19,710 --> 00:16:23,310 I learned or what I looked at, um, there's like, I don't know, 252 00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:27,150 7 or 8 different rooms you walk in. Each room has, like, 253 00:16:27,190 --> 00:16:31,590 an ice cream treat or a sweet treat. Mhm. There was a bar. 254 00:16:32,750 --> 00:16:34,710 I forgot what they called it. It wasn't a bar. 255 00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:39,390 It was like a staging area. But you could order some alcoholic 256 00:16:39,390 --> 00:16:43,550 beverages or alcoholic shakes or you know, but it was boozy. 257 00:16:43,550 --> 00:16:46,470 Shakes are so good. But it was all not included in the 258 00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:51,030 price. It was all extra. Nevermind. So it was just kind of like, man, 259 00:16:51,070 --> 00:16:55,910 like, what's the point of spending all this money to then just go spend 260 00:16:55,910 --> 00:17:00,790 more money? So we opted out of that. We got the free Dippin Dots. 261 00:17:01,430 --> 00:17:06,510 Um, there was a really weird treat in the first room. It was like some. 262 00:17:06,950 --> 00:17:11,190 It just tasted like creamed milk. Hmm. Was it Flex de Leche? 263 00:17:13,390 --> 00:17:20,950 Probably was. Damn it. Um. Then there was a sample. 264 00:17:20,990 --> 00:17:23,950 Boys and girls. There was a cotton candy ice 265 00:17:23,950 --> 00:17:26,750 cream in another room, which I'm a huge fan of. 266 00:17:26,790 --> 00:17:30,110 Cotton candy flavored anything. I have to cut you off. I'm so sorry. 267 00:17:30,510 --> 00:17:33,830 I just thought of the perfect ice cream name for you. Okay. 268 00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:41,070 It's Daddy de Leche. Daddy de Leche. Damn it! Opportunity missed. 269 00:17:41,150 --> 00:17:45,550 I was this close. So this close to nailing it. 270 00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:50,710 Damn it! Sorry. Continue. Uh, but the the best, uh, 271 00:17:50,830 --> 00:17:54,830 ice cream in the room was. It was like a pineapple sorbet, 272 00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:56,830 but it tasted like. It was like more like pineapple 273 00:17:56,870 --> 00:18:00,950 Dole whip. Okay. Love me a dole. So I definitely got myself a 274 00:18:00,950 --> 00:18:05,910 couple bowls of that. Uh, and then, like, the big feature, 275 00:18:05,950 --> 00:18:10,790 like, this is the big gather, right? The big grab for people to come 276 00:18:10,790 --> 00:18:12,910 there. As you remember, ball pits when 277 00:18:12,910 --> 00:18:16,190 we were a kid. Oh, yeah. Right. You go to, like, a Discovery Zone 278 00:18:16,190 --> 00:18:18,870 or Chuck E cheese or something, and you jump in the balls. 279 00:18:19,510 --> 00:18:23,310 Well, they have, like, a a sprinkle pit. Okay. 280 00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:27,710 And it is like a large pool, and it's filled with sprinkles. Sure. 281 00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:34,110 But the amount of kids and the amount of noise. Mhm mhm mhm. 282 00:18:34,670 --> 00:18:40,270 Was that such exceeding levels that we last said about seven minutes. 283 00:18:40,430 --> 00:18:42,910 And we all kind of looked at each other and were like looked 284 00:18:42,910 --> 00:18:45,310 at the kids and Together. You. Are you guys done? 285 00:18:45,910 --> 00:18:48,710 And they were like yep. Oh even the kids were out. 286 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:51,550 Oh even the kids were done. Because my next question was 287 00:18:51,550 --> 00:18:53,870 gonna be like, do you think that was when we were kids and we 288 00:18:53,870 --> 00:18:55,990 were going to Discovery Zone? Do you think our parents were like, 289 00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:59,270 well, fuck this place. It's noisy. But we never as kids thought that 290 00:18:59,270 --> 00:19:03,710 Discovery Zone was too noisy. No, because I mean, like, 291 00:19:04,110 --> 00:19:07,590 everybody standing around this pool, like, there's not a lot of room to, 292 00:19:07,630 --> 00:19:12,470 like, hang out. Mhm. So Discovery Zone, you're at 293 00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:15,750 your table, you're eating pizza. You're whatever being social 294 00:19:15,750 --> 00:19:20,390 with other adults. Sure. Well the kids are off getting stuck 295 00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:25,150 in ball pits and tubes and shit. So it was a lot to handle. 296 00:19:25,790 --> 00:19:28,550 And you know what? Something I hate is other people's 297 00:19:28,550 --> 00:19:35,030 kids. You know. Yeah. Makes sense. Hope Stetson listens to this one day. 298 00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:39,230 Uh, 316. Uh, other people's kids are the 299 00:19:39,230 --> 00:19:42,950 worst. Yeah. You know, and a lot of it is how 300 00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:46,190 they're parented. Yeah, it's really not the kids fault. 301 00:19:46,230 --> 00:19:49,830 Right, right, right. But, uh, it. Doesn't make them any. Better. 302 00:19:49,870 --> 00:19:52,190 It was enough to make us get the fuck out of there. 303 00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:58,430 So how long do you think we lasted? Paid $215. Oof! 304 00:19:59,390 --> 00:20:02,350 How long do you think we lasted in this museum of ice cream? 305 00:20:02,510 --> 00:20:07,150 I mean, I'd love to say that you lasted at least at a minimum 306 00:20:07,470 --> 00:20:10,670 two hours, but I'm thinking that's really optimistic. 307 00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:14,470 That's way optimistic, Greg. Okay. Like 45 minutes. 308 00:20:14,470 --> 00:20:19,070 35 minutes. 35 minutes. 35 minutes. Ooh. Yeah, that's. 309 00:20:19,070 --> 00:20:21,070 A lot of money for a little ice cream. 310 00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:26,030 It was, uh, it was for the kids, though. For the children? 311 00:20:26,110 --> 00:20:29,790 I just kept telling myself. Now, was this sponsored by a brand 312 00:20:29,790 --> 00:20:34,750 like, is this Breyers or Dreyer's or Ben and Jerry's or something? 313 00:20:34,750 --> 00:20:37,910 I didn't look it up. I don't know what the if there's 314 00:20:37,910 --> 00:20:42,400 any affiliate with anything, but they just call it the Museum 315 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,960 of Ice Cream. All right. Yeah. I don't know. Step up your game. 316 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,760 Museum of ice cream. Yeah, it was just. 317 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,160 It was really lackluster. That's too bad. 318 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,680 I was so excited to hear about this. Yeah, I was too. 319 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,360 I thought it was just, like a vast amount of ice creams. 320 00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,560 And you got to eat whatever you wanted. I'm an ice cream whore. 321 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,800 And they just came in. You'd go into a room and it was 322 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,640 either just like, you want this or you don't. 323 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:08,960 Some rooms had like two varieties to choose from. Sounds a little sexual. 324 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,320 And it was just like, you know, it just wasn't what I wanted. 325 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,760 Mhm. That is really too bad. It's like I feel like it needs 326 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,240 to pertain to adults and kids. Sounds like it pertained to neither. 327 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,440 Yeah I don't I don't think it was great. 328 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,880 I wouldn't recommend it to anybody who goes I wouldn't recommend it. 329 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,800 Damn it. But eventually. I've never been to Chicago. 330 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,960 Eventually I'll end up. And I thought this was something I 331 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,680 could add. I will tell you one thing. So the gift shop, you know, 332 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,960 is at the end of the whole thing, and then you walk out of the gift 333 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,440 shop and you're out in the street. We're unfamiliar with Chicago. 334 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,320 We go every year, but we still don't know what the fuck is. What? Sure. 335 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,560 So one of the girls in the gift shop, we said, hey, you know, 336 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,320 it's like 6:00 now. Do you have any recommendations 337 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,560 for dinner? She was like, well, what are you 338 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,240 thinking? I said, well, we got kids. Like, we're like family. 339 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,880 Like family dining. Like something easy, quick. 340 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,920 Uh, have you ever heard of the Billy Goat Tavern? I have not. 341 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,560 I never had either. So she said, 342 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,640 if you just walk across the street, walk down that set of stairs, 343 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,120 it's under the overpass. Like under the bridge. It's like in. 344 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,240 There's, like, two levels of Chicago. It's kind of bizarre, 345 00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:25,440 if that makes sense. And she said it's it's 346 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,120 underneath there. Okay. Well, that sounds kind of weird. 347 00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,760 So I looked it up and it was like a four and a half out of 348 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,240 five star rating. All right. So my wife was like, fuck it, 349 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,560 we're gonna go. It is the original location 350 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,200 Creation of the. If you're familiar, 351 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,560 the John Belushi cheeseburger. Cheeseburger. Cheeseburger. 352 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,320 No shit. Yes, I am very familiar. So it didn't click with me until we 353 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,520 got under the ground, turned around from the staircase, and it's like 354 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,480 on a big board in their window. It's like original Billy Goat Tavern, 355 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,920 home of the cheeseburger. Cheeseburger. Cheeseburger. 356 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,800 No, I didn't know that place had a name. Yeah. 357 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,760 So it was like, really fucking cool to go there. 358 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,560 I would say nostalgic, but that was still a bit away from my time. 359 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,960 Mhm. But I still knew what it was. Uh so yeah it was so quick, so easy. 360 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,560 The food ordering part was wonderful because you literally go to the 361 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,480 register, you tell them what you want, like one of this, one of this, 362 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,400 one of this, one of this. Right. And it's ready for you about 363 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,800 four seconds because they're cooking this food at a constant. Oh yeah. 364 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,200 They probably just never stop. The second you order it, 365 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,280 about three seconds later, it's done. And it was wonderful. 366 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,440 The burgers were wonderful. Whatever pickles they had were 367 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,720 top notch. I love pickles. It should be the only thing on 368 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,960 burgers. And it made my day. What didn't make my day was the 369 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,720 bartender. Oh. It was a long day in Chicago. 370 00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:56,960 Yeah, I just wanted a beer with my burger. 371 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,040 The bartender is on the other end of the bar taking a personal call. 372 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,200 Paying no mind to any patrons that needed beverages. Sure. 373 00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:08,760 Finally got off his phone, gave one guy his receipt, 374 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,160 walked up to me. Didn't say a word. I said I would like this beer. 375 00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:16,080 It was a Billy Goat pilsner. I don't know who. 376 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,840 They have their own beer. Yeah, they have two beers. 377 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,560 They have a Billy Goat IPA and a Billy Goat Pilsner. All right. 378 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,080 And I don't know who brews it. I was going to look into it. 379 00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:26,920 Did it lazy? Um. Still doesn't say a word to me 380 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,760 towards my beer. I hand him my card and say, 381 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,480 just the one. I'm going to close that right away. 382 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:38,200 He runs it, puts the receipt in front of me with my card, and walks away. 383 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,440 Mm says not one word to me. And I don't know if that's Chicago. 384 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,960 I don't know if that's just this gentleman, but it kind of rubbed 385 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,800 me the wrong way. Not a hey, what can I get you? 386 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,080 How you doing tonight? Thanks for stopping in. Thanks. 387 00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:55,800 Yeah. Just. Nope. Just. Hey, let me take my personal call. 388 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,680 Not say a word to you. Not say a word to you. Thanks. 389 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,520 You're welcome for the beer. Well, I can tell you it's made at 390 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,920 Miskatonic's Brewery in Darien, Illinois. Okay, well, there we go. 391 00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:12,680 Yeah, and it was a fine beer. Yeah, it was fine. 392 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,280 It wasn't great. It was fine. Did they do the whole cheeseburger? 393 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:20,000 Cheeseburger thing or. No, no, it's kind of busy. Yeah. 394 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,680 Like, I went to the register and I said, uh, what I need, 395 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,280 I needed one hot dog. I needed one hamburger, 396 00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:32,520 one cheeseburger and one double cheeseburger. And then I paid. 397 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,770 And then he, uh, gave me the drinks because I ordered some drinks. Right. 398 00:25:37,810 --> 00:25:39,970 And I said, all right, I'm gonna. I'll be right back. 399 00:25:39,970 --> 00:25:42,450 And he said, I just want to let you know your food's ready. 400 00:25:43,530 --> 00:25:45,570 You're like, what? He wasn't rude about it. 401 00:25:45,570 --> 00:25:48,810 He was just like, just so you know, you're like, by. The. Way, he knew. 402 00:25:48,850 --> 00:25:51,810 Like I was new. Yeah. And, uh, I said, yeah, I said, 403 00:25:51,810 --> 00:25:54,170 I just bring these drinks to the table and I'll come back. 404 00:25:54,210 --> 00:25:58,490 And sure enough, I went right back to the register and my food was, 405 00:25:58,730 --> 00:26:01,410 uh, like, the best part is to they don't even put it on plates. 406 00:26:01,730 --> 00:26:05,290 They take wax papers. They. Just take sheets of wax paper, 407 00:26:05,290 --> 00:26:07,450 and they put it out. And then your burgers on the wax 408 00:26:07,450 --> 00:26:08,810 paper, your hot dogs on the wax paper. 409 00:26:08,850 --> 00:26:11,130 We're not wasting time with plates. Yeah, they don't fucking waste 410 00:26:11,130 --> 00:26:14,930 any time. No money on supplies. It was fun. That's funny. 411 00:26:14,930 --> 00:26:17,890 It was a fun environment. And I would ten out of ten 412 00:26:17,890 --> 00:26:20,970 recommend going back there. Too bad their bartender's an asshole. 413 00:26:21,330 --> 00:26:27,210 Yeah. Bartender was a complete prick. But Pete the pickles. Top notch. 414 00:26:27,730 --> 00:26:31,650 Top notch pickles. Top notch pickles. I would have took em home with me. 415 00:26:31,690 --> 00:26:34,050 Oh, I've not been to Chicago. I need to go. 416 00:26:34,370 --> 00:26:36,690 It's one of the places that I haven't gone that I want to. 417 00:26:36,730 --> 00:26:40,010 And honestly, I don't know why we haven't gone. Yeah. 418 00:26:40,050 --> 00:26:44,130 I mean, my wife. The city is, uh. I don't think there's a lot of beer. 419 00:26:44,130 --> 00:26:46,450 Beer in the city, like, brewery wise. Yeah. 420 00:26:46,490 --> 00:26:47,730 I mean, we got river brewing out there. 421 00:26:47,770 --> 00:26:51,970 What up? Zack? Right? What up? Zack. But the city itself is just fun. 422 00:26:51,970 --> 00:26:54,090 It's entertaining. You could walk up and down it 423 00:26:54,090 --> 00:26:56,530 for hours. Yeah, they got all the fucking 424 00:26:56,530 --> 00:27:00,850 museums, the aquarium, the fucking. Thing. Free zoo. 425 00:27:00,890 --> 00:27:04,370 We went to the bean the next day. We did walk to Millennium Park. 426 00:27:04,850 --> 00:27:08,170 Uh, I did not flick the bean. Uh, that's too bad. 427 00:27:08,610 --> 00:27:13,490 I did think how funny that would have been, but, uh, that'd be. 428 00:27:13,490 --> 00:27:16,170 A great picture to receive. Millennium Park. 429 00:27:16,210 --> 00:27:18,770 It's a super fun place. And if you've never seen the Bean, 430 00:27:18,770 --> 00:27:21,810 it's, I don't know, the first time. It's kind of like, Holy shit, 431 00:27:21,810 --> 00:27:26,610 that's fucking massive, bean. And why anybody, any artist thought a 432 00:27:26,650 --> 00:27:31,770 giant steel bean would be like a piece of art, like, I don't know. 433 00:27:31,770 --> 00:27:36,090 Again, mind blowing, but. Right. You know, people also bought a 434 00:27:36,130 --> 00:27:39,690 duct tape banana to a ball. So. Well, there is that right? 435 00:27:40,010 --> 00:27:43,770 That was real art. Anything is art. Yes, exactly. Well, good. 436 00:27:43,810 --> 00:27:46,850 Good ish times then. Yeah. I'm sorry. I won't be going to the ice 437 00:27:46,850 --> 00:27:49,010 cream museum. I was very. Excited. Don't be sorry. 438 00:27:49,050 --> 00:27:52,770 Don't go. Oh, it's too bad. I. I don't know if I've said it enough, 439 00:27:52,770 --> 00:27:55,410 but I fucking love ice cream. What's your favorite flavor? 440 00:27:55,490 --> 00:28:00,170 Where do I begin? So forever. It was Rocky Road, and I still have a 441 00:28:00,170 --> 00:28:05,450 soft spot for Rocky Road nowadays. Uh, it usually is. 442 00:28:05,650 --> 00:28:09,570 Peanut butter ice cream with no sorry, chocolate ice cream with 443 00:28:09,570 --> 00:28:13,010 peanut butter. Okay, I love those ribbons of peanut 444 00:28:13,010 --> 00:28:16,490 butter throughout the chocolate. I do love ribbons more than I 445 00:28:16,490 --> 00:28:22,330 like actual physical pieces. Yeah, I don't like chocolate 446 00:28:22,330 --> 00:28:25,530 peanut butter cup ice cream. I love ice cream and I love 447 00:28:25,530 --> 00:28:28,330 chocolate peanut butter cups. I don't like them together. 448 00:28:28,330 --> 00:28:31,330 I want the ribbon of peanut butter throughout my chocolate ice cream. 449 00:28:31,330 --> 00:28:33,570 Frozen pieces of chocolate in my ice cream. 450 00:28:34,170 --> 00:28:36,370 Oh, you don't like chocolate chip? No. 451 00:28:36,650 --> 00:28:40,610 Oh, I like, I don't love, I do like chocolate. So crunchy. 452 00:28:41,050 --> 00:28:42,810 That's what I like about it I like texture. 453 00:28:42,850 --> 00:28:45,210 That's what I don't like about it. Oh, I like the texture. 454 00:28:45,610 --> 00:28:49,410 Like, if we get vanilla, I will dump little chocolate chips in there. 455 00:28:49,450 --> 00:28:51,970 Oh, I have mini chocolate chips that I put in there because they 456 00:28:52,010 --> 00:28:58,010 freeze faster. It's adorable. It's a science. 457 00:28:58,010 --> 00:29:02,610 I can't even hate you for that. But yeah, like, if if I'm gonna go, 458 00:29:02,650 --> 00:29:04,810 like, hey, what's the one ice cream you gotta die with? 459 00:29:05,290 --> 00:29:08,970 Chocolate with peanut butter. Okay, that's my baby, right? 460 00:29:08,970 --> 00:29:11,210 I can respect that, I like that. What about you? 461 00:29:11,210 --> 00:29:16,650 Besides Flex de Leche. So, Daddy de Leche. Um. 462 00:29:17,210 --> 00:29:21,570 Might be the name of this episode. Like I like, so we don't do, really, 463 00:29:21,610 --> 00:29:25,530 like, a lot of ice cream here. We do. Big custard fan, right? Oh, sure. 464 00:29:25,850 --> 00:29:30,050 So there's a local spot by me. They do a red raspberry, 465 00:29:31,130 --> 00:29:34,810 and it's raspberry flavored custard with frozen raspberries in it. 466 00:29:35,810 --> 00:29:40,690 That to me is complete. Top notch. Sounds so healthy. 467 00:29:41,370 --> 00:29:43,170 It's not though, because it's made with, like, 468 00:29:43,170 --> 00:29:46,330 butter. And that's your custards. Like super like. 469 00:29:46,490 --> 00:29:49,810 Fatty milks and butters. It's way worse than ice cream 470 00:29:49,810 --> 00:29:52,690 for you. It's so good. I love when people are like, oh, 471 00:29:52,730 --> 00:29:57,090 gelato is healthier than ice cream. Like, no it's not. You fucking idiot. 472 00:29:57,090 --> 00:30:00,770 People are dumb. People are dumb. But then secondly would be, uh, 473 00:30:00,770 --> 00:30:04,490 I've talked about on the show once before, Blue Moon. Oh. That's right. 474 00:30:04,530 --> 00:30:06,410 And you had to look it up. I did, yeah. 475 00:30:06,450 --> 00:30:09,410 It's a very Wisconsin thing. It is a big Wisconsin thing. So. 476 00:30:09,450 --> 00:30:13,290 Yeah. Not the beer, everybody. Not the beer, not the dough. No. 477 00:30:13,290 --> 00:30:16,650 Gross. Oh, no. No, no. That would be the worst ice 478 00:30:16,650 --> 00:30:20,970 cream flavor ever. Yes. Let me get some cilantro. 479 00:30:21,010 --> 00:30:29,610 Orange, please. Freaks. Nice notes of coriander. Well, sadly. 480 00:30:29,650 --> 00:30:32,690 Sadly, not an ice cream show. Yes. No. 481 00:30:32,730 --> 00:30:36,490 I'm sorry about the ice cream museum. I was excited about it. 482 00:30:36,530 --> 00:30:39,770 I'm still glad I got to hear about it, but I'm sorry it sucked. 483 00:30:40,130 --> 00:30:42,770 Well, Ludacris. Libation law. I should have pulled one from 484 00:30:42,770 --> 00:30:46,130 Illinois, but I did not. New Hampshire. 485 00:30:46,930 --> 00:30:50,890 Bars in New Hampshire may sell beer and wine. 486 00:30:50,890 --> 00:30:57,290 However, only restaurants may sell distilled spirits. Interesting. 487 00:30:57,330 --> 00:30:59,490 That's a weird one, too. Somebody tell me that's wrong. 488 00:30:59,530 --> 00:31:03,730 That can't be. Wrong. Yeah, it's from my list of weird 489 00:31:03,730 --> 00:31:06,370 laws, but, uh, it just. It doesn't feel right. 490 00:31:06,410 --> 00:31:09,530 I feel like it's so wrong that it doesn't feel right. Exactly. 491 00:31:09,530 --> 00:31:12,130 Like, I know there's some weird shit, but it's like restaurants can 492 00:31:12,130 --> 00:31:17,210 sell spirits, but not bars. Maybe the drinking lawyer can set 493 00:31:17,210 --> 00:31:19,770 this straight for us or something. Somebody's gotta know. 494 00:31:19,810 --> 00:31:21,970 Yeah, I did some quick googling before the show. 495 00:31:22,330 --> 00:31:27,170 I found varying reports of accuracy. So. Okay. Somebody let us know. 496 00:31:27,410 --> 00:31:30,170 Uh, all right, before we get some news, let's find out what Flex is 497 00:31:30,170 --> 00:31:34,100 drinking over there. Oh, shit. In a world where craft beer is king. 498 00:31:34,820 --> 00:31:37,700 A world where muscles are bigger than growlers. 499 00:31:38,260 --> 00:31:42,860 Only one tongue can guide us. One man, one tongue. 500 00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:49,140 One Tongue-jobber. In this world, we must find out 501 00:31:49,460 --> 00:31:56,660 what is Flex drinking? Well, this one's for Greg. Oh. 502 00:31:57,180 --> 00:32:00,780 All right. I sent him a picture of this beer. 503 00:32:01,220 --> 00:32:05,700 A. Couple of weeks ago. Oh. And you called me a sellout. 504 00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:08,660 I'm trying to remember this now. I'm going back through my text 505 00:32:08,660 --> 00:32:12,100 messages. See if you can get it. Um. Nope. 506 00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:17,460 That's me texting you about daddy. Me texting you about your mom. 507 00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:21,060 It's all pretty normal stuff. Uh, 508 00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:24,260 I was talking shit about somebody. I'm not seeing a beer photo pop up. 509 00:32:24,540 --> 00:32:29,380 Um, it was the picture of Leinenkugel’s Leinie Lodge Leinie 510 00:32:29,380 --> 00:32:35,180 Lodge Lime a Mexican style lager with natural lime flavor. 511 00:32:37,460 --> 00:32:40,780 I think we had a conversation. I said it sounded interesting. 512 00:32:40,820 --> 00:32:43,420 Maybe I'm looking on the wrong string. Maybe you DM'd it to me. 513 00:32:43,460 --> 00:32:45,940 Maybe that's what it was. Maybe that's what it was. 514 00:32:46,460 --> 00:32:49,940 Um, and like I said, I didn't go out and buy beer, 515 00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:54,220 and this was something that my buddy when he came down for opening day and 516 00:32:54,220 --> 00:32:58,420 we stopped at the liquor store and he thought it sounded interesting, 517 00:32:58,940 --> 00:33:02,460 and he did not like it, not one bit. So he left it in my fridge. 518 00:33:02,820 --> 00:33:10,780 So, uh, here I get to review the line. Leinie Lodge Lime. 519 00:33:11,020 --> 00:33:15,180 Never even poured it into a glass. No, I didn't, it's not worth it. 520 00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:19,500 Uh, I this might be the untapped. I don't know, 521 00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:23,500 they spelled liney wrong. It makes me think it's not real, 522 00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:28,860 but, uh, 500 check ins, which is wild. I think it's crazy. 523 00:33:28,980 --> 00:33:31,380 I don't know, maybe I know I spelled it right too. 524 00:33:31,860 --> 00:33:36,340 Yeah. There we go. Uh, yeah. 500 check ins, a 357, 525 00:33:36,340 --> 00:33:43,060 which is actually not terrible. And it reads at our pilot brewery at 526 00:33:43,060 --> 00:33:48,420 the Leinie Lodge in Chippewa Falls, which is no longer. Yeah. 527 00:33:49,700 --> 00:33:53,900 We crafted this Mexican style lager to be a perfect year round escape. 528 00:33:54,260 --> 00:33:58,340 Leinie Lodge Lime is juicy and crisp, with natural lime flavor and 529 00:33:58,340 --> 00:34:01,220 perceived notes of salt, giving you a bright, refreshing 530 00:34:01,260 --> 00:34:06,300 taste of a relaxing getaway anytime, anywhere. So tell you what. 531 00:34:06,340 --> 00:34:13,260 On the schnauzer from the can. Lots of lime. Mhm. Lots of lime. 532 00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:17,580 And, uh, kind of smells artificial, which is whatever, you know, 533 00:34:17,620 --> 00:34:22,060 I guess it says natural flavor. Sure. And then the old. Uh Tongue-jobber. 534 00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:26,580 Without further ado. That's my second favorite part. 535 00:34:26,900 --> 00:34:31,500 I mean, it tastes like a Mexican style lager with some unnatural 536 00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:38,180 lime flavorings. Um, unnatural? Yeah, it says natural. 537 00:34:38,180 --> 00:34:44,780 I don't believe it. Uh, I enjoy this. I have already purchased this once 538 00:34:44,780 --> 00:34:50,660 before. Oh. And I drank it all. And I enjoyed it all. 539 00:34:51,180 --> 00:34:56,660 And I think it is a will be a wonderful summer beer. 35. Sure. 540 00:34:56,860 --> 00:35:00,580 I have no problem with that. Yeah. Um, it's kind of a joke. 541 00:35:00,580 --> 00:35:03,740 Beer for the show. And I had a good time with it. 542 00:35:04,100 --> 00:35:07,300 And I'm gonna drink it all, and I'm gonna like it. Nice. 543 00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:10,620 You and you enjoy your weird, disgusting beer over there. 544 00:35:10,660 --> 00:35:13,420 Yeah, it's. I know you don't like Mexican lagers, 545 00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:17,260 either. Not especially craft ones. Like. I'd rather. Have a. 546 00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:23,460 Yeah, I'd rather have a Pacifico than a real Mexican lager right up there. 547 00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:26,300 I. You're fine. That's fine. I'm not going to judge you. 548 00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:30,700 Then I won't judge you for your linee Lime. Well, thank you so much. 549 00:35:30,740 --> 00:35:33,300 That's growth. Greg. We call that growth. 550 00:35:33,340 --> 00:35:37,580 It's growth in my pants. I'm gonna call it a Lyman kugel. 551 00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:41,580 I like it. Opportunity missed. Marketing department. 552 00:35:41,740 --> 00:35:43,340 All right, a little news before we get out of here. 553 00:35:43,820 --> 00:35:49,300 PBR Pabst Lite is available now. I'm gonna look for it. 554 00:35:49,620 --> 00:35:56,020 4.2% ABV light lager will be sold in 12 ounce cans and 12 2430 packs, 555 00:35:56,020 --> 00:36:00,060 16 ounce cans, six packs, and 25 ounce single serve cans. 556 00:36:00,220 --> 00:36:02,300 So this used to be a thing, so I'm sure. 557 00:36:02,340 --> 00:36:05,660 I'm assuming they discontinued it like my, uh, 558 00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:10,780 long love of high life lite. Aha! So you know how Pabst is like red, 559 00:36:10,780 --> 00:36:15,220 white and blue, right? So this was red or. No. 560 00:36:15,260 --> 00:36:19,500 I'm sorry. White, blue and teal. So I'm very curious about what 561 00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:22,500 the packaging looks like now. Mm. Yeah. I didn't see a picture. 562 00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:25,820 I just got the press release. Anything on a Pabst can that was 563 00:36:25,820 --> 00:36:31,060 red was used to be teal. Ah. And it was. It was off putting. 564 00:36:31,220 --> 00:36:34,260 I'm looking it up now. So I'm curious if it. Yeah. 565 00:36:34,580 --> 00:36:38,940 Um, the pictures I'm seeing are not teal. Okay. They're very. 566 00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:43,380 Lots of blue and red and white. Okay. So hopefully they changed the 567 00:36:43,380 --> 00:36:47,380 packaging. I don't see anything teal. Man, it used to be, like, the 568 00:36:47,380 --> 00:36:51,140 wildest thing. Yeah, I don't know. Well, speaking of shitty beer, uh, 569 00:36:51,340 --> 00:36:56,860 Anheuser-Busch has end their Saint Louis Pride Festival sponsorship. 570 00:36:56,860 --> 00:37:01,420 They will no longer, after 30 years of participating, sponsor the Saint 571 00:37:01,420 --> 00:37:07,180 Louis Pride festival. That's, uh. Interesting. Mhm. Why now? 572 00:37:07,820 --> 00:37:10,620 Hooters. Are you a fan of Hooters? You ever been to a Hooters? 573 00:37:11,100 --> 00:37:14,260 You guys have a bunch of Hooters? There was a Hooters. 574 00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:16,740 I don't know, a mile and a half from where I lived 575 00:37:16,780 --> 00:37:20,220 growing up and where I live now. And, uh, it was so good that 576 00:37:20,220 --> 00:37:24,580 it's now a Mexican restaurant. Oh, great. Nachos at Hooters. 577 00:37:25,540 --> 00:37:28,190 Uh, You know what's funny? I actually went on a first date 578 00:37:28,190 --> 00:37:30,310 to Hooters. I don't think that's a terrible 579 00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:36,110 thing. Wasn't even my idea of wings. Beer? Yeah. Fine. Wings. 580 00:37:36,270 --> 00:37:38,150 Oh, you know what? One time my sisters, 581 00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:40,950 she was dating this guy. At one time, her her ex-boyfriend 582 00:37:41,230 --> 00:37:45,350 won like, a night of free wings. You have a sister? 583 00:37:45,510 --> 00:37:47,910 Didn't I didn't tell you I had a sister? She's married now. 584 00:37:48,390 --> 00:37:53,550 What the fuck? Yeah. That's wild. It's weird thinking about having a 585 00:37:53,550 --> 00:37:59,830 kid. Mistake? Yeah. Huge mistake. Um, this this boyfriend of hers won, 586 00:37:59,870 --> 00:38:01,430 like, free wings. And so he's like, hey, 587 00:38:01,430 --> 00:38:03,910 you guys want to go? So we went to Hooters with him, 588 00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:07,510 and they just kept bringing out wings until we said stop. That's amazing. 589 00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:12,910 It was so like we were fucking. So, uh, anyways, 590 00:38:12,910 --> 00:38:16,550 they have fired. Fired? They have filed for chapter 11 591 00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:20,870 bankruptcy. That's not shocking. No, I'm surprised they lasted 592 00:38:20,870 --> 00:38:23,030 this long. Let's be honest. I don't know if there's a single 593 00:38:23,030 --> 00:38:26,270 location left in the state. Oh, really? My state. Yeah. 594 00:38:26,310 --> 00:38:28,270 I mean, I haven't been to one in quite some time. 595 00:38:28,270 --> 00:38:30,790 There was a couple in the LA, you know, a few in the LA area. 596 00:38:30,790 --> 00:38:32,910 There was one in Hollywood, one in Santa Monica. 597 00:38:32,990 --> 00:38:35,150 Santa Monica was the one I went to on the first date, by the way. 598 00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:39,030 I think we drove past one when we were on our way to Saint Louis last 599 00:38:39,030 --> 00:38:43,870 summer. Okay. That sounds familiar. Yeah, well, I guess that's the 600 00:38:43,870 --> 00:38:46,950 problem. We need to keep going. Or maybe it was when we were in 601 00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:49,990 Orlando. That makes more. Sense. It was when we were in Orlando. 602 00:38:50,030 --> 00:38:52,150 Yeah, that. Makes way more sense. I think they're headquartered in 603 00:38:52,150 --> 00:38:55,710 Florida. Sounds right. Yeah. That tracks in Florida. 604 00:38:55,750 --> 00:39:00,790 Hi, Vanessa. Hello, Vanessa. Uh, we've been talking a lot 605 00:39:00,790 --> 00:39:05,110 about baseball recently. Mr. met apparently loves Allagash. 606 00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,630 The Portland, Maine headquartered brewery announced it is opening 607 00:39:08,670 --> 00:39:11,790 Allagash Ali at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. 608 00:39:11,830 --> 00:39:15,710 The bar is located on the Excelsior level in section 311. 609 00:39:15,750 --> 00:39:19,950 Ooh, it sounds so special, right? Excelsior, he proclaimed. 610 00:39:20,710 --> 00:39:24,390 I wonder how that happened. Alien Church Portland, New York. 611 00:39:24,750 --> 00:39:28,190 Yeah, that is kind of weird. Not enough New York breweries. Right. 612 00:39:28,190 --> 00:39:31,270 I was gonna say there's so many New York beers. Right? 613 00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:35,350 They're not short on breweries, so. Excuse me. They must have paid more. 614 00:39:35,390 --> 00:39:38,750 Oh, I just got your picture of the turquoise PBR. 615 00:39:38,910 --> 00:39:41,270 Yeah, it's weird. Right? Yeah. Also, charge your, uh, 616 00:39:41,270 --> 00:39:44,390 phone battery there. Don't judge. Me. It's in the red. 617 00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:47,870 Just saying. Still alive? I have major, like, 618 00:39:47,910 --> 00:39:51,230 phone battery. Uh, anxiety. I don't charge my phone for three 619 00:39:51,230 --> 00:39:58,310 days. Yeah. Oh. I'm sweating. I see it dripping off your forehead. 620 00:39:58,350 --> 00:40:01,590 Yeah. Uh, left hand brewing and dry 621 00:40:01,630 --> 00:40:04,430 dock have merged. The news follows Tuesday's 622 00:40:04,430 --> 00:40:07,310 announcement that Great Divide. With whom? Dry dock. 623 00:40:07,310 --> 00:40:09,230 We talked about this last week. We talked about dry dock. 624 00:40:09,230 --> 00:40:12,430 Forged a strategic, strategic, strategic, uh, 625 00:40:12,470 --> 00:40:15,670 production agreement in late 2023. Had joined Wilding brands, the 626 00:40:15,670 --> 00:40:18,350 parent company Stem ciders, Denver Beer Co and other craft brands. 627 00:40:18,390 --> 00:40:21,750 Dry dock will immediately move all brewing, production and 628 00:40:21,750 --> 00:40:25,710 packaging to left Hands Longmont facility and will continue to 629 00:40:25,710 --> 00:40:29,310 operate its Aurora taproom. Dry dock marks the first addition 630 00:40:29,310 --> 00:40:32,470 to Left Hand's platform, which completed a wefunder round 631 00:40:32,470 --> 00:40:37,790 last month and raised over $800,000 from 396 investors. 632 00:40:37,790 --> 00:40:42,590 Balls. Yeah, a lot of money. We'll end it on this one. An e-bike. 633 00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:45,990 When I say e-bike, I mean like a, you know, pedal bike, right. 634 00:40:45,990 --> 00:40:51,550 But with electronic assist, right? An e-bike with three prior DUIs. 635 00:40:52,270 --> 00:40:55,790 Arrested again for drunk driving. Winston. Henry Williams. 636 00:40:55,790 --> 00:40:59,990 Quite the name. Sounds very fancy. 60. He was a president, right? 637 00:41:00,470 --> 00:41:02,510 President. Williams, Winston Henry Williams, 638 00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:07,310 66, of Oxford. Sounds even fancier. Who has three prior convictions 639 00:41:07,310 --> 00:41:10,190 of driving under the influence, was riding his e-bike on March 28th 640 00:41:10,190 --> 00:41:15,870 in the southbound bike lane of US highway 27 441, without a red rear 641 00:41:15,870 --> 00:41:20,390 taillight nor a red reflector. According to reports, an officer 642 00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:23,710 turned on her emergency lights and moved partially into the bike 643 00:41:23,710 --> 00:41:27,350 lane to conduct a traffic stop. Williams looked back but did not 644 00:41:27,350 --> 00:41:29,270 stop. Sorry. President Williams looked back 645 00:41:29,270 --> 00:41:33,550 but did not stop. The officer used her sirens 646 00:41:33,550 --> 00:41:36,430 several times before Williams finally came to a halt. 647 00:41:36,550 --> 00:41:39,830 When the native of Jamaica got off the bike, he stumbled and swayed 648 00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:42,790 as he put the bike on the ground, according to the arrest report. 649 00:41:42,910 --> 00:41:45,350 As the officer informed Williams of the reason of the stop, 650 00:41:45,350 --> 00:41:47,710 she detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from him, 651 00:41:47,710 --> 00:41:51,630 which became stronger as he spoke. President Williams told the officer 652 00:41:51,630 --> 00:41:56,710 that he consumed 2 or 3 5% beers in an hour before the stop. 653 00:41:56,710 --> 00:41:59,150 Very specific. The officer observed Williams 654 00:41:59,150 --> 00:42:02,110 was speaking in circles, at times slurring his words. 655 00:42:02,150 --> 00:42:04,870 The officer noted in a report that Williams continued to have 656 00:42:04,870 --> 00:42:08,310 mood changes from cooperative to polite to argumentative. 657 00:42:08,350 --> 00:42:11,830 He agreed to perform the standardized field sobriety exercises after 658 00:42:11,830 --> 00:42:14,670 telling the officer he had been through this before, and that 659 00:42:14,670 --> 00:42:18,870 they were out to lock him up. Williams did poorly on the field 660 00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:22,310 sobriety exercises and was taken into custody. 661 00:42:22,470 --> 00:42:30,790 He also provided breath samples which showed 0.16. Not even close. Come on. 662 00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:33,510 I don't think I've ever seen numbers this high before. 663 00:42:34,150 --> 00:42:42,750 We're talking like 3.6. Oh, God. No! .73? No. And fucking way. 664 00:42:43,070 --> 00:42:49,990 Followed by. Followed by .67. Blood alcohol level. Oh my God! 665 00:42:50,190 --> 00:42:54,550 I don't know how he's alive. He's riding a bike. Holy balls! 666 00:42:54,670 --> 00:43:00,790 He should be president. That's impossible. .73. Okay. 667 00:43:00,830 --> 00:43:07,190 73% of your blood. What the fuck? How are you? 668 00:43:07,190 --> 00:43:11,110 Alive? That's what I'm saying. Like that's. He's a zombie. Yeah. 669 00:43:11,390 --> 00:43:14,870 Or an alien? One or the other. I don't know how they make them 670 00:43:14,870 --> 00:43:20,150 down there in Jamaica, but. Good lord. .73 and .67. That's nuts. 671 00:43:20,150 --> 00:43:22,880 Stutz. Hats off to you. President Williams. Yeah. 672 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,680 Something people don't realize is, uh, even riding a bike. 673 00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:29,040 Yeah, you can get a DUI. I know it's kind of shitty, 674 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,880 if you think about it. Someone's like, hey, you know what? 675 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,320 I'm not gonna drive drunk. I'm not gonna put somebody else 676 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,360 in danger. I'll ride my bike home and I'll put. 677 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,360 Myself in danger. That's fine. And to me, that's okay. 678 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,920 You want to risk your own? Whatever that's on you. 679 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,840 I don't care what you do to yourself. Just don't hurt somebody else. 680 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,840 I mean, but realistically, you can't even go out walking drunk. Yeah. 681 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,920 I mean, you could just be arrested for drunk in public, right? 682 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,720 Except for Nevada, they actually have rules against instituting 683 00:43:55,840 --> 00:44:00,240 drinking in public laws in Nevada. Nevada style? Yeah, yeah. 684 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,560 So, uh. Yeah. And you're going. I will be there and I will be 685 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:11,920 drunk in public. Take that. Laws. Best part. Take that. Stupid laws. 686 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:18,040 So, anyway, uh, hats off to Williams for fucking surviving the 0.73. 687 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,280 I guess that's. A a hero. Yeah, that is something. 688 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,960 So, uh, anyways, let's let's wrap things up. Let's hit some music. 689 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,920 I'm gonna say hi to Vanessa. Did it? Did we not? Did we? 690 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,200 No, I don't think we did. Oh. Hi, Vanessa. Well, hi. 691 00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:37,360 And if we did, hi again. Who knows? Hello. Follow us on the socials. 692 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,520 @CraftBeerRepublic @flex_me_a_beer underscores in between. 693 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,920 Remember to practice your ABCs backwards. Oh, yeah. 694 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,000 Get caught on a bike drunk driving, and they give you a field 695 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:53,360 sobriety test. You pass. Six. You're done. I'm done. Arrested? 696 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,720 Yeah, I just got arrested. Yeah. Fuck. Uh, 853. Beer. Two. Three. 697 00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:58,960 Three. Seven. I think that's everything. 698 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,600 I hope everyone out there is staying very well hydrated. And on that note. 699 00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:05,440 Good night everybody.
