Everybody 2 00:00:04,260 --> 00:00:05,380 clap your hands. 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:23,720 Welcome in everybody. It's the craft beer republic and don't forget to the left of y'all now. Sorry, that was a pre-show discussion. 4 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:34,260 Move on back. I am Greg. Thanks for drinking. Thanks for joining. I am being joined by the sexiest, flexiest and all the Midwest. Yes. What's up buddy? Wow. That was well played. I feel 5 00:00:34,260 --> 00:00:49,920 like a rapper. Actually my, my kids actually recently discovered the cha cha slide and I'm sorry to hear that tonight in the backyard. They made me play it on repeat and they kept doing what they've been told to do through the, the song to the left behind the, it was 6 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:56,200 my number. Yeah. Do the back. Yeah. Hands on your knee. Whoa. That's some different. 7 00:00:56,460 --> 00:01:02,560 Everybody clap your hands. I'll cut that out. That was horrible. The one who did not, you're 8 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:18,520 worn out. I guess. Yeah. Yeah. We're cute. Uh, and then a poem back into port is the salty sailor herself. We'll see how long that internet connection lasts. What's happening. Hey friends. Love seeing y'all. We love seeing you as long as your camera lets us see you. 9 00:01:19,220 --> 00:01:25,380 Unpixelated me. This is actually the best your camera has performed in two weeks. You 10 00:01:25,380 --> 00:01:36,200 don't look like a regular Nintendo video game. Right? Yeah. It's a me. I'm Mario. All right. Anyways, original Mario. Does anybody else call it regular Nintendo or do you just call 11 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,560 it Nintendo original? Uh, yeah, I just called it Nintendo. There's Nintendo and then there's 12 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:53,080 super Nintendo cause we were like, we started with the Nintendo and then we got super Nintendo not long after. So we've always referred to the original as the regular Nintendo. Oh, 13 00:01:53,200 --> 00:02:10,100 interesting. I didn't have it. My, my grandpa had regular, you know, the original. So it was just like Nintendo. And then my buddy had super Nintendo. I was not cool. I finally like at the end of everything got Sega like five days before Sega CD came out and you know, never read Sega 14 00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:29,040 CD now cause it was garbage, but I played the shit out of some NBA jam. Oh hell yeah. That's best. Nope. Uh, any who, where were we? Oh, at crappy Republic at neck Nosh LLC underscores after each one and flex me a beer underscores in between. Uh, lots to get to on this holiday week 15 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,320 for us Americans. We start diving in a little too deep right away. Sorry. Was that too deep? 16 00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:50,560 Too much Nintendo talk? Really excited, you know? And yeah, like this is still the fucking intro. Yeah. I get excited. It was like I had a mushroom and I got really excited. Oh yeah. Well, happy, happy fourth everybody. I love that. Yeah. Happy, happy holiday week. Happy July. 17 00:02:50,960 --> 00:03:09,400 Happy summer of the USA. Yeah. America and all those things. Erica's got a red shirt and blue headphones. She's super festive. She's she's fitting the bill. Uh, all right. Well, speaking of Erica, let's find out what she's drinking over there. Fitting the bill. 18 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:31,660 Erica's slapping some meat over there. Oh yeah, that's right. How's your marbling my friends? 19 00:03:32,180 --> 00:03:35,760 The dry aging is perfect. It all depends. 20 00:03:37,820 --> 00:03:50,100 Sorry beer. Smoking the meats. Um, today I have some orange sherberts, which I kept calling sure pups because I was totally lit when I was at Alvarado street brewery. 21 00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:52,520 How does that differ from now Erica? Please tell the listeners. 22 00:03:52,880 --> 00:04:08,700 Well, I almost called it sure pups again. So, uh, Wolf Wolf my friends. We got a pup and it is 8% ABV. That might be why I'm feeling so great today. It is a 4.06 on untapped. 23 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:28,380 And let's talk about that description. It's kind of lengthy guys. I'm going to talk really fast. Strap it. Ever find yourself eating all the orange bits in your car of rainbow sherbert first? Yeah, us too. So we made sure that the iteration of sherb burps checked all of the boxes. It features a balanced zip of acidity, a creamy decadent sweetness, easygoing drinkability, and of course, 24 00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:45,240 a dazzling blossom orange flavor, but not just any type of orange would be up to the task. Oh Lord, you guys. So we use car car oranges known for their richness and depth of flavor with a subtle berry like tartness and floral romantics. There are like five more sentences. 25 00:04:45,420 --> 00:05:01,360 I am so done. This is delicious. I think we've had enough. Thank you. Thank you for letting me stop. I'm out of breath. Just hearing about it. I can't, I'm done. I'm sweating. I'm sweating and I need a drink. Just give me a second friends. Yeah, get in there. It is so amazing. Okay. 26 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:21,760 Let's talk about this. Talk about it. Don't read about it. It looks a little orangey and it tastes super orangey and I am done. Thank you guys. Good night everybody. Is it 4.06? It is fantabulous because it's that perfect balance of not too, like it's not 27 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:38,640 puckery too tart, just enough tartness, tiny bit of like the peel bitterness that you would get from an orange, but not so much. It's just all the things perfectly balanced. It's delicious. I'm at the bottom. I'm loving it. Get yourself some and done. That's it. Awesome. Get you some 28 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:49,680 orange sherberbs. I've heard such obnoxious things about Alvarado street. Oh my gosh. They do some good stuff. I've never heard one bad thing about anything they do. 29 00:05:50,260 --> 00:06:06,040 No, that's, it's amazing. I'm so happy I have it. That's it. And we're happy for you. Thank you. Lots of happy people. Happy, happy, happy place. And um, good job Alvarado. Good job. 30 00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:17,160 Uh, all right. I want to give a, a shot. Oh, first of all, topless in city of the week of last week, Winston Salem, North Carolina. What's up? 31 00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:35,920 Wow. Hey, North Carolina. I think I know like, uh, aren't those two brands? I know a couple of people out there. I'm like Salem lights or something. Salem or another. Something like that. Yeah. I don't smoke cigarettes, but I don't have when I'm drunk. No, that attitude. Yeah. 32 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:48,160 I used to go to Vegas and like smoke the entire weekend. Discuss drunk sigs. Have we ever discussed the drunk sigs before? It's the only kind I want. So there's the best. They really are. 33 00:06:48,500 --> 00:07:05,820 I haven't had one in years because I used to get like super fucked up and that's when I would have them. So, uh, my buddy Thomas who he used to work with, he would have drunk sigs when he was up at college. And I asked if his parents ever knew about that. And he immediately started freaking 34 00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:28,320 out and was like, you can't tell my mom. You can't tell my mom. My mom can't find out about this. And then like two days later, he sends me a picture of himself saying smoking a cigarette and it says drunk sigs don't matter. Hashtag don't tell my mom. Yeah. I just think, uh, 35 00:07:28,780 --> 00:07:32,660 really funny. Cause I feel like everybody feels the same way about a drunk cigarette. 36 00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:50,880 Yeah. I used to like go to Vegas and it got even worse. Once my best friend moved to Vegas, cause she's a smoker. And so like we go get drunk or hang out at a table or whatever and few beers deep. I'm like, Hey, fucking Passover, some butts over here. Let's start smoking some straws. Let's, let's get it going over here. And, uh, by the end of the weekend, 37 00:07:50,960 --> 00:08:09,820 my mouth would just taste like a fiery butthole. It was not cute. And I remember like one of the last times I went to Vegas, it was like two times ago. I remember waking up one morning and my mouth was just like, I'm done. I'm done. Oh, see, I've never gotten that way with 38 00:08:09,820 --> 00:08:30,080 with cigarettes. That's like a cigar feeling to me. Yeah. The next one to a cigar for sure. Like guaranteed with cigar. But when you get so drunk that you go through like an entire pack, you're going to wake up. That's a lot of cigarettes. It's your mouth. It just tastes like burnt butt. And I, I'm done with the burnt butthole. I like my mouth fresh. I don't want them dry aged. 39 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:39,179 So I did a little vaping here and there drunk vaping when vaping was, I just don't now. Like 40 00:08:39,179 --> 00:08:46,520 I just, I just get drunk. Yeah. No, I want you to be lame. Yeah. You're probably better off smoking 41 00:08:46,520 --> 00:09:02,720 a cigarette. Vaping is like such a veiled thing. Like they, Oh yeah. By the way, y'all just knowing some people who work with lungs, if you're going to smoke marijuana, do not vape it. It's like a hundred bazillion times worse than just smoking the joint. I just eat it. Okay. That's even better, 42 00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:08,160 but I'm just saying just don't. Yeah. But yeah, that morning wake up, you're like, not worth it. 43 00:09:08,260 --> 00:09:12,440 Not anymore. What did I do? And then that night you do the same thing over again, like more drugs. 44 00:09:12,580 --> 00:09:27,680 There should be like a dare where it's like, have, you know, four 200 IBU IPAs and smoke a pack of cigarettes and see how your mouth tastes when you wake up and try not to throw up the perfect plan. 45 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:46,500 So gross. Yeah. I don't really do that anymore. It's so funny. I don't, I'm sure it's the same for you, Eric or similar. Uh, I know we're in different parts of the state and most people are like your state's that big. It's like three different States. But uh, yeah. When I see people smoking like real cigarettes nowadays, I'm like, where the fuck are you from? Right? 46 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,000 Like no one smokes cigarettes anymore out here. I saw someone in a car smoking a cigarette today 47 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,200 and I literally thought to myself, that is the first time I've seen that in like 48 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,860 ages. Oh, I think that's the grossest thing in the world is smoking a cigarette in your car. 49 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,180 Oh yeah. Then your car smells like, yeah, it's like a way to ruin a good thing. Right. 50 00:10:03,580 --> 00:10:12,000 You just paid like $40,000 for this. Let's fuck it up. Yeah. Let's see how, how bad we can fuck 51 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,120 up the resale value without crashing into a wall. Yeah. Right. There's no return. 52 00:10:16,340 --> 00:10:24,160 Talk about a dare. Hold my beer. Watch me skunk this. Yeah. In fact, you can repair 53 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:41,200 body damage. You cannot get the smell of cigarettes at your car. Oh no, it's so gross. So gross. When we were little and like my parents divorced and we go out to breakfast with my dad, my dad was like, Mr. I don't give a shit about anything. And his dad was a smoker. So like, we'd go into like I hop and shit. They're like, Hey, you know, we want the smoking section or 54 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:49,140 non-smoking section. And he would do it. Whatever is first available. There's like me as like a, you know, nine year old and my sister is like a three year old. We're just like, 55 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:55,420 I tried to eat her fucking pancakes. You know, I completely forgot about the smoking and the 56 00:10:55,420 --> 00:11:06,420 non-smoking sections. Yeah. It was the worst. Like drunk smoking is fine. But like when you're trying to eat, there is nothing I want to smell less than your fucking ashes. 57 00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:17,500 Oh, it's awful. Like my mom's like, I smoked when I was pregnant with, I was a six kid. And I'm like, doesn't that make small babies? I was 10 fucking pounds, mom. She's like, you were the six kid. 58 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,160 Imagine if she hadn't smoked. 59 00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:22,920 Seriously? I'm like, thank you. I would have been 14. You would have. 60 00:11:23,660 --> 00:11:25,760 Fucking Andre the Giant over here. 61 00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:29,200 Your mom would have exploded when she was close to you. 62 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,300 She was like, it was a safety precaution. My doctor was like, smoke as much as you can. 63 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,940 You make it sound like you're born in the fifties. I'm laughing, but that's not really funny. 64 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,900 Hey, you guys want to hear a funny joke? My mom smoked when she was pregnant. 65 00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:49,440 Oh, we're digressing super hard. 66 00:11:49,780 --> 00:11:56,360 Super hard. That's great. Yeah. Anyways, drunk cigs. There was a time and place where I very much loved them. 67 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:12,300 Yeah. It was a good time. My, both my brothers smoked and they knew how like much I hated smoking growing up because I'm an asthmatic, but both my parents smoke, they smoked in the house for years. So when my brothers found out that I started up on some drug cigs, 68 00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:26,680 whenever we were around like with each other and I was getting drunk, they would get like super into it and just start like waving their back in my face, you know, and they fucking lived it up. That's funny. 69 00:12:27,020 --> 00:12:28,360 Shitty, shitty brothers. 70 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,180 Sure. The worst. Gotta give your square brother a signal. 71 00:12:32,580 --> 00:12:43,160 Yeah. You square. All right. Oh, happy birthday to Brian. Brian from title town. It's his birthday this week. He, he invited me to his birthday party. I said, I'd be there. 72 00:12:43,380 --> 00:12:59,940 He said, he sent me the invite to, I said, I said, if I had to take off the day before his party because it's my birthday. So then I got really excited that maybe his birthday was my birthday and it's not. He said it was, he said it was in may. Oh, his birthday's in may. Yeah. 73 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:14,960 Oh, why is he sending me invites for July? He said his kids got really sick, which then got him and his wife very sick. And he said like really sick. So rough household, I guess. 74 00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:20,240 Well, it's the worst. In that case, like happy birthday two months. Yeah. Right. 75 00:13:20,260 --> 00:13:24,400 Like I feel like he would have put that out there. Yeah. That's funny. But yeah, I got the, 76 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,300 got the, I was like, yeah, I'll grab an Uber. I'll be right there. 77 00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:32,400 Just going to say, I wonder how much that Uber would cost like $14,000. 78 00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:47,980 I'm sure it would be so much cheaper than flying. I mean, it'd finally be so much cheaper than, Oh yeah, for sure. Brian, thanks for the invite. Sorry. I can't make your extremely late birthday party, but it made me think like birthday parties. I know flex. We talked to last week a little bit, 79 00:13:47,980 --> 00:14:03,080 how much you hate them. I don't necessarily love birthday parties, but I do love like, Hey everybody, come hang out with me and drink because you feel obligated to, it's like, you know, it's an excuse to hang out with friends basically. Yeah. That's that's super legit. 80 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,100 Yeah. What do you, what do you guys do in your birthdays besides flex hiding in the corner? 81 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,760 Yeah. I just, I just hide. He doesn't like making decisions. 82 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,460 I get to a fun place for lunch usually. And that's about it. 83 00:14:15,620 --> 00:14:28,320 Yeah. Erica. I am like, my rule is no mom, mom, mommy, mom. Like I'm not answering any questions. I'm not fixing anything. That's it. It's done. No, I'm not mom today. It's all about 84 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:43,660 me. I do like that. That's how I roll. Yep. All right. Before we get onto a little bit of news, I was gifted a Sunny D vodka salts. That sounds gross. My sister picked them up. She says, 85 00:14:43,980 --> 00:14:59,820 Hey, they're not that bad. You should have one. I said, Hey, hard pass. She goes, I'm going to give you one. And we were all over at a family event. She slipped one in my beer cooler. And so I, I said I would have it on the show. And a nice brother. Yeah. She said it was 86 00:14:59,820 --> 00:15:05,400 pretty good. Okay. And you haven't had one yet. She said, this is the one and only. So, um, 87 00:15:05,620 --> 00:15:09,200 okay. So we're going off of that. So she said here, all right. Yeah. That's what she said. 88 00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:19,760 And I'm not even playing any music for it. Oh, that kind of makes me think of sparks. And I think we've touched on the whole spark thing. It was like the energy. G alcoholic drink is very 89 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:27,340 orange. Ooh, it is bad. Not bad. Grimace. Oh, yeah. I was, uh, uh, well, if, if sparks was 90 00:15:27,340 --> 00:15:33,860 good, this is not sparks. Well, I don't want to say good, but it did the job. I mean, I'm sure 91 00:15:33,860 --> 00:15:54,600 if I drank enough, enough of these, I'd get drunk four and a half percent, 95 calories, zero grams of sugar says vodka with real fruit juice, sparkling water, national Nash, natural orange flavor, and other natural. Have another beer. Yeah. Lush low carb, low carb. I'll 92 00:15:54,600 --> 00:16:03,580 give it that. But, um, it doesn't taste like sunny D which you would think might be a good thing. I don't know. I didn't, I didn't love sunny D as a kid. Oh, you didn't. I was going to say, 93 00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:10,140 I remember loving it as a kid and then hating it eventually. Yeah. By the time I turned like 10, 94 00:16:10,180 --> 00:16:29,820 I was like, fuck sunny. These gross fucking worst. Yeah. Um, does it taste like weird fake orange? Like not sunny D fake, but like store brand shelf fake orange juice. Well, like tropical. Yeah. And 95 00:16:29,980 --> 00:16:36,120 sugar to it to make it taste better. So it doesn't compare with my sherberts from, um, 96 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:45,200 no. And then like store, store brand vodka. You know, I, I'm not even gonna fit it. This is, I did bring a beer. Hold on. I'm going to hit some music. Just cause I want to try this. I 97 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:56,660 need to cleanse the palate. He calls through the bullpen for beer, like actual beer, not sell. 98 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:02,240 I feel like stone cold over here. That's a great call. Bring in the lefty. Yeah, please bring them 99 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:07,380 in. Uh, I feel like stone cold over here. I hope it's like exploded all over. No, I'm a righty. 100 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,560 Well, no, but like when he called the pan, just, okay, sorry. I just think this is a situational 101 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:29,300 move, right? It's a, it's a strategy thing. Uh, I am now drinking. Thank God. Uh, Malibu collaboration with Mars bra at a Germany. This is you beer. It's on, it's an unfiltered or 102 00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:48,160 unfiltered Amber logger Uber. Uh, Ryan hit me up there. It was like the owner was like, Hey man, have you tried our new collab beers? And they had two, they have this one and they had a Pilsner. And I showed up and Chaz the brewer was there and he's telling me, he goes, Hey, do you hear the story of why we made a Pilsner? I was like, no. He goes, yeah, we tried to make a Helles and uh, 103 00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:57,060 turns out we put too much hops in it. So now it's a Pilsner. Yeah. He goes, you know the difference between an Ellis and a Pilsner. I said, what? He goes about 10 IBU. 104 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,840 You mad respect for like shifting, you know, and not trying to call it what it really didn't end 105 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:21,440 up being. We've talked about this. Exactly. It's not hazy. Don't call it a hazy. Exactly. Okay. Chaz guy. Yeah. Chaz is great. He's hilarious. Uh, I don't have any real stats on this. It's not on untapped yet. When I got it, it wasn't even, in fact, the Pilsner didn't have labels on it. They were still sitting at Ryan's house, but, um, this one has a label on it. 106 00:18:21,540 --> 00:18:39,680 5.2%. It says 12 ounces, best serving temperature, 42 to 46 collab with a brow house in Germany. And, uh, or how, sorry, Mars bra bra house, uh, Mars bra in Germany. Um, born in Germany. 107 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:53,280 Let's see. I love when cans have all those like fun details on it, like how to drink it or what to do with the temperature, like because you're totally calibrated. What glass it would drink 108 00:18:53,280 --> 00:19:12,080 best out of. I want to say the can too. Oh yeah. Here's the can. Let me see that. This super, uh, multi caramely smelling on the nose and on the old tongue job or tons of goodness. It is, it follows the schnauz, but in a lighter, more crushable way, it's not like a sticky caramel. 109 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:41,620 It's a very clean caramel flavor. Um, it drinks very light, almost, I would say Marsini like a light Mersen. Um, yeah, I'll take it. This is super good. Okay. But I'm like, go listen to that Conan four part episode where they 110 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,260 do the movie. Yeah. So good. You'll have to send me it. Yeah, it's great. Anyways. Um, 111 00:19:47,480 --> 00:20:09,100 I didn't know what to think. Ambers can be a little hit or miss for me. This is so crushable and it said unfiltered, but this is like clear as fuck. So, uh, it makes you wonder why they filter Ambers. Yeah, this is really surprising. I thought this is gonna be one of those like beers for the wife. Cause she likes the caramely beers. You don't like caramel beers. I do. But like when 112 00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:13,860 it's hot out, they get a little sticky. It's just, you know, it's a little bit. I would admit 113 00:20:13,860 --> 00:20:35,200 that like the super hot temperatures, like it's been, uh, the hottest time of the year, like every week it just keeps getting hotter now. Oh yeah. And I had a Amber lager or Amber ale, Amber ale in the fridge. And I was like, Oh yeah, I really liked that beer, but it's 85 degrees out 114 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,940 and there's a couple IPAs in there too. So I think you're going to crush it. I mean, there's 115 00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:48,660 worse. I think an Amber is any time beer. I feel like an Amber is hard to enjoy. I think that that 116 00:20:48,660 --> 00:20:54,700 makes a lot of sense. It's really hard to enjoy in the super warm temperatures. Yeah. And, and as 117 00:20:54,700 --> 00:21:13,060 we record, it's pretty warm down here and, uh, this is clean and not sticky and delicious. A lot of, a lot of that caramel, but light caramel flavor. The finish is very biscuity and toasty. And, uh, honestly I could definitely crush a couple of these on the lake. So, uh, I don't know if they're released yet. I kind of got a sneak peek, but by the time this drops, it might 118 00:21:13,060 --> 00:21:23,380 be out. I don't know. You look big deal. Yeah. I'm so fancy. I got the labelless cans. Wowza. And 119 00:21:23,380 --> 00:21:29,700 you got to Ryan's house. Ooh. Ooh, special invites. I did not get the rides. I just went to 120 00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:43,400 the brew facility, but the labels were, Oh, the labels were, Oh yes. Yeah. It's a pretty big step in a relationship. Got to meet the parents. Picking up beers at the owner's house. Yeah. 121 00:21:44,540 --> 00:22:01,740 Well, it was funny when they were doing Firestone Invitational and we were at the lake, which was, you know, 10 miles from each other. He was texting me pictures of, of running into Nick and Coley and he's like, look who I ran into. And then I was texting him pictures of me drinking beer on the lake. I was like, Hey, look at me not sweating over here. All right. 122 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:08,300 It's the worst part of Firestone. It's always so hot. So hot. Like 95 this year. It was pretty hot. 123 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:33,100 Not for me. I was in the water. Just as drunk. So, uh, all right, let's, uh, move on to a couple of stories here in the newsflight. Flex is typing. Oh, and Erica's done. All right. Get the paddles clear. Dead line. 124 00:22:33,380 --> 00:22:41,660 Only people could see us. Uh, AB in Bev is that's Anheuser-Busch. Yes. Sorry. Anheuser-Busch 125 00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:57,280 interpretation here has reached their goal of putting alcohol guidance labels on all beer products. They say label is a key to consumer touch points, promote positive consumer behavior. So basically they're like, Hey, don't get hammered and drive 126 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:07,180 your car. Reach their goal. I was a special education teacher and this sounds very special led to me. It's like you have to put the special parameters. You reach your goal. 127 00:23:07,660 --> 00:23:22,980 They have little icons. There's a little car with a cross like the no smoking cross. Oh, get out of here. And then there's an 18 plus, which must be for Europe. Um, and then there's a picture of a fat woman with the cross through it, which I'm imagining she's supposed to be pregnant, 128 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:32,740 but, uh, I mean, I can send you the picture. It just looks like a fat woman. They should 129 00:23:32,940 --> 00:23:45,880 distinguish. Maybe like, maybe like have a hollow belly with a baby in it or something. Cause at this point it's just a fat woman. Erica looks disgusted by me. 130 00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:53,080 It's cool. I mean, it happens. You never know. Was her face puppy? What did her ankles look like? 131 00:23:53,260 --> 00:24:03,360 Tell me more. They don't show the ankles. I texted both of you the picture just so you can corroborate my story here. It is a fat woman holding a beer with a cross through it. 132 00:24:03,860 --> 00:24:24,440 All this made me think of was like buying a new cup or like a set of Tupperware and seeing like, yeah. And seeing like the, uh, whether or not it's dishwasher safe, like the bottom of them, you know, like the logo for dishwasher safe or microwave safe. That's all it made me think of, 133 00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:45,280 like on the can. Like, that's so stupid. Yeah. Did you guys get the pictures? How you texted it to me? Oh, you actually, okay. Erica, did you get it? I did. I don't understand. You're not entirely wrong. That chick got a big booty on her too. Yeah. She's just a fat chick 134 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,060 drinking a beer. And look, I'm not fat shaming here. I'm just saying it doesn't look like a 135 00:24:49,060 --> 00:24:55,820 pregnant girl. It's like a snow woman. Okay. Yeah. She doesn't look miserable enough. I got you. 136 00:24:55,820 --> 00:25:14,700 Of course she doesn't. She's drinking beers. So there's that. Okay. So that's on all of the cans now. I guess, or most cans or anyways. So, um, Hey flex, how do you feel about New Jersey? Oh, we, uh, fucking hate New Jersey. 137 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:26,120 Their legislation is amazing though. We like the people of New Jersey. We do not like the representation of the government. There you go. Well, some good news for the people 138 00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:44,560 of New Jersey, New Jersey craft breweries are one step closer to eased tap room restrictions. Let's go. I feel like kids, New Jersey breweries could have some relief on special conditions implemented, uh, this summer, which limit their, or excuse me, limitations last summer, 139 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:59,740 but for this summer, which limit their ability to host events and serve food in their tap rooms. The state Senate advanced SB three zero three eight to the Senate budget and appropriations committee on Monday. The bill allows craft breweries to host food trucks and vendors 140 00:25:59,740 --> 00:26:05,720 on site and sell package snacks and coffee. Good. Cause they should already like everywhere else in 141 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:15,100 the world. The whole SB thing needs to be renamed. It's like the hop that just has a number. I mean, we need to give it like the shitty beer law. I don't know. Well, it's Senate bill three zero 142 00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:32,900 three eight. I know I got nerdy and abbreviated. Uh, additionally, the bill allows license holders to host an unlimited number of on-premise special events, including, but not limited to trivia, pop-up shops, live music, televised sporting events, and exercise. Why would you need a 143 00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:37,640 bill for any of that's crazy because it's fucking New Jersey. That's why I was wrestling. 144 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:48,420 Sporting. I mean, there's a question. Yeah. It's sports and entertainment. Yeah. Yeah. Listeners chime in on this. What you're going to do. 145 00:26:48,780 --> 00:26:56,580 Serious nerd shit. You've opened up a can over here. If your husband was a wrestler, 146 00:26:56,820 --> 00:27:03,300 would he be the butcher? Absolutely. He'd be like Wagyu prime. 147 00:27:03,860 --> 00:27:07,500 We had a whole conversation about how much a big dreamy likes. 148 00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:20,820 Meats bring in the meats. Love the meats. Arby's up in that house. Arby's come on. Let's, let's bring it up a notch to at least like black 149 00:27:20,820 --> 00:27:26,940 Angus or maybe more like got the meat sweats. Gee, black egg is still around. I don't even know. 150 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:37,480 I'm trying to think of it. Bruce, Chris, I mean, they still around or meat. I don't know. I don't 151 00:27:37,540 --> 00:27:52,480 answer a very important question. Yeah, please. In a world where craft beer is king, a world where muscles are bigger than grounders. Only one tongue can guide us. One man, one tongue, 152 00:27:53,140 --> 00:28:08,800 one jobber in this world. We must find out what is flex drinking. All right. Flex is drinking one of his all time favorite beers tonight. New Glarus kombucha. Yeah. 153 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:33,540 Got me spotted cow. Everybody knows. So this is Miller Highlife. When I got reintroduced into craft beer, right? Not when I did, but when I reintroduced myself after some allow myself to introduce myself, you know, I was, I was on like this weird health kick for a while. And I was like, 154 00:28:33,580 --> 00:28:56,940 I actually cut out alcohol altogether for like four months. I know it was crazy. What dude, it was crazy. It was like, I'm just glad you didn't kill yourself. I know me too. Please relax. So glad. But anyway, I reintroduced myself to craft beer and I had a friend who I'm 155 00:28:56,940 --> 00:29:06,520 not really friends with anymore because he's kind of pretentious, but he introduced me to 1840 brewing company. Yeah. Shreds pretentious, but I still love the guy. 156 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:14,080 Such a lovable pretentious. He's great and he's ripped and he's good looking. So it all works. 157 00:29:14,740 --> 00:29:34,360 But yeah, so he introduced me to 1840 brewing company. They do all small batch brewing and their tagline is drink slow beer. I think that's really fun. But this beer is called damsel and it is one of those beers that I had that just really like you take a sip of it and your eyes just 158 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:52,420 widen and like everything in the world just kind of slows down. You're just like, wow, that what, what is this? This is fucking amazing. Well, it is called damsel. It is a Goza style beer and the bottle reads naturally soured. We ale with pink sea salt, pink peppercorns, pink guava, 159 00:29:53,120 --> 00:30:14,660 pineapple and hibiscus added 4.5% on tapped. Has it at a 4.17? Yeah. I mean, this is a, it's nothing over the top. It's just very well done in the pocket flex. You know, you got me at sour 160 00:30:14,660 --> 00:30:23,140 salt and guava and pink and pink. Yeah. Well, no, it's like everything's pink and then it's like, 161 00:30:23,260 --> 00:30:29,080 except for the pineapple and the hibiscus, but you know, I mean, I can be pink, you know? Yeah. 162 00:30:29,140 --> 00:30:34,320 And sometimes I guess pineapple does show pink and beers. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but the color, 163 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:50,820 it's still pretty classic color. There's no really beer colored. Yeah. It's pretty, pretty beer color. And again, like there's nothing over the top of this beer. Smells like a sour weeded ale. The tongue jobber, Greg's favorite. 164 00:30:53,340 --> 00:31:15,180 Well, we'll dive right in. I mean, it is perfectly tart. You get real tiny, real, real tiny hints of that, that pineapple and that guava, the salt to just round it out. I mean, you could drink like gallons of this. I could drink gallons of this. I want to have 165 00:31:15,180 --> 00:31:38,460 gallons of this. Just really well done beer. And I tell people all the time too, with this brewery, they don't make a lot. Like I said, everything is all small batch. It is probably ounce for ounce, the best beer in the state. Wow. Big words. Does it fit Flex's algorithm? That's where shit gets 166 00:31:38,460 --> 00:31:55,780 blurry. It's all small batch. So all they do is they do the, well, I mean the canards, their labeling is very pretty like boiler plate. So like it's the same format. They'll say the 167 00:31:55,780 --> 00:32:00,780 beer name. You guys can see it. The listeners can get it. They'll switch up the colors and stuff. 168 00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:04,580 It looks like a kombucha bottle. It totally does. We called you out on that. 169 00:32:04,980 --> 00:32:21,500 They do these 16 ounce stubby bottles and they range anywheres from like $7.99 to like $10.99 per bottle. Wow. Per one. So this one here was $8.99 and being, it's 4.5%. I was going to say 170 00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:26,520 the percent's pretty low. Yeah. The numbers are not, but it tastes really great and you feel good 171 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:32,820 about it. It tastes really great. If I hadn't had this beer, would I have purchased it without 172 00:32:32,820 --> 00:32:44,420 knowing? Probably not. Listeners, if you can see Flex's face, it's totally worth it. Okay. He's loving the beer. He's having a great time. And so even though it doesn't fit the algorithm, sometimes 173 00:32:44,420 --> 00:33:01,900 important. And they used to do bombers of this. Like a lot of the stuff they used to sell was just in bombers. And then that was a little more worth it. And the first time I bought it, I actually saved it for my friend's Christmas party. And I just popped the bottle and I just 174 00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:20,940 drank it. It felt like a baller. Did you get slithered? I was actually pretty good that night. Well, 4.5% would have taken a lot. You couldn't afford it. No, no. I had a couple before that, obviously, but yeah, it's just a really top-notch beer. Well, hey, if you're listening out there, 175 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:38,620 you should sponsor Flex. He's an influencer and should not pay full price for a $7 bottle of beer. No. Especially because he's going to gram it and you're going to get thousands of likes because of it. So... Not thousands. Come on. All right. A thousand. Don't overplay me. Okay. I'll never 176 00:33:38,620 --> 00:33:43,400 play you. Check out his OnlyFans. Help him raise some funds. It's called Tom Jobber. No, 177 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:55,820 don't tell people I have OnlyFans. OnlyTongues.com. OnlyTongues.com. OnlyMoms. OnlyTongue.com. Come on, Flex isn't OnlyMoms. OnlyTongueJobbers. 178 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:13,380 Oh, so good. All right. A little bit of news. Britain's most remote pub offers free beer to those who are adventurous enough to get there. I've had some free beer. The Old Forge on the 179 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:20,300 That's where the Loch Ness Monster is. Just a consonant off of the best location. 180 00:34:21,380 --> 00:34:37,860 And standby on the Noidart Peninsula. Okay. Noidart. It sounds like a peninsula. Sure. Yeah. And Scotland requires a 15 mile hike through the Scottish Highlands to reach it. But once you get 181 00:34:37,860 --> 00:34:43,020 there, they'll give you a free beer. Now I wish like how high are the Scotland Highlands? 182 00:34:43,340 --> 00:34:55,960 The Scottish Highlands? Depends how much weed they smoked. I don't know. Yeah. True. Yeah. Doesn't say. Does not have an altitude. Do you think they smoke a lot up there? Yeah. I don't know. I don't think of Scottish people as like huge stoners. 183 00:34:56,219 --> 00:35:05,920 No. I usually think of them as like drinkers, right? Yeah. And they wear skirts and stuff. Yeah. And like eat gross like meat. Yeah. Like haggish and- 184 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,700 Yes. Well, that's all I got is haggis. And eggs that have been sitting on a bar in a jar. 185 00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:17,400 Oh, yeah. Now, have you had a Scotch egg? That's good stuff. Right? Apparently, pickled eggs are really good. I've not had a- 186 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:24,120 I think I've had one a few times. Pickled anything is good. Let's be honest. Well. Pickle it. I'll put it in my mouth. Anything. 187 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:40,460 The local Legion Hall does pickled eggs. I haven't been there in years, but I thought they were really gross. Are you 90? The local Legion Hall? All right. So, the town I grew up in, it's got like a population- 188 00:35:40,460 --> 00:35:59,660 Stand by. We're getting real Midwestern here. Right. Well, no. This isn't like super Midwestern, but the population of the city I grew up in was like 14,000 plus. And there's one bar growing up. Now, there's like a couple pubs in the downtown village area. But growing up, there's one bar and it was a Legion Post. 189 00:36:00,020 --> 00:36:14,720 So, when you turned 21, you went there and you paid $1.75 for a pint of Coors Light or Bud Light. And you could put $12 down and get fucking hammered. Nice. And have yourself a wonderful night. 190 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,580 That makes Coors Light a little more worth it. Yeah. 191 00:36:16,740 --> 00:36:17,800 I wouldn't do that. Yeah. 192 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:26,500 Yeah. They had this boneless wing night, too, where you'd get like a dozen boneless wings and two beer tokens. It was like something stupid 193 00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:43,260 like 10 bucks. Wow. It's the only night Flex didn't get boned. Hey, you. Sorry. I had to. It's funny. There was, on the way to Staple Center, I don't know if it's still there. I haven't been there since way pre-COVID, but there was a Carl's Jr. that's inside of a hotel. And I think I've talked about 194 00:36:43,260 --> 00:36:44,800 this before. RIP Norm MacDonald. 195 00:36:45,380 --> 00:37:06,020 They took over who knows what used to be there before it was a Carl's Jr. And they kept the alcohol license. Cool. And they had three taps. It was Bud Light, Coors Light, Michelob, or some shit like that. And you'd get a pitcher of beer for $5.50. And so you get a... Carl's Jr. is whatever, 196 00:37:06,220 --> 00:37:22,920 but a burger for three, four bucks. Basically, a burger was the same price as a pitcher of beer. So we would go before basketball, before Laker games, or before concerts, have a couple of pitchers, get nice and hydrated. And then you just need one or two beers while you're at Staple Center, which doesn't cost you your entire life savings. 197 00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:24,560 How much are beers at the Staple Center? 198 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:25,700 Like $300. 199 00:37:26,260 --> 00:37:28,600 Yeah. Like 19 or something. 200 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:37,520 I haven't been there since it was not Staple Center, but like 12, 13 bucks last time I was there, which is pre-COVID. Oh, that's not terrible, but... 201 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:46,400 But we didn't get a whole pitcher. We didn't get a whole pitcher. Yeah. You're like, wow, I just spent what I could have got three pitchers worth. That's rough. 202 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,920 Plus a Starburger. I mean, come on, we're talking about a combination. 203 00:37:50,580 --> 00:37:53,000 How about those fucking star-shaped nuggies? Come on. 204 00:37:53,280 --> 00:38:01,040 Oh, damn. The ranch sauce? Yeah. Like, why are you shaped like a star? Is in a nugget. That's right. Apparently there's some fish in there. 205 00:38:01,620 --> 00:38:09,640 Yeah. The benefits of light to moderate alcohol consumption. I think Vanessa sent this to me. Hi, Vanessa. Hey, Vanessa. 206 00:38:09,940 --> 00:38:17,540 Hey, Vanessa. Hey. Oh, bring it in. Come on. Give us a little more. Come on. Finish that up. 207 00:38:17,980 --> 00:38:19,820 No, I can't do it. That was too soft. 208 00:38:20,620 --> 00:38:23,100 How would handsome Dan say hi to Vanessa? 209 00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:25,700 I can't do that on the air. 210 00:38:26,060 --> 00:38:44,320 That's too bad. All right. A new study from the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, maybe McDreamy can talk to this one, highlights the potential benefits of light to moderate alcohol consumption on heart health. Researchers discovered that one drink per day for women, 211 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:52,520 and one to two drinks per day for men can lead to a long-term reduction in the brain's stress activity, lowering the risk of heart disease. 212 00:38:52,740 --> 00:38:54,400 Oh, yeah. Vanessa did send this to us. 213 00:38:54,820 --> 00:39:00,500 Yeah. So imagine if we had like four or five drinks per day, how great the health benefits would be from that. 214 00:39:00,820 --> 00:39:02,640 Some is good. More is always better. 215 00:39:02,980 --> 00:39:04,740 So yeah, that's just science. 216 00:39:04,940 --> 00:39:18,000 Not science. I believe there's a fact in it states, the more the merrier. Thank you. Yes. Cold hard fact. Yeah. Book of facts. Read it in a book. Must be true. 217 00:39:18,860 --> 00:39:21,520 Scientific book. I think it was the Journal of Medicine. 218 00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:25,440 Yeah. Journal of Wisconsin Medicine. It was very science. 219 00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:29,800 Hell yeah. The more you drink, the healthier you get. Right. 220 00:39:31,220 --> 00:39:38,700 I think we'll end it on this one. Drunk and disorderly Florida man was busted while drinking Florida man beer. 221 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,400 Oh, the Cigar City? Yeah. Oh, okay. That's funny. 222 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:59,340 Seth Thomas, 39, allegedly was yelling at traffic while walking in the roadway in front of traffic and refusing to stop when he was collared by sheriff's deputies in a street in Seminole, a city in the Tampa Bay area. Thomas, cops say, was drinking from a can of Florida 223 00:39:59,340 --> 00:40:14,620 man at the time of his arrest, the beer produced by Tampa Bay Cigar City Brewing. Double IPA that is brewed with nearly, this is in quotes, criminal amounts of hops and a moderate bitterness that just about matches Florida man's general disposition. Stop it right now. 224 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,080 Thomas was- This has to be an amateur article. 225 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,360 No, they took it from the website. I found it. 226 00:40:21,700 --> 00:40:23,600 A criminal amount of hops. 227 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:38,980 Yeah. That was Cigar City's description. Thomas was arrested for disorderly intoxication and misdemeanor and booked into the Pinellas County Jail. He was released from custody last night after posting a $100 bond. Whoa. Step back. 228 00:40:39,340 --> 00:40:53,020 Good luck, everybody. His rap sheet includes recent convictions for obstructing police, trespassing, possession of open alcohol, and disorderly intox. $100 bond. That just says we don't care. 229 00:40:53,020 --> 00:40:58,460 You know what? Why don't you just come in, shake my hand, we'll call it a day, take your buddy. 230 00:40:59,260 --> 00:41:00,940 Promise you're not going to do it again, yeah? 231 00:41:01,460 --> 00:41:06,520 What happens when you drink a double? It's all fun and games. 232 00:41:07,020 --> 00:41:13,940 Maybe he pulled a flex, didn't eat for 12 hours, had a couple double IPAs, a couple Florida mans. It's 8 AM. 8 PM. 233 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:31,160 Sometimes that does happen. It does. I'm living proof it does happen. Give this Florida man a little- And then you keep having more funds. More funds. And then there's more funds to be had, and the funds don't run out. 234 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:36,540 Yeah. No. And who wants to suck the funds? Yeah. Well, until you realize you forgot to order food. 235 00:41:36,740 --> 00:41:43,360 Right. You know it's a good night when fun becomes plural. Correct. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. It's more than just fun. It's funds. 236 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,560 Oh, funds is so much more fun than fun. 237 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,260 Better than- 238 00:41:48,260 --> 00:41:51,740 It's like multiple. I mean, literally. 239 00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:52,100 240 00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:54,480 It's like all the funds. It's better than bad. It's good. 241 00:41:54,480 --> 00:42:03,700 It is all the funds. Oh, dude. I hope the next time you go out and you have a really good night, you're like, wow, that was- That means so much funds. That was the funds. 242 00:42:04,140 --> 00:42:07,920 I mean, we had funds bringing little mini flex out with us to breweries. That is true. 243 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,220 So much funds. It wasn't just 14 funds. It was like- 244 00:42:12,220 --> 00:42:20,120 The pits, right? Like 17 funds. When something is the pits, it's like the worst. Right. So when something is the funds, it's just the best. 245 00:42:20,540 --> 00:42:27,740 My wife wants me to bring mini flex everywhere now and do a flat Stanley thing. Just like, where can we get a picture of mini flex? 246 00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:36,260 Is it really your wife that wants to do that? Surprisingly. Is it your wife or is it you? Are you like, wife, put this in your purse? Will you- 247 00:42:36,260 --> 00:42:38,160 I mean, I certainly did not protest. 248 00:42:38,580 --> 00:42:42,200 Now I'm really wondering, is she single? 249 00:42:43,180 --> 00:42:48,640 You were 100% on board with that. Sounds like she's about to be. Right? Damn it, Greg. 250 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:53,720 I think that's so great. It was such a fun idea. That could be such a fun thing. 251 00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:55,180 How do you feel about threples? 252 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,260 You know what? I'm in. 253 00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:12,100 Okay. Take this one into the chat, you guys. I just can't with this one. I mean, the two of you, but the threpleness, we're going- You didn't mean to alienate. That's too much funds. Too much funds for me. 254 00:43:12,380 --> 00:43:16,320 Well, until we bring in the meat. Then it becomes all the funds. 255 00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:18,260 It's so much. 256 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,560 Way too much funds to handle. 257 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,380 Way too much protein. That's a lot. 258 00:43:24,220 --> 00:43:32,920 Feels like a great time to wrap things up. It is. Because it's only in season. Don't let it get too far. Let's wrap it up. 259 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:34,160 This is pretty good. 260 00:43:34,340 --> 00:43:40,760 I just- Oh dear. Well, thank you all for listening. Erica, I'd like to thank your internet for mostly holding out today. 261 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,620 I know. Yeah, that was nice.
