The best is on your rundown.

It's like top listening.

City goes.

Got iced.

Welcome in, everybody.

It's the craft beer republic.

Thanks for drinking.

Thanks for joining.

I am Greg, and I am being joined by everyone's favorite.

I had nothing prepared but one of my best friends, Coley.

Hey, everybody.

What's cracking?

Thanks for having me.

Thanks for showing up.

It's been a minute.

I'm glad.

I'm happy to be here.

Yeah, it's been a minute.

We haven't hung out, at least on the show.

Just on the show.

You're half responsible for my hangover this morning, though.

What half?

Third.

Okay.

Okay, we'll take it.

Yeah, a little toasty.

We'll talk about that in a couple of you.

Don't forget to follow us on the socials at craft beer Republic at Icecold beer.

Underscores, of course, craftbeerpublic.com 805.

Three a beer.

All that good stuff, as we mentioned.

Because two weeks ago now, at this point, Vanessa's birthday was.

Was there, and she did birthday things.

And so I just want to give a shout out to.

Hi, Vanessa.

Hi, Vanessa.

Hi, guys.

What the fuck?

When did you get here?

Oh, it's been a minute.

How's everyone?

Good.

How are you?

I'm recovering.

Recovering from a long week of drinking.

Yeah, she's the other third of the reason I'm so hungover.

Makes sense now.

You must be toasty.

Well, we'll get into it.

You've visited, like, 900 breweries, but almost like 875.

All right, before we get into anything, as you can hear, we're toasty.

I need a little something in my liver.

Let's get right in to some beverages.

Out of my beer.

Yeah, we do.

Vanessa was kind enough to come over with something I'm very excited for.

You want to.

You want to give us some stats before we talk about it?

Yeah.

So right now we are drinking the pineapple, the passion fruit orange guava goza from

Fremont brewing.

They're out of Seattle, Washington.

I picked this one up when I was there last weekend with some friends from Seattle and great

Brewery.

And this beer is very refreshing, so goes down very easily.

Nice on a hot day.

A lot of fruit flavors.

Yeah, it smells like a fruit salad on the old schnazaruni.

Yes.

Good pogba.

A tropical fruit salad.

Very poggy.

What's the abv on this bad boy?

It's 4.5.

Nice and light.

Love a good goza.

I'm gonna have to give him a little bit of a middle finger for stealing my idea though.

This is the beer I want to make with Monica.

So as much as I may like this, it's not going to be as good as the one we make.

Hear, hear.

Yeah.

Very, very fruity, very tribal.

Pag is like my favorite fruit combo.

Yes.

It's like being in Hawaii.

It's so great.

So good.

So I love this.

This is light, easy to drink.

It's curing the hangover that has resurfaced.

It's in the nineties here today.

So this is super refreshing.

Yeah, it's perfect for the hot weather.

So good.

It's noon, it's already almost 90 degrees.

Fuck that house.

Yeah.

Well, thank you for bringing this over.

Thank you.

Of course.

I can't believe we're all here in person.

This is so much fun.

I haven't done an all in person show since like Covid.

This is so much fun for me and easier for the technical things.

Absolutely.

We're here to help.

We are here to help.

This is, this is phenomenal.

So as you guys can hear, Vanessa's here, which is crazy as fuck.

You've road tripped from Seattle.

Did you start in Seattle?

Yeah.

So we flew over to Seattle.

That was the longest flight I've ever been on.

It was about 6 hours and spent a few days there, went down to Portland a few days there,

went to Sacramento, hung out with Erica.

Knock, knock.

Oh shit.

Yeah.

So fun.

It was fun.

Low key, a little jealous and then.

Been here for a few days before we going back tomorrow.

So it's been a nice trip.

We've hit up hopefully 70 breweries by the time we get out of here.

Yeah.

At this point.

What is it, like 60, 66?

We're at 66.

We got two today.

Yeah.

At least.

Yeah, we'll knock.

We'll hit 70.

Yeah.

And then two tomorrow maybe.

Yeah.

On the way to the airport.

So very nice.

Any favorites from the trip?

Fremont was a good one.

Brought some to go to come and then great notion was one that I had been dying to go to in

Tacoma, Washington.

Narrows was one of our favorites.

Just on the water.

Great view, great beer.

The brewer came out and spoke to us, so that was, you know, that made all the difference.

When the staff comes out and takes their time to talk to you, did they recognize you?

Oh my God.

They actually did because I had my beer babes family shirt and I was with Cheryl and we

were trying to get a collab working with them, so they actually reached out like, are you

Vanessa?

And I'm like, yes, that's so cool.

It is cool.

Yeah.

But those were good.

And movement brewing in Sacramento was really good.

I've had a couple from them.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So everything's been good.

And we liked petals and pint.

Yeah.

And naughty pine was really good.

Yeah.

Some of our favorites.

Yeah.

Yesterday.

So we did some damage.

So much to talk about.

About yesterday.

And this morning.

Did some damage.

Yesterday.

We started off in Ventura.

We did Topa Bell ringer, VCBC made west transmission.

Casa agria, tarantula Hill.

Yes.

Can't believe I rattled that all.

And I think we made it home by just around midnight.

Right around midnight.

And I thought I was okay until I got in the Uber to go home.

And that's when the recording stopped.

I was like, oh, I'm less okay than I realized this morning.

Like, I don't feel sick at all.

Just feel real toasty.

See, Friday night when we went to naughty pine and petals, right before that, Nick and I

went out to dinner and I had two margaritas.

And then I came home and had some water and then got my uber to your house so we could go

to naughty pine.

Had one beer at naughty pine.

Like, her light, her lightest one, her sturdy bee pills.

And then I had one hill rider at petals.

I had the gnarliest headache when I woke up.

Really gnarly.

Doesn't it make you feel like a child?

Like, I can't have two?

That's why I did tasters all day yesterday.

I'm like, I'm drinking the smallest amount of beer that I can, and I just.

I was, like, in the back of my neck and my head, it was just.

Yeah, that's where I've got it today.

It was bad.

We just can't drink like we're in our twenties anymore, which is weird.

Cause we're definitely still in our twenties.

Yeah.

Not knocking on 40 whatsoever.

Never.

Yeah.

God, no.

You're younger than us, right?

A couple years younger.

37.

You didn't have to say it.

But, you know, she's really 35.

Minus ten.

Minus ten.

We all are.

Yeah.

I have that back of the head, back of the neck headache thing where I probably slept like

a.

You know, somebody got buried or something.

I don't know.

But you.

I can hear in my voice that it doesn't sound quite normal.

It's a little raspy.

You still sound like you.

All right.

I start recording some voiceovers.

I think that was all the loud music yesterday at Casagria Tarantula Hill.

We were kind of had to scream to.

Casa was weird.

They had some, like, hippie.

Hippie jazz.

Jazz, yeah.

Two keyboards in one band.

Why do we need two keyboardists?

Cause you gotta have them casio beats.

That's what it was.

And the amount of awkward white people dancing, we had to watch slow motion dancing.

It reminded me of that Chappelle skit with John Mayer.

I don't know.

I don't remember that one.

Oh, he would go around.

It was like, to prove that white people can't not dance to slow guitar jams.

Oh, my God.

And it was John Mayer and Dave Chappelle just watched around, and they'd start playing, or

he'd play guitar, and then the white people would just start dancing all slow and, oh,

that's white.

Like, I don't know why.

That's great.

I think it was Chappelle show.

Great skip.

But, yeah, it was weird as fuck.

And then, of course, we got to t hill.

And my biggest complaint about t hill is it's a fucking club full of children at night, on

the weekends.

And by children, we mean 21 year old.

Yeah.

Legally aged children.

And then this morning, these fuckers come over for breakfast, and Vanessa's like, I'm so

nice.

Look at me.

Here's some beer I brought you guys.

Like, oh, how nice.

I'm like, wow, this bag is really heavy for having a four pack in it.

It had your beers from casa agri in it, too.

It had two four packs.

Two four packs.

Okay, whatever it was, it felt heavier than it needed to.

This is weird.

And so I set it on the counter, and I opened it up, and I was like, is this a water?

What a fucking amateur move.

Of course not.

It was a big ass fucking ice, these fuckers.

1030 in the morning.

And I touched it, too, like an idiot.

I was like, oh, what is this, Grant?

Well, you tried not to.

You put it down, and you're like, I touched it too late.

Yeah, it's like touching a dick.

Like, oh, you've already touched it.

You can't not take care of it now.

It's very true.

And you took care of it in under a minute 30.

Just under a minute 30.

That was the big.

It was the bomber.

That's all they had.

I went to Albertsons.

My choices were slim.

Vanessa woke up and chose violence today.

It was hard to watch.

It was hard to drink.

You were a champ.

I want to say to Erica, I'm so sorry for the Gapf ice.

I do appreciate that you didn't give me that garbage as blue flavor that we got her.

Cause that thing looked disgusting.

I was hoping Albertsons did not have that one when I went to pick it up yesterday morning,

and it was just the regular citrus, and I was like, oh, yeah, that'll do.

That's fine.

That's good.

Yeah.

It tasted like a cheap margarita.

And you're not a fan of margaritas?

Margaritas?

I just don't like tequila.

Like, I'll drink a margarita here and there if it's, you know, taco day or some shit.

But, yeah, I gotta say, like, at first I was like, oh, I'm feeling actually a little bit

better.

Started to right the ship a little.

Bit, so you said.

And then the sugar kicked in, and the ship was like, hey, I'm tilting back over.

This is bad.

Hopefully this beer will set you in the right direction.

Dull that headache a little bit.

Fingers crossed.

So fuck you guys.

Fuck you, too.

Very welcome.

That's what friends are for.

Yeah.

And Mister Vixen was Adam.

He's like, I had nothing to do with this.

We call him Mister Vixen now.

Mister Vixen, I like that.

The real beer bastard.

He's like, I had nothing to do with this.

I would not do this to you in the morning.

Of course not.

So I believe him.

He's not a team player.

That's all I'm going to say.

Before I forget, shout out to our top listening city of last week, and that is Pennington,

New Jersey.

I don't know why they keep topping the charts, but thanks for listening.

That's pretty sweet.

What else have, oh, yesterday, listener John, who didn't kill me a couple weeks ago at

Petalse, met us at transmission and, uh, actually brought me a couple of beers.

We'll have those, at least one of those on the show at some point, but, uh, wasn't prepared

today.

But, uh.

So shout out to John for stopping by.

Poor guy had to sit there and talk to me while I was deep throating some wings and

transmission.

You even ate the last four of mine.

Like, and finish.

How many did you eat?

I don't know.

Shannon goes, do you want more wings?

I'm like, I mean, I don't not want more wings.

They're so good.

They're like, almost like a chicharrone.

Like, the skins are fried and crispy.

They're probably some of the best wings I've ever had.

Super crispy.

They got the dry rub, which I was saying a couple weeks ago.

Normally not a fan of the dry rub when it comes to wings.

I want that classic, you know, buffalo.

These ones are delicious.

And it keeps them crispy.

Yeah, it does help keep them from sagging.

Those things are like, I could.

I feel like them again now, but I was really full yesterday.

I was like, I cannot eat any more wings.

Yeah, I must have had, like, if.

I had your 14.

Yeah, 13 or 14.

Something like that killed it.

What a fat ass.

I mean, they're tiny.

They are pretty small.

So, Reggie want wingy.

Riggy always want wingie.

All right, before we get any further, the other thing that happened on your road trip, you

stayed with Erica.

You guys hung out on the farm, petted some goats and whatnot.

I got this voicemail the other night.

I can hear.

Oh, no.

We were wasted.

I could hear Erica's Abv or Bac.

At this point, when I get the voicemails, they show up voice to text or whatever, and it

looks like a text message.

And just reading it, I was like, oh, Erica.

Shittered.

And then I listened to it right before the show started.

I was like, oh, she's definitely shitting.

So.

So here's shittered Erica the other night.

Hello.

No one is available to take your call.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Hey, guys, it's Erica.

I'm just calling in because, you know, I'm not there on the show and I want to help out.

That's off normal.

So let's do the traditional.

I just want to say hi, Vanessa.

Hi, Erica.

Hey, girl.

Hi, Greg.

Hi, Flex.

How are you guys?

Oh, my gosh.

I'm hanging out with Vanessa.

How lucky am I?

Love you guys.

We just hit up five breweries.

I mean, for Vanessa, that's really not that 5 hours.

Okay, so we are pretty efficient.

But for you, that's not that many.

Not that many, but we did.

So she's heading your way now.

Watch out.

See you guys.

Bye.

That's so cute.

Did you get to, like, see all the farm animals while you were there?

Yeah, we went down, saw the goats, walked down, and saw all the chickens.

One of the chickens had laid an egg.

Nice.

Really nice out there.

Gorgeous views.

Got to watch the sunset while enjoying a beer.

That's awesome.

It was nice.

Do you have anything on tapd?

No, we didn't have anything on tap.

When we were there.

She goes, hey, let's hit the tap.

And so we each had a beer, and I was like, hey, who needs a refill?

Went to get more beer kicked.

I was like, what kind of host are you?

Amateurs, mostly.

Empty kegs.

So 85538 beer is the number to call if you are hammered and feel like leaving us a

voicemail.

We always appreciate drunk voicemails, let me tell you.

Before we get any further, I just want to mention magic mind.

We got magic mind back again.

You heard about it last week, talking about some more.

They are the little shot that helps your coffee last longer.

I'm still drinking coffee.

I'm doing about two, one to two cups a day.

When I take these instead of my three to four.

It's easy to incorporate into your morning.

Keep them in the fridge.

They're better cold.

I highly recommend it.

Just have a cup, chug it, and then have another cup of coffee.

I'm on day.

I think this is done, like five in a row at this point.

And now the wife's doing it, too.

She's like, I want to try this.

So she's been doing it for a few days and.

And she likes them as well.

Like I said, improves my coffee experience, allows me to drink less coffee.

Not so jittery, not so caffeinated all day long.

I also, at 02:00, I'm not like, where's my fucking Red Bull?

Which is kind of nice.

And there's this thing in there called l theanine.

I'm sure I nailed that.

That's what makes your coffee last longer.

I'm not a scientist, so I'm just going to take their word for it.

I love that it's no sugar.

You know me, I don't.

I don't really eat sugar.

I'm keto.

Except for my beverages.

Is that for the ice?

Oh, so much sugar.

It's like a bottle of diabetes.

Everything is natural, sourced from the best suppliers they could find.

Keto friendly, nut free, vegan, paleo friendly, no sugar.

Like I said, it's got matcha.

Got a lot of matcha flavor in it, if you're into that flavor.

So if any of this is hitting home with you, you want to make your coffee last a little

longer, have a little energy.

My wife said it helped with the focus a little bit as the day went on.

Give it a shot.

All right, let's move on to a little news.

In fact, are you guys ready for a second beer?

I am a little parched.

I am.

I feel like your head could use it, too.

I also feel like my head could use it.

Let's make a call of the pen.

He calls to the bullpen for beer.

Yeah, he does.

All right, let me open up some links.

We are drinking, and I bought this in honor of flex because it more than meets the

algorithm.

Plain tiger, which is a pale ale from Casa agri a6%a, 383, and untapped.

They say plain tiger is a west coast pale ale brewed with golden promise and wheat and is

dry hopped with an extra big dose of amarillo, chinook, eukonot, enigma, and Simcoe hops.

Medium bodied and soft stone fruit flavors make this one a can't miss.

And it fits the algorithm so well because they got this shit on sale for four.

No, $10.

A four pack.

I bought six last night.

I bought a couple of four packs.

Just the whole case.

I was gonna buy four, and the guy's like, you know, if you buy two more, I can give you a

full, like.

It'll be a full flat.

And I was like, well, I'm a consumer whore, so.

And how.

Let's do it.

You're like, oh, free cardboard.

I'm in.

Yeah, I bought a couple myself.

And, God, it's so good.

The schnoz.

I get, like, a peachiness.

I get, like, a stone fruit, definitely.

Yeah, little stone fruit.

It's a light, light smell.

Light aroma.

Slightly dank on the nose, too.

You a little danky peach.

That danky peach, that was your nickname in high school.

Sounds like a dance move.

Do the danky peach on the old tongue jobber.

It really follows the nose.

Get a little bit of that stone fruit.

It's super light, light bodied, good amount of carbonation, dry on the finish.

Keeps it coming back for more.

It's just a great summer beer, too.

It's a good summer beer.

It's so crushable.

What's the abv?

I was just gonna check because I already forgot it.

Is 6% okay right on that line of being sick.

It's a fine line.

You can walk a fine line.

You have two or three.

And then time to switch over to a banquet, as Nick would say.

Right.

I feel like I did that.

The banquet.

I opened the door because my dad used to drink it and I wanted to try one for like a

nostalgia thing.

I'm like, oh, let's just get like a little twelve pack or something.

We'll take it to the desert.

Nick liked it really more than I thought he would, and now I did.

I'm responsible for the banquet buying.

That's so funny.

I know.

It's not a bad beer.

It's just.

Anyway, sorry to sidebar that.

I just needed to take full responsibility for next banquet buying drinking habit now.

Yeah.

Not a bad beer after you've had a few, right?

It's to end the night a banquet.

I had my first one like last month.

I'm so proud.

Is that after we were talking about it on the show?

Yes, that's the only reason why I got it.

It's so cool.

I mean, they're great.

Like camping beers.

Like we.

You know.

Cause they're.

It's a quantity beer, right.

And.

Or if you're playing beer pong or.

Something, or like cornhole.

It's just like.

Like I said, it's just like a good camping beer.

Like, they're just.

They're in the cooler and you're good.

And they're so much cheaper than like 805 right now, right?

Yeah.

805 is like more than a dollar a beer now.

It's $2 a beer.

I think it's like overdem.

I think it's like $28.99 for a 24 pack or something.

Wow, it's wild.

Yeah.

So, yeah, I'm not mad at a banquet every now, especially, you know, you start off good, you

blow your palate out with some hoppy beers and then, you know, in the night, a couple.

So you drink three of these and then we got banquets in the fridge for you with your name

on it.

Exactly.

Vanessa, when it comes to shitty beer, what's your favorite shitty beer?

What's the finest of the shitty.

My favorite shitty beer.

I mean, I'll go for a ying a ling.

Okay, probably.

But if not a Miller high life.

Oh, yeah, we did talk about that yesterday.

That's a champagne of beers.

It's true.

It just depends where you're at, what you can find, what's available.

What's a shitty beer?

That's just a no go.

Like, I'm not doing it.

I'm not doing a bud light or Heineken.

Oh, Heineken is skunk milank.

Yeah.

Also, I can't do any of the natties I used to do.

Not anymore.

Grosse.

There's been plenty of time when I've walked into my dad's house, hey, you want a beard?

And she gives me a fucking natty light.

I'm like, oh, we had tech stands.

Of that back in college, but, oof.

Play beer pong with that.

I used to back in, like, the college days, do my fair share of bud light drinking.

That was us.

Yeah, I can't touch it anymore.

Gross.

Yeah, it's so.

I mean, most of the light beers are disgusting anyways, but it's extra gross.

My first keg I ever bought was a bud light cake.

Doing keg stands and shit.

Mine was Beck's.

Oh, I don't know.

I can't tell you.

The last time I had a bex.

It was my 21st birthday, and I got a keg of becks.

Cause I didn't want Bud.

And my mom was like, oh, what else do you want?

I'm like, let's get becks.

And that's what we had.

And it was fine.

That's the last time I had it.

Got the job done.

Yeah, that's funny.

Yeah.

I don't miss those days.

Not one bit.

No, I went to a.

Was it a concert?

Yeah, it was a concert.

It was at Dodger Stadium one time, and they had shut down all their other beer options.

It was just for the concert only.

If you want beer, your options were Budweiser, Bud light, or mango cart from Golden Road.

I would go with a mango cart.

I didn't drink that night.

I was like, you know what?

Not worth it.

It's really.

They're all.

They suck.

Yeah, yeah.

They're all garbage and they're all $20.

I had never had one until my friend Ida got married in the ruby room at Golden Road last

year.

And I'm like, you know what?

I should try it.

Like, we're here.

Whatever.

Like, you know, it's sweet.

It's like.

It's gross.

It's not.

I thought it was going to be like, pocock has a mango and it's dry, but there's, like,

mango flavor.

Like a mango nada with beer.

Yeah, it was gross.

It's.

It's no bueno.

I digress.

Yeah, super gross.

All right, before we wrap things up around here, let's get a little news.

In.

In a huge case of no one cares, Allagash launches their first non alcoholic offering with

hop water.

Why?

Why?

I thought hopwater craze.

I put that in quotes.

I thought the hop water craze was over.

Like, people tried it for a while.

Turns out no one fucking wanted it, and then they got over it.

I.

I was never a fan.

I tried a few, but, yeah, what's the point?

Well, and I don't think water, I.

Oh, my gosh.

I really don't feel like it sold that well anyway, so, like, why would you jump on the

train or the craze this late?

Yeah, how do you trying to lose money?

Do you hate money?

Do you hate money?

Golly.

How do you guys feel about non alcoholic beers?

I don't want to drink them.

I don't want to drink them either.

Why?

Those empty calories.

Exactly.

That's me.

I want a buzz if I'm going to drink alcohol.

I do think it's great for, like, I mean, I do have some people I used to work with that are

sober.

Sure.

And I do feel like it's kind of what's great for people that are, like, still trying to,

like, fit in with.

Yeah, you want to socialize.

Everyone's making a beer experience the flavor, some flavor profiles.

Right.

That's not going to be exactly the same, but, like, a similar flavor profile to what your

friends drink so you can feel connected.

Like, I.

Yeah, I get it.

For the social experience if you're not a drinker anymore, that kind of thing.

I know a guy who doesn't drink but will drink those when he's at a party.

Just, you know, you don't want to look like a weirdo in the corner.

Not drinking when everybody's a small market.

Super small.

Yeah.

Beyond that reason, I'm like, no, it's empty calories, empty carbs, and I'm not even

catching a buzz from it.

I'll just have a fucking lacroix or something.

That's.

Yeah, I'd rather have a salt or water.

No problem.

Oh, a diet doctor pepper.

I got one of those at Home Depot a couple weeks ago.

Home Depot?

Yeah, cuz, whatever.

You go for your groceries?

No, we're there, like, all the time.

For bread and a drill, please.

I mean, as much as we're there, like, I wish they had groceries because I could.

I could bang out a too far.

Cause we're always fucking there.

And, you know, Nick's like, oh, a Coca Cola classic.

Sounds delicious.

He must have been hungover sometimes, but sometimes he just wants a.

As he says, a Coca Cola classic.

Gotta put the classic in there, right?

And I'm like, oh, I'll take a diet doctor pepper.

And he's like, that's disgusting.

I'm like, dude, shut up.

Your face is disgusting.

Yeah, I can't do diet drinks.

Sorry.

No, just Coca Cola for me and not Diet Coke or Diet doctor pepper.

I.

It's gross.

What about, like, a Coke zero?

No, that's gross.

Okay, so I used to.

I don't know what happened.

They say, like, your tastes change, you know, like, every seven years.

I guess you're kind of right.

But it used to taste really funky.

Like, I mean, I would be like, this is diet, but if it's really cold, I cannot distinguish

the difference anymore.

I don't know what happened to my taste buds.

I believe you're wasted and you drink it.

You can't waste a.

It's too sweet for me to drink the regular.

Same.

If I had a regular.

It's like, another fan favorite.

Diet squirt.

That's what she said.

Hey.

Oh, I didn't know they had a diet squirt.

Oh, they do.

It's great.

You can make, like a.

Like a poor man's paloma with it.

It's really good.

I've never had squirt.

I don't even know what that is.

It's a grapefruit soda.

It is delicious.

Like a citrus grapefruit.

It was one of my favorite sodas.

It's good.

I can't drink more than, like, one.

It's very specific flavor that.

It's not, like, a chuggable flavor.

You know, like, you could put down coke after coke or whatever, but I can't put down squirt

after squirt.

Put down some squirts, everybody.

What's your go to hangover food or drink or.

What do you do when you're cured?

Fucked up the next day.

Water and sleep.

I just lay in bed all day.

I can't eat if I'm really hungover.

I just can't keep any food down.

So maybe some sprite.

I'll do some sprite or gatorade.

I just want to lay down and sleep.

You go, like, the medical route.

You're like, oh, get some pedialyte and a nap.

Yeah, smart.

Probably.

Yeah.

I don't want to eat anything.

It's like, ugh, I want to throw it up.

If I eat anything, I'm like, give me some pickle juice.

Take me to brunch, slap my ass, and give me a little bit of.

I don't want to think about anything.

Is that before or after you puke all over the bed?

Sir?

Ma'am, that is another story for another time, and it's very recent.

Next show.

Next show.

Yeah.

I mean, I've talked about it many times.

Diet Doctor pepper is my go to flex.

Loves a donut when he's hungover.

It's too sugary for me.

I can't do no if I'm going hung hangover.

I want savory.

Yeah.

I want some fucking bacon in my life.

And, like, I can't keep it down.

I'm really hungry.

Refried beans from calaveras.

Refried beans, huh?

Mm hmm.

That's a weird one.

It'll hit the spot.

Makes sense, though.

I mean, it's.

You know, it's.

I was gonna say it's thick.

Binding.

That's a better word for it.

It's binding.

Brings it all together and flushes right out.

Yeah, well, you're all fucking smart with your pedialytes and gatorades.

And then there's us.

Then you can drink your hop water, too.

Yeah.

Cause that's where this whole thing started.

That's gonna be a no for me, dog.

Buzz balls.

You guys enjoy any buzz balls?

No, but I saw the ones that are, like, as big as my head at Bevmo the other day when I was

going for my rumple mints.

Number one caused me to throw up in the bed again.

We'll get to that another time.

I've heard of them.

I've had some.

Oh, they had them, like, on some.

Moms have tried it, and they said it's good.

You just.

One does the job.

I haven't tried it.

I haven't tried it.

Deb loves them.

She tried to get us to drink them.

When Erica was down here, we had talked about.

And she's like, I'm gonna bring buzz balls for everybody.

And she forgot them, thank God.

It's like a harder version of a shmernoff.

It's, like, super sugary, and I can't.

But.

Buzz balls files a patent infringement lawsuit against Beveridge Ranch.

The wine spirit and malt based cocktail brand filed a lawsuit against the beverage ranch

last week, alleging the rival company copied its patent packaging for its new slamsies

line.

Slamsies?

Who wants a slamsies?

We playing pogs or we playing freaking drinking games here?

What's happening?

We're playing keeps, I guess so.

The complaint was filed in the US District Court of the Western District of Texas on June

21 and centers on a us patent, abbreviated as the 955 patent, which was issued to Buzz

Ball's founder, merrily kick in 2022, pertains to the design of buzz Ball's unique

containers.

Fishbowl.

Is that that unique?

It's a fucking circle.

It looks like a Christmas ornament.

Yeah.

Let's be honest.

They claim that slamsies.

I just like saying that name.

Plastic, round, plastic containers directly infringe on at least two claims of the buzz

balls patent.

What a shame.

When you're hurting for money that bad.

Yeah, you'll do anything.

That just means no one likes your buzz balls.

They are a cheap buzz.

They're like $2.99.

Are they that cheap?

Yeah.

Miami.

About 299.

I wonder how much good buzz are.

Look it up in the Bev mouth.

It's like a fishbowl size.

Like, how big?

They're big.

The ones I saw were ginormous.

Oh, that's insane.

That sounds like a fucking puke fest, right?

Waiting to happen when I google this right now while you read another story and we'll

report back.

We will report back the world's most valuable beer brands.

What do you guys think?

Any brands you.

$20.

Sorry.

Oh, for the big one.

Yeah.

Buzz ball biggies.

They should just call them big balls.

They should.

It is.

Anyway, sorry, they're $20.

No, thanks.

All right, most valuable beer brands.

What do you guys think tops the list of the most valuable beer brand?

Like Stone?

Are they craft, or is this like, anything?

It's anything.

Oh, I'm gonna say obviously.

Bud.

Yeah, Bud.

Budweiser.

Budweiser's up there at 13 billion.

The number one most valuable, valuable beer brand right now is Corona, valued at $19

billion.

Disgusting.

Yeah, it's fucking gross.

It's like the worst mexican beer.

Give me a pacifico.

Give me a dosekis.

Give me sobriety.

Give me so much modelo.

Yeah.

What is sobriety?

Is that Spanish for a beer?

Okay, Corona, Budweiser, Heineken, Modelo, Brahma.

I don't know.

I think Brahma owns a bunch of brands or something.

Michelob Ultra.

Oh, my God.

At 6.5 billion.

Hey, to all you skinny white chicks drinking your Michelob Ultra out there.

What is wrong with you?

Actually, it's all dudes.

I never see girls drinking that crap.

No.

Either.

It's all bros.

We're like, I gotta watch my finger.

Skull.

Oh.

Bud light.

Skoal.

Guinness and Stella Artois.

Ugh.

That's a whole list of puke.

Yeah, that's trash.

That's nothing I wanna drink.

Yeah.

Eight of the ten brands.

But banklet not on there.

I know.

You got yourself a deal, right?

Eight of the ten of those brands are all owned by Budweiser.

Not a huge surprise there.

All right, we're gonna end it with this one because Vanessa's here.

Of course.

Drunk, naked Florida man was found sitting inside a garbage can.

Oh, he was arrested?

A Florida man was arrested after authorities reportedly found him drunk and naked inside a

garbage can.

I don't know what the fuck this name is.

W y l y.

Wiley.

Is that a weird way of saying wily?

I believe so.

Is that the Florida spell?

Yeah.

Wiley.

Wylie.

Wylie.

Wiley.

James Weeks, 35, was taken into custody after he tried arguing with cops about whether he

was allowed to engage in such behaviors.

St.

Petersburg police alleged Weeks was intoxicated, unsteady on his feet, and reeked of

alcohol when they discovered him on a downtown street last Saturday.

During the encounter, Weeks claimed he couldn't be arrested because he was, quote, yeah,

allowed to be drunk and disorderly and sit naked in Trashcan on the public sidewalk.

The 35 year old also said he didn't have to tell police his name or demographics.

After officers pulled the nude man from the trash can, they arrested weeks or for

disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer without violence.

According to reports, he pleaded guilty to both misdemeanor charges the next day, was fined

$520.

This was not the only time he was caught on a drunken escapade.

It's reported that he and a male friend were also spotted drunk and naked on a Tampa street

after they left a bar.

They allegedly told cops they thought it would be funny to take their clothes off.

Okay, you give this guy anything, and he drops his panties.

Yeah, he doesn't need the southern comfort for that.

He just drops it right away.

Wow, that's, um.

I.

Okay, so, here's my question.

You have no clothes, right?

They book you.

Sure.

They put you in a jumpsuit, whatnot, I would imagine.

What do you leave?

What do you wear when you leave?

If you come in with nothing, what do you wear?

Like, they just discharge you, and they're like, okay, bro, get home safe.

Hope your uber's not mad.

Like, what do you do?

Maybe you get a free jumpsuit.

That's why I was wondering.

I don't know, but I don't know how that works.

Me neither.

Let me go outside, take my clothes off.

We'll see how this goes.

This is great.

I can't wait to find out.

Yeah.

You'll be my one phone call just to let you know.

I'll bring you clothes.

Perfect.

And then you will see what happens.

Yeah.

Meet me outside in the parking lot when they let me out.

Sounds like we're gonna fight.

I just don't know how you get so drunk that you're like, let me just take off my clothes

and go.

Streaking and lay in this trash can.

Yeah, and climb in the trash can.

Nothing sounds more unsanitary to.

Than being naked in a trash can.

Your uncovered butt on it.

Like, one thing.

I mean, let's take off our clothes, go in the pool.

Okay.

Yeah.

Walking along the street naked.

It's weird jumping into a trash can.

Why?

I actually knew a guy back in the day, and when he hit that point of Drunksville, he'd just

start taking his clothes off.

Oh, God.

We would be in bars, and he just started, like, pulling his pants down.

Oh.

I was like, uh, hey, bud, not here.

Good news.

Not tonight.

You're not here today.

Uh, he doesn't drink anymore, which is probably for the best.

He chose sobriety.

He.

Yeah, he.

He went the right.

The right route there, but, yeah, I remember one time, right, abarth, he's playing pool,

and you could see it hit.

He's about ready to shoot.

He puts his.

His stick down, just fucking yanks his pants off, and then goes back to playing pool.

Like, he didn't just take his pants off.

Oh, he's ready to party.

That is.

That's crazy.

Wow.

Good times.

Good times.

I'm glad he found himself later.

I did okay.

I'm just glad we never got in trouble.

Yeah, that's like, a little can go a long way, is to say.

Yeah, well, especially when your pants are off.

Yeah, I was only with him a few times.

We were not, like, the closest.

Afraid.

He was a cool guy.

We'd hang out, but I was like, fuck, there could be a time when we're just out here

drinking, and he takes his pants off and, like, a cop rolls by or something, or somebody

decides to report him.

A couple times we did get kicked out of the bar.

They're like, hey, is a place where they knew him?

Like, hey, you got to get.

I don't want to say his name, but you got to get Brian.

We'll say Brian.

You gotta get Brian out of here.

Like, all right, we're going.

Had to, like, pull his pants up.

Oh, my God, how embarrassing.

Let's see how underwear on, right?

Those times.

Thank God.

Yeah, yeah.

Like, free balling takes them off.

No, no, not the right day.

Wearing a swim trunks.

I did have another.

I was out once.

This is bringing up all these memories of dive bars.

I was out one time with a guy, and I didn't realize he'd done a little pregaming.

And I was like, hey, I'll pick you up I'm gonna.

I just wanna go grab a couple of beers.

Like, yeah, come get me.

We'll go have some beers.

So we're at the bar.

I'd had, like, two tops.

I was not drunk at all.

And he had had probably as much as I'd had.

And all of a sudden, he starts passing out, and, like, he's doing the.

He's bomb for cock.

He's BFC.

And the bartender came over.

He's like, hey.

And I didn't even realize it.

He's like, you gotta get your friend out of here.

I was like, why?

What's going?

And as I turned my head, he's like, passed out snow.

Yeah, sorry, bud.

Yup.

I will get him.

He's like, do you want help?

I was like, if you don't mind, super nice guy.

Help me carry him out to the car.

I mean, literally had to, like, weekend at burgers.

Into the car.

Got him in, and then we got to his apartment.

Thank God he lived on the first floor.

I was just going to ask him, please tell me there's no stairs.

No stairs.

Thank God.

Got him into his apartment, and he starts to, like, come alive a little bit and was like,

out of the bathroom.

I was like, first of all, I'm not fucking helping you.

But no, God, no.

I said, all right.

Do you need me to do anything?

Like, guide you there?

He's like, I got it.

So I kind of, like, half guided him to the.

To the bathroom.

I hear the door shut, and then I just hear all this banging.

And he fell over, turns out.

Fell over.

Never got his pants off.

Pissed himself.

Pissed himself in the bathroom.

Missed it by that much.

That's a rough night.

Yeah.

I don't think I've gotten that bad before, but it was comical.

Fortunately.

Unfortunately, I don't know.

He didn't remember.

Next day, I was like, doing all right.

Yeah.

Why?

I was like, well, you fell over and you pissed your pants in the back.

You didn't wake up in a puddle.

Guess not.

Dried overnight.

12 hours of sleep, and it'll do that to you.

You go into a coma, and you wake up the next morning, your pee pee's all dry.

I guess.

Yeah.

I've yet to piss myself while drunk.

That's not on my bingo card.

That's good.

Yeah.

That's impressive.

Yeah.

But Vanessa's real quiet, so I haven't either.

Trying to think.

She's like, oh, there was that one time.

Yeah, I have fallen asleep.

Not cause I was wasted.

I was just so tired.

But we went out to a club, and I fell asleep, like, on the speaker at the club.

I was just.

Exhausting day.

I've had, like, one drink that's so tired.

Have you ever been kicked out of a bar?

Slash brewery?

Yes.

Oh.

Oh, yeah, that's happened, too.

Yeah, it was my friend's.

We were underage.

It was my friend's 20th birthday.

We had been pre drinking at the house.

We got a limo, went out to a bar, and drinking, taking shots.

And next thing I know, I guess they had told Shawn, Michael, go, you need to take her out.

She's gonna be kicked out.

Oh, like, because you're.

Yeah, I guess.

I don't remember, obviously.

And I got kicked out.

Nice.

Famously.

We were not served on our bachelor party trip when we went to modern times.

Cause it was.

We did that whole crawl in San Diego down 30th street.

And by the time we got to modern times, which was the very last stop, both myself and

Deanna were full weekend at Bernie's.

Nick's like, what?

Oh, those.

They're just.

They did a lot of walking today.

That's always Nick.

They're just.

They're not.

They're not tired.

They're just tired.

They don't need to drink.

He's like, I'll take a drink.

They don't need to drink.

Cause they're very tired.

But, like, don't not serve me.

Cause my tired friends.

Yeah, don't.

Nick had this whole spiel.

He was like, I am.

They are not getting me served.

That was hilarious.

I think he still got a.

He got a taster.

Absolutely.

Did convince him to give him a taster.

Cause, boy, did he need another beer, too.

They allowed you in?

They allowed us in for one taster of beer.

Did not serve us.

Okay.

But they did serve Nick.

And I don't remember if Adan got a drink or nothing.

I don't remember.

I think he had stopped drinking at that point.

He was the responsible one that day and was just trying to make sure we didn't die.

Yes.

I guess it wasn't kicked out, but definitely not served.

I don't think I've been kicked out, kicked out before.

Oh, I did get kicked out once.

Oh, fuck.

I totally forgot about this.

I had hooked up with a girl, and we were at this bar.

This had happened, you know, like, months prior.

Hadn't talked to her in a while.

And I'm at this bar with some friends, and all of a sudden, security walks up to me.

And we're not being rowdy or any.

We're just hanging out, drinking, talking.

He goes, hey, man, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

Why?

What happened?

Like, I was stunned.

He's like, you just gotta go.

What do you mean I gotta go?

I said, you gotta tell me what's going on.

And he goes, all right, well, there's a girl here.

She says she has a restraining order against you.

I was like, who?

And he's like, she's on the other side of the bar.

And I look over, it was that chick.

She did not have a.

We hooked up one time, and I didn't call her.

And I guess she got really mad about that, and, uh, so told him she had a restraining order

against me.

And he goes, look, I don't want to fight.

I don't want a scene.

He's just, you got to go.

I said, look, I'm not going to fight with you.

I'm not.

First of all, you're three times my size.

Not looking to pick a fight.

I'll go.

I said, but I want you to know this is absolute bullshit.

There's no restraining order.

She's mad that I never called her back or whatever, and this is silly.

So I was like.

He started to guide me.

I was like, can I at least get my credit card?

I'm not gonna leave my credit card.

He goes, oh, yeah, okay.

I mean, he was as cool as he could have been about it, but it was.

I was like, what the f?

What a psycho.

Yeah, she's a little nutty.

I hope someone pissed in her cheerios.

Yeah, and her beer.

Yeah, she's probably already drinking shitty beer anyway, so.

Yeah, she's probably pregnant and barefoot on our fifth.

I wonder if she has kids.

I wish that upon her.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I purposely don't stay in touch.

Clearly.

Clearly you didn't call her to begin with.

Right?

Checks out, so.

Yeah, I don't know.

You ever been kicked out of anything?

Yeah, the downtown Disney, ESPN zone.

I threw up, as neat as can be, into a pint glass.

Like, no splash.

No, you kept it contained.

Impressive.

Like, right into the.

Nick was just.

I mean, Nick was kind.

I don't think he was embarrassed, but he was proud of me.

He was impressed that I was able.

I mean, no mess, no nothing.

And they just push it to the side of the table.

I mean, given the options of splattering the entire table or keeping it in a nice little

pint glass.

Job well done.

Yeah.

Best potential outcome.

And then they weekend at Bernie's took pictures of me at the table as I was passed out.

And then they're like, hey, you gotta go.

And Nick was like, no, no, my wife's just really tired.

Same thing.

No, no.

She walked all day at Disneyland.

That's what he said.

And I think they saw the throw up in the glass, and they were like, you gotta take your

wife out of here, sir.

We see your protein shake over there.

Oh, I was done.

I mean, I forgot about that.

I feel like he carried me into, like, I don't even know how he got me to the hotel.

Did he sweep?

It probably looked like date rape, to be honest.

He's probably, like, carrying my passed out body in his arms.

Carrying you out of a bar so bad.

But he missed dinner that night.

He didn't even get to eat.

Like, what a grand champion Nick is.

What a guy.

Shout out.

I forgot.

That's such a good story.

Is it, though?

I just love that you were able to keep it in the pint glass.

No.

No splatter, no nothing.

Sometimes I impress myself, even on the smallest things.

Gotta have goals.

Yes.

At least it wasn't in bed.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Again, another story for another time.

All right, anybody else have any embarrassing stories or should we get up on out of here?

We should get up on out of here and continue the party somewhere else.

We got a couple more breweries to hit today, Vanessa.

Let's do it.

We're doing institution integrin and then our house float.

We gotta.

We gotta get the hell out of.

Here so we can go 100 degrees out.

Yeah.

So.

All right, well, I'm gonna hit some music so we can get the fuck out of here.

I'm gonna say normally.

Say hi, Vanessa.

Bye, Vanessa.

Follow us on the socials at crappy Republic, at icecold, beer underscores, and of course,

the real beer vixen with a bunch of underscores as well.

Crappier poet.com.

i think that's everything, Vanessa.

Thanks for flying all the way out here just to do the show.

I really appreciate.

Love y'all.

Flex has a new bar to hit there.

Dang.

Yeah, he might show up every week, but he doesn't fly out here to do the show, so.

Come on, flex.

Step it up.

All right, I think that's everything.

I hope everyone is staying very well hydrated.

And on that note, good night, everybody.
