1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,640 Why did the hipster burn his mouth? Because he drank the coffee 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:04,840 before it was cool. Oh. 3 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,880 Welcome in everybody. It's the Craft Beer Republic. 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,920 Thanks for drinking. Thanks for joining. 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,320 I am Greg and I am being joined by the Buffest Trailmix eater in 6 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,360 the Midwest. That's Flex. What's up, big fella? 7 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,960 I don't love all trailmix. Let me just tell you. 8 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,400 It's not all created equally. It is. No it's not. 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,000 It is just this spicy trail mix from target. It's amazing. 10 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,320 I like the sweet and salty. Um. I don't I don't like the daddy. 11 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,840 All the spice. Yeah, I love spicy, but trail mix. 12 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,680 I want M&Ms in my trail mix. Daddy want the spice? 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880 It's a waste of calories. All right, well, and over there, 14 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,740 not wasting calories is the sudsy sister Erica. 15 00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:04,540 What's happening? Hey, guys. Yeah, I don't like chocolate, though, 16 00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:07,220 so that's like a weird thing, I know. Like, not at all. 17 00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:09,540 If there's nuts in it. Because I like me. 18 00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:11,740 A good nut in my chocolate. Yeah, you do. 19 00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:16,620 I setting us up for that one. Right. But no, I'm not a huge fan of 20 00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:19,100 plain chocolate. I like my chocolate with caramel. 21 00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:23,260 Right. Oh, that's good too. Other than a good M&M in my trail 22 00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:26,540 mix, there's. No. Such thing. As a good. Yes there is. 23 00:01:26,580 --> 00:01:30,580 I only like dark chocolate. Oh, how about peanut butter M&Ms? 24 00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:34,780 Peanut M&Ms? Peanut butter M&Ms? I'd rather have a Reese's or a 25 00:01:34,820 --> 00:01:37,180 Reese's Pieces. Okay. All right, well, you know, 26 00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:39,740 let's not start talking about candy. Then he's gonna start talking 27 00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:42,580 about those little toes that he likes to eat. What are they? 28 00:01:42,620 --> 00:01:47,060 Circus peanuts. Toes. Oh, circus peanuts. Peanuts. Oh, me. 29 00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:52,100 Yeah, circus. Not a candy show, so. Oh, it's. It's orange styrofoam. 30 00:01:52,420 --> 00:01:55,260 Y'all are lucky it's not a candy show because y'all get schooled. 31 00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:00,040 On circus peanuts, I think. Circus peanuts. Hell, yeah. 32 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,200 Yeah, yeah. Banana runts. Yeah. You would be. 33 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,120 Like, who doesn't like banana runts? Everyone. Banana taffy? Yeah. 34 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,200 Banana runts is awful. You guys are fucking weird. Big dick. 35 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,480 Nick is a huge fan of banana runts. He has an entire candy machine in his 36 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,000 house with only banana runs in it. I bet he would love a circus. 37 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,720 Peanut. We should ask him. Oh, awful. All right. 38 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,200 Can we can we all agree on peach rings? And and and. 39 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,600 I'll put those on necklaces sometimes. Greg. Come on. 40 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:34,360 I'm not against a peach ring. This is okay. 41 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,160 No, I just wanted to agree on something. 42 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,120 So we can we can go into the show on a on a good level. Yeah. 43 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,840 And we can all we're all connecting on a level here. That's peach rings. 44 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,240 Feels good. Feels. Yeah. Let's. Yeah. Let's get it peach ring style. 45 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,840 Yeah. Let's get it on. Even that weird white side. 46 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,800 The weird texture. Like what? Yeah, yeah. 47 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,490 Nobody even know what that is. No, not needed, but still tasty. 48 00:02:57,530 --> 00:03:00,090 Super weird, but super weird. We'll take. It. 49 00:03:00,130 --> 00:03:02,490 Because, you know, peaches aren't really white, 50 00:03:03,170 --> 00:03:05,570 so I don't know where that came from. Yeah, and they're not, like, 51 00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:09,330 rough textured. And they. That was like the side of the gummy 52 00:03:09,330 --> 00:03:13,210 that didn't like, chew very well. Mhm. Yeah. It was just bizarre. 53 00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:16,010 They had a glue two gummies together. I feel like more effort than was 54 00:03:16,010 --> 00:03:18,250 needed. Yeah. Except they used way more glue 55 00:03:18,290 --> 00:03:23,530 than gummy. You know. You can get like a I don't know I 56 00:03:23,530 --> 00:03:27,050 think it's a £10 bag or something of those things at WinCo. 57 00:03:27,850 --> 00:03:32,370 Oh, Jim. Jim right there. It's gonna say it's on the bottom 58 00:03:32,370 --> 00:03:36,970 shelf for like, ten bucks. Oh, yeah. Can you call in again, please? 59 00:03:37,170 --> 00:03:40,610 Yeah. Jim. We miss you, buddy. Tell us how much he hates that 60 00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:43,290 fucking store. Yeah, you can load up a styrofoam 61 00:03:43,290 --> 00:03:46,530 cooler and. Yeah, ten bucks for £10. I mean, 62 00:03:46,570 --> 00:03:49,130 that's a cheap way to diabetes. That's a lot of peach rings. 63 00:03:49,130 --> 00:03:52,090 Whatever it is for. Probably too. Many. That's like level ten. 64 00:03:52,130 --> 00:03:57,550 Wilford Brimley, diabetes. You got some birdies. 65 00:03:58,310 --> 00:04:00,030 I guarantee you, that guy's dead by now. 66 00:04:00,590 --> 00:04:02,830 I think we've looked this up on the show, actually. 67 00:04:02,870 --> 00:04:06,030 And that he's definitely dead. Yeah, I mean, I would definitely 68 00:04:06,030 --> 00:04:08,550 put money on a definite death here. I'll look this up. 69 00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:09,950 In the meantime, I'll say follow us on the 70 00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:13,430 socials at Craft Beer Republic. @Flex_me_a_beer and discord between, 71 00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:16,710 of course, @Neck_nosh_llc LLC and of course @Neck_nosh_llc. 72 00:04:16,790 --> 00:04:21,750 Com for all your pretzel goodness.

Then maybe it is. Sugarfoot. 77 00:04:40,470 --> 00:04:43,430 You guys want to take a guess at how old he was when he died? 78 00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:47,950 I'm gonna guess, uh, like 76. I don't even know who that is. 79 00:04:47,950 --> 00:04:50,030 Guys, you. Don't know who Wilford Brimley is? 80 00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:53,530 He was the oatmeal guy and also did the commercials for diabetes. 81 00:04:53,570 --> 00:04:57,770 Yeah. Hi, I'm Wilford Brimley.

Yeah. 85 00:05:09,090 --> 00:05:13,010 All right. That's not ringing a bell. That's okay though. 86 00:05:13,050 --> 00:05:16,570 Can we just get on the age?

No way am I gonna make it to 85. 89 00:05:24,610 --> 00:05:26,650 I hope I don't. And I don't think I'm going to 90 00:05:26,650 --> 00:05:29,810 have diabetes either. Right? Still not gonna make it that long. 91 00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:32,890 I'm telling you, it's got to be the key to life, right?

Like it's a tail, I don't know. 132 00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:43,550 On the schnoz. Uh oh. It's like a tropical fruit salad 133 00:08:43,550 --> 00:08:49,720 over here. Pineapple. Mango. Peach. Like my Saturday night toss. 134 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,560 Tropical salad. That's called a fruit cup. 135 00:08:53,560 --> 00:09:00,000 And your wife doesn't appreciate it. Flex.

The tropical fruit cup in my mouth. 138 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,080 Um, a lot of pineapple, a lot of citrus, a lot of 139 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,080 pithiness from the citrus as well. I'm really picking up on some 140 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,040 some pithy bitterness. I do enjoy some pith. Yeah. 141 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:25,280 Uh, not at all detectable. 7%. Just real easy to drink. Real smooth. 142 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,840 It doesn't have necessarily the fluffy, oaty mouthfeel you might 143 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,600 expect out of that description, but it does drink real easily. 144 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,560 Kind of finishes pretty dry. Um, would definitely drink again. 145 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,920 Heck yeah. So we're talking. 437. Um, that might be generous, 146 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,100 but it's definitely that's crazy. Hi. Yeah, it's. 147 00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,940 Definitely at least a four, though. You know, I'd give it a four, four, 148 00:09:49,980 --> 00:09:53,460 two, five somewhere in that range. It's a great beer. That's high. 37. 149 00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:55,900 Yeah, I know, I'm a stingy bastard. This is. 150 00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:59,580 This is really, really tasty. So I'm enjoying it. Outstanding. 151 00:09:59,580 --> 00:10:03,620 Fantastic. Yeah. Uh, you guys, first of all, I saw a 152 00:10:03,620 --> 00:10:07,700 list. And I know Flex loves lists. Love lists? 153 00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:12,060 Is it, uh, spicy trail mix list? Yeah. Top ten. Spicy trail mix. 154 00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:17,820 Oh, that would get me so rocked up. Number one target. Oh. 155 00:10:21,180 --> 00:10:24,740 No, it was the best na beers in the country. 156 00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:30,940 Oh, man, that's fucking garbage. That's an anticlimactic. Damn it. 157 00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:33,660 So I never even grabbed the link. I just put it there to make fun. 158 00:10:33,660 --> 00:10:37,540 Of. Him. Oh, okay. We're not gonna talk about that. 159 00:10:37,540 --> 00:10:41,180 But I did get a listener email. So angry for a second. 160 00:10:41,820 --> 00:10:45,120 Hey, you do get angry at lists. A listener email. Yeah. 161 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,320 Got a listener email the other day. Flex. 162 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,000 Remember, I don't know, it was probably like 3 or 4 163 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,840 episodes ago. Erica. Maybe you listened to this one. 164 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,040 We were talking about bingo at breweries. Oh that's okay. 165 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,960 I think okay, that's where I this thought in my head came from. 166 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,400 What was the podcast? Okay. Keep talking and I'll tell you why. 167 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,080 So we were talking about bingo, and I was saying that out in my 168 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,360 close vicinity, breweries that have introduced bingo 169 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,240 seems like a desperation call. Doesn't seem like things are 170 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,880 going well. They're they're grasping at straws, 171 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,640 that kind of thing. Okay, well, Moorpark J sent in an 172 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,160 email and he said, I wonder if this is what you're talking about. 173 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,240 We're here on a Wednesday night and this place is popping. 174 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,160 We were just in the neighborhood. It seems popular but really 175 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,560 kills the socializing. And he sent me a picture along 176 00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:37,000 with it. He's at 818 brewing out here in, 177 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,720 uh, in the valley we know and love. And they have. Fantastico. 178 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,980 Oh, yeah. I always think of, uh. Yeah. Chew 818. The homie Chew. 179 00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:48,260 And so they're doing bingo. He did not go for the bingo. 180 00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:50,620 Happened to be bingo. Uh, but he said it was. 181 00:11:50,620 --> 00:11:54,980 It was slammed. So. Yeah. Hey, maybe I'm wrong, but that 182 00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:59,780 was an interesting take, though. It kills the socializing. So, no. 183 00:11:59,780 --> 00:12:01,900 No talking or, you know, because you're you're focusing on 184 00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:04,180 the game, which I totally would. I feel like you're. 185 00:12:04,260 --> 00:12:08,260 Um, that's how trivia is, too. If you ever I know I hate to bring 186 00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:13,500 it up, Greg, because you're a trivia champion. Yeah. But 2025. 187 00:12:13,540 --> 00:12:18,380 Best of the best winning procedural. If you've ever been out to a a 188 00:12:18,380 --> 00:12:22,780 bar or a brewery when you're not participating in trivia and you 189 00:12:22,780 --> 00:12:27,100 just so happen to be there on trivia night. It's loud. 190 00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:30,420 All the music in between questions is super fucking loud. 191 00:12:30,780 --> 00:12:34,580 Oh, yeah. Um, and it gets. And you feel like an outsider a 192 00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:36,420 little bit, right? Yeah, I kind of feel. 193 00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:39,020 And everybody there seems like regulars. 194 00:12:39,060 --> 00:12:42,960 Like, usually when you go to a trivia night. Yeah. Or maybe a bingo night. 195 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,760 I don't know if they have. Bingo. Yeah. 196 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,720 Um, yeah, that you're almost just kind of like. Wow. This is. 197 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,480 I feel weird. Yeah, I can see that. I've been on multiple ends of 198 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,040 the trivia equation. Obviously, we are the 2025 winning 199 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,200 best of the best procedural. Oh, really? Yeah. 200 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,280 I don't know if you guys have heard this. 201 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,880 Yeah, you should have brought that up. I'm proud of you. You. 202 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,920 That's super cool, though. Boast about it all you want. 203 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,560 But in addition to that, I've been to breweries where, 204 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,000 like, I talked about this when I was at Black Hammer up in San 205 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,000 Francisco one time, I walked in. Happened to be trivia night. 206 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,360 It's not why I was there. I was by myself and the guy was 207 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,400 super, like, encouraging, like, hey, join trivia. 208 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,240 And I was like, I'm by myself. It's fine. 209 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,880 I'm a trivia champion back home. I don't want to embarrass myself, 210 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,480 you know? And I just joined how bad could 211 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,320 it be? And I was like, ah, 212 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,280 you're right, I'll join. And if I want to leave early, 213 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,440 I know I'm not gonna win because I'm by myself. 214 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,120 And Deb's the star of the team, so I will, uh, I'll play along. 215 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,640 So I did, and I did. Pretty. Not bad. Surprisingly. Or maybe. 216 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:40,370 Maybe that's what it's a That's a bad sign for everybody else in 217 00:13:40,410 --> 00:13:42,690 that trivia game. So, you know, that was fun. 218 00:13:42,690 --> 00:13:45,770 I've also been to breweries where, you know, you get there late or 219 00:13:45,770 --> 00:13:47,530 they're just doing trivia. You don't feel like playing. 220 00:13:47,530 --> 00:13:49,530 It doesn't bother me, really. It's not like, oh my God, 221 00:13:49,530 --> 00:13:51,330 they're playing trivia. I wish they'd shut the fuck up. 222 00:13:51,370 --> 00:13:55,490 No, and I will agree to you on that. Yeah. 223 00:13:55,810 --> 00:13:58,090 In fact, my one complaint while doing trivia. 224 00:13:58,570 --> 00:14:00,890 Sorry, Brit, because we all know I play at Knotty Pine. 225 00:14:01,210 --> 00:14:04,970 Uh, she keeps the music playing during trivia, and I'm like, oh, 226 00:14:05,010 --> 00:14:06,770 can you turn that down? I missed the question. 227 00:14:07,210 --> 00:14:10,690 Oh, that would be distracting. Yeah. And then she'll stop the music 228 00:14:10,690 --> 00:14:13,970 when he does the music round, obviously, because boy, 229 00:14:13,970 --> 00:14:16,210 would that be a clusterfuck. But it's like, hey, 230 00:14:16,210 --> 00:14:19,370 can we can we shut the fuck up? We shut the fuck up. Thank you. 231 00:14:19,410 --> 00:14:25,090 Okay, so speaking of music, so I was invited to music bingo and in my 232 00:14:25,090 --> 00:14:28,210 head, and that was about a week ago. I was like, who was talking 233 00:14:28,210 --> 00:14:31,490 about brewery bingo being like, kind of the downfall, 234 00:14:31,530 --> 00:14:34,290 like the desperate reach. And now that you brought it up, 235 00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:38,430 now I remember it was on podcast, but a gal that I know said Super fun. 236 00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:41,270 People just have the best time with. And I thought, you know, 237 00:14:41,310 --> 00:14:44,150 that's pretty cool. So I looked at the breweries, um, 238 00:14:44,190 --> 00:14:47,110 Instagram to kind of see and the videos they have of it, they did 239 00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:49,590 a good job because it looks like everyone is having such a good ass 240 00:14:49,630 --> 00:14:53,670 time because you hear the song play, you don't have to know it because, 241 00:14:54,590 --> 00:14:56,630 you know, if other people know it, you're gonna cross it off on 242 00:14:56,630 --> 00:14:58,230 your bingo card, right? They blast the song. 243 00:14:58,230 --> 00:15:01,630 It's like, oh, okay, whatever, bye bye bye, NSYNC or whatever. 244 00:15:01,910 --> 00:15:05,190 Um, but it's just keeps, I don't know, something random, but. 245 00:15:05,230 --> 00:15:08,230 It's gonna be me as I think it's my favorite. It's gonna be. Me. 246 00:15:08,350 --> 00:15:13,310 It's gonna be me. Um, yeah. So I thought that sounded really fun, 247 00:15:13,310 --> 00:15:15,430 to be honest with you. I was like, I would rather do 248 00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:19,670 that than just regular bingo or. Bingo over regular bingo. 249 00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:22,230 Sounds super fun. Add some sort of theming to it 250 00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:24,270 or something, right? Yeah, I think I would really 251 00:15:24,270 --> 00:15:26,430 like that. Yeah. And I don't even mean to poo poo 252 00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:30,070 on bingo by itself. Like the wife. Whenever we go to Vegas, 253 00:15:30,070 --> 00:15:33,710 all she wants to do is go play bingo. That's so 80 years old of her. 254 00:15:34,070 --> 00:15:36,770 I know. Yeah, she's got her AARP card 255 00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:40,250 out and everything. Dang. But I just have noticed that the 256 00:15:40,250 --> 00:15:44,810 breweries around us that do bingo tend to not, or at least seemingly 257 00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:48,130 are not doing well, at least in the past. Maybe I'm wrong. 258 00:15:48,130 --> 00:15:51,130 Maybe it's catching on and now it's the new hot thing, and trivia is 259 00:15:51,130 --> 00:15:54,650 gonna go away and bingo will be it. Or, you know, whatever. 260 00:15:54,690 --> 00:15:57,970 It'll be the second coming of trivia. I don't fucking know. 261 00:15:58,010 --> 00:16:01,770 No, just that was my music. Bingo. Sounds fun and sounds like it 262 00:16:02,330 --> 00:16:06,890 would garner, like, some pretty large group sing alongs, depending 263 00:16:06,890 --> 00:16:09,410 on the song, right? Exactly. That's what the videos are, 264 00:16:09,450 --> 00:16:13,410 is everybody's just guys. Gals are just busting singing 265 00:16:13,410 --> 00:16:16,930 and just dancing around. I thought, that looks like my type. 266 00:16:16,930 --> 00:16:19,810 Of. Bingo, right? Yeah, Flex is quite the singer. 267 00:16:20,130 --> 00:16:25,610 I'm not great, but give me. Like some two out of three ain't bad. 268 00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:30,010 Or like, um. What else? What else has he busted out on here? 269 00:16:30,010 --> 00:16:33,290 Some meatloaf. I've just done weird things I do. 270 00:16:33,330 --> 00:16:36,310 I do weird things. It's got to be the right moment. 271 00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:40,310 It would be called I do weird things. Okay. 272 00:16:40,350 --> 00:16:42,830 I can get him to sing some, like, wrestling entrance music 273 00:16:42,830 --> 00:16:46,150 every now and then. You need to be like Portland, 274 00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:48,790 where we're from. Portland, Oregon's motto is Keep 275 00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:50,630 Portland weird. If you go to Portland. 276 00:16:51,390 --> 00:16:55,550 So, um, it's like, keep Flex weird. Would you say you heard never to 277 00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:57,630 go there? Yeah, I heard it's rough in Portland. 278 00:16:57,790 --> 00:17:02,150 Um, really? I've been to Portland. Yeah, yeah, it just depends. 279 00:17:02,910 --> 00:17:06,030 Yeah, there's. There's lots of gang. Activity in Portland. 280 00:17:06,070 --> 00:17:09,070 Oh, really? Yeah. Interesting. That's where I went to college. 281 00:17:09,110 --> 00:17:11,990 I, I came out okay. And, um. I stayed downtown. 282 00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:15,230 I didn't have any issues. And. Yeah, I had a friend that lived or a 283 00:17:15,230 --> 00:17:17,750 friend that lived there for a while, and, like, she drove us around 284 00:17:17,750 --> 00:17:20,430 and we went all over. It was just a show about gangs 285 00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:23,910 on a on a channel on cable. I guess it depends on where you go, 286 00:17:23,950 --> 00:17:26,550 like any big city. But Portland has some really cool, 287 00:17:26,590 --> 00:17:30,910 like food and beer culture and do like food and beer culture and stuff. 288 00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:33,370 Yeah. Yeah, but keep Portland weird. It's a weird ass place, and it 289 00:17:33,370 --> 00:17:35,770 makes me think of keep Flex weird. That's why I was going. 290 00:17:35,770 --> 00:17:38,090 There's bumper stickers everywhere. Keep pouring a good beer name. 291 00:17:38,090 --> 00:17:43,650 Keep Flex weird. Yeah, I like it. Okay. Keep Flex buff. Wow. 292 00:17:43,690 --> 00:17:47,530 Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to. Yeah. Working on it. It's hard. 293 00:17:47,930 --> 00:17:53,210 Yeah, especially with all that trail mix. I love me some trail mix. 294 00:17:53,730 --> 00:17:56,450 So to wrap it all up, I don't know, maybe I was wrong about bingo. 295 00:17:56,610 --> 00:17:59,850 I don't know. We'll see. Hope. Hopefully. 296 00:17:59,850 --> 00:18:03,210 For the brewery's sake, I don't know. Yeah, exactly. 297 00:18:03,250 --> 00:18:05,930 Unless they saw it. Right? No, it was 818 brewing, 298 00:18:05,930 --> 00:18:08,530 so I'm glad to see that they're doing well. So that's that's good. 299 00:18:08,690 --> 00:18:11,370 Hopefully they're running out of Fantastico or something. 300 00:18:11,850 --> 00:18:15,810 Two kegs left. Two kegs left. Everybody left. Get your. By now. 301 00:18:15,810 --> 00:18:22,090 Could be one. Who knows? Hopefully. Yeah. Hail Mary. Come with me. 302 00:18:22,490 --> 00:18:26,130 Anyways, um. What else? Erica. Anything going on over there? 303 00:18:26,410 --> 00:18:30,570 Any good research? Any good drinking? So the last brewery I went to 304 00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:33,510 that was kind of research. He was King Kong brewing with my 305 00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:35,670 volleyball team. That's fucking cool sounding 306 00:18:35,710 --> 00:18:38,670 King Kong. Yeah. Um, it's in Sacramento, which is, 307 00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:40,510 you know, about 40 minutes from where I live now. 308 00:18:40,510 --> 00:18:44,870 But, um, yeah, after our game, we went and, uh, had some beers. 309 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:49,270 So I have a girlfriend that we we both played volleyball in high 310 00:18:49,270 --> 00:18:51,830 school, so maybe six months ago, we're like, hey, yeah, 311 00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:54,390 we need to join a team sometime. And for my birthday, 312 00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:55,990 she got me a volleyball. So we're like, 313 00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:59,110 we're gonna make this happen. Well, someone invited her to join 314 00:18:59,110 --> 00:19:02,950 a team, so then she invited me, and I haven't played in 20 years, 315 00:19:03,670 --> 00:19:06,510 so. Yeah, I was a middle blocker. I was pretty good at volleyball, 316 00:19:06,510 --> 00:19:10,230 but it's been 20 years, so I'm like, okay. 317 00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:13,150 So she said, yeah, it's a beginner team. It's cool. 318 00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:18,230 Okay, I can do a beginner team. And then she goes, it's co-ed, 319 00:19:18,750 --> 00:19:20,990 okay, you know, co-ed. And then she said, 320 00:19:20,990 --> 00:19:25,070 it's intermediate. Okay. Well this is getting a little harder, 321 00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:27,910 you know, and then it's um, it's actually getting harder. 322 00:19:27,950 --> 00:19:32,320 It's getting right. Let's Listen to this. Um. Coed. 323 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,800 So coed. You know, they they have the foot, 324 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,080 a foot higher nets than what I played volleyball on, 325 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,440 because they bring it down a foot for the guys and up for the gals. 326 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,400 And then, um, it's like an LGBT affirming league. 327 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,360 Like for the guys and up for the gals. What? 328 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,720 You said, they bring it down for the guys, but up for the girls. Yeah. 329 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,840 So we it's a foot higher than what we would play on as as women, 330 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,360 but it's lower a foot lower than what the guys would play on. 331 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:02,160 It's kind of in the middle. Okay. Oh, I got it. Sorry. 332 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,600 Got it, got it. So. So in high school, your net was 333 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,280 two feet lower than the guys net. It was exactly. Okay. 334 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,600 And now it's in the middle. Yeah. Now it's in the middle. Got it. 335 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,600 All right. I'm tracking. Sorry. Should be speaking the language. 336 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,800 I don't know anything about volleyball. Right, right. Okay. 337 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,160 So, um. Yeah, it's like this volleyball 338 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,960 out loud league. So it's for, you know, 339 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,360 LGBT+ and like friends. And I thought, you know, cool. 340 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,540 So there's guys but like maybe, maybe they won't be hitting it 341 00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:34,500 that hard, right? Like it'll be okay. Like I forgot. 342 00:20:34,540 --> 00:20:37,140 Like, gay fit is like a super thing, right? 343 00:20:37,180 --> 00:20:41,060 So, dude, this is this is like, way out of my league. 344 00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:46,300 So I show up and my team is all, like, in their 20s and early 30s. 345 00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:48,700 Here we go. And, um, except for my friend 346 00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:52,180 who's like, mid 30s, but still quite a bit younger than me. 347 00:20:52,580 --> 00:20:54,620 We're called the Glitter Hitters, which is awesome. 348 00:20:54,940 --> 00:20:57,940 We wear like the eye blocks that like under your eyes, 349 00:20:57,980 --> 00:21:01,220 like football players, but they're glitter and intimidate. 350 00:21:01,220 --> 00:21:05,580 People. Right? Yeah. Heck yeah. So one of the first games the team 351 00:21:05,580 --> 00:21:09,380 we played against, there was a guy that was much older than everyone on 352 00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:14,020 that team and like, aim for him. You gotta hit the ball to that dude. 353 00:21:14,060 --> 00:21:16,740 You know, he's the weak link. Like, oh, okay. 354 00:21:16,780 --> 00:21:19,260 Give the old man a black eye. Give him. Yeah, exactly. 355 00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:21,460 I'm like, oh, that's kind of mean. But all right, I get it. 356 00:21:21,460 --> 00:21:24,300 It's a strategy. And then I'm standing at the net 357 00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:26,860 and I look back at my team and I look at me and I'm like, 358 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:34,160 I'm that person on my team. I'm the old man for us, right? 359 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:38,600 Like they are looking at aim for her. She's the middle aged girl. 360 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,240 Like, just I don't know. It's so embarrassing. But, um. 361 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,640 Yeah. Made it through. It was actually a pretty decent 362 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,520 season, but, um, we started strong, and then, you know, Pound Town really 363 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,480 got us. Pound town. Name of a team. Yeah. Pound town. Oh, okay. Yeah. 364 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,240 All dudes just wailing on the ball the whole game. So fun though. 365 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:04,120 Um, so we would go have beers after that. Um, every once in a while. 366 00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:08,600 So season's over, and they have another season starting in three 367 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,640 weeks, so I'll be playing again. So. All right, so it wasn't so bad. 368 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,600 You're not signing back up. I'm a glutton for punishment. 369 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,800 So for Valentine's Day, Sterling got me these as a joke. 370 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,720 We celebrated a little later than usual. 371 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,400 A deck of, like, volleyball practice cards. 372 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,700 Because I still am struggling. So it's like, line up some toilet 373 00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:31,020 paper rolls and run through them and like, just different things. 374 00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:34,860 Sounds ridiculous. I'm actually doing it because, hey, 375 00:22:34,860 --> 00:22:38,180 why not? I want to get better. You don't jump. Okay. 376 00:22:38,420 --> 00:22:41,980 PSA to all the people out there, when you're in your 40s, you don't 377 00:22:41,980 --> 00:22:45,300 jump. Like, why do you jump? What's your reason for jumping? 378 00:22:46,060 --> 00:22:48,740 So I used to jump and hit the ball and now I'm like, 379 00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:52,980 I forgot how to jump. So yeah, I play basketball every 380 00:22:52,980 --> 00:22:55,500 now with my buddy. Like we've started recently 381 00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:57,860 playing basketball again. Just, you know, one on one shit 382 00:22:58,180 --> 00:23:02,020 and you don't realize how much you don't jump anymore. Oh, yeah. 383 00:23:02,340 --> 00:23:06,100 And it gets to the point where, like, I can't jump when we first start, 384 00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:08,820 we need to sit there and warm up for like, an hour, right? 385 00:23:08,860 --> 00:23:11,300 You know, we're just shooting the shit, throwing up threes, 386 00:23:11,340 --> 00:23:14,020 you know, that kind of thing. And then he'll go, are you ready to 387 00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:17,140 play? And I'm like, yeah, I think so. I'll go do a fucking lap around the 388 00:23:17,140 --> 00:23:19,780 court because my knees are still not warmed up yet from jumping. 389 00:23:19,820 --> 00:23:23,140 Like it? Yeah. It really takes some time to get 390 00:23:23,140 --> 00:23:26,920 the old knees warmed up. It is not, it is not. We got. 391 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,680 No practice. We get no practices, no warm up, 392 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,360 nothing. You just show up and you play. 393 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,080 I'd have to get there early and just do laps around the building 394 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,200 or something. Yeah, it's like doing the high knees. 395 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,360 Yeah, yeah. Just so I. Started stretching the last time 396 00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:42,880 we played basketball. And he's like, you all right, man? 397 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,040 I was like, yeah, I don't know. It feels like a thing I should be 398 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:51,040 doing. Maybe they'll start working. I don't know. The right thing to do. 399 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,160 I just can't get over this. King Kong Brewing by the way. Okay. 400 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,120 Sorry. So, King Kong Brewing. I feel like they could really 401 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,560 hit it off if they just sold these little gorillas. 402 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,880 That would clip on to the top of a beer can glass. Cute. 403 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:11,120 Like a little garnish. Yeah. That's amazing. They don't. 404 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,640 They need to do that. Idiots. Jeez. They're definitely missing out 405 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,440 on a market there. But it is. It's a cool name. 406 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,920 And, um, they're pretty cool folks. I've been set up next to them at 407 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,620 Brew Fest before and stuff and met. Um, yeah, 408 00:24:24,660 --> 00:24:27,780 some other people and I like them. But we went out to King Kong and 409 00:24:27,820 --> 00:24:32,220 their beers are pretty, pretty solid. And, uh, they do have the big 410 00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:36,180 gorilla on the can. And. Yeah, so it was kind of a fun 411 00:24:36,860 --> 00:24:40,060 talking about the game. That is chilling. Yeah. 412 00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:45,100 Are you drinking King Kong today? I'm not drinking King Kong. No. 413 00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:47,300 All right, well, let's find out what you're drinking anyways. 414 00:24:47,860 --> 00:24:53,460 Okay. Sweet transition. Greg. Yeah. Good job. 415 00:24:53,460 --> 00:24:57,460 Greg, the king of transitions. That was so smooth. 416 00:24:57,460 --> 00:25:03,860 Just like this beer. Um, this beer is from Brewery X, 417 00:25:04,060 --> 00:25:07,780 which I think is Southern California. Anaheim. Anaheim. Okay. 418 00:25:08,020 --> 00:25:12,740 Um, and it's called Slap and tickle. Oh, yeah. I've heard. This one. 419 00:25:13,260 --> 00:25:16,260 It's got like kind of that S&M kind of thing going on there. 420 00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:20,500 Little feather after the. So it's like a strip club neon sign. 421 00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:22,990 Insane. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, like the Pink Pony. 422 00:25:23,390 --> 00:25:26,910 Which, okay, it's kind of like a funny name, but the way that I 423 00:25:26,950 --> 00:25:30,870 got it was kind of random. So I was returning a keg to 424 00:25:30,910 --> 00:25:34,870 Bevmo and gonna swap it out. I'm talking to the guy at the 425 00:25:34,870 --> 00:25:37,670 checkout who's probably, like, ten years older than me, and he's, like, 426 00:25:37,710 --> 00:25:40,950 seemed like he was flirting with me. And I'm like, this is this is weird. 427 00:25:41,230 --> 00:25:43,070 Um, and then he's like, what beers do you like? 428 00:25:43,110 --> 00:25:45,030 I'm like, oh, this and that. And he's like, you know, 429 00:25:45,470 --> 00:25:49,030 I've really been enjoying Slap and Tickle. And I was like, what? 430 00:25:49,910 --> 00:25:53,270 It's just a weird name. To. Throw out there. 431 00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:56,710 And he was dead serious. Like, I don't know, it was just 432 00:25:56,710 --> 00:25:59,750 so out of all the beers to say, I've been really enjoying Slap 433 00:25:59,750 --> 00:26:04,070 and Tickle and I'm like, okay. And he's like, yeah, 434 00:26:04,110 --> 00:26:07,670 from Brewery X, it's on aisle nine. You should grab it. 435 00:26:07,710 --> 00:26:11,030 I was like, so I looked it up and it had a decent review. 436 00:26:11,030 --> 00:26:13,790 So I grabbed some slap and tickle and I don't know if it was a setup, 437 00:26:13,790 --> 00:26:16,910 but I think he was too dorky to get like the way he said it, I was like, 438 00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:21,610 you've been enjoying slap and tickle. Okay. Are you the slap or the tickle? 439 00:26:22,530 --> 00:26:24,890 Neither. Neither. But slap and tickle. 440 00:26:24,890 --> 00:26:26,490 Let me tell you a little bit about this thing. 441 00:26:26,730 --> 00:26:35,810 It is an American IPA 6.7 Abvs 40 IBUs. It's got 8000 check ins. 442 00:26:35,930 --> 00:26:39,650 Wow. And 3.7. Yeah, right. That's a lot. 3.79. 443 00:26:39,650 --> 00:26:45,050 So it's pretty solid on untapped. And there's really no description. 444 00:26:45,610 --> 00:26:49,050 What to you. Yeah exactly. It says hoppy smooth tropical, 445 00:26:49,210 --> 00:26:52,410 grapefruity and herbal. That's slightly better than a 446 00:26:52,410 --> 00:26:58,010 Scotch description. So it's beer. It's got hops. 447 00:26:58,250 --> 00:27:00,770 It had nice little bubbles on top at one point. 448 00:27:00,770 --> 00:27:03,770 And then as it dissipated, I don't know why some of them kind 449 00:27:03,810 --> 00:27:07,810 of do that, like lumpy looking when they dissipate. Um, yikes. 450 00:27:08,450 --> 00:27:11,530 But I know it was a little concerned about that, but it's, 451 00:27:11,730 --> 00:27:15,090 uh, kind of herbal y. Yeah. Mm. Did it say herbal? 452 00:27:15,130 --> 00:27:19,830 Yeah, that's what it is. It is now. Why are you digging in that? 453 00:27:19,830 --> 00:27:21,990 I'll tell you. I had a buddy who used. Or. 454 00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:26,670 I have a buddy who used to work for Brewery X and, uh, Otter and Nick and 455 00:27:26,670 --> 00:27:29,030 Nicole saw him when he was still working there at a beer festival, 456 00:27:29,030 --> 00:27:32,990 and he was pushing that beer, okay? And people would walk by and he'd 457 00:27:32,990 --> 00:27:36,950 just go, hey, can I get you a slap and a tickle? Right? There you go. 458 00:27:36,990 --> 00:27:41,630 What? It's a beer. That's a beer. This makes me think of beer fest. 459 00:27:42,830 --> 00:27:46,270 Beer fest? Oh, the movie. In the movie. Something like that. 460 00:27:46,270 --> 00:27:49,910 So I get melon from this, which is nothing in the description, 461 00:27:49,910 --> 00:27:52,230 but to me, it's like a really ripe melon. 462 00:27:52,230 --> 00:27:55,870 It's not like a really strong, strong hop character. 463 00:27:55,870 --> 00:27:59,830 Like the aroma smells like it would, but not so much on the taste. 464 00:28:00,550 --> 00:28:06,670 That beer sounds really crunchy. Yeah, that is not. That is not me. 465 00:28:06,670 --> 00:28:11,110 That is Flex eating target trail mix. I'm not. Eating anything. 466 00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:12,990 I'm glad you said something, because they're gonna be like. 467 00:28:13,030 --> 00:28:18,690 She's so disgusting. Why is. She a liar. Anyways. It's. It's good. 468 00:28:18,690 --> 00:28:23,090 It's solid. Yeah. Good. Yeah. I find Brewery X to overall just 469 00:28:23,090 --> 00:28:24,650 be fine. Sometimes they're good, 470 00:28:24,650 --> 00:28:27,690 sometimes they're not so good. Most often they're just fine. 471 00:28:27,970 --> 00:28:30,850 Yeah. Yeah. I have to address something you 472 00:28:30,850 --> 00:28:32,850 mentioned earlier when you're talking about your volleyball stuff. 473 00:28:32,890 --> 00:28:35,090 Oh, yeah. You said you went to King King 474 00:28:35,090 --> 00:28:37,170 Kong Brewing and it was about 40 minutes away. 475 00:28:37,170 --> 00:28:40,250 And I got real triggered by this because when we were up there, 476 00:28:40,250 --> 00:28:43,130 I think it was we saw you guys. It was like November of last year, 477 00:28:43,130 --> 00:28:45,250 I think maybe October. I think it was November. 478 00:28:45,650 --> 00:28:48,930 And we were up there seeing some of the wife's family and whatnot, 479 00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:52,650 and all of them, the family, the friends of the family, 480 00:28:52,690 --> 00:28:55,050 Sacramento area. They said, oh yeah, whatever it was 481 00:28:55,050 --> 00:28:58,570 we mentioned was 20 minutes away. According to them, 482 00:28:59,010 --> 00:29:02,690 absolutely full of shit. Yeah. Everything was 40 minutes away. 483 00:29:02,730 --> 00:29:04,290 No matter where you were going. It was. 484 00:29:04,450 --> 00:29:06,850 And you're like, yeah, this King Kong brewery is 40 minutes away. 485 00:29:06,850 --> 00:29:08,970 I was like, finally, finally. Someone. 486 00:29:09,010 --> 00:29:14,370 Fucking knows and is honest is 40 minutes away because nothing 487 00:29:14,370 --> 00:29:16,830 in Sacramento was 20 minutes away from anything. 488 00:29:17,030 --> 00:29:20,110 Everything was 40 minutes away. No matter where we went, 489 00:29:20,110 --> 00:29:23,950 it was a mile. It was 100 miles. It was 40 minutes away. 490 00:29:24,990 --> 00:29:28,230 I'm glad I kept it true for you. Thank you. I appreciate your. 491 00:29:28,270 --> 00:29:32,350 Honesty. It is. How long you been holding that in? 492 00:29:32,390 --> 00:29:36,230 Yeah. Well, since November. No, but people do that all the time. 493 00:29:36,230 --> 00:29:38,910 The gal that I commute to volleyball with, she'll be like, oh, it's 494 00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:44,870 20 minutes. I'm like, no, it's 40. Like, yeah, everything's 4040. Yeah. 495 00:29:44,910 --> 00:29:48,070 We were at the friend of the family's house for for dinner one night, 496 00:29:48,110 --> 00:29:50,230 like, oh, were you staying? We told him where our hotel was, 497 00:29:50,230 --> 00:29:52,950 like, oh yeah, 20 minutes away. It's like, no, we just drove here. 498 00:29:52,950 --> 00:29:56,950 It was fucking 40 minutes. Did you guys tell what a great 499 00:29:56,950 --> 00:30:02,350 time Greg had in Sacramento? Oh. Honestly, if it wasn't for Erica 500 00:30:02,350 --> 00:30:05,430 living up there, I don't think I'd ever need to go back. 501 00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:09,230 I think the motto is it's not that bad. 502 00:30:09,950 --> 00:30:14,120 Like you see it on hats and bags. Sacramento. It's not that bad. 503 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,320 But it's also just not that good. I mean yeah. 504 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,320 Sacramento proper, you know. Yeah. You gotta know the places. 505 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,360 But it certainly doesn't jump out at you. 506 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,800 It's not a place that is, you go to Old SAC and you do the old sac and. 507 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,520 You do it once and you've done it. Is it wrinkly? It's. It's sags. 508 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:40,360 A little hangs down to the left. Loose skin and. Yeah. It's an. 509 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,320 Old sac. Yeah. Gross. Like we were up there once for a 510 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,760 wedding. And because it was the weekend and 511 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,440 Sacramento is a government town, everything was closed. 512 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,800 There's nothing to do other than Old Town sac. Yeah. 513 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,200 I mean, I think that's probably changed a lot. It's got. 514 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,280 It's the farm to Fork capital. Anyway, I saw many a billboards. 515 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,240 I was like, what the fuck is this? We kill a cow, 516 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,280 we get it to your table. Like within minutes, probably 40, 517 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,540 40 minutes. It reminds me. Yeah, exactly. They gotta slaughter. 518 00:31:12,580 --> 00:31:15,500 Let's give him 45. Uh, it reminds me of Portlandia, 519 00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:17,740 where they went to the restaurant, and they're like, can you tell us 520 00:31:17,740 --> 00:31:20,700 where this chicken is from? Yes. Do you have the papers on this 521 00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:22,100 chicken? Days later, 522 00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:25,900 they finally come back with it. Yeah. So yeah, I just Sacramento like, 523 00:31:25,940 --> 00:31:28,180 you know, we went to some breweries and we had some, some great beer. 524 00:31:28,220 --> 00:31:31,220 You know, we went to shred with you guys and uh, and then we went to 525 00:31:31,260 --> 00:31:33,860 other breweries and it was fine. Like everywhere else you go, 526 00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:35,500 the beer is this and that. Just the city, 527 00:31:35,780 --> 00:31:39,020 Sacramento proper itself. It's just I don't I don't need it. 528 00:31:39,340 --> 00:31:41,380 Yeah, yeah. Just nothing you would think, for the 529 00:31:41,380 --> 00:31:45,860 capital city of California. Yeah. A little something. Something extra. 530 00:31:46,420 --> 00:31:49,380 Yeah, that's all right. Yeah. We like our little, 531 00:31:49,420 --> 00:31:52,500 little nook here, too. Yeah. Well, you guys got the the 532 00:31:52,540 --> 00:31:54,460 homestead out there. That's. That's different story. 533 00:31:54,460 --> 00:31:58,860 You're not in Sacramento? No, no. I told Vanessa when Vanessa came 534 00:31:58,860 --> 00:32:02,020 out here last year to California, I was like, if it wasn't for Erica, 535 00:32:02,020 --> 00:32:03,980 I'd tell you to avoid Sacramento altogether. 536 00:32:06,020 --> 00:32:07,940 We got a beer release coming up here pretty soon. 537 00:32:07,940 --> 00:32:09,940 I got a bunch of ladies probably coming out for us. 538 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,440 I mean, it's the best place to go. Don't not go. Let me tell you. 539 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,000 It'll all be on my end of town, though. 540 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,680 And there's some kind of cool you saw, like Loomis. 541 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,440 And I don't know, we'll find some kind of out of character, 542 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,400 some place, a little character. Take him to Old Sack Road. 543 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:31,800 Old sack road. We'll go a little Flex x gonna 544 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,960 take my beer to the old Flex road. Yeah, or old Sack Road. 545 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,280 Whatever it is. Not my road, old sack. 546 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,880 I'll ride til I can't no more. Exactly. Yeah. You will. 547 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:49,600 At least 40 minutes. No matter where it is. 548 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,320 No matter where. No matter where. Yeah. Oh. 549 00:32:54,480 --> 00:33:00,040 Second Sacramento proper. Not area. I don't know what proper means. Yeah. 550 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,720 The city of Sacramento, like Erica, is 40 minutes outside of Sacramento. 551 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,360 And, you know, it's fine. She lives in the hills and she's 552 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,180 got great views and has, you know, fucking farm in her backyard and 553 00:33:12,180 --> 00:33:16,620 goats and dogs and sheeps and snakes and all kinds. Jet and a jet, a jet. 554 00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:19,500 That's Mcdreamy's jet. What are we? I thought that was a secret. 555 00:33:19,780 --> 00:33:22,900 He doesn't share it. Sorry. Cut that part out. 556 00:33:24,380 --> 00:33:28,940 He's got to gas it up so we can get to Finland. Um. But happy people. 557 00:33:29,260 --> 00:33:32,100 Yeah, just like it. Sacramento is a weird choice for 558 00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:36,420 a capital for California to like so much of our commerce. 559 00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:39,180 Yeah, I know, but like, so much of our commerce is water driven. 560 00:33:39,180 --> 00:33:42,500 So, like, how about LA or San Francisco or even San Diego, 561 00:33:42,700 --> 00:33:48,300 right? Yeah. It's weird. Anywho, not a California show. 562 00:33:48,420 --> 00:33:52,620 It's certainly not. Yeah, sometimes. I mean, I'm sorry. 563 00:33:52,740 --> 00:33:55,460 I'm sorry. Wisconsin. Sometimes it is a little, 564 00:33:55,820 --> 00:33:59,380 little California. The Cisco Kid. And we're all right with it. 565 00:33:59,580 --> 00:34:02,940 That's okay. It's acceptance. Yeah. Okay. 566 00:34:04,180 --> 00:34:05,660 Uh, before we find out what Flex to drink, 567 00:34:05,660 --> 00:34:09,640 let's knock out a story or two. Sierra Nevada is canceling their 568 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:17,480 beer camp and Oktoberfest events. Wow. Well that's fine. 569 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,720 That's fine. Daniel. Beer camp. Adult day camp and Oktoberfest 570 00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:23,400 celebration that were slated for later this year in Chico. 571 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,480 Uh, the company pointed to rising production costs, declining ticket 572 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,280 sales and unpredictable weather as factors in the decision. 573 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,640 Per Sierra Nevada social profiles, they say, 574 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,000 we know this may be tough news. These festivals have been traditions 575 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,720 for many in our community. We want to give a huge thank you 576 00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:41,920 for all the years of support. The future is bright. 577 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,400 We're brewing up new event ideas for Chico and can't wait to 578 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,600 share what's next. Hey, what's what is the first thing 579 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,440 you think of when you hear Chico Razor Ramon? Okay. Just checking. 580 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,600 Not a wrestling show, but. Okay. Thanks. Hey, yo. Hey, Chico. 581 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:03,280 Like what? Next story please. Is that where? Like. 582 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,580 That's all right. You guys all want to know about this? 583 00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:09,940 It's a wrestling thing. Crickets. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. 584 00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:14,660 I'll take your word for it. Yeah. Uh, new England craft beer is 585 00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:20,380 bucking national trends. The total beer industry ended 2024 in 586 00:35:20,380 --> 00:35:25,820 the red, but New England remains a positive beacon. Beacon. Not beacon. 587 00:35:25,940 --> 00:35:30,220 New England recorded a 1.8% dollar sales increase in tracked channels 588 00:35:30,220 --> 00:35:34,780 in 2024, while the total craft industry recorded a -1.6 decline. 589 00:35:34,980 --> 00:35:38,500 The region recorded the largest increase year to date, and was one 590 00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:43,380 of two regions to record growth in whatever the fuck Xaoc means, 591 00:35:43,580 --> 00:35:48,140 along with east South central dollars up 0.5% across Alabama, 592 00:35:48,140 --> 00:35:51,420 Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky. When surveyed, the most important 593 00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,980 experience factor based on the percentage of review factors 594 00:35:54,980 --> 00:36:01,980 mentioned is beverage variety, mentioned in 64% of analyzed reviews. 595 00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:05,950 So basically, uh, they like that the East Coast breweries have a 596 00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:09,190 lot of variety of beverages. Okay, I'm down with that. 597 00:36:09,190 --> 00:36:12,750 I hate when I go into one place and it's like, hey, here's 300 West 598 00:36:12,750 --> 00:36:17,310 Coast IPAs. Yeah, I feel that. Yeah, it's like, hey, I want a little 599 00:36:17,310 --> 00:36:20,510 of this, a little of that. Yeah. Plus with you're with a crowd, 600 00:36:20,510 --> 00:36:23,350 you want the variety because everybody has a different palate. 601 00:36:23,910 --> 00:36:28,310 So is the spice of life for sure. I get that. 602 00:36:28,670 --> 00:36:31,190 I'm glad they're doing a good job. Uh, all right, before we move on, 603 00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:33,750 let's, uh, let's ask some important questions over here. 604 00:36:34,070 --> 00:36:39,590 In a world where craft beer is king, I'm getting sleepy. Oh. Uh oh. 605 00:36:39,790 --> 00:36:42,790 Wake him up. Only one talking dinosaur. 606 00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:47,950 One man, one tongue. One Tongue-jobber. 607 00:36:48,750 --> 00:36:56,030 In this world, we must find out what is Flex drinking? Wow. 608 00:36:56,830 --> 00:37:01,830 Right in time. Um. So, like last week, 609 00:37:01,830 --> 00:37:07,570 I'm keeping it in Illinois, which I only like Illinois for their beer. 610 00:37:07,570 --> 00:37:10,970 I hate them for most other things. And their ice cream thing. 611 00:37:11,010 --> 00:37:14,090 Mainly sports teams. Uh, yeah. Ice cream museum. 612 00:37:14,570 --> 00:37:17,930 So I talked about this beer a little bit. What it looked like. 613 00:37:18,170 --> 00:37:20,570 Uh, this is from Hop Butcher for the world. 614 00:37:20,770 --> 00:37:25,930 Um, it's called Simcoe Traveling Scientist. And, uh, it is a lighter. 615 00:37:25,930 --> 00:37:28,970 It is a pale ale, a New England hazy pale ale. 616 00:37:29,650 --> 00:37:32,770 Uh, it's got Simcoe and Quantum Simcoe. 617 00:37:33,290 --> 00:37:36,050 I don't know what Quantum Simcoe is. I don't know, it sounds like it's 618 00:37:36,050 --> 00:37:39,210 at light speed or something. Like, uh, Ant-Man. Shit. 619 00:37:39,610 --> 00:37:44,090 Uh, relatively new beer. Uh, 406 check ins. 620 00:37:44,090 --> 00:37:52,410 It's got a 407 rating, and it's a 5.75% a ABV and 621 00:37:53,130 --> 00:37:58,490 untapped reads Simcoe and Quantum. Simcoe hopped American pale ale. 622 00:37:59,170 --> 00:38:00,850 Got it. Don't get much better than that. 623 00:38:02,670 --> 00:38:05,350 That is a great description. I love it so much. 624 00:38:05,390 --> 00:38:08,830 Again, I love this can. They always have the tasting notes 625 00:38:08,830 --> 00:38:12,430 for every single beer they do. Whether or not I taste them is one 626 00:38:12,430 --> 00:38:20,270 thing, but they say sweet pine juice, orange and candied berries. Mhm. 627 00:38:20,670 --> 00:38:23,870 So berries are always something difficult for me to pick up in beers. 628 00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:27,190 I guarantee I'll get the pine the orange. 629 00:38:27,710 --> 00:38:31,150 So let's have some fun with this one on the old schnoz. The pine. 630 00:38:31,870 --> 00:38:35,550 Oh, this is weird. Oh. It's digging deep. 631 00:38:36,110 --> 00:38:39,350 So in, like, a non disgusting way. Um. 632 00:38:40,510 --> 00:38:44,110 It's a good way to start things off. It almost smells like cough medicine. 633 00:38:44,710 --> 00:38:46,190 Oh, like, you know how you get like that 634 00:38:46,190 --> 00:38:49,910 gross berry cough medicine. Yeah. But it has, like, 635 00:38:49,950 --> 00:38:55,750 the menthol vapor to it. Sure. Yeah. So this sounds. Delicious. No. 636 00:38:55,790 --> 00:39:00,570 So this is like, berry mixed with, like, the pine As opposed to like 637 00:39:00,610 --> 00:39:03,290 how you usually get citrus or like grapefruit with the pine. 638 00:39:03,970 --> 00:39:08,090 So this is interesting. Okay. Let's dive right in. 639 00:39:08,130 --> 00:39:13,250 Warm up the old Tongue-jobber. Ooh, that's quite the warm up. 640 00:39:13,290 --> 00:39:20,930 Oh, a little extra. Dang. Oh. Still going? All right, here we go. 641 00:39:21,330 --> 00:39:27,010 Okay. Such a tease. So it's definitely light bodied. 642 00:39:27,050 --> 00:39:31,650 Uh, that 5.75 ABV light on the tasting notes. 643 00:39:32,290 --> 00:39:38,690 A little bit of that sweet pine orange is in there somewhere. 644 00:39:39,130 --> 00:39:41,450 Let me look for it again. A little bit of that cough medicine 645 00:39:41,450 --> 00:39:46,210 berry. Weird. It is weird. Um, what's weird is that it's. 646 00:39:46,210 --> 00:39:49,730 It's not bad either. Mm. It's enjoyable. 647 00:39:49,770 --> 00:39:52,210 You lost me at cough syrup. Well, I know I would. 648 00:39:52,290 --> 00:39:55,330 Um, it was a weird description. I shouldn't have started out 649 00:39:55,330 --> 00:39:57,490 like that. Uh, I just didn't know how else to 650 00:39:57,530 --> 00:40:03,350 put it, but this is pretty solid. Is 12.99 probably wouldn't buy again. 651 00:40:04,310 --> 00:40:10,550 29 for four pack or. Four pack. Okay. Um, but you know what? 652 00:40:10,550 --> 00:40:13,510 I would drink it again if somebody handed it to me. 653 00:40:14,230 --> 00:40:19,510 No problem. Uh, it's all right. It's fun. It's all right. 654 00:40:19,550 --> 00:40:22,910 It's fun. But the cannot. Gets the job done. Sipping on. 655 00:40:23,190 --> 00:40:27,350 Grandpa's. Old cough medicine. He's like a little scientist. 656 00:40:27,390 --> 00:40:31,430 He's like a little fucking. Oh, is this the one your kids 657 00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:34,470 were laughing at? Yeah. He doesn't have a hat. 658 00:40:34,470 --> 00:40:36,270 It's like he's like a. It's super. Weird. 659 00:40:36,310 --> 00:40:39,190 He's a scientist, but it's fun. It's fun. 660 00:40:39,230 --> 00:40:42,870 Looks like your kids drew it. Yeah. Kind of does, actually. 661 00:40:42,910 --> 00:40:45,950 Right. He's got a mustache. I really like the mustache. 662 00:40:47,310 --> 00:40:49,030 I mean, his kids already designed the, uh. 663 00:40:49,710 --> 00:40:53,390 Merry Christmas. Happy new year. That's right. Bottle art for, uh. 664 00:40:53,870 --> 00:40:58,640 When they come back. Random note my son, who's only 11. 665 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:04,040 Dreams of having a mustache one day. Just. It is like such a goal. 666 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,120 So we always, like, walk around with our finger above or like. 667 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,120 Good for him.

I might be wrong. 699 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,840 It's definitely somewhere. Uh, the side project I went to 700 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,360 was in UA in Abu Dhabi or something like that. 701 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,280 But there's more of them, I know that. I think there's. 702 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,520 Is it like the brewery has. Missouri. Project or. Oh, it's. Missouri. 703 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:29,600 Oh in Missouri. Okay. Shame.

That's like what they're known for. 706 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,360 Huge stouts. Would you like to take a guess 707 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,000 for a two pack? And how much it costs for a two pack? 708 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,160 Two pack? Is it what's a two pack look like? 709 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,400 I'm sorry. They, like, cut the four pack. 710 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,460 They literally cut the four pack. Yeah. And sell it. Yeah. 711 00:43:53,500 --> 00:43:56,780 Do you want to hear it? 16 ounce. You said. 16 ounce beers. 712 00:43:56,820 --> 00:44:06,420 Two pack. 22 bucks. 28. 25.99. Two beers. Two beers. $13 beers. 713 00:44:06,660 --> 00:44:11,460 I said no, thank you. Were they at least, like, 714 00:44:11,460 --> 00:44:14,740 30% ABV or something? I didn't even bother to look 715 00:44:14,940 --> 00:44:17,940 because they're disgusted. I saw one of the bottles sitting 716 00:44:17,940 --> 00:44:23,980 on the shelf and I was like, oh, maybe like if that was 25 bucks. 717 00:44:24,140 --> 00:44:29,220 I don't know. It's like 39.99. Okay. Yeah. Jeez. 718 00:44:29,580 --> 00:44:34,860 I said, no, thanks. Yeah. Those. I'd say those days are over for 719 00:44:34,860 --> 00:44:41,500 craft beers. Yeah. I'm not. Uh. No. I'm not chasing bottles anymore. 720 00:44:41,660 --> 00:44:46,740 Especially not at 39 bucks. Yeah, the hard to find the rarities. 721 00:44:46,980 --> 00:44:52,120 It's just. No. I'm good. Freshie. Maybe it's the old man in me. 722 00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:56,040 Maybe. I know what I like. I know what I like to drink. 723 00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:02,120 And if it's not that anymore and it doesn't fit the price range, 724 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,240 it's just not worth it. That's true. Is it a phase? 725 00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:09,880 Is it more of like where we're at in our phase. Of. 726 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:15,080 Our craft beer experience? Yeah. Or I'm just curious, are there people 727 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,720 out there still really doing that and they will progress through it? 728 00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:21,480 Or please let us know. Yeah, I'm a little curious. 729 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,480 Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe it is a stage. Right? A stage. 730 00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:28,800 Are people still clamoring for Firestone Beer Festival tickets 731 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,240 because they want to go out in the 110 degree heat and slam some 732 00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:36,520 stouts all day? Maybe they are. Maybe. Let us know. 733 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,920 People who got Firestone tickets. I didn't even try this year. Nope. 734 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,000 Yeah, yeah, I haven't tried the past few years. 735 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,920 Yeah, we tried in a couple of years. We were just excited.

Yeah, it's probably fresher. 751 00:46:43,980 --> 00:46:46,460 We're Flex is because they're closer to Minneapolis. 752 00:46:46,460 --> 00:46:51,510 Minnesota. Yeah. Oh. Tex mex. You think target's going to Texas 753 00:46:51,510 --> 00:46:56,750 for their Mex? I don't know. Just trying. I'm trying. Texas. 754 00:46:56,790 --> 00:47:02,150 Hey. Not a snack show. No snack. Oh, we'll end it on the. 755 00:47:02,190 --> 00:47:04,950 On these two stories. First, Juneshine has partnered with 756 00:47:04,950 --> 00:47:08,710 Willie Nelson for a new beverage. It's called Willie's Remedy. 757 00:47:08,830 --> 00:47:11,230 The country music star and his wellness enterprise partner, 758 00:47:11,230 --> 00:47:14,230 Long Play Inc., have partnered with Juneshine Brands 759 00:47:14,230 --> 00:47:20,590 to launch Willie's Remedy Plus, an intoxicating hemp based social tonic. 760 00:47:21,110 --> 00:47:24,950 Willie's Remedy Plus, available in 750ml bottles, 761 00:47:24,950 --> 00:47:30,430 shipped direct to consumer in 35 states. Priced at $70. Whoa! 762 00:47:30,670 --> 00:47:32,790 Why do you have to state that? It's an A. 763 00:47:33,190 --> 00:47:37,750 Because most places you can't have alcohol and hemp products 764 00:47:37,750 --> 00:47:41,350 in the same thing. Oh, so they have to actually say 765 00:47:41,350 --> 00:47:44,110 that it's an A, but a hemp infused like. Yeah. 766 00:47:44,150 --> 00:47:46,490 In California you go to the weed shop and you buy weed, beer? 767 00:47:46,490 --> 00:47:48,330 But there's no alcohol in that weed beer. 768 00:47:48,450 --> 00:47:53,930 Okay, so when it says hemp based is that THC. Or. Hemp can mean a lot. 769 00:47:54,050 --> 00:47:56,770 You mean all kinds of things? Well, here, with five milligrams 770 00:47:56,770 --> 00:48:01,090 of THC, two milligrams of CBD, two milligrams of CBG, uh, 771 00:48:01,130 --> 00:48:06,850 200mg of l-theanine per serving, creating a fast acting and short 772 00:48:06,850 --> 00:48:09,530 lasting adult beverage. So yes, we were just in Texas. 773 00:48:09,530 --> 00:48:12,530 I looked all into the whole THC thing because marijuana is outlawed 774 00:48:12,530 --> 00:48:16,650 in Texas, but hemp is not. And you can get THC out of hemp. 775 00:48:16,650 --> 00:48:23,410 And now they've found a way, found ways to make more potent hemp, 776 00:48:23,450 --> 00:48:26,370 you know, like higher THC levels in hemp and that kind of stuff. 777 00:48:26,450 --> 00:48:30,530 Hemp hime. So anyways, there you have it. 778 00:48:30,570 --> 00:48:33,330 Uh, we'll end it on this one. Property damage crash leads to drunk 779 00:48:33,330 --> 00:48:38,850 driving arrest in Lincoln County, Tinhe the town of pine River, 780 00:48:38,890 --> 00:48:43,090 Wisconsin. Whoa! If you are heard of pine River, 781 00:48:43,130 --> 00:48:46,630 you've been there recently? No, I just know a lot of pine trees. 782 00:48:48,150 --> 00:48:52,270 Oh, okay. 53 year old Merrill man has been 783 00:48:52,270 --> 00:48:56,710 accused of his fifth or sixth OWI after a property damage 784 00:48:56,710 --> 00:49:01,910 crash on State Highway 64, in pine River. Good old coz. 785 00:49:02,190 --> 00:49:05,710 Uh, it started with an investigation into a crashed vehicle on Thursday. 786 00:49:05,990 --> 00:49:08,670 Officers found the vehicle unoccupied, 787 00:49:08,870 --> 00:49:12,750 but did find the vehicle's registration as they left to find the 788 00:49:12,750 --> 00:49:18,030 owner at his last known address. The man, now identified as Brad Hurt, 789 00:49:18,430 --> 00:49:21,550 returned to the scene with a tractor and pulled the vehicle 790 00:49:21,590 --> 00:49:25,390 back onto the road. Officers found here today driving 791 00:49:25,390 --> 00:49:28,790 the vehicle on Poplar Road and attempted to pull him over, but he 792 00:49:28,790 --> 00:49:31,630 took off and parked in a private driveway before fleeing on foot. 793 00:49:31,670 --> 00:49:34,510 When officers caught up to him, they noticed signs of impairment. 794 00:49:34,550 --> 00:49:37,870 He failed a series of field sobriety tests and was arrested for OWI, 795 00:49:38,030 --> 00:49:41,670 fleeing an officer and resisting or obstructing arrest. 796 00:49:41,710 --> 00:49:45,690 Court records show he posted 1500 cash, $5,000 cash bond on Monday, 797 00:49:45,690 --> 00:49:48,770 will return to court on April 9th. Blah blah blah. 798 00:49:49,090 --> 00:49:52,130 So the guy crashed his car, went and got his tractor, pulled it out 799 00:49:52,130 --> 00:49:56,530 and then tried to drive away. Nice. Okay, so here when they're doing, 800 00:49:56,570 --> 00:50:00,290 quote field sobriety tests, is that because he has a tractor. 801 00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:04,130 Are they like in the field and doing sobriety tests like climb 802 00:50:04,130 --> 00:50:11,330 this corn stalk. Pick these crops. Like these. Yeah. 803 00:50:11,530 --> 00:50:15,690 I'm just wondering if it's different. And when you're driving a tractor 804 00:50:15,690 --> 00:50:21,050 and. It might be in. Wisconsin. Don't they do as much farming in 805 00:50:21,050 --> 00:50:24,690 California that they do in Wisconsin? Yeah, they probably do more 806 00:50:24,690 --> 00:50:28,370 farming out here. Yeah. Right. Probably like the farming capital 807 00:50:28,410 --> 00:50:33,250 of the world. Yeah. That's true. Or Sacramento is the farm to fork 808 00:50:33,250 --> 00:50:35,850 to farm to fork.

Tell you what, if I farmed, 813 00:50:52,430 --> 00:50:56,630 I would farm to fork you. Should they feather it and get it on 814 00:50:56,630 --> 00:50:59,470 your plate within, like we said, 40 minutes, 40 minutes. 815 00:51:00,030 --> 00:51:07,550 And our field sobriety test involve, um, I don't know, husking corn. 816 00:51:07,710 --> 00:51:12,950 And, um, I don't know.

We talked about this a couple of 825 00:51:39,330 --> 00:51:43,530 years ago. Yeah, I do too. So I brought that up to my wife 826 00:51:43,530 --> 00:51:45,810 and my kids, and they thought that was the most ridiculous 827 00:51:45,810 --> 00:51:48,970 thing that they've ever heard. Oh, that you can do it backwards. 828 00:51:48,970 --> 00:51:53,410 That that I just constantly practice it as I'm driving. 829 00:51:53,730 --> 00:51:59,410 Well, have you been called out on it? Um, my daughter was trying to do it 830 00:51:59,410 --> 00:52:05,530 backwards, and before she got to R, I was already finished. 831 00:52:07,010 --> 00:52:11,210 And, uh, she got really upset with me because she's, like, a perfectionist, 832 00:52:11,250 --> 00:52:15,490 and she always needs to get things, you know, first and do things the 833 00:52:15,490 --> 00:52:18,410 right daddy. Practices. Every day. Then she went to school, and. 834 00:52:18,450 --> 00:52:21,450 And dad said. She was astounded at how quickly. 835 00:52:21,450 --> 00:52:24,210 And I said, oh, yeah, I always practice it when I'm 836 00:52:24,210 --> 00:52:27,450 driving in my car. Right. And she's telling her teachers 837 00:52:27,450 --> 00:52:29,450 about it. My dad practices saying the 838 00:52:29,450 --> 00:52:31,930 alphabet backwards. I hope she doesn't do that. 839 00:52:31,930 --> 00:52:36,370 I swear, I hope she doesn't do that. It's Wisconsin. They're expecting it. 840 00:52:36,410 --> 00:52:39,780 But yeah, all three of the women in my family thought that was 841 00:52:39,780 --> 00:52:43,340 the most ridiculous thing that they've heard.
