I am Greg and I am being joined 3 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,980 by the guy who barely made it and that's flex. What's up big fella? 4 00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:33,740 I forgot I did forget to be here. Luckily I just had to walk down a 5 00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:38,690 flight of stairs and I was on. Right? But yes, I completely forgot about 6 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,960 tonight. And it was kind of funny. So good times. 7 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,030 I thought it was hilarious myself. Yeah, it was funny. 8 00:00:44,060 --> 00:00:46,370 We we got a fucked up schedule the next couple of weeks, 9 00:00:46,370 --> 00:00:51,320 so it's understandable and make sure hopefully, uh, we'll, 10 00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:56,270 we'll keep releasing shows and all that good stuff. Hopefully. 11 00:00:56,300 --> 00:01:01,290 Yeah. Hopefully see what happens. Anyways, follow us on the 12 00:01:01,650 --> 00:01:07,140 socials at Craft Beer Republic. Affleck's beer underscores 13 00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:12,330 Inbetweeners. Lots to get to tonight. Uh, did some partying over the 14 00:01:12,330 --> 00:01:16,080 weekend and I am still paying for it. I'm very excited you briefly 15 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,770 spoke about this off air, and I'm very excited to hear details, 16 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,430 asking some questions. I can't wait for the questions. 17 00:01:25,170 --> 00:01:29,790 Uh, we got some news to get to. Uh, we had somebody write to us 18 00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:34,770 about that beer math story we did a week or so ago. The dollar pints. 19 00:01:34,770 --> 00:01:38,010 He did some math for us. Okay. And how many pints we would actually 20 00:01:38,010 --> 00:01:40,680 need to drink to make it worth it. So we'll get to to all that in 21 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,770 just a little bit. But, uh, I'm gonna hope this is sort 22 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,970 of like a hair of the dog situation for me, and not a it's all downhill 23 00:01:47,970 --> 00:02:04,000 situation for me. I have my name. Oh, I have my beer. I love my hair. 24 00:02:04,030 --> 00:02:11,740 I love my beer. Oh, yeah. Thanks to intern Brian, I am 25 00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:20,920 drinking Trillium Brewing Companies. Congress Street, 7.2% has a 4.27 on 26 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:28,360 untapped 70 over 70,000 ratings. That's crazy. That's insane. 27 00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:31,120 I don't know if I've seen a beer with that many Iranians before. 28 00:02:31,780 --> 00:02:36,790 Trillion. I mean, I'm sure we have. I'm sure Sierra Nevada pale is I 29 00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:39,250 mean. It is a shit ton. Like, that's that's that's a ton. 30 00:02:39,610 --> 00:02:42,160 And to. Maintain a 4.27 at that, that's. 31 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,570 Not under I'm not trying to undercut it. Sure. But yeah. 32 00:02:46,870 --> 00:02:49,300 It's insane. Yeah. Um, from the brewery, 33 00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:52,540 they say our flagship American IPA highlights the distinctive 34 00:02:52,570 --> 00:02:56,860 aromatic Australian galaxy hop. The nose bursts with pine, 35 00:02:56,890 --> 00:03:01,100 citrus rind, melon and pineapple. Pronounced flavors of peach, 36 00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:05,960 clementine, and tropical fruits are accentuated with moderate 37 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,910 bitterness and a balanced by a light biscuity malt character. 38 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,070 The Galaxy and Columbus are the hops. They even go on to tell you what type 39 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:20,450 of malts they put in this thing. Ooh. So the schnoz. 40 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,260 I definitely get the pine. I get a little bit of citrus in 41 00:03:24,290 --> 00:03:25,850 there. I don't know that I get tons of 42 00:03:25,850 --> 00:03:30,560 melon or pineapple so much. I also it's a fairly light nose, 43 00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:32,840 as you can see. It's properly hazy and they 44 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,030 don't even call it a hazy. They just call it an American IPA. 45 00:03:35,060 --> 00:03:38,900 It's wonderfully hazy looking. The head looks very nice. 46 00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:42,080 Nice retention there. When I first poured this, it was 47 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,360 like I should have taken a picture. It was like the most gorgeous 48 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,790 pour ever. Perfect amount of head at the top. 49 00:03:47,210 --> 00:03:51,170 And now some nice lacing I'm digging in here. That is nice. 50 00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:54,290 I definitely get the peach, get some tropical ness. 51 00:03:54,290 --> 00:03:56,330 I think I'm getting some pineapple in there. 52 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,110 It's, um, it's a little bigger on the mouthfeel than, like, 53 00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:03,090 say, like a super cloudy. That's probably because it's got 54 00:04:03,090 --> 00:04:06,210 some malt to it. Okay. Um, but it's real nice. 55 00:04:06,210 --> 00:04:10,710 Easy to drink a little smidge of alcohol at the end. 56 00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:14,850 Uh, you know, you're drinking. Not a five percenter, but it's not 57 00:04:14,850 --> 00:04:17,160 like a ooh, it's hot kind of thing. It's just nice. It's good. 58 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,960 I like this. I enjoy that, too. Yeah, just just a little right there. 59 00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:25,470 Take a. Reminder. Okay? Don't forget me. I'm here. 60 00:04:25,530 --> 00:04:29,550 You have two of me, and you're gonna feel it. Yeah. You're gonna. 61 00:04:29,580 --> 00:04:32,970 You're gonna be a little buzzy after a couple of us. Me and my twin. 62 00:04:32,970 --> 00:04:35,430 So. Yeah. Good times, I like it. Thanks. Brian. 63 00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:38,400 This is, you know, a few months ago, I think this is what started the 64 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,180 whole, uh, flexes algorithm thing when he gave me that other trillion 65 00:04:42,180 --> 00:04:44,850 beer and we started talking about pricing because it was like 28 bucks 66 00:04:44,850 --> 00:04:48,210 for a four pack. Right. Good stuff. So, uh, I had to get this while it 67 00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:51,690 was still somewhat fresh and, well. That 17. 2%, 68 00:04:51,690 --> 00:04:54,480 I'm sure that was probably 30 bucks. Yeah, 69 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,380 this was probably the more expensive one because the one was like 28 70 00:04:57,410 --> 00:05:00,140 and one was 30 for the four pack. So I think this is the probably 71 00:05:00,140 --> 00:05:05,390 was the $30 one. Who knows. I I'm just guessing. Yeah. Same. 72 00:05:05,390 --> 00:05:09,020 Same girl, same. Uh, shout out to our top listing city 73 00:05:09,020 --> 00:05:12,590 last week. Hawthorne, California. Oh, cool. What up? Hawthorne. 74 00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:15,290 That's like near LA. That's just outside of LA. Neat. 75 00:05:15,290 --> 00:05:16,730 I was gonna say I don't even know where it is. 76 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,360 Yeah, that's out in the hood. I mean, my hood ish. Yeah. 77 00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:23,420 Not a geography show. No, not a map show. 78 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,320 It's really not. Yeah. I did hear a funny story at the 79 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,360 at the birthday I'm about to tell you about. 80 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,210 Somebody was saying they beat some guy up with a globe once, 81 00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:37,430 or I was like, go on. The globes were like, hollow. 82 00:05:37,460 --> 00:05:40,460 Yeah, maybe not this one. But he said, like, he got it and 83 00:05:40,490 --> 00:05:42,830 like, rammed it into his face and just started smashing the dude. 84 00:05:42,830 --> 00:05:44,840 I was like, oh, do you have like Africa imprinted 85 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:49,610 on his forehead after that? Or you would ask a question like 86 00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:52,430 that. I know, I'm so weird. Maybe it was like the base of 87 00:05:52,430 --> 00:05:54,650 the base of the globe. Maybe it's like flat and, 88 00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:00,050 you know. Yeah, but I was heavier. Who knows? Yeah. Yeah. So, please. 89 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,790 Yeah. Tell us how drunk you are. How drunk was he? 90 00:06:04,820 --> 00:06:06,680 Pretty fucking drunk. And I'm still feeling it today. 91 00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:09,980 So this is as we record. This was yesterday. It was Sunday. 92 00:06:10,010 --> 00:06:13,850 Deb. Happy birthday. Deb had her. Birthday. Yeah. Happy birthday. 93 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,810 Deb. And, um. Thanks. We couldn't figure out what to do, 94 00:06:17,810 --> 00:06:23,660 so honestly went to ChatGPT. Like you do for absolutely 95 00:06:23,660 --> 00:06:26,690 everything. It was kind of a joke. It was like, all right, if it comes 96 00:06:26,690 --> 00:06:29,960 up with a good idea, so be it. And said, like, hey, 97 00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:34,370 our friend Deb is turning insert number here, and she's a huge 98 00:06:34,370 --> 00:06:38,000 fan of champagne and brunch. And I think I told her like 99 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,730 1 or 2 other things and said, like, do you have any ideas we 100 00:06:40,730 --> 00:06:42,710 could do for a birthday? And at first it was like you 101 00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:45,020 could take her to brunch. And I was like, yeah, no shit. 102 00:06:45,050 --> 00:06:48,050 ChatGPT. Thank you. And then so we told it to be 103 00:06:48,050 --> 00:06:51,170 more creative and whatever, and it came up with the idea, 104 00:06:51,170 --> 00:06:52,820 which we ended up doing, or at least the base of it. 105 00:06:52,820 --> 00:06:57,630 And what we did was like a champagne around the world tasting, 106 00:06:57,630 --> 00:07:01,380 if you will. So everybody couple every couple 107 00:07:01,410 --> 00:07:04,020 brought a bottle of champagne from a different region. 108 00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:07,200 We had a sign up form so we wouldn't get like, you know, 30 California. 109 00:07:07,470 --> 00:07:10,200 That's fucking hilarious. You left that out pre-show. 110 00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:14,550 Oh, that's like some elementary school, like, birthday sign up 111 00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:18,180 bullshit. Yeah. That's hilarious. I did an online sign up form and 112 00:07:18,180 --> 00:07:21,060 I maxed it out at two bottles per region. 113 00:07:21,060 --> 00:07:24,930 So only two California's, two France, two Italy, all that stuff. 114 00:07:24,930 --> 00:07:28,290 And, um, and so, yeah. So people signed up and then with 115 00:07:28,290 --> 00:07:31,410 that bottle, you're supposed to bring a food from that region. 116 00:07:31,410 --> 00:07:33,570 So, you know, if it's California, that could be anything. 117 00:07:33,570 --> 00:07:36,570 It could be tacos or tri-tip or who knows. We got Italy. 118 00:07:36,570 --> 00:07:42,810 So we did an Italian prosecco with a frittata. Tried to keep it crunchy. 119 00:07:42,810 --> 00:07:45,270 And, uh, so it was fun. Anyway, people brought some some 120 00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:49,290 good food and we had a good time. We drank so much fucking 121 00:07:49,290 --> 00:07:51,720 champagne like champagne. Drunk is another level. 122 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,100 Like, that's when I really start forgetting things. 123 00:07:54,130 --> 00:07:58,900 Did you count how many bottles you finished? No. Fucking I don't know. 124 00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:02,410 Here's what I do know. So the people brought their regional 125 00:08:02,410 --> 00:08:07,210 champagnes, which was probably, I don't know, like, we'll say 126 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,650 7 or 8 people or not people, but parties of bringing champagne. 127 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,910 Okay. And some people, would you say. Like 1 to 2 bottles per. 1 or 2? 128 00:08:15,940 --> 00:08:19,180 Some people brought one, some brought two. Like we you know, we did two. 129 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,980 Um, so there's let's say in that there's. Let's call it 11 bottles. 130 00:08:24,010 --> 00:08:27,010 Okay. I was gonna say 12. I like 11, uh, 11 bottles. 131 00:08:27,010 --> 00:08:28,810 And then on top of that interim, Brian, 132 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,930 this is kind of a surprise for Deb. So, like, he snuck over to our house, 133 00:08:31,930 --> 00:08:34,480 dropped off some what we call sideline bottles that weren't 134 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,740 part of the theme. It was just like, oh, 135 00:08:35,770 --> 00:08:39,400 if we need more champagne. I think that was it was either 6 or 8 136 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,950 more bottles. Let's say it was six. Let's be conservative. All right. 137 00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:44,650 So now we're looking at 17 bottles of champagne. 138 00:08:44,650 --> 00:08:47,650 So easily at least a bottle per person. 139 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,710 Yes, minimum, because I don't. Think there were 17 adults in 140 00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:54,620 this house. And so minimum a bottle of person. 141 00:08:54,770 --> 00:08:58,400 We did crack open a few beers. Our buddy Otter came over and he 142 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,910 works at Tarantula Hill. He brought a new collab that T Hill 143 00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:05,840 was working on. It was delicious. At some point, 144 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,600 I didn't know this happened. Interim. Brian like DoorDash. More champagne. 145 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,390 I just I was sitting outside on the patio talking, and I look over the 146 00:09:14,390 --> 00:09:18,260 fence and there's a dude getting out of a car with, like, this giant bag, 147 00:09:18,260 --> 00:09:20,120 and he's handing it to Brian. I was like, oh my God, 148 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,440 did he DoorDash for champs? At least six more bottles. 149 00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:27,680 Oh my God, so sick. They weren't all. Finished I think. 150 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,100 So we're looking at 23 bottles. I think 20 guys. 151 00:09:31,130 --> 00:09:35,210 Let's say 20 got consumed. Yeah. Because there was like a couple of 152 00:09:35,210 --> 00:09:38,630 bottles from that DoorDash left over. That's a lot of champagne. 153 00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:41,870 A lot of fucking champagne. Minimally, I had at least a 154 00:09:41,870 --> 00:09:45,410 bottle and a half of champagne, plus a couple of beers. Good lord. 155 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,570 Yeah, we just drank for eight fucking hours. 156 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,950 Like it started at noon and the last person left at, like, 815, 157 00:09:51,950 --> 00:09:55,380 I think. I mean. I was about to say I would probably 158 00:09:55,380 --> 00:09:58,050 be vomiting at that point, but eight hours of drinking 159 00:09:58,050 --> 00:09:59,820 starting at noon. Yeah, 160 00:10:01,170 --> 00:10:05,880 I think I would be okay with that. Yeah. And I didn't get too drunk. 161 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:08,610 I mean, I got festively drunk throughout the day. 162 00:10:08,610 --> 00:10:11,520 I wasn't like, sheltered. I was trying to keep it together 163 00:10:11,550 --> 00:10:14,220 a little bit. Hey, is our house. So, like, if people needed stuff, 164 00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:16,140 I need to keep it together. Uh, b, 165 00:10:16,170 --> 00:10:19,470 our dog Marty's not doing well. And so, like, I had to make sure, 166 00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:23,220 like he was being taken care of. He's. We've had some diarrhea issues. 167 00:10:23,250 --> 00:10:26,790 I didn't want that happening in the house, but then after it went left, 168 00:10:26,820 --> 00:10:28,710 I'd shit you not. I got a pint glass and I just 169 00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:30,090 filled it. It was probably about a half a 170 00:10:30,090 --> 00:10:34,740 bottle of champagne and just started drinking that and sat on the couch 171 00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:40,350 and had. I'm getting a headache now. Just really started kicking in. 172 00:10:40,350 --> 00:10:46,020 And then this morning when I woke up, I was like, oh, daddy, oh, 173 00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:50,730 daddy. Little buzzy. So now what kind of drunk? 174 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,920 Or I should say, what kind of hangover is champagne for you? 175 00:10:53,950 --> 00:10:57,820 So first of all, I should say champagne drunk is 176 00:10:57,820 --> 00:11:01,270 apparently I forget everything. Like, I don't think I was that 177 00:11:01,270 --> 00:11:04,120 drunk throughout the day until towards the end. 178 00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:08,080 I'm sure I was getting pretty up there, but I felt like I was 179 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,420 really holding it together and I wasn't slamming champagne. 180 00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:15,490 I just was consistently sipping. And. But I remember so little of yesterday 181 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,880 like I remember who was there. I remember talking to certain people 182 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,760 and certain specific conversations, like beating some guy up with a 183 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,660 globe. Um, and that kind of. But like, I was like, fuck you. 184 00:11:25,660 --> 00:11:28,090 Don't forget that. You really could you. Yeah, yeah. 185 00:11:28,210 --> 00:11:29,860 But I was like, fuck, when did this person leave and 186 00:11:29,860 --> 00:11:31,630 when did this person leave? And like, I don't know, 187 00:11:31,630 --> 00:11:33,820 I have no fucking clue. I don't see what the last people to 188 00:11:33,820 --> 00:11:36,760 leave were. Of course, Deb and Brian. Like, I looked at the ring to 189 00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:37,720 see when they left. I was like, oh, 190 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:43,450 they left at like 815. And so that's. Wild because it's it's different 191 00:11:43,450 --> 00:11:47,080 when you're at somebody else's house and you miss people leaving. Sure. 192 00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:50,660 But when you're the host and it's at your house. Yeah. 193 00:11:51,260 --> 00:11:52,760 There's a good couple. Hours where people. 194 00:11:52,820 --> 00:11:56,450 Come up to you and say, hey, thanks for having us. 195 00:11:56,570 --> 00:12:00,200 So the fact that you can't remember that, that's something. Well, like. 196 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,260 One person in particular, she left. I have no idea what time. 197 00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:05,300 I guess I could look it up on the ring, but I think I was out 198 00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:07,850 on the patio when she left, so probably didn't see me, 199 00:12:07,850 --> 00:12:10,850 so didn't come say bye, I think. Or maybe she came and said bye and, 200 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,760 you know, tickled my balls and left and I just don't remember it. 201 00:12:14,780 --> 00:12:18,650 Who knows. But but yeah. So to answer your actual question, 202 00:12:18,650 --> 00:12:22,790 uh, champagne hangover is not fun. It's not a throw up hangover. 203 00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:25,640 It's not like a stump, at least for me. Not a stomach hangover. 204 00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:31,430 It was the fucking headache. And, like, dizziness and, like, I had 205 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:33,770 to drive somewhere for work today. I was like, fuck, I do not want to 206 00:12:33,770 --> 00:12:37,100 drive so bad. Like it was throbbing. Headache. Just kind of lingering. 207 00:12:37,130 --> 00:12:41,720 What is this. Just kind of lingering? I'd say the worst part is like 208 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,140 the the sort of off kilter ness where it's just like, okay, 209 00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:49,740 I'm spinning all day long. Oh, that is not great. 210 00:12:49,770 --> 00:12:53,700 Yeah, but it's in full effect. Like for lunch today? 211 00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:57,360 We all know that I eat fairly well. Fairly low carb and all that stuff. 212 00:12:57,510 --> 00:13:00,420 Uh, for lunch I went and I was like, hey, I'm gonna go pick up salads 213 00:13:00,420 --> 00:13:02,820 because we don't have anything else. She's like, okay, but I went to 214 00:13:02,850 --> 00:13:06,330 the place that I know has great sweet potato fries, and I brought 215 00:13:06,330 --> 00:13:07,920 back some sweet potato fries. And I was like, 216 00:13:07,950 --> 00:13:11,850 I need these in my life so bad. I do fux with some sweet potato 217 00:13:11,850 --> 00:13:14,370 fries. Oh, man. I'll get horny on some sweet potato. 218 00:13:14,430 --> 00:13:18,150 They are real nice. Yeah, a little ranch on there. 219 00:13:18,510 --> 00:13:21,270 Oh, really? Oh, yeah. What do you like? 220 00:13:21,690 --> 00:13:24,900 Oh, I just like, I could just eat sweet potato fries. 221 00:13:24,990 --> 00:13:27,690 Like, you know, there's sweet, obviously. 222 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,900 And, like, you get some nice coarse grain salt on there. Oh, yeah. 223 00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:34,950 I did add some salt on there. Freshly ground. That's all I need. 224 00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:38,580 Yeah. It's good. That salt just fucking hits with it. 225 00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:40,650 The salt is key. I'd say that's more important 226 00:13:40,650 --> 00:13:44,250 than the dip for sure, but I do a little light ranch 227 00:13:44,250 --> 00:13:47,190 dip with my sweet potatoes. The wife fucking would drink 228 00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:49,550 ranch if it didn't look weird. So she's over there, like. 229 00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:52,100 Like, you know, it's a fucking spoon for ranch, basically. 230 00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:55,190 But I just a little light hint of ranch. Ton of salt. Mhm. 231 00:13:55,310 --> 00:13:58,070 Set my life. Straight. See? Hot take. Unpopular opinion. 232 00:13:58,070 --> 00:14:02,780 I don't love ranch. Just in general. Yeah. Like with anything. 233 00:14:02,810 --> 00:14:04,910 Oh, see, I don't like ketchup. Like I don't want ketchup on my 234 00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:07,430 fries. Oh. See, I can eat ketchup with just 235 00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:13,370 about everything. Too sweet for me. Too sweet. Okay. Too sweet. 236 00:14:13,730 --> 00:14:21,140 Too sweet for life. Uh, so that's. That's my death for the day. 237 00:14:21,830 --> 00:14:25,400 So nobody brought any buzz balls? No buzz balls were consumed. 238 00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:28,790 Funny you should ask. I had to go to Total Wine before 239 00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:31,640 to pick up the champs. And I saw Buzz Balls, 240 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,200 and I picked one up for Deb. Nice. And I wasn't there when they did it, 241 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,460 but they gave it to her. And the wife took video and she. 242 00:14:40,490 --> 00:14:43,460 She took it like a Smirnoff, like an ice. She got down on one knee. 243 00:14:43,460 --> 00:14:46,190 And are you supposed to chug them or are they just like, 244 00:14:46,220 --> 00:14:49,250 rtds you just drink them? No, she's just a champ, 245 00:14:49,250 --> 00:14:51,860 so she fucking downed it. But, um, I don't I don't think 246 00:14:51,860 --> 00:14:55,070 there's a rule to, you know, to, like, be nice. Okay. 247 00:14:55,190 --> 00:14:57,920 I also, I want everybody out there who listens, 248 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,490 who sometimes comes to my house. Ever to know that while I was at 249 00:15:01,490 --> 00:15:05,210 Total Wine, I also purchased a six pack of Smirnoff Ice. 250 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,430 You know, I've thought about this, and, uh, I thought it would be 251 00:15:10,430 --> 00:15:15,050 really funny to ice guys at work. Oh, like while you're working? Yeah. 252 00:15:15,050 --> 00:15:20,450 So, like, buy the six pack and then, like, if I say I'm, like, 253 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,080 got a closing shift coming up, then I would, like, 254 00:15:24,110 --> 00:15:27,920 set everything up as I closed. So when everybody came in in the 255 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,950 morning, they would be shocked and awe and probably obviously not 256 00:15:34,070 --> 00:15:39,080 chug the ice before work or when they find it, but after and just 257 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,420 have this huge chug circle and. Then, you know, 258 00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:45,050 it's waiting for you all day too. And because they just, uh, you know, 259 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,030 we got like our beer cooler and shit. We sell liquor at work. 260 00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:50,700 They just came out with these new Smirnoff Ice things. 261 00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:55,200 They're like six ounces, maybe eight ounces, and they're 262 00:15:55,230 --> 00:15:59,700 like 13% alcohol. Holy shit. Yeah, I forgot what they're called. 263 00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:01,230 They're not. They're not called shorties. 264 00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:03,420 They're not called. They have a name to them. 265 00:16:03,570 --> 00:16:07,290 I should get. Diabetes or something. But I was like, man, 266 00:16:07,290 --> 00:16:11,910 imagine icing somebody with this. That would be shitty. 267 00:16:11,940 --> 00:16:14,640 Yeah, it'd be terrible. Terrible? Like what? 268 00:16:14,730 --> 00:16:17,520 You're not even somebody's friend doing that, right? 269 00:16:17,550 --> 00:16:20,910 You are now enemies. Well, I hesitate to say this on the 270 00:16:20,910 --> 00:16:23,790 show, because I know people who come over to my house will hear this, 271 00:16:23,790 --> 00:16:25,650 and I don't want to tip them off. But the wife, 272 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,110 I might even cut this out. But the wife saw a thing on the 273 00:16:28,110 --> 00:16:33,480 gram where somebody put a Smirnoff in there. Okay, so. 274 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,820 That's why I bought them. There is now a Smirnoff sitting 275 00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:41,340 in my. That's ruthless man. Yeah. Oh, are you going for some aspirin? 276 00:16:41,370 --> 00:16:44,070 Okay. Yeah. They are called shorties. That's what they're called. 277 00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:49,240 There you go. Yeah. 13% alcohol, 6.76oz should. 278 00:16:49,270 --> 00:16:52,210 Be called friendship runners. And I think they come in a 279 00:16:52,210 --> 00:16:54,820 couple flavors, but that's not the important part. 280 00:16:54,850 --> 00:16:57,340 The important part is that they're awful. 281 00:16:57,370 --> 00:16:59,980 You should find these and you should ice your friends with them. 282 00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:05,140 Yeah. Your best friends? Yes. Because that will show a true 283 00:17:05,170 --> 00:17:08,020 testament of friendship if they stay. Yeah. 284 00:17:08,020 --> 00:17:11,350 If they don't punch you in the face. Yeah. Good times. 285 00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:16,270 So anyways, that was Deb's party. Smirnoff ice in the. Yeah. 286 00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:19,990 What a horrible idea. We've done toilets before. 287 00:17:19,990 --> 00:17:23,830 We've done? Sure. Under somebody's covers before. 288 00:17:23,860 --> 00:17:27,490 My favorite ever was the pizza box. I did the pizza box. Yeah, I. 289 00:17:27,490 --> 00:17:31,060 Tell that one a lot. Yeah. I love icing people. 290 00:17:31,210 --> 00:17:33,100 Anybody who does get it, I'll be nice. 291 00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:35,440 I will swap it out for one of the cold ones in the fridge. 292 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,550 You don't have to drink the warm one. Chugging warm would be easier. 293 00:17:39,580 --> 00:17:42,730 You think? Oh, yeah. But then chugging something ice 294 00:17:42,730 --> 00:17:44,980 cold with, like, some carbonation. It's terrible. 295 00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:48,110 But then you taste it more. Not if you chug it. 296 00:17:48,140 --> 00:17:49,610 I'm not tasting anything. You're chugging? 297 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,780 Well, it'll be up to the chugger. I'll let them decide. 298 00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:57,080 It's a gentleman rule. Yeah. I'll be. I'll be that nice. 299 00:17:57,470 --> 00:18:00,530 You're a nice guy, Greg. Yeah. A very funny part of the show was 300 00:18:00,530 --> 00:18:04,580 taken out to protect the integrity of the hiding location of the ice. 301 00:18:05,060 --> 00:18:09,410 Apologies for the inconvenience. Now, back to your favorite podcast. 302 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,860 You should hide one in between your couch, like the arm of the couch and 303 00:18:12,860 --> 00:18:16,940 the cushion. Mhm. Somebody sits down. They're gonna feel it. 304 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,030 What stuck down here. And if they don't feel it you go 305 00:18:20,030 --> 00:18:22,640 like hey is the remote down there. Can you, can you reach for it. 306 00:18:22,670 --> 00:18:28,430 Super solid. Yeah, it's a good one. I like. That. Well, I'll report back. 307 00:18:28,910 --> 00:18:32,930 Um, like I said, at the top, somebody wrote in and commented on, 308 00:18:33,050 --> 00:18:35,780 you know, I post clips of the show on like, YouTube and social 309 00:18:35,780 --> 00:18:38,300 media and all that stuff. Somebody commented on the on the 310 00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:41,720 clip of us talking about the dollar pints for life. 311 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,840 If you spend $10,000 and he did math for us. 312 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,760 And he said, if pints are eight bucks each. 313 00:18:47,790 --> 00:18:52,680 Which is what we said, and you do donate $10,000 to save $7 a pint. 314 00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:59,700 You need to drink 1,428.6 pints to break even. That's a lot of beers. 315 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,190 I think we said, what do we say, like 13 or 1400. 316 00:19:02,190 --> 00:19:05,070 So we weren't far off. Yeah. Well, you I think you guessed it. 317 00:19:05,070 --> 00:19:09,660 I was just in awe still. But yeah. So anyways, thanks for doing the 318 00:19:09,660 --> 00:19:14,490 math for us. And 10,000. That's a lot of money to drink. 319 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,690 Yeah, I'd like to say I haven't spent that much money on beer, 320 00:19:18,690 --> 00:19:21,300 but we all know. Well, that's not the point. 321 00:19:21,930 --> 00:19:28,980 But that is definitely not the point. The point is, is this said Taphouse, 322 00:19:28,980 --> 00:19:33,150 or it was like a taphouse opening up, right? Brewery. Oh, it was a brewery. 323 00:19:33,180 --> 00:19:36,000 They wanted to, like, expand their taproom or something like that. 324 00:19:36,030 --> 00:19:39,960 Okay. That's what it was. So you have to wonder, 325 00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:44,560 are they going to be around that long for you to make your money back, 326 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,060 right? Like that ten grand donation? It doesn't. 327 00:19:49,090 --> 00:19:52,120 It's not necessarily going to go far. Yeah. 328 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:55,870 I mean, I donated 50 bucks to a Kickstarter or whatever for a 329 00:19:55,870 --> 00:19:58,330 brewery that never opened. I'm still mad about that. 330 00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:01,990 Sheesh. Let alone ten grand. That's a little rough. 331 00:20:02,050 --> 00:20:04,390 Yeah, that 50 bucks supposed to get a free 332 00:20:04,390 --> 00:20:07,780 beer and your name up on the wall. How many tacos you could get 333 00:20:07,780 --> 00:20:10,330 with 50 bucks? Oh, you know, like, 334 00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:13,930 that's what crosses my mind. That's why I don't gamble. Yeah. 335 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,580 Same. You know, it's like you lose money 336 00:20:15,580 --> 00:20:18,910 and I'm like, well, you could have used that money on this or this or 337 00:20:18,910 --> 00:20:23,920 this and. Yeah, it's just fucking. It's gone. Yeah. 338 00:20:23,950 --> 00:20:26,590 It's why, like, if I'm in Vegas and I decide to 339 00:20:26,590 --> 00:20:29,890 go hit up a casino or something, I will set an amount like I'm not 340 00:20:29,890 --> 00:20:34,780 spending more than whatever it is. 300 bucks this weekend on gambling. 341 00:20:34,810 --> 00:20:35,950 Okay. And then to me, 342 00:20:35,980 --> 00:20:40,090 it becomes paying for entertainment. You're paying for something to do. 343 00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:43,820 And I'm okay with that. Okay. that. That's an interesting way to 344 00:20:43,820 --> 00:20:45,770 look at it. I've never thought of it that way. 345 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,570 And that 300 bucks could last me five minutes if I'm an idiot or 346 00:20:50,570 --> 00:20:53,240 if I'm doing all right. Maybe it lasts me the whole weekend. 347 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,630 Maybe I make a few bucks. But I have decided I'm willing to 348 00:20:56,660 --> 00:21:01,520 part with $300 to have a good time. Okay. And then. 349 00:21:01,550 --> 00:21:03,770 And then it's just like buying tickets to something, you know? 350 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,080 I'm buying tickets to the roulette table, basically. 351 00:21:06,410 --> 00:21:10,610 You know, I like that concept of you're just paying for entertainment. 352 00:21:10,850 --> 00:21:13,700 Yeah, because you pay if you went to a show or anything else. 353 00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:17,450 Yeah, I guess it makes sense. But you know, like my buddy, 354 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,930 we used to go and back in our single days and he'd lose 500 bucks. Go. 355 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,100 Well, now I got to win it back and then, you know, $3,000 later. Right. 356 00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:28,640 That is, that is still trying to win it back to go about it. Yeah. 357 00:21:28,670 --> 00:21:32,210 First of all, you'll never win it back. Even if you do. You don't. 358 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,960 Especially when you have that feel that need that you have to like. 359 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,740 You have to try to get it right. That never works out. Yeah. 360 00:21:39,740 --> 00:21:41,910 When the pressure's on, you'll never win. 361 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,710 So especially when you're playing stuff like, 362 00:21:43,740 --> 00:21:47,100 I always play craps and roulette. Like I don't play skill things like, 363 00:21:47,130 --> 00:21:51,150 you know, poker or something. I, I like craps, I like roulette 364 00:21:51,390 --> 00:21:55,890 because craps has some skill to it. But yeah. So a little bit. 365 00:21:55,890 --> 00:21:58,740 But like blackjack, there's tons of like, do's and 366 00:21:58,740 --> 00:22:03,570 don'ts and rights and wrongs. And, uh, last year at work, 367 00:22:03,570 --> 00:22:08,040 we played a lot of blackjack, like post shifts, have a, you know, 368 00:22:08,070 --> 00:22:11,310 shift beer and hang out in the garage and play a couple hands. 369 00:22:11,940 --> 00:22:16,620 I don't remember what is good, what is when you hit, 370 00:22:16,620 --> 00:22:20,520 when you don't hit, when it's, um, what's what's the fucking word 371 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,700 when you're trying to be like, kind to somebody, it's like, uh, 372 00:22:24,570 --> 00:22:28,560 I can't fucking remember, but it's like, uh, you don't hit 373 00:22:28,590 --> 00:22:33,510 on certain cards or certain hands because it's not good for this 374 00:22:33,510 --> 00:22:37,200 person next to you or oh, really? So on and so forth. Oh, yeah. 375 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,740 There's like, oh, who gives a shit? I'm here to win, they say. 376 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,850 On certain hands, if people hit, there's people that will get up 377 00:22:45,850 --> 00:22:48,550 and walk away from the table. That's their problem. 378 00:22:48,550 --> 00:22:52,150 Because it is the wrong thing to do when you are playing at the table. 379 00:22:52,180 --> 00:22:55,180 That sounds like a you problem. I'm just trying to win money. 380 00:22:55,210 --> 00:22:57,970 It blew. My mind. That's insane. I've never heard that before. 381 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,160 Oh, yeah. Blackjack is the one card game 382 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,020 where someone's like, hey, we have to go play cards. 383 00:23:02,050 --> 00:23:05,290 Like, all right, I'll play blackjack. It's not a poker fan. 384 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,290 Yeah, poker is not that fun to me. It's boring. 385 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,280 There's too much shit to remember. We're talking, like, five card draw. 386 00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:16,510 Are we talking like Texas Hold'em? Yes. Okay. 387 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,540 If I'm going to play poker, like. Yeah, five card draw. 388 00:23:19,570 --> 00:23:24,010 I'm a little more into than Texas Hold'em, but I just. None of it. 389 00:23:24,010 --> 00:23:25,990 I don't want any of it. Give me some blackjack. 390 00:23:25,990 --> 00:23:27,490 But really, I want craps and roulette. 391 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,370 Those are my games in Vegas. Okay. Fair enough. 392 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,810 I'm like some old person. At the. Craps table. 393 00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:37,870 I just I love being at the roulette table, and people are like, what's 394 00:23:37,870 --> 00:23:40,380 your strategy? Like, I don't know. Find the guy who's making a bunch of 395 00:23:40,380 --> 00:23:44,310 money and do whatever he's doing. That's not a bad idea. 396 00:23:45,630 --> 00:23:47,790 There's one guy. One time I was at this table. 397 00:23:47,790 --> 00:23:49,770 This guy. I don't know if he had strategy or 398 00:23:49,770 --> 00:23:51,780 if he just liked certain numbers. He was. 399 00:23:51,780 --> 00:23:57,450 Just went in fucking spin after spin after spin. I just did what he did. 400 00:23:57,810 --> 00:24:01,410 I made a bunch of money. How'd you do it? 401 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,060 I don't know, that guy seemed pretty smart. 402 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,410 That never would have even crossed my mind. You know? 403 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,570 Because it's not like poker where you can't see what he's doing. 404 00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:11,520 Yeah. You know, it's. It's out in the public. 405 00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:14,790 It's out there. Yeah. This guy's going 32. So am I. 406 00:24:14,970 --> 00:24:19,770 Put it all on 32. Motherfuckers. Jeez. Maybe I should try that. 407 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,320 Yeah, it's good times. I don't go to the casino ever. 408 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,010 But maybe now I'm just going to walk around and just take some peeks. 409 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,860 He's doing well and just trying to piggyback that. 410 00:24:28,890 --> 00:24:31,980 Or I tell you, like, if I'm walking through a casino and I 411 00:24:31,980 --> 00:24:34,920 see that there's like a roulette table that just had, you know, 412 00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:40,000 ten reds in a row, just ripe for a black. I will just stop up. 413 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,600 Hold on. 20 bucks on black. You know, just like. No way. 414 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,670 It's not going to hit black this. Time, right? 415 00:24:45,670 --> 00:24:48,700 And I'll just, you know, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. 416 00:24:48,700 --> 00:24:54,340 But the numbers person in me is like, you can't go for an 11th red. 417 00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:58,600 It's got to go black. Law of probability. Mhm. 418 00:24:58,870 --> 00:25:01,660 And then I get sucked in. But that's a different story. 419 00:25:02,530 --> 00:25:06,640 Never go over that 300 bucks. Anyways not not a gambling show. 420 00:25:06,670 --> 00:25:09,580 Not a gambling show. Uh, before we find out what you're 421 00:25:09,580 --> 00:25:12,640 drinking over there, one last thing. Got hit up by a mutual friend of 422 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,670 ours. I won't say who it is. Only because I didn't ask him if 423 00:25:15,670 --> 00:25:19,900 I could talk about this or not. But they have an investment in a 424 00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:24,580 brewery and was saying like, hey, what do you see? 425 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,860 Uh, as far as, like, not only beer trends, but activities working to get 426 00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:33,850 people in the door of a brewery. We have a lot of great music. 427 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:39,050 We have a lot of great events. We have a lot of people coming in, 428 00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:44,390 but we could use some more and especially like certain days or, 429 00:25:44,420 --> 00:25:47,630 you know, significantly slower than others. Okay. 430 00:25:47,870 --> 00:25:51,110 And so I said, well, first of all, I gave them the Flex and Greg speech. 431 00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:55,520 I said, put some hoses on tap sheets and I'll be sucking at 432 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,870 the teat first of all. Uh, I said, but, you know, 433 00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:01,940 I don't know what's on your tap list right now. 434 00:26:01,940 --> 00:26:05,330 But one thing that's really important to me, beer wise, is some stuff 435 00:26:05,330 --> 00:26:09,320 that's not seven, eight, 9%. Give me some lower ABV shit so I can 436 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,600 have 2 or 3 and still drive home. Right. 437 00:26:11,630 --> 00:26:15,050 There was a brewery that does not exist out here anymore, 438 00:26:15,050 --> 00:26:19,370 and they always were, you know, low end of their beers were like 439 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,210 eight, nine, 10%. Oh, wow. That's that was the low end. 440 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,730 That was yeah. Rarely, you know, they had one 441 00:26:25,730 --> 00:26:28,850 blonde which I wasn't a huge fan of. And then everything else was like, 442 00:26:29,210 --> 00:26:32,180 yeah, everything else was like double IPAs and all this other shit. 443 00:26:32,210 --> 00:26:34,880 It's like, hey, man, I want to have two, three beers, 444 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,040 hang out and still be able to. Make it you have TVs and you always 445 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,940 have like sporting events on, you have gotta have you gotta 446 00:26:41,940 --> 00:26:45,270 have vloggers. Yeah. So I told him sessionable shit 447 00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:48,210 pails goes. And I said the nice thing about 448 00:26:48,210 --> 00:26:51,600 a goza or a sour somewhere in that category is it's unique. 449 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,400 Not everybody has one. So you can go, hey, 450 00:26:53,430 --> 00:26:56,970 come try our whatever it is goes there or something. Right. 451 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,120 And and just make sure your beer tenders educate people on what it 452 00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:03,210 is if they don't know what it is. Hey, this goes it's a little sour 453 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,450 not to, you know, a little salty. It's it's fun. Have a taste. 454 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,190 And I said in terms of events, at least out here, I don't know 455 00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:15,810 if you've seen this out here at breweries, bingo seems to be 456 00:27:15,810 --> 00:27:19,500 popping up more and more. Have not. Seen that. That sounds awesome. 457 00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:22,410 Well, the only thing is it's only popping up at the breweries 458 00:27:22,410 --> 00:27:26,010 that are not doing well. So I said, don't have bingo. 459 00:27:26,010 --> 00:27:28,350 It's a sign that you're a. Sign you're not doing well. 460 00:27:28,350 --> 00:27:34,890 Yeah. That is funny. Um, I've also seen comedy nights are 461 00:27:34,890 --> 00:27:39,760 only at breweries that are not doing well. That would not make draw me in. 462 00:27:40,090 --> 00:27:42,940 Yeah. Not really. I mean, I like a good comedian, 463 00:27:42,970 --> 00:27:46,930 you know, but like, I went to one at a brewery that just closed at 464 00:27:46,930 --> 00:27:49,690 the very beginning of the year, or maybe right before New Year's, 465 00:27:49,690 --> 00:27:52,630 we went to one like a month before they closed because we knew 466 00:27:52,660 --> 00:27:55,090 people going and like, hey, come, my friend's going to perform. 467 00:27:55,090 --> 00:27:57,460 So we went out and it was fine. Most of the I think I talked 468 00:27:57,460 --> 00:27:59,440 about on the show, most of the comedians sucked. 469 00:27:59,470 --> 00:28:02,560 There was one that was decent. It just it was a sign of a dying 470 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,790 brewery. And then like a month later, 471 00:28:03,790 --> 00:28:07,930 they died. So, um, yeah, I said, don't do bingo, 472 00:28:07,930 --> 00:28:12,280 don't do comedy nights. Uh, trivia is pretty classic. 473 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,150 Most breweries have like a trivia night. We all know I love trivia. 474 00:28:16,180 --> 00:28:18,970 You do. You love it? Eagle Park last week, 475 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,240 what I thought was really cool. They did. Twice this year. 476 00:28:22,270 --> 00:28:26,890 They had a brewery up from Illinois, and they had a brewery down from 477 00:28:26,890 --> 00:28:31,840 Minnesota for like Packers-bears Packers Vikings game. 478 00:28:32,110 --> 00:28:36,260 So then those breweries brought on some guest apps. Sure. 479 00:28:36,290 --> 00:28:39,320 And then they did, you know, some giveaways during the games, 480 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,860 touchdown shots, you know, because they distill and have full 481 00:28:42,860 --> 00:28:46,340 bar and everything like that as well. Something like that for like sporting 482 00:28:46,340 --> 00:28:52,250 events is always kind of a how do you, you know, make that even better, 483 00:28:52,550 --> 00:28:55,700 like a go for a ball game, a baseball game, football game. 484 00:28:55,700 --> 00:29:00,110 Just make a spectacle of it. Yeah. Make it a, you know, make it a party. 485 00:29:00,140 --> 00:29:02,030 Yeah, a baseball party. Because then from everything I've 486 00:29:02,030 --> 00:29:03,980 heard, people would get their, you know, when they opened up at 487 00:29:03,980 --> 00:29:07,730 11 and some of those gas taps would already or guest taps would 488 00:29:07,730 --> 00:29:11,780 already be killed by 1230 1:00. That's pretty good. 489 00:29:11,810 --> 00:29:14,750 That would really get people in the doors. That's smart. 490 00:29:14,780 --> 00:29:18,110 I've never seen that where they bring up a brewery or whatever 491 00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:21,020 from that region of the team. And then that's the last one 492 00:29:21,020 --> 00:29:23,180 they did. They did, uh, because their 493 00:29:23,180 --> 00:29:28,130 parking lot is pretty enormous. They got a field goal post and 494 00:29:28,130 --> 00:29:30,380 they held a field goal kicking competition. 495 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:36,510 Okay, so that's just another like. Sounds dumb but fun. And it looked. 496 00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:38,850 There was a shit ton of people crowded around watching these 497 00:29:38,850 --> 00:29:44,010 guys just try and kick. So. And I bet you could even do like free 498 00:29:44,010 --> 00:29:47,550 entry into the field goal contest if you buy a beer or something. 499 00:29:47,610 --> 00:29:49,350 Yeah, like. Get a raffle ticket. Well, 500 00:29:49,350 --> 00:29:52,230 that's how they did all the raffles. You buy a beer, you get a ticket, 501 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,770 and then every commercial break they would raffle off a t shirt 502 00:29:55,770 --> 00:29:59,190 or a hat or a four pack of beer or something like that. 503 00:29:59,190 --> 00:30:02,400 So yeah, just really gets people in. Yeah, I really liked I really like 504 00:30:02,430 --> 00:30:04,710 that field goal contest I did. I mean, 505 00:30:04,740 --> 00:30:08,730 because that's fairly easy to do. You set up a the outside and. Yeah. 506 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,120 Or you could do like a football throwing contest or something, 507 00:30:12,150 --> 00:30:15,360 you know, mark it up with some chalk on the tip and you know, 508 00:30:15,390 --> 00:30:19,440 see where it hits. Yeah. Pretty easy. That's I like that a lot. 509 00:30:19,470 --> 00:30:24,240 So so yeah hope hope that helps. And then also you know it's good 510 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,200 for the breweries too because you know everybody knows if you work 511 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,570 at a brewery, you know somebody works at another brewery. 512 00:30:30,570 --> 00:30:33,820 And you know, you gain friendships and you know, 513 00:30:33,850 --> 00:30:37,720 through collaborations and whatnot. So that was another thing I said 514 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,170 collab, collab, collab, anybody that will put your name 515 00:30:41,170 --> 00:30:44,560 on your menu on their menu board. I feel like collaborations 516 00:30:44,770 --> 00:30:48,160 haven't been frequent lately. Like, I feel like they've kind 517 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,860 of dying out. Yeah. I wonder if they got a little 518 00:30:50,860 --> 00:30:52,750 fucked out during Covid. People were doing all their like, 519 00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:56,320 zoom beer collabs and stuff, but but I mean, it's smart. 520 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,540 You get your name on someone else's menu board. 521 00:30:58,690 --> 00:31:01,630 That is another cool thing that EP does, is they have an entire 522 00:31:01,660 --> 00:31:07,060 beer fest with collabs from other breweries, and they bring all of 523 00:31:07,060 --> 00:31:10,660 these guys in for the fest as well. And it's like, hey, 524 00:31:10,660 --> 00:31:14,860 they brewed this beer with us. And so every beer is Eagle Park and 525 00:31:14,860 --> 00:31:19,450 so and so Eagle Park and so and so and um, then they come out with two, 526 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,380 six packs, like a 12 pack variety of every single beer that 527 00:31:23,380 --> 00:31:27,040 they're releasing at the fest. And then you can buy those. 528 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,350 And so that's really smart. I mean, it's. 529 00:31:29,380 --> 00:31:33,080 A it's a really, really fun idea. Yeah, I like that a lot. 530 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,730 And that it's always hosted around 420. So joint fest they call it. 531 00:31:37,730 --> 00:31:42,500 And yeah bro it works. It works really well. I dig it. 532 00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:44,450 That's actually really smart. I like that a lot. 533 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,590 So, um, hopefully he's listening and and hopefully something's helpful or 534 00:31:48,590 --> 00:31:51,500 hopefully someone else is listening. It's helpful. Who knows. 535 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,610 Anywho, speaking of beer, you looking thirsty over there? In a world. 536 00:31:55,610 --> 00:31:59,990 Where craft beer is king, a world where muscles are bigger 537 00:31:59,990 --> 00:32:03,500 than growlers, only one tongue can guide us. 538 00:32:03,530 --> 00:32:08,900 One man, one tongue, one tongue jabber. 539 00:32:09,260 --> 00:32:17,810 In this world we must find out what. Is flax drinking. All right. 540 00:32:17,810 --> 00:32:26,270 Well, today flex is drinking new beer I picked up today. Um. 541 00:32:26,270 --> 00:32:29,390 There's only. It's so new. There's only 28 check ins on Untappd. 542 00:32:29,420 --> 00:32:34,050 So not 72,000? 2000. No. Yeah. It's like a complete opposite of 543 00:32:34,050 --> 00:32:36,180 yours. Uh, so this beer is called off 544 00:32:36,210 --> 00:32:39,060 season, and it is from Three Sheeps Brewing Company. 545 00:32:39,060 --> 00:32:42,960 They're up about an hour north of me in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Sheboygan. 546 00:32:42,990 --> 00:32:49,800 Um, this is an Imperial Hazy IPA, 28 check ins, a three, nine, three. 547 00:32:50,010 --> 00:32:54,900 And, uh, they say here in Imperial Hazy IPA, 548 00:32:54,900 --> 00:32:59,490 inspired by the quiet calm of winter, which you really don't know about. 549 00:32:59,670 --> 00:33:04,590 Um, when the crowds have thinned and the town slows to a standstill, 550 00:33:04,620 --> 00:33:08,700 bursting with juicy pineapple, tropical lime, and sweet fruit 551 00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:13,080 flavors, this brew offers a smooth, full bodied texture that's perfect 552 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,760 for savoring the slower pace. Embrace the stillness and make 553 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:23,220 the most of the off season. This bad boy rings in at 8.5%. Mm. 554 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:30,060 It smells. Get a little whiff here. So the flavors the aroma isn't, 555 00:33:30,330 --> 00:33:32,500 like pungent. It's not like hitting you in the 556 00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:35,860 nose. Sure. Light flavors, 557 00:33:35,860 --> 00:33:40,330 kind of hoppy on the back end. Get a little bit of that citrus lime, 558 00:33:40,330 --> 00:33:43,630 I'm assuming. So warm up the old tongue. 559 00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:50,980 Tongue job here. Ooh. Oh. It's warm. Okay, so similar to the aroma. 560 00:33:51,010 --> 00:33:55,780 The flavors aren't huge, but you do get a little of that pineapple. 561 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,860 Definitely feeling that lime. And you get, uh, again, 562 00:33:59,890 --> 00:34:03,370 like some hoppiness, some dank on that back end. 563 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,590 The dank is slight, but you definitely get, like, 564 00:34:05,620 --> 00:34:09,640 those hoppy flavors. Um, it's a really enjoyable beer. 565 00:34:09,670 --> 00:34:18,370 There's no whatsoever hint of that 8.5% ABV. So this drinks really nice. 566 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:25,390 Uh. The color, it's like this bright. It's hazy, but it's not murky. 567 00:34:25,420 --> 00:34:27,430 Yeah, it's not the thickest beer you've ever seen. 568 00:34:27,460 --> 00:34:33,020 Yeah, it's, uh, lighter bodied than you would think for an 8.5 and all 569 00:34:33,020 --> 00:34:37,940 around I'd say a 3.9 is superb, I hope. I hope it stays there. 570 00:34:37,970 --> 00:34:41,570 That's a really good score for this and I'm not mad about it. 571 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,630 Yeah. Sounds delicious. Little tropical fruit salad. 572 00:34:44,660 --> 00:34:48,080 Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was solid. I can't wait to drink the next three. 573 00:34:48,110 --> 00:34:51,920 Actually. One down, three to go. Look out. Daddy! 574 00:34:51,950 --> 00:34:55,460 Like I'll stop saying daddy. Did you say daddy all you want? 575 00:34:55,490 --> 00:34:59,900 Yeah. Oh, daddy. It's been a while. It has been a while. All right. 576 00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:02,060 A little news before we get out of here. Yeah. Bad news. 577 00:35:02,090 --> 00:35:05,240 Not a daddy show. Not a daddy show. Well, when you're around, 578 00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:10,670 it kind of is. Daddy, daddy. Bad news to report. 579 00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:15,200 Non-alcoholic beer. Had a record dry January in 580 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,720 grocery stores. They claimed 4.2% of the beer share 581 00:35:20,930 --> 00:35:25,100 in grocery store sales. That's gross. What's wrong with you people? Yeah. 582 00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:29,220 Uh, some potential good news for the people down in Georgia. 583 00:35:29,430 --> 00:35:33,330 Georgia lawmakers are considering legalizing self-distribution for 584 00:35:33,330 --> 00:35:39,540 breweries. Why wouldn't they? Because money and stupid laws 585 00:35:39,570 --> 00:35:43,830 and backwardness. Stupid. Yeah. The Craft Beer and Local Economy 586 00:35:43,830 --> 00:35:48,870 Revitalization Act, SB 122, would permit small breweries to sell up to 587 00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:52,740 3000 barrels annually to retailers licensed in the state that are 588 00:35:52,740 --> 00:35:58,680 located within a 100 mile radius of the small Brewers licensed premises. 589 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:07,140 If adopted, SB 122 would also remove the 288 ounce per person daily cap 590 00:36:07,170 --> 00:36:11,310 on off premise sales at taprooms. However, it would limit beer to 591 00:36:11,340 --> 00:36:15,390 go sales at 6000 barrels in the aggregate among all brewers 592 00:36:15,390 --> 00:36:20,280 licensed permit premises, making such sales so you can only 593 00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:25,440 sell up to sell up to 6000 barrels if you want to be self-distributed. 594 00:36:25,470 --> 00:36:28,270 Well, usually the smaller guys are the ones that do that anyway. 595 00:36:28,270 --> 00:36:30,940 So. Right, exactly. I think that wouldn't be that 596 00:36:30,940 --> 00:36:34,630 hard to keep it under 6000. No, not at all. And to go. Sales. 597 00:36:34,660 --> 00:36:38,770 And then if you're able to get your beer out there, then you should be 598 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,830 able to get your beer out there. Right. Then you get to spread. 599 00:36:41,830 --> 00:36:44,680 You grow. You get it? Yeah. You get an actual distributor and. 600 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,020 Yeah. So yeah. Do it. Fucking do it, Georgia. 601 00:36:47,050 --> 00:36:54,130 Do it right in the butt. Just do it. What what I said what what, uh, 602 00:36:54,310 --> 00:37:00,790 one of the not one of the the largest shareholder of Sapporo Stone slams 603 00:37:00,790 --> 00:37:05,260 Sapporo for their $91 million impairment on Stone brewing. 604 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,920 So we all know what an impairment is. I think we learned about this 605 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,570 thanks to Ballast Point. Basically, 606 00:37:10,570 --> 00:37:13,840 when you way overspend on something, in this case a brewery, and it's 607 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,290 not worth what you paid for it, you can make an impairment that just 608 00:37:17,290 --> 00:37:19,600 says like, whoops, we spent too much. It's not worth that money. 609 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,660 And I think you get some tax breaks on it too when you do that. 610 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,990 Um, Sapporo Holdings has taken in more than 91.5 million 5 million 611 00:37:26,990 --> 00:37:30,560 impairment charge on the goodwill of its stone brewing business, which 612 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:36,740 they bought for nearly 165 million. So more? Well over half. Geez. 613 00:37:37,580 --> 00:37:40,430 The impairment charge announced on January 30th was met with 614 00:37:40,430 --> 00:37:46,040 criticism by 3D Investment Partners. They issued an open letter to 615 00:37:46,070 --> 00:37:49,400 Sapporo's board of directors reiterating concerns regarding 616 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,380 the company's severe lack of capital discipline amid repeated 617 00:37:54,380 --> 00:37:59,600 large scale impairments from 3D Investment Partners, a Singapore 618 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,730 based investment fund manager which Reuters reported is the largest 619 00:38:04,730 --> 00:38:09,050 individual investor in Sapporo. They issued an open letter to 620 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,460 Sapporo's board of directors expressing concerns regarding the 621 00:38:13,460 --> 00:38:19,130 company's severe lack of capital discipline amid repeated large scale 622 00:38:19,130 --> 00:38:23,570 impairments and strong disappointment and concern over the stone writedown. 623 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,510 They wrote unfortunately, the stone impairment was not the first time 624 00:38:27,510 --> 00:38:30,870 Sapporo destroyed shareholder capital through acquisitions. 625 00:38:30,870 --> 00:38:33,180 In fact, Sapporo has recorded impairment 626 00:38:33,180 --> 00:38:38,340 losses on all of its acquisitions of overseas alcohol beverage business, 627 00:38:38,430 --> 00:38:44,070 including Sleeman Breweries, Sapporo, Vietnam, Anchor Brewing and Stone. 628 00:38:44,430 --> 00:38:47,970 I was like, oh yeah, I forgot they fucked up everything they bought. 629 00:38:48,270 --> 00:38:51,630 That's. I forgot about anchor. That's wild. Yeah. 630 00:38:51,660 --> 00:38:55,380 Makes you think who's behind all these sales. Right? 631 00:38:55,410 --> 00:38:58,320 Or the purchases, I should say. Yeah. Some idiot. 632 00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:02,670 The cumulative impairment loss of those acquired brands amounted 633 00:39:02,670 --> 00:39:08,190 to more than $250 million. So it goes on with more numbers 634 00:39:08,190 --> 00:39:10,170 and details. But I think that's enough for now. 635 00:39:10,770 --> 00:39:14,310 Uh, Baltimore Ravens, Ravens offensive line Ben 636 00:39:14,310 --> 00:39:19,560 Cleveland was arrested for DUI. Baltimore Ravens Ol Ben Cleveland was 637 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:25,570 arrested for DUI last week after blowing a staggering 0.178 Eight when 638 00:39:25,570 --> 00:39:28,390 a breathalyzer was administered. I know what you're thinking. 639 00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:31,030 That's only a little over double. It's not like. 640 00:39:31,060 --> 00:39:35,470 Well, and he's an offensive lineman, right? So what is his stature? 641 00:39:35,470 --> 00:39:40,300 It's like he's like six five, 330 or something like that. Six six. 642 00:39:40,330 --> 00:39:46,480 360. Oh, jeez. I was way off. Yeah. Teams reports in Milledgeville, 643 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,430 Georgia. Police pulled over Cleveland 644 00:39:48,430 --> 00:39:51,520 over on February 12th after observing him driving 645 00:39:51,550 --> 00:39:55,810 erratically in his Ford F-250. Officers claim that Cleveland 646 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,320 nearly drove the vehicle into a ditch before being pulled off. 647 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,980 When asked if he'd been drinking drinking, Cleveland told police he 648 00:40:02,980 --> 00:40:12,880 had approximately 3 or 4 beers. Damn it. At six six, 360. 649 00:40:12,910 --> 00:40:15,610 Feel like it might take more than 3 or 4 beers to blow a 650 00:40:15,610 --> 00:40:20,710 0.178 on a breathalyzer, unless. He counts pitchers as just beers. 651 00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:22,210 Maybe. Maybe he's doing some Andre the 652 00:40:22,210 --> 00:40:25,250 Giant math or something. I've seen some guys just order 653 00:40:25,250 --> 00:40:27,920 pitchers before. Yeah. And then they just drink right 654 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,170 out of them. Yeah. In fact, 655 00:40:30,170 --> 00:40:33,680 while back is not an exact science. Alcohol and drug rehab centers. 656 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,710 Addiction treatment information. A website dedicated to reducing 657 00:40:36,710 --> 00:40:39,650 alcohol addiction states that Cleveland would need to have had 658 00:40:39,650 --> 00:40:45,170 around 16 beers in a three hour span if they were each 5%, 659 00:40:45,170 --> 00:40:50,090 in order to produce that result. Oof! He failed multiple sobriety 660 00:40:50,090 --> 00:40:52,850 tests and was then arrested and taken to a nearby jail. 661 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,330 Once there, police administered another breathalyzer test, which 662 00:40:56,330 --> 00:41:02,270 still returned a 0.161, so still over double at that point. Oh, boy. 663 00:41:02,330 --> 00:41:05,990 Yeah. Big boy. Been drinking. You know, I would bet that if, 664 00:41:06,020 --> 00:41:08,210 you know, you're you're a big boy and it takes you a ton of 665 00:41:08,210 --> 00:41:11,540 beers to get that drunk. Probably takes longer for them 666 00:41:11,540 --> 00:41:14,570 to get out of your system, too, because you had so much. 667 00:41:15,050 --> 00:41:20,960 Well, if he's £360, his metabolism is probably not great. 668 00:41:21,350 --> 00:41:23,580 That might be true. For it probably sticks in his the 669 00:41:23,580 --> 00:41:27,870 system a little longer. That sense? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. 670 00:41:28,020 --> 00:41:31,920 Not a scientist? No, not a scientist. Not a science show. 671 00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:34,920 Just a little bit of science. That boy. Was drunk. 672 00:41:34,950 --> 00:41:38,190 It's a good thing for the cops that he didn't get a little unruly. 673 00:41:38,910 --> 00:41:42,570 That's a big boy. Well, I mean, they got tasers, 674 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:47,580 you know. True. Or worse. Well. But. Yeah, glad they didn't have to use 675 00:41:47,580 --> 00:41:50,910 it. Yeah. No excessive force here. Yeah, exactly. 676 00:41:50,940 --> 00:41:54,090 Just excessive drinking. Ooh. Big fella. 677 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,590 You know, sometimes when I drive home randomly, like, from work, I'll, uh, 678 00:41:58,860 --> 00:42:03,000 go through the ABCs backwards in my head. Oh, just to test yourself. 679 00:42:03,030 --> 00:42:07,530 Yeah, I got it down pretty well. Yeah. I can't do it sober. 680 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:17,550 Really? Z y x. WVU t s rcpo nml k j I h g f e d 681 00:42:17,550 --> 00:42:21,180 c b a. You fuck something up. You said n m l. 682 00:42:21,210 --> 00:42:24,250 Oh, no, that is right. NML MLK. Yeah. Yeah. 683 00:42:24,250 --> 00:42:27,370 That might, I might not I think I trailed off at the end there. 684 00:42:27,370 --> 00:42:30,160 I forgot a couple, but, uh. Yeah, I hear a niner. 685 00:42:31,750 --> 00:42:34,090 Yeah, sometimes they just do it in my head like 2 or 3 times. 686 00:42:34,090 --> 00:42:37,360 I'm like, that's funny. Yeah. Back. You know, back in my day, 687 00:42:37,390 --> 00:42:39,790 before Uber was really a thing. And I'd go out drinking with the 688 00:42:39,790 --> 00:42:42,520 fellas or something. My test was always, uh. 689 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,910 Because the one thing I've had to do multiple times when being pulled over 690 00:42:45,910 --> 00:42:49,720 was. Have you been pulled over a. Couple times? Yeah. Okay. 691 00:42:49,810 --> 00:42:52,630 And they had me like, get out. And I have, you know, no DUIs, 692 00:42:52,660 --> 00:42:55,870 knock on wood. I've been okay. But, uh, they would always have 693 00:42:55,870 --> 00:43:01,390 me close my eyes, look up, and then count to 30 silently. 694 00:43:01,390 --> 00:43:04,810 And when I get to 30, put my head down, open my eyes. 695 00:43:04,870 --> 00:43:08,950 And it's just a test to see. Like, are you within an acceptable 696 00:43:08,950 --> 00:43:10,870 range? Like. Or are you. And you're like one, two, three, 697 00:43:10,870 --> 00:43:12,940 four, five, six, seven, eight, you know, something like that. 698 00:43:12,970 --> 00:43:16,960 Interesting. Little do the cops know, I used 699 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,570 to work. You know, I work in TV. I used to work in live news. 700 00:43:19,570 --> 00:43:23,870 And as the director, All I did all the time was count people in. 701 00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:27,140 So I'd be there all the time. All right, everybody, stand by. 702 00:43:27,170 --> 00:43:33,050 We're going live in 10s nine eight. So I was really good at counting down 703 00:43:33,050 --> 00:43:35,780 from ten three times like three. Close your eyes. 704 00:43:35,810 --> 00:43:40,310 All right, everybody, here we go. 30s 1029. 705 00:43:40,790 --> 00:43:44,090 I just did to ten three times. And then I remember one time I 706 00:43:44,090 --> 00:43:46,700 put my head down, open my eyes, and the one cop looks at his 707 00:43:46,700 --> 00:43:50,990 partner and was like, mm. A little bit of a ah, wow reaction. 708 00:43:51,140 --> 00:43:54,590 I was like, thanks, gentlemen. Can I go now? Damn. 709 00:43:54,590 --> 00:43:59,660 So that's legit good times. So yeah. Anyway, so my self test is, uh, 710 00:43:59,660 --> 00:44:03,320 I have sat there in my car and I've, you know, hit the stopwatch on my 711 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:09,230 phone and then closed my eyes. Ten. Nine. Eight. See how close I am? 712 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,250 Oh, I love it. Yeah. I love how ridiculous we are. 713 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:19,820 So stupid. Yeah. So I've heard the big one here too, 714 00:44:19,850 --> 00:44:23,730 is you stand on one leg and you touch your nose. Mhm. 715 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,270 And apparently what they're looking for is just to see if you're 716 00:44:27,270 --> 00:44:32,610 falling or getting off balance that you can catch yourself. Yes. 717 00:44:32,610 --> 00:44:35,430 It's that you catch yourself and don't fall. Yes. 718 00:44:35,460 --> 00:44:38,070 Because nobody's I mean not nobody but a lot of people aren't good 719 00:44:38,070 --> 00:44:41,670 at standing on one leg sober. No. And then what do you look up and 720 00:44:41,670 --> 00:44:45,150 touch your nose? Yeah. You kind of look up and then, 721 00:44:45,150 --> 00:44:47,760 like, you bring your your finger in from the side. Yeah. 722 00:44:47,790 --> 00:44:50,100 Touch your nose. Yeah. So I mean, they're putting you 723 00:44:50,100 --> 00:44:52,140 in an off balance situation, even if you're sober. 724 00:44:52,140 --> 00:44:55,230 But they want to know if you catch yourself or if you fall on your face. 725 00:44:55,260 --> 00:44:57,270 That's the test. So just make sure you don't fall. 726 00:44:57,270 --> 00:44:58,980 Everybody. I was always worried about the 727 00:44:58,980 --> 00:45:02,400 walking in a straight line because I'm pigeon toed. I can. Oh yeah. 728 00:45:02,430 --> 00:45:06,960 I can not in a straight line sober. So having to walk in a straight 729 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,590 line drunk, I would be terrified. I don't think I've ever had to 730 00:45:10,590 --> 00:45:13,830 do the straight line. It's always, you know, look up, 731 00:45:13,830 --> 00:45:16,110 close your eyes count. Um, 732 00:45:16,140 --> 00:45:18,990 I've had to follow the pen before. Like they put a pen in front of 733 00:45:18,990 --> 00:45:21,880 your face and go side to side. They just want to make sure you 734 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:26,200 can track with it. Um, I've also just done breathalyzer 735 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,530 tests too, which I'm fine. Yeah. I'll blow. Knock on wood. 736 00:45:29,770 --> 00:45:32,980 I've never been pulled over for anything like that. 737 00:45:32,980 --> 00:45:38,050 And I hope I never am. Yeah, keep it that way. Trying. 738 00:45:38,380 --> 00:45:40,780 Yeah. My. My funniest breathalyzer test 739 00:45:40,780 --> 00:45:45,040 was I was not driving, and we were leaving a Padres game. 740 00:45:45,340 --> 00:45:47,710 And outside the stadium, you know, San Diego, they have 741 00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:50,560 good beer at that stadium, right? And we had we had strapped it on 742 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,050 a little bit. And so outside just to like, 743 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,660 prove a point. They were doing breathalyzer tests. 744 00:45:55,930 --> 00:45:59,140 I remember you telling this story before. Yeah. See how drunk you are. 745 00:45:59,140 --> 00:46:01,210 And they were like, how drunk do you think you are? 746 00:46:01,210 --> 00:46:02,740 And then he'd blow and see how close you got. 747 00:46:02,770 --> 00:46:04,300 And so, like, the wife did it and she was dead on. 748 00:46:04,330 --> 00:46:07,210 The wife goes, I think I'm oh, wait, I think I'm right at the 749 00:46:07,210 --> 00:46:10,330 line she blew. Oh, wait, she fucking nailed it. 750 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:15,190 I was like, um, I think I might, I don't know, like a 10 or 11. 751 00:46:16,060 --> 00:46:21,200 It's like a 17. Were you really. You were Cleveland drunk. 752 00:46:21,230 --> 00:46:27,890 I was Cleveland drunk. Oh, the cops like. 753 00:46:27,890 --> 00:46:30,860 Hope you're not driving. I was like, definitely not, sir. 754 00:46:31,460 --> 00:46:34,160 So that was good times. I wonder how many beers it would take 755 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,310 you to get to 17. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, honestly, we've been we 756 00:46:37,340 --> 00:46:40,430 had done, like, beer in San Diego. We'd done beer tasting all day, 757 00:46:40,430 --> 00:46:43,640 and then we'd gone to the game and had some beers at the game. 758 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,280 And so, like, I knew I was buzzy, but I didn't think I was hammered. 759 00:46:46,460 --> 00:46:50,330 Three hour game drinking beers beforehand. We'll call it five hours. 760 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,650 So if he had to drink 16 beers in three hours to get to 17. 761 00:46:55,130 --> 00:46:59,480 Jesus. That'd probably. You're half of his size. 762 00:46:59,750 --> 00:47:02,630 Yeah, well, a little more than half. But, um, 763 00:47:02,930 --> 00:47:06,680 that that math was based on 5% beers. I'm drinking IPAs down in San 764 00:47:06,710 --> 00:47:09,740 Diego that. Is also drinking. That is seven and eight percenters 765 00:47:09,740 --> 00:47:12,980 all day. Probably. This is back. This is back in the West Coast days. 766 00:47:13,010 --> 00:47:16,100 Okay. So yeah, but I mean, 767 00:47:16,100 --> 00:47:19,500 I must have had ten beers that day at least it's hard to tell when 768 00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:23,640 they're most of them are flights, but true. Yeah. Good times. 769 00:47:23,670 --> 00:47:25,770 I was like, all right, I'm gonna call my Uber now. 770 00:47:26,850 --> 00:47:30,180 We weren't driving anyways. That's that's why I submitted myself 771 00:47:30,210 --> 00:47:34,590 to it. Right, right, right. Yeah. So. Hell, yeah. Oh. Good times. 772 00:47:34,620 --> 00:47:37,560 All right, let's wrap things up. Thank you all for listening and 773 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,870 for drinking and for joining and for all those good things. 774 00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:44,100 I'm gonna hit some. Hi, Vanessa. Yeah.
