You know, they call me, uh, big daddy.

Daddy, uh,

Thanks for drink and thanks for joining.

I am Greg.

I'm being joined by the biggest of all DS.

That's Big Plexi over there.

Good Lord.

Well, it's going good now.

Yeah.

Now that we've established some ground rules.

Yeah, yeah.

It's not my favorite of nicknames, but, you know, I'll take it.

But it is the most accurate.

I, you know,

will ask you to prove it later.

But in the meantime, we are being joined by

I think this is like the first time since like July.

Yeah, it's been a long time. Yeah.

Welcome back to the Cool Kids Club.

Thank you.

It's the only club I really belong to.

And in. I mean, I fit right in here. That's right. Welcome.

Welcome back to the podcast that actually puts out podcast.

OC. Shots fired.

I'm not going to lie every week.

Like for the past three weeks it's been like,

yeah, we're not recording this week online.

All right, on my way here tonight, I get a text from Wylie.

Hey, Kohli, we're not recording tomorrow.

I'm like, All right, well, thanks for the heads up.

At least like a day. Before a. Day.

And usually it's like 5 minutes till, you know, I give a little bit more credit

than that for at.

Least 7 minutes.

It's at least like the end of day.

Man. Shots fired.

But let me start a war.

In your mind. Reality.

I feel like you guys can poach me. Where?

We've been trying the papers. Okay.

Tonight's the night.

I feel like at this point in time, it's.

It's inevitable. Okay. You heard of your first.

Sorry, everybody else that cycle through, we found our third permanent.

It's been good.

This is going to be so pissed.

Well, we got to have her on still. Oh, okay.

Every now and then. Yeah.

All right.

Well, if we haven't started a war already, we'll.

We'll make our way through the rest of the show

and see if we can piss off some more people.

Thank you all for drink and join.

Like I said, don't forget your shopping on the old table are promo code unfiltered.

Follow us all at craft beer republic at flex me a beer underscore is in between

and of course cola is at ice cold jolly beer

underscores after each one.

You know, it's always easy to piss off Alabama, though.

Oh, you're. Pretty.

I was just listening to that episode on the way here to get to that. Ted.

Tara said Road to I wrote that I should have this.

Yeah, yeah.

That damn remix fucking killed me.

Oh, God, that should be everyone's ringtone.

Oh, we can do that.

We can do that.

Maybe everyone in Alabama should make it their ringtone road.

That road, that road.

I'm sure it already is.

All it's all. It's all like their own voice.

Like their own personal ringtone.

Is them just doing that?

We should do like, you know, we did like the fake newscast.

We should take a fool like ten minute newscast, show of just roll tide news.

I'm in here.

You have to ask me twice. Would be great. Yeah.

So it shall be done. All right.

We'll work on that.

In the meantime, let's start with some hydration, sir.

Do we just call from Pismo Beach?

He says there's no way he of grab your ass.

Oh, well, it's funny.

It's for everyone who can't see us, which is everyone.

Flex was doing a little night.

The Roxbury dancing there.

Over here we are drinking.

Thanks to the homie Chu.

He hooked us up with this beer and he just got a voicemail.

Later on we are drinking Highland Park Brewery's Timbo pills

508 percent has a very respectable 408 on untapped the brewery.

They say we took inspiration from both German Pilsners and West Coast

IPAs for Timbo Pils, we use more German influenced hops in the kettle,

which gives the beer a softer bitterness and a nice floral and earthy hop base.

We then use Mosaic and Citra for dry hopping to bring out the tropical west

coast flavors of mango, Riesling, grapes and passion fruit.

Interesting combo there.

I would say it's definitely happier than I anticipated

it would be being a pilsner, not knowing that they dry hopped it.

It's great.

It just was not what I expected.

Yeah, a lot of a lot of fruit on the wall, hungover.

Very interesting. It's crisp, it's tropical.

I would say.

I'm I love when people describe beers as bright, by the way, Callie.

I love that.

Yes, I absolutely do. 100%.

Well, this little handcarts

for you, my friend.

I get a lot of the mango.

I don't know that I get the grapes so much, but,

uh, it's like a little tropical crispy vacation once.

It, like, leaves and it finishes if you kind of like,

you know, like, move your tongue in your mouth.

You almost get, like, a white grape juice flavor

once it leaves the what it like.

But a linger. Let it linger. Did you have to let it linger?

Do you have to?

Yeah. You know.

The grape notes in beers really grind my gears.

Oh, you know I say grinds my gears a lot to actually really.

I think we're best friends. I think so.

Because being a produce manager I, you know, I work with grapes

every fucking day and I get, you know, shipments in five days a week.

And every time you get a shipment of grapes in

red, black, green, it doesn't matter.

They're always they taste different every single time.

Yeah.

So and people are like, oh, this tastes like grape or I get these grape notes.

I'm like, wow, do, do you are they they're so

and I just become extremely I get extremely skeptical.

But that's just because it's what I do.

True.

I was just thinking it was more of like a grape juice, like

almost like not a real fruit, like little like.

Some ocean.

Spray. Right.

I'm right on a.

Welch's white grape juice. Grape.

I can I. Can feel that. I can feel that.

But not actual grapes are there like 17 million different

types of grapes like you guys were talking about just a few episodes ago?

Oh, my God.

I mean, yeah, I'm sure there's a shit ton

and all the GMO stuff now that the cotton candy grapes and like.

Oh, I had gum.

The gum dropped grapes. Have you had those.

No, they taste like fruit snacks,

like they're amazing. It's like.

Like those Welch's fruit snacks.

Mm hmm. Yeah, they're just fucking phenomenal.

According to this website, there are over 10,000 different varieties

of wine grapes.

That's just wine grapes. Wow.

That makes sense, I guess. Mhm.

Wow. Wow.

Yeah, I. Know.

I figured I should try to do that.

Wow. That was very own Wilson.

Well that's right. Yeah, that's, I thought, that's what I thought.

That's what he was going for.

That's what I was going for.

Yeah, that's good. That's my wife, right?

Where, you know, there is a few things we're good at here and.

We just did all three. Well.

We really didn't know.

The fourth one is our Boston accents and then that's.

That's brilliant.

These are good.

They're hilarious.

That's good.

In my book, Bingo,

Melissa confirmed that our Boston accents are really New York accents. Yes.

Yeah.

100. Percent.

Get thrown under the bus for that one. Yeah.

All right. Lots to get to today.

I wanted to mention a few things.

Did some really good research over the weekend, hit up Eureka

and stop by Poseidon Brewing, which we've said it on the show.

I don't get there now you love them had some

you know they had an interesting one which I will publicly say I did not like.

But it was exactly what they wanted it to be.

It was a pineapple chocolate lager and it was weird.

I don't think I would try it.

I tried it at just a little taster, you know, like, what the fuck?

I'll give it a shot, but it tasted like pineapple

and as it warmed up, it a little more chocolaty came through.

It's exactly what they wanted it to be.

But boy, was that fucking weird.

And will I never be putting that in my mouth again?

What a strange combination for a lager, she said. Mm.

Yeah, yeah.

I think they had some like Tiki Party and so they were like doing a theme.

So whatever.

But, but the them good, good stuff.

Yeah. I don't get. It dark or milk.

I don't know.

I don't know what they put in there. It didn't.

Was it okay.

Didn't taste necessarily

like dark chocolate but you know, it's been so pineapple and beard.

Who knows what it started off.

I don't even know if they were even have like chocolate covered pineapple.

It's usually like chocolate covered strawberry.

Interesting.

Yeah.

I don't know if beer side if I would want a chocolate covered like pineapple.

It's like dry.

I would not.

Yeah, I don't know.

It's weird, you know, I love pineapple, but just don't don't covered in chocolate.

Yeah. Okay.

I'll take them separately, please.

And thank you.

And then I ended off the weekend with an interview over at Malibu brewing

with Ryan when the co-owners and Heather are brewmaster,

I should say jazz and we drink some tasty beers.

We talk to all about their backgrounds.

I'm excited for this one.

I love Malibu Brewing and their food.

I sort of wish we had the chef.

I'd imagine that's going be a lot of people.

So maybe we'll do two different interviews or something

because the food's so goddamn good.

But fucking Ryan, man, that dude was a lawyer, a real estate broker, a pilot.

He graduated from the Navy's only balls.

Yeah. Yeah. Overachiever much.

Yeah, he graduated from their nuclear engineering school.

He couldn't get a job out of the.

Osakis as the most interesting man in the world.

Yeah, that's what it sounds like. You know, he's good looking. Dude, you.

You could. You could be the.

Guy to.

Super nice guy. I was just like, God damn, this guy's a fucking genius.

His mom gets a heart tattoo with sun on it.

You know.

How interesting is.

They should do a series of commercials with him and try not to.

It sounds like was okay.

Yeah. So anyways, it was a fun episode.

Fun interview.

I can't wait till it drops in a few weeks.

Be looking out for that.

And also I'm not going to say who it's with, but we're working on a new

collab beer with a local brewery and an old friend who I am very excited.

So, uh, details to come in the coming weeks.

We're doing it in the beginning of December.

So, uh, details of the beer itself have not been finalized,

but we're thinking something nice and wintery and big.

And so, uh, yeah, I'm excited for that.

Hell yeah.

Going to be fun.

Mega excited mostly for you.

I don't I don't get to partake in it, but I'm super excited for you.

Book that take a buddy come on out.

Yeah December, you know, it's such a busy month.

Uh huh.

Just come out

just one day, brew beer one day, then we'll kidnap you and tell your wife.

I'm sorry you're never coming home. True.

You'll never want to come home.

I don't think I will.

It's already getting cold here. Shit. Here.

California's the place to be.

You know, all bullshit aside, it's the place to be.

It's just the best.

I will say it is getting really cold out here.

It's down in like the sixties.

50 years ago this morning.

Lovely spring day, what?

37 at 620 in the morning.

You're car. Really? Yeah. Like, what is this?

I had ice on my windshield.

Wow, that's crazy.

Oh, wow.

That is nuts. That's. We're not used to that.

If I had to, like, blast my defrost or I was like,

put my seat warmers on, I was like, ooh.

It's been in the twenties in the mornings here, and I'm still not getting over

my windshield, though.

Maybe like my car, my car's acclimated.

That's kind of insane.

And you park out outdoors.

Oh, yeah.

Well, I just started parking indoors, actually, tonight, and.

But mostly through, like, I would say, April through.

Oh, yeah, November. I park outside.

The kids have so much shit in the garage that I basically get

kicked out and all their shit gets put into the garage on my side.

So that's, you know, I see pros and cons of having kids.

Do you have to have those engine block heaters in your cars out there?

It's not 1977, Greg.

It's cars don't even have to like sit in warm up anymore.

You just turn them on and fucking drive.

Just ask and I.

Mean.

The, you know, the wife recently got a new car

and in some of the research we found, like some jeeps still had

like the engine block heaters don't like newer jeeps, so

it's, you know, maybe they're just for Alaska or some shit, you.

All right?

I can flex love. Yeah.

Yeah.

So, anyways, any good research?

He may be doing anything good recently.

I mean, I went to my spot last week, you know, classic Eagle Park on a monday.

I did not go today.

Otherwise I'd be.

I'd be falling asleep right now.

I've been learning that the day drinking on show nights,

it's hard for flex.

So I'm trying to go between shows and

I had this two other IPAs that they recently put on tap.

One was a mosaic with mosaic cryo and it was phenomenal.

Like, it really, really expelled everything you want out of like the mosaic

hop, the tropical notes

and what you what I really like getting out of

the mosaic hop is like those rare berry notes. Mm.

And those really shine through.

And then they had an all Citra IPA as well.

It had Citrus Intracranial and Citra Incognito and that one did kind of stand

on top of the, the full on Mosaic IPA, but

both were absolutely top notch brews. And

I found out that they're getting an entire new brewhouse put into the brewery.

Oh, shit.

The brewhouse that they have now, they say they can brew.

Like, I can't remember if they said three beers a day.

And now the new brewhouse they're getting, they can do seven.

So it's going to be a much faster system.

And one of the president said when they get it all set up and installed

and everything like that, he said, I can come in and you can show me around.

So I'm actually super excited for that.

Get to nerd out and get in some research and yeah,

so I'll keep you up to date on that one.

Lex, the influencer over there. Oh, that's right.

I don't even think this guy knows

that I'm an influencer or whatever you want to call me.

Just he just like, go there.

Because to grammer.

Something like that, maybe like the packs, maybe he's just, you know,

maybe I'm a cool guy.

I don't know. For me, it's.

The glutes, but, you know, not the cool thing.

Trust me.

You're right.

I have nice glutes.

Definitely the glutes. Best in the Midwest.

Hell, yeah.

Oh, true shit.

All right. Like I.

It's so. Ridiculous.

When it's.

Like I said before, we got a voicemail from the homie.

Chew your beer.

No, we don't. You're kidding.

Wife that surprised the look of your face.

Well, I wonder how long it is.

He's going to be so mad at you.

Here is a sad voicemail.

He knows we love it.

Propagator

that happens

a lot.

I couldn't

agree more. I'm

I think I know the definitely are the answer from true

but I mean from flex I am not a Guinness drinker

even pre Kraft's snobbishness I just Guinness wasn't my jam.

I like know.

Did you like it?

I did. I drank it more because again, it was

different

and fuller bodied and everything else out there.

And I really liked New Castle Brown. Okay.

And they around when they came out with a werewolf.

Yes. Dan loved. That.

That was my fucking favorite.

But I mean, again, this was 15 years ago, 14 years ago.

I mean, I was in like my early, early twenties and yeah, that's all I could get.

And it wasn't Bud Light and it had flavor and it did have like that

kind of like Roasty coffee, which I, you know, enjoy

as I've gotten older and I've gotten snob beer.

And now I really understand

it's more of like a nostalgia thing and I'll usually have one

or two on St Patrick's Day.

I just kind of do it like out of nostalgia with my corned beef and cabbage.

And I'll drink it.

It's fine, but it's like a once a year thing or car bombs.

I love myself a good car bomb. I'm not gonna lie.

I do car bombs every St Patrick's Day.

I like the flavor of car bombs. I'm a bad juggler.

So by the end of it, I'm getting a little chunky chunks. Yeah. Know somewhere?

Yeah.

How you're bad.

Bad I can be.

I really have to be in the right mindset.

It's really like a mental thing for me.

You're like, That's crazy.

Was roommate in college, he didn't realize that you chugged a car bomb.

He almost thought it was like a mixed drink. Oh, God.

And they left him, you know, to his own demise.

He was home alone and going to do this.

And Steve came in.

He's like, Man, I tried to make one of those car bombs tonight.

He just took me forever to get through.

Got real chunky. And Steve was like, What? It's not a zipper, man.

You should chug that.

Like, what are you doing so good?

Yeah, he like, that's gross.

Yeah, man.

He let it, like, curdle and ferment, and he just.

He sipped till.

The old cement mixer. Yeah.

Oh, I'd hate to see the bathroom after he drank that thing.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah, we will. It was a few weeks back. I had.

What was it, the beer for your zodiac sign or whatever.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Remember we did that and Erica got the Guinness?

Yeah, yeah, because somebody got the Guinness.

And I went on a spiel about how much I absolutely cannot stand again.

It's not my jammed. It's never has been.

I will drink an Irish car bomb slowly until I get quickly.

As you can, you mean?

Yeah, well, which is slowly until I get to the chunks and then I, I.

You give on wave the flag.

Yeah. Like this. Let's do a half hour.

Yeah.

But when you're like 22 and your friends I drew, you can't,

you can't tell your friends like.

And people like you buy rounds of car bombs, right?

It's not like, hey, like, I'm going to go get in a car bomb.

It's like, no, you get like a round of seven.

Right? No.

I think at the. Child size, please.

I do Saint Patrick's Day of my life when I was 21,

because I was I'm a fast chug or at least I used to be.

And I was just beaten everybody.

It was like, who can beat Nicole?

And man, I was

throwing up and

peeing on the floor. Oh.

Instead of the toilet,

because I wouldn't even get myself up to which positions those.

Terrible. That's a fucking night right there, my friend.

So Laura with towels and put it back on the people's

laundry basket and like, whatever, just forget about it.

Go to bed.

This poor people. Oh, whatever.

Oh, I do.

I do feel like Chew is part of the show, by the way.

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

And I feel like we need like a a choose take segment where he calls in

for voicemail and he just gives us his take on some fuckin topic.

Yeah, pick a toss some topic and beer.

And just give us.

Give us your $0.02 on it.

Yeah. Let us know it grinds your gears.

Yeah. Yeah.

Except don't do that because we might get sued.

I already said it once.

You know, so we don't want to say it.

Yeah.

Too many times.

Yeah.

Anyway it'll. Be.

It'll verify.

Three beer is the number to call if you want to also provide your $0.02

or let us know if you're into Guinness or any of that stuff.

All right.

Before we get into some news, let's answer the most important question

of the night.

Don't hurt yourself. Well, that was intense.

It gets super intense. Not.

Only for you guys, I swear.

So thankfully,

I found a wonderful beer buddy by the name of OG Beer Dude.

Zach Miller.

That guy show our Indiana friend Indiana AM.

The best thing that probably happened to us was talking shit about Indiana

and introducing us to Zach.

Yeah. And he's clearly the best thing that ever happened.

Indiana? No. 100%.

Easily the best.

Indiana in.

Yeah. Question mark sounds about right

that there is.

So he just sent me a box and slid me this super sick Imperial Stout

called Viking Funeral Bye for father's brewing

and on their can it says the four fathers of beer, water,

malt, hops and yeast, which is, you know, kind of fun. Hmm.

So I like where they got their name from

an untapped.

It has a collective rating of a 4.02 out of 1.3 thousand ratings, though.

Not suitable respect.

That is very respectable.

It is a 10.4% abv

and it reads.

A. Brutal imperial stout brewed with ten different grains, including rye, malt,

honey malt and a touch of smoked malt, lactose,

cocoa nibs.

I think it's mostly cocoa local honey.

Give it a decadence worthy of a Valhalla.

Savor now or cellar for future conquests.

And I did not do the latter.

And I chose this because of my significant

Norwegian Viking background.

Allegedly,

the the Norwegian jury's out on that one.

So I'm the old schnauzers. Hmm.

That is a very big, thick biscuits, dark beer you got in your hand.

There it is.

It is

what it like motor oil.

Like it looks like it w30.

Once I get into the old tongue jobber, well, we'll

talk a little bit more about that.

Chocolaty on the nose.

So do the candles, say lactose, honey and cocoa? Yes.

There you go.

So definitely getting the cacao through.

I'm sorry. Knock it out. What is it?

There you go.

Oh, baby, baby.

I remember that girl like a cow, right?

It's like airborne. But the cow.

Yeah.

The thing is, the panty dropper, man, right.

And point 4% or whatever. Your.

Panties are flying. By like your panties are coming off.

So anyway, we'll probably, almost never

and the tongue drivers warmed up, so we're going to dove right in.

You know, what's interesting about being Norwegian is if you're like 50% Norwegian

and you move to Norway, you get like free health care for the rest of your life.

I don't think I have any media there.

I need to see how Norwegian I am. No.

Yeah, I don't remember the exact. That's.

That's the deal. And you move back and yeah.

So I like this deal.

Yeah. 330

So on the mouthfeel there's actually a good amount

of carbonation to this as you can still see

with like the little bit ahead still left on the beer.

It's very slick, very smooth, like I said, kind of that motor

oil texture, heavy on the chocolate.

The lactose definitely smooths it out.

I'm not getting much honey on the flavor,

but anytime Honey's added to a beer, I always kind of feel it on my tongue,

like after, like a drink or a swallow or something like that.

And it just kind of like out or. Something.

That, like, I'm allergic to it.

Kind of like, you know, honey's like,

you could take it as, like, a cough medicine

or like a throat reliever because it, like, coats your throat.

Yeah, that's kind of what I get it on, like, on my tongue.

You can definitely tell it's like present in the beer, which is kind of nice.

And they're not just saying

that it's got like honey in it and it's just like a dash of honey.

So I would say it's like a 4.0 to beer rating.

I feel like this is like a super fucking solid beer

and the 10.4% and you can't find it anywhere in this

like it's not you can't get the alcohol on the scent.

It's definitely not on the old tongue job where you give somebody this

and you give them a Guinness, they're going to think it's the same.

Maybe delightfully dangerous.

Delightfully. Very nice.

Yeah. One more shout out to O.G.

Bearded on the Grams.

Zach, the only cool Indiana and Indiana in Indiana.

In Indiana?

Yeah, something like that going in.

All right.

A little bit of both.

News to get to your Dr.

Pepper. Wait, wait. What?

Dr. Pepper and Keurig are the same company.

Oh, it's.

I didn't know that. No, I'm not.

Not real new. It's, you know, few years Keurig.

Dr. Pepper is the company

just like what is it like Frito-Lay, Pepsi or something like that anyways.

Yes. That's a thing. Yeah.

They've invested $50 million into athletic

brewing to take a minority stake in the company.

If you remember, athletic brewing is the brewery that makes in a beer.

Well, you get a bunch of celebrities in there and Flex is a huge supporter.

And then about a week later, the CEO of Keurig, Dr.

Pepper, resigned due to violations of the company's code of conduct

that were unrelated to strategy operations or financial reporting.

Makes me think sexy things.

But I say sexual harassment.

Definitely touched some people.

Naughty list and.

Not in a good way. Um.

So anyways.

Uh. Yeah, athletic ruined Tilray brands.

Well I'm sure we've all heard of mm mm.

Will acquire Montauk money.

I'm going to.

Yuck it's month. Montauk.

Montauk. Yeah.

Yes it is.

My favorite band does the song Montauk.

Yeah. Okay.

The number one craft brewer in metro New York.

I've never heard of either of these companies.

Baby lady number one, Melville, tell us we're wrong.

Well, I've definitely I've definitely heard of Montauk Brewing.

I've never had anything of it. I've heard of it. I've seen it.

Okay.

Like I said, I know it's Montauk and

Bayside does a song called Montauk, and it's a fucking razor.

So, uh, give it a listen to thank me later.

Okay. All right, we'll get on it.

Bayside.

Bayside. Just like, uh, they by the bell.

Yeah. Mm hmm.

Just like, uh.

The brewery I have heard of, Lost Abbey is downsizing,

and they're putting their 30 barrel brewing system up for sale.

Yeah, they say they're doing it to change and adapt with the times,

because the times are not all

about making a ton of the same beer, but making a lot of smaller batches of beer.

But I'm hoping that it's not trouble for the Lost Abbey.

They're also going to sell or rent out.

I'm not exactly sure what part of their space.

Interesting enough, they are in Stone's original brewery before Stone

got their huge spot in Escondido.

It's like an industrial area, know.

Yeah, I've been there. Yeah, I've been there for years.

I mean, I've been there once or twice.

They're there in Stone's old brewery using their old earliest.

They were using their old equipment and if they still are.

And so now they're going to sell off

the bigger system by a smaller system and do smaller batches.

I feel like a lot of their stuff was right.

Yeah, but.

They're doing it hard to come by and bottle and.

I know port you know it's port slash the lost avenue

port does bigger, you know, like punch IPA runs in that kind of stuff.

But Lost Abbey always felt very small that, you know,

everyone's favorite modern times.

Yeah as.

Close

as close their Anaheim taproom what a shame.

Is that the pool one.

That is the pool one.

Steve Owen. Melissa will be so sad.

Yeah.

Your friend Stevo and his wife Melissa and as well as Nick from 14 cannons

have all been there and everyone's told me it's fucking amazing.

Minus, you know, modern times mean a bunch of douches.

Yeah, Natalie's

sort of close.

And I'm Taproom and the merger with Maui is official,

so they're no longer modern times.

They're part of the Ohana brand, and they're still modern times.

And former CEO of our times, Jennifer Briggs, has exited the company.

So there you have it. All right.

Bye bye bye.

Wasn't she recently announced CEO?

Yeah.

I mean, since the naughty list happened.

Yeah. Oh, so she's out, too?

Yeah.

She and then her and then she's out.

Yeah, she joined.

They, they brought her on after the whole naughty list situation.

I honestly, I think it was sort of a token move like, oh, a bunch of women

haters will bring in a woman CEO.

And because it only happened after that all came to light, it didn't feel like it

was, you know, because they wanted to wasn't genuine.

And then yeah.

And then she stayed on through this and now she's, he has exited the company.

I wasn't on this one.

Placer County deputy was suspected of pulling up to a service call

while drunk ever been pulled over and just wondered if the cop was drunk.

That's like if that car was drunk.

Yeah.

In Placer County, which is in Northern California and now former

Placer County deputy has been arrested after he allegedly

pulled up to a call for service while under the influence of alcohol.

The sheriff's office says that Saturday morning Deputy never normal name aloha

no sure dues pulled up to call for service at an unspecified location.

He was driving and marked Placer County Sheriff's Patrol car

deputies were already at the scene, reported that they suspected

Hughes was under the influence and he was confronted by a California

highway patrol unit, then called to the scene and did a field sobriety test.

How embarrassing.

They had to call the CHP to test the sheriff deputy.

According to the sheriff's office, the tests showed Hughes

blood alcohol level was 0.13%.

So not quite double. Wow. Yeah.

Owen Wilson was shocked.

Hughes was arrested and then booked into South Jail.

The sheriff's office says

Hughes was released from his probationary employment

and is no longer working for their department.

What a surprise.

That's great, though.

He was 30.

Have you been drinking? No, officer.

Have you been drinking? Of you.

What about you? You looked in the mirror lately.

Or better yet.

And you've been drinking.

Yeah, but not as much as you.

Yeah. See?

Yeah. Can't arrest me if you've had more.

But just makes me wonder what the, the other cops had seen or noticed

that made it to them be like, hey, maybe this guy has been drinking.

Or you know.

Or if they've known of this man and they'd known he's had like a personal problem.

I don't know. It sounds pretty messed up.

And it was like a sting.

Yeah, it was like a sting operation to get.

Maybe it was really intervention and prevention.

I knew it was in something. Whoa, yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Going to the show, it always comes out dirty.

Well, at least you know

when Deb's here with just constant string of dicks.

Yeah, so many dicks.

So many dicks. Big, long.

Yeah.

It's like, hey, we have a service called Everybody Circles around the guy.

Like, so Officer Hughes, uh, have something to talk to you about.

We're concerned about your drinking. Right.

On the job.

Everyone here, his friends, everyone here, his family.

The safe place. Yeah, we're here for you.

I don't know how this goes anyways,

so don't drink and cop.

Cop? Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.

Don't drink in. Court, not drinking.

Don't drink. And law enforcement, I don't know.

Yeah.

Uh. Don't drink and not works.

Yeah, we'll leave it at that.

Yeah, that's the best.

All right, I think that's everything. Yeah.

I'm going to hit some music over here.

I'm going to say Hi, Vanessa. Hi, Vanessa.

I. Vanessa.

Tell everybody to go check it out.
