1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:04,960 I haven't had a drink in at least like 16 hours. Yeah, same. 2 00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:25,860 Welcome in, everybody, to the Craft Beer Republic. Thanks for listening, thanks for drinking, and most importantly, thanks for joining. I am Greg. 3 00:00:26,180 --> 00:00:35,760 I am being joined by Fleximus Maximus. What's going on, buddy? It feels like it's been 100 years since I've heard this music. Dude, I was saying the same thing today. 4 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:45,340 I was like, I'm so fucking glad to be back on the mic. It just livened me up like so much right now. Yeah, I don't know about you, definitely hard over here. Yeah, let's get it. 5 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:53,280 Yeah, but don't make me stand up. Wow, at least we got a willing third party here. Yeah, willing, able, and ready to go. 6 00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:00,980 Joining us all the way from the Midwest, which is more East than Flex. I don't get it. Anyways, Midwest to East. 7 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:11,000 Turd Ferguson himself, Zach OG Beer Dude. What's going on, buddy? What's happening? That is a hell of a segue, boys. Only the sexiest, yeah. 8 00:01:12,220 --> 00:01:20,460 What's happening in Stinky Gary, Indiana? No, you know, still stinking, still stinking, but we got vans now. We're corporate sponsored. 9 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:29,740 Corporate sponsored, very nice. Look out. Oh man, so much to get to, so much to catch up with Zach. Before we get into any of that, 10 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:38,120 top listening city of last week, shout out to Council Bluffs, Iowa. That's not even a real place. It's not, it's absolutely fake. 11 00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:48,600 So thanks to all you fake listeners. Ladies and gentlemen, we just make up the top listening cities. Clearly. Did you think about it? You found us out. If I was making it up, like I do a better job at making it up. 12 00:01:49,940 --> 00:01:59,180 Like, I don't know, give us a cool sounding place. Maybe you just AI it like you do everything else. Maybe, but I think every week it'd be like Dildo Canada. Yeah. 13 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:06,660 Yeah, that would be cool though, like just once for real. Yeah, it's true. But if it was made up, every week it'd be like, and for the eighth week in a row, 14 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:16,480 the top listening city, Dildo Bay, Canada. Maybe they would send us beer. I'm still hoping they send us a big hard package of beer from Dildo Canada. That needs to happen. 15 00:02:17,620 --> 00:02:27,280 Anyway. Would you say like a horse-sized package? Yeah. Too far? Not yet. Smaller the better. Nevermind. 16 00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:36,760 Anyway, so thanks, Council Bluffs, Iowa. Find us all on the socials, thatcraftyrepublic, at flexmeabeer, underscores in between, of course, at og underscore beer dude. 17 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:45,220 Give us a follow and follow along with Zach's beer and van adventures over there. Before we get into anything, 18 00:02:45,820 --> 00:02:50,340 I just need to review my beer because it is so goddamn fresh. 19 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:17,140 That is right. All right. Fresh as fuck. I'm drinking Sierra Nevada's Celebration 2023. Oh. Fresh from the IPA. 20 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:25,420 It's fresh from the fields. Didn't even hit a fermenter. Okay, maybe it did. 6.8%, 65 IBUs has a 4.14 untapped already. 21 00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:35,460 They say freshly picked hops rushed from farm to brewery fill Celebration IPA with powerful citrus and pine flavors. When you're on the slopes with friends 22 00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:44,220 or building a backyard campfire for the fam, you need a beer as fresh as fallen snow. Pure hops balanced with rich caramel malt make this celebration, 23 00:03:44,660 --> 00:03:53,460 make this a celebration in every sip. And hops used this year are Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook. I usually don't get this so early. 24 00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:01,320 Usually it's later November when I finally get my hands on this and it kind of rings in the holiday season for me. Let me make everything very loud and clear. 25 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:09,720 It is not the holiday season before Thanksgiving, you fucks. Take your Christmas lights down. Uh-oh, controversial. 26 00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:19,180 Should we wait to have this conversation until you're done with the beer? Yeah, let's do that. Let me finish the beer, then we'll make fun of you. Anyway, so it is not the holiday season yet, 27 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:29,000 even though I am drinking Celebration Ale. But because I've drank it, we are now okay to usher in the holiday season in a week or so when Thanksgiving happens. In a week or so. 28 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:39,360 I think that 65 IBUs, I think they meant to put 265 IBUs. I feel like that's a bitter boy. That would be a bitter boy. 29 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:49,660 There's a local brewery out here that used to make one that was like 170 or something like that. The tongue can't perceive anything over like 120, so it doesn't even matter. One sec here. 30 00:04:49,940 --> 00:04:59,700 So on the Schnauzer Rooney Dooney, mostly pine, light malt, mostly pine, tongue jobber follows. It is one of the more balanced, like a lot of times, 31 00:04:59,740 --> 00:05:06,980 these are real like teeth stripping bitter. This one's a little more balanced, a little more subdued. And I like it. I find it as a good thing 32 00:05:06,980 --> 00:05:16,380 and not such a fucking nod to stone stripping the enamel off your teeth in the 90s. And this is an every year purchase for you? Yeah, it's just, they change it every year. 33 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:25,920 It's fresh hops every year. It's just fun. One of those things to try, kind of means it's almost the whole thing. It's not quite. Yeah, I just like to see what they do with it every year. 34 00:05:26,020 --> 00:05:34,760 So I very much enjoy these. If you need a good West Coast, I mean, who's going to do it better than Sierra Nevada with the fresh hop IPA? So there you go. 35 00:05:34,820 --> 00:05:44,620 But also feeling like the holidays in California, that's a pretty big thing. Because me and Zach in the Midwest, we actually get cold. We actually get snow to where it feels 36 00:05:44,620 --> 00:05:53,360 like that time of year. And it doesn't really get like that by you. No, it's going to be cold tonight though. The low is 52 as we record. Fuck off. 37 00:05:55,380 --> 00:06:04,160 I think that was our high today. The high was 75. 75 was our high and our low is 52. So yeah, it's not feeling very wintry out here. It is supposed to rain this week. 38 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:11,780 So you can expect all Californians to lose their shit. There you go. And not know how to drive. So Flex, are you a pre Thanksgiving light putter upper? 39 00:06:12,140 --> 00:06:21,380 Okay, so usually we are like in-house decorations. It's been getting earlier and earlier every single year. 40 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:31,180 So this year, my wife actually started taking down the Halloween decor on Halloween. And then she started decorating in the house 41 00:06:31,180 --> 00:06:40,720 for Christmas on November 1st. Wow, and so how long until the divorce papers come out? Oh no, I'm all for it. Really? Oh dude, Christmas decorations make me so happy. 42 00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:48,540 So then today, we actually set up all the outside shit, put the lights up. So still have a few more things to do, 43 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:54,420 but yeah, it's like, yeah, we're well on our way. Merry Christmas. And a Happy New Year. 44 00:06:56,700 --> 00:07:05,820 Zach, are you a pre Thanksgiving guy? Generally, yeah. Generally we strip the Halloween stuff down, Christmas up. This year, we are going to wait until 45 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:13,640 Saturday after Thanksgiving. But I'm making a decent amount of the decorations for the first year, so. You're making them? 46 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:21,940 Yeah, I'm not a TikTok-y, five minute craft bullshit guy, just I don't like, I think it's all trash to be honest. Or now. 47 00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:32,400 But yeah, but I got sent these, the multicolored little green lights that we all grew up with. You make a giant version, you use these like full noodles and two liter bottles. 48 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:42,320 I'm like, ah, that's kind of cute. Made it, and I'm like, kind of dig it. So now we're doing like a little candy land. Nice. Okay, right on. Yeah, yeah, I dig it. Yeah, back when I was a kid, 49 00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:51,980 like the weekend after Thanksgiving was when stuff went up, trees and all that stuff. And now as a grumpy adult with no children, I'm like, eh, do we have to put shit up? 50 00:07:52,040 --> 00:08:00,260 It just means we have to put it away in a few weeks. Yeah, it is different having the kids, because they really enjoy that aspect as well. 51 00:08:01,460 --> 00:08:11,200 But yeah, truth be told, I fucking like, Christmas is like the happiest time of year for me. That's fantastic. Same. Absolutely love it. Yeah. To me. I mean, that's the kicker though, 52 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:20,720 you just leave all the decorations up till like June. Oh, my wife would if I let her. I'm like, hey, New Year's happened, it's not Christmas anymore, let's get that shit in the closet. 53 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:29,860 Does Shannon enjoy that? Oh, so much more than I do. I rain on her parade so fucking hard. If it were up to me, I'd be like, 54 00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:39,299 yeah, hang a stocking and call it a day. Like, this is bullshit. I don't want to have to put this away on January 2nd, I'd rather just disappear. I don't want to deal with it. 55 00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:47,820 And like I said, I don't have kids, and my dog sure doesn't like or give a fuck. Yeah, Marty could care less. No, in fact, he hates it, because we've got to move some of his shit around. 56 00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:57,540 He's like, why'd you move my bed, assholes? You can put the tree somewhere else. It's not even a real tree, you fucking weirdos. We get pre-lit trees so we can get them up so early. 57 00:08:58,020 --> 00:09:06,080 Yeah, there you go. Same, same, so. All right, well, there's my rant on Christmas. Fuck decorations. I will say, pre-pandemic especially, 58 00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:15,900 it wasn't Christmas for me until I went to Disneyland. Disneyland Christmas is, that's my happy place, like Disneyland at Christmas time. Everything's decorated, it snows at night, 59 00:09:16,020 --> 00:09:25,720 and you know, in SoCal, we don't know what snow looks like. We haven't been there for Christmas yet. Oh, it's so good. We let our passes go right before the pandemic. It was just by chance, and then. 60 00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:34,720 Yeah, I remember you said that. Yeah, we haven't renewed, and we haven't been back since. Might be time to visit this year. Yeah, there you go. It's my wife's goal to get there during the Christmas season. 61 00:09:34,780 --> 00:09:43,700 It is pretty great, pretty great. That seems like a nightmare. I'm just gonna be, I'll be that guy. It just seems like an absolute nightmare to me. Yeah, don't go on a Saturday. It's a fucking nightmare. 62 00:09:43,980 --> 00:09:53,460 But like, if you could get yourself a weekday, like hit it up on a Wednesday or Thursday type thing. Okay. It's fantastic. Okay. Before the kids are out of school, like kids are still at school, 63 00:09:53,800 --> 00:10:01,220 it's not Christmas break yet, because they put the Christmas decorations up in November. So you got like a month, a month and a half or whatever. All right, that's pretty cool. Yeah, it's like a, 64 00:10:02,420 --> 00:10:11,520 isn't it like almost immediately after Halloween? Like they get in, and they take all the Halloween shit down almost immediately? Yeah, and I don't know if it's the Christmas stuff that goes up. 65 00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:21,520 Like they start putting fall stuff up after fall slash winter, and then I don't know if the Christmas stuff is fully up until like Thanksgiving. I think they kind of start little by little. Okay. 66 00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:30,260 By Thanksgiving or the week before Thanksgiving or something like that. It's fully erect, if you will. So- Daddy. 67 00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:41,200 And then I think, then they let it go like another week after New Year's. So you have some time. Okay. And then it goes flaccid. Yeah, exactly. And then they clean it up and put it away for next year. 68 00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:49,860 And we've come full circle. Yeah. Yep, there you go. There goes any chance of ever having Disney as a sponsor. Okay. Because they totally wanted us. 69 00:10:52,360 --> 00:11:02,040 Fantastic. You know, a lot of times you get on with somebody and you go, hey, what's up? And then that person goes, eh, nothing, same old shit. Not the case with Zach. 70 00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:11,080 Zach's been doing lots of things, moving and shaking. Zach, what the fuck is going on, bud? Yeah, it's been quite exciting. I'll try to do a condensed version. 71 00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:20,620 I'm still kind of bathing in the realness, I guess. So Revolution of Chicago, which it's a larger company for sure, 72 00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:29,440 offered me the dream job, brought me on as their state rep for now, and then moving up into a managerial position by the end of next year. 73 00:11:30,220 --> 00:11:38,480 It's a long-term move within the company, still independently owned, which is super crazy. And then Flex probably knows, like Deedstar. 74 00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:49,380 It's the big barrel program. It's one of the best. Even before I worked for them, I would say the same thing. And we were having a beer with Josh Deeth, 75 00:11:49,380 --> 00:11:57,560 the creator and person who started Revolution at the brewery and it was like this very overwhelming moment. I got a little teary-eyed. 76 00:11:58,380 --> 00:12:05,960 Holy smokes, man. Yeah, it was pretty cool. And yeah, they just welcomed me with open arms and it's been super cool, very exciting. 77 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,220 Yeah, before we got on air, you said you got it with the new gig and I didn't know it was that. 78 00:12:12,540 --> 00:12:22,480 Yeah, so just the same kind of thing, beer rep, but from the supplier side, but it's more of a in-tune, in-depth kind of position 79 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:29,660 for right now and then getting more within the company over the next few years. I mean, they've tossed out five, 10-year plans, 80 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:38,680 which was kind of mind-boggling, but exciting. So very, very, very much looking forward to the future. Outstanding. Yeah. Look at you two. That's super awesome. 81 00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:47,960 You two with your new jobs, moving and shaking. Wait, what's yours? Oh, you didn't hear about Flex? Yeah, I'm at a butcher shop now. 82 00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:56,960 Get the fuck out of here. He professionally beats meat. That's fantastic. Yeah, I'm getting pretty good at it too. It's super, finally. So efficient right now. 83 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:06,320 He's down to less than a minute. I can beat so much meat in such little time. God, that makes so much sense to me. It's all adding up, right? 84 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:16,880 Well, that's awesome, man. Congrats on the fucking dream job. Thank you. Thank you very much. Now, when can we expect them to come out to California? I don't know. It would be pretty dope actually. 85 00:13:17,060 --> 00:13:26,900 I mean, here they're a large company, but we never see it out your way, which is still, it's weird. So I'll have to ship you some beer. Maybe get some of the guys on the show too. 86 00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:37,260 Yeah, that would be dope actually. Spreading the word. Greg would really like the pale. Oh, I love a good pale. It's like that, can't remember what the hell it was called. 87 00:13:37,660 --> 00:13:47,640 I had it at a resort. Greg's Pale. But- Yeah, Greg's Pale. It's one of those classic malt-based, like malt-backed pale ales. And it's a crusher. 88 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:56,420 Nice, I dig it. Make some solid stuff, man. Yeah. Well, and then you've also been making some car moves. Yeah, so- 89 00:13:56,420 --> 00:14:04,880 Let me backstory this real quick. He sent, Zach sends a picture of what he's about to talk about, and I'm so fucking lame, I was like, I don't get it. 90 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:12,920 What does it stand for? So, yeah, my close friends are gonna hear this 91 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:20,940 and they know, I have a very deep love for old vans. Not creepy panel vans. Everyone's hearing this. Down by the river. 92 00:14:21,780 --> 00:14:31,540 Old conversion vans. This has got the VCRs, the TVs. It takes you back to when we were kids, you would do these road trips, and they're really not that easy to find anymore. And when you see them, you just, 93 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:38,880 you turn into a kid again. Well, your parents were not that cool, by the way. We didn't have cool vans for road trips. We had a cool van. Oh, fuck all y'all. We had a cool van. 94 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:46,700 We were nuts on our nuts to buy some road trips. We get a message from a very dear friend of ours, 95 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:55,300 Biz in Kokomo, and she had a friend that was selling a van. 9096 GMC conversion van, the long, huge bastards. 96 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:05,760 Everything still works. The inside looks like it's never been touched. 3,500 bucks cash. And so license plates are very, really important to me. 97 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:15,480 Get the van back home, and I'm getting it registered, and I'm thinking, all right, do we do Wilder, except the van, so it's Van Wilder. Do we go kind of nerdy and put Go, so it's Van Go. 98 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:24,400 And we go to the BMV, and we sit there, and I go, you know what, fuck it. We're gonna try to apply for VILF, V-I-L-F, which, of course, is- 99 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:33,740 And I was like, I don't get it. And yeah, I don't think Indiana got it either, because they fucking approved the plate, which, if you do a screen grab, 100 00:15:34,180 --> 00:15:42,600 you can see me holding the actual plate and register. Oh, I got it. I gotta screen grab this. Here we go. Flex smile, hey. Got it. And there's your thumbnail. 101 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:53,240 Oh, it's so good. And yeah, so we apply for it. The lady just basically looks at me, and she's just like, nah, it's not gonna get approved. And sure as shit, a week and a half later, and even my wife was just like, 102 00:15:53,260 --> 00:16:01,840 I can't fucking believe they approved this. That's so awesome. That's insane. And for all the idiots like me, what does VILF stand for? Oh, it's a van I'd like to fuck. 103 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:12,440 Right in the tailpipe, man. Where else would you put it? I told him, I said, I had a couple of people message me when he tagged us in that story, and I shared it. 104 00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:22,100 And they're like, what is that supposed to mean? And I said, I'm pretty sure it's just van I'd like to fuck. Like, that's classic Zach. Yeah. Like, in a nutshell, that's Zach right there. 105 00:16:22,140 --> 00:16:30,200 Well, also, Zach's not gonna own a van he doesn't wanna fuck, let's be honest. That's also true. Yeah, so it only makes sense. Yeah, and I mean, the bed in the back still operates, 106 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:37,740 it folds down, you know, you gotta do it. So you gotta do it. So in California, when you're going for vanity plates, 107 00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:46,260 not only do you have to apply for whatever the plate says and then see if it's available on top of that, cause you do it online, you have to say like the reason for it 108 00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:52,100 or the explanation behind it, you know, whatever it says. So if you were to do VILF in California, 109 00:16:52,100 --> 00:17:01,900 you'd have to say like, it stands for van interlaced, you know, fingerlings or something like that, that is nothing at all like, man, I'd like to fuck. 110 00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:10,740 Do they require, makes sense. It's a potato delivery van. Exactly, yeah. Hot spots coming in. Do you have to- Interlaced with what? 111 00:17:11,220 --> 00:17:20,400 Well, IL, interlaced. Fingerling, but they're laced. With fingerlings. Do you have to explain it to the people at the DMV there? No, it's always super weird. 112 00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:30,320 We've applied for quite a few. We've gotten most of them. Quite a few have also been turned down. We just got a letter. I wish it was a little more derogatory. I wish the letters were a little more blunt. Like, you're an idiot. 113 00:17:30,460 --> 00:17:39,180 We're never approving this, but you just get a nice little letter. It's like, yeah, you're not getting this plate. Like a standard template. Yeah, pretty much. 114 00:17:39,380 --> 00:17:48,900 Thank you for applying for this plate. You're an idiot. We regret to inform you that it is not that. We regret to inform you. Yeah, yeah. Flex went a little Alaska there. 115 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:58,900 Thank you for applying for this plate. I didn't know where I was going with it. That was the wheels turning. Well, in California, we have one, I think they call it the vintage plate 116 00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:07,880 or the 60s plate or something like that. It's based on a plate that California issued in the 1960s. And my favorite is when you go on there, it says in order to use the number 69, 117 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:16,540 you have to have a car that was made in 1969. Apparently they get a lot of 69 requests in California. That's so good. 118 00:18:16,740 --> 00:18:25,040 Yeah, 69 King coming at you. That's gotta be like a rule in most states. Yeah, I just, I don't think most states plastered on their website. 119 00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:34,640 You know, it's like, no 69 you creeps. Unless of course you have a 69, which makes me want to go buy a car. 120 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:42,800 Just tell them you're a huge Bill and Ted fans. Yeah, there you go. Or you just like 69ing. Yeah, also true. That's very true. It would be good, 121 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:50,320 because like one of my dream cars is a 69 Camaro SS. I would love to get that car and then have the license plate be like 69ing 122 00:18:50,740 --> 00:19:00,240 or 69 King or something just to, ha ha, I have a 69 fuckers, you can't stop me. 69 King. Now you have to do it. Oh, I'll do it. Do it. Do it. 123 00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:12,840 Daddies. I'm doing it, all right. All the daddies. So much daddy. So much daddy. Oh, so good. Well, that's fucking awesome. 124 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:22,380 I'm glad you got your dream car with your dream plates. Love it. Yeah, you can watch all your 80s porno tapes in the back and all the- 125 00:19:22,380 --> 00:19:30,540 You know how hard it is to fucking find VHS tapes nowadays? I would hope so. Actually, that made me curious the second you were about to say that, 126 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:40,140 thinking how hard is it to find VHS porn tapes now? Yeah, it's, I mean, it's the porn tapes, they're just, they stick together. It's just weird and creepy. 127 00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:49,920 It's like finding some Disney clamshells is fine, but the adult ones, it's, they're tough. They're collectors. Yeah, what was it with those white puffy cases? 128 00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:59,360 The Disney ones? Oh, yeah. The Nickelodeon ones are the best. The orange ones? Oh, ridiculous. We went to this Airbnb, I think it was like two years ago now, 129 00:20:00,740 --> 00:20:10,040 and it was out in the middle of nowhere. It was like a little, when I say outhouse, I don't mean like toilet, but I mean like an outhouse, you know, a detached building on a farm. 130 00:20:10,420 --> 00:20:20,120 And it was like a one bedroom house with a little like kitchen and living room. And there was no cell phone reception. This sounds like the makings of it, like a scary movie. No cell phone reception, no cable, no internet. 131 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:29,920 The only internet was at the main house, which was too far away to get the wifi. So like you had to go drive up the driveway to the main house, connect to their wifi, get directions to anywhere you wanted to go, 132 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:37,680 download it to your phone, and then go there. Like it was fucking insane. But in the little house, all they had was VHS tapes, no DVDs, no cable, nothing. 133 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:47,100 And so like we started watching VHS, at least one of the Toy Story sequels was there. We watched Doc Holiday. You guys ever heard of Doc Holiday? 134 00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:56,780 Oh yeah. I mean, I know who Doc Holiday is. I think I've seen the movie once. It's Michael J. Fox, and he's like a big town doctor, and he goes to a small town. I forget the name of the town. 135 00:20:57,340 --> 00:21:06,040 Maybe it's Holiday. I don't know. I was hoping it's Holiday. Oh no, no, sorry, Doc Hollywood. Doc Hollywood. I was gonna say, Doc Holiday is like Wyatt Earp. Yeah, sorry. 136 00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:15,680 Hollywood, Doc Hollywood, because he's from LA and he's like big time, you know, plastic surgeon or whatever. That I've definitely never seen. No one's ever seen it. And the best part is it apparently came out right after Back to the Future, 137 00:21:15,820 --> 00:21:24,920 because the back of the thing, the whole description of the movie is fresh off the great success of Back to the Future as Marty McFly, he's a doctor. You know, like it was all about like, 138 00:21:24,980 --> 00:21:33,200 back to the future, back to the future, back to the future, and this movie. So watch it because you like Back to the Future. Anyways, it was one of those movies that was like so stupid, 139 00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:43,200 but I'm also glad I've seen it now. It made my life complete. But that was a- Now I gotta find it on VHS now. Well, I think it's only on VHS. They never spent the time or money to put it on DVD or streaming. 140 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:51,720 Why would they? Yeah, so Doc Hollywood, if you guys need a cheesy 80s movie starring Michael J. Fox, good time. I'm good, I'm good. Yeah, it's worth a watch. 141 00:21:51,840 --> 00:22:01,500 It's, you know, quality shit there. That's like saying Breast Men with David Schwimmer is a good watch. Oh, God. I've never seen it. 142 00:22:01,860 --> 00:22:10,520 No, Zach knows what it is. No, I've never, no, I don't. Oh, you don't. I don't. Oh, it was like the movie of like the first, 143 00:22:10,780 --> 00:22:20,520 the guys who did like the first breast implants. Oh. And it was called Breast Men. I'm googling this right now. Yeah, 1997. Breast Men. 144 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:29,080 Yeah, you see on like HBO and like Showtime all the time. Starring David Schwimmer and Chris Cooper. Oh my good God, I've never heard of this. Wow, that's hilarious. 145 00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:37,620 It has three stars on IMDb. Oh, it's not great. I mean, IMDb also gives Biodome like a 4.1. 146 00:22:37,860 --> 00:22:47,680 I mean, really, you can't trust IMDb. That's true, yeah. It's like trusting untapped or something. Yeah, so anyway. 147 00:22:47,980 --> 00:22:53,900 Pauly Shore is like raiding a lager. Oh God, there's a movie. 148 00:22:55,780 --> 00:23:04,920 This lager is wheezing, sorry. Oh God, that's too good. All right, I'll stop my horrible impression. Let's make a call to Penn. 149 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:14,540 Let's find out what Zach's drinking over there. He calls to the bullpen for beer. 150 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:24,740 Fuck yeah, he does. Bring in the raiders. What's that vilf driving son of a bitch drinking? Well, so this is gonna be a fun one because just so the people that are listening, 151 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:34,220 this was not intentional. I had no idea you were drinking what you were drinking. So I've got a 100 IBU, Uncessionable Imperial IPA from Rev. 152 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:45,380 Six hot varieties, Centennial, Cascade, Galaxy, Chinook, Amarillo Citra. 10%, 100 IBUs, just a big old West malt bomb. 153 00:23:46,420 --> 00:23:54,920 Super tasty. Nose, not really a whole lot, weirdly enough. It's just way too easy to drink for 10%, which is why it's a one and done for me. 154 00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:04,840 This is one of my winter go-to beers as well. That shit'll keep you warm at 10%. Yeah, that's really, 100 IBUs, oh ouch. Yeah, brush your teeth after that one. 155 00:24:05,140 --> 00:24:14,300 Yeah. Filmy. Wow. Wow. What, what? Just so unexpected, that's what. It was, yeah. 156 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:23,640 It was really, I don't know. What, I talk about it all the time with those heavy West Coast, you know, it's like smoking a cigar the morning after when you wake up and you still have all that 157 00:24:24,140 --> 00:24:31,860 Yeah. Cigar, Oh yeah. Smoky, yeah. All that ass is still coating your teeth. Yeah, it's filmy. Yeah, exactly. 158 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:42,200 Nice, well, I don't know about you guys. I don't know about you guys. Most 10%s for me, too much, like it gets a little too warm with the alcohol. 159 00:24:42,660 --> 00:24:51,820 So if you can find someone who's doing a good job who balances that shit out, I'm all for it. It's a good one. The one you're drinking too is one of my favorites. Love that beer. Oh, Celebration? Yeah, it's good stuff, man. 160 00:24:51,980 --> 00:25:01,120 Yeah, it's so good. Good stuff. I just love anything 10%. He's a whore. Got me. You got him, daddy. There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah. 161 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:10,640 All right, before we move on to some news, one thing I forgot to mention, last week on the show, I think it was last week, I was talking about my final wakeboard trip of the season. 162 00:25:12,140 --> 00:25:21,500 Yeah, I forgot. And you found the way to get speed, right? Oh, I always got speed, baby. Yeah, I figured out a new form. 163 00:25:21,620 --> 00:25:31,480 Actually, that was the last trip where I figured out a new form that I like that after 10 years of wakeboarding, it would've been nice to figure that out before. But anyways, one thing I forgot to mention, not really wakeboard related, 164 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:38,360 other than the fact that this is fresh off the heels of us talking about icing Erica at GABF, 165 00:25:38,780 --> 00:25:48,160 and I was up there with my sister and her fiance, Stout Jack, and boy, were they- Wait, she's getting married? Have you heard? Your sister's getting married? 166 00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:58,320 That's crazy. I did not know that. Yeah, she never puts it on social media. It's weird. She's got a fiance? Yeah, I'll have to show you his profile someday. I'll have to introduce you. Wow. Yeah, who knew? Who knew? 167 00:25:58,460 --> 00:26:06,940 Never post about it. I'm gonna hear about this. Anyways, Stout Jack was very enthused 168 00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:16,780 from my ice session at GABF with Erica, and we went to the store one night to get some dinner shit, and he goes, hey, I need to make a stop on the alcohol aisle. 169 00:26:17,340 --> 00:26:27,100 Gets a six pack of ices, and this fool proceeded to ice my sister at like seven in the morning before we went wakeboarding. 170 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:37,600 Nice. Well, he goes, do you think I should do it? I was like, you're creating enemies real early in the morning, bud. Like, I don't know. You woke up and chose violence. 171 00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:46,460 Like, I don't. She's a nice lady, right? She's nice. So we did it. He fucking iced her. We got back, and he iced her. He put it in a bag full of the stuff from the grocery store. 172 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:55,660 He's like, hey, can you put this away and hands it to her? So she reaches in the bag, and it was nice. Like a champ at like seven in the morning, she fucking puts it down. Like a Jones would. 173 00:26:55,740 --> 00:27:05,120 Yeah, Jones is always putting it down. I know them Joneses. There's one thing we do good. That's Jones. Yeah, we spread our name everywhere. 174 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:14,520 So then revenge was on the mind for her, and we consulted on how to get him back, and I was like, I got this. 175 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:23,440 So we're on the boat, and I said, look, purposely. You're playing like devil's advocate for like both sides. Well, I tried to talk him out of icing her. It was way too early in the morning. 176 00:27:23,740 --> 00:27:32,940 So if I got iced at seven in the morning, I've been pissed too. And so he is getting ready to wakeboard. He's out on the back swim step of the boat, 177 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,360 putting his board on. Well, put my board on. Get your own board, loser. He's putting my board on. 178 00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:50,200 And I said, hey, I said, bring the rope in so he has to ask for it. And so we brought the rope back in the boat. So he gets all ready. He goes, hey, can I get the rope? 179 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:59,360 And I handed her the ice, put it in his hand, and she puts the ice in his hand as he's reaching for the rope. So then, of course, he had to chug an ice before wakeboarding. 180 00:27:59,780 --> 00:28:09,640 That's pretty genius. Yeah. That's good. So then he tried to get me later on, and I knew it. It's like, uh-uh. Well, yeah, you had to have been like seeing this coming. Oh, yeah. Ever since now. 181 00:28:09,780 --> 00:28:18,520 Ever since the sister that's getting married, what? And then the fiance, what? I know, you haven't heard any of this. That's crazy. 182 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:27,940 I'm sure now by saying this out loud, he's gonna try extra hard to get me next time we're in the same room. But I caught him sort of putting an ice in, 183 00:28:27,980 --> 00:28:37,880 I have a boat bag with all of our boat stuff, in the boat bag, which is where my phone was at the time. And I was like, oh, crap, now I can't get my phone and wallet out. We were washing the boat when he did it. 184 00:28:38,140 --> 00:28:47,900 After like an hour, I guess he finally went in and took it out and put it somewhere else. But that night he goes, you know, I totally had an ice in the boat bag. I was like, yeah, no shit, man. 185 00:28:48,740 --> 00:28:57,820 Everybody knew it. That's why I didn't pull my phone out. So anyways, I had to mention that ice in's occurred while at the lake. What a rookie. Yeah. The easiest thing would probably be like, 186 00:28:57,900 --> 00:29:06,380 well, no, cause your rule is like you have to touch it, right? Pretty much. First of all, like unknowingly touch it. Yeah, first of all, it's always my rule, you gotta touch it. 187 00:29:06,460 --> 00:29:15,400 You put it in like a takeout food container and. See, I don't like the way he. He's gonna be like, hey, I'm bringing food over. Well, he plays the one where like, if you see it, you drink it. 188 00:29:15,780 --> 00:29:25,620 Yeah, that's how we do it here. But I mean, he's talking like you put it on the kitchen table and if you walk into the kitchen, you gotta fucking drink the ice. And I'm like, no, that's way too easy. Otherwise I'd just put an ice all over the house for your dumb ass. 189 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:34,120 Yeah. There needs to be something behind it, some challenge behind it. See, that's where you gotta get creative. Like find somewhere that has a crawler machine, 190 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:43,320 friends at a brewery, dump like three of those in a crawler, crawler it. That's good. Hand you, and then you have no idea. Now you gotta chug fucking three of them. Yeah, exactly. Like when we iced Erica, 191 00:29:43,460 --> 00:29:53,060 like she reached in the bag, grabbed it and she knew the rules and she had to drink it at that point. That's it. Yeah, once you took, like the last time my wife got me, we were at an Oktoberfest party and I was playing pool 192 00:29:53,060 --> 00:30:01,500 and I ran out and she goes, hey, do you want me to get you a beer? And I was like, yes, please. And that bitch conspired with some of my friends and she goes, here's your beer. And I wasn't looking 193 00:30:02,180 --> 00:30:12,020 and she handed me an ice. What a bitch. Right? Why I married her. I'm not commenting on any of this at all. I mean, I say mean things like that, 194 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:21,980 but it's why I married her. Let's be honest. Well, it was so hard. First off, Shannon doesn't listen. No. Second of all, if she does, I love you, Shannon. Me too. Really not a bitch. 195 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:31,860 Shannon, I have no idea who you are. I did not participate in any of this at all. Not a bitch, but a bitch move. Let me make it clear here. She's great. Yeah, great singer. Really great singer. New rules. 196 00:30:32,180 --> 00:30:40,080 You grab the bottle, you gotta butt chug it. That's it. Lube it up, ladies. Here we go. Wait, you guys do it another way? 197 00:30:41,740 --> 00:30:49,880 I guess we're the rookies as shit, Greg. Sometimes nasally, but yeah. Usually butt chug. That's what straws are for. Exactly. 198 00:30:50,580 --> 00:30:58,560 But yeah, my thing is like you gotta touch it. You gotta be, you gotta touch it. You gotta be a little creative about it. Just seeing it to me is too easy. It's just too easy. 199 00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:07,100 I love flex your pizza box and your toilet seat thing. Yeah, the pizza box is my all-time favorite. If you do this toilet seat one and someone lifts the toilet seat 200 00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:16,900 with it taped under the toilet seat, to me, that's as good as touching it. Yeah, I mean, it's like- Because that's fucking genius. Elements of surprise are, you know, 201 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:24,660 there's levels of that, right? So it's like if somebody puts it on a kitchen table and the kitchen's empty and then the first person to walk in, 202 00:31:25,060 --> 00:31:33,520 I would probably say, yeah, you drink it. Is it fun? Is it creative? No. It's too easy for me. It's too easy. But is it unexpected? 203 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:43,940 Like that's what you have to think. It's unexpected. I mean, like, is my mom expecting it? No. But is somebody- Your mom's always expecting. 204 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:53,080 We're talking about ice, not flex. Oh my good God. Oh, oh, oh, yeah, no, yeah, no, not ice. Yeah, don't get it twisted here. Yeah, just to me, that's too easy. But, you know, if you put it in a bag 205 00:31:53,080 --> 00:32:03,000 or they reach for something or like my friend got me once, she goes, oh shit, I need something out of my car. Can you grab my keys out of my purse? And without looking, I just reached in the purse 206 00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:13,380 and there was an ice and I had a drink. That's pretty good. Yeah, that kind of thing. I like the creativity behind it. Otherwise, it's just like, drink this ice. It was easy. Put it in somebody's shoe. They got to put their shoe on 207 00:32:13,380 --> 00:32:23,240 in the morning at six o'clock in the morning, boom. You got to fucking drink it. What do you wear, clown shoes? I mean, I do. Oh, you know my shoe collection at this point. Come on. I mean, I literally wear clown shoes, so. 208 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:32,960 Zach actually has a collection of clown shoes. I might, I might. Zach, what size are your shoes? Size 13 foot, tiny penis. 209 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:46,140 Not with the right angles, not with the right angles. That's true. That's why the lighting is so dark in here. Yeah. It's all about the angle. It's that Rembrandt lighting. Perspective. Yeah, exactly. 210 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:57,560 Yeah, I mean, you could fit like three bottles in my, my shoes are 16s. Big shoes, big socks. What did you say? 16s over here. Your foot is a size 16? 211 00:32:57,900 --> 00:33:06,840 16. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah, it's not easy to find shoes, but it's easy to put your smeared off ice in them. Let me tell you. See, there you go. Probably fit three. 212 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:16,720 Yeah, so now anybody listening, they're just going to start slipping them in your shoe. I want royalties. Oh dear. All right, let's, let's knock out a couple of news stories 213 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:25,320 here and find out what Flex is drinking. Some breaking news last week, Oscar Blues Austin Brewery closed their tap room unexpectedly. 214 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:33,780 Oh no. Monster bought Canarchy, which is the parent company of Oscar Blues earlier in the year. 215 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:42,460 And now they're starting to clean house a little bit. So they say after more than seven years of producing and serving our beers from the Oscar Blues Brewery and tap room in Austin, 216 00:33:42,620 --> 00:33:51,660 we've made the very difficult decision to wind down operations facility. Austin's current production will be shifted over to other Canarchy facilities and our products will remain available 217 00:33:51,660 --> 00:34:00,900 for sale in retail on this day. They went on. It was kind of weird and also kind of shitty. They no noticed fired everybody that worked there. That shit. That's terrible. 218 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:11,239 Yeah, it wasn't a good day. So fuck you monster. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Terrible energy drinks. Yeah. I wouldn't even touch them. 219 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:20,239 Me neither. I don't drink them. Yeah. I thought there was something else to that. You guys were just like, I don't drink them either. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. 220 00:34:20,980 --> 00:34:29,440 I don't know. I honestly, I think they're terrible. We ran out of jokes. I do. Yeah. The only time I ever drank them 221 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:37,679 was when they were free at Warped Tours. There you go. And when you're sweaty and dehydrated because it's 110 degrees 222 00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:46,679 and you're just dancing and moshing, it's like let's put 200 grams of sugar per can in our body. That's smart. Thanks monster. 223 00:34:46,780 --> 00:34:56,280 A little diabetes and caffeine. Let's do this. Will for Brimley. Yeah, diabetes. Nothing like dehydrating the already dehydrated. Do they still make Rockstar energy drinks? 224 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:06,900 Yeah. Oh yeah. That's PepsiCo right there. Okay. I drank those. That was probably the last energy drink that I drank was a Rockstar and that was like 15 years ago. But I'm old. They're all terrible. 225 00:35:07,380 --> 00:35:17,020 I drink nothing but Ghost. Really? That energy drink? Yeah. Yeah. Transparent company, transparent labels. They tell you what's in it and that's what's in it. 226 00:35:17,420 --> 00:35:26,760 I do love their labeling. And their flavors are top notch. I drink ZipFizz. Sour Patch Kids. ZipFizz, you're a ZipFizz guy? Yeah. There you go. Mix it with a little water. 227 00:35:27,020 --> 00:35:35,920 You know, a bunch of vitamins, a little bit of caffeine. Good shit. I think I picked you guys as like pre-workout boys just like getting jacked on pre-workout Sure, why not? 228 00:35:36,740 --> 00:35:43,500 Go to Disneyland. We're gonna walk five miles today at Disneyland. Clawing his face off, just ugh. 229 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:53,160 I do pre-workout in like the real bad winter months here. Okay. Because like when you wake up and it's cold as shit because my house is like a cement refrigerator. 230 00:35:54,880 --> 00:36:04,120 Are all houses in Wisconsin? Yeah. So you don't want to get out of like the blankets early in the morning. So the only way to do it is to just get like super jacked and itchy. 231 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:14,620 Oh God, the itchiness. The beta-alani. Yes. Whatever I think of like pre-workout stuff, I just think of Cartman when he's trying to bulk up. It's like, I'm bulking up guys. 232 00:36:15,260 --> 00:36:23,360 What are you trying to bulk up to? Fat ass, mega fat ass? That's all I could think about. That'd be me if I was doing pre-workout. I was like, what are you bulking up to? 233 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:33,280 That's classic South Park right there. That's the good old days of South Park. Like early years, yeah. Best years. It's back everybody. Whoever wants to drop way too much money on a beer, 234 00:36:33,940 --> 00:36:43,340 $240 a bottle at 28%. Sam Adams. Sam Adams Utopias is returning for the 13th year. It's an odd number year, which means Boston Beer, 235 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:49,880 Sam Adams Utopias return is upon us. At 28%, they are uncarbonated $240 bottle. 236 00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:58,380 2023 releases a blend of several batches of Boston Beer's extreme beers that were barrel aged in American bourbon, scotch, peated whiskey, 237 00:36:58,580 --> 00:37:05,180 and French aperitif pinot de cher and barrels. Oui, oui. Yeah, Francois. Yep. 238 00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:14,420 Beer is brewed and fermented at Boston Beer's Cincinnati Brewery. Sounds like poo poo. I think it turned Ferguson's French too. 239 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:23,320 And then transferred back to the cask room for aging at the company's Pennsylvania brewery that then blended with vintage Utopias and sampled at the Boston facility 240 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:31,340 and bottled at the Dogfish Head facility in Delaware. A lot of traveling for this beer. So much traveling. Yeah, due to labor, or labor laws, 241 00:37:31,340 --> 00:37:41,220 due to alcohol laws, beer is not sold in- It's like the conversion van of beer. You know it. It's not sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, 242 00:37:41,420 --> 00:37:47,460 Idaho, Missouri. Alabama, man! Roll tide. Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, 243 00:37:48,020 --> 00:37:54,920 Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, or West Virginia, the worst of the Virginias. 244 00:37:55,340 --> 00:38:04,540 Yeah, that's like maybe the third worst state in the entire country. Behind. I was gonna ask the same thing. Alabama is number one. Okay, roll tide. 245 00:38:05,860 --> 00:38:14,700 Roll tide. Number two. Number two's tough. Utah? Okay. Utah's pretty trash. I'd say it's up there. Yeah, I thought you might go Florida, honestly, 246 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:24,600 but at least, I guess they have the beach. No, you know, they got the beach, the ocean. And they got the Florida man. Florida man games. Oh, February, coming up. Shark attacks. Right? Vanessa. 247 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:34,440 Yeah, that's true. Hi, Vanessa. Hi, Vanessa. It works out. Touche. Yeah, then like, you know, West Virginia, it's like all the hill people. Right, that's. Hills have eyes. 248 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:43,260 Yeah. Yeah, fuck that shit. West Virginia has a few eyes, for sure. They're all related. They eat like nothing but squirrel. West Virginia, we love you, by the way. Sure. 249 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:54,820 Top listing city next week, West Virginia. See how many times you can say West Virginia. Hey, Greg, that's not a city. It basically is, it's the same thing. 250 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:05,220 Oh, dear. All right, before we shit on West Virginia anymore, let's find out what Flex is drinking over there. In a world where craft beer is king, 251 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:11,460 a world where muscles are bigger than growlers, only one tongue can guide us. 252 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,360 One man, one tongue, one drinker. 253 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:25,060 In this world, we must find out what is Flex drinking? What is he drinking? 254 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:32,440 Today, I bought my beer solely based on the canner. That tracks. Yeah, you pigeonholed me. 255 00:39:34,460 --> 00:39:43,520 So I'm drinking Rocket Rodeo from Dream State Brewing, and they are located in, I read it earlier, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 256 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:53,680 Oh, speaking of Florida. So first off, before we get into anything about this beer, it is an astronaut riding this barrel rocket with this wicked looking, it was like a Mario. 257 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:59,680 It looks like a Mario bad guy thing. Yeah, and then they're going towards Earth. It's just, it's a wicked label. 258 00:40:01,020 --> 00:40:10,800 8%, so that then sold me as well. 18.99 for the four pack. You know, California standards, it's pretty all right. 259 00:40:10,900 --> 00:40:20,340 My standards, it was a little steep. I did nothing, sometimes before I buy beers, I will check untapped just to see what the hell's going on, 260 00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:28,360 what people think about it. You know, you don't want to buy it if it's got a one star. Exactly. So I didn't even look it up until I got here. 261 00:40:28,740 --> 00:40:38,340 On the show, Rocket Rodeo, collective 3.69. Oh, that's nice, dude. 262 00:40:39,020 --> 00:40:47,660 But only 102 check-ins, so I don't know if Dream State is small, if people just don't check in for them. 263 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:56,900 I don't know what's going on here. But Untappd reads, it's a New England double IPA at 8%, hopped with mosaic and strata blend, 264 00:40:57,420 --> 00:41:06,680 has a straw yellow hazy color, which as you see, it does. Accurate. With a mix of citrus fruits on the nose, reserved bitterness with a mild sweetness 265 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:13,820 to reinforce the juicy fruit flavors. Tons of pineapple funk with a berry finish. Okay. 266 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:20,560 So it says citrus fruits on the nose. It just smells like really hopped up, like almost like hop burn. 267 00:41:20,740 --> 00:41:28,700 I don't get much fruitiness out of the aroma or aromatics, if you will, at all. 268 00:41:28,780 --> 00:41:37,680 It just smells like a really hopped up beer. And then we warm up the old tongue jobber. Gotta start practicing that. So 69 King. 269 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:43,980 You would've gave me this beer and told me it was 8%. I'd call you a fucking liar. Goddamn liar. It is super thin. 270 00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:52,920 It is like a touch spritzy, like with the carbonation, but it drinks like a pail. And it's really amazing in that sense. 271 00:41:53,420 --> 00:42:00,440 It does have that pineapple, they say pineapple funk. It really just tastes like really, really ripe pineapple. 272 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:11,060 Don't get much of this berry finish because the pineapple flavor is so strong. I don't understand how anybody could not like this beer, 273 00:42:11,060 --> 00:42:18,440 and have it a collective rating at three, six, nine. I mean, even with the canner. 274 00:42:19,420 --> 00:42:29,400 The canner alone is a five out of five. Yeah, it's nuts. So might have to look into these guys a little bit more. Pretty decent stuff. 275 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:37,800 Nice. All right, a little bit of news before we hit on it. A little bit more news before we hit on it. Great Divide out of Denver has formed 276 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:47,340 a strategic partnership with Dry Dock Brewing. I could get into all the details, but the short of it is Dry Dock will be brewing at Great Divide for the most part. 277 00:42:48,060 --> 00:42:57,740 You're gonna dock, don't you need a little bit of lube? A bit. Well. Too far, too far. I mean, yeah, try it. That's why it's Dry Dock, not Wet Dock. 278 00:42:57,820 --> 00:43:07,360 Dry Dock, that's right. Yeah, so interesting to see what happens there. I see a lot of- New brewery name idea. You can't follow it up with inching into it either. 279 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:16,900 Oh dear. It seems like a lot of breweries, smaller breweries are starting to pick up partnerships 280 00:43:16,900 --> 00:43:23,820 like this as the world changes, the beer world changes. Well, it's strategic. Exactly, it's a strategic partnership. 281 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:32,260 Potential bad news for AB InBev. The Teamsters have ceased their negotiations. International Brotherhood of Teamsters 282 00:43:32,260 --> 00:43:41,260 has frozen national negotiations with AB due to the world's largest beer manufacturer refusing to improve healthcare benefits for workers and retirees. 283 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:49,460 They're refusing to negotiate with AB until the removal of a two-tier health benefit system is brought to the bargaining table. So basically, deliveries could be 284 00:43:50,100 --> 00:43:59,040 pretty fucked up in a few months here. So there's gonna be a strike for- Could be. Yeah, the contract expires February 29th of 24. 285 00:43:59,620 --> 00:44:08,800 Good, because people deserve good healthcare. That's true. And you're such a large company and make so much money that, I mean, I don't care if you work for a brewery that's shitty, 286 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:19,160 just, it's a job. Take care of your people. Yeah, healthcare's healthcare. Take care of your people. Yeah, exactly. That's one of those things that everyone should get. Healthcare. Golly gee, gosh darn it. Yeah, right? 287 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:28,560 What, the Mormon's getting mad now? What was that? Shit on you, Tyler. Trying to pass that AI grade test. I think we failed. 288 00:44:30,780 --> 00:44:36,780 Miserably. I don't think AI knows what 69 is. It'll look like it. God, I hope, I'm going to chat GPD right now. 289 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:48,340 What is 69 and how do you do it? Is that how that works? Can you 69 backwards? 290 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:59,620 Oh, God, where's that gonna go? Wait, one way to find out. Exactly. Let's get backwards, everyone. 291 00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:09,260 We'll end it on this one. Boy, should we end it. Yeah, we gotta end it. 25 year old Poughkeepsie man accused of driving drunk and striking two teens on Halloween. 292 00:45:09,980 --> 00:45:18,220 I know what you're thinking, this sounds really bad. 25 year old Poughkeepsie man. I was gonna say, not a good story for this show, Grant. That's exactly what I thought. He was arrested on Halloween 293 00:45:18,220 --> 00:45:26,460 after allegedly drunk driving on an electric scooter and striking two teenage trick or treaters. There we go. That's legit. 294 00:45:26,900 --> 00:45:35,940 If he killed two teenagers, I would not have read the story. Nakim McLean was taken into custody on October 31st 295 00:45:35,940 --> 00:45:43,900 following an incident on Sterling Drive. The teenager sustained only minor injuries, no shit, it was a scooter, and when treated at the scene, 296 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:53,180 he was charged with operation of an electric scooter while under the influence of alcohol. Try telling that to a future hiring person. Try, oh, God. Yeah, how do you do that? 297 00:45:53,340 --> 00:46:01,280 Oh, I see you have a DUI. Dude, it was a fucking scooter. I was on a bird, man. It was a Razor, bro. 298 00:46:01,540 --> 00:46:10,860 Yeah, how fucking embarrassing. But also a pretty solid fucking story. Especially those teens, hey man, how'd you get injured? Yeah, exactly. 299 00:46:11,220 --> 00:46:19,500 Got swiped by some drunk douche on a bird. Could be worse. I mean, you're not wrong, it definitely could be worse. I think last week or the week before, 300 00:46:19,740 --> 00:46:27,180 this guy got a DUI for riding a horse and drunk and now it's riding a horse. Well, you sold a scissor lift, didn't you? I got a DUI, yeah, a guy got a DUI 301 00:46:27,180 --> 00:46:35,980 on a two-story scissor lift just cruising on the highway, sitting on a 12th back of beer, went to get beers for his crew back at the construction site, cop pulled him over. 302 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:43,660 Yeah, yeah. I think I missed this one. I'm gonna look it up, I'll send it to you. That is fantastic. I mean, that is horrible. Cut that out and save it for the next show. 303 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:52,100 If Zach finds it, we'll talk about it next week for sure, because that is too good. I'm on it. All right, I think that's everything in the Hill of Music. 304 00:46:52,660 --> 00:47:01,240 Follow us on all the socials, Crap Beer Republic, of course, Flex Me Beer, underscores in between, and OG Beer Dude, underscores in between as well. 305 00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:11,940 805-53-BEER is the number to call. And if you're driving down the highway, look out for that vilfe, everybody. Yeah. Yeah. It'll get ya. 306 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:19,860 It'll get ya. Don't say that, good God. That's true, especially not about a van. Do you have the bumper sticker that says- 307 00:47:19,860 --> 00:47:28,500 I applied for a free candy license plate. No, come on. So we're gonna, okay. That was off air, that was off air. Not anymore, it's not. Tear, boys. 308 00:47:29,340 --> 00:47:37,280 Do you have a bumper sticker that says if this van's a rockin', don't come a knockin'? No, but I swear to God, if there's a listener who wants to send it to me, let's make this happen. 309 00:47:37,420 --> 00:47:47,160 There might be a co-host that wants to send it to you, so let's- Oh, please make this happen. Let's get this going. All right, I think that's everything. The AI grader's gonna love this show. 310 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:52,980 I hope everyone out there is staying very well hydrated. And on that note, good night, everybody.
