00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:19,100
Hey, welcome in everybody to the Craft Beer Republic!

2
00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:21,699
Thanks for drinkin', thanks for joinin'.

3
00:00:21,699 --> 00:00:26,779
I am Greg, and being joined by the buffest guy you know, and that's Flex.

4
00:00:26,779 --> 00:00:27,780
What's up big fella?

5
00:00:27,780 --> 00:00:28,780
Hello there, munchman!

6
00:00:28,780 --> 00:00:29,780
Hangin' out.

7
00:00:29,780 --> 00:00:30,780
Yeah?

8
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:31,780
Drinkin' some beer?

9
00:00:31,780 --> 00:00:32,780
Yeah, how are you doin'?

10
00:00:32,780 --> 00:00:34,780
I rarely ask you how you're doing.

11
00:00:34,780 --> 00:00:36,340
That is very nice of you.

12
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:37,340
Very kind.

13
00:00:37,340 --> 00:00:38,379
I'm, you know, I'm busy.

14
00:00:38,379 --> 00:00:40,899
I'm trying to juggle things.

15
00:00:40,899 --> 00:00:41,899
Work's been nuts.

16
00:00:41,899 --> 00:00:44,769
I'm lookin' forward to, like, the end of the year when things finally are gonna

17
00:00:44,769 --> 00:00:45,379
, in theory,

18
00:00:45,379 --> 00:00:47,979
calm down a little with work, and...

19
00:00:47,979 --> 00:00:51,399
But I'll keep tellin' my family that I'm busy as fuck, so I don't have to see

20
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:51,939
them.

21
00:00:51,939 --> 00:00:52,939
Hell yes.

22
00:00:52,939 --> 00:00:53,939
Yeah.

23
00:00:53,939 --> 00:00:59,450
Nothing like, nothing like Christmas, uh, with divorced parents, to just make

24
00:00:59,450 --> 00:00:59,939
you run

25
00:00:59,939 --> 00:01:00,940
all over everywhere.

26
00:01:00,940 --> 00:01:02,780
All over the fuckin' place.

27
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:03,780
All over the fuckin' planet.

28
00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:04,780
Terrible.

29
00:01:04,780 --> 00:01:05,780
My parents divorced.

30
00:01:05,780 --> 00:01:06,780
My parents are terrible.

31
00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:07,780
Yeah, her parents divorced.

32
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:09,900
Oh, what a shitshow Christmas.

33
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:12,799
Reveal four Christmases.

34
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:13,799
Only four?

35
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:14,799
Oh, I wish.

36
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:17,939
That'd be a dream come true.

37
00:01:17,939 --> 00:01:18,939
Anyways.

38
00:01:18,939 --> 00:01:19,939
Uh, not a therapy sesh.

39
00:01:19,939 --> 00:01:20,939
Welcome in, everybody.

40
00:01:20,939 --> 00:01:21,939
Not a Christmas show.

41
00:01:21,939 --> 00:01:22,939
Yeah.

42
00:01:22,939 --> 00:01:23,939
Well, wait 'til the beer I drink.

43
00:01:23,939 --> 00:01:24,939
Not yet.

44
00:01:24,939 --> 00:01:27,939
Wait 'til the beer I drink.

45
00:01:27,939 --> 00:01:28,939
Spoiler alert.

46
00:01:28,939 --> 00:01:29,939
Flex doesn't even know.

47
00:01:29,939 --> 00:01:34,859
Uh, find us on the socials, craftbeerrepublic and @flexmebeer_ is in between.

48
00:01:34,859 --> 00:01:35,859
Lots to get to today.

49
00:01:35,859 --> 00:01:40,890
We got a ludicrous libation law, we got some booze news to get to, there's been

50
00:01:40,890 --> 00:01:41,900
some fallout

51
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:46,580
from the Leiney closure, um, the Leiney family.

52
00:01:46,580 --> 00:01:48,900
Not thrilled about what's going on.

53
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:50,859
We'll talk about that.

54
00:01:50,859 --> 00:01:51,859
And uh, much, much more.

55
00:01:51,859 --> 00:01:52,859
Oh no, I was classing it up.

56
00:01:52,859 --> 00:01:56,499
So I'll talk about me being classy in a second, but before we get to any of

57
00:01:56,499 --> 00:01:57,580
that, top listing

58
00:01:57,580 --> 00:02:00,859
city of last week, shout out to Fremont, California.

59
00:02:00,859 --> 00:02:01,859
Oh, hey-o.

60
00:02:01,859 --> 00:02:02,859
Fremont.

61
00:02:02,859 --> 00:02:03,859
Fremont, what up?

62
00:02:03,859 --> 00:02:06,859
I think that's, uh, Psycho Bear territory.

63
00:02:06,859 --> 00:02:07,859
Okay.

64
00:02:07,859 --> 00:02:08,860
Psycho Bear.

65
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:12,900
Boy, he's terrifying.

66
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,939
I am not convinced that he's not a murderer.

67
00:02:16,939 --> 00:02:21,219
Um, I'm going to just think he's a really nice guy.

68
00:02:21,219 --> 00:02:22,219
Right.

69
00:02:22,219 --> 00:02:25,139
I bet he's, I, Psycho Bear, I bet you're a really nice guy.

70
00:02:25,139 --> 00:02:26,139
That's what we're all hoping for.

71
00:02:26,139 --> 00:02:27,699
It's like, it's an ironic name.

72
00:02:27,699 --> 00:02:28,699
That's-

73
00:02:28,699 --> 00:02:29,699
There we go.

74
00:02:29,699 --> 00:02:30,699
Maybe that's it.

75
00:02:30,699 --> 00:02:33,259
Maybe that's the like creepy tone that you use when you call it.

76
00:02:33,259 --> 00:02:34,259
Everything's ironic.

77
00:02:34,259 --> 00:02:35,259
Right?

78
00:02:35,259 --> 00:02:36,259
Yeah.

79
00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:37,259
It's yeah.

80
00:02:37,259 --> 00:02:38,259
Everything's ironic.

81
00:02:38,259 --> 00:02:39,259
Maybe he's really Canadian.

82
00:02:39,259 --> 00:02:44,139
Oh, that would make you, yeah, I mean super Alanis Morissette-y.

83
00:02:44,139 --> 00:02:45,139
Yeah.

84
00:02:45,139 --> 00:02:46,139
It's like rain.

85
00:02:46,139 --> 00:02:47,139
Yeah.

86
00:02:47,139 --> 00:02:48,139
On your wedding day.

87
00:02:48,139 --> 00:02:49,139
On your wedding day.

88
00:02:49,139 --> 00:02:50,139
Yeah.

89
00:02:50,139 --> 00:02:51,139
Yeah.

90
00:02:51,139 --> 00:02:53,780
I never understood the black fly in the Chardonnay cause I would just take the

91
00:02:53,780 --> 00:02:54,419
fly out and keep

92
00:02:54,419 --> 00:02:55,419
drinking the Chardonnay.

93
00:02:55,419 --> 00:02:56,419
Yeah.

94
00:02:56,419 --> 00:02:57,419
Alcohol kills germs.

95
00:02:57,419 --> 00:02:58,419
Yeah.

96
00:02:58,419 --> 00:02:59,780
That's, that's not ironic.

97
00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:03,889
My wife will often hand me a drink and go, there's a, there's a bug or a fly or

98
00:03:03,889 --> 00:03:04,539
whatever

99
00:03:04,539 --> 00:03:05,539
in here.

100
00:03:05,539 --> 00:03:08,139
And I go, yank with the old finger and hand it right back to her.

101
00:03:08,139 --> 00:03:09,139
Oh yeah.

102
00:03:09,139 --> 00:03:10,139
That happens.

103
00:03:10,139 --> 00:03:11,140
She just doesn't want to see it.

104
00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:13,340
Summer, summer patio beers for me.

105
00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:17,039
It's like you set the beer down on the table and you look over and there's

106
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:18,539
already a fruit

107
00:03:18,539 --> 00:03:25,939
fly that drown from intoxication and you just poke it out and hey, beer.

108
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:28,340
Which by the way, what a way to go.

109
00:03:28,340 --> 00:03:33,780
Oh, I couldn't ask her a better way to go.

110
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:34,780
Little jealous.

111
00:03:34,780 --> 00:03:35,780
Oh man.

112
00:03:35,780 --> 00:03:36,780
Cause of death.

113
00:03:36,780 --> 00:03:37,780
Intoxication.

114
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:41,970
I tell you what, people who ever, I don't know if I talked about it on the show

115
00:03:41,970 --> 00:03:42,540
, maybe

116
00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:45,500
like a year or so ago.

117
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:48,830
If you ever have fruit fly issues in your house, just leave out like a little

118
00:03:48,830 --> 00:03:49,180
glass

119
00:03:49,180 --> 00:03:52,620
of beer and you'll, Oh yeah, you did talk about that.

120
00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:54,539
You'll get quite a few.

121
00:03:54,539 --> 00:03:57,979
I think you actually said a can, like an empty can.

122
00:03:57,979 --> 00:04:00,779
It's got like the drippings at the bottom cause then it's harder for them to

123
00:04:00,779 --> 00:04:01,099
fly.

124
00:04:01,099 --> 00:04:02,099
To get out.

125
00:04:02,099 --> 00:04:03,099
Right, right, right, right.

126
00:04:03,099 --> 00:04:04,099
Yeah.

127
00:04:04,099 --> 00:04:05,099
Especially you had like one of those fruited sour.

128
00:04:05,099 --> 00:04:06,099
I think that's what brought it up.

129
00:04:06,099 --> 00:04:08,860
It was like a very sugary fruit and sour.

130
00:04:08,860 --> 00:04:12,699
That's what started the fruit fly plot for tongue twister.

131
00:04:12,699 --> 00:04:19,430
The fruit fly problem is I had a couple of buddies over for a can share and a

132
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:20,019
bunch of

133
00:04:20,019 --> 00:04:25,689
sours were had and I had a little recycle bin just inside the garage door that

134
00:04:25,689 --> 00:04:26,180
leads

135
00:04:26,180 --> 00:04:32,069
from the house to the garage and, uh, had that, uh, like 4,000 fruit flies

136
00:04:32,069 --> 00:04:33,100
later, uh,

137
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:34,100
finally got rid of them.

138
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:38,579
But I had to throw the recycle bin away too, because even though I scrub it out

139
00:04:38,579 --> 00:04:39,180
with like

140
00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:43,620
Dawn dish soap and everything, those fuckers just kept coming back.

141
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:44,620
Crazy.

142
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:45,620
Yeah.

143
00:04:45,620 --> 00:04:46,620
Bleach it next time.

144
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:47,620
Blech.

145
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:48,620
I hate using bleach.

146
00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:50,300
Oh, I love bleach.

147
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:52,939
It's my favorite.

148
00:04:52,939 --> 00:04:55,259
I'm not even, I sound like a murderer.

149
00:04:55,259 --> 00:04:58,579
I was going to say, I thought you were non-murderer Greg.

150
00:04:58,579 --> 00:05:00,740
Well, I guess you'll find out.

151
00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:01,740
Oh boy.

152
00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:04,779
Uh, we have, uh, here goes Greg being classy.

153
00:05:04,779 --> 00:05:09,819
We have our wine de cancer, you know, it gets stained from the red wine.

154
00:05:09,819 --> 00:05:12,180
Who admits that they have one of these?

155
00:05:12,180 --> 00:05:13,180
This guy.

156
00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:14,180
Oh man.

157
00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:15,180
Classy.

158
00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:16,180
Anyways, it gets stained from the red wine.

159
00:05:16,180 --> 00:05:17,899
The only way to get it out, bleach it.

160
00:05:17,899 --> 00:05:19,459
Is there a little bleach in there?

161
00:05:19,459 --> 00:05:20,459
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky.

162
00:05:20,459 --> 00:05:21,459
That makes sense.

163
00:05:21,459 --> 00:05:22,459
It's all good.

164
00:05:22,459 --> 00:05:23,459
All good to go.

165
00:05:23,459 --> 00:05:24,459
Nice and clean.

166
00:05:24,459 --> 00:05:26,019
They got to rinse it for like, you know, an hour and a half straight so you don

167
00:05:26,019 --> 00:05:26,220
't kill

168
00:05:26,220 --> 00:05:27,220
yourself.

169
00:05:27,220 --> 00:05:32,370
But, but yeah, but then no, no classiest dude wants to have a stained wine to

170
00:05:32,370 --> 00:05:33,060
canter.

171
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:34,060
What are you poor?

172
00:05:34,060 --> 00:05:35,060
No.

173
00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:36,060
How trashy.

174
00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:39,540
Oh, Hey, look at this guy got his wine to canter from Goodwill.

175
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:42,220
It's still got the stains in it.

176
00:05:42,220 --> 00:05:43,220
What are you drinking?

177
00:05:43,220 --> 00:05:44,220
Two buck Chuck.

178
00:05:44,220 --> 00:05:45,220
All right.

179
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:46,220
Loser.

180
00:05:46,220 --> 00:05:48,179
That's embarrassing.

181
00:05:48,179 --> 00:05:50,600
Not in this house, motherfucker.

182
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,600
Only classy.

183
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,600
Get out of here.

184
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,600
Classiest.

185
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,600
I swear.

186
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,859
I don't even want to talk about now.

187
00:05:57,859 --> 00:06:01,730
I think you should talk about it anymore because I was, I was bringing it up so

188
00:06:01,730 --> 00:06:02,339
you could laugh

189
00:06:02,339 --> 00:06:03,860
at me before we get there.

190
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:04,860
Let's find out what you're drinking.

191
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:05,860
Oh boy.

192
00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:06,860
In a world where craft beer is king.

193
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:07,860
A world where muscles are bigger than growlers.

194
00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:08,860
Only one tongue can guide us.

195
00:06:08,860 --> 00:06:09,860
One man.

196
00:06:09,860 --> 00:06:10,859
One drink.

197
00:06:10,859 --> 00:06:27,449
One tongue jobber in this world, we must find out what is flat springs from my

198
00:06:27,449 --> 00:06:29,379
stained beer

199
00:06:29,379 --> 00:06:30,379
glass.

200
00:06:30,379 --> 00:06:36,879
Oh, so unclassy bleaching that you, you would think I took a trip to

201
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:37,899
Connecticut.

202
00:06:37,899 --> 00:06:39,860
I'm drinking another one out of North Haven.

203
00:06:39,860 --> 00:06:40,860
Bristol?

204
00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:41,859
No.

205
00:06:41,859 --> 00:06:42,860
The other city.

206
00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:43,860
North Haven.

207
00:06:43,860 --> 00:06:46,019
Um, fat orange cat brewing.

208
00:06:46,019 --> 00:06:47,019
Hmm.

209
00:06:47,019 --> 00:06:49,499
Uh, I think I've had a couple of their beers before in my life.

210
00:06:49,499 --> 00:06:53,820
Uh, this one is called one cat on the chess board.

211
00:06:53,820 --> 00:07:00,420
Uh, never, never played chess, but I do know that there are zero cat pieces.

212
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:04,720
So somebody, you could have convinced me that there was, I wasn't going to try.

213
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,339
I thought you were pretty classy.

214
00:07:06,339 --> 00:07:08,220
I figured you're like a chess whiz.

215
00:07:08,220 --> 00:07:09,220
Nope.

216
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:10,220
Never played once in my life.

217
00:07:10,220 --> 00:07:11,220
Not to be confused with a cheese whiz.

218
00:07:11,220 --> 00:07:12,779
That I am.

219
00:07:12,779 --> 00:07:13,780
Yes.

220
00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:14,779
Yes.

221
00:07:14,779 --> 00:07:20,339
Um, but so this is a new England style single hop IPA and it doesn't say

222
00:07:20,339 --> 00:07:21,699
anywhere on the

223
00:07:21,699 --> 00:07:25,059
can what hop they used.

224
00:07:25,059 --> 00:07:27,420
So thank goodness for untapped.

225
00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:30,019
One of the few times we've ever said that.

226
00:07:30,019 --> 00:07:31,019
Right.

227
00:07:31,019 --> 00:07:35,819
Whether you thoroughly enjoy the app or you use it sparingly.

228
00:07:35,819 --> 00:07:38,379
Thank you untapped for telling me.

229
00:07:38,379 --> 00:07:39,939
Thank you untapped.

230
00:07:39,939 --> 00:07:41,379
What I'm actually drinking.

231
00:07:41,379 --> 00:07:48,399
Um, so this single hop IPA is, uh, the Eldorado variant untapped.

232
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:49,699
Thank you.

233
00:07:49,699 --> 00:07:52,819
Says, uh, this first of a new series.

234
00:07:52,819 --> 00:07:53,819
Okay.

235
00:07:53,819 --> 00:07:54,819
It's new.

236
00:07:54,819 --> 00:08:00,310
Maybe what you should do is put what hop you're using on the can for the second

237
00:08:00,310 --> 00:08:01,100
of the new

238
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:02,099
series.

239
00:08:02,099 --> 00:08:07,939
Then that says, uh, new style, a single hop IPA series.

240
00:08:07,939 --> 00:08:11,420
And then it says, Oh, it does say in the description here.

241
00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:12,420
Okay.

242
00:08:12,420 --> 00:08:17,250
Uh, one cat on the chess board, a 7.2% Eldorado still doesn't say on the can

243
00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:18,059
says on untapped

244
00:08:18,059 --> 00:08:21,779
not on the can dumbasses I shouldn't call them dumbasses.

245
00:08:21,779 --> 00:08:23,100
I'm sure they're nice people.

246
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:26,620
I bet fat orange cat people, I bet they're not even all fat.

247
00:08:26,620 --> 00:08:27,620
No.

248
00:08:27,620 --> 00:08:28,620
Some are probably just chunky.

249
00:08:28,620 --> 00:08:29,620
Yeah.

250
00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:30,620
You know, or what?

251
00:08:30,620 --> 00:08:31,620
What's a fat cat called?

252
00:08:31,620 --> 00:08:32,620
What's a fat cat?

253
00:08:32,620 --> 00:08:33,620
It's a, the chonk.

254
00:08:33,620 --> 00:08:36,620
Oh, it's a chonky cat.

255
00:08:36,620 --> 00:08:41,670
Which is where tricker brewing gets their chonk summers from, but that's

256
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:42,660
neither here

257
00:08:42,660 --> 00:08:43,660
or there.

258
00:08:43,660 --> 00:08:44,660
Cause nobody's drinking tricker.

259
00:08:44,660 --> 00:08:45,660
Not a catch.

260
00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:46,659
You're not a cat show.

261
00:08:46,659 --> 00:08:50,860
Um, borderline tricker show cause their beer, any weasels.

262
00:08:50,860 --> 00:08:55,139
Um, so it's been about three years since I've had a single hop Eldorado beer.

263
00:08:55,139 --> 00:08:58,340
Um, Eldorado, I don't think I've ever had one.

264
00:08:58,340 --> 00:09:00,860
You don't normally find it single hopped.

265
00:09:00,860 --> 00:09:07,259
Um, usually beside like a Citra or a mosaic or then even on like the West coast

266
00:09:07,259 --> 00:09:07,940
side,

267
00:09:07,940 --> 00:09:12,940
you'll get like a Centennial or a cascade C's, right?

268
00:09:12,940 --> 00:09:14,139
Tons of C's.

269
00:09:14,139 --> 00:09:17,899
Um, so 7.2%.

270
00:09:17,899 --> 00:09:24,120
What really drew me in here, Greg, you know, I'm a cheapskate, big fat cheapsk

271
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,620
ate here.

272
00:09:25,620 --> 00:09:26,620
Big fat orange cheapskate.

273
00:09:26,620 --> 00:09:29,100
Um, this is where the whole algorithm came from.

274
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:30,100
You being a cheapskate.

275
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:31,940
$13.99 for this four pack.

276
00:09:31,940 --> 00:09:32,940
Okay.

277
00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:38,779
So 7.2, $13.99 could be pretty high up on the new England.

278
00:09:38,779 --> 00:09:39,779
Let's get after it.

279
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:40,779
Uh, craftbeer.com/algorithm, craftbeerrepublic.com/algorithm.

280
00:09:40,779 --> 00:09:46,659
On the eyes here, um, it's, it's hazy.

281
00:09:46,659 --> 00:09:47,659
It's cloudy.

282
00:09:47,659 --> 00:09:48,659
It's murky.

283
00:09:48,659 --> 00:09:49,659
Yeah.

284
00:09:49,659 --> 00:09:50,659
Yellowy color.

285
00:09:50,659 --> 00:09:54,440
I'm not as pale as I enjoy, but it's still got a nice color.

286
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,980
It's got a nice head, some decent lacing so far.

287
00:09:58,980 --> 00:09:59,980
Yeah.

288
00:09:59,980 --> 00:10:00,980
Yeah.

289
00:10:00,980 --> 00:10:01,980
You see that right there?

290
00:10:01,980 --> 00:10:02,980
It's no high life light.

291
00:10:02,980 --> 00:10:03,980
No, it's not.

292
00:10:03,980 --> 00:10:04,980
It's good.

293
00:10:04,980 --> 00:10:05,980
It's not.

294
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:10,460
Um, on the old schnoz here, picking up, um, how many times have you ever

295
00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:11,580
smelled up like

296
00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:14,700
a Bosque pear, like a Brown pear?

297
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:16,980
Uh, between zero and half.

298
00:10:16,980 --> 00:10:17,980
Okay.

299
00:10:17,980 --> 00:10:18,980
Cause this is what this smells like.

300
00:10:18,980 --> 00:10:21,940
I don't think I've ever had a Brown pear before.

301
00:10:21,940 --> 00:10:24,379
A little pear, you know, it's, it's Bosque pear.

302
00:10:24,379 --> 00:10:25,379
They're normal pears.

303
00:10:25,379 --> 00:10:26,379
It's like an everyday pear.

304
00:10:26,379 --> 00:10:28,379
You can get it at the supermarket.

305
00:10:28,379 --> 00:10:29,379
Oh, okay.

306
00:10:29,379 --> 00:10:30,379
I enjoy it.

307
00:10:30,379 --> 00:10:31,379
This smells wonderful.

308
00:10:31,379 --> 00:10:32,379
It's kind of fresh.

309
00:10:32,379 --> 00:10:38,000
So we'll, uh, get the old tongue jobber a little wet.

310
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Ooh.

311
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Yeah.

312
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
That sounded violent.

313
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
I'm sorry.

314
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Very, very violent.

315
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Three, two, one.

316
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Here we go.

317
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
So aggressive.

318
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,250
I think counting yourself in like this is a TV show.

319
00:10:52,250 --> 00:10:53,250
Okay.

320
00:10:53,250 --> 00:10:55,350
Super light bodied here.

321
00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:57,769
Wonderful body for a 7.2%.

322
00:10:57,769 --> 00:10:59,490
What really fascinates me about this beer.

323
00:10:59,490 --> 00:11:06,789
So I did look up Eldorado hop profile before drinking this to see what I maybe

324
00:11:06,789 --> 00:11:08,169
I'm smelling.

325
00:11:08,169 --> 00:11:15,220
If I can get any of these flavor notes out of the hops, watermelon, like candy

326
00:11:15,220 --> 00:11:16,470
flavor

327
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:19,330
watermelon coming out of this Jolly Rancher stuff.

328
00:11:19,330 --> 00:11:20,330
Yes.

329
00:11:20,330 --> 00:11:21,330
Like it does.

330
00:11:21,330 --> 00:11:22,330
It doesn't hit.

331
00:11:22,330 --> 00:11:23,330
No, it's not.

332
00:11:23,330 --> 00:11:26,850
Cherry is, but it doesn't hit right away.

333
00:11:26,850 --> 00:11:33,700
It almost like you get a little peach, a little candy lemon, and then some

334
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:35,809
candy watermelon.

335
00:11:35,809 --> 00:11:37,649
It's like a fruit punch.

336
00:11:37,649 --> 00:11:43,179
And then like a low to medium bitterness, but it's not like a lingering

337
00:11:43,179 --> 00:11:44,490
bitterness.

338
00:11:44,490 --> 00:11:48,529
It's just kind of like natural hop bitterness.

339
00:11:48,529 --> 00:11:49,529
It's kind of enjoyable.

340
00:11:49,529 --> 00:11:55,080
Like it almost brings everything together with the light body that touches

341
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,070
sweet notes

342
00:11:56,070 --> 00:12:00,210
and then just even it out a little bit with the bitterness.

343
00:12:00,210 --> 00:12:01,210
Nice.

344
00:12:01,210 --> 00:12:04,210
So I think this is a fantastic beer for the price.

345
00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:05,210
Yeah.

346
00:12:05,210 --> 00:12:06,210
What'd you say?

347
00:12:06,210 --> 00:12:07,210
12.99?

348
00:12:07,210 --> 00:12:08,210
12.99.

349
00:12:08,210 --> 00:12:09,210
13.99.

350
00:12:09,210 --> 00:12:10,210
13.99.

351
00:12:10,210 --> 00:12:11,210
7.2%.

352
00:12:11,210 --> 00:12:17,210
Untapped has it at a 3.94, only a thousand and a half ratings.

353
00:12:17,210 --> 00:12:20,450
But one friend rated it a 4.2.

354
00:12:20,450 --> 00:12:23,649
I'd take it closer to the 4.2 than I would the 3.

355
00:12:23,649 --> 00:12:26,889
Oh, which if you listen to last week's episode, still kind of funny.

356
00:12:26,889 --> 00:12:28,370
It's like, oh, this is a great beer.

357
00:12:28,370 --> 00:12:33,710
B minus.

358
00:12:33,710 --> 00:12:35,570
I'm snobby to a point.

359
00:12:35,570 --> 00:12:36,570
I know.

360
00:12:36,570 --> 00:12:39,330
It's just, you know, it's Untapped's fault.

361
00:12:39,330 --> 00:12:40,330
Yeah.

362
00:12:40,330 --> 00:12:43,250
They built us, essentially.

363
00:12:43,250 --> 00:12:46,110
If you did it on the beer advocate scale, which is to a hundred, you would

364
00:12:46,110 --> 00:12:46,610
probably

365
00:12:46,610 --> 00:12:50,480
give it like a 92 or something, you know, like an A minus range or maybe even a

366
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:50,889
solid

367
00:12:50,889 --> 00:12:51,889
A.

368
00:12:51,889 --> 00:12:52,889
Yeah.

369
00:12:52,889 --> 00:12:53,889
That's good.

370
00:12:53,889 --> 00:12:54,889
I just had another sip of this.

371
00:12:54,889 --> 00:12:55,889
This is real good.

372
00:12:55,889 --> 00:12:56,889
Yeah.

373
00:12:56,889 --> 00:12:57,889
This is a good beer.

374
00:12:57,889 --> 00:12:58,889
Really good beer.

375
00:12:58,889 --> 00:12:59,889
Yeah.

376
00:12:59,889 --> 00:13:00,889
Good stuff.

377
00:13:00,889 --> 00:13:03,210
Well, maybe we'll have a beer outside of Connecticut next time.

378
00:13:03,210 --> 00:13:04,210
Maybe.

379
00:13:04,210 --> 00:13:05,789
But who knew Connecticut, right?

380
00:13:05,789 --> 00:13:06,809
So here's the funny thing.

381
00:13:06,809 --> 00:13:08,450
I'm going to do shit out of order.

382
00:13:08,450 --> 00:13:13,590
I swear to everybody, two weeks in a row now, Flex has had Connecticut beers.

383
00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:15,009
This was not planned in any way.

384
00:13:15,009 --> 00:13:18,090
I never know what Flex is drinking before the show start.

385
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:20,610
Sometimes I don't even tell him that I even bought beer yet.

386
00:13:20,610 --> 00:13:21,610
Right.

387
00:13:21,610 --> 00:13:24,149
Sometimes I don't even know if he has beer in his house and we start recording

388
00:13:24,149 --> 00:13:24,450
and he

389
00:13:24,450 --> 00:13:25,450
holds up a beer.

390
00:13:25,450 --> 00:13:26,450
I'm like, oh, thank God.

391
00:13:26,450 --> 00:13:27,450
He's got a beer.

392
00:13:27,450 --> 00:13:28,450
This is all accurate.

393
00:13:28,450 --> 00:13:29,450
Yeah.

394
00:13:29,450 --> 00:13:32,690
I pulled a ludicrous libation law from Connecticut.

395
00:13:32,690 --> 00:13:34,090
That's wild.

396
00:13:34,090 --> 00:13:36,409
Totally random, had nothing to do with your beers.

397
00:13:36,409 --> 00:13:38,529
I swear to God.

398
00:13:38,529 --> 00:13:39,529
Let's see.

399
00:13:39,529 --> 00:13:40,529
Let's just do it now.

400
00:13:40,529 --> 00:13:41,529
Yeah.

401
00:13:41,529 --> 00:13:42,529
Let's see what this is.

402
00:13:42,529 --> 00:13:43,529
I'm intrigued.

403
00:13:43,529 --> 00:13:50,039
So in Connecticut, state law says that town records cannot be stored where

404
00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:51,009
alcohol is

405
00:13:51,009 --> 00:13:52,289
sold.

406
00:13:52,289 --> 00:13:54,970
That sounds pretty normal.

407
00:13:54,970 --> 00:13:57,049
Why did that need to become a law?

408
00:13:57,049 --> 00:13:58,049
Right.

409
00:13:58,049 --> 00:13:59,889
Like that's just kind of like common sense.

410
00:13:59,889 --> 00:14:00,889
Right.

411
00:14:00,889 --> 00:14:04,970
It's like going down to the local pub and like, hey, I got some files for you.

412
00:14:04,970 --> 00:14:10,620
Well, maybe way back in the day, maybe I have to assume this is a prohibition

413
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:11,330
era law.

414
00:14:11,330 --> 00:14:13,129
I would assume so.

415
00:14:13,129 --> 00:14:14,129
Yeah.

416
00:14:14,129 --> 00:14:18,850
Connecticut general statutes 3097 states that town and probate records must not

417
00:14:18,850 --> 00:14:19,289
be kept

418
00:14:19,289 --> 00:14:24,049
in any place where alcohol, our alcoholic liquor is sold.

419
00:14:24,049 --> 00:14:28,019
The statute aims to maintain the integrity and security of official records by

420
00:14:28,019 --> 00:14:28,529
ensuring

421
00:14:28,529 --> 00:14:33,149
they are stored in environments free from the potential risks associated with

422
00:14:33,149 --> 00:14:33,649
alcohol

423
00:14:33,649 --> 00:14:35,330
sales venues.

424
00:14:35,330 --> 00:14:36,330
That must be what it was.

425
00:14:36,330 --> 00:14:37,330
Had to be prohibition.

426
00:14:37,330 --> 00:14:38,330
Yeah.

427
00:14:38,330 --> 00:14:39,330
Cause that's just common sense.

428
00:14:39,330 --> 00:14:40,909
It's weird as fuck.

429
00:14:40,909 --> 00:14:43,330
But I guess when you only have two towns in your state.

430
00:14:43,330 --> 00:14:44,330
Yeah.

431
00:14:44,330 --> 00:14:45,330
Bristol.

432
00:14:45,330 --> 00:14:46,330
Maybe.

433
00:14:46,330 --> 00:14:47,330
North Haven.

434
00:14:47,330 --> 00:14:48,330
Yeah.

435
00:14:48,330 --> 00:14:49,330
Maybe you run out of place to store shit.

436
00:14:49,330 --> 00:14:54,169
Although I have heard unpopular opinion, Connecticut is supposed to have some

437
00:14:54,169 --> 00:14:56,289
of the best pizza

438
00:14:56,289 --> 00:14:57,289
in the nation.

439
00:14:57,289 --> 00:14:58,289
Oh, really?

440
00:14:58,289 --> 00:14:59,289
Yes.

441
00:14:59,289 --> 00:15:00,289
I've not heard that.

442
00:15:00,289 --> 00:15:05,730
I've got a buddy out there, Zach, he lives in Connecticut and he swears by the

443
00:15:05,730 --> 00:15:06,250
pizza

444
00:15:06,250 --> 00:15:07,250
in Connecticut.

445
00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:09,330
That's not where I expected that going.

446
00:15:09,330 --> 00:15:10,330
Supposed to.

447
00:15:10,330 --> 00:15:11,330
Yeah.

448
00:15:11,330 --> 00:15:16,480
It's supposed to trump New York style pizza and I mean, deep dishes, trash show

449
00:15:16,730 --> 00:15:17,929
Don't even put Chicago out there.

450
00:15:17,929 --> 00:15:18,929
There's deep.

451
00:15:18,929 --> 00:15:19,929
That's not a pizza.

452
00:15:19,929 --> 00:15:20,929
That's a casserole.

453
00:15:20,929 --> 00:15:21,929
It's trash.

454
00:15:21,929 --> 00:15:22,929
It doesn't matter what it is.

455
00:15:22,929 --> 00:15:23,929
Casserole.

456
00:15:23,929 --> 00:15:24,929
It's a trash role.

457
00:15:24,929 --> 00:15:30,049
Sorry, Chicago.

458
00:15:30,049 --> 00:15:33,889
I've never had a legitimate, like, like from Chicago, you know, I've had

459
00:15:33,889 --> 00:15:34,889
Chicago style,

460
00:15:34,889 --> 00:15:35,889
whatever out here.

461
00:15:35,889 --> 00:15:38,049
And yeah, I don't, I don't need it in my life.

462
00:15:38,049 --> 00:15:39,049
That's a casserole.

463
00:15:39,049 --> 00:15:41,529
It don't matter if you have it in Chicago or outside of Chicago.

464
00:15:41,529 --> 00:15:42,529
It's still trash.

465
00:15:42,529 --> 00:15:43,529
It's trash.

466
00:15:43,529 --> 00:15:44,529
Yeah.

467
00:15:44,529 --> 00:15:49,470
Hey Mel, beer girl Mel, um, what say you to the New York versus Connecticut

468
00:15:49,470 --> 00:15:50,409
comparison

469
00:15:50,409 --> 00:15:51,409
there?

470
00:15:51,409 --> 00:15:52,409
In fact.

471
00:15:52,409 --> 00:15:53,409
Yeah.

472
00:15:53,409 --> 00:15:54,409
Cause Mel, so Mel knows Zach too.

473
00:15:54,409 --> 00:15:55,929
I don't even want Mel's opinion.

474
00:15:55,929 --> 00:15:57,730
I want Lou's opinion.

475
00:15:57,730 --> 00:16:00,570
I want fucking street meets to tell us what he thinks.

476
00:16:00,570 --> 00:16:05,490
I feel like Lou don't got an opinion if, if he can eat it, it's good.

477
00:16:05,490 --> 00:16:06,490
Okay.

478
00:16:06,490 --> 00:16:07,490
You might be right there.

479
00:16:07,490 --> 00:16:08,649
I just feel like he eats everything.

480
00:16:08,649 --> 00:16:11,610
So he's for those who don't know, Lou is Mel's husband.

481
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:16,419
Uh, I just feel like he would have the no, because he's probably eaten both a

482
00:16:16,419 --> 00:16:16,970
lot.

483
00:16:16,970 --> 00:16:19,329
But uh, somebody from New York and or Connecticut.

484
00:16:19,329 --> 00:16:20,330
Let us know.

485
00:16:20,330 --> 00:16:21,330
Yeah.

486
00:16:21,330 --> 00:16:26,419
Lou eats cold pork chops right out of the fridge, rips the tupperware lid off,

487
00:16:26,419 --> 00:16:26,889
just

488
00:16:26,889 --> 00:16:32,370
starts gnawing on cold pork chops and which I'm not even going to be mad about.

489
00:16:32,370 --> 00:16:34,529
I respect the hell out of that.

490
00:16:34,529 --> 00:16:35,929
Dude, me too.

491
00:16:35,929 --> 00:16:40,669
This fucker like ran a marathon with chicken in hand.

492
00:16:40,669 --> 00:16:42,490
Mel sent us the videos.

493
00:16:42,490 --> 00:16:46,579
I love when Mel sends us Lou videos cause it's just like him running with food

494
00:16:46,579 --> 00:16:47,009
in his

495
00:16:47,009 --> 00:16:48,009
hand.

496
00:16:48,009 --> 00:16:49,529
Was that the New York marathon they did or something?

497
00:16:49,529 --> 00:16:50,529
I can't remember.

498
00:16:50,529 --> 00:16:51,529
Something like that.

499
00:16:51,529 --> 00:16:53,210
It was, it was a few weeks ago at this point at least.

500
00:16:53,210 --> 00:16:55,409
Uh, but yeah, it's just like, Hey, look at Lou.

501
00:16:55,409 --> 00:16:57,370
It's just him eating as he's running.

502
00:16:57,370 --> 00:16:58,809
Stop as he does.

503
00:16:58,809 --> 00:17:02,169
Get a couple slices of pizza, right?

504
00:17:02,169 --> 00:17:03,529
Get a hot dog.

505
00:17:03,529 --> 00:17:04,529
Yeah.

506
00:17:04,529 --> 00:17:06,650
Oh, I would throw up so hard.

507
00:17:06,650 --> 00:17:07,650
Oh yeah.

508
00:17:07,650 --> 00:17:08,650
I don't know how he does it.

509
00:17:08,650 --> 00:17:10,970
Or I would sit down and eat and I would just never get back up.

510
00:17:10,970 --> 00:17:11,970
Or that.

511
00:17:11,970 --> 00:17:12,970
Yeah.

512
00:17:12,970 --> 00:17:16,529
But I mean to try and keep moving or even to stop, eat and then keep moving.

513
00:17:16,529 --> 00:17:17,529
Yeah.

514
00:17:17,529 --> 00:17:18,529
That sounds terrible.

515
00:17:18,529 --> 00:17:19,529
Yeah.

516
00:17:19,529 --> 00:17:21,769
It sounds so bad.

517
00:17:21,769 --> 00:17:22,769
What a man.

518
00:17:22,769 --> 00:17:24,730
He is a machine.

519
00:17:24,730 --> 00:17:25,730
He's not a man.

520
00:17:25,730 --> 00:17:26,730
He's a machine.

521
00:17:26,730 --> 00:17:27,730
You're right.

522
00:17:27,730 --> 00:17:28,730
He will take over the world.

523
00:17:28,730 --> 00:17:33,549
The best part is too with that marathon, like the last one he did as well, zero

524
00:17:33,549 --> 00:17:34,569
training,

525
00:17:34,569 --> 00:17:45,150
just wakes up, runs 26 point however many, four miles, two, 13.1 and 26.2, 26.2

526
00:17:45,150 --> 00:17:46,170
miles.

527
00:17:46,170 --> 00:17:48,529
And then that just, that's his day.

528
00:17:48,529 --> 00:17:52,849
And then he sleeps, sleeps for about 14 hours after that.

529
00:17:52,849 --> 00:17:54,609
And then he's good to go.

530
00:17:54,609 --> 00:17:57,970
I've ran two half marathons in my life.

531
00:17:57,970 --> 00:18:02,759
The first one I trained pretty extensively for, and I did much better than I

532
00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:03,690
expected.

533
00:18:03,690 --> 00:18:05,329
I was very proud of myself.

534
00:18:05,329 --> 00:18:06,690
I was proud of you.

535
00:18:06,690 --> 00:18:07,690
Well, thank you.

536
00:18:07,690 --> 00:18:12,980
The second one, life got in the way, did little to no training for it, went and

537
00:18:12,980 --> 00:18:13,970
ran it, blew

538
00:18:13,970 --> 00:18:15,490
out my knee in the second mile.

539
00:18:15,490 --> 00:18:16,490
Come on.

540
00:18:16,490 --> 00:18:19,609
And then my bitch of a girlfriend at the time was like, you can't quit now

541
00:18:19,609 --> 00:18:19,930
because if you

542
00:18:19,930 --> 00:18:22,640
don't keep a certain time, they come and pick you up in a golf cart, like a

543
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,210
medical golf

544
00:18:23,210 --> 00:18:24,210
cart.

545
00:18:24,210 --> 00:18:25,730
Oh, I was like, Oh, I'm just gonna get picked up.

546
00:18:25,730 --> 00:18:26,890
You know, you keep running.

547
00:18:26,890 --> 00:18:27,890
You're not injured.

548
00:18:27,890 --> 00:18:28,890
I'm injured.

549
00:18:28,890 --> 00:18:29,890
It's like, no, you can't quit now.

550
00:18:29,890 --> 00:18:30,890
You can't be a bitch about it.

551
00:18:30,890 --> 00:18:37,250
I was like, so my dumb ass walked 11 miles on a blown out knee.

552
00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:42,849
Oh, so much pain and definitely did permanent damage.

553
00:18:42,849 --> 00:18:44,490
Maybe you're the machine.

554
00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:45,490
You know what?

555
00:18:45,490 --> 00:18:46,490
Maybe.

556
00:18:46,490 --> 00:18:48,250
But I still would've thrown up if I'd eaten a corn dog along the way.

557
00:18:48,250 --> 00:18:49,250
Greg the machine.

558
00:18:49,250 --> 00:18:50,250
I like that.

559
00:18:50,250 --> 00:18:51,250
Yeah.

560
00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:52,250
It's got a good ring to it.

561
00:18:52,250 --> 00:18:53,250
Coming out to the ring.

562
00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:59,130
Weighing in at way too much, much, much.

563
00:18:59,130 --> 00:19:00,410
Boo.

564
00:19:00,410 --> 00:19:03,369
Anywho, lose the real machine around here.

565
00:19:03,369 --> 00:19:04,369
Love that guy.

566
00:19:04,369 --> 00:19:05,369
Love you, Lou.

567
00:19:05,369 --> 00:19:06,369
Yeah.

568
00:19:06,369 --> 00:19:07,369
Love you, Lou.

569
00:19:07,369 --> 00:19:10,259
And all your caloric intakes that doesn't appear to affect you in any way,

570
00:19:10,259 --> 00:19:10,769
shape, or

571
00:19:10,769 --> 00:19:11,769
form.

572
00:19:11,769 --> 00:19:12,769
No, zero.

573
00:19:12,769 --> 00:19:13,769
Zero.

574
00:19:13,769 --> 00:19:14,769
Zero.

575
00:19:14,769 --> 00:19:15,769
Zero.

576
00:19:15,769 --> 00:19:16,769
Zero.

577
00:19:16,769 --> 00:19:17,769
Zero.

578
00:19:17,769 --> 00:19:18,769
Zero.

579
00:19:18,769 --> 00:19:22,890
A few weeks ago, I was on the tap room podcast with our homie, Mike.

580
00:19:22,890 --> 00:19:25,539
And one of the things we talked about on there was something we've talked on

581
00:19:25,539 --> 00:19:26,130
here about on

582
00:19:26,130 --> 00:19:31,130
here recently, which is Trader Joe's has become like my bottle shop because you

583
00:19:31,130 --> 00:19:31,950
can go crack

584
00:19:31,950 --> 00:19:32,950
off singles.

585
00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:33,950
Right.

586
00:19:33,950 --> 00:19:37,490
I've gotten so many comments about people not knowing that that was a thing.

587
00:19:37,490 --> 00:19:41,299
Our friends over at Beer Bikini messaged me after the tap room one came out,

588
00:19:41,299 --> 00:19:42,210
said, listen

589
00:19:42,210 --> 00:19:44,450
to your episode on the tap room podcast.

590
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:47,210
Literally just discovered the Trader Joe's singles trick.

591
00:19:47,210 --> 00:19:50,819
Two weeks ago when we visited Portland and someone we knew told us, I was like,

592
00:19:50,819 --> 00:19:51,170
nah,

593
00:19:51,170 --> 00:19:52,170
no way.

594
00:19:52,170 --> 00:19:55,970
So we all went to TJ's and sure enough, all these six packs had missing cans.

595
00:19:55,970 --> 00:19:58,450
We broke off a few and took them to check out.

596
00:19:58,450 --> 00:20:01,930
This is valuable info that no one talks about.

597
00:20:01,930 --> 00:20:02,930
LOL.

598
00:20:02,930 --> 00:20:03,930
Yes.

599
00:20:03,930 --> 00:20:05,529
I said, this shit is important.

600
00:20:05,529 --> 00:20:06,529
It's important.

601
00:20:06,529 --> 00:20:07,529
Everybody.

602
00:20:07,529 --> 00:20:10,279
If you've got a Trader Joe's near you, you can crack open the four and six

603
00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:10,730
packs.

604
00:20:10,730 --> 00:20:12,730
Take one, take two, whatever you want.

605
00:20:12,730 --> 00:20:16,410
They're priced to be sold individually.

606
00:20:16,410 --> 00:20:22,170
I am mind blown because I must've zoned out when you talked about that.

607
00:20:22,170 --> 00:20:25,049
I didn't know that was a thing.

608
00:20:25,049 --> 00:20:26,490
We also brought it up on the show.

609
00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:28,410
We also don't Trader Joe's frequently.

610
00:20:28,410 --> 00:20:29,410
Yeah.

611
00:20:29,410 --> 00:20:32,849
I know that, uh, you know, in California, Trader Joe's is much more prevalent

612
00:20:32,849 --> 00:20:33,450
than other

613
00:20:33,450 --> 00:20:34,450
places.

614
00:20:34,450 --> 00:20:38,009
Um, it seems like we got two of them over here.

615
00:20:38,009 --> 00:20:39,009
Okay.

616
00:20:39,009 --> 00:20:40,009
Oh, okay.

617
00:20:40,009 --> 00:20:41,009
Yeah.

618
00:20:41,009 --> 00:20:42,579
By the way, I like there's some in Florida now cause the wife's sister lives

619
00:20:42,579 --> 00:20:43,170
out in Florida

620
00:20:43,170 --> 00:20:46,609
and all that kind of stuff, but crack them, crack them off.

621
00:20:46,609 --> 00:20:47,609
They're met.

622
00:20:47,609 --> 00:20:48,609
They're, they're priced individually.

623
00:20:48,609 --> 00:20:49,609
I do all the time.

624
00:20:49,609 --> 00:20:57,970
The beer I'm drinking tonight is Trader Joe's knocked off a couple singles.

625
00:20:57,970 --> 00:20:58,970
What you got?

626
00:20:58,970 --> 00:20:59,970
Should I talk about it?

627
00:20:59,970 --> 00:21:00,970
Let's just get into it.

628
00:21:00,970 --> 00:21:02,490
It's early, but fuck it.

629
00:21:02,490 --> 00:21:06,410
You look thirsty and I want you to get into this.

630
00:21:06,410 --> 00:21:07,410
You know what?

631
00:21:07,410 --> 00:21:18,690
I'm thirsty and I want to get into this calls to the bullpen for beer.

632
00:21:18,690 --> 00:21:21,130
Well, you said it at the top of the show.

633
00:21:21,130 --> 00:21:23,289
Once again, I don't know what flex is drinking.

634
00:21:23,289 --> 00:21:24,289
Flex never knows what I'm drinking.

635
00:21:24,289 --> 00:21:25,289
It's always a surprise.

636
00:21:25,289 --> 00:21:26,289
Big surprise.

637
00:21:26,289 --> 00:21:30,150
Rarely, rarely we will coordinate a beer if there's like some weird theme going

638
00:21:30,150 --> 00:21:30,529
on or

639
00:21:30,529 --> 00:21:33,230
something or a holiday or yeah, exactly.

640
00:21:33,230 --> 00:21:34,569
This is definitely not one of those times.

641
00:21:34,569 --> 00:21:39,940
Well, flex said something about Christmas beers, ho, ho, ho everybody, because

642
00:21:39,940 --> 00:21:40,210
I am

643
00:21:40,210 --> 00:21:46,529
drinking celebration, fresh hop, IPA from Sierra, Nevada, get it.

644
00:21:46,529 --> 00:21:51,369
And you cannot have the holidays if you've not had a celebration.

645
00:21:51,369 --> 00:21:55,269
I saw this at TJ's a week or two, a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about

646
00:21:55,269 --> 00:21:56,289
with Boris.

647
00:21:56,289 --> 00:21:58,730
How is like Boris and I's favorite Christmas beer.

648
00:21:58,730 --> 00:22:01,609
I was just going to say, we talked about that with Boris.

649
00:22:01,609 --> 00:22:02,609
100%.

650
00:22:02,609 --> 00:22:03,609
Yeah, exactly.

651
00:22:03,609 --> 00:22:04,869
Holiday season is here.

652
00:22:04,869 --> 00:22:06,809
When I saw it, I was like, Oh, this is earlier.

653
00:22:06,809 --> 00:22:10,930
Normally it's like end of November when I see them hitting the shelves and this

654
00:22:10,930 --> 00:22:11,289
felt

655
00:22:11,289 --> 00:22:12,289
a little early.

656
00:22:12,289 --> 00:22:13,289
So I grabbed it.

657
00:22:13,289 --> 00:22:16,809
Very excited to usher in the holiday season a little early.

658
00:22:16,809 --> 00:22:26,640
So Sierra, Nevada, fresh hop, IPA, the 2024 edition 6.6, excuse me, 6.8%, 65 IB

659
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:27,289
Us.

660
00:22:27,289 --> 00:22:30,490
They say freshly picked hops rushed from the farm to brewery.

661
00:22:30,490 --> 00:22:34,730
Still celebration, IPA with a powerful citrus and pine flavor.

662
00:22:34,730 --> 00:22:38,470
When you're on the slopes with your friend or building a backyard campfire for

663
00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:39,089
your fam,

664
00:22:39,089 --> 00:22:42,210
you need a beer as fresh as fallen snow.

665
00:22:42,210 --> 00:22:45,450
Pure hops balanced with rich caramel malt.

666
00:22:45,450 --> 00:22:49,329
Make this celebration in every sip.

667
00:22:49,329 --> 00:22:50,329
And I laugh so hard.

668
00:22:50,329 --> 00:22:56,180
We talk about ratings a lot the last couple of weeks, 373, oh man, sorry, no

669
00:22:56,180 --> 00:22:56,970
shit.

670
00:22:56,970 --> 00:22:57,970
I was going to say 374.

671
00:22:57,970 --> 00:22:58,970
Were you?

672
00:22:58,970 --> 00:22:59,970
Okay.

673
00:22:59,970 --> 00:23:00,970
Okay.

674
00:23:00,970 --> 00:23:07,250
373 out of 430,000 reviews.

675
00:23:07,250 --> 00:23:11,789
Now I don't know if this is every year's combined or 430,000 people have

676
00:23:11,789 --> 00:23:12,930
already had it this

677
00:23:12,930 --> 00:23:13,930
year.

678
00:23:13,930 --> 00:23:14,930
No, it's got to be.

679
00:23:14,930 --> 00:23:15,930
It doesn't say.

680
00:23:15,930 --> 00:23:16,930
Everything combined.

681
00:23:16,930 --> 00:23:17,930
Yeah.

682
00:23:17,930 --> 00:23:20,849
This is, I mean, this is truly like the beer nerd slash like brewers beer.

683
00:23:20,849 --> 00:23:23,329
It's not for your casual beer fan.

684
00:23:23,329 --> 00:23:25,490
It's not for your Hayes bro.

685
00:23:25,490 --> 00:23:26,849
This is old school.

686
00:23:26,849 --> 00:23:30,779
This is the loaf of bread that I generally don't like in a beer, but Sierra

687
00:23:30,779 --> 00:23:31,690
Nevada figures

688
00:23:31,690 --> 00:23:36,769
out kind of how to balance it and make it not as thick on the old schnauz.

689
00:23:36,769 --> 00:23:39,170
I mean, it smells like a hoppy loaf of bread.

690
00:23:39,170 --> 00:23:41,210
It's super piney.

691
00:23:41,210 --> 00:23:42,210
It's multi.

692
00:23:42,210 --> 00:23:43,930
I mean, you can see the, look at this color.

693
00:23:43,930 --> 00:23:44,930
This is fucking caramel.

694
00:23:44,930 --> 00:23:45,930
It is malt.

695
00:23:45,930 --> 00:23:46,930
Yeah.

696
00:23:46,930 --> 00:23:54,410
This is, this is caramel malt to the extreme tongue jabber time.

697
00:23:54,410 --> 00:23:59,769
This I will say feels, and obviously it's been a year since I've had one a

698
00:23:59,769 --> 00:24:00,289
little less

699
00:24:00,289 --> 00:24:02,009
bitter than previous years.

700
00:24:02,009 --> 00:24:05,609
Look, still dank, still old school, still bitter.

701
00:24:05,609 --> 00:24:09,250
But in previous years, I feel like it's fucking bitter.

702
00:24:09,250 --> 00:24:12,009
This one a little, maybe slightly more balanced.

703
00:24:12,009 --> 00:24:15,170
Definitely get the pine, definitely get the citrus.

704
00:24:15,170 --> 00:24:21,200
It's always all old school hops, a multi cereal from the, the backbone and from

705
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,289
the back from

706
00:24:22,289 --> 00:24:23,289
the malts.

707
00:24:23,289 --> 00:24:27,569
So, you know, it's just that old school IPA with fresh hops.

708
00:24:27,569 --> 00:24:30,480
If you don't like an old school West coast IPA, you're going to fucking hate

709
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:31,410
this guaranteed.

710
00:24:31,410 --> 00:24:32,410
Yeah.

711
00:24:32,410 --> 00:24:38,809
Not for, not like you said, not for your casual drinker, not for the casual Hay

712
00:24:38,809 --> 00:24:39,130
es bro.

713
00:24:39,130 --> 00:24:40,130
Or anybody like that.

714
00:24:40,130 --> 00:24:45,369
You're a, you're pounding some, uh, what do we say from Drecker earlier?

715
00:24:45,369 --> 00:24:46,369
Chunks.

716
00:24:46,369 --> 00:24:47,369
Chunks.

717
00:24:47,369 --> 00:24:48,369
Yeah.

718
00:24:48,369 --> 00:24:49,369
Yeah.

719
00:24:49,369 --> 00:24:51,730
Chunks in front from Drecker.

720
00:24:51,730 --> 00:24:53,609
This is not going to be your jam.

721
00:24:53,609 --> 00:24:57,329
You like some teeth shattering bitterness.

722
00:24:57,329 --> 00:24:58,329
Here it is, everybody.

723
00:24:58,329 --> 00:24:59,569
It's fresh.

724
00:24:59,569 --> 00:25:00,630
It's citrusy.

725
00:25:00,630 --> 00:25:05,569
It's piney and it's a liquid meal in a glass.

726
00:25:05,569 --> 00:25:08,490
Normally not my jam, but when Sierra Nevada drops this, I got to get it.

727
00:25:08,490 --> 00:25:11,049
Well, at least you don't have to eat dinner now.

728
00:25:11,049 --> 00:25:12,049
Yeah.

729
00:25:12,049 --> 00:25:15,049
I'll, uh, I'll save the cows for my beer.

730
00:25:15,049 --> 00:25:18,529
Um, all right, the one thing I was going to mention and flex kind of

731
00:25:18,529 --> 00:25:19,849
accidentally alluded

732
00:25:19,849 --> 00:25:20,849
to it.

733
00:25:20,849 --> 00:25:21,849
Damn it.

734
00:25:21,849 --> 00:25:22,849
I I'm classy as fuck.

735
00:25:22,849 --> 00:25:27,859
As we've talked about many times, I feel like people just know this by now they

736
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:28,730
got, I mean,

737
00:25:28,730 --> 00:25:34,609
I have multiple, somebody walks up to you and be like, Hey, do you have a wine

738
00:25:34,609 --> 00:25:35,650
membership?

739
00:25:35,650 --> 00:25:41,369
And you're like one, yeah, uh, one membership.

740
00:25:41,369 --> 00:25:45,289
I don't, I'm offended.

741
00:25:45,289 --> 00:25:46,289
I don't know.

742
00:25:46,289 --> 00:25:52,369
In fact, at that point, Wayne's world, that one, uh, what do you mean?

743
00:25:52,369 --> 00:25:53,369
Classy as fuck.

744
00:25:53,369 --> 00:25:54,369
Multiple ships.

745
00:25:54,369 --> 00:25:59,829
In fact, when they accused me of having a membership, I pull a glove out of my

746
00:25:59,829 --> 00:26:00,450
pocket

747
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:06,849
and slap it with them and tell them, Oh man, that's how classy I am.

748
00:26:06,849 --> 00:26:09,289
You are topped here.

749
00:26:09,289 --> 00:26:11,470
We had a pickup party for one of our members.

750
00:26:11,470 --> 00:26:14,029
You have servants last week.

751
00:26:14,029 --> 00:26:17,049
No, that's, that's the next tier.

752
00:26:17,049 --> 00:26:18,049
I'm sorry.

753
00:26:18,049 --> 00:26:19,289
Get a Butler.

754
00:26:19,289 --> 00:26:20,289
Yeah.

755
00:26:20,289 --> 00:26:21,289
Get a Butler.

756
00:26:21,289 --> 00:26:23,490
I think that's once I hit 10 memberships.

757
00:26:23,490 --> 00:26:24,490
Okay.

758
00:26:24,490 --> 00:26:26,289
I'm getting my tears mixed up.

759
00:26:26,289 --> 00:26:27,289
That's all it is.

760
00:26:27,289 --> 00:26:28,289
I'm sorry.

761
00:26:28,289 --> 00:26:29,289
That's my fault.

762
00:26:29,289 --> 00:26:30,289
Yeah.

763
00:26:30,289 --> 00:26:31,289
That's my unclassy fault.

764
00:26:31,289 --> 00:26:32,289
Yeah.

765
00:26:32,289 --> 00:26:33,289
Here's what I'll say.

766
00:26:33,289 --> 00:26:35,289
One of the nice things about most wine membership is they have pickup parties.

767
00:26:35,289 --> 00:26:36,289
Some are great.

768
00:26:36,289 --> 00:26:37,289
Some are not so great.

769
00:26:37,289 --> 00:26:38,569
I had a great one last week.

770
00:26:38,569 --> 00:26:41,410
Went to one of our, they, they did it at one of our favorite local restaurants.

771
00:26:41,410 --> 00:26:43,849
Is that like a car key party?

772
00:26:43,849 --> 00:26:44,849
I don't know.

773
00:26:44,849 --> 00:26:45,849
It's a car key party.

774
00:26:45,849 --> 00:26:47,049
Everybody puts their keys in a bowl.

775
00:26:47,049 --> 00:26:48,049
Yeah.

776
00:26:48,049 --> 00:26:51,819
It was a swinger party.

777
00:26:51,819 --> 00:26:52,819
I wish.

778
00:26:52,819 --> 00:26:54,420
Oh, actually, no, I don't.

779
00:26:54,420 --> 00:26:56,099
It was mostly old white people.

780
00:26:56,099 --> 00:26:57,099
Yeah.

781
00:26:57,099 --> 00:26:58,099
Probably not.

782
00:26:58,099 --> 00:26:59,099
Yeah.

783
00:26:59,099 --> 00:27:03,839
Probably no chicks under the age of 40.

784
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:07,500
So no, not, I mean, look, I mean, chicks around 40 are just fine.

785
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:08,500
I'm, I'm married.

786
00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:09,500
You're married to one.

787
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:10,500
Right.

788
00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:11,500
Yeah.

789
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:13,819
But, uh, you know, when they're in their sixties, uh, not so much anyways, and

790
00:27:13,819 --> 00:27:14,519
one of our local

791
00:27:14,519 --> 00:27:16,700
favorite restaurants called cork dork.

792
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:18,859
It's a horrible name for a restaurant.

793
00:27:18,859 --> 00:27:19,859
Amazing food.

794
00:27:19,859 --> 00:27:20,859
Sounds classy.

795
00:27:20,859 --> 00:27:21,859
Yeah.

796
00:27:21,859 --> 00:27:24,259
They rented out the place and had like small bites and all, all the wine I

797
00:27:24,259 --> 00:27:24,859
could fucking

798
00:27:24,859 --> 00:27:25,859
put down.

799
00:27:25,859 --> 00:27:28,420
Cause we've kind of made friends with the winemakers and it's just, it was a

800
00:27:28,420 --> 00:27:28,980
good time, man.

801
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:33,059
I just felt classy, ate some good food, drink some good wine.

802
00:27:33,059 --> 00:27:35,569
I just wanted to bring it out because I knew flex would laugh at me cause I'm

803
00:27:35,569 --> 00:27:35,980
so fucking

804
00:27:35,980 --> 00:27:36,980
classy with my wine.

805
00:27:36,980 --> 00:27:42,339
I just like how you, how you speak of it.

806
00:27:42,339 --> 00:27:49,680
It's like, uh, it's a different tone, you know, like I have another one coming

807
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:49,980
up next

808
00:27:49,980 --> 00:27:50,980
week.

809
00:27:50,980 --> 00:27:51,980
Your upper echelon.

810
00:27:51,980 --> 00:27:58,619
You know, it's like, it's like, I just sit back and listen, listen to your, uh,

811
00:27:58,619 --> 00:27:58,960
my classy

812
00:27:58,960 --> 00:27:59,960
ness.

813
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:00,960
Your classiness.

814
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,960
Yeah.

815
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,269
I totally forgot until just this second as we're talking about the story next

816
00:28:04,269 --> 00:28:04,740
weekend,

817
00:28:04,740 --> 00:28:06,819
we have another one pickup party coming up.

818
00:28:06,819 --> 00:28:08,660
This one's one of my favorites.

819
00:28:08,660 --> 00:28:11,960
The owner of the winery, they don't do the pickup party like at the winery, at

820
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:12,619
the tasting

821
00:28:12,619 --> 00:28:13,619
room.

822
00:28:13,619 --> 00:28:14,619
They do it at her house.

823
00:28:14,619 --> 00:28:15,619
Oh man.

824
00:28:15,619 --> 00:28:18,700
She lives, she lives in Malibu overlooking the ocean.

825
00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:19,700
Rough life.

826
00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:20,700
Not a bad view.

827
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:21,700
Yeah.

828
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:22,700
What's that?

829
00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:23,700
I said rough life.

830
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:24,700
Yeah.

831
00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:25,700
Yeah.

832
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:26,700
Super rough.

833
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:27,700
Overlooking the ocean.

834
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:28,700
So it's, once again, she pours for days.

835
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:29,700
She's as good as you want.

836
00:28:29,700 --> 00:28:30,700
She loves to have fun.

837
00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:31,700
Loves to party.

838
00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:37,660
Loves to open wine for people and always has, here we go flex a taco person.

839
00:28:37,660 --> 00:28:40,539
Oh, there it is.

840
00:28:40,539 --> 00:28:41,539
Yeah.

841
00:28:41,539 --> 00:28:42,539
She's got her taco person.

842
00:28:42,539 --> 00:28:46,259
Because everyone in California has a taco guy.

843
00:28:46,259 --> 00:28:47,259
Yeah.

844
00:28:47,259 --> 00:28:48,259
She's got hers.

845
00:28:48,259 --> 00:28:49,259
Who is not the same one I use.

846
00:28:49,259 --> 00:28:50,259
Everyone's got their own.

847
00:28:50,259 --> 00:28:53,339
Hers is really good, but really expensive.

848
00:28:53,339 --> 00:28:57,779
They also do fresh churros at the end of the day.

849
00:28:57,779 --> 00:29:01,309
I'm talking heating up oil, dropping them in the fucking grease and then

850
00:29:01,309 --> 00:29:02,019
rolling them

851
00:29:02,019 --> 00:29:04,019
in cinnamon and sugar.

852
00:29:04,019 --> 00:29:05,019
It is amazing.

853
00:29:05,019 --> 00:29:06,019
It don't get better than that.

854
00:29:06,019 --> 00:29:07,019
No.

855
00:29:07,019 --> 00:29:09,970
So you get fresh tacos and then after you get a little drunk, you get fresh ch

856
00:29:09,970 --> 00:29:10,539
urros.

857
00:29:10,539 --> 00:29:11,539
Oh man.

858
00:29:11,539 --> 00:29:12,539
I'm jealous.

859
00:29:12,539 --> 00:29:14,099
So I am very much looking forward to that one too.

860
00:29:14,099 --> 00:29:15,099
I totally forgot that.

861
00:29:15,099 --> 00:29:16,779
How do I get classy?

862
00:29:16,779 --> 00:29:17,980
Dude, come on out.

863
00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:20,220
I'll take you to all our classy shit.

864
00:29:20,220 --> 00:29:21,980
I don't think I'm allowed.

865
00:29:21,980 --> 00:29:26,019
I'm not allowed.

866
00:29:26,019 --> 00:29:30,880
We won't tell them you're Midwest and we'll just say, hey, look, he's from

867
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:31,819
around here.

868
00:29:31,819 --> 00:29:36,059
He calls it Modelo, not Modelo.

869
00:29:36,059 --> 00:29:37,980
I just said that to somebody the other day.

870
00:29:37,980 --> 00:29:38,980
How do I say it?

871
00:29:38,980 --> 00:29:42,019
I just say Modelo.

872
00:29:42,019 --> 00:29:43,019
That's how I say it.

873
00:29:43,019 --> 00:29:44,019
Like Modelo.

874
00:29:44,019 --> 00:29:45,019
Modelo.

875
00:29:45,019 --> 00:29:46,380
That's what I say.

876
00:29:46,380 --> 00:29:47,380
Yeah.

877
00:29:47,380 --> 00:29:53,059
So you try to be good, but you go past being good into like comically good.

878
00:29:53,059 --> 00:29:54,059
Modelo.

879
00:29:54,059 --> 00:29:55,059
Modelo.

880
00:29:55,059 --> 00:29:56,059
Modelo.

881
00:29:56,059 --> 00:29:57,059
Yeah.

882
00:29:57,059 --> 00:29:58,059
Yeah.

883
00:29:58,059 --> 00:29:59,059
It's, uh, it's the Midwest in me.

884
00:29:59,059 --> 00:30:00,059
Yeah.

885
00:30:00,059 --> 00:30:01,059
Yeah.

886
00:30:01,059 --> 00:30:02,059
I believe you could class it up.

887
00:30:02,059 --> 00:30:03,059
I believe in you.

888
00:30:03,059 --> 00:30:04,059
Come on out.

889
00:30:04,059 --> 00:30:05,059
Go to a wine pick up party with us.

890
00:30:05,059 --> 00:30:06,059
Have some tacos and churros.

891
00:30:06,059 --> 00:30:09,190
I could probably look classy, but the second I opened my mouth, they're going

892
00:30:09,190 --> 00:30:09,940
to know.

893
00:30:09,940 --> 00:30:10,940
Hey hoser.

894
00:30:10,940 --> 00:30:11,940
Yeah.

895
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:12,940
You're going to get that.

896
00:30:12,940 --> 00:30:13,940
That's more Canadian.

897
00:30:13,940 --> 00:30:17,380
You're going to get the stink eye.

898
00:30:17,380 --> 00:30:18,380
Who brought this guy?

899
00:30:18,380 --> 00:30:19,380
Brought this guy?

900
00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:22,259
If he was on Beer Advocate, he'd be a 68.

901
00:30:22,259 --> 00:30:30,940
He's an F. He's a two and a half on untapped tops.

902
00:30:30,940 --> 00:30:31,940
Longer.

903
00:30:31,940 --> 00:30:33,500
Never heard of her.

904
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:36,500
If they start to turn on you, just, you know, take your shirt off.

905
00:30:36,500 --> 00:30:37,500
Yeah.

906
00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:38,500
I can do that.

907
00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:39,500
I know how to do that.

908
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:40,500
Yeah.

909
00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:41,500
Yeah.

910
00:30:41,500 --> 00:30:42,500
Okay.

911
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:43,500
Yeah.

912
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:44,500
It'll distract them.

913
00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:45,500
No problem.

914
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:46,500
They got buff guys in Malibu though.

915
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:47,500
Yeah, but they don't got flex buff guys.

916
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:48,500
Yeah.

917
00:30:48,500 --> 00:30:49,500
Okay.

918
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:50,500
I'll take that.

919
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:51,500
Yeah.

920
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:52,500
I don't got a tight whiteys.

921
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:53,500
I got blueys.

922
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:54,500
Tidy blackies.

923
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:55,500
There you go.

924
00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:56,500
Makes it look bigger.

925
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:57,500
Anyways.

926
00:30:57,500 --> 00:30:58,500
We should do news before we really dig a hole.

927
00:30:58,500 --> 00:30:59,500
Not a tidy blackie show.

928
00:30:59,500 --> 00:30:56,250
Nope.

929
00:30:56,250 --> 00:30:57,250
Not yet at least.

930
00:30:57,250 --> 00:30:58,250
I'm going to go with the tighties.

931
00:30:58,250 --> 00:30:59,250
I'm going to go with the tighties.

932
00:30:59,250 --> 00:31:00,250
I'm going to go with the tighties.

933
00:31:00,250 --> 00:31:01,250
I'm going to go with the tighties.

934
00:31:01,250 --> 00:31:02,250
I'm going to go with the tighties.

935
00:31:02,250 --> 00:31:03,250
I'm going to go with the tighties.

936
00:31:03,250 --> 00:31:04,250
I'm going to go with the tighties.

937
00:31:04,250 --> 00:31:00,500
I'm going to go with the tighties.

938
00:31:00,500 --> 00:31:01,500
I'm going to go with the tighties.

939
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:02,500
I'm going to go with the tighties.

940
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:03,500
I'm going to go with the tighties.

941
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:04,500
I'm going to go with the tighties.

942
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:25,500
I'm going to go with the tighties.

943
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:50,380
I'm going to go with the tighties.

944
00:31:50,380 --> 00:32:15,819
I'm going to go with the tighties.

945
00:32:15,819 --> 00:32:42,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

946
00:32:42,299 --> 00:32:43,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

947
00:32:43,299 --> 00:32:44,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

948
00:32:44,299 --> 00:32:45,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

949
00:32:45,299 --> 00:32:46,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

950
00:32:46,299 --> 00:32:47,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

951
00:32:47,299 --> 00:32:48,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

952
00:32:48,299 --> 00:32:49,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

953
00:32:49,299 --> 00:32:50,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

954
00:32:50,299 --> 00:32:51,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

955
00:32:51,299 --> 00:32:52,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

956
00:32:52,299 --> 00:32:53,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

957
00:32:53,299 --> 00:32:54,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

958
00:32:54,299 --> 00:32:55,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

959
00:32:55,299 --> 00:32:56,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

960
00:32:56,299 --> 00:32:57,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

961
00:32:57,299 --> 00:32:58,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

962
00:32:58,299 --> 00:32:59,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

963
00:32:59,299 --> 00:33:00,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

964
00:33:00,299 --> 00:33:01,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

965
00:33:01,299 --> 00:33:02,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

966
00:33:02,299 --> 00:33:03,299
I'm going to go with the tighties.

967
00:33:03,299 --> 00:33:24,779
I'm going to go with the tighties.

968
00:33:24,779 --> 00:33:27,650
Including the sale of the brewery, its taproom, and intellectual property, the

969
00:33:27,650 --> 00:33:28,180
brewery did

970
00:33:28,180 --> 00:33:31,579
not name the expected buyer, which is weird.

971
00:33:31,579 --> 00:33:39,930
Founder and CEO, Henry Schwartz, said in an announcement, "We've poured our

972
00:33:39,930 --> 00:33:41,779
heart and

973
00:33:41,779 --> 00:33:46,109
souls into the brewery and our community, but reached a point where we could no

974
00:33:46,109 --> 00:33:46,579
longer

975
00:33:46,579 --> 00:33:49,259
operate as a standalone organization.

976
00:33:49,259 --> 00:33:52,599
When the opportunity came up to sell the brewery, we decided to consider it to

977
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:53,299
keep our brand

978
00:33:53,299 --> 00:33:57,740
around at wholesale and keep as many of our staff members as possible employed

979
00:33:57,740 --> 00:33:58,179
in our

980
00:33:58,179 --> 00:33:59,179
taprooms.

981
00:33:59,179 --> 00:34:02,280
We're in the midst of working on the deal now and there will be changes, but

982
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:02,699
they're

983
00:34:02,699 --> 00:34:04,340
not fully known yet.

984
00:34:04,340 --> 00:34:08,320
The mob craft you know and love today won't exist in its entirety after this

985
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,019
process,

986
00:34:09,019 --> 00:34:10,539
but some aspects will.

987
00:34:10,539 --> 00:34:14,719
And between now and our last day of official mob craft operations, we aim to

988
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:15,380
celebrate

989
00:34:15,380 --> 00:34:19,260
our existence and we've all achieved over a few pints."

990
00:34:19,260 --> 00:34:22,059
Is this the brewery that you designed a beer for?

991
00:34:22,059 --> 00:34:26,219
Well, yeah, I mean, I just had an idea and they voted on it.

992
00:34:26,219 --> 00:34:27,219
Right, right, right.

993
00:34:27,219 --> 00:34:30,280
You're paying us all five bucks to vote on it every day.

994
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,280
That's what I did.

995
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,280
Yes.

996
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:33,280
Yeah.

997
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,280
Yes.

998
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,280
I'm broke now.

999
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,420
Still recouping like six years later.

1000
00:34:38,420 --> 00:34:44,340
Mob craft, they're like a scale of one to 10.

1001
00:34:44,340 --> 00:34:45,340
They're like a five.

1002
00:34:45,340 --> 00:34:46,340
Oh, okay.

1003
00:34:46,340 --> 00:34:48,619
Like they're a pretty average brewery.

1004
00:34:48,619 --> 00:34:50,340
Two and a half on untapped, got it.

1005
00:34:50,340 --> 00:34:52,320
Really fun spot.

1006
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:59,090
They had some decent food, good pizzas that they did out of the kitchen, but

1007
00:34:59,090 --> 00:34:59,900
the beer

1008
00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:02,619
wasn't great.

1009
00:35:02,619 --> 00:35:03,619
It was fun.

1010
00:35:03,619 --> 00:35:07,900
Some of the stuff they did was the ideas were fun, but not great stuff.

1011
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:10,699
They could never brew an IPA to save their life.

1012
00:35:10,699 --> 00:35:11,699
Oh really?

1013
00:35:11,699 --> 00:35:12,699
That's the easiest.

1014
00:35:12,699 --> 00:35:15,900
Which, yeah, I mean, it's shocking.

1015
00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:16,900
They were...

1016
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:18,559
You just fuck up a beer and add a bunch of hops.

1017
00:35:18,559 --> 00:35:26,590
They were big on sour ales, like footer aged sour ales and some decent barrel

1018
00:35:26,590 --> 00:35:28,079
aged stuff,

1019
00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:32,219
but otherwise nothing mind blowing.

1020
00:35:32,219 --> 00:35:39,300
I think the big thing for them that they failed on was trying to expand.

1021
00:35:39,300 --> 00:35:41,219
They had a tap room in Denver.

1022
00:35:41,219 --> 00:35:43,739
I don't think it lasted six months.

1023
00:35:43,739 --> 00:35:45,239
Oh, geez.

1024
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:53,280
They have one currently in Woodstock, Illinois, and they tried to get one in a

1025
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,139
town that's

1026
00:35:54,139 --> 00:36:02,889
like 15 miles southwest of where I live, and they bought this, I think it was

1027
00:36:02,889 --> 00:36:03,980
an old fire

1028
00:36:03,980 --> 00:36:10,420
station or police station, and they were supposed to revamp it out and make it

1029
00:36:10,420 --> 00:36:11,780
a whole brewing

1030
00:36:11,780 --> 00:36:18,070
and tap room, and I think that completely fell under, so I think it was just

1031
00:36:18,070 --> 00:36:18,699
bad usage

1032
00:36:18,699 --> 00:36:21,659
of money, capital.

1033
00:36:21,659 --> 00:36:25,239
Everything went under, and they just couldn't get out of it.

1034
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,239
That's too bad.

1035
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,559
I mean, we talked about it before.

1036
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:30,929
Oh, before I get too far away, you said something, and I didn't want to cut you

1037
00:36:30,929 --> 00:36:31,780
off, but...

1038
00:36:31,780 --> 00:36:33,659
It's a forager.

1039
00:36:33,659 --> 00:36:34,659
Nailed it.

1040
00:36:34,659 --> 00:36:35,659
All that for that.

1041
00:36:35,659 --> 00:36:36,659
Thanks.

1042
00:36:36,659 --> 00:36:37,659
It was worth it.

1043
00:36:37,659 --> 00:36:38,659
That was worth it.

1044
00:36:38,659 --> 00:36:39,659
Yeah.

1045
00:36:39,659 --> 00:36:40,659
Totally worth it.

1046
00:36:40,659 --> 00:36:42,969
I mean, we've talked about this in the past, it seems like there's a bit of a

1047
00:36:42,969 --> 00:36:43,500
reckoning

1048
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:44,500
going on.

1049
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:48,150
Like, if you're not making great beer, you're not staying open, and we've hit

1050
00:36:48,150 --> 00:36:49,059
that saturation

1051
00:36:49,059 --> 00:36:50,059
point in craft beer.

1052
00:36:50,059 --> 00:36:51,059
Yep.

1053
00:36:51,059 --> 00:36:55,260
I can't stress that enough, that if you're not making good product, people are

1054
00:36:55,260 --> 00:36:55,659
going

1055
00:36:55,659 --> 00:36:59,820
to find who's making it and stick with them.

1056
00:36:59,820 --> 00:37:00,820
Yeah.

1057
00:37:00,820 --> 00:37:06,480
It was a topic of conversation amongst the local beer crew here, is that the

1058
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:07,219
Mobcraft

1059
00:37:07,219 --> 00:37:14,480
news came up, I was one of the forefront that said, "Hey, look, they don't do

1060
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,460
great beer."

1061
00:37:15,460 --> 00:37:20,980
Is it a fun spot to hit up every now and then, great location, 100%, but if

1062
00:37:20,980 --> 00:37:21,960
they don't put

1063
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:30,179
out great product on a consistent basis, I'm not going to waste my money.

1064
00:37:30,179 --> 00:37:31,179
It's just what it is.

1065
00:37:31,179 --> 00:37:32,179
Yeah.

1066
00:37:32,179 --> 00:37:35,389
I mean, there's great breweries that aren't staying open, so why should your

1067
00:37:35,389 --> 00:37:35,880
mediocre

1068
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:36,880
breweries stay open?

1069
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,559
You got to keep it up.

1070
00:37:38,559 --> 00:37:39,679
Right.

1071
00:37:39,679 --> 00:37:40,679
It's sad, but it's...

1072
00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:41,679
Yeah.

1073
00:37:41,679 --> 00:37:44,840
And you never want people to lose jobs and that kind of thing.

1074
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:45,840
Ever.

1075
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:46,840
Hopefully.

1076
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:47,840
Never, ever.

1077
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,019
Hopefully whoever can buy them turns things around, makes it a little better,

1078
00:37:49,019 --> 00:37:49,239
that kind

1079
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:50,639
of thing.

1080
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:54,119
Even more fun if they keep the whole boating aspect.

1081
00:37:54,119 --> 00:37:57,599
Yeah, the crowdsource concept, which was a lot of fun.

1082
00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:01,380
It's a fun concept, still.

1083
00:38:01,380 --> 00:38:06,889
Anheuser-Busch, speaking of closing, is shuttering the Wicked Weed Functorium,

1084
00:38:06,889 --> 00:38:07,699
and that's in

1085
00:38:07,699 --> 00:38:08,699
Nashville.

1086
00:38:08,699 --> 00:38:12,980
The functorium has been closed since September 27th in the wake of Hurricane

1087
00:38:12,980 --> 00:38:13,699
Helene and a

1088
00:38:13,699 --> 00:38:16,019
water outage in the city.

1089
00:38:16,019 --> 00:38:17,019
Wicked Weed, Cobb and O'Reilly.

1090
00:38:17,019 --> 00:38:18,019
Oh, water outage.

1091
00:38:18,019 --> 00:38:19,019
Yeah.

1092
00:38:19,019 --> 00:38:22,809
Ever since the hurricane, they've just not had water, or I mean, by now, maybe

1093
00:38:22,809 --> 00:38:23,460
some people

1094
00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:28,340
have water, but I've heard it's taking a super long time to get water going.

1095
00:38:28,340 --> 00:38:29,340
Interesting.

1096
00:38:29,340 --> 00:38:30,340
Scary.

1097
00:38:30,340 --> 00:38:31,340
In the surrounding area.

1098
00:38:31,340 --> 00:38:33,780
I mean, talk about just basic shit.

1099
00:38:33,780 --> 00:38:39,199
I know someone who lives outside of Asheville who did not lose their house, but

1100
00:38:39,199 --> 00:38:39,960
was affected

1101
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:47,019
by the water outage and stuff, and they're having to go fill jugs with non-pot

1102
00:38:47,019 --> 00:38:48,099
able water

1103
00:38:48,099 --> 00:38:50,099
just so they can flush their toilet.

1104
00:38:50,099 --> 00:38:51,099
Wow.

1105
00:38:51,099 --> 00:38:52,099
Yeah.

1106
00:38:52,099 --> 00:38:57,380
So you get these gallon jugs, fill up the top tank, do your business, and then

1107
00:38:57,380 --> 00:38:57,900
you can

1108
00:38:57,900 --> 00:39:00,019
flush it because you filled up the top tank.

1109
00:39:00,019 --> 00:39:01,019
That's horrible.

1110
00:39:01,019 --> 00:39:02,019
Yeah.

1111
00:39:02,019 --> 00:39:03,019
Yeah.

1112
00:39:03,019 --> 00:39:08,230
And then having to take baths in the non-potable water and cold baths and stuff

1113
00:39:08,579 --> 00:39:12,989
So I mean, it's basic human shit that no one really thinks is a big deal until

1114
00:39:12,989 --> 00:39:13,820
it's gone.

1115
00:39:13,820 --> 00:39:20,050
Even in my hood where the fires were, certain areas were not even under a boil

1116
00:39:20,050 --> 00:39:21,139
advisory.

1117
00:39:21,139 --> 00:39:23,500
They're under a don't fucking use the water advisory.

1118
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:24,500
Man.

1119
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:25,500
Which is crazy.

1120
00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:26,500
Yeah.

1121
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:27,500
That is crazy.

1122
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:28,500
What is this?

1123
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:29,500
Pioneer times?

1124
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:30,500
I know.

1125
00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:31,500
I know.

1126
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:32,500
I know.

1127
00:39:32,500 --> 00:39:33,500
I know.

1128
00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:34,500
I know.

1129
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:35,500
Welcome everybody.

1130
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:36,500
Lewis and Clark trying to find the Pacific.

1131
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:37,500
Right.

1132
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:38,500
Man, this is... where are we?

1133
00:39:38,500 --> 00:39:39,500
Bam.

1134
00:39:39,500 --> 00:39:45,449
Wicked Weed co-founder Ryan Guthe laid off the majority of its service industry

1135
00:39:45,449 --> 00:39:46,340
employees

1136
00:39:46,340 --> 00:39:50,260
during November 1st staff meeting as per Citizen Times.

1137
00:39:50,260 --> 00:39:53,659
That amounted to about 40 employees according to the outlet.

1138
00:39:53,659 --> 00:39:58,449
An AB spokesperson told Brewbound that following the impact of the hurricane, K

1139
00:39:58,449 --> 00:39:59,940
ultura and Funkatorium

1140
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:01,340
remain closed at this time.

1141
00:40:01,340 --> 00:40:05,250
We'll keep you posted with updates and reopening plans for both locations as

1142
00:40:05,250 --> 00:40:06,219
Asheville returns

1143
00:40:06,219 --> 00:40:07,820
to normal normalcy.

1144
00:40:07,820 --> 00:40:11,500
The closings are not intended to be permanent, the spokesperson said.

1145
00:40:11,500 --> 00:40:14,460
So fingers crossed, we'll see.

1146
00:40:14,460 --> 00:40:17,780
So it's a temporary lay?

1147
00:40:17,780 --> 00:40:21,579
It just says indefinite because they have no clue.

1148
00:40:21,579 --> 00:40:26,179
Other Brewers Association has added a new beer style to their guidelines.

1149
00:40:26,179 --> 00:40:27,179
Intriguing.

1150
00:40:27,179 --> 00:40:28,179
Uh-huh.

1151
00:40:28,179 --> 00:40:29,179
Uh-huh.

1152
00:40:29,179 --> 00:40:30,179
Have you already peeked ahead?

1153
00:40:30,179 --> 00:40:31,179
Oh, I don't peek ahead.

1154
00:40:31,179 --> 00:40:32,179
I didn't think so.

1155
00:40:32,179 --> 00:40:33,179
No.

1156
00:40:33,179 --> 00:40:36,179
It's just intriguing what a new beer style would be.

1157
00:40:36,179 --> 00:40:41,969
Well, I've seen this popping up more and more, at least out here, this style,

1158
00:40:41,969 --> 00:40:42,380
so it doesn't

1159
00:40:42,380 --> 00:40:43,380
surprise me.

1160
00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:45,940
Are you going to say West Coast Pilsner?

1161
00:40:45,940 --> 00:40:50,619
Close, but God damn do I love a West Coast Pilsner.

1162
00:40:50,619 --> 00:40:52,300
It's an Italian style Pilsner.

1163
00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:53,300
Okay.

1164
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:55,219
This is now part of the guidelines.

1165
00:40:55,219 --> 00:40:58,460
You can enter it as a category, all that stuff.

1166
00:40:58,460 --> 00:41:04,699
So is that a certain hops you need for an Italian Pilsner, certain malts?

1167
00:41:04,699 --> 00:41:07,900
What is the- Funny you should ask, what is the guidelines?

1168
00:41:07,900 --> 00:41:08,900
Yes, guidelines.

1169
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:10,579
That's the word I was looking for, guidelines.

1170
00:41:10,579 --> 00:41:11,579
Yeah.

1171
00:41:11,579 --> 00:41:16,809
Color, straw to gold, clarity, appearance should be clear, chill haze should

1172
00:41:16,809 --> 00:41:17,260
not be

1173
00:41:17,260 --> 00:41:23,289
present, perceived malt aroma and flavor, a malty sweet aroma and flavor should

1174
00:41:23,289 --> 00:41:23,539
be

1175
00:41:23,539 --> 00:41:29,420
present at low levels, light biscuity attributes may be present, perceived hop

1176
00:41:29,420 --> 00:41:30,860
aroma and flavor,

1177
00:41:30,860 --> 00:41:35,659
hop aroma and flavor is pronounced and aromatic, derived from late hopping and

1178
00:41:35,659 --> 00:41:36,440
dry hopping

1179
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:42,210
with noble type hops, floral, herbal, peppery, or other attributes may be

1180
00:41:42,210 --> 00:41:44,019
present, bitterness

1181
00:41:44,019 --> 00:41:50,550
medium to high, fermentation characteristics, fruity ester and DMS should not

1182
00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:51,739
be present.

1183
00:41:51,739 --> 00:41:55,179
These are well attenuated beers.

1184
00:41:55,179 --> 00:41:58,420
The body should be medium low to medium.

1185
00:41:58,420 --> 00:42:03,340
Additional notes, the head should be dense, pure white, and persistent.

1186
00:42:03,340 --> 00:42:07,460
Hop character is assertive, crisp, and aromatic.

1187
00:42:07,460 --> 00:42:10,300
They have gravity guidelines as well.

1188
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:15,739
Original gravity should be in the 1044 to 1052 range, where your final gravity

1189
00:42:15,739 --> 00:42:16,219
should

1190
00:42:16,219 --> 00:42:20,619
be around 1006 to 1013, 1013 feels high.

1191
00:42:20,619 --> 00:42:30,889
ABV should be 3.6 to 4.2, bitterness, IBUs should be 25 to 50, 50 feels high

1192
00:42:30,889 --> 00:42:31,860
for this

1193
00:42:31,860 --> 00:42:33,579
category, but okay.

1194
00:42:33,579 --> 00:42:37,010
And then for those real nerds out there, the SRM should be three to four, which

1195
00:42:37,010 --> 00:42:37,579
is a really

1196
00:42:37,579 --> 00:42:38,579
light beer.

1197
00:42:38,579 --> 00:42:39,579
Okay.

1198
00:42:39,579 --> 00:42:41,579
So noble hops are those like...

1199
00:42:41,579 --> 00:42:42,579
Like German hops.

1200
00:42:42,579 --> 00:42:43,579
German hops.

1201
00:42:43,579 --> 00:42:44,579
Okay.

1202
00:42:44,579 --> 00:42:45,579
That's what I was going to say.

1203
00:42:45,579 --> 00:42:46,579
Yeah.

1204
00:42:46,579 --> 00:42:49,260
Lighter, you know, not the Chinook, the Cascade, none of that shit.

1205
00:42:49,260 --> 00:42:50,260
Yeah.

1206
00:42:50,260 --> 00:42:51,260
Okay.

1207
00:42:51,260 --> 00:42:52,260
Lighter hops.

1208
00:42:52,260 --> 00:42:54,739
So Italian Pilsner brewed with German hops, right?

1209
00:42:54,739 --> 00:42:56,019
I mean, they don't have to be German, but...

1210
00:42:56,019 --> 00:42:57,019
I'm fucking with you.

1211
00:42:57,019 --> 00:42:58,019
Yeah.

1212
00:42:58,019 --> 00:42:59,019
Come on.

1213
00:42:59,019 --> 00:43:00,019
Want to end it on a list?

1214
00:43:00,019 --> 00:43:05,019
Yeah, because I fucking love lists.

1215
00:43:05,019 --> 00:43:07,260
I feel like it's been so long.

1216
00:43:07,260 --> 00:43:08,260
It's been a while.

1217
00:43:08,260 --> 00:43:09,260
I'm going to say weeks.

1218
00:43:09,260 --> 00:43:10,260
Easily.

1219
00:43:10,260 --> 00:43:11,260
Maybe months.

1220
00:43:11,260 --> 00:43:14,260
If not months, yeah.

1221
00:43:14,260 --> 00:43:20,300
How about the price of a beer at every NBA stadium slash arena?

1222
00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:23,659
I don't even know the name of most NBA arenas.

1223
00:43:23,659 --> 00:43:26,139
They don't actually tell you the name of the arena.

1224
00:43:26,139 --> 00:43:27,139
They just say the name of the team.

1225
00:43:27,139 --> 00:43:28,139
Oh.

1226
00:43:28,139 --> 00:43:29,139
You want to start at...

1227
00:43:29,139 --> 00:43:34,750
Just read what's in front of me.

1228
00:43:34,750 --> 00:43:38,070
I'm going to say a Lakers, number one.

1229
00:43:38,070 --> 00:43:39,070
All right.

1230
00:43:39,070 --> 00:43:42,190
So do you want to start at cheapest or most expensive?

1231
00:43:42,190 --> 00:43:45,949
Cheapest, because I like that.

1232
00:43:45,949 --> 00:43:47,309
All right.

1233
00:43:47,309 --> 00:43:48,309
Oklahoma City Thunder.

1234
00:43:48,309 --> 00:43:50,590
Man, I was going to say Utah.

1235
00:43:50,590 --> 00:43:51,590
Yeah.

1236
00:43:51,590 --> 00:43:52,590
Not at all.

1237
00:43:52,590 --> 00:43:54,230
Utah's pretty high up there.

1238
00:43:54,230 --> 00:43:55,230
Damn.

1239
00:43:55,230 --> 00:44:04,829
So number 30, the Thunder, Hawks, 756, Pacers, 810, Raptors, 917 a beer, Wiz

1240
00:44:04,829 --> 00:44:07,710
ards, 959, Grizzlies,

1241
00:44:07,710 --> 00:44:10,670
97, 76ers, 1056.

1242
00:44:10,670 --> 00:44:12,349
Now we're breaking those double digits.

1243
00:44:12,349 --> 00:44:20,829
The Pistons, 1129, the Spurs, 1185, Houston Rockets, 1189, the Magic, 1199, as

1244
00:44:20,829 --> 00:44:21,429
well as

1245
00:44:21,429 --> 00:44:30,800
the Timberwolves and the Cavaliers, Trailblazers, 1241, Charlotte Hornets, 1249

1246
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,070
, Miami Heat

1247
00:44:32,070 --> 00:44:37,389
at number 15, 1275, here we go, halfway.

1248
00:44:37,389 --> 00:44:40,389
Number 14, the Bucs of Milwaukee.

1249
00:44:40,389 --> 00:44:41,389
Yeah.

1250
00:44:41,389 --> 00:44:42,389
Shit's expensive.

1251
00:44:42,389 --> 00:44:43,389
$13 even.

1252
00:44:43,389 --> 00:44:44,389
Yeah.

1253
00:44:44,389 --> 00:44:45,389
For a beer.

1254
00:44:45,389 --> 00:44:48,309
I get about a beer every time I go to a game.

1255
00:44:48,309 --> 00:44:49,469
It's all you can afford.

1256
00:44:49,469 --> 00:44:50,469
Nailed it.

1257
00:44:50,469 --> 00:44:51,949
I made myself laugh.

1258
00:44:51,949 --> 00:44:56,989
I'm a cheapskate.

1259
00:44:56,989 --> 00:44:59,869
The Kings, Sacramento Kings, also at 13 bucks.

1260
00:44:59,869 --> 00:45:04,110
The Pelicans, 1343, the Mavs at 1355.

1261
00:45:04,110 --> 00:45:05,349
Here's the top 10.

1262
00:45:05,349 --> 00:45:06,349
Let's go.

1263
00:45:06,349 --> 00:45:08,230
Utah Jazz, 14 bucks.

1264
00:45:08,230 --> 00:45:09,230
Wow.

1265
00:45:09,230 --> 00:45:14,130
For a 3% beer, that's fucked up.

1266
00:45:14,130 --> 00:45:18,309
Number nine, Clippers, 1439, clipping the wallet.

1267
00:45:18,309 --> 00:45:22,900
Now I think this is before the Clippers moved because they're tied with the L

1268
00:45:22,900 --> 00:45:23,789
akers at also

1269
00:45:23,789 --> 00:45:24,789
1439.

1270
00:45:24,789 --> 00:45:25,789
Okay.

1271
00:45:25,789 --> 00:45:28,550
The Clippers have their own spot now on Arena as of this season.

1272
00:45:28,550 --> 00:45:30,590
Yeah, it's supposed to be really nice.

1273
00:45:30,590 --> 00:45:34,170
I know somebody who went and saw a concert there before the season started and

1274
00:45:34,170 --> 00:45:34,590
said it

1275
00:45:34,590 --> 00:45:36,030
was really nice.

1276
00:45:36,030 --> 00:45:37,030
Yeah.

1277
00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:40,590
I heard there, and there's enough bathrooms, man.

1278
00:45:40,590 --> 00:45:41,590
What was it?

1279
00:45:41,590 --> 00:45:42,590
What's that guy's name?

1280
00:45:42,590 --> 00:45:43,590
Steve...

1281
00:45:43,590 --> 00:45:44,590
Balmer.

1282
00:45:44,590 --> 00:45:45,590
Balmer.

1283
00:45:45,590 --> 00:45:48,670
So he had a lot to do with the stadium design itself.

1284
00:45:48,670 --> 00:45:49,670
Yeah.

1285
00:45:49,670 --> 00:45:50,670
There's tons of bathrooms.

1286
00:45:50,670 --> 00:45:51,670
They're all clean.

1287
00:45:51,670 --> 00:45:56,869
And there's enough bathrooms that you can, it's like the wait time is like two

1288
00:45:56,869 --> 00:45:57,469
minutes

1289
00:45:57,469 --> 00:45:58,630
from seat to bathroom.

1290
00:45:58,630 --> 00:46:00,309
Oh, I haven't heard that.

1291
00:46:00,309 --> 00:46:01,309
Nice.

1292
00:46:01,309 --> 00:46:02,309
Yeah.

1293
00:46:02,309 --> 00:46:03,309
He said it was great.

1294
00:46:03,309 --> 00:46:04,309
And like their whole facial recognition technology was super cool.

1295
00:46:04,309 --> 00:46:05,309
You don't have to have a ticket.

1296
00:46:05,309 --> 00:46:06,309
Anything like that.

1297
00:46:06,309 --> 00:46:07,309
Oh, I didn't know that.

1298
00:46:07,309 --> 00:46:08,309
Oh yeah.

1299
00:46:08,309 --> 00:46:11,679
You like do this whole setup on the app where you like, you take a picture of

1300
00:46:11,679 --> 00:46:12,389
yourself and

1301
00:46:12,389 --> 00:46:14,949
it's like some of the Amazon fresh stores.

1302
00:46:14,949 --> 00:46:18,269
You just walk in, it recognizes you and they let you in.

1303
00:46:18,269 --> 00:46:19,269
Oh yeah.

1304
00:46:19,269 --> 00:46:20,269
That we have here in Milwaukee.

1305
00:46:20,269 --> 00:46:21,269
Oh, do you?

1306
00:46:21,269 --> 00:46:22,269
Yeah.

1307
00:46:22,269 --> 00:46:23,269
It's something...

1308
00:46:23,269 --> 00:46:24,269
I've never seen that before.

1309
00:46:24,269 --> 00:46:25,269
Yeah.

1310
00:46:25,269 --> 00:46:29,469
I forgot what you have to either give them your card or something about your

1311
00:46:29,469 --> 00:46:30,070
wrist or

1312
00:46:30,070 --> 00:46:31,070
something.

1313
00:46:31,070 --> 00:46:32,389
Oh, this is facial recognition.

1314
00:46:32,389 --> 00:46:36,190
This is you just walk in and it recognizes you and boop you're in.

1315
00:46:36,190 --> 00:46:40,590
You grab a can and it won't charge you until you crack it.

1316
00:46:40,590 --> 00:46:42,550
This isn't for food sales.

1317
00:46:42,550 --> 00:46:43,630
I've seen that before.

1318
00:46:43,630 --> 00:46:44,710
This is not for food sales.

1319
00:46:44,710 --> 00:46:46,510
This is for ticket entry.

1320
00:46:46,510 --> 00:46:47,510
Oh.

1321
00:46:47,510 --> 00:46:48,510
Yeah.

1322
00:46:48,510 --> 00:46:52,510
Like as you walk in the door, it just recognizes you and lets you in.

1323
00:46:52,510 --> 00:46:53,510
That's fucked up.

1324
00:46:53,510 --> 00:46:54,510
Yeah.

1325
00:46:54,510 --> 00:46:55,510
It's a little creepy honestly.

1326
00:46:55,510 --> 00:46:56,510
Yeah.

1327
00:46:56,510 --> 00:46:57,510
That's...

1328
00:46:57,510 --> 00:46:58,510
Yeah.

1329
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,510
You're everywhere.

1330
00:46:59,510 --> 00:47:00,510
Right.

1331
00:47:00,510 --> 00:47:01,510
Exactly.

1332
00:47:01,510 --> 00:47:02,510
Yeah.

1333
00:47:02,510 --> 00:47:03,510
The Phoenix Suns at $14.99.

1334
00:47:03,510 --> 00:47:06,030
Number six, the Nets at $15.47.

1335
00:47:06,030 --> 00:47:10,590
Number five, the Bulls at $15.75.

1336
00:47:10,590 --> 00:47:15,510
Number four, the New York Knickerbockers $16.11.

1337
00:47:15,510 --> 00:47:20,309
Number three, Golden State Warriors $17 a lot.

1338
00:47:20,309 --> 00:47:21,309
Yeah.

1339
00:47:21,309 --> 00:47:22,550
Top two.

1340
00:47:22,550 --> 00:47:28,679
Number two, Los Nuggets $17.32, which is hilarious because how far does that

1341
00:47:28,679 --> 00:47:29,909
beer have to travel

1342
00:47:29,909 --> 00:47:31,469
from down the street?

1343
00:47:31,469 --> 00:47:32,469
Not very.

1344
00:47:32,469 --> 00:47:33,469
That's my guess.

1345
00:47:33,469 --> 00:47:35,590
And the number one most expensive beer in all of basketball.

1346
00:47:35,590 --> 00:47:37,670
Did you say Boston yet?

1347
00:47:37,670 --> 00:47:39,670
And boy, can they suck a big fat dick?

1348
00:47:39,670 --> 00:47:41,349
That's the Boston Celtics, everybody.

1349
00:47:41,349 --> 00:47:42,630
Oh, there it is.

1350
00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:44,989
At over 20 bucks a beer.

1351
00:47:44,989 --> 00:47:46,429
That's messed up.

1352
00:47:46,429 --> 00:47:47,829
20, 32.

1353
00:47:47,829 --> 00:47:51,989
They are $3 more than the number two spot.

1354
00:47:51,989 --> 00:47:53,150
That is messed up.

1355
00:47:53,150 --> 00:47:54,150
Yeah.

1356
00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:55,150
How did they get away with that?

1357
00:47:55,150 --> 00:47:56,150
What a shitty town.

1358
00:47:56,150 --> 00:47:57,150
I don't know.

1359
00:47:57,150 --> 00:47:59,190
What a shitty, shitty sports town.

1360
00:47:59,190 --> 00:48:00,190
Fuck you, Boston.

1361
00:48:00,190 --> 00:48:01,190
Can't stand them.

1362
00:48:01,190 --> 00:48:02,190
I don't know.

1363
00:48:02,190 --> 00:48:04,670
Unless you live in the area, you hate them.

1364
00:48:04,670 --> 00:48:05,670
Yeah.

1365
00:48:05,670 --> 00:48:06,670
It's kind of like the Yankees.

1366
00:48:06,670 --> 00:48:07,670
Yeah.

1367
00:48:07,670 --> 00:48:09,269
I don't enjoy them either.

1368
00:48:09,269 --> 00:48:10,269
Right.

1369
00:48:10,269 --> 00:48:11,269
Exactly.

1370
00:48:11,269 --> 00:48:12,269
I hate the Yankees.

1371
00:48:12,269 --> 00:48:13,269
I also hate the Dodgers.

1372
00:48:13,269 --> 00:48:14,269
Oh, fuck you.

1373
00:48:14,269 --> 00:48:16,269
But you hated the Yankees more, right?

1374
00:48:16,269 --> 00:48:17,269
Yeah.

1375
00:48:17,269 --> 00:48:20,929
Like even just like 1% more because they had, it could be because they had a

1376
00:48:20,929 --> 00:48:21,989
bigger payroll.

1377
00:48:21,989 --> 00:48:22,989
I don't care why.

1378
00:48:22,989 --> 00:48:25,510
As long as you hate them slightly more.

1379
00:48:25,510 --> 00:48:26,030
For you?

1380
00:48:26,030 --> 00:48:33,300
Oh, fuck.

1381
00:48:33,300 --> 00:48:38,539
Man, $20 for a beer at a sporting event.

1382
00:48:38,539 --> 00:48:39,900
And you know, that's gotta be shitty beer.

1383
00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:42,980
It's not like 20 bucks for IPA or something.

1384
00:48:42,980 --> 00:48:44,579
I'm going home sober.

1385
00:48:44,579 --> 00:48:45,579
Yeah.

1386
00:48:45,579 --> 00:48:47,019
Or I'm walking in loaded.

1387
00:48:47,019 --> 00:48:48,019
You're right.

1388
00:48:48,019 --> 00:48:49,019
Yeah.

1389
00:48:49,019 --> 00:48:51,019
That's, that's what, I don't know if it's still there.

1390
00:48:51,019 --> 00:48:54,219
I'm not sure if I've talked about this on the show.

1391
00:48:54,219 --> 00:48:57,659
But a Staples Center, what the fuck they call it now, down the street from Stap

1392
00:48:57,659 --> 00:48:58,179
les, if you

1393
00:48:58,179 --> 00:49:04,840
take the Metro, which nobody in LA takes, and you get off like one stop before

1394
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:05,940
the Staples

1395
00:49:05,940 --> 00:49:10,619
Center stop, I think it's called like the 7th Street Metro Center or something.

1396
00:49:10,619 --> 00:49:12,940
There's a hotel across the street from that station.

1397
00:49:12,940 --> 00:49:15,820
You go up and then across the street, there's a hotel.

1398
00:49:15,820 --> 00:49:19,150
Underneath the hotel is like this little shopping, we'll call it a mall for

1399
00:49:19,150 --> 00:49:19,940
lack of a better

1400
00:49:19,940 --> 00:49:20,940
term.

1401
00:49:20,940 --> 00:49:24,539
And at the very back of it is a Carl's Jr.

1402
00:49:24,539 --> 00:49:27,920
And at that Carl's Jr., it must've been some other restaurant in the past

1403
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:28,260
because they

1404
00:49:28,260 --> 00:49:29,780
have three taps.

1405
00:49:29,780 --> 00:49:31,619
It's like the world's shittiest beer.

1406
00:49:31,619 --> 00:49:36,340
It's like Bud Light, Mikultra, Coors Light, or something like that.

1407
00:49:36,340 --> 00:49:41,210
The last time I was there, which was pre-COVID, it was still only like $8 a pit

1408
00:49:41,210 --> 00:49:41,820
cher.

1409
00:49:41,820 --> 00:49:42,820
A pitcher?

1410
00:49:42,820 --> 00:49:44,219
A pitcher.

1411
00:49:44,219 --> 00:49:46,059
And I'm not talking like those little pretend pitchers.

1412
00:49:46,059 --> 00:49:47,059
I'm talking the legitimate pitcher.

1413
00:49:47,059 --> 00:49:48,059
Wait.

1414
00:49:48,059 --> 00:49:49,059
Is this California we're talking about?

1415
00:49:49,059 --> 00:49:50,059
This is California.

1416
00:49:50,059 --> 00:49:53,269
I found out about it because I used to work in downtown LA a long, long time

1417
00:49:53,269 --> 00:49:53,820
ago doing

1418
00:49:53,820 --> 00:49:54,820
a computer job.

1419
00:49:54,820 --> 00:49:56,739
My buddy's like, "Hey, you want to go to Carl's Jr. for beer?"

1420
00:49:56,739 --> 00:49:57,739
And I was like, "What?

1421
00:49:57,739 --> 00:50:01,219
Carl's Jr. for beer?"

1422
00:50:01,219 --> 00:50:04,739
So then clearly taking over someone's liquor license or beer license, whatever.

1423
00:50:04,739 --> 00:50:06,099
I don't even know if it's still there.

1424
00:50:06,099 --> 00:50:10,219
In fact, I should go down there and find out if it's still there because $8 for

1425
00:50:10,219 --> 00:50:11,780
a pitcher.

1426
00:50:11,780 --> 00:50:12,780
That's a steal.

1427
00:50:12,780 --> 00:50:17,019
So get yourself a shitty burger and fries from Carl's Jr.

1428
00:50:17,019 --> 00:50:21,539
Get each person a pitcher because at that price you can fucking get your own.

1429
00:50:21,539 --> 00:50:22,539
Yeah.

1430
00:50:22,539 --> 00:50:23,539
Well, I'm going to buy a round of pitchers.

1431
00:50:23,539 --> 00:50:24,539
Exactly.

1432
00:50:24,539 --> 00:50:25,539
I'm a huge game.

1433
00:50:25,539 --> 00:50:26,860
You can have two pitchers.

1434
00:50:26,860 --> 00:50:27,860
And that's such a good price.

1435
00:50:27,860 --> 00:50:29,659
I'm buying a round of pitchers.

1436
00:50:29,659 --> 00:50:30,659
Right.

1437
00:50:30,659 --> 00:50:33,820
Have a couple pitchers, get loaded before the game starts.

1438
00:50:33,820 --> 00:50:36,820
You walk down, it's like, I don't know, three quarters of a mile or something

1439
00:50:36,820 --> 00:50:37,380
like that

1440
00:50:37,380 --> 00:50:38,380
to Staples Center.

1441
00:50:38,380 --> 00:50:39,380
Boom.

1442
00:50:39,380 --> 00:50:40,380
You don't need to buy any beers.

1443
00:50:40,380 --> 00:50:43,980
Or maybe you buy like one beer at halftime to keep the buzz going.

1444
00:50:43,980 --> 00:50:44,980
No big deal.

1445
00:50:44,980 --> 00:50:45,980
I like it.

1446
00:50:45,980 --> 00:50:46,980
Yeah.

1447
00:50:46,980 --> 00:50:50,280
If anybody's been to Staples Center lately and knows my secret, please let me

1448
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:50,659
know if

1449
00:50:50,659 --> 00:50:56,559
that place still exists because boy, was that a magical tree underground Carl's

1450
00:50:56,559 --> 00:50:57,219
Jr.

1451
00:50:57,219 --> 00:51:05,400
Sounds like you fucking high one day just wandered around and that's what your

1452
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:06,260
memory

1453
00:51:06,260 --> 00:51:07,260
recollects.

1454
00:51:07,260 --> 00:51:11,780
I mean, I would have never known had somebody not been like, Hey, you want to

1455
00:51:11,780 --> 00:51:12,659
go for burgers

1456
00:51:12,659 --> 00:51:13,659
and beer at Carl's Jr.

1457
00:51:13,659 --> 00:51:16,539
I was like, what?

1458
00:51:16,539 --> 00:51:17,539
It was great.

1459
00:51:17,539 --> 00:51:21,460
And when I found out about it, was at a very low time in my life.

1460
00:51:21,460 --> 00:51:23,619
I had just like broken up with a long-term girlfriend.

1461
00:51:23,619 --> 00:51:25,219
I was working down there.

1462
00:51:25,219 --> 00:51:28,940
And so my buddy who I worked with like every day at lunch was like burgers and

1463
00:51:28,940 --> 00:51:29,420
beer.

1464
00:51:29,420 --> 00:51:30,420
Like fuck.

1465
00:51:30,420 --> 00:51:31,420
Yeah, man.

1466
00:51:31,420 --> 00:51:34,340
Burgers and beer for lunch every day.

1467
00:51:34,340 --> 00:51:37,860
We were not very productive after like two o'clock.

1468
00:51:37,860 --> 00:51:39,219
You deserved it though.

1469
00:51:39,219 --> 00:51:40,219
I did.

1470
00:51:40,219 --> 00:51:41,219
I felt better.

1471
00:51:41,219 --> 00:51:42,659
But yeah, it's good times.

1472
00:51:42,659 --> 00:51:44,500
Hey Greg, how low are you right now?

1473
00:51:44,500 --> 00:51:48,260
Well, not lower than a Carl's Jr in a basement.

1474
00:51:48,260 --> 00:51:49,780
Let's fucking go.

1475
00:51:49,780 --> 00:51:52,699
Never got that low.

1476
00:51:52,699 --> 00:51:54,019
Love it.

1477
00:51:54,019 --> 00:51:55,300
Oh yeah.

1478
00:51:55,300 --> 00:51:56,300
Good times.

1479
00:51:56,300 --> 00:51:58,900
I did end up staying in that hotel years after that job.

1480
00:51:58,900 --> 00:52:04,099
I stayed at that hotel one time for work and I went out there.

1481
00:52:04,099 --> 00:52:07,300
It was, I mean, this is all pre COVID, but it's like still there.

1482
00:52:07,300 --> 00:52:09,039
It's got a couple of pictures.

1483
00:52:09,039 --> 00:52:10,039
I hope so.

1484
00:52:10,039 --> 00:52:11,380
I really, truly hope so.

1485
00:52:11,380 --> 00:52:13,619
Boy, was that a hidden gem?

1486
00:52:13,619 --> 00:52:14,619
Probably hidden gem.

1487
00:52:14,619 --> 00:52:15,619
Anyways.

1488
00:52:15,619 --> 00:52:16,619
All right.

1489
00:52:16,619 --> 00:52:17,619
Let's get the fuck out of here.

1490
00:52:17,619 --> 00:52:18,619
I got more beers to drink.

1491
00:52:18,619 --> 00:52:19,619
I don't want to be here anymore.

1492
00:52:19,619 --> 00:52:20,619
Yeah.

1493
00:52:20,619 --> 00:52:21,619
Tired of looking at my face.

1494
00:52:21,619 --> 00:52:22,619
I got a Carl's Jr to get to.

1495
00:52:22,619 --> 00:52:23,619
I'm going to say hello to Vanessa.

1496
00:52:23,619 --> 00:52:24,619

1497
00:52:24,619 --> 00:52:25,619
