>> Announcer (00:00):
On the next episode of Sip, suds and smokes.

>> Dave (00:04):
Today we will be trying the thriller pack from
angry orchard, Glow in the dark and packed with
bold Halloween treat inspired colors.

>> (00:17):
Ciders.

>> Dave (00:18):
Uh, cider, sure. This variety pack. I hate you.
Features a killer twist, a limited edition Jason
Voorhees blood orange can. This pack is the
highlight of freaky season. Yeah. And won't stick
around forever. The ciders we'll try today are

(00:40):
blood orange, M extra bloody, uh, berry bewitched,
sinful with a c apple, and headless pumpkin.

>> Announcer (00:53):
We'll be right back after this break. Brought to

(01:18):
you almost live from the, uh, dude in the basement
studios.

>> Dave (01:21):
Why?

>> Announcer (01:22):
Because that's where the good stuff is. It sips
suds and smokes with your smoke and host the good
old boys.

>> (01:50):
Suds. Suds. Suds.

>> Announcer (01:52):
It's time for more suds.

>> Julianna (01:59):
Hey, everyone, welcome, um, to another sud segment
where we aren't afraid of haunted houses or creepy
cemeteries at night. No, no. The only places that
scared us are, uh, beer stores that put shark top
in the craft section and breweries that talk more

(02:22):
about their food than their beer. Okay, I'm
scared.

>> Dave (02:27):
I am scared because I did not think. I honestly.

>> (02:31):
No, listen, honestly, she's never done that
before.

>> Dave (02:34):
I honestly believe that good old boy Mike did the
worst fake accents, like, in the history of the
world.

>> (02:41):
At least the continuity of.

>> Dave (02:44):
Of you.

>> (02:44):
Of doing pathetic accent. You destroyed it. She
has. She has joined the club.

>> Dave (02:49):
That was potential. Like, I don't know what part
of the world you thought you were in.

>> (02:53):
I mean, I feel that we have offended a whole new
group of people.

>> Dave (02:57):
I think several. Because she was. She was in Latin
America for a little bit. I think she was in the
Balkans. Um, she might. She might have, like,
wandered into somewhere in Asia. Yeah. And she
probably offended someone in the northeast as
well.

>> (03:13):
Absolutely. They are four pissed off Canadians
going, dude, seriously, this is offensive.

>> Julianna (03:19):
You are welcome.

>> (03:20):
I'm sorry.

>> Julianna (03:20):
You are so welcome.

>> Dave (03:22):
I have no idea what's going on.

>> Julianna (03:23):
I'm so proud to take up this mantle.

>> (03:26):
Don't change the channel yet. We actually have
some really cool things.

>> Dave (03:29):
Stuff might happen.

>> (03:31):
Stuff might happen. That's right.

>> Julianna (03:32):
All right, you guys are rude. Um, I'm one of your
hosts. Good o gal Juliana. And joining me at the
table today is good ol boy Mike.

>> (03:40):
Well, I could aspire to offend, uh, a whole new
group of people, but Julianna has done such a
great job of that and taking that off my
shoulders. I'm so happy. All I have to say is one,
one Pissed off host here today.

>> Dave (03:54):
So, yes, I, uh, I give my credit. I thought he was
going to be too intimidated to do a fake accent
after that.

>> (04:03):
No, I'm sorry. You just said Mike intimidated.
Those are two words.

>> Dave (04:07):
He took it as a challenge.

>> (04:09):
Yes. I think our beverages in front of us are
intimidating enough, so.

>> Julianna (04:12):
Hi, good old boy Dave.

>> Dave (04:14):
Hey. This is how I really sound.

>> Julianna (04:18):
Whatever.

>> (04:18):
Sadly, one. One redneck from.

>> Julianna (04:25):
Nice. Okay, fall is here, folks, and the weather
is finally starting to cool down.

>> (04:32):
Sort of football time in Tennessee.

>> Julianna (04:34):
It is about time.

>> Dave (04:35):
Roll tide.

>> Julianna (04:36):
The store. Who are you? That's gross.

>> Dave (04:42):
I could have said anchor down, I guess.

>> Julianna (04:43):
Okay, that's a little better than that. That's
whatever. The stores are full of pumpkin beer,
pumpkin bread, pumpkin coffee, creamer,
everything. And there's an abomination known as
candy corn. And it's just running rampant.

>> Dave (05:02):
It's right in your face.

>> (05:03):
Is it corn? Is it candy? Is it candy corn?

>> Julianna (05:06):
Or is it something else? Yes. Well, it must be
getting close to Halloween. I mean, it's gotta be,
right? One could hope.

>> Dave (05:15):
I'm too scared to tell.

>> (05:17):
Hold my hand.

>> Julianna (05:18):
Oh, geez. With that in mind, we found a collection
of ciders that we hope don't taste as scary as
they look. Groupo de. I like how I said your name
and the screaming started.

>> Dave (05:36):
I get that from a lot of girls.

>> Julianna (05:38):
Um, please tell us more.

>> Dave (05:41):
I can't with you right now. Today we will be
trying the thriller pack from Angry Orchard. Uh,
that's apple cider. If, uh, for those of you don't
know, hard cider. Their cider so hard.

>> (05:57):
Um, 4.7%.

>> Dave (05:59):
Here's what their website says about it. Glow in
the dark and packed with bold Halloween treat,
inspired colors. Ciders, uh, cider, sure. This
variety pack, I hate you. Features a killer twist,
a limited edition Jason Voorhees blood orange can.

(06:23):
This pack is the highlight of freaky season. Yeah.
And won't stick around forever.

>> (06:29):
Except in your apple. Right back here.

>> Dave (06:32):
Except in your, uh, lower intestines. There are
certain heavy metals that will never leave your
body once you consume them. The ciders we'll try
today are Blood Orange, Extra Bloody, uh, Berry
Bewitched, Sinful with a C apple, and headless

(06:54):
Pumpkin.

>> (06:57):
I'm debating how long that marketing meeting was
to come, um, up with those product names. You
know, is this. Was this the first round of product
names or like the fifth? Or, you know, did they.
Did they acquire somebody from a competitor and
they went, I've got an idea.

>> Dave (07:12):
You know, like, what was the point of sinful with
a C. I don't get it.

>> (07:18):
Oh, that. That feels like at least a 17 minute
discussion.

>> Dave (07:21):
M. Yeah, I think one guy didn't say anything in
the entire meeting and he was like, I've got to
get my piece in on this. He's like, well, what if
he hopped into it?

>> (07:33):
He had, uh, you know, engine and said, uh, how can
I make this worse?

>> Dave (07:37):
Yeah, it's like, hey, we don't want to alienate
all the church people who might be buying hard
cider, so let's change that S to a C and then it's
fun.

>> Julianna (07:46):
Yeah, you know, it's great.

>> Dave (07:48):
It's fun. It's.

>> Julianna (07:49):
It's great. Okay, why don't you give us the
shoulds ratings for today?

>> (07:55):
I will do my best impression here. We'll be
tasting instead rating. I am walking away from
this rating and signature belching. Belching
sounds. Number one. That sucks. Give me anything
but a free trip to Crystal Lake. It's such rating.

(08:22):
Number two. Was that a belch? With sound of
absolute terror. Suds three. Ah, what a relief.
That creepy doll's eyes are really following me
wherever I go. Suds4. 4. A body should really not

(08:49):
make that sound as if it's being shoved into the
wood chipper. Faster. Faster. He sounds like the
guy.

>> Dave (09:00):
Fiddler on the Roof.

>> (09:02):
Listen to the thing. Time. Give me another. Freddy
versus Jason versus Michael Miles versus Dracula
versus this guy. Who knows what I'll be doing.
Last summer mashup movie.

>> Dave (09:19):
You know, it's not zero rehearsal. It's not easy
to just make up new suds rating all the time. Yes,
but it's very easy to murder them.

>> (09:33):
Are you saying that that's not how you thought it
would go in your head when you wrote. Wrote that
out?

>> Dave (09:38):
Yeah, that's, uh. Oh, it's exactly how I knew it
would happen.

>> (09:41):
And we almost hit the bottom.

>> Dave (09:44):
Yeah.

>> (09:44):
All right.

>> Julianna (09:45):
And, uh, you said murdered.

>> (09:47):
Murdered, yes.

>> Julianna (09:50):
Okay, let's get to the first one.

>> (09:53):
Yeah.

>> Dave (09:54):
Okay.

>> Julianna (09:56):
Oh, boy.

>> Dave (09:57):
Which one is this?

>> Julianna (09:58):
This would be the blood orange flavored, um, with
other natural flavors.

>> Dave (10:04):
Yeah.

>> (10:05):
Well, I thought what was interesting said other.
Yeah. So Dave's first comment was. Hm. That
doesn't look right. You know. Is it red? You know,
uh, for sure.

>> Julianna (10:18):
Um, 5% ABV. Folks.

>> (10:20):
I was close. I said 4.7.

>> Dave (10:22):
Mike, tell me all the things in nature that are
this col. Um. Hm.

>> (10:26):
Um. Well, it is. Ah, it's very sweet. Um, and not
like a natural way. It's almost like a, you know,
like an other natural Way like an aspartame, you
know, kind of way.

>> Julianna (10:45):
Yeah, yeah, like a bad candy.

>> (10:47):
Like my mouth is like candy corn was blended.

>> Dave (10:50):
Mouth is very chalky.

>> Julianna (10:52):
We'll be back more. Welcome back everyone. You
know they're all making fun of my voice.

>> (11:09):
Not laughing at you. I'm laughing with you.

>> Julianna (11:13):
Well, ladies and gents, today's episode we are
taking a little 12 pack here from Angry Orchard
called the Thriller pack.

>> Dave (11:23):
I think I know why they're angry.

>> Julianna (11:26):
And the first beer before the break is the blood
orange cider. And besides talking about the
wonderful non natural color that it is, we um.
What is the aroma that you get off of this?

>> (11:43):
I um, was um, saying that it was um, a bit of
citrus on there. Definitely reminds me of a juice
box. Like a kid's juice box, you know, uh, that
you would uh, you know, if you were putting it in
a glass, you know, and as opposed to consuming it
through a straw. Has a lot of those same, I don't

(12:06):
know, artificial driven, you know, aroma.

>> Dave (12:09):
I think that's why they put juice box juice in
juice boxes. Because you don't see it.

>> (12:15):
I don't think 5% would be enough to calm down most
5 year olds.

>> Julianna (12:18):
So does this taste alcoholic really at all?

>> Dave (12:23):
Tastes to me.

>> (12:25):
Mhm.

>> Dave (12:25):
Like second hand Hawaiian Punch.

>> (12:28):
There you go. I was gonna say, uh, nice.

>> Julianna (12:30):
Okay.

>> (12:31):
When is the Kool Aid man coming?

>> Dave (12:32):
Oh yeah, this is like Hawaiian Punch that someone
else enjoyed, then didn't enjoy, gave it back and
then you drink it.

>> Julianna (12:41):
Okay.

>> (12:42):
Um, and put just like a couple of shots of vodka
in it or.

>> Dave (12:45):
Or neutral grain spirit malt malt liquor.

>> Julianna (12:49):
Well in, in general and you know, I'm playing the
devil's advocate here. Apple cider. When I think
of apple cider, I'm thinking of like some crisp
apples, something. I'm thinking of a little
yeastiness to kind of dry it out. And that's my.
Like that to me. Right, right, right. That to me
is a, is a good cider.

>> Dave (13:09):
Something that accentuates the flavor of an apple.

>> Julianna (13:13):
Sure. And like maybe maybe add uh, like a cherry
or a blue or you can do berries of some sort. But
usually like I think of those going together. I
don't know that I necessarily think of an orange
with an apple in the same breath. Like do you know
what I mean? Because, because oranges are like

(13:33):
acidic citrus and an apple tends to be like.

>> Dave (13:38):
Well, let's be very clear. Okay.

>> Julianna (13:40):
Yeah.

>> Dave (13:40):
And I'm not. And I wasn't there when they made
this.

>> Julianna (13:43):
Okay.

>> Dave (13:44):
I would be Greatly surprised if there was an
actual apple or an actual blood orange within six
miles of where this was made.

>> (13:55):
It feels very.

>> Julianna (13:56):
Okay.

>> (13:57):
It. It tastes like a flavor man experience.

>> Dave (13:59):
It tastes like science. Yeah. Yes. I think some
food scientists came up with some stuff and put
something together. Now they're going to say
there's apples. And I don't know what the rules
are, Mike, about how much apple has to be in a can
of a beverage for you to say that there's apple in
it.

>> (14:19):
Oh, I think this is just labeled as a malt
beverage. I don't even think they declared as a
cider. Yeah, you know.

>> Julianna (14:25):
You know, it says in the ingredients, it just says
hard cider.

>> Dave (14:31):
So hard cider. So they added some hard cider. One
apple, one, uh, one half apple. Okay.

>> Julianna (14:37):
Okay.

>> (14:38):
Yeah. Uh, here's my rating.

>> Julianna (14:39):
Okay, so we are going to rate this a. Oh, God. The
special one. Yes, this number one. Okay, so. So
maybe one didn't like a blood orange, but now
let's go to the berry Bewitched.

>> Dave (14:56):
My mouth feels weird.

>> Julianna (14:58):
Okay, this is another 5% ABV. And of course, it's
gluten free. Like, everything here is different.
Gluten free.

>> Dave (15:07):
It smells more berry ish.

>> (15:10):
Yeah, definitely way more blueberry. Uh, it would
probably be the big draw of this.

>> Julianna (15:16):
Okay. And it's the color on this is a little bit
more of a naturalish looking blue berry juice.

>> (15:26):
Yes. Ah, this is definitely, you know, like.

>> Julianna (15:29):
A cranberry kind of thing.

>> (15:31):
No, definitely blueberry. Um, very purple.

>> Julianna (15:35):
Oh, does it. Yeah, I guess it does have a
purplish.

>> Dave (15:39):
Yeah, it's a blueberry ish juice.

>> Julianna (15:43):
Now, this one, to me, is drier than the previous
one. Um, like, the viscosity I was getting on the
first one was a little thicker.

>> (15:52):
Uh, this is. This is actually heavier on the
palette. Um, I think.

>> Julianna (15:57):
Oh, really?

>> (15:58):
Okay.

>> Dave (15:58):
All I'm getting is more residual sweetness on
this.

>> Julianna (16:01):
Okay.

>> Dave (16:01):
It does finish. The sugar is different, dry like
the other one. This is m. This one is actually
more pleasant.

>> (16:09):
I agree.

>> Dave (16:10):
Like, vastly more present or pleasant than the
other one. Not good. I'm not saying good. Don't go
crazy. But, like, I don't.

>> (16:20):
This is. This is closer to a cider. This doesn't
taste.

>> Dave (16:25):
I would finish the can of this one.

>> Julianna (16:27):
Okay.

>> Dave (16:28):
I would drink. I'd drink a whole can.

>> (16:29):
I would finish the sample in front of me.

>> Dave (16:32):
Well, that's a step up.

>> (16:33):
That's a step up.

>> Julianna (16:34):
Yeah, that is. That is a step up. Okay. So in
tasting these, like, magical flavored ciders mhm.
What does one eat with these?

>> Dave (16:45):
Ooh, uh, Halloween candy.

>> (16:50):
I, I would say something that has no sugar in it
because these are so sugar.

>> Dave (16:56):
I would eat hot dogs or hamburgers. Yeah, some
kind of in, uh, but also kind of salty like,
because you might pull a little bit more of the
flavor, the sweetness out of this.

>> (17:09):
You know, Um, I can see some, uh, fatty cheeses,
uh, would probably go well with this. Commemor.
Uh, brie. Um, you know, even, um, a great
manchingo would probably go well with this.

>> Dave (17:26):
But I guess you, you also have to think
situationally though, Mike. Like, okay, you're
drinking. Which one is this? Berry Bewitched.
Okay. So it's not like you're gonna go to a
steakhouse and get a steak and say, well, you
know, what beverage would you like? Oh, do you
have any of that angry orchard berry be. Which you

(17:47):
know, to go with it, my, you know, 14 ounce rib
eye, um, and baked potato. So like, that's why I
said like a hot dog or something. Like, I think
this, you would be at a, a party or like a
barbecue or something and like whip one of these
out and have it in that context. I think, you

(18:09):
know, it's not, it's also situational and not just
strictly about food pairings.

>> (18:15):
Yeah. You know, I just wouldn't have it with, you
know, something like a birthday cake or.

>> Dave (18:19):
No, because you don't want to just.

>> (18:22):
Or you know, uh, again, something that would be
bringing more sugar to the table, you know.

>> Dave (18:28):
Yeah, you're just stacking sugar at that point.

>> (18:30):
Yeah, Yeah.

>> Julianna (18:32):
I, I'm just wondering, like, in general, who is
the apple cider drinker? Is this somebody that
doesn't like beer?

>> (18:41):
Yes.

>> Julianna (18:41):
Okay. But also somebody that likes something a
little sweet.

>> (18:45):
Somebody that does not like hops, I would say
would be at the top of my list.

>> Julianna (18:48):
Okay.

>> (18:49):
Yeah. But also somebody that has delusions of
grandeur thinking that cider, uh, is actually
lower in calorie. Yeah. Which is not true at all.

>> Dave (18:57):
You know, the gluten free crowd, you know, they'll
go for this.

>> (19:01):
But.

>> Dave (19:01):
But also, I don't like some of the ciders that
we've had on the show. Like that French cider Mike
brought that one time. And like some of those.
Yeah, like this and that.

>> Julianna (19:14):
That's two different worlds, you know, uh, pardon
my French, but apples and oranges.

>> Dave (19:19):
A person who likes this, I think would equally
dislike that French cider as they would a beer,
you know.

>> Julianna (19:27):
All right, we're gonna rate this one quick and
we're gonna rate it a 2.

>> Dave (19:33):
It's twice as good as the last one.

>> Julianna (19:36):
That's what that means. No, I don't get a yeah,
sure.

>> Dave (19:43):
Well, why would you get them?

>> Julianna (19:44):
I think we'll be back in just a minute with more.

>> Dave (19:47):
I'm the one who said the funny thing. I wasn't
talking to you, Mike.

>> Julianna (20:00):
Welcome back, everyone. Um, and how are you today?

>> Dave (20:06):
I just expressed my love for good old Mike.

>> (20:09):
Very, very, very in the spirit of the moon.

>> Dave (20:13):
I don't even know what button to hit.

>> (20:16):
Yeah. And once again.

>> Dave (20:19):
Oh, that's unpleasant.

>> Julianna (20:21):
Ladies and gents, it's not just us with our fake
accents. Um, today we are doing a little takeover
from Angry Orchard. We have been trying their
Thriller pack. I just don't like drinking it, but
I like when I feel good after it. Yeah. Uh, she

(20:42):
needs to be here at the table. So right before the
break, we had talked about two out of the four of
this Thriller pack pack. And the next one that we
are going to talk about is the sinful with a C I N
N. Yeah, there's two wins. Yes. Um, this, the

(21:04):
Sinful Apple and looks alone. This is what a cider
usually.

>> Dave (21:17):
I mean if you just poured this out in a cup, you
would say, yeah, okay, that's apple cider.

>> Julianna (21:23):
Right.

>> Dave (21:24):
Then you smell it and you're like, um, yeah, I
mean, maybe apple cider maybe. Yeah. I think
there's a cinnamon presence there in the nose as
the winos like to say.

>> Julianna (21:38):
This one has a lot of tiny bubbles. You know.

>> Dave (21:46):
If you take the first one, the blood orange as the
baseline.

>> Julianna (21:50):
Okay.

>> Dave (21:51):
And then you do the Berry Bewitched as a step up.
I don't know that I like this better than the
Berry Bewitched.

>> Julianna (22:02):
Okay.

>> Dave (22:02):
But I do like it better than the blood orange.

>> (22:06):
Um, this definitely has a lot more of what you
would think of in terms of having apple, you know,
traditional apple cider or just apple juice in
general.

>> Julianna (22:15):
Okay.

>> (22:16):
Um.

>> Dave (22:16):
It's still too sweet.

>> (22:17):
Yeah, I agree. And the cinnamon feels like it's
been.

>> Dave (22:20):
Back sweetened and the cinnamon takes overtakes
the apple.

>> Julianna (22:24):
Well, I was gonna say is that there's. It's like
cinnamon heavy.

>> Dave (22:29):
It's like drinking Apple Jack cereal.

>> (22:32):
Mhm. Yeah.

>> Julianna (22:35):
I think that even make Apple Jack cereal. Anyway.

>> Dave (22:39):
Yeah.

>> Julianna (22:39):
Okay.

>> Dave (22:40):
Like I hate to say it but like this is marketed
towards. I'm not gonna say children. Okay.

>> Julianna (22:51):
I. I was thinking toddler myself, but.

>> Dave (22:53):
You know, that's just the very young and the non
real alcohol drinker.

>> Julianna (22:59):
Okay. You know, that's Fair.

>> (23:01):
Yeah, it's definitely appealing to, again,
somebody that's not looking for something that's
bitter at all in any shape or form.

>> Julianna (23:08):
Um, well, there's nothing bitter about any of
these.

>> (23:10):
And the reason why it tastes like it is out of
balance and jacked up, you know, because it
doesn't have, you know, anything to bring that
balance, you know, around.

>> Dave (23:19):
So there's not enough alcohol.

>> (23:22):
If there's anything that I would have probably
done with this, I would have actually poured this
on ice because, you know, I think diluting, uh, it
down would reduce a lot of the, you know, invasion
of sugar up front, you know, through this.

>> Julianna (23:34):
Yeah. And also, this is the kind of beverage that
needs to be, like, ice cold.

>> (23:38):
Yeah.

>> Julianna (23:39):
To. To.

>> Dave (23:40):
I. I'd pour a shot of vodka in it or maybe even
bourbon.

>> (23:44):
I would have just, uh, had the shot of vodka and
poured this out. Fair. Um, yeah, this is. This is
another sugar bomb, but it's, uh, very different.
This is just, you know, flat out just, uh. Wow.

>> Dave (23:59):
I think Mike's gonna rate this one a four.

>> (24:01):
Uh, yeah. So, yes. Um, I don't think this one's
gonna crawl off the floor for me. Oh, yeah.

>> Dave (24:07):
I'm gonna say this because it's better than the
blood one.

>> Julianna (24:10):
Okay.

>> (24:10):
All right.

>> Julianna (24:11):
And I was. Well, so we are going to rate the
sinful Apple A2.

>> Dave (24:17):
It does make my stomach hurt, though. I don't know
if that detracts.

>> Julianna (24:22):
Okay. So if we're thinking about holiday get
togethers, and for me, when I think of the fall, I
think of football games, you know, tailgating.

>> Dave (24:32):
Um, which one of your ugly cousins are you gonna
give this to? Mike?

>> (24:35):
M. Yeah, that's a good question.

>> Julianna (24:39):
Um, does this even come to the tailgate?

>> (24:44):
I'm, uh, I'm definitely thinking of a certain
cousin, yes.

>> Julianna (24:47):
Oh, okay. So this does come to the tailgate.

>> (24:51):
Yeah, I think.

>> Dave (24:52):
I think there's a.

>> (24:53):
There's a company if. Yeah, I agree. If you're in
a crowd of 30 people, there's going to be somebody
that's gonna go, I like this.

>> Julianna (25:00):
Okay, That's. That's fair. Is bobbing for apples
also going to be on the table?

>> Dave (25:06):
I think. I mean, I think your hard seltzer crowd
go for this just as easy as they would a, um, you
know, a twisted whatever or a, uh, claw thing.

>> Julianna (25:17):
Okay. You know, the white claws in the.

>> Dave (25:20):
Yeah, I mean, because, um, there is flavor here.
It's just.

>> (25:27):
So. I'll confess, what I'm actually having here at
the same time is actually have Some white cheddar
Cheez. Its that I'm having to cleanse my palate.
Oh.

>> Dave (25:36):
How's all. How's that contrast?

>> Julianna (25:38):
It's helping.

>> (25:38):
It's really helping an awful lot to, you know,
combat this much sugar, uh, that is just hanging
around, you know, uh, on your palate itself. So,
um, when we were talking about pairing earlier.
Yeah. Uh, um, all the way to go, for sure.

>> Dave (25:57):
Which is like what you would have at a, you know,
holiday party or a, you know, or tailgate or
something. People are, you know, I could grab a
couple hot dogs and slam a couple of these. You'll
probably be all right.

>> (26:10):
So. Yeah, Dave said earlier that, uh, these are
supposed to glow in the dark. And we were
debating, does the can glow in the dark? Does the
box glow in the dark? I think it has to be glow in
the dark.

>> Dave (26:21):
I think it has to pass through.

>> (26:23):
Your body or as you're tasting or as you are
relieving yourself of these fine beverages. I use
the word, that part. Glowing in the dark
beverages.

>> Dave (26:33):
You know, are you.

>> (26:34):
Are you, uh, writing, you know, your name in the
grass, you know, uh, under the. Under the darkness
of night?

>> Dave (26:40):
I have to say this, though, Mike, and this is in
all seriousness, I think that is an actual winning
marketing strategy. If you had a beverage that
when you let it go later on, you were, you know,
like, creating your own.

>> (26:55):
Glow stick, whatever, that'd be an interesting
conversation. Uh, in the restroom. Yo, yo, yo, yo,
man, come over here. Look at this.

>> Dave (27:02):
Yeah. Hey, somebody turned the bathroom light out.
Yeah. Yo, man, look, this technically is glowing.
That is one of the only. That is one of the main
things you never want to hear in a. In a men's
room. Where do you put somebody Turn the lights
out.

>> (27:17):
Do you describe that as an experience or do you
put that down as a skill, you know, on your
resume? I mean, you know, where does that fit?
It's like, I have. I have viewed, you know, what
glows in the dark with, you know, you know, my
piss. Or do you describe that as a skill and say,
dude, I can make this happen. Watch.

>> Dave (27:34):
You know, I just think, though, like, you know,
for bonfires and things like that, guys are going
to go, you know, drink a lot.

>> (27:42):
It sounds like you're promoting somebody, but.

>> Dave (27:44):
Like, man, you start. You start whipping it around
and, like, stuff's glowing in the dark, people are
going to notice you.

>> (27:50):
Yeah, for sure. And here I'm thinking, here goes
Dave whipping it again.

>> Julianna (27:55):
Uh, if I'm. If I'm out side, you know, with Like
a. I don't know, like a bonfire or a get together,
you know, in a backyard, and you saw somebody with
glowing. Well, then I'm just wondering. Oh, okay.
So this is the side of the fence that no one needs
to go on because it's glowing?

>> Dave (28:15):
Because I would be. It might take me three trips,
but I would definitely write my name on the fence.

>> Julianna (28:22):
Oh, how sweet.

>> (28:25):
All right, turn the juice on the electric fence
again. Uh, Dave's heading over. Look at him
twitch.

>> Dave (28:31):
How did he misspell his own name?

>> (28:35):
Dan Again.

>> Dave (28:38):
I thought your name was Dave. Why does it say Dan?
Uh, I ran out of. Ran out of ammunition. Leave me
alone.

>> (28:44):
Hand me some more Barry Bewitched.

>> Julianna (28:47):
Oh, my stars.

>> Dave (28:49):
I think it's just poor aim. Yeah.

>> Julianna (28:51):
Uh, okay.

>> (28:52):
But I wonder how many people step into the. You
know, the marketing pool of, you know, that. That
gimmick, you know, just.

>> Dave (28:58):
Well, it's Halloween. It's scary, you know, like.
Or, you know, in scary movies. M. And maybe it's
that Jason Voorhees that glows in the dark or
something like. Oh, yeah, set that up.

>> (29:09):
I would definitely want more of that if that were
glowing in the dark.

>> Dave (29:11):
Yeah. And maybe if you drink it in the dark, it
tastes better.

>> Julianna (29:17):
Oh, I. That's. Yeah, that's a thought.

>> Dave (29:19):
If Kendall was here, we'd get him to shotgun one
of those.

>> (29:22):
Oh.

>> Dave (29:23):
See what that.

>> (29:24):
We have some spares, so that might be, you know, a
video that shows up on. On our social media
channels.

>> Dave (29:30):
Yeah.

>> Julianna (29:31):
And he would be.

>> (29:32):
I can hear him saying. Absolutely.

>> Dave (29:34):
We're doing that.

>> Julianna (29:35):
Yes. Right now. Let's go.

>> Dave (29:37):
I can hear him saying some things.

>> (29:39):
At the zoo last night. Yeah, probably. Well, not
probably in his current condition, but he would
have normally have probably been there, but.

>> Dave (29:46):
Yeah.

>> (29:47):
Um.

>> Announcer (29:47):
Oh, my gosh.

>> Julianna (29:48):
Yeah. Have this at brew at the zoo. All right.

>> Dave (29:51):
I think it would scare the animals.

>> Julianna (29:52):
We'll be back with more in just a minute. Welcome.
M back, everyone. And here we, uh, are gathered
around today to drink some cider.

>> (30:16):
Dear dad, please send an exit strategy. Love,
Mike.

>> Julianna (30:21):
Whatever. I am better than you. So today we did,
um, a bad thing. Yes, we did a very bad thing. We
found a thriller pack from Angry Orchard.

>> (30:35):
We brought. It was on the end Cap and Dave just
didn't want to walk down the rest of the.

>> Dave (30:38):
Yeah, I was like, oh.

>> Julianna (30:42):
Let'S just do it and be quick about it, Mike.

>> Dave (30:44):
You know what? That's actually pretty close.

>> (30:45):
A lot closer to the truth. I know. I don't think
this would even make it to the shelf. I think they
would just have it as an incap.

>> Dave (30:52):
I think the guy was hauling it from the back and
he's like, man, let's leave it here. Yeah.

>> Julianna (30:57):
And see what happens. Yeah.

>> (30:59):
Watch this.

>> Julianna (31:00):
Okay, so before the break, we were talking about
the sin C I, N N, F U L. Apple cider.

>> Dave (31:10):
Hey, I want to call out two of those letters to
you. F you.

>> Julianna (31:16):
And we are rating it A two. In case we didn't say
that earlier.

>> Dave (31:21):
Let'S make it very clear. This is a number two.

>> Julianna (31:24):
Okay, but now the piece, the resistance. No, I
think so just dead loud is going to be the save.

>> Dave (31:35):
The best for last.

>> (31:36):
Not even close.

>> Dave (31:37):
Yes. So it smells like pumpkin.

>> (31:40):
We, uh.

>> Julianna (31:41):
And this is another 5%.

>> Dave (31:42):
In a weird way, uh, while we.

>> (31:44):
Were out on break, um, uh, we were talking about
another brewery, uh, that was local, uh, to us,
that made a cream ale, Pumpkin pumpkin cream ale.
It would. It would taste pretty close to this
because this is. Which. When somebody, uh, said
that, you know, it was like, wow. Uh, you know,

(32:06):
how many things can you be offensive about all at
the same time? One, I don't think that brewery can
make a great cream ale. Two, I think dumping a
flavor on top of cream ale is like, you know,
seriously, that is just a bad idea all into
itself.

>> Dave (32:20):
It's a. It's like, hey, let me make this pork chop
flavored pilsner. Okay? Because.

>> (32:27):
Why.

>> Dave (32:27):
Why not? You know?

>> Julianna (32:28):
Pork chop pilsner?

>> Dave (32:30):
Yeah. Actually, somebody's gonna make that now.
Wow.

>> (32:34):
Um. This is so bad.

>> Dave (32:36):
This tastes like pumpkin pie cake icing.

>> Julianna (32:48):
Like frosting that's all artificial.

>> Dave (32:52):
Uh, I mean, I. Can you make that natural? I don't
know.

>> Julianna (32:57):
Okay.

>> Dave (32:57):
It's just like. It's. It's the pumpkin pie spice
stuff with a. Just a ton of sugar in it.

>> Julianna (33:04):
Like, would you say there's a degree of spiciness
that's, like, unnatural to this?

>> (33:11):
Like some baking spices, like cinnamon and.

>> Dave (33:14):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

>> Julianna (33:15):
So it's not just a pumpkin. It's all the
accoutrements that go with the pumpkin.

>> (33:19):
Well, I'm gonna say that it is, actually, to me, I
know this is. There's a slight difference between
these, but it's closer to nacorn squash, you know,
for me. Um.

>> Julianna (33:29):
Oh, okay.

>> (33:30):
Yeah. It's, uh. It's just that pumpkin itself is,
I don't know, not. Not. This, um. This has a touch
of bitterness that I would probably associate, you
know, a lot. A lot more with acorn squash.

>> Julianna (33:44):
Okay. So it's a headless acorn.

>> Dave (33:47):
Squash. Squash.

>> (33:49):
Oh, uh, man, that is not good. Um, I was thinking
about. So I make a dish, uh, that is grilled, uh,
pork chops, uh, that has, uh, that sits in a, um,
apple uh, marinade, uh, overnight. Yes, I've made
it a lot. I've probably made that dish 40, 50

(34:09):
times.

>> Dave (34:10):
Pork and apple is a very good combo.

>> Julianna (34:11):
Goes very well together.

>> (34:12):
Um, and you just use, you know, a frozen
concentrate, you know, apple juice when you're
making that. But there are other spices that you
put in it as well. Um, pumpkin pie spices. Um,
there are some baking spices that you put in that.
I'm thinking that this would be a good substitute
for using that apple concentrate, um, has a very

(34:34):
similar flavor characteristic. So if you drink a
half a can of this and go, I wonder what I'm going
to do with the rest of the pack because I don't
like that. Boom. There you go.

>> Dave (34:42):
You know, I think that's a great approach to this.

>> (34:45):
Pork chops in a Ziploc bag filled out with a can
of this and, and maybe some uh, rosemary and some
thyme. I think you're, you think you're headed
down.

>> Julianna (34:54):
Call it a day.

>> (34:55):
Yeah, call it a day. Let it marinate overnight,
throw them on the grill. You know, invite three of
your least favorite friends and see what they say.

>> Dave (35:03):
No, I think that's good. I think, um, kind of like
with the last one like that sinful with two in
apple. Uh, m. You know how, you know, you make
like a beer can chicken?

>> (35:15):
Mhm.

>> Dave (35:16):
I think you could use like one of these for, for,
for that, like that, that cinnamon apple maybe, or
even this one just to do like a beer can chicken
or something on the grill. I think you would get
some nice, like, uh, like some, some nice semi
apple flavors going into it. I think it would be

(35:37):
kind of nice and you won't have to drink it. So
that's, that's the real.

>> Julianna (35:42):
Yeah, that's a plus. Sure.

>> Dave (35:44):
Now for the blood orange, I don't have an
alternate use for that one other than maybe
windshield wiper fluid replacement.

>> Julianna (35:53):
Oh yeah, sure. For the holidays.

>> Dave (35:56):
For the holidays. To make it fast.

>> Julianna (35:58):
Yeah.

>> (35:58):
Oh, why does that actually, why does that guy's
car smell like, you know, a high C fruit punch?

>> Dave (36:05):
It might be a good Halloween prank though. Like if
you put that in someone's uh, windshield wiper
reservoir and then like put some stuff all over
the windshield so when they hit it, this red spray
comes out. It'd be like a horror movie.

>> (36:18):
So Sticky. After three days, the wiper wouldn't
even move across, you know, the glass.

>> Julianna (36:22):
It wouldn't even, like, push out. It would get
clogged.

>> Dave (36:24):
Oh, it'd still be.

>> Julianna (36:25):
Yeah.

>> Dave (36:26):
Oh, I'm gonna do that. I know a certain dog.

>> (36:30):
Say, uh, which sibling are you going to?

>> Announcer (36:32):
Where?

>> Dave (36:33):
Oh, I was going to say, I know of a certain Dodge
Caravan that's very, uh, very close to me right
now. That certain person might need to use the
windshield wipers.

>> Julianna (36:45):
Oh, yeah. I'll make sure I warn them.

>> Dave (36:48):
Yes.

>> Julianna (36:48):
Yes.

>> (36:49):
Okay, well, I think let's rate this up first
before I move on. I'm sorry. Okay.

>> Dave (36:53):
M. You want to go ahead and get that middle finger
out there, Mike.

>> (36:56):
Yeah.

>> Julianna (36:57):
We're rating this A1 as well.

>> Dave (36:59):
Yeah.

>> Julianna (36:59):
Okay.

>> Dave (37:00):
So we had two ones and two twos. So if you add
this whole thing together, we had a six.

>> (37:08):
I think of these four best ever. These four. I
would go back and have the berry be wedged. Yeah,
that was the best one. Um, by far. That was the
best.

>> Julianna (37:18):
The berry Bewitched is the most realistic.

>> Dave (37:20):
What was your least favorite?

>> (37:22):
The pumpkin one that we just had.

>> Dave (37:24):
You like the pumpkin one less than the blood
orange.

>> (37:26):
Yes.

>> Dave (37:27):
Interesting.

>> (37:29):
Yeah, I just, uh.

>> Julianna (37:30):
Well, would you say it's the spices that kind of.

>> (37:32):
Yeah, I'm just. I don't like pumpkin beverages.

>> Dave (37:35):
They do give you some of that. They give me some
of that pumpkin beer show flashback that I. Oh, I
don't.

>> Julianna (37:44):
We're still trying to get over that.

>> Dave (37:45):
Right.

>> Julianna (37:46):
Well, that's too soon.

>> Dave (37:47):
A little p. P. S.D.

>> Julianna (37:50):
Yes.

>> (37:51):
Well, I look forward to trying to figure out what
part of the equation, uh, glows in the dark. I was
gonna say blows in the dark.

>> Dave (38:01):
This. That's a different show.

>> Julianna (38:08):
Mike.

>> Dave (38:09):
You gotta drink more than just a little cup of
this stuff.

>> (38:11):
So I'm gonna go into the closet, I'm gonna turn
the lights out, uh, and we're gonna see what
happens from there.

>> Dave (38:17):
Mike's gonna see which parts of his body glow in
the dark.

>> Julianna (38:21):
Yeah. And what will happen when he comes out of
the closet. Okay.

>> (38:25):
Why is my left hand glowing more in my right?

>> Julianna (38:27):

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
