Speaker 2 (05:14):
A lot of people refer to that as Saint Arnold
Scotch Toberfest.

It is, that's what they call it, Scotch Tobrafest. But
I still love this beer. It's it's one of my favorites.

It has a lot of characteristics of a Scottish style ale,
and well it is an ale and change is so
happy right now, he's smiling your face.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Your face chat was priceless, and I man, sometimes I
wish we were streaming so you could see in his
face and Bill's face. When I pulled up this beer,
I'm like, what So, I know this is radio so
you can't see it, but I'm pulling up a How
many ounce is this? I don't even know how many ounces?
This is a twenty four ounce can of Modello chilata

should be.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, we're gonna go back to Bill as soon as

thought it'd be fun if I just uh got the
reactions of Bill and Chad and which exactly how I it?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, you shocked the head.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I'm like, no, Chad just looked at you' like what
is wrong with this? Guy, no October Fest Saint Arnold
Brewing Company, which I'll break down here in a bit
after Chad lights us what they brought to the table.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Okay, so this is a this is this one's kind
of bittersweet for me to bring to the table because
college football season is back.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
It is.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
I was at Spartan Stadium and I was so excited.
I'm like, all right, once I get inside, it's time
for a Sparti party, Big Lake Brewing Company, Sparti Party,
New England style Hazy ipa. Because I was like, yes,
they're gonna have that in the stadium. And I walked
in and they didn't have it. No longer available in
Spartan Stadium. I know this is Sparti party and Hazy ipa.

(07:23):
So then I went and bought some and I tried
it the other day and either my taste buds were
off that day, or they've changed the recipe or something else.
I don't know what, but I got a bad can.
But I ended up dumping it out in the lake.
I was out in the lake and I was I'm
gonna take a sip here. You must had a bad can.
I mean, this isn't not terrible it's not no, yeah,

(07:47):
but it's very bitter. All right. Well, we're gonna talk
about that a little bit more in the dryness, and
that is that the Sparti Party Hazy IPA is what
I brought to the table, and.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
James, you brought the Octoberfest from Saint Arnold Brewing Company,
coined the scott Sobrafest. Brought the table thanks to our
friends over at the backyard grid. We'll break them down
right after this break. But coming up on this episode,
we're gonna talk about beer benefiting journalism. There's a brewery
offering free beer in a new promotion and I like
what they're doing. The Kelsey Brothers we got an update
on their garage beer all this is so much more.

The only thing we throw back on Thursday is a
pint of beer or two or three. This is what's
on tap Radio. Get back to James and Chad. All right,
everybody's got a beer.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
You got a beer. I got a beer. We got
a beer. You know who else has beer? The Backyard
Grill on the northwest side of Houston. But when you're drinking,
you want to have something to eat too, So go
get yourself some grub at the byg. The menu is amazing.
They've got all your Texas favorites like steaks, bahatas, chops,
and it's all grilled on a wood fired grill. You

got salads, they got soups, homemade dishes, and specialties like
smoky the beer chicken. Oh yeah, smoked chicken injected with
local beer. Sounds delicious, right yeah, And don't forget the
green beans. I know you're thinking, wait a minute, is
this guy just talking about all the grilled stuff and

(09:21):

get the green beans, trust me, you won't regret it,

Speaker 5 (09:33):
Shears got a new drump kit from my studio.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
First october Fest of the season, which I get it
the beer purist out there, technically Octoberfest, Jeeps.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Technically, James, you haven't had your first october Fest of
the year.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Oh, I love this joke. It's so you know, here's
the thing.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
There's four people. There's four people that are actually saying
something about it, and one of them's on the show.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Welcome back to What's on Tap Radio. First segment, brought
to the Table, brought to you by our friends at
the Backyard Grill on the northwest side of Houston, and
we're recapping the beers that we cracked open. James brought
from Saint Arnold Brewing Company, the award winning Octoberfest. Now,
I don't and don't quote me on this if I'm wrong.

(10:46):
I'm willing Tom. I'm using inductive reasoning. I don't have
enough information, but I do know, and I know a
little bit. That beer has won awards. It has multiple
times in the Scottish Style Al Beer category.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Silver Medal, Great American Beer Festival Scottish Style Al twenty ten,
Bronze Medal, Great American Beer Festival, Scottish Aale two thousand
and one bronze Medal, Grand American Beer Festival, Scottishale, your
two thousand silver medal, World Beer Championship, october Fest nineteen
ninety eight.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Okay, there it is all right. In nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, nineteen ninety eight, this was oh wow, World Beer Championship.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Okay, so I was gonna say, I'm not sure this
this beer has ever won an award as an october Fest.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
But we were at the Great American Beer Festival when
they picked up the silver and twenty eighteen I remember,
and we were sitting yeah too far.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
You were there.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, so again you know. Okay, Scottchtoberfest. I don't care
come at me, but I'm enjoying.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
It coming out. I'm just messing with you because I
think it's funny. I love it. In fact, I don't think.
I don't think Brock Wagner cares either. By the way,
Ros's our first name.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Drop Brock does not care whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
And you keep buying it, drinking it.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
But I mean you at the mouthfeel of an october Fest.
You have the breadiness of an october Fest. I mean
the color, the aroma. But yeah, technically at scottis Shale
but still delicious. Let me go and take a sip
of this.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Is a rose by any other name? Not taste as sweetened?
Oh wait, I mean smell is sweet.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Full bodied, just what I like. It's malty, slightly sweet,
just celebrating the autumn harvest. I mean it's rich beer,
full round malt flavor, and again at six point six
percent alcohol by volume. And this is the Octoberfest from
Saint Arna Brewing Company.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
I like the yin and yang that we're bringing to
the table here with beers because you just talk full bodied,
robust mouth feel little sweetness. I mean a great beer
award winning beer. I brought a beer that I couldn't
get at Spartan Stadium and kind of pissed about it,
But after tasting it, whenever I got home, I was like,
I'm glad I didn't spend fourteen dollars on a can

(12:51):
of it. And as I'm drinking it right now, Bill,
I'm gonna want Bill, I want to give me your
assessment on this beer. Go the Harbor Light Bill here
on third Mic, tell us what you.

Speaker 6 (13:01):
Think, thanks, Chad. No, it tastes really good. I think
it's got a real uh citrusy notes to it. It's
got that classic Hazy flavor, good mouthfield, kind of bitter,
uh not very sweet, but uh so I enjoy it.
To dou sy Hazy, it's time for a little sparty party.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
One of us is wrong, because I'm gonna go, like,
if he's right, I'm just gonna go cut my tongue out.
I said my taste buds were off something.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
So they used to sell this beer at Spartan Stadium.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Spartan Stadium. Yeah, and I've had it before and I
really liked it.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
So did they just sell out of it or they
just know they No?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
I got inside and we got in line. There was
none of it. There was no sign for it. Nothing.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I feel like you need to investigate, put your investigation
journalism hat on and go out.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
There, and I'm gonna be I'm gonna be cracking some skulls,
especially as a season ticket holder. I'm donor here. I'm like, hey,
I pay for these seats. I want a sparty party,
but I'm not gonna lie. I it had as all
of the appearances of a Hazy IPA, but I get
this very harsh sharpness and bitterness, almost not as stringent,

(14:09):
but man, it is sharp on the tongue. It's bitter.
I'm not getting I'm not getting the citrus. It's to me,
it's thin. And I loved this beer. Now I could
be completely wrong because I had another IPA the other
day and it didn't taste right to me. So I

(14:30):
may need to recalibrate my taste buds. And we talked
about this on the show before. Our taste buds change
over time. I haven't had this beer in a year,
so it could be. You know, I'm sitting here saying
maybe maybe the flavor profiles changed. Maybe it's just me,
but you know what, with changing taste buds, that may
affect how we feel about maybe other things in life,

(14:51):
like maybe the upcoming election.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Now the official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of
the Week it brought to you by Who's ever checked Clear?

Speaker 2 (14:59):
This week, are.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Going to get political on this episode because we have
some news from the political world and balls beer.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
I like that, James, We've been working together a long time.
That was called a perfect catch YEP on that toss.
All right, folks, right now, we're a divided nation here
in the United States. You know, Kamala Harris, Donald Trump,
who do you want who do you hate? Who do
you hate more? Who do you love? Who's going to
keep their promises? I'll help you out. None of them. Okay,

(15:28):
they're not going to keep their promises, all right. I
don't care who you vote for, unless maybe you vote
for an independent candidate a third party. Now we've had
the greet. Oh yeah, I like James over there. He's like,
I'm voting for mister underdog. He's not trying to he's
not trying to cancel out anybody's vote. He's just going

(15:50):
for the other other guy or gal.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
I don't know he or she is, but they got
my vote.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Right, The Green Party. There's all these other parties out there,
the Just Independent Party, the Freemasons, I don't know whoever
else is running whatever. But I saw a shirt and
it said beer and Barbecue twenty twenty four, and I'm like,
I could vote for this. Maybe there's some traction. Well,

(16:16):
ladies and gentlemen, your official once on Tap Radio fun
fact of the Week is maybe not in my lifetime,
but maybe in yours, you may actually see beer win
an election. And I know you're thinking, you're like, wait
a minute, this is fun fact.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
I kind of have an idea where you're going with this,
but I'm not one hundred percent sure you're pontificating.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Well, ladies and gentlemen. In Austria, we have mentioned before
that there is an official beer party, and then I
looked into it. The Beer Party of Austria was founded
by I love this name guy by the name of
Marco Pogo and he is the lead singer of a
punk rock band called Turbo Beer and he started he

(17:00):
started a satirical election back in twenty fifteen, and he's
participated in three different elections and in twenty nineteen he
got point one percent of the overall vote. In twenty twenty,
the year that we won't mention. Sorry, I'm sorry I
almost said it, but maybe I did. But that year

(17:21):
you won't Mention went from point one percent to two percent.
And in twenty twenty two, eight percent of the overall
vote went to the Beer Party and it's anticipated to
be in double digits this year and they're running on
the campaign promise of a monthly beer allotment for every
household and public beer fountains. I love this idea. I mean,

(17:43):
I never want to drink from one of those dirty
water fountains, but drink from a beer fountain.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Well, why not.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
I'll give it a shot. I'll give it a whirl.
So we may see beer win an election. But before
the Beer Party in Austria could win, or beer and
barbecue could win here in the United States, we need
to give it up for the trailblazers, the people who
really got it started in Checchia, there was a beer

(18:11):
party that did not manage to win anything, but they
at least started the movement, followed by in nineteen ninety one,
your official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of the
week In Poland, the Polish Beer Lover's Party of nineteen
ninety one won three percent of the overall vote and
took sixteen seats in the federal government. Unfortunately, they were

(18:37):
divided over oh silly things like oh, it's not a
session IPA, it's just a pailot. No, they didn't fight
over that us. No, they did split and they argued
over a lot of different things. And the Polish Beer
Lovers Party, which took sixteen seats in the nineteen ninety

(18:57):
one election, does so again. Your official What's on Tap
Radio Fun fact of the week is beer may win
an election here in the United States someday. And we
have our forefathers of Poland, the Polish Beer Lovers Party
in nineteen ninety one, which was the first official beer
party to win anything in an election, which took sixteen
seats in the federal government. That's your official What's on

(19:18):
Tap Radio fund.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Back to the week, very good fun facts. Speaking of politics,
coming up, we got an update on the Conservative beer
remember that they're showcasing Trump's reaction after being shot at Yep,
we got an update on that story. All this is
so much more. Hang with us, We'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
After reading about the evils of drinking, we made up
our mind we're gonna stop reading. What's on Tap Radio
continues with James Simpson and Chad Pilbeam.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
It's wild just how fast this year is flying by.
That's flown by. Excuse me, I mean we're already in
pumpkin spice latte season. I saw them selling Halloween decorations,
the Halloween candies on the shelves and in my glass
from Saint Brewing Company Brood for the fall October Fest

(20:23):
full bodied multi Scotch toberfests, which Chad says, three.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
People I just say it to get a rise. Don't
worry about that, okay, can I Yeah, look at you,
you just you got that look of satisfaction. You're like,
oh so good.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
So I was talking to Brian holsing about this good
buddy of bars name Drop, and we were talking about
the fact that when you know, I go on TV
and I bring these october Fest beers and saying on
Octoberfest being a Scotchtoberfest, a Scottish style, not a typical Marsin.
But the thing is, it looks so damn good on TV.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
It's a beautiful beer.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Everything about it is great, amazing, And look, I'm not
getting paid by Saint Arnold to endorse this beer whatsoever.
I'm just a huge fan of it. And so yeah,
I'll continue drinking it throughout the entire october Fest season.
But don't worry. I got plenty more, plenty more I'll
be bringing to the table for the next few months.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
And I want to I want to address that real quick,
because anytime we get a beer that we don't particularly
care for, like in this particular case, I loved this
big Lake sparty party beer last year and this year
I don't. And I was telling Harbor light Bill here
during the break, I think I know what happened, and
fire Marshall, Matt, He's going to be very excited to
hear this, so oh yeah, to get that name drop in,
he's gonna be I don't think I like ip as anymore. Oh,

(21:46):
I think, yeah, I think I'm done. I had a
centennial I pa from Founder's Brewing, which is just a
fantastic and it was fresh too, and I taste it.
I'm like, this doesn't taste right. I don't like it,
Like I don't. I felt like a little cut, you
know when you know, sitting there at the dinner table, like,
oh like game and I And so my goal is

(22:07):
to see if I can get back on that wagon
here or off that wagon or whatever. The wagon I
don't I don't know how that met the metaphor works,
but change wagon, change wagon. Well, the good news is
we're gonna change something up and try and recalibrate my
palette because harber light Bill brought in a cooler beer,
and in the spirit of James being able to have
his first october Fest, we're gonna have the first october
Fest of the show. Because he's had a Scottish style

(22:30):
ale and we're gonna go Bill tell everybody what we're drinking.

Speaker 6 (22:36):
Well, brought the october Fest Limited Edition october Fest Lager
from Toppling Deliah Brewing out.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
There in Iowa, Iowa. Wow, I'm sure everybody in kyokok
they're in Iowa.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, Iowa.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, oh wow. That is Yeah. That's that's good beer
that's got the right amount of sweetness to it but
finishes super clean. Logger malty, yeah, biscuity, Yeah. Yeah. It's
a gold golden color. Yeah, gold gold color and it's
not it's not yellow, it's gold and it's yeah, delicious.

(23:15):
I like it a lot. That's that's stretch that scratches
right where I itch man. So all right, we're gonna
The goal is to see if I can get an
I p A I fall in love with before the
end of the show. Hopefully there's one in the fridge.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
If that was it's funny you mentioned that shot. I
was listening to this podcast the other day and I
can't remember the name of the podcast for the life
of me, but the guy was talking about how as
he's gotten older, he used to drink all I pas.
It's all he used to drink, and he says that
he just can't, he can't drink him anymore. So he's
been just so who knows, he's been drinking a lot
of quads lately, a lot of these dark fruit beers.

(23:48):
And he says he'll gravitate back to I p As,
but he just says, you know, it just doesn't do
it for him anymore.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
So we kicked things off again with a big Lake
Brewing sparty party and hazy I p A. Bill He's like,
he's just described. He's like, yeah, citrus notes and you know,
it's got the mouthfeel what you're looking for in a hazy.
And I'm like, yeah, I am just getting none of that.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
It's not the best hazy I've ever had, but it's
not palatable.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
But Bill's giving it. Bill. Bill's drinking over there, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Like, I can't.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
I don't even want it. And it's just because I
think my flavor profile may have changed right here on
the show. Well this week it just changed on me.
Flipped done.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
All right, We'll tune in next week to Steve Chad's
palate verse back to its old ways.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
My my bitterness units on my tongue. They went on
strike or something, you know, I don't know, they file
for witness protection or like, you've been drinking too many
IPAs on this show. It's time for you to drink
something multi all right, James. We tried not to get
too political on this show, but every once in a while.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
We're in political season, we have to dive into politics.
It's everywhere we look. It's there, it's here, it's everywhere.
It's hard to stay away from it. What we're gonna
do our best is stay on, you know, unbiased. We're
gonna be objective as journalists that like we are. But uh,
I got the update. We got to talk about the

(25:12):
Conservative ultra right beer because remember we broke the story
a few weeks ago how they unveiled their beer can
showcasing Donald Trump's fist pump after being newly assassinated.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, he shot in the ear shot here, Yeah, and
he's fist up in the air like yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
So they sold this can of beer called you know
fight was the the can name. Well, they have an
update that the sales of the beer has surpassed one
million dollars.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
No one knows what the beer tastes like, so what.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
They're gonna do with this million dollars is they're gonna
be donating it to the campaign. And according to the
CEO Seth Weathers of Conservative Dad's Ultra Right Beer, he
said in a press release, just a month ago, former
President Donald Trump nearly escaped death in assassination timp a
story the liberal media has just already swept under the rug.

(26:09):
We're here to ensure this moment was never forgotten as
we head into the most important election of our lifetime.
In every election, the most important election of our lifetime, just.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Like every state is the great state of Nobody ever
says the mediocre state of North Dakota. It's always the
great state of the great State of and from the
great state of Island, state of Rhode Island, no one
ever says from the smallest state in the Union. No,
it's all great states.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Prominence, Rhode Island. But now they announced that the limited
edition can has surpassed one million dollars in sales and
they're donating twenty five thousand dollars of it to the
Trump campaign.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Wait a minute, wait, hold on, a million dollars in
sales and twenty five thousand dollars of that is going
to the Trump campaign. Yeah, man, you want to talk
about Man, that is some click bait.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
We that is some good, good trolling right there. We
got a million dollars and we're gonna donate to Trump.
Oh really, they're giving a million dollars to Trump. No,
it's only twenty.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Five greats, just twenty five thousand, although I mean twenty
five thousand is still a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
It still is. But all right, and I want to
say this. We've talked about this before in too many years.
We've talked about this. Should breweries get involved in politics?

Speaker 1 (27:25):
And we have a brewer.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
I'm gonna put them on the spot. We have a
brewer in the room. Harvard light Bill, do you have
two breweries that you are part owner in? And that
is Harvard Lighte Brewery in also Oakstown Bury. Do either
one of your breweries openly get involved with politics? And
have you discussed whether or not you want to do it?

Speaker 6 (27:44):
No, we are not in any type of politics or
any other political issues. Social issues okay, no social shoes, Nope,
And we have no desire to everyone's welcome.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Doesn't matter who.

Speaker 6 (27:56):
You are, what you are, and uh, just by being
something or not doesn't mean that we'll turn you away
or anything like that. You're always welcome, everyone's always welcome,
but we don't want to get involved in.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
That, all right, So to avoid alienating anybody, you're you're Switzerland,
all right, cool? Remember being Switzerland is offensive all of
a sudden.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Remember what year was it? Twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, we
did a whole piece on politics and beer, and I'll
never forget. We interviewed Bob Pas at the Brewer Association
and I asked him straight up do politics belong in beer?
And his answer absolutely, I.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Remember, and I was like, whoa, whoa? I know, I
was blown away. I was like, did he really just
say that?

Speaker 1 (28:43):
I went on and on and he was like, you know,
breweries need to stand behind their politics and be social
justice warriors. I'm thinking, like what I know.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
I was like, you're going to alienate a huge part
of your audience and doing that. But here's something I
want to point out with this and only occurred to
me in our production meeting today when we were talking
about this story. But this conservative dad beer, the ultra
right beer or whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Sorry, yeah, it's okay.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
I know you gotta get that in all right, but
this is I know this is not gonna be popular.
Somebody's gonna yellp me for saying this. But this is
really more of a political company than it is a brewery.
It is they outsource everything for production, they outsource things
for marketing, They outs I mean, they are a company

(29:37):
that owns the brand and outsource all of that. But
they're doing it for political reasons. They're not. Again, nobody
knows what this. I don't know what the beer. I
hear no one talking about the beer. They're talking about
the can, the label, the cause, the movement. And I
mean it's great if it inspires that and that's what
you're looking for. But we've said, you know years playing

(30:00):
a dangerous game when you put politics in your beer. Well,
this I think is just putting beer into the politics.
This is the other way around, exactly right.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
And some breweries, this is that's their whole Niche is politics.
Not just a brewery that like, oh we're a brewery,
but we're gonna back this party. Now there's breweries out
there that that is their thing. They're backing a candidate. Hey,
best look, we hope you make a million dollars. And
they did. They make.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Twenty five thousand.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah again, twenty five Thousandwight. All right, we gotta take
a break speaking of politics and beer. We gotta talk
about the hull coking beer because it went airborne. I
can win airborne and you got to hear where it landed.
Uh oh, all, this is so much more. Hang with us.
We'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yeah, we drink water, but it has to be filtered
through a brewery. First. You've got What's on Tap.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Radio, Superior Pest Control of West Michigan, Superior Pest dot Biz.
They are sponsors of the research department here at What's
on Tap Radio making sure that we have all this
awesome content. Give them a call or reach out to
them at Superior Pest dot Biz.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
All right, continuing our political segments. You dis missed the conversation,
we'll leave.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Please don't leave. I know we're talking politics.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Talking about the ultra right beer, supposedly this fight beer
with Trump pumping his fists in the air after the
assassination attempts. Sales of that beer surpassed a million dollars
and are donating twenty five thousand dollars of that to
the campaign.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Now, yeah, I do want to specify. I was a
little I was a little snarky about a million dollars
and of the million they're given twenty five thousand away.
You do have to remember they have a company to run,
or an office anyway, and marketing company to pay, and
a contract brewer to pay. So they didn't net a
million dollars. That's what they generated revenue. So then they
got to pay their bills. And then after all that

(32:02):
said and done, it's like, all right, we'll right check
for twenty five grand. But as I said, this is
a political company that is just using beer. It's not
a brewery that's gotten into politics.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
So there's a big difference, big difference. Yes, we're established brewery,
we've been around for ten years, and all of a sudden,
we want to throw our money at a campaign that's different.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Circle brewery.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Oh yeah, circle brewery that gets on stage with their
flag vote for Beto?

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Uh huh yeah, we know. We're we want people to
just vote for the candidate that they want. It's like, so,
why didn't you come out with a uh I'm trying
to remember who was runn against Beto that year.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Oh it is Ted Cruise, Yeah, Ted Cruise, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, it's like, hey, you can have to do a
Ted Cruz beer and crickets. We got nothing of that.
And then when they won an award at the Great
American Beer Festival and they got up on the stage,
you get their picture taken, they undid their shirt and
said vote for Beto and.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
They had the flag. They had the flag.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah, so it was funny.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
I was at my local beer retailer the other day.
I was looking for Circle Brewing and I couldn't find it.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yeah, I don't know what happened. Yeah, but they were
completely neutral in the political that we just want people
to vote Beard.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
That's uh. You know, they have their stance behind Trump
the Holkster, the Holkster.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
That's right. What are you gonna do, brother, when real
American beer comes for you.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Did you see that video of him? He was at
the RNC and he just rips his shirt off and
it says Trump twitch.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Oh geez. I was just I was like, man, we
have hit the We are idiocracy. I mean seriously, I mean,
Hector Alessondo, Macho, Mountain Dew Camacho, whatever the heck, he
is the president of idiocracy. I'm like, we are there.
This is so all right, anyway, Well the Halkster he's

(33:53):
on tour, and he is out on his seventeen state tour.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Really is man?

Speaker 2 (33:57):
I see, Oh, he's everywhere.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
He pops up on my feed. I don't know, I
guess because we talk about him. My phone's listening. But
I'll see videos of him at like Walmart and across
the Americas.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
That's fun. You know, he's out. But he's out there
doing it out for a guy who doesn't drink guy
who doesn't drink beer, he's doing a great job promoting it.
His easy drinking light beer, real American beer. And he's
a seventeen state tour. He's out there doing and while
doing the promos, he's going into grocery stores, he's out
doing events with musicians, and he's having a good old time. Well,

(34:34):
he was in Medina Township just outside of Akron, Ohio,
where he was there and he decides, Hey, you know
what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go ahead and toss
some cans out to some fine folks enjoy because I mean,
he's not gonna drink them. He doesn't drink beer. Folks
just find it funny. And so he starts tossing beers
all around, and well one of those beer can cans

(34:56):
came in like an atomic leg drop from the hawks.
He himself boom right.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
On her head. Baby, was like Tom Brady, just like one.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Two three, boom. It's over.

Speaker 8 (35:08):
The Holkster's one real American beer for the victory. And
a fifty year old woman is down with nine stitches
to her head after the Halkster baseball pitched her one
of his spiers and hit her right in the head.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Through was it? What's that?

Speaker 2 (35:28):
It wasn't him that through? It wasn't no, I think
he was. He was tossing beers out. Yeah, he was tossing. Yeah,
according to witnesses and others who uh gave report to
the officers on the scene, they said that I was
a crew member that was throwing out. So he was
throwing apparently he was throwing some beers, but it was
one of his crew that threw this one as like
a baseball pitch like here catch and just and anyway,

(35:53):
there was there was, you know, a conflicting account of
what really happened. So they didn't have any arrests, but
the wan got treatment for injury, got their nine stitches and.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Now and now she's a rifle owner of Hulkkan Beer.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Oh my gosh. So yeah, media promotions and beer promotions
gone awry in Ohio where Real American Beer knocks out
one of the potential beer drinkers and Real American Beer
gets the win and then fifty year old woman gets
nine stitches.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Yeah that's bad pr.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Will they say all press? You know what is it?
All press is good press? Or you know is it though?

Speaker 1 (36:40):
It? Though?

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
It's like, I feel like this is not the first
story the Hulkster Beer has got themselves in some trouble.
I remember there's another story where.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
By the way, that story went away really fast I
want to talk about.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
I mean, they pay a lot of money to get
this stuff swept under the rug.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Yeah, I mean I've seen cold fronts hang around longer.
I mean that story, it's like, Okay, woman claims she
was discriminated against and fired after doing immediate promotion in
a store with Hulk Hogan and she just so happened
to be black. So she went on social media said
she was fired because of her race, and she was

(37:16):
filing in a lawsuit and then we heard nothing else
that was all over the place.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Hub wasn't one of those scenes where she gets in
her car and there's a guy in a suit behind
her with a rope and just as she starts her
car and starts strangling her like a scene out of
The Godfather.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Be quiet, don't you say anything?

Speaker 1 (37:36):
I hope that. Yeah, I don't. Again, that's another beer.
I haven't had the Hulkster beer, but I've had a
listener reach out to us said that they saw it
at the local Walmart. Again, I don't really shop at Walmart.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Did he give you a photograph? No, no pictures or
it never happened.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
That's that's true.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
That's true because I mean, listen, let's be honest. You
can't doctor photos.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
So, yeah, you can't. Well, there's a lot ording to
the Photoshop Act of eighteen twelve that if you photoshop something,
and yeah, you can't do it right.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
You know, if you photoshop something for the purposes of
trying to deceive a radio host, it's against the law.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Yeah, a corney too.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah. After Abraham Lincoln said.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yep, I know it's Martin Luther King. Sorry. Speaking of
contract brewing in Ohio, let's talk about the Kelsey brothers.
Remember we talked about the Kelsey brothers. They got this
garage beer that they're gonna have their personal brand.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
And if they don't, if you don't know who the
Kelsey brothers are, they are these football play Well one
was a retired football player from Philadelphia Eagles. The other
one tight end. Who's gonna beat marrying Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yes, Travis Kelson.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Basically got Taylor Swift's career on track.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Basically, yes, that's exactly right. But they're looking for some
local breweries in Michigan to potentially be the leading contract
brewery of their star football players beer brand, garage beer.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Bill's got his hand up in the air. He's like,
pick me.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Well, there are rumors. Rumors came out at Kelsey bro
announced that they had signed something with Founders Brewing, but
that turned out just to be a rumor. But the
operators of the Ohio based business, which is in their
home states, they initially announced that yeah, Founders Brewing and
Grand Rapids was to tap to become the contract brewer

(39:18):
of the brand, according to filings of the US Department
of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Say that again. Wow, make an acronym out of that one, But.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
The director of communications for Founders its parent company, mahu Usa,
said that no, there has nothing been finalized with the
garage Beer yet, but the regarding garage Beers, nothing's informalized
yet and they're not ready to share any more info
at this time. But the team of Founders founded a
bit frustrating with the leak from other media outlets and
hopes to continue to be on the radar with the

(39:51):
Kelsey Brothers brand and future interests. So, yeah, they're eyeing
Founders Brewing Company, but it's not official yet. Bill reach
out to them.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, it might be a little more than we can brew.
Hold on it a second, just to be clear here, all right,
So we've got a media request we're making to a
conservative dad to get some of that beer because we
don't know what it tastes like. Exist for the Hulk
Hogan beer too, because we don't know that that exists,
and we want to try that. And we got a
media request going out for Bill going out to say, hey,

(40:23):
we found a brewery to partner with in Michigan.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Yeah, Harbor Lighte will make garage beard.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
You making garage beer good again. That's right. How many
barrels at a time? Five barrels out of the top.

Speaker 8 (40:36):
That's not a lot, all right, especially this weekn brew
twice a week.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
All right, all right, hold my bed and watched this week.
This is an interesting one. I know the bathroom lines
at concerts are long, but you just can't do this.
You can't do it. A Rhode Island cop got arrested.
You heard me right. A Rhode Island cop got arrested
at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts one Saturday for peeing on

(45:33):
a random woman's cowboy boots at a Kenny Chesney concerto.
And his name was Shane Lynch and he wasn't a
non duty at the time. He's just can you Chesney fan?
Just at the concert and enjoy himself. And they were
both standing in the pits by the stage when the
woman felt a warm liquid hit her leg, turned around

(45:54):
and saw Shane with a zipper down and in one
hand he had a bud lights and the other hand
he had his junk so one.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
So I really thought you were gonna say his name
was was Hank, And I was like a Rhode Island
police officer. I'm like me myself, an irene. Please tell
me his name is Hank. Please tell me his name
is Hank. Or Charlie, even Charlie. I'll take Charlie.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
That would have been a lot better if it was.
It would have been but yeah, he had a bud
light in one hand and his junk in the other.
Security described him as extremely intoxicated and he was swaying
back and forth. Have you have you ever been that
drunk where you're peeing and you're just like, oh, you're
just rocking back and forth. It's been a long time.
But his pants were wet and his eyes were almost closed.

(46:38):
I've been in there before. I've been there, but in
my own home, not at a concert. So they pulled
him off to the side, and while they were talking
with him, he started peeing again. Yeah, this guy really
had to go.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
He got arrested with the seal.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Yeah, that's what happened. Apparently he got arrested for disorderly conduct,
but his case was dismissed after he agreed to pay
hundred dollars in court cost. He must know somebody, He
must know somebody. Uh. The woman he peed on said,
our boots cost one hundred and eighty dollars and smell
like urine and we're no longer wearable. And it's not

(47:14):
clear if you'll have to pay her back for those boots,
but he should. He should, the Chief of the police
at the department in Cranston, Rhode Island, said, and investigation
is underway, adding that all officers know that they are
held to a higher standard even when they're not on
duty because you're always representing the badge even when you're

(47:34):
not on duty. So you're hold my beer and watch
this this week presented by our friends over at We
Know Tenhegen Insurance Group. A drunk officer pede on a
woman's boot at a Kenny Chesney concert.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yep, maybe it was a big crowd and I'm thinking
that happened. He worked his way up to the front
of the stage and he's like, man, if I if
I go out to go to the bathroom, I'm not
getting back here.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Yep, I'll I'll never forget. I used to hang out
with this Danish guy in college. He was a rugby player.
This guy was massively huge, and one day we're at
the bar and I look over and he's bellied up
to the bar, standing up, standing up for this and
I look down on the ground and between his legs
coming behind him as a puddle, this guy was straight

(48:19):
up urinating on the bar and then act like nothing,
zipped up his pants, ordered beer, and made him way
off to a table. I thought that was a crazy
damn thing I ever saw it.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Well, you know, old town, old time saloons, they used
to have that trough there underneath the bar, and you
didn't have to leave. You just stay there and keep
drinking and just whip it out and pee right there.
And I don't know how that worked for the ladies.
Maybe you know at the saloon, but I don't know.
I've seen these also videos where Taylor Swift fans are
wearing diapers, right, they don't miss any of the shows. Well,

(48:53):
what about these folks at the end they were an
adult diaper so that they don't miss the show.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
What about these folks that are in New York City
at Time Square for the ball drop and they get
there at seven to the morning. They can't move because
they'll lose their place in line. That's your hold my
beer and watched this this week? Folks, we're a diaper.
If I guess you're doing that, all right, we gotta
take a break, so to come. Is Billy Joel's piano
man really about a gay bar? And speaking of bars,
let's talk about cheers, all, this is so much more.

(49:16):
Hang with us, much more to get to. We'll be
right back.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
And the teacher said, no, Bobby, there's no such time
as bureau clock. Fire that teacher. This is what's on
Tap Radio.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
I'm an knock on our door. We've been waiting for you.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
All right, welcome back to What's on tab d You're
about to dive into our seventies and eighties sitcom segments.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
By the way, I will write copy for that every week.
If you sponsor, I swear I will dive into the
archives of sitcoms and I will find every single beer
reference and I will tie it back I will apply
beer logic. And by the way, beer logic conferences and events,
people still ask me how often I'm doing that. It's
not very often anymore. I still go out on occasional

(50:38):
speaking tours. But yeah, the whole point of beer logic
is everything I ever need to know I learned from beer.
And if you have a topic, we can make it
relatable to beer. And so if you don't think I
can come up with enough content for a seventies and
eighties sitcom segment of this show, you haven't been listening
for the last eleven years, Well, I've only been for

(51:00):
the last nine years, eight and a half years, So
long enough, that's right, you can do this. Yeah. So,
by the way, we got another beer to open up
because that art car that bill finished, because I I
let him have that bill. Tell everybody what you got
out of the cooler.

Speaker 6 (51:16):
Oh, dogfish had stout Dogfish head worldwide stout.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Oh that's a good one and a.

Speaker 6 (51:24):
Half percent, though, so it's a little hefty.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Now, this is not the Utopias one. No, this is
regular worldwide. So this, at one point in time, at
fifteen percent, was the strongest beer in the world at
one point in time. Oh that's got a really nice
It's got some liquorice notes actually to it, and some
dark chocolate.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
You know what. I want to pour a beer. I
want to crack a beer. I'm done with my October
Fest from stating on a brewing company brewed for fall
full body. That's little malty Scotch sober Fest. According to
Chad in the first segment, brought the table thanks to
our friends over the backyard grill. James go, all right,
so I like where Bill was going, and then there
was Chad who had to ruin it all. You know,

(52:04):
It's like, man, what a nice day it's gonna ride.
But in my fridge, Bill in my fridge, I always
got it too. I always got an our car. So
I'm gonna go and crack this. Now this doesn't count.
We're not bringing the same beer to the table because
it brought to the table. We don't know what beers
we're bringing. But I always have our car in my

(52:25):
fridge because it is one of my favorite I pas
of all time.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
And for eighteen dollars you can get one too. It
had minute made park.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Oh you want to Oh okay, let me get into this.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Side notes not even knowing I opened it. Oh, let's go, James.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
So last weekend, Oh my god, we're getting on a
tangent here.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
This has nothing to do with sitcoms, by the way,
Well we're.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
About to get into sitcoms. But let me go on
a rant real quick because I have a microphone and
I'm gonna do it. Anyways, the other night, we go
out some friends of ours to a place called the Post.
And the Post is this old Houston Post where they
used to do the Houston Post News in Newston in
one of our newspapers, but it went away. But they
had this really cool green space on the top and

(53:07):
it's a great view. They do concerts and all sorts
of things. So we want some friends of ours and
we went to see a band play. It was a
nineties band, really good band. And so I went to
go grab a beer and I ordered an art Car
fifteen dollars, Chad, fifteen dollars for a twelve ounce can
of art Car. No, yes, talk about sticker shock. No,

(53:31):
not even a sixteen ounce can a twelve ounce can.
Guess how many beers I had that one?

Speaker 3 (53:38):
Just one?

Speaker 2 (53:39):
You got me once?

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Yeah? Not again? So I ordered two drinks, and my
bill was thirty seven dollars or two drinks.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
This right here, this could be the content for a sitcom.
We could do a sitcom off of this show about nothing. Yeah,
which talking So.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
I'm a price beer speaking of that, I paid the
fifteen dollars because I'm a huge fan of this beer
and hurt and hurt because I mean, in fifteen dollars
I get two six packs of these.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
I ain't just say it's a better deal at minute made.
Actually I know it really is.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
But I have to disagree with you, Chad. This beer
tastes just as amazing as Bill described it.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
I said the problems with me, Chad.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
I heard what you said. I heard you said this
beer is garbage. Throw it away now.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
It never said that, you liar man. So much for
integrity and journalism. You suck right now, and as a
co host, you really suck. You throw me under a
bus and you're driving it. I don't know how you
can throw me in front of the same bus that
you're driving.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Back it up, book, let me back it up. Beep
beep beep.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Anyways, and you're holding me down while you're still running
in reverse. I don't know how that works. But anyways,
just for something happened, guys, if you're just now tuning in,
my taste buds flipped and for some reason I have
not been able to enjoy an IPA in several days.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
And meanwhile, far Marshall magicst emailed them and said, hey,
next beer's on me.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Welcome to the club.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
All right, Marmustion, Matt doesn't like ips either. All right,
let's get back to our eighty sitcom sponsor. I mean
we don't have sponsor.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Yet, but hey, sure we don't have it.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
It's you, but hey, if you want to sponsor it,
let's go. But a few weeks ago, we were talking
about pub crawls and speaking of pub crawl saying, Arnold
us to have these great pub crawls, but I'm liking
this one. And if this was in my area, I'd
be totally down for this. But this happened in Canada.
I'm not exactly sure where in Canada had happened, but
more than one hundred.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Chat Come on, James, it's rip and read let's hear it.
Where where is it?

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Newfoundland?

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Newfoundland? Okay? That work ish, all right? In Newfoundland, new.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Foundland, Canada. More than one hundred threes company fans dressed
up as Missus Roper for a pub crawl.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
What go dress it up as missus Roper. I love it.
That is gold old.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
Oh and if you want to send me a T shirt,
I mean more happy to give you my address working
from Newfoundland, Newfoundland.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Yes, Newfoundland, Canada. And if you want to send a Newfoundland.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
Newland, sure, James. It's kind of my stick. Character just
near the show is kind of if you're just near
the show, it's kind of my stick.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
All right, mispronouncing city names Newfoundland, Newfoundland, Canada.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
The found Land, Canadia. Uh that's a that's at James
and Radio by the way.

Speaker 6 (56:29):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Yeah, more than one hundred three's company fans dressed up
as Missus Roper for a pub crawl.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
So that's a pub crawl I want to go on.
I would dress up as Missus Roper and I would
be very comfortable in my own skin and in the
moo mooo. How far is it between bars though and Newfoundland.
It seems like they're few and far between.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
I don't know. But here's a pub crawl organizer and
attendee talking about the ban let's uh run thing. That's
cut six.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
A lot of people driving past us with their windows
down and their video their phones up so that they
can record us as we were going.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Why it was fun. It was a spectacle for sure.

Speaker 9 (57:03):
Missus Roper as a character was so loud herself in
her fashion choices and her hair style and all of that.
You can pretty much take it in whatever direction you want.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
So if you're just suiting in, that's a public crawl.
Organizer and attendee talking about this event where the over
one hundred three companies fan dressed up as Missus Roper
for a pup crawl. I thought that was pretty cool.
I'll do that. I like theme. I like theme pub crawls.
I went on a pub crawl of that. No, it
wasn't a pub crawl. It was a movie screening for
the Jerk and everybody dressed up as Steve Martin. I

(57:36):
thought that was pretty In Oscar, we all had a robe. Yeah,
Oscar Blues hosted it. It was really fun. But speaking
of eighties sitcoms, well, this is more seventy sitcoms, but
we'll dive into the eighties. This has already kind of
been on our desk for a little bit. But I
got to dive into it. Thanks to our friends over
at Superior Pest Control for sitting in this our way.
But we're obviously big fans of the show Cheers. I

(57:59):
think much seen every episode and we talked about it
a lot. But the guys from Cheers once took a
boat ride from hell when they got caught in the
undermauth of a hurricane and got seasick. On top of that,
Ted Danson was on shrooms for the first time thanks
to Woody Harrelson, on mushrooms, on mushrooms.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
So waitnute, you're seasick, caught at sea in a storm
and on mushrooms for the first time in your life.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Yep, And apparently it was not a fun time. Ted
Danson says it was one of the worst four hours
of his life and he was ready never to do
mushrooms again. So yeah, Woody Harrelson and Ted Danson once
played hooky from the show Cheers to do mushrooms.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Did you ever see the finale? The fin of Cheers,
and then they went live to them just partying at
a real bar afterward and they were slashed, which is weird.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
Because if you watch Cheers, you know that the Ted
Danson's character Sam Malone was a recovering alcohol who didn't
drink anymore.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Hey, you owned a bar?

Speaker 1 (59:02):
You know a bar? Great show man. I love that show.
But yeah, it's fun stuff.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
I played a hooky from the set to do shrooms
and got sea sick because it got caught in the store.
Got cotton, perfect combination.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (59:14):
Real beer on that show, too, is a three two beer,
real very light light.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
Well, don't be giving all the secrets away, Bill, all right,
we gotta take your break still to come. Speaking of bars,
was Billy Joel's piano man about a gay bar. Also
so much more. Hang with us. We'll right back.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
On average, humans walk nine hundred miles per year and
drink twenty two gallons of beer, which means the average
human gets forty one miles per gallon. Not Ben, What's
on Tap Radio continues, I love you just the way

(01:00:01):
you are.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Welcome back to What's on Tap Radio? Where karaoke is
not my thing? Karaoke fun fact guilty pleasure of beer
guru James Simpson. I heard rumor that when carryout karaoke
is in in play. A piano man from Billy Joel, what.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Are my go tos absolutely that that Entiny Dancer.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Oh, I thought it was gonna be Toxic by Britney Spears.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Now I can't get this. I notes like wm Ben's
Oh there's a name drop right there, a quid brewing company.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
You know, I want to I want to go ahead,
and since we are talking about this and we were
talking about breweries, I want to do a flashback of
What's on Tap Radio. We had a good friend Troy
Witherspoon who used to be with Buffalo by You Brewing
Company and good friend the show and Ambassador craft Beer

(01:01:03):
and uh he and his wife and uh Stephanie Yep
and Win and uh razuls Erin Pharr who founded Buffalo
by You Brewing Company. He we all went out to
a karaoke bar one night after recording What's on Tap Radio?
And I went down there and Razuol did one of

(01:01:25):
the most unusual versions of New York New York by
Frank Sinatra.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
He always did Frank Sinatra did that' karaoke with the
rass before.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Yeah, right, but he doesn't sing. You know how some
people say it, I wanna be a part of it.
He'd be like, I want to be a part of it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
New York, New York brought it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
He did a William Shatton version. Yeah, he did it.
Just he just starts talking and and it was hilarious.
He did his own little thing. But we're gonna be
talking about the piano man and whether or not that
song is about a gay bar. We're gonna get into
that in just a second. But speaking of going out
to the bar or brewery, have you ever found yourself

(01:02:16):
going out to the brewery or bar and you've got
your phone in your hand and you're going into the
proverbial doom scrolling where you're just got your head down,
you got your pint glass next to you, and you're
just scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, and you're not paying attention
to anything that's going on around you. Well, that's not
the point of going out to the bar. Nope, it's

(01:02:39):
not the point of going out to the brewery either.
And Broken Bat Brewing Company as a solution, Broken Bat.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Broke Bat Mountain.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
No, No, you're making it too easy, James to me,
I'm not gonna bite it on this one. I'm gonna
walk away. Yeah, you sending now yourself up for the
Broken Bat Brewing Company they they want you to play cards,
they want you to play board games. They want you

(01:03:11):
to enjoy the food. They want you to throw darts.
They want you to talk to people around you, including
the bartenders.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Now, what the hell is it's nineteen nineties.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Yeah, exactly, everybody's got a phone. Well maybe not because
at Broken Bat Brewery they are running a promotion called
No Phone Friday, where Broken Bat has done a promotion
offering customers one free drink if they agree to leave
their phone locked away at the bar. The owner, Tim Pauly,

(01:03:42):
said he came up with the idea after he realized
how much time he was spending doom scrolling on his phone,
and he's like, there's a lot of negativity online. He's like, man,
bar is supposed to be a happy place. Why am
I sitting here dwelling all this negativity? And just figured
why not give people a reason to put down their phone,
come have a beer, shoot some darts, play some pool,
and just relax for a little bit. So this promotion,

(01:04:04):
they've run three of them throughout the summer, and all
of their sales have tank because nobody was willing to
give up their phone. No, actually, quite the opposite, no
sales on no phone Friday have doubled. You might be thinking,
why don't they do this every Friday of sales double?
This is fantastic. So on no phone Fridays, those Friday

(01:04:28):
beer sales have doubled, the fridays where you're allowed to
sit there and doom scroll through your phone. So good
for you, Polly and Broken Bat Brewing. Maybe more of
us need to take this up. I want to challenge
fellow breweries out there, bars too. Yeah, hey, yeah, I
know there's gonna be somebody who's gonna say, well, we
don't want the liability of having to own somebody's phone

(01:04:51):
for even for a short period of time and possess it. Yeah,
well I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
But well, you know comedy a pioneer comedy stores do that.
This comedy. If we go to a comedy club, you
have to lock up your phones and they have like
the zipper thing, zipper bag.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
They love it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
They lock up and so you can't record the show.
But I'm I'm all for this because I have this
friend of mine. I'm not gonna call him out, I'm
not gonna say his name, but every time I go
out with this guy is so annoying dude. He sits
there on his phone just scrolls and like I'm talking
with him, he's uh huh as he's looking at his phone.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
It's like a dude, this is so rude, so rude.
But the guy is always on the go. He travels
a lot, and so he's all there. I know I
had a beer with him. I'm like, I had a
beer with him a few weeks ago and it was
just like the same thing.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
I'm like, come, alright, bro, all right here, I'm gonna
I'm gonna go ahead and say this. If he was
in bed with his wife, would he be scrolling through
his huh probably yeah, yeah right, yeah, huh. Yep, that's good. No,
put the phone down, listen. If you're there to engage
in social be you know, normal social behavior, camaraderie.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
Well, it's awkward because I don't I always put my
phone down, Like, I don't ever pick it up. The
only time I pick it up is if it rings
or something. But you know, I'm trying to have a
conversation with him and he's just scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, uh
huh uh huh uh huh. It's like, dude, this is
that he's a good friend of mine and I've been
friends with the guy for over you know, twenty years.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
No, you want to test him if you've better, if
you're if he's a really good friend and you're a
good friend of his. What you do is is you
work in just something ridiculous, like you know, and he's going, uh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
Huh huh one time that uh, yeah, we found that
we found that prostitute dead in the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Right, and he's like huh uh huh. And it's like,
all right, dude, you're not even listening, or hey, did
you know that piano man's really about a gay bart?
Huh huh, all right, And.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
I was like, all right, all right, I do what
I'm talking about that. But this isn't the only place
this place. Is this happening all over the world, because
there's a restaurant in Italy that's trying something as well.
They're giving you a free bottle of wine, a free bottle,
not a glass, a bottle of wine if you give
up your phone when you come in, and there are
no strings, you just give up your phone. They give

(01:07:00):
you a bottle of wine. And apparently the responsor from
the diners has been very positive. I can see it.
I can see it because we don't have conversations anymore.
It's all about just uh huh uh huh. Like, dude,
I talked about he asked about my kids. I'm talking
about kids, and I'm like, dude, are you even listening.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
No, he's not.

Speaker 6 (01:07:19):
But you know, me and my wife went to lunch
the other day and we're at the restaurant and here's
a husband and wife sitting on a seat waiting for
a table, both of them on their phones, absolutely ignoring
each other. I'm thinking, you're taking time out of your
day to spend the afternoon with your wife, and you, Chad.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Put your phone.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
Do Bill? You were talking?

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Bill was talking about his kids or something. Yeah, yeah,
he says something about the lawnmower. I saw that. They're
just annoyed the help. Yes, yeah, it a.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
Bothers me, but all right. I like the Internet. Got
talking about the internet's always spreading some kind of conspiracy theory.
Because now the Internet has come out and it is
Billy Joel's piano. Man, does it take place in a
gay bar? There's a theory that's been kicking around the
Internet for several years, and I just caught win of this.
Thanks to our friends over Siberia pest Control for sending
us our way, always sending us good stuff. But the

(01:08:13):
main argument around the lyrics they sent around the lyric. Now,
Paul is a real estate novelist who never had time
for a wife, and he's talking with Davy, who's still
in the navy and probably will be for life. And
the theory is that hookups in progress between the men
who never had time for a wife and the guy

(01:08:34):
in the navy. And there's always been that stereotype about
sailors according to the Internet. And there's also the fact
that regulars at the bar asked piano player, quote, man,
what are you doing here and out of place?

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Because I'm gonna all right, I'm gonna go out. First
of all, I need to put the disclaimer out there.
These are not the views of James Simpson, which had
Bill Harbor, Light Bill, or anyone else affiliated with the show,
including our sponsors.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
I mean, we gotta run that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
We gotta run that, because no, these are not this
is what's on the internet.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
Yeah, this is no this is out there. We're just
putting a story out there. Just came across our desk,
but of course it's a stretch. Yeah, the most logical
reading of that line is that they think it's too
good to be pounding the keys in some dive bar.
But it hasn't stopped the gay bar theory from the
talking from the internet anyway. Billy Joels of course come
out and said that it's very funny. He says, quote

(01:09:33):
and he sees how it could be. But as far
as Paul not having a wife, Billy's intention was that
in his line of work he was just too busy
writing his novels for to find romance.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
Or it could just rhyme, rhyme.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
Yeah, I could write, you know, it could just rhyme.
But yeah. There's a conspiracy floating around the old innerwebs
that says that is Billy Joel's piano man about a
gay bar.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
I don't know, but I do know this. I will
dress up as Missus Roper and go I'm crawling and
I am comfortable in my skin.

Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
Oh man, that's funny. I would I would get down
on that, darn right man.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
I could see myself walking in and some guy coming
up is like hey, and I'm like, darn right, man,
look at my moo moo. I got my hair and
curlers too, and I'm bald. I may have a getting
a special wig for that pump crawl. All right, James,
we've got one more.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
Some more segment. Whatever you got going on? A beer
for the benefit journalism. I like, what else have we
got going on? We'll get it. We'll find something else

we passed the savings on to you.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Well, yeah, it pays for it. It's pretty for you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
So I was, uh, I was thinking about this time
whenever we were looking for stunt beer drinkers. And then
Harbor Light Bill just shows up. He's like, I'll bring beer,
and it's like okay. And then James, you know, he
went on, uh, what is it dry James.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
January, which is coming up in the next few months,
And yes, I will be participating in Dry January once.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Again, and you'll be drinking alone and once again. Sorry,
but I want to point this out that in Oxford, Mississippi,
the University of Mississippi, oh Miss, students were moving in
to the campus in the middle of August here and

(01:15:46):
I was just like, these two parallels. It's like it's like,
you know, offering to help out.

Speaker 3 (01:15:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Well, there was a beer truck that right on the
edge of campus flipped over, spilled cases of beer all
over in the college town. And of course news reports
went out and helpful students were all will come help
clean this came out and herds photos shared by the

(01:16:13):
police department show that cases of Natty Light, bud Light, Corona, Michelobaltro,
and Modello.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
Oh that is a frat boys dream right there. Oh man.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
The only thing missing from that was white claw. I mean,
my gosh, right there is perfect. And they were like,
all right, we're we're here, and of course, you know, students,
they jumped all over the social media and police were
quick to say and no, you cannot come help clean
it up. And that's where the cops were wrong, that's right,

(01:16:45):
because people showed up in droves and the Facebook posts
that they we disagree. In fact, the comments were pretty
durn good and one of the comments saying, I mean
it could get cleaned up faster with some assistance, don't
you think. I mean I never turned down free help
to move into my dorm, Like that's pretty good. Many

(01:17:07):
of the other comments that just astonished that people you know,
were swarming down there to come to the department's rescue
and it was being refused and somebody posed it and
this is gorgeous right here, this is beautiful frat house
could have cleared that cleaned up before the police even arrived.
Many offers over their own assistance and clean up the mess,
and then they asked, say, you know, we'll only take

(01:17:29):
a couple cases in return for good service, but the
police said no. We've covered stories like this before, but
I found it interesting that the University of Mississippi Old
miss students willing to respond to the call even when
they weren't asked.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Just to do some community service. And I can imagine
they probably went to home depot that early that morning,
got some gloves, some trash bags, and some shovels and
some rakes, and they came out ready to prepare to
help clean up this mess, just to be turned away.
Why why would you turn away? What did they get
to do with those those beers? Anyways, they're probably end
up destroying them, right.

Speaker 2 (01:18:04):
Yeah, that's right, Yeah, you destroy them. And I know
those students, they're they're of a new generation. They're just
gonna recycle.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
And I know what they're thing. And then police are
probably like, what, we don't know if these fraternities that
are showing up are of age. Some of them could be,
you know. Eighteen nineteen we don't know. I just cart
them just hey, look, I'm gonna let you come in.
Just let me see some of my d's and they'll
let you come and clean it up.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
They showed up, and rumor has it they showed up
and they said those six pack carriers could end up
in the ocean and they're not edible and sea turtles,
sea turtles could die.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Yeah, I mean it could have been cleaned up in
record times. Yeah, but nope, but no, the police said, no,
we got this and took four hours in traffic was
backed up for miles. Oh, because they couldn't get that.
They wouldn't get the help.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
They wouldn't accept help.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
They wouldn't all right, real quick before we get out
of here. I like this story because they hit close
to it, hits close to home, and I like the
name of the brewery. There's a brewery called Pony Source
Brewing Company, one of the best name of the breweries
I ever heard. And they're launching a new beer that
will help fund additional reporting positions across the state. Yes,
they are doing a beer to benefit journalist I know

(01:19:10):
as a.

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
Journal journalist or propaganda you.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Know, No, they're fact checking chat they're fact checking. That
makes it so if Punny Stores Brewing Company is introducing
Tell the Truth, a fact check culch a beard to
benefit journalism in North Carolina and a portion of the
proceeds will be donated to the Assembly, a digital magazine
and reporting network to fund additional reporting positions across the states.

(01:19:33):
And it's called Tell the Truth number zero two, and
it seeks to support journalism that puts the facts first
and sustains the journalists who do the hard work of
holding power accountable.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
Like that story, So James how giving it the old applause?
The APPLAUSA meters going up well.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
And I'm a journalist. I'm a part of the Journalism
and Education Association, so I applaud this. Tell the Truth
a beer that believes in the facts. Chad Biden slip
is something before we get out of here? What you
got U?

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
I I will drink anything if we can get real
news again, not propaganda. Don't give me Fox Snooze, don't
give me the Clinton News Network, don't give me miss
missed it NBC. I don't want any of this, I
no don't. I don't want any of your propaganda. I

(01:20:30):
want real hard news. Give me the facts, tell me
what happened, not your agenda, and I don't want any
of your dagum pontificators and pundits up.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
A music is labor and your Chad Fox. All right,
we got to get out of here. That's quite the show, Chad.
Way to end it. Before we get out of here,
