don't even know what started it, but I went on
a little rant about the beer industry, and not really
the beer industry, but the beer radio podcast industry, and

the whole four new format for what's on tap radio
tap dancing, which we got accused of one time, and
I can.

Tell you now, I figured if we had a show
about tap dancing, some writers out there might like to
show more. I'm just saying, whether.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Or not we the show gets monetized and commercials get
dropped in, I'd rather listen to the same person talk
for ninety minutes with no interruptions.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Some people like lecture radio, but that's not us.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Not bitter at all.

Speaker 1 (03:47):

Speaker 2 (08:39):
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, bahitas, chops,
and it's all grilled on a wood fired grill. Got burgers,

(08:59):
you got rap hey. If you're vegetarian, they 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 you're gonna
tell me to eat your veggies? Hey, mom said eat

(09:20):
your veggies. Over one hundred different menu items, get the
green beans. Trust me, you won't regret it. And over
one hundred different beers head out to the Backyard Grill

of Houston. Cheers.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh yeah, we're letting freedom ring this week, aren't we.
Chad and Bill.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I like, I mean, it's arguably one of the most
divisive beers ever made. And yeah, we want to bring
people together. I want to reset the guy who doesn't
drink beer.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
I don't know if you saw Donald Trump and they
had this big rally, it's very It's kind of controversial
now because Tony Hitchcliff came and said some and I
guess some jokes that you know, infitted some folks. But anyways,
they had a whole cogan there and he was trying
to rip his shirt to he goes he was wearn't
a Trump twenty twenty four shirt under it, but I

(10:25):
guess he's kind of old and like he just couldn't
rip the shirt. It's kind of kind of sad watch
he finally he finally got a ripped, but it took
him a little bit. Well, Cogan's getting up there in
age man.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
But yeah, yeah, it really sucks when you go off
the Royds. All right, Uh, just saying.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
We're gonna get to that brought to the table. I
want to reset the beers that we brought, but I
want to tease a little bit of what we got
on tap this week. I got a lot of news
speaking of politics. We got to get into politics because
calm La Harris got caught on a hot mic while
having a beer, and uh, we'll talk about what beer
she was having and what they were talking about. We're
gonna talk about Conservative Beer Company that they're expanding their

(11:09):
product line with what they're labeling a perfect drink, and
then San Antonio's own back Unturned Brewings helping craft beer
fans and is there anything brewersies can't do? Last week
we were talking about how it was killing cancer cells
and now find out what Brewersis can do. All this

(11:30):
is so much more. I mean, we got an action
pack of reader show coming up, so don't miss an alisivit,
Grab yourself a beer, pull a comfortable chair up and enjoy.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
And I feel like with the stories that we put
together this week, when like there's a lot of you
don't say, really I know stories, I thought that's a
lot of AHAs, Like seriously, I didn't, you know. I
mean we try to we try to always one up
the show every week, and sometimes you know, it's a
slow news week some days, you know. I mean, you know,

(11:59):
Martin how isn't releasing a new beer and we don't
have anything to talk about, you know, we got to
come up with something on our own.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Well, I mean, here's another story we got from the
creative Peaky Blinders, which is one of my favorite shows.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
And here's a great story.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
A new Netflix series is about a famous brewery. We
got to talk about that. And I mean, like I said,
we got a lot on top. And if we don't
get to it this week, well we'll try to come
back next weekend bringing back Yeah, another show, another great, great,
great outing.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Here's a little fun fact about the show every once
in a while.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
I was about to do it hit the fun fact.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
No no, it's not the fun fact that the official No, no, no,
not yet, no, just a fun fact about the show. Occasionally,
we'll be sitting here and we'll be in the production meetings,
like are there any stories we didn't get to last week?
And we start coming back over it's like, oh, we
didn't get to this, we didn't get to this. Hey,
are there any stories we didn't get to the week before?
Oh we didn't get to that, we didn't get to that.
And next thing you know, we realized we have an

(12:53):
entire show of stories we didn't get to from previous weeks,
and we just pull them forward.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
What we call ever stories folks, evergreen stories. But this
production meeting was a little different because my daughter was
doing magic tricks for us.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Not only was your daughter doing magic tricks, but Superior
Pest Control West Michigan flooded the inbox. Thank you for
heading up the research department here Superior Pest Control of
West Michigan. And uh yeah, I think we're sending over
story after stories like did you see this? Did you
see this? Did you see this? Like here we go, man,
we got a hot, hot ticket today, So don't you
go anywhere unless it's to the fridge to grab another beer, unless,

(13:29):
of course you're driving, which case, you know, just keep
it dialed right in here and don't change the channel,
and have that beer when you get home.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
All right. I was gonna talk about my beer, but
I kind of feel like we should get to the
fun fact.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah, let's do it now, the official What's on TEP
Radio fun Fact of the week, brought to you by
Who's ever checked clear?

Speaker 2 (13:48):
This week?

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, and I got the Saint Arnold pumpkin eat or
at ten percent breathing and in my studio kind of
smells like a fall handle. It's really nice, all right, Jack.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
I'll build some time in here for you to be
able to reflect on those. And so while you're getting
an education, why don't you just sit back and relax
and then sip on your beer and you know, have
a little have a little dinner, you know where it's
a little snack. I see you're super fan, just walked
into your studio and dropped off some food for you.
That's really nice, all right.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Cookie chat. It goes nice with that pairs well of
my pumpkinador.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Oh nice, look at that. All right, yes, and this
food I appreciate food and beer pairing brought to you
by whoever's check clear this week as well. All right,
here we go. I'm gonna tell you something that is
in common with Miller High Life and Flying Dog Brewery. Now,
many of you are probably very familiar with Miller High Life.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
And it is the light. Oh yes, have you yet
to meet somebody who drinks that?

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah? I know, but they brought it back for that guy,
that one guy who drinks it. But h Miller High
Life and Flying Dog And you may be thinking what
is Flying Dog. Well, Flying Dog a brewery that started
in the nineties out in Colorado and then eventually moved
to Maryland, becoming actually the biggest brewery in Maryland. You
may be thinking, why would they go from Colorado to Maryland.

(15:13):
You know a lot of a lot of a lot
of stories on why that is, and it's really a
boring story. But what's not boring is the artwork on
Flying Dog beers. In fact, it has been a subject
of much controversy because they have had some beers, like
one that was called Raging Bitch and it had a

(15:38):
dog on it looked like a rabbit you it was
a Belgian beer had a rabbit dog just growling and
snarling and.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
The Belgian Belgian ip is really good.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah. And then it had all the nipples on it.
And then there was another one that they they got
pulled off the shelve and they were they were banned
because there was a guy on it standing naked next
to a fire trying to warm up after being out
in the cold. And they said it was in poor
taste and actually violated label laws, which of course the
Supreme Court said, wrong answer. So they've won. I say,

(16:10):
Supreme Court, I don't think it made it. I think
it made to the state Supreme Court, but it didn't
make it to the federal. But Flying Dog Brewery is
proud to support and create the are the creators of
an organization that is against censorship. In fact, one such
the name of such organization is called F censorship. But

(16:30):
it's not just the letter F, it's the whole word.
But if you ever look at the artwork, it is
a little scary. It is a little frightening. In this
time of year, you know, you think about you know,
all the holidays had just passed and all the scary
out there. The work on the Flying Dog beers is
a little bit like a horror show or that of

(16:51):
an LSD trip. And you may be asking, how do
I know that it's in their notes? How do I know?
The founders of the brewery went high hiking up in
the mountains with various contra band and it turns out
that they had somebody who was also a fan of
the brewery, one Hunter S. Thompson, the founder of Gonzo Journalism,

(17:12):
and also someone who just happens to indulge in an
occasional acid trip or did rest in peace. And turns
out that Hunter S. Thompson had a gentleman who was
by the name of Ralph Stedman, who did all of
the crazy, very psychedelic artwork for Gonzo Journalism, who was

(17:35):
then employed to do all of the Flying Dog artwork.
But how did flying Dog get its name? Well, there
are a couple different stories that vary on this. One.
I went toward the brewery and they said, well, Hunter S.
Thompson and the founder were tripping on LSD and looked
up at the sky and saw a flying dog. Another
one says that after coming down from a Mountain hike
and running out of contraband, they went into a local

(17:56):
watering hole and saw a flying dog painted on the
war But what does this have to do with Miller
High Life. Well, it turns out that Miller High Life
they had their own little case of censorship because they
called themselves the Champagne of beer, and in twenty twenty
three they had bottles of the High Life destroyed because
it violated the label laws claiming to be Champagne. And

(18:19):
Miller High Life has the Girl in the Moon who
first appeared in nineteen oh seven. So where did the
Girl in the Moon come from? No one really knows.
A Milwaukee nurse says it was modeled after her grandmother.
Another one says it's after Mexican artwork that was inspired
whenever the Miller family bought the Mexican artwork. Others say

(18:39):
it's Frederick Miller's granddaughter, and still others yet say that
Miller advertising manager had a vision similar to Hunter S. Thompson,
maybe of a girl in the moon while lost in
the woods. Yes, he was lost in the woods and
looked up and had this vision. So your official What's
on Tap Radio Fun fact of the Week is that
Flying Dog Brewery and Miller High Life have something in common.
They both have logos and labels inspired by some trippy,

(19:04):
trippy trips in the woods and staring up at the
night sky and seeing visions. And that is your official
What's on Tap Radio fun fact of the week.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
I love playing Dog. I don't really see on the
shelves too much anymore. But man, maybe make great beer.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
And we will hear about James Pumpkin Eader.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Well by the other show again. I promise we'll get
to it. But onis on tap this week, Like I said,
we're gonna get to We're gonna a little political because
we got the election coming up. We have to talk
about politics all so much more. We'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
If you encounter wine snobs, just take a full class
of wine and put.

Speaker 2 (19:37):

Speaker 3 (19:42):

I want to say twenty fourteen, two.

Speaker 1 (21:38):

they actually released No. Twenty When they released Pumpkinator itself,

it's an Imperial pumpkin stout. It's their answer on how
pumpkin beers out of taste. Brew with a combination of
pale two row caramel, black Maltz Cascade Liberty Hops for
the background, hot flavor, pumpkin for rich Mountfield molasses, brown sugar, spices,

sent us. But the folks out of San Antonio back
Unturned Brewing Company, which is located in downtown San Antonio.
Really cool people got a chance to hang out with them.

(23:53):
They are part of the Texas Crop Brewers Guild and
they're really serving up some incentives for patrons of some
recently close those breweries. And I've often wondered this because
there's a lot of breweries that offer a membership program.
You know, you can buy it. You can become a
mug Club member and you pay into it, like what
is it that maybe it's five hundred dollars or one

(24:13):
thousand dollars and you get like a party and then
you get your first beer free whenever you go to
the brewery. And it's a really cool program. A lot
of breweries do it. But what happens is you invest
this money and then the brewery they close, right, And
so what backturn is doing is they're urging people to
bring in their old membership mug or other proof of
membership from a closed brewery and their first beer will

(24:36):
be free. So, according to backun Turns owners, customers of
shattered breweries such as Weathered Souls, which we talked about
Second Pitch, Oh, I forgot Second Pitch closed. That's another
brewery that we hung out not too long ago, may
take advantage of this once a month. Back on Turns
leaders said this is the way customers of closed breweries
can still use their old membership mug or discount and

(24:58):
show support for locally owned and operated brewers amid hard
times for the craft beer industry. Back on Turn we'll
promote the canceled and old membership offering during their inaugural
free beer event, which will take place through November. They
have a lot of activities going on. But another story
that was tied to this, speaking of hard times chat,

(25:20):
I don't know if you saw this, busted sandel brewing
companies closing their doors for good after eleven after eleven
years in business, the owners announced the sad news and
a social media post sighting inflation has a major factor
affecting their decision, and it reminds me of the good times.
Man like Chad and I. We've done some great, great
stuff over the years, and I'll never forget. We did

(25:41):
a show over at Jugs Drugs Draft.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
And all we did we put out on X that
we're gonna be there, and we invited every brewery that
read the tweet. It was Twitter back then to come
hang out with us. And we never knew what brewers
were gonna show up. And we had Carlos Not show up.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Carlos not from byu Tes Brewing, no.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Label brewing companies showed up, Buffalo by You Company.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
And Jennifer Royo that's right, Razul and Cowboy Troy and.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Then Busted Sandel Brewing Company showed up. They just happened
to read the tweet. We never called them said hey,
would you be willing to meet us over at Jugs Draft.
This was a bar that just sold growlers.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, And I was a guest. I was a guest
host on that episode. And Spradley showed up five minutes
before we went on air.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
I think that's when we were transitioning host Oh.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Wait a minute, it spread showed up five minutes before
we went on there every.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Time, and this s Bradley didn't realize that we were
at that time we were transitioning hosts. He didn't know that,
but he was. He was the original second micer here
on What's on Tap Radio. But anyways, good times were had,
and uh, it's sad for me to read another brewery
bus of sandal and man, that was one of the
most fun there's road shows we did because, like I said,

(26:57):
it was all impromptu.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
It was it was all yeah, everybody showed up and
it was like, hey you want to come on, all right, cool,
we're gonna bring you on for a segment. And we
just brought them on and and then that's I think
that's back when we had really we had a longer segment.
We had the twenty four minute middle segment.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Right, yeah block, and the the B block was twenty
four minutes.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Right, And so we bring in two or three brewers
on one second. It was like, Hey, we're gonna transition
out here and bring somebody else in. While we're doing that,
We're gonna crack up in another beer. And we just
kept rolling and rolling, and we did that. And I
want to bring something else about the San Antonio I
saw another article that the Texas Brewers Guild craft Brewers Guild,
they are now working, uh, in light of some of

(27:36):
the breweries that have closed in San Antonio. You know,
like you said, there's another one there, It's not it's
not Alamo is Almo.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Beer Works or something another for sale.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Alamo is right, they're up for sale.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Sol second, I forgot second Pitch closed and now Blessed
Sand closed.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yep. And so just in light of that, the Texas
craft Brewers Guild, they are now reaching out to brewers
to figure out, you know, just and and and seeing
how they can support them by making craft beer destinations
and particularly in the bigger cities or rather, excuse me,
in the smaller cities a tourist destination. You may be asking,
why is it that smaller cities are jumping on this

(28:14):
or why are they helping smaller cities. They've they've opened
it up to everybody. I was reading a little bit
about this article. They've opened up to everyone. And Bernie
Texas home of I think it's Dodging Duck Brewery. That's
one of the oldest brewpubs in Texas. Okay, yeah, they
they were the first ones to get on board and
they paid like a four hundred dollars fee to say, hey, yeah,
we want to be part of this. And Texas Craft

(28:37):
Brewers Guild is now trying to It's like, hey, sign
up for this. We we're gonna put together some awesome
marketing and try and make this. You know, question is
is you know James and I we've talked about this before.
You know, we talked about those ale trails and those
brewery passports, and you know, Texas for whatever reason, didn't
do it for a long time. We talked about in Houston,
like when's who in Houston wants to do it and

(29:00):
create these tourist destinations you know these maps.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Now they the guilds. Since they've done it, they have
an app where you can go and they have one. Yeah,
it's a great one. It's really cool. It's a lot
of fun. And you just go to the brewery and
you check it in and get you get so many
check ins, you got perks and stuff, and I just
think it's a great way to help each other out,
especially in these times where I mean you've just seen
brewery after brewery closing and it's just like, ah, but

(29:24):
I think it's good.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
I think it's good. On the Texas Craft Brewers Guild.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Too, absolutely shout out to the guild, like I mean,
the guilds jump on that, and all the guilds and
all across the states. I know, I always got a
great guild, Michigan's got a great guild, Florida, Louisiana. It's
not just Texas that are doing these things. But it's
just really cool to see breweries coming together. And I
really love what backun turns doing because people shell out,
you know, five hundred one thousand dollars for these member

(29:49):
clubs and then the brewery goes upside down and you're like, ah, well,
I spent all this money on on a membership. Obviously
they didn't the brewer didn't know they were going to close.
But now they can go and get themselves a free bureau.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, lifetime memberships, but they didn't tell you it's the
lifetime of the brewery. And you know, sadly, but that
and that brewery, they don't get anything from that except
for the fact that they get to help support you
as a customer. So get good on you man. I
love that.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
All right, shout out to back Onto Brewing out San Antonio.
All Right, we gotta take a break still to come
on tap this week. Like I said, what can't brewers
yeast do? And uh, speaking of breweries closing, how about
breweries expanding? We got a story in that in the
news also so much more. Hang with us. We'll be
right back.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
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 2 (30:47):
We want to thank Superior Pest Control West Michigan for
flooding our inbox with stories each and every week. Proud
sponsors of our research department, Superior Pest Control, you can
find them here in West Michigan at Superior Pest dot biz.
That's Superior yourpast dot biz.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
I think I'll be joining this punkinador all show. Welcome
back to What's on Tap Radio. Saint Arnold Brewing Company,
multi award winning Pumpkinator, an imperial pumpkin stouts a lot
of cinnamon, nutmeg.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah, myth about pumpkin beers they taste like pumpkin. No,
they don't. Pumpkin really doesn't have any flavor.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
No, But you see these stories after stories, and I'm
I've had listeners send us stories about this weather guy.
I forget where he's out of, but apparently had one
of the heaviest pumpkins and he collaborates with a brewery
and they they put beer in into it and they
do it every year, and uh so that's kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
But does he turns They may ever turned to I'm
sure somebody has like a big old pumpkin like that
into a fermentor.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
I don't think they do a ferman or.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
No, no, why not? I don't know what I mean.
If Martin House can put cheetohs in beer.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah I know, but well it's for rots. I don't know.
Has that stopped.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Anyone from making a beer before? This beer tastes terrible,
let's sell it. I mean, I'm not saying Martin House
beer is bad. That's not what I was saying. I
was saying that there there are bad beers out there,
there are wild and crazy beers out there there. In fact,
there are perfectly ordinary beers out there. That are really bad,
like this Aphrodite that we just had. But then again,

(32:42):
I don't want to rip on the brewery or the
beer because well Bill brought it, but Harberlite Bill on
third mic here has a public service announcement for all
you listeners out there.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
Please check your date before you buy your beer.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah, please, because that beer is.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
I remember what we talked about last week in California,
they're banning cell by dates, so maybe oh yeah, BIS
might not have sell by dates anymore, or dates at all.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
That's facts. But we're gonna redeem ourselves with what's hopefully
I know, James, you quit on the season, but it's
still October Fests in somebody's heart.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
And uh no, no, no, you cannot drink in october
Fest in November. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Oh? I know, I know. I'm probably gonna get hepatitis B.
I know, God, all right, hep b. Here we go.
This is the anger October Fest.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Oh hold on, do we give a shout out to Hilda?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Oh wow, we haven't talked about her in a minute.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
I like her.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
I don't know, Bill, what do you think you think?
That's spelting special?

Speaker 4 (33:43):
I mean, that is decent Mars and style beer.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I'm thinking it was mistreated, but you check thinking the
bottle was mistreated.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
I checked your BJCP uh standards there and you're gonna
find that beer there.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Yeah, I'm I'm maybe it's just because we came off
of another beer that was really, really, really harsh. But yeah,
I think I think that. Yeah, I'm thinking this beer
may have been left in the sun or something because
came from Germany. Germany, all right, anyway, I anger october Fest.
That's what we We're keeping the spirit alive. But James,

(34:17):
as you said, we talked about some breweries that were closing.
We talked about the contraction of the market. We talked
about how we can help out our fellow brewer, but
what about breweries that are expanding. Now I've got I've
got a really mixed feeling about this story, so much
show that I had to reach out to uh, our

(34:38):
good friend Kelly Meyer.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
How not to start to start a damn podcast?

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Our podcast? Yeah? How not? How did not start a
damn brewery? Right?

Speaker 5 (34:51):
That?

Speaker 1 (34:51):
All right?

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yes? And uh, there is a brewery that is iconic,
It's epic, and those who know it, Uh, you got
to go to the brewery to get their tasty, tasty wears,
and that is New Glaris Brewing Company. They are located
just outside of Madison, Wisconsin, in New Glaris and the

(35:13):
brewery's been around, I think since nineteen ninety three. Yeah,
they sold their first beer then. And it's a family
owned husband and wife brewmaster Dan Carey and his wife
Deb who is the president, and they brew about two
hundred and thirty thousand barrels of beer a year. Now,
I'm trying to think of how we could compare two

(35:35):
hundred and thirty thousand barrels to give you an idea
of how big they are. I'm trying to think of
another brewery that comes in like that. But just to
let you know, they rank twelve in total sales volume
amongst all craft breweries nationwide. So they're number twelve overall
amongst craft brewers.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Which is bizarrely because they're only available in so many markets.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
I know, drink wisconsinly, you know, I mean, they drink
a lot of that beer. So all two hundred and
thirty thousand barrels of beer of New Glaris beer are
sold there. Of course, their flagship is spotted cow and
it's a nice farmhouse style.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
They the Democratic National Convention in Wisconsin, and all these
people were like, what is this heavenly beer?

Speaker 2 (36:25):
This is amazing. It's amazing. So here's where I have
a little bit of heartburn. That New Glaris Brewing Company
is breaking ground on a brand new sixty five thousand
square foot building on their campus, coming in at a
cool fifty five million dollar expansion. Now I didn't do

(36:52):
the math on this to figure out how many barrels
of beer you gotta sell to break even on fifty
five million, but obviously the brewery is doing well. Now
we've talked a little bit about some contraction in the industry,
and the number of breweries opening is still outpacing the
number of breweries that are it's closing. But to me,

(37:14):
this is a high risk investment. The last two breweries
that I know of that went into major, major expansions,
like this Founder's Brewing Company, they expanded, and I want
to say their first expansion was around thirty I think
it was sixty six million, is what it was. I
think it was a sixty six million dollar expansion. And

(37:37):
of course they saw their volumes drop off and they
were laying off employees and they were cost cutting. And
again it's not a sign that the breweries in trouble,
but that's a you got a lot of overhead. You
got to find a way to pay the bills. And
the other one came at twenty five million, Buffalo by

(37:58):
you Brewing Company. I mean, wealked about that there in Houston.
That was right in our backyard and we watched that
and that's just so much to try and cover through
the sale of a seven dollars pint of beer. I mean,
it's just it's a lot. And uh I I'm nervous.
I'm worried that new Glaris may have stretched to I

(38:19):
hope I'm wrong. I really hope I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Do you think that, well, this expansion, they could start
distributing outside of their home market.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
If they do, does it lose its mystique?

Speaker 1 (38:33):
I mean, Yingling, how's Yingling looking? They're doing pretty good?

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Yeah, Yingling's doing all right. I know, I know, But
Yngling was that Yingling wasn't just available in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
For a long time. It was it was shining in
Texas and they started just kind of a right that was.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
No, We're talking we're talking decades ago, but I mean, yeah,
very much so the best the beer markets changed a lot.
And it's like, if you've got a niche right now
and you're profitable, and you're like, hey, I got an idea,
let's let's spend fifty five million dollars to make ourselves bigger,
I don't know how. I really don't know how I

(39:14):
feel about this this one. I'm very worried about New Glaris.
I think I'm going on record here, all right, Okay,
there's two things I'm going on record on. One, non
alcoholic beer will be a fed and it's going to
go away and and yep, and man, I don't want
to say this is going to hurt nuglars, but I'm I.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
Really hope that there's no mention in the story whatsoever
what their plans are to do with this expansion.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
No, that's the thing. There's no information about it, about
the plans or anything else. With just a fifty five
million so maybe it's fifty five million for catering and banquets.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
I don't even know how big is the brewery now
the current top house is it small? And they're just
really kind of just building a better experience for their customers.

Speaker 4 (39:59):
It's not that big of a place.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
I've been there. Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Maybe that's what they're doing. They're just kind of building
a bigger, better experience for their their customers or their
local customers. So they're like, hey, let's just provide a
better top room experience. I don't know, you better.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Drink a lot of spotted cow because they got to
cover a fifty five million dollar tab that they do.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
That they do?

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Just how much did money? Did does a All right,
we're gonna we're gonna do some math at the next break.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
This is a story that's developing, that's what we're trying
to say.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
And I'm gonna find out. I'm gonna find out how
much fifty five million dollars is in beer. I'm gonna
do that, all right?

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Uh, why you do that? Let me toss it the
break because we got our number one in the books.
But coming up an hour number two, we got home.
I being to watch this. We're gonna talk about what
can't brewers ees do? And uh, we gotta get political.
We got some politics in the news. So much more
coming up on hour number two. Hang with us.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
We'll be right back craft beer. It's not alcoholism, it's
a hobby. This is What's on Tap Radio.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
Hold my beer and watch this brought to you by
your friends at We're all the ten taking Insurance Group
ARTI Grand Rapids dot Com.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
I remember two What's on Tap Radio starts now. A
lot of good stuff on tap this hour an hour
you don't want to miss it. Outs of finishing up
a little bit left over this U pumpkin eatter from

(41:42):
Saint Arnold Brewing Company. I have another beer I want
to crack. I'm not gonna obviously drink a whole Bomber
at ten percent Imperial stout, and so I don't have
a stunt beer drinker, but I will cork it come
back to it later. But I do have another beer
I'm going to be bringing in a little bit. Speaking
of stories on tap this Uh, social media is going

(42:03):
crazy over announcement that bush Light is bringing you back.
A fan favorite will tell you what that is, Kama Harris.
I told you we're going talk of politics this week.
Got caught on a hot mic while having a beer.
Talk about that. Uh, speaking of politics. Conservative Beer Company,
remember the Ultra Rights beer, Well, they're expanding their product

(42:24):
line and what they're labeling the perfect drink. All this
is so much more in this hour of What's on
Tap Radio. And we got some feel good stories. We've
got some stories gonna make you feel nice and warm inside.
You can have a speaking of beers and you know,
keeping nice and warmness, pumpkin or take one more sip?

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yeah, look at you, I mean, yeah, the feel good stories.
I again, I I hope I didn't bum anybody out
on the nuclarist thing. It's not like they're you know,
they made a decision that's demise. I want to I've
just seen a lot of breweries expand really really quickly,
and go big and make big investments, and then whenever
it's time to pay the rent, something happens like COVID,

(43:05):
you know, in the pandemic.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Yeah, or when I get out of the story. What
I got out of the story is we're talking about,
you know, so many breweries closing. I mean, yes, week
after week we talk about it, and then on the
other side we talk about this brewery that only sells
in the Wisconsin market expanding with a fifty five million
dollar facility. That's what I get out of it. So

(43:28):
we're just you know, putting it out there. It's a
story that's developing. We wish them, we're sharing, we wish
them the best, and maybe this is good news for
consumers outside the boring state of Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
I want to Yeah, I want to say this, and
I mean this. Normally, whenever somebody does something cool, we
like to say we hope they make a million dollars
with that idea. I'm going to say this right now,
New Glaris, Deb and Dan, I hope you make fifty
five million dollars with that idea.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
I do too.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
And more. All right, James, Speaking of more, I know
there's way more entertainment in this segment, and you're gonna
provide it via this.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
Pull my beer and watch this, brought to you by
the ringdolta ten Hacen insurance group where they'll ensure you
for just about everything except this.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
All right.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
I told you we're gonna get plitical this week, told
you we're gonna get political this week, and it starts
with hold my beer and watch this. So you really
can't talk your way out of something like this. This
is just wow. Some idiot in Milwaukee, speaking of Wisconsin,
drove drunk one Monday night going the wrong way on
the highway. Yeah, that's never good, never good. But luckily

(44:41):
cops caught him right away and no one was hurt
because he happened to pass a very high profile vehicle. Yeah.
Right after he got off the highway, he passed Kamala
Harris's motorcade. Yep, there's footage of a white car driving
slowly on the left shoulder the motorcade zipping by. She

(45:02):
had a police escort, and two cops immediately pulled him over.
One report said he came within inches of causing a crash,
and the police report says the fifty five year old
driver seemed extremely surprised when the costs told him that
he almost hit the Vice President's car. He didn't realize
that he was going the wrong direction and didn't even

(45:24):
remember getting on the highway. God, how drunk was this guy?
He stated he had quote no intention of harming the
Vice president or anybody related to her campaign. He faces
charges for drunk driving and reckless endangerments. So you hold
my beer and washed this. This week, a wrong way
driver got a DUI after passing Kamala Harris's motorcade. I

(45:46):
never understand how people can get on the freeway the
wrong way. I see this happen all the time.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
There are poorly lit, poorly marked areas. If you're new
to the area, it is conceivable it can happen. I
guess I'd never got on the highway going the wrong direction,
but I did. Uh more than once. I was doing
beer sales in Houston and I and this is never
a good thing, but I came out of the Kroger

(46:15):
there over there on Shepherd in Houston, and I and
it's a one way. But when you're pulling out of
the parking lot at the grocery store, it doesn't say
one way, and so you just pull out. And I'm like, oh, well,
we gotta go right. So I turned right, and all
of a sudden I see all these cars coming at
me and the lights are flash I'm like, oh crap,
and it's three lanes. So fortunately I just spun the
swung the car around. But again, you know, I got

(46:36):
a cooler full of beer in the car and I
was just doing some samplings and I'm like, this is
not good. This is not good. So I mean, that
happened once. But also, if you drink as much as
this guy, apparently he was wasted.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
There's no, there's no. We don't know as blood alcohol,
his blood alcohol. We don't even know what he was drinking.
But I can imagine it was probably something that if
he didn't even realize that, uh, you know, he came
inches from the motorcade, then yeah, something tells me that, yeah,
he was really messed up on something.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
But yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Well, all right, the hold my beer and watched this
this week, presented by our friends or Renaldi ACN Insurance Group.
A wrong way driver got a DUI after passing Kamala
Harris's motorcade.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
All Right, I feel bad that we taught We stepped
all over James whenever he's doing his pumpkin beer. And
I think he's out of his pumpkin beer right now?
Is your glass empty?

Speaker 1 (47:34):
It's not empty. I still have a uh oh, okay,
I still have a little bit. But what I do
want to do is do a little land yap because
I do have a second for another hole my beer
and watched this. You know, every now and then I
can squeeze into I like to do that every now
and then. Little Baker's does in there, Chad, But we
talked about people getting a dui on tractor, an electric scooter, luggage.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Luggage, but a luggage on.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
But I got a zamboni. Yeah, somebody got a dui
on a zamboni in Quebec, Canada. He's been arrested a
suspicion of dui on a low speed crash at a
hockey rink one Monday. Yeah, the mail drivers twenty.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Years hockey game. You're supposed to be drinking, it's.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
Twenty five years old. He's supposed to be cleaning the
ice between the games. It's unclear on what happened, but
he must have zonked out because he just drove the
zamboni straight into the boards and Whenness says he came
and they administrated a sobriety test and apparently he failed
and was arrested and booked. Luckily nobody was hurt. But yeah,
I just want to get out on a zamboni.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
No in Canada, riding a zamboni cleaning the ice. That's
like arresting me from mowing the lawn in Texas, that
with a beer in my hand. No, that's a rite
of passage.

Chad and Bell are like, oh and four right now
on beers.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
No, no, no, the real American beer that we started
with the whole Yeah, do you think that I drink? Yeah,
I didn't hate it. I thought it was I'm not
gonna lie. I looked at it and I'm like, this
is a joke. This is gonna be trash and I'm
gonna spit it out.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
And I took a sip and I was like, it
tastes like, be honest, it tastes like just like any
generic light logger, American light logger.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Right, it was very drinkable, and it did. I didn't
get any off flavors. It tastes honestly, tastes fresh. Yeah,
I didn't get any real corn taste, even though I'm
sure there's a ton of corn in it, you know
horn mash that's in there with your typical quote. Oh
you know what, I know why it tastes good. You
know why?

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Because does not a bald eagle brewed it?

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Does it was brewed by a bald eagle, and and
that bald eagle is a descendant of a bald eagle
that sat on George Washington's shoulder. And that's why they're
both on the quarter and uh and the other reason
is it doesn't say premium on the can. Oh yeah,
so if remember if a beer, if a beer can

(51:29):
or beer bottle says premium on it, it isn't. I
think they said it was all barley. Oh wow, Well
that may be another reason. Okay, well h but we
do have speaking of an all barley beer, life just
got a whole lot better whenever harbor light. Bill hanging
on a third mic, went to the fridge and he's like,
I wonder what this is? Uh from three Floyd's Brewing Company. Yeah,

(51:54):
we're gonna we're gonna sail into Sunset here barrel aged behemoth,
barley wine ale, three Floyd's Brewing Company. I'm gonna pour
three quarters of this in my glass. No, I'll give
some to Bill.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
I like the listeners that we are professionals and we
drink responsibly.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
Well I do have. I do have a stump beerller.
That's enough. Bill, My gosh, why he got the heavy
poor he took the spradley poor. Yeah, well that's my
own fault. I was trying to be just pour as
much as you want. Yeah, exactly twelve eight yeah, exactly, Yes,
it does come in at twelve point Let me double check.
I got a double check. Bill's work here. I gotta

(52:34):
put my readers on because if I don't, you know,
it's not because yep, exactly twelve point eight percent or
thirteen point six yeah, Bill, thirteen point six percent from
uh what is it? Months Monsy or Monster Monsey, Mounsey,
Indiana near Gary there, yeah, before you hit Chicago. All right,

(52:55):
there you go. This is it, man m barrel age
barley wine in general amazing and it's served in the
Samuel Adams Boston logger glass.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
I'm watching hair grow out of the back of Chad's
neck as we speak.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Oh dude, yeah, I know. And it's like I can't
grow hair. It's it's ridiculous. And be careful, you know,
I'm not gonna slap you in the mouth because I
do have alopecia. But this's a Will Smith reference there
if you didn't catch that. But yeah, this is this
is a little bit of heaven and a whole lot
of hell. Yeah, this is just really really good. It's malty,

(53:33):
but here's the thing that hold on, let me go.
Over's up here chat.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
We got to get to his more stories.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
So toffee toffee toffee notes.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Go all right, I'm excited about this. I'm a big
fan of Peaky Blinders, one of my favorite shows. If
you haven't watched it, binge, it is a great, great show.
But from the creators of Pea Blinders. Stephen Knight has
announced that he's working on a drama about the Guinness
dynasty Netflix. Yeah. The series working title is House of

(54:04):
Guinness and it will be about the fallout from the
death of the brewer and politician Benjamin Guinness in eighteen
sixty eight. Think of Succession, but with the stouts. Netflix
explains the new series this way. It's set in the
nineteenth century Dublin and New York. Stephen knights new saga
will focus on the consequences of the death of Benjamin Guinness,

(54:25):
the man responsible for the extraordinary success of Guinness Brewery
and a far reaching impact on his cunning will on
the fate of his four children, Arthur, Edward, Ann and Ben,
as well as a group of Dublin characters who work
and interact with the groaning Juggernaut that it is Guinness.
The Guinness Dynasty is known as the world over wealth, poverty, power, influence,

(54:49):
and great tragedy, all intertwined to create a rich tapestry
of material to draw on from. Explain Knight, I've always
been fascinated by their stories. I'm excited to bring the
characters to life for the world to see, and we're
beyond thrill to be working with the incredible Stephen Knight
to bring a story of Guinness family to Netflix audiences.

(55:10):
Netflix vice president said, so coming to Netflix, Peaky Blinder's
creator is bringing Guinness beer Dynasty for Netflix called House
of Guinness. It's one of the best written press releases
I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
It's a press release that really brings the story to life.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
That's what they're doing. So I figured, in honor of this,
I'm gonna bring a Guinness draft. What's the last time
you had a Guinness draft, Chad?

Speaker 2 (55:39):
I did not have one on last Saint Patty's Day.
So that's so that would mean to Saint Patrick's Days ago,
I don't buy a lot of No, that's not true,
because so a year ago Saint Patrick's Day, I bought
a four pack and I cooked with some guinness where
I poured some in a glass from me and some
into the chili.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Why I have this My wife cooks a lot with guinness,
so we always have we have a lot of guinness
in the in the fridge because she cooks with it.
And so I was like, you know what, I have
a few Guinness stories in the news, especially this Netflix
series that's coming. I'm not sure exactly when they're dropping this,
but yeah, a series called the House of Guinness, and yeah,
there's a lot of stories when it comes to to Guinness.

(56:20):
I have one. Then I'm not gonna go to air.
But if you ever sought me, there's a I have
an urban legend about Guinness that would.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
There are urban legends, there are fun facts, there are
stories they galore. But it sounds like this story is
coming to life. And you've got live beer in a
glass right there and speaking.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Oh, that's a lot different than the from the pumpkinator
at four point two percent alcohol by volume.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
Yeah, you should get yourself a Guinness pumpkin beer and
compare the two. Oh wait, Guinness doesn't make pumpkin beer.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
So there you go. I'm excited for it. I can't
wait for this to come out.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Yeah, I like succession.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
Secession was great, so but the stuff well.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
I mean, if if they hurry it up, Kathleen Hennings
may get to watch this series. I know what you're thinking.
I don't know yet. Harvard light Bill was ready to
drop a name drop Kathleen.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
She does not know us, I know, but I like
to think she does.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
She's a resident of the Chelterenham Care Facility in the
United Kingdom and over there she's living a very happy, healthy,
long life. Reflecting on her many happy years, she wanted
to share her secret formula for a long and happy life.

(57:38):
She just celebrated her one hundred and fifth birthday with
residents of the care facility, team members who cared for her,
and a pint of Guinness beer. No crap, and I'm
telling you, man, I've heard a Guinness for strength, Guinness
for your health, well, Guinness for your long life. She says.

(58:00):
We drank Guinness in our home. I was introduced to
it with my late teens and drank it with my parents.
My brother he drank it. It was always in the house.
And yeah, of course Guinness. They found out about that
thing and they said, you know, we got a personalized
gift for you. We're going to send you all kinds
of really cool swag and of course lots of the
Irish stout. But when Kathleen was asked what is the

(58:22):
real secret to a long and happy life, it wasn't
just drinking a pint of guinness. No, no, she says,
don't get married. So the secret to a long life,
a long happy life at one hundred and five, drink
Guinness every day and don't get married. According to Kathleen

(58:43):
hennings Man, hopefully they hurry up and make this show
so she can watch it the.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
On Guinness House of Guinness we see on Netflix. All right,
let's take a break as I drink this Guinness. Maybe
I'll love to be one hundred years old. I was
gonna say a hundred and five, but no, all right,
let's get political. Let's get political. Coming up, we'll be
right back.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
Here at What's on Tap Radio. We know two types
of people, those you drink with and those that make
you drink.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Oh, your parents are coming for the weekend. Either way,
we're drinking.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
All right, Welcome back. What's on tap radios or what
you're listening to if you're joining the show, make sure
to tell your friends about it. Trying to grow the show,
you know, eleven years, still trying to grow. So got
a lot more, dude, And.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
We don't have fifty five million dollars to expand it.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
We really don't, not like one Milwaukee brewery. Does that
only sound Milwaukee, Newclarus. I'm sorry, you're right, you're right,
you're right, you're right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Where's New Glaris Brewery located Milwaukee, New Glaris. It's actually
in New Yeah, it's New Glaris Brewery because it's in
New Glaris.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Milwaukee is where my home, my beer and watched this
the guy was out of So you're right, you're right,
all right, speaking of politics, Speaking of politics, I want
to dive into politics before I do that. One of
the first things you learn when you get into radio
or TV that always always assume the microphone's hot, because
you never want to get yourself caught in a position

(01:00:35):
where you're saying something into a hot mic. It has
gotten many, many many DJs in trouble. You know they're
at a commercial break and you know they're just talking
back and forth and the producer forgot to turn the
MIC's off, and they just think they're having a private
conversation with the whole world's hearing it. You can get
yourself some trouble. It almost got Kamala Harris. I don't
know if it almost got her in trouble, but let's

(01:00:56):
just say she was caught by a hot mic, because
apparently she was out having a beer with Michigan Mayor
Gretchen Whitmer and they were caught on a hot mic
admitting Kamala Harris was admitting that her campaign is struggling
with male voters just over a week until election day,
and the moment occurred while she was enjoying a beer alongside,

(01:01:18):
like I said, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer at track House
Bar and Grill while on the campaign trail and the
critical swing state of Michigan, and she says, we need
to move ground among men, and she could be heard
saying in a low voice to Whitmer, not thinking about
everyone privy to the conversation, because there's microphones everywhere. And

(01:01:39):
then she realized just before the Democrats saw the microphones,
they were like, oh wait, oh crap, there's microphones everywhere,
and uh yeah, because I guess she needs to win
over men and I have a quote here, and then,
of course the press always wants to know what kind
of beer they're drinking, because that's what good journalists do.
So I think this is cut five. Kma Harris caught

(01:02:03):
on an open mic talking to Michigan Governor Gretchen Wittmer
at the track House Bar and Grill in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
Oh we have Mike listening to everything. Oh I didn't
realize that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Okay, well afterwards, so I just told all the family.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Favorite, By the way, what do you think that they're drinking?
What kind of beer?

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
Uh, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Bells, Bells,
bells overrun, Bell's overon.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Huh, I'm gonna go with the high life. But okay,
you can go by light. So Chad's going with Oberon.
I'm going with the high Life because that's what she
was drinking on the Late Show. And then, uh, by light,
here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
I'm having what she's having. It's an Oberon right here.

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
And Kalama Zoo were calling Kamala Zoo.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Er, you're right enjoying an operon.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
I gotta I gotta give Kamala Harris some credit here.
I don't know if she's just pandering or or it
just you know what it is. But I think she's
made three very pronounced visits with beer in her hands.
She was out, whether it was the Seth Meyers Show
and uh and then now with Gretchen Whitmer, and then

(01:03:33):
there was another time she was out at another brewery drinking.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
I think she's a beer drinker. She's a beer drinker. Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
Well, either that or she is just playing the part,
because if you watch the drink, it doesn't drink at all.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
If you watch the clip, she drinks it like a
beer drinker. She just grabs the pint and takes a
sip out of You know, some people when they're you know,
pretend to be a beer drinker, they just kind of
sip it like it's hot coffee or hot tea. Right, No,
she just takes a big old swig of it. But
apparently they're talking about how they're trying to move ground
with the men because you know, Trump is winning the

(01:04:08):
polls with h when it comes to mail voters. So yeah,
Kamala Harris caught on a hot mic cursing of all things.
You know, say, yeah, But like I said, when you
ever you're around a microphone, you just gotta be careful
what you're saying because you never know who's gonna be
listening to, and you never know those mikes are hot either.
But apparently she was just too comfortable. She just didn't

(01:04:29):
realize that mikes were hot. So there you go. Yeah,
I'm feelings she's a beer drinker. She obviously doesn't want
to openly admitt it because you know she's on the
campaign trail. But I think she's a I think she's
a beer drinker.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
I couldn't tell if she was asked about the beer
or foreign policy, because she giggled. Well, it was the
same giggle either way.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
She was kind of I think she's not. I think
she was embarrassed that she realized they were caught on
a hot mic.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
I am not. I am not stating a political opinion.
I'm making an observation. She giggles when she's nervous. All right, anyway, Uh, well,
sticking with the political here, I'm gonna go ahead, and
I'm gonna go ahead and tell you I'm gonna insert
a little bit of my own notes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
This is just us being objective. We do this story
and we're gonna transition to this story.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go ahead, and
I'm gonna give you this story here and then equal time.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
Equal time, guys.

Speaker 5 (01:05:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Conservative beer company known for their Ultra right beer, launched
in twenty twenty three. In response to the bud Light
transgender influence controversy. They have introduced the anti Woke Beer
as a way of making sure that you can support
anti woke establishments and drink anti woke beer without giving

(01:05:42):
your money to those wark woke corporations. But wait, there's more,
because they've officially announced they are expanding their product line
to include tequila. They are getting into the tequila market
and announced it with a parody commercial that took place

(01:06:03):
in the Nevada Desert and I'm and I and I'm
I'm just gonna say this right now. I got a
little problem with this. The name of their tequila is
called border Wall t qui La, and it's spelled t
e e k e e l a a A, so

(01:06:25):
when you say it, it's like border Wall tequila, but
it's not spelled classically. And furthermore, it is one hundred
percent agave additive free. Okay, I like that. It's like
the sound of that bottled and ready to ship. Well,
you know, we'll see, because they had problems shipping their beer,

(01:06:45):
maybe they'll have problems with this. But uh. The conservative
dad character played by owner Seth Weathers in their parody
commercial meets up in a quote unquote desert there on
the border with his mex can counterpart, Conservator.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Baa, which is if you watch the commercial, just him,
it's him in acting with a Spish accent, very stereotypical
Mexican character.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
It is very Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
I mean he's got a poncho and a sombrero and
it's everything it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
I mean, it's cultural appropriation at its worst.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
I was gonna play a clip of it and I
was like, no, no, we're not playing this clip.

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
Eighties Yeah, the spaghetti westerns exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Right, right right. And then yeah he said, he says
in the commercial and again this is cringe worthy, but
he says, only bringing the best across the border, Like, no,
this is so cringey. I know we're reporting facts here

(01:07:57):
because this is what was said, but I'm inserting my
own editorial.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
Please tell me there's a good quote in there.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
That is, I want conservatives to have an alternative to
the woke corporations when deciding on their next purchase. Imagine
pulling out a bottle of Conservative Dad's Border Wall de
Guila to celebrate election night with family and friends.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
I knew there was a quote. There's always a quote
when it comes with a press release from Ultra Right, you.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
Know, only bringing the best across the border. I'm like,
this is so like it just it's stereotypical name because
it's named after how somebody might in a classic you know,
how we would portray a Spanish accent in the movies
like no, don't do that. And it's spelled phonetically. And

(01:08:45):
then conservative counterpart to Conservative Dad, Conservator Papa.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
And I'm like, no, no, have you watched the video?
Have you watched the commercial?

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
I watched it once and I bought lost my mind.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
So they meet in the Nevada desert and it looks
like a drug deal is going on, yes, but instead
of you know, being drugs, it's just tequila and in
a brown bag.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
It's so bad. Yeah, sorry, I'm sorry, I'm inserting my look.
I'm sure it's wonderful tequila. And if you want to
support it, knock yourself out.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
But oh people will buy it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Oh, of course they will. I mean, but I just
I you're not winning friends with this one. You're not
changing you're not going to change hearts. Well, I think
we do.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
In the political the election coming at election just a
week away. I mean, they're taking their gloves off and
they're doing everything they can. Just let's just go. And
he says that, Yeah, to celebrate election night with friends
and family. They're already mean, they're just they're they're they're confident,
they're confident.

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:45):
So we have a Kamala Harris caught on a hot mic,
and now we have a conservative beer company expanding the
product line with what they're calling the perfect drink and
a Boor theme parody video in.

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
A very poorly done cultural appropriation.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
Yeah, all right, we gotta take a break. Coming up
in the last segments, let's talk about brewers. Yeast and
I got a couple of feel good stories. All this

All right, So last segment for the got a.

Speaker 1 (01:12:00):
Couple of stories of good too before we get out
of here. I got some stories to make you feel
nice and toasty inside. That's you know, I'm gonna leave
you feeling good. Anything that. Dave Ward, longtime broadcaster here
in Houston Market, taught us, all right, Chad, what.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
Do you want to save the environment?

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
Now, let's talk about this. What can't brewers yeast do?
Because last week we talked about how apparently brewers use
can make cancer cells go to sleep. Yeah. Yeah, having
all sorts of things thinks of science.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
All right, well, I'm gonna just tell you this right now.
The uh we did a story a while back on
how Brewers East could be used to separate lead from
drinking water.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
That I'm telling you that Brewers East is a magical,
magical thing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
That's right. I've tried pouring it on my head. It
has not regrown hair. That does not work. However, you
can now take electronic waste and separate the toxic heavy
metals from it. Now. See the thing is is separating
electronic waste that you know, the good from the bad
really hard to do because it's it's quote unquote heterogeneous.

(01:13:03):
And there's a new paper that's out and it's published
in the in Frontiers and Bioengineering and Biotechnology magazine, which
I get all of their issues of course delivered right
to here to my house. You still subscribe to Frontiers
and Bioengineering and Biotechnology.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
Every every month. I got. I can't wait. I wait
for the mailbox. I'm like, please, mail man, please let
this be the day I get my new magazine.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
I love it. I love it when they send out
the swimsuit calendar hang that up every time and is
just as fantastic. But now they're they're announcing that spent
berers yeast can be used as a way of separating
the heavy metals which cause environmental and atmospheric pollution from
all technology waste. How do they do it?

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
I could bore you to tears with a three day
seminar because there are a lot of people out there
smarter than us who do this, and I can read
the report just like everyone else. So I encourage you
to get your own copy of Frontiers and Bioengineering and
Biotechnology magazine and read it, or just trust us that
whenever they take all of this electronic and technological uh,

(01:14:05):
technological waste, they throw it in a vat of brewers
yeast and it somehow separates them. Don't ask me how,
It's just science.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
I'm just sitting here thinking to myself, how how did
they figure that out?

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
How does a magazine like Frontiers and Bioengineering and Biotechnology
not have more subscribers.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
I'm telling you, like, if we just need to get
them like a dozen more, I don't know what we're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
I'm just saying I am not going to go into
the no, they actually explained the process, and I am
not going to do it because we care about ratings.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
It's one of those things that when you read you
see a headline, you're like, oh, that's interesting. You're talking
about Brewers Yeast separating, you know, electronic way whatever it is.
You're like oh, and then you click on the story,
you start reading, and you're like, oh, yeah, I've been
off more than I could chew.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
You're going right to sleep.

Speaker 4 (01:14:58):
You're like, what, just if we can get a more subscribers,
maybe they can get us some more listeners.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
Hopefully. Yeay, we scratched our backs, scratch ours.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Great, we got we got them tens of thousands of
new subscribers, and we got five new listeners, and those
are nerds.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
I'm down for a nerd. I don't care. I'm cool
with that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
That's right. If you're a nerd and you're listening right now,
we love.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
You, Yeah, we do actually love you. We love everybody
that listens to this show. Whatever you're into. We're just
glad you're enjoying the show, and we hope that you are.
We hope that you would come back. But a couple
of things, a couple of stories I do want to
get to because I like to end the show in
a high note. This is goals right here, Chad goals
right here. There's a group of guys in England that

(01:15:46):
have met up for drinks for almost every Thursday since
nineteen sixty eight. And they're all in their eighties now
and they've missed very few hangout sessions over the years,
and so they always meet at the same pub every Thursday.
And they've been doing this since nineteen sixty eight. That's
some goals right there.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
Yeah, that sounds like what we used to do at
the Byg with beer Mark and Chad.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
And I hope that they do. I hope that they do.
I mean people may have moved on and people have
come along, but yeah, beer with Mark and Chad, well
now just beer with Mark and Mario. I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
There's the name drump.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
But yeah, friends have met over a pint every Thursday
for fifty six years. And here's a clip of them
just talking about weekly meetup. And this has cut three guys.

Speaker 6 (01:16:34):
I bet we haven't missed in fifty six years. I
bet we haven't missed twenty five Thursday nights. We're down
to seven or eight now. Look still meet every week.
We don't do emotional type stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
I think you should. We talk about our intimate illnesses.

Speaker 6 (01:16:49):
And this glee club started with soccer and sex we discussed,
and now we talk about pensions and prosperity.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
How many times you know you can't the toilet?

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
Yeah, these guys rule. Oh man, don't these guys sound
like they are a fun group to hang out with? Again,
these friends have been meeting over a pint for over
fifty six years. That was really cool?

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
All right?

Speaker 6 (01:17:20):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Speaking of cool, this is also another feel good story.
This is a story that's come out of New York.
And I'm gonna go and queue this. Hey, guys, go
ahead and get cut seven queued up? All right. So
a woman in upstate New York found a new kidney
out of all places, a bar. Yeah, Kate Marsha's has
been on analysis for years. And she walked into a

(01:17:42):
place called a tavern on the Mall to grab takeout,
and the owner asked everyone at the bar what their
blood type was, and a local teacher turned out to
be a match. And so here's Kate and her donor,
Allison Quilos, talking about their story again. Let's run that cut.

Speaker 5 (01:17:59):
Is anybody here positive? I got a friend that needs
a kidney, and my husband and I both said we're
a positive. Not only the same blood type, we have
the same tissue type, and we had common genetic markers too,
and we're not related.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
There's just so much life to live.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
She gave me.

Speaker 3 (01:18:15):
She didn't know me.

Speaker 5 (01:18:17):
We have to be there for each other through the
highs and the lows.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Yeah, she's incredible.

Speaker 5 (01:18:22):
I couldn't not ask for aboutter donor.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
So how about that? A woman on dallass finds a
kidney donor at a bar. You know, these people get
on these these these lists for years and years, these
waiting lists trying to find, you know, get a donor.
And here she was just taking takeouts at a at
a bar, and when she met a teacher who happened
to be the same blood type and everything, and she

(01:18:45):
was able to find herself a kidney. How about that?
I need the show on a high note, Chad Man.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
That's a feel good story.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
I told you, you know, like we have so much
you know, angry politics, especially with the election coming up,
it's just nice to take a step back and go,
you know what, there is still some good happening in
the world. But I am really jealous of these friends
in England who had just been meeting up and you know,
you heard what they said. It started talking about you know, sex,
drugs and rock and roll, and now it's talking about

(01:19:12):
retirement pensions and you know whose wife died recently.

Speaker 2 (01:19:16):
You know, I found it interesting that they were talking
about that. We talk about how many times you get
up in the night and this was not planned, but
how many times you get up in the night to
use the toilet because they're talking about their prostate. And
then we round out the show with somebody who's going
to be able to continue to use the toilet because
they got a new kidney.

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
That's what we mean.

Speaker 4 (01:19:36):
It's a great place to find a kidney too, because
it's probably already pre alcohol tolerant.

Speaker 2 (01:19:42):
See there you go, it's our Yeah, it's it's it's trained.
All right with that, it's time to put a bowl
on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
Yeah, they were playing us out. But before we do,
before we do, we gotta think our sponsors, thinking our advertisers,
