Speaker 2 (05:10):
We will see you there. Don't miss that show, all right,
I got some sports stories for great sports Talk.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I believe I heard deep press. When I read this,
I just got depressed. Well that's not good. I don't
know what it's going to look like. I don't know
what's going to happen. I have somebody to be dead, honest. Well,
I talk to people all the time, Matt, every day
right here. Uh, I really don't know what it's going
to be like. And nobody knows what the college football
season is going to be like. Teams are very different.

(05:48):
Everybody's in a different conference. There's a lot of question marks.
Washington sitting around talking about we've been to the playoffs
the last two years. We've done this, this, this and this,
but we've had more turnover than anybody in college foot
It's like, well, which one is it?

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Fish?

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Are you licking your identity? Toto bor I forgot it's fish.
It's fish. And they're into Big ten Oregon. Orgon has
Dylan Gabriel.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
He's a great quarterback and they have a great setup
on their offensive defensive fronts. Organ's the real deal on paper. Yeah,
well that's what people think. And then everything else. No
one knows what UCLA is going to be like with
their new coach in California, Lincoln Riley's.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Trying to figure it out. They are in LA.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
It's the MNSC Arizona, Arizona State, in the Big twelve, Utah, Colorado,
and the Big twelve coach products pissed off at the media,
freaking out. Man, he's on tilt. He is freaking out,
wearing his Dickey's overalls that is eye washed cars, white
outfit from car wash. But either way, I saw this

(06:53):
story and it depressed me. This one, UCLA students will
have an expanded seating locations for what is called the
Den along the East sideline at the Rose Bowl beginning
in the twenty twenty four much anticipated UCLA football season.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Ill of a home schedule that Indiana. I mean, come
on and stud the Hoosiers play football out there. No, L,
most people have.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
You see some panics highlights from before he transferred to Washington.
UCLA students in sections two through six are going to
be closer to the fifty yard line behind the opponent bench.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Oh, I like it. Hackle them.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
This expansion of the student section will allow at least
a thousand of UCLA's most enthusiastic Asian students No that's
not in there, to be located directly on along the
east sideline. With this move, you know randall L you're punk,
Say twenty year old guy does a hands one rand

(07:56):
You know rand punk him from Alhambra. UCLA will be
the only school in the Big Ten with a student
section behind their opponent, improving home field advantage in fan experience.
When I read that, I read it more like this.
UCLA will be the only school in the Big Ten
with an empty student section directly behind their opponent. Tough

(08:20):
to improve home field advantage in fan experience. When you
have no home field advantage and you have no fans, it's.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Weird because it's in such close proximity to the university
and is so easy to get to.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well, this is a problem. They're not in school when
the season starts, because they're on the Quarner.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Systems typically like two games.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Even if those four, yeah, even if they are in school,
who's going to show up because you're at the Rose
Bowl and it's hot and then at night it's freezing.
But the president of the den.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Oh they have a president. Yeah. I thought that the
den leader. Cubs got style.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
I thought they were decimated by the protests. I thought
they were collateral damage. When see that the den went
down when.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
The Israeli guys started doing the high kicks. Oh the fireworks,
Oh god, it's over. He said.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
By moving closer to the action, our new student section
will further elevate the in game experience for students and
student athletes. Alight, every eight clap will mean back that
much more and give our bruins not even stronger home
field advantage. So Matt, I've a I'm looking at the yea,

(09:32):
I got it right here for you. I got the
oh yeah, there we go. I got the map and
I have it pointed at where they're going to be.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
I see that's good. I mean that's prime ceding, that
is prime seeding, are going to be right here. I'd
like to think, what do they got at UCLA? Thirty
thousand undergrad I'm guessing thirty five thousand undergrad that's.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
What thirty thousand from Japan? Fifteen rows maybe thousands. Yet,
I mean, I see you can buy a den pass,
you can buy your Router bus as I mean, fler
stay up to date at UCLA the dan on Instagram.
I mean, I'll say this, USC has a student section.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah. Yeah, they totally do UCLA right there.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well yeah, I mean and they're and they're actually in school. Yeah,
they're in school. And it's a thing to go to
football games at USC. It is not at UCLA, and
it hasn't been since they fired Bob Toledo. It's a problem.
So I don't know if de Sean Foster is rousing
speech at the Big Ten tournament, problem at the Big
Ten Media Day.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
We're in La so is USC. I'm just excited I'm
just excited, so look forward to that.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Ethan Garber's is excited that the students are going to
be there, heckling the Indiana guys. Where's Norman Dale? How
many times are getting passed the ball before you shoot it?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Four? You're no a gooonlea hey, defensive guy? You know
a goonlier? Did you see this story?

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Notre Dame is suspending the entire men's swimming program for
a whole minimum of one year. If you swim at
Notre Dame, you've been hooked. What did they do getting pulled.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Out of the water? What do you think they did?

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Dambling? Matt hazing, All of swimming is hazing. Gambling, yes, gambling. Oh,
I'm shocked, shocked. It's hard to gamble. Widespread gambling issue
that violated NCAA rules. Athletic director Pete Pavaqua, and I'd
send a freaking limo to pick that guy up, said

(11:45):
a deeply embedded team culture, dismissive of Notre Dame standards
for student athletes. Those standards include dying in a tower,
shooting a football practice. That's how dedicated he get.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
That scissor lyft and shoot practice.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
But I need it but I might die, so we
need we need the tape. We got team period. The
Notre Dame swim team was informed of the stunning suspension
Thursday afternoon. Sources tell Sports Illustrated the timing will enable
athletes wishing to transfer to transfer because school starts August

(12:24):
twenty seventh.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I assume that's going to be across the board transfer.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Now. Look, if you know college athletics or have an
involvement with it from a top to bottom type of standpoint,
you know that nobody gets looser than the swim team.
Those people are crazy, crazy, man. They're good looking, they
wear almost nothing. There's chicks and there's dudes. They work
out mostly twice a day and they stare at that

(12:48):
weird line at the bottom of the pool all day.
They go nuts, and the Notre Dame men's team effectively
went nuts, creating their own sports book for the purpose
of wagering on their swimming performances.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
The majority of the team is different.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Majority of the team is seen is believed to have
placed bets over Underlines were established for swimmers times in
certain races, with wagers being placed on the outcomes. There
are no known gambling companies that take wagers or produce
Betting lines on college is not.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
The dumbest suspension of her. There's a bunch of guys
getting together and betting each other.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
You cannot do this because they said it influenced the
outcomes of their own games.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
This guy was really financially motivated.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Eligibility issues for Notre Dame swimmers who place those kinds
of wagers will follow them to other schools should they.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Decide to transfer. Well, I guess so much transfer.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
You're that guy that bet on his over under right,
And in addition to the athletic department suspension of the program,
individual swimmers may be you know, like Jimmy fish Eyes,
the number one swimmer, and Notre Dame the guy that
held the book. That's the guy that's really going down.
Benny Bluegill, Hey, I like Benny Bluegill for the butterfly

(14:06):
under six times. Okay, Peter Pike, that's the story. No more,
Notre Dame been swimming for a whole year.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
That sucks. We gotta meet with Notre Dame. No you don't.
You're going to South Bend Community College. What about the ladies?
Oh yeah, they're still going Saint Mary's they're there.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
They're they're big though, some big girls in the pool.
I'll tell you that it's like a hungry, hungry pull
that sucks. Yeah, I mean, I guess it's influenced performance.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm just wondering. You're just kind of setting up a
book for just the swim.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Team stipend day at usc you know, I know we
didn't have nil, but we set up a roulette wheel
and a lot of dice, and people would lose their
whole stipend just on that first day and then they'd
have to go out and rob somebody at the ATM.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
That's right, and we were we were all eligible all
the time.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
We'll be back with three things Thursday next Thank you
everybody for listening to Petros and Money. Dodgers lose Tomorrow
will be flexed back two o'clock, two to four. We'll
go Dodgers on deck at four, first pitch at five
point fifteen. That's tomorrow tonight, Matt and I. We'll go

(15:17):
all the way till seven, and we'll see you a
week from tonight at the final stop of the twenty
twenty fourth night Petros and Monday Summer Tour, the best
one at the Van's Headquarters with the custom shoes and
the band and all the crazy prizes. That's Thursday, a
week from today, Thursday, starting at three August twenty second,
at the Van's Headquarters in Beautiful Coast to Mesa.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
So we will see you there.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
But right now it's time for Three Things Thursday on.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Three Thingsters. Well you know, and it's not close that
Petro said money was and really still is despite its cancelation.
The Nick Show of reck.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Who doesn't love the Nick? Clive Owen, I never watched
an episode, but Matt was really into the Knick, really
into the Nick liquid cocaine. Think about a season and
a half, I want to say, like the second season
they pulled the plug. I feel like it was a
really short, like four episode season, and I'm like, I
think they just pulled the plug on this thing, which

(16:29):
is a damn shame. And you wouldn't stayed at that hotel.
You went and stayed at the Knickerbocker.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
And really, I really, I really leaned into doctor Thackeray,
his cocaine addiction, his ex wife who lost her nose
to syphilis because he was sleeping around and somehow he
didn't lose his nose, but she lost her nose two seasons.
There we go. It's a damn Shane, a damn shank.

(16:54):
So anytime news comes up about the Nick, I feel
as though it's the Petro. Some money shows responsibility to
report on it. The Nick is big news. Nick is
big news. If he wants back in the game, Coach
Jim Harbaugh has offered the Nick Colin Kaepernick.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
You got twenty episodes of the Nick. Okay, you know what,
nine years ago. That's how long the Nick ago.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
You know what. Colin Kaepernick has not taken a snap
in seven years, so it's been like almost If he
can keep his quarterback playing dreams alive, I can keep
my The Nick is coming back.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Let's bring back the Nick dream aline And they brought
arrested Development back for people like that.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Right, Let's bring the Nick back. I'm gonna we're in Hollywood.
They're just green lighting shows all over the place out here. Absolutely,
it's freaking great. Body's flying around like never before. If
the Nick wants back in the game, coach Jim Harbaugh
says he has offered him a spot and it still stands.
And while I appreciate his want and desire to chase

(17:53):
the playing dream and not to stop playing until you
absolutely have to. Did he absolutely have to stop plan
when he stopped being invited to NFL teams ten years ago?
But you know, Pee, there is no call, there's no
going back. Once you decide to stop playing, you can't
go back to playing, and you don't want to let
that dream die. But I would assume Colin Kaepernick the

(18:13):
Nick saw Martavis Bryan out of the league for like
six years because of drugs, six years, and the commanders
were like, come to drain king position. He played wide receiver. Okay,
get on in here. How's the drug habit? All right,
let's see what happens. Come on in So maybe he
saw the six years of Marteves Bryant back in camp

(18:34):
here in twenty four with the commanders at thirty two.
Maybe it's possible. Then Nick is thirty six, soon to
be thirty seven, has not taken a snap since twenty sixteen.
When will this story end? Listen? He got delta bad hand,
all right? Twenty seventeen. You're telling me when you include
backups and at least ten teams are carrying three quarterbacks,

(18:56):
you're telling me he's not one of the seventy four
best quarterbacks in the world. He should have been on
a roster, not according to the NFL, So I understand
him wanting to chase that trick. I guess the market
sets itself, but it's gonna be pretty tough to take
seven years off and get back under center and take
some snacks. So coach instead tried to get him back

(19:16):
into the.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Game because he's got a real long time experience as
a coach.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Kaepernick though well, according to coach Arba, and he has
populated his staff with former players. Navarro Bowman is the
linebackers coach, Jonathan Goodwin is an assistant, Mike you Potti,
DeShawn Goldson, will Tukuafu, and he said when he extended
invitations to all those guys, now Bowman, he hired it
as his linebacker's coach. The other guys are kind of

(19:42):
player coaches. See. He said that he did in fact
offer Colin Kaepernick quote, he'd be a tremendous coach. If
that's the path he chooses, he's considering it. He was
out of the country, he said he was going to
get back to me. He's one of my favorite players
that I have ever coached love Colin haven't heard from him,

(20:03):
so extended the offer. You want to get back in
the game, maybe coaching is the path that you should
take now, could wash his hands like partius pilot. Harbaugh
said it out of the country, Amanda Peterson style. Was
he really out of the country? Bet your assi was
London Sky Sports the Evil four Letter of London, the

(20:25):
ESPN of London caught up with the nick by Fox
as he was exactly, well, I guess, but they are
the dominant brand. I believe there's there's Sky. I think
so Sky tracked him down and they're like cat Colement
and he did quote, I think being back on the

(20:49):
field would be a major moment, a major accomplishment for me.
I think it's something that I could bring a lot
to a team and help them win a championship back
on the field. Back on the field. Yeah, that does
not as a coach, that doesn't sound right. Harbaugh did
add a tip of the cap and said heroes get

(21:12):
no days off, and he's being a hero right now
and he's not getting any days off. It's not for
me to choose what path he takes. That's his decision.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
I don't want to roll my eyes too hard, because
like it's an open invitation, I might fall over.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
I'm sorry. Now, I did bring up the Kaepernick when
Herbert got hurt, saying you want a guy that knows
the system. You did, Matt Roman, did coach him up. Look,
I mean you're on record too, Matt. I hope it
works out for you guys. But I would guess the
injury isn't too serious or they would have traded for
someone by now. They would have got somebody's third string
quarterback that could probably play in this system. You mean,

(21:50):
not Colin Kaepernick. Not Colin Kaepernick. So I assume Herbert
will be fine for Week one. And in that case,
I don't know, maybe you don't want Colin Kaepernick around
us your backup quarterback. Maybe that might be a little
bit of a destruction. But what do I know.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
I don't know, or a coach or even a guess
at your practice, because that's a distraction.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
We'd be out there broadcasting live stay over there in London. Hey,
we're the nick Show of Records Chargers Saturday versus the Rams.
A few things to keep an eye on. I gotta
wear that weird, that weird nose, that looks over your
ears from the nick. A couple of things to keep
an eye on could be the debut of Junior Colson.

(22:29):
He was back at practice this week. H Quinton Johnston
and where he sits in the wide receiver rotation, was
working as a gunner on special teams.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
And they got four new bodies, five new bodies going
to this game. They just signed defensive tackle tier Tart,
Savvian Jackson chat quarterman, linebackers. Somebody I believe you're familiar
with from his Stanford playing days. Tucker Fisk tight end, fullback,
defensive end, combo barely who has the largest calves? Now,
I have the skinniest lake known demand. So when I

(23:01):
see someone that has those kind of calves, I get
incredibly envious. And it really caught me by supprise help.
He makes the team and the man who set the record.
And if you want to hold a combine record, of
all the records to hold, this is the one you
want set the combine record for the fastest ten yards split.
Isaiah Woulden receiver Southern Utah is now on the team.

(23:25):
Ten yards split Isaiah wouldn't holds the record now. Second
thing I probably could have pulled fifty of these, but
will settle on three. Robert Griffin is out. Yeah, he
must have done something. You think he was supposed to
be ESPN's Charles Bark. Yeah, but now I'm worried that

(23:47):
Fox is going to hire him. He was gifted Monday
night countdown and quickly worked his way out of that.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
People said that Jalen Hurts couldn't get it done, he
couldn't operate from the pocket.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
He's not the quarterback of the few. I think he
proved all those strong probably don't want to use a
racial slur on national television leading into a Monday night
game national broadcast for the National Football League. We should
be envelope. But they promoted the hell out of him.
They pushed him as the next great college football analyst.
He was going to be Herb Street. He was corny.

(24:22):
His call wasn't great. Corny like vodka, you certainly want
to have energy and bring energy.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Well, I thought he had a lot of potential, but
I thought he took the wrong path. But then again,
I'm calling Wyoming Arizona State in a couple of weeks, like,
what do I know?

Speaker 2 (24:39):
What do I know? Yeah, I don't know anything. And
you weren't paired with Mark Jones. No, I probably wouldn't
survive if I was paired with him either. It was
a disaster as the two tried like hell to out
street cred one another on every broadcast. It was tough,
Like in this moment touchdown, that was an orgy.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
He makes the read and what do you know, guys,
it's an orgy in the end zone.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
I could handle that one better than big Penix energy
and beating up the beaver.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Over and over. As I said, we could have pulled
fifty of these. Of course, though, if you really want
to endear yourself to the suits in the corner offices,
make sure when you're using your similes the best ones
involve Jesus.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Who you want to see a defense that's playing like
their hairs on fire.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Look at everybody, flow into.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
The football, get your hat to the ball. Don't give
him an opportunity to use those sweet feet to potentially
get a first down. The coverage was there. They lifted
that man up to the sky like he was Jesus
letting them know they're gonna put him on the cross
right there.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Wow, Yeah, I don't think that's what he was doing. Wow,
that's right. Wow, good news for Robert making over a
million dollars a year, probably multiple millions. Still had two
years left on his deal, so he's got a lot
of money coming to him too. Not work, not working. Uh,
it was cut day at ESPN. Sam Ponder also got

(26:16):
the boot. Was never a fan thirty years of Chris
Berman until they kicked him to the curb. And hey
did Boomer lose his fastball in twenty sixteen When you're
making Ario Speedwagon and foreigner references have maybe the times
passed you by him? Still make those references here? It

(26:36):
is act where thin maybe, But to replace him with
Ponder instead of Susie Colber, if you had to go
the female, right, they're out come on. So now Ponder
is out. I would imagine we already know who's in
twenty twelve's Miss Florida finished thirteenth in the twenty twelve
Miss America pageant. Laura Rutledge, who currently hosts NFL Daily. Well,

(27:02):
likely that's where my mind wead the promotion. My immediately
to Rutledge, I did have to look up who she
lost Miss America to. Miss New York. As a matter
of fact, won that year a young lady by the
name of Malory Hagen. Congratulations to her. Finally in your
third thing, pe a couple hits on the Raiders and
the Rams. Raiders. DeVante Adams was asked about playing in

(27:22):
the preseason, quote, if I'm choosing, I'm not playing. He
has not played in the preseason since twenty seventeen. Antonio Piers,
old school coach, tough guy coach. Let it be known
that everybody was playing in this upcoming preseason game, including
all of his starters. He was then asked specifically about
DeVante Adams, who said he prefers not to play in
the preseason and has not in six years, to which

(27:45):
he replied, no, if you're healthy, you will play, okay.
And finally, the Rams. You trying to sow nefarious seeds
with the Raiders, Matt, No, that's a story. I mean,
that's a story. That's a story. No, I get it. Yeah,
that's a story that's going around. Sure, got it. The
Rams should have had the joint practice with the Bolts. Instead,
they go to the Cowboys camp. Albert Huggins, who was

(28:07):
just signed like a week ago and is probably somewhere
between player eighty five and ninety roster.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
While trying to avoid some kind of traffic issue with
the Chargers camp. The Rams hurt themselves by traveling.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
To the nard. They did during one on ones where
regularly we saw it yesterday with Jim Harbaugh. He was
playing the role of quarterback in the one on ones
offensive line versus defensive line. There was an intern dude
in like a dry fit and some merril hiking shoes
or something standing back there acting as the quarterback, and

(28:43):
Albert Huggins clearly after the whistle you'll hear McVeigh scream
after the contact of a defensive lineman in full pads
blowing up this intern and shoving him a good three
to four yards in the air to the ground.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Hey uh.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
He was escorted off the field by coach McCarthy, kicked
out of practice and cooler heads prevailed. But that was
McVeigh that you heard. Their Well, the camp upsets people.
People lose their temper and camp it just goes to
show you how much bigger and stronger football players are
than your stand I'm sure the coaching interns, probably a
former player or something. He flew like two to three yards,

(29:33):
probably didn't see it coming.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
No, you.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
That's like a car accident. You got to make your
body go limited know his body was definitely limb.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
So there we go.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
RG three is not to be the greatest broadcaster in
ESPN history. There was a fight between the Rams and
the cowboys at the Nard and the Nick. Everybody said
the right things, but nothing's gonna happen with Colin Kaepernick. Everybody, sorry,
what about the show? That's why we did the story.
What about the show? You think we canet the showback?

(30:01):
Hollywood going to greenlight the return of the Nick after
a nine year absence. It's a Soderbird, right, I mean
Clive Owen Soderberg kid. Those are your guys, Matt. I
mean you know you're the Hollywood hitter, right, NFA guy,
What do you want?

Speaker 2 (30:14):
I want happen for season three? That's what I want.
Tell Harbaugh. P. We are exactly one week out, one week, Matt.
One week from tonight, one week from tonight, the finale
of the twenty twenty four Petros and Money Summer Tour.
It will conclude at the Van's headquarters in Coasta, Mesa.

(30:36):
And we're very excited about our next guest.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
We got vodka. Matt We've brought a vodka sponsor in
Thank God. You know, back in the day when we
had vodka sponsors, they were foreign sponsors. But now we
found one that's blue blooded America, blue Eyes vod Gon
to be exact, Thomas Gibson. We're excited to have Blue

(30:59):
Eyes Vodka join us for the sixth and final Petroson
Money Summer Tour stop at the van's headquarters. Like you said,
there will be blue Eyes Vodka, the best American made
potato vodka there is.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
I'm a huckleberry.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
There is a huckleberry and an espresso. It'll be passed
out and available for all of our greatness. The CEO
of Blue Eyes Vodka joins us now Matt to tell
us about the vodka game and the city. To see you,
Dot and beyond. Thomas Gibson on your soak out Toyota
Dealer's celebrity hotline.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
What's cracking? Thomas, Welcome to the show. How are you, sir?

Speaker 5 (31:34):
Thank you for having me. You guys are like you
know God to me, what can you do forever? So
this is something to be able to talk to Petrison Money.
If I would have known this, I was going to
get on the radio.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Just like anything in America, you throw a little money
at it, you just can't believe what happens. Name your price.
Look at us Thomas. You know potato vodka. I always
thought that's what vodka was made out of. Is there
any other kind of vodka other than potato vodka? And
what makes the Blue Eyes so unique with their potatoes?

Speaker 5 (32:03):
Great question, petros I will tell you most of the
vodka Maine nowadays made from corn because it's a lot,
lot huper. But the problem is with corn is it's
you know, it's genetically modified, it's you know, there's just
a floodsheaper to do it. But we do it out
of potatoes because with potatoes you get a soft, silky,

(32:23):
just a really smooth vodka. And we think it's the
only way to really make it. We're the only ones
really doing it in the United States are really making
a potato vodka because we're stupid because it's a lot
more expensive, to be honest with you, but it gives
you a great, smooth vodka.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
How do you how do you decide to get into
the business. I'm going to get into the vodka business.
That's what I'm gonna do.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Well, we probably spend some time selling Colowna in Russia
for a tell us.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Thamas, Well we will.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
We got into the vodka business because we wanted to
have the best American vodka. And we were from Idaho originally,
so we wanted to do it with you know, the
the land and everything that we have. And in Idaho,
what do you grow? You grow potatoes, and we thought, well,
we're from Idaho, we love potatoes. Let's make the smoothest
vodka we possibly can. And that's really how we got

(33:10):
into it was just a labor of love, to be
honest with you.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
So how do you decide we mentioned at the top there,
the huckleberry, the double espresso, how do you decide what
flavors you're going to do? What flavors you think? You know,
let's get in our lane. Let's find that lane. The
American population demands huckleberry vodka. How do you come up
with that?

Speaker 5 (33:28):
So the stay for of Idaho is huckleberry, okay, and
guys they're crazy about anything huckleberry up there. So we thought,
let's make a vodka and let's infuse it with huckleberryes.
And it's just it's like a blueberry goes great with lemonade.
Out the tours stop. We're gonna have huckleberry lemonades for.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Everybody that's wonderful, including this.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
Other one is go of course. The other one is
the double Espresso that we just launched. This is really exciting,
So I'm gonna do one little plug for this little
time that I have here. We just won Vodka of
the Year for our double Espresso from the USA.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Is that caffeine in that thing, Thomas or is it
just coffee flavored?

Speaker 5 (34:06):
There's a little bit of caffeine. We use a rabbita
coffee in a rabbitica coffee bean, so there is a
little bit of caffeine in it, but not much. Most
of it gets distilled out. But it is so smooth.
It's got the perfect amount of coffee, it's got the
perfect amount of chocolate in it, and it is just delicious.
All you need to do is shake it up and
you know you. Espresso Martini is the biggest cocktail right now.

(34:26):
Everyone's loving them. Now you can make them at home
easy by just shaking im pouring fantastic.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
I'm gonna I like the idea of it neat in
a shot glass with that single coffee bean in the bottom.
You know, it's just a classic, classic, classy.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Class class and cloas to meson, why'd you guys name
why'd you guys name it blue Eyes because of the
Boise State blue turf?

Speaker 5 (34:47):
You know, I always wanted to get on that shmurve turf.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
No, trust me, I've been out there. It's not that impressive.
And you know what, they wouldn't let me bring my
coffee down there. Last time I did a game. They're like, sorry,
you kind of have any coffee. I was like, I'm working,
I work for TV. I'll bring my coffee whatever you want.
Want want my espresso, Martine.

Speaker 5 (35:03):
Honestly, they obviously don't know how big of a deal
you are. That's ridiculous. I mean that you can't bring
your coffee. It's ridiculous name because there you go a
whole little little flask. What we did is blue Ice
is the coldest, cleanest, clearest part of the glacier, and
that's why we named it blue ice. So that's the
ice turns blue all Ohington gets pushed out of it,

(35:24):
and we named it blue ice after the coldest, cleanest
part of the glacier. All Right, last week ultimately is
where we get our water.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Get the water from the glacier. The potatoes part, it's
all from America. Last thing for me, Thomas, how do
you drink yours? Like? If we hate, I want to
do what the pros do. So I'm gonna drink my
blue ice. I drank it, Thomas. I drink it with
Mark Ferman.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
It's from Iah. You guys are crazy. But the best
way that I drink it. I'm easy. I'm just so basic.
I just go soda with a little bit of lemon.
That's it. Sweet lemon and soda makes me happy.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Class high class twistle twist, not the wedge, Thomas. We
sure appreciate you, and hey, thank congratulations on your success
and your great company, your great American company, and thank
you for being part of the Petres and Money Summer Tour.
We hope to continue our relationship of drinking and celebration responsible.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
I love you guys. I appreciate it. I do appreciate it.
You seeing you guys on the twenty second.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yes, we're gonna see out there. You know what we're
gonna have. We're gonna have vodka, a little bit of soda,
twist a lemon little twist, little twist, we're gonna do together,
or you know we.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Espresso martiniz popular all over the place, a popular drink.
You know what, I don't need to go to some
bougie bob mix it at all.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
You know what, guys, how about I bring the sugar
and we all just have some lemon drops.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yes, who's in? You lost me?

Speaker 5 (36:44):
There?

Speaker 2 (36:44):
You lost you lost me? Right there? You lost me.
I'm too far.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
There might be some wives. Thank you, Thomas, and we
should appreciate you.

Speaker 5 (36:53):
Thank you, guys, appreciate it, and we'll.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
