Speaker 1 (00:01):
Good evening, everyone, Welcome to another edition of Watching Craft
Grew Talk podcast. I'm your host, mister Mike Jolly. Thank
you so much for listening. It's become commonplace where I
would used to say thanks for listening to me live
or you know, whether you're listening man, but you know,
ever since the thirty first of December of last year,
(00:22):
they took you know, my lives gone away. But thank
you so much for listening wherever you may be listening from,
whether you're listening here in the United States or you're
listening abroad. Thank you so much. I love you all.
Some things things just don't go according to plan. I
had bought a Portland Trail Blazers ipa from Rogue, but
(00:49):
they were canned in October of twenty twenty four. So
typically a beer is good from the time it's canned
for about four months and then it starts to go bad.
So I was going to review that. I mean, the
can looks great, et cetera, et cetera. So you know,
(01:15):
sometimes the best laid plans aren't always cool. But we
do have a backup plan. So tonight, as some of
you may know, I do love a good cider and
Portland Cider has a one that I haven't had yet.
(01:36):
This is their Pacific Berry made with Northwest marionberries, raspberries
and apples unite for a luscious cider. It's six six
and a half percent by ABV, very esthetically pleasing canned
(01:56):
here it has fresh Northwest apples and berries. Of course,
all pictures will go on the I call it the
Twitter machine X at Triple R product. You know, everything
will be posted as soon as this episode is finished.
Filming are recording filming? What am I thinking? I obviously
(02:20):
I am not thinking today. Let's do a little beer
asmr here. Oh that's a good one, so right off
the bat. Oh that's got some it's got some apples
to it. I can already tell and also smell berries.
(02:42):
So let's do a poor here. Almost looks like a juice.
But then again that's how most ciders are, especially if
they're you know, a type of a berry. Like if
you recall I did Portland Side had a grape concord
grape it looked like grape juice. I'm not going to
(03:05):
be able to get all of it in the Guinness glass.
I could try. Ooh, I think I just made it
so we're gonna take a picture of the poor. And
(03:31):
if you want to know anything about all the companies
that I do my reviews on, you can always check
out their websites or you can check on the you know,
the my X handle at Triple or product when I
tagged the tag the brewery, but doesn't have a website
(03:56):
on here. But again, it is actually pretty pretty gnarly,
looking pretty beautiful. I actually do like it. So it's
you know, it looks like it looks like a it
looks like a juice almost, and there's very very little
(04:17):
carbonation in it, typical for a cider. You know, when
you think of carbonation, you think of head. You think
of like an I P A or something you know,
made with hops, but cider's not so much fun. Fact,
you can actually make a half cider half I P A.
(04:38):
And what that does it it cuts down on the
happiness and the bitterness of the I PA but at
the same time it balanced. They make a balanced taste,
so you get, you know, a little bit of happiness,
a little bit of bitterness, but you also get that
(05:00):
weakness from the apples and whatever berry or whatever fruit
you know, you get orange or pumpkin or whatever. Fun fact,
I actually have had those many times in the past.
Oh excuse me, golly gee, whillakers just been coffin today
(05:26):
for some reason. But let's give this a let's give
this a We already give it the smell test. Look,
it smells pretty good. Let's give it a taste here.
So this is Portland Cider Company's Pacific Berry made with merrionberry,
raspberry and apples at six and a half on the
Richter scale in three, two and one. Here we go,
(05:49):
let's do it. Oh that is tasty. Oh my god,
that is tasty. Oh wow. You can really taste the
berries on the front end, but on the back end
(06:13):
you get those crisp that crisp apple taste. Ten out
of ten highly recommend. You know, typically I give five stars.
Not gonna lie. This is a good six and three
quarter star. Broke the star. You know. Portland Cider does
(06:34):
it again. They masterful, masterful ease of artistry that this
cider is. It's just so fantastic. And if you ever
get a chance to try anything that I review here,
I highly highly recommend that you do. I mean, you
(06:57):
won't be disappointed. It's like I always tell people, you know,
when I do my travels that if you want to
experience the full Northwest brew you know brew tour, start
off down in southern Oregon. You know, you got places
in Medford. Of course, you got Rogue and you know,
(07:19):
Nicassi and all those other ones down there. And then
you make your way up towards Portland, where you've got well,
you can't really go to Widmer Brothers anymore because they're closed,
but you've got like Portland Cider, You've got you know,
you got Hop Hopworks Urban Brewery, which are which badly
(07:39):
just closed their Vancouver location. Uh, Breakside of course, which
just opened a Vancouver location here in Vancouver, Washington a
pretty cool place, been there a couple of times. Now,
then of course you get into of course Southwest Washington
and Vancouver. We got LeWitt, We've got Brothers, Cascade, We've
(08:00):
got Breakside. A cool place to check out if you
ever come to Vancouver is a place called tap Union. Now.
Tap Union is a place that not only sells beers
and siders and wines and whatnot on tap, but they
also have a little store where you can buy different
types of beers, siders, wines, meads, etc. Et cetera. And
(08:26):
on your birthday, of course, with proof that is your birthday,
you get a thirty two stein full of whatever beer
you want on tap, absolutely free. I can attest to
this because I was there on my birthday. It's not
(08:47):
quite a month ago, and it was the first stop
on my beer crawl, I guess. Oh, and you can't
forget about Heathen Brewery here in Vancouver either. They've got
some really good, really good stuff. And then of course
if you gotta go up towards Seattle, you know, you know,
Battleground Seattle. You know, I'll go up to Bellingham, then back,
(09:11):
you know, double back and hit the coast. It hit
places like trem In the Dolls, et cetera, et cetera.
But just a lot to experience here as far as
a beer tour, highly recommend that you do it. You
will not be disappointed. But I'm gonna I do have
another surprise for you. I do have another brew for
(09:35):
us to bring you tonight. Sorry, folks, had go grab
it real quick. Sorry for the sudden silence, but this
(09:56):
one comes from an old brew for here in Portland,
the Widber Brothers, and this is their Apricot half a
vison or apricot wheat. Now this one, the can looks
absolutely amazing. Oh and of course you can check out
(10:22):
what they have at windber Brothers dot com. Only a
four point nine ABV but and these come in twelve
ounce cans. So when were these can? February twenty fifth,
So we're really well, I've been drinking them so all right,
(10:44):
so some beer, asmr. I'm two. Now this one's a
little bit frothier because it is a half a viison. Oh,
you've got the apricot smell. I wish I had a
glass to pour in, but I'm gonna drink a little
bit more of this cider real quick, all right, So
(11:13):
I don't have a glass to pour this in. I apologize,
So no poor picture going on the X machine. But
I like a good fruit based hef avison, of course.
You know, I absolutely love CALLI squeeze blood orange from
a Firestone Walker. If you ever get a chance to
(11:35):
try that, you will not be disappointed. A local bar
here in town has it on tap for a very
very reasonable price too, at just five dollars a pint
or fifteen dollars a picture. You know, it's a great
deal and it's an absolutely fantastic beer. It's like a
(11:59):
six six and a half percent. Anything Firestone Walker does
is awesome, just like the Witden Brothers. Anything they do
is awesome. Of course. You know, they were known for
their helf of Iison that they released to Portland. You
know it was an American half of ason. Wasn't a German,
(12:19):
it was an American. And of course they made more
more varieties of beer over the years, like they've done
the BlackBerry half of Iison last year, which was fantastic.
I still have a gift set from Wimer Brothers. It
(12:42):
has their three original beers with two pint glasses. It's
still I mean the packaging a little beat up from moving,
of course, but still in the same original package, still intact.
I haven't touched the beers. It's just like with Rogue Brewery.
You ever get a chance to check out Rogue Brewery
(13:03):
as well. I know my friends down in Tampa, Florida
know all about Rogue because of a collaboration that Cigar
City Brewery Brewing in Tampa has with Rogue here. So
Rogue is available down in Tampa. But I digress. Let's
(13:24):
give this a try three, two one. Here we go.
We're just gonna, We're just gonna, you know, just take
a little sip and we have and I have an
idea I want to I want to try this.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It says right here on the can when our beer
our signature, we beer met sun kissed africas and unlocked
a freshingly fruity experience. You have to sip to believe
apricot aroma citrusy, smooth, bright and refreshing. And I can
attest to this. It has a twenty eight IBU rating.
(14:15):
If you don't know what an IBU rating is, it's
international bitter unit. The lower the IBU, the less bitter
it's going to be. Like a cider, for example, would
probably be right around between a zero to a ten,
whereas you know your ip as would be upwards of
like fifty, sixty, seventy, et cetera. So the idea that
(14:40):
I have here is I'm going to take this cider
and I'm going to pour this apricot. Hef in with it. Now.
Another type of another type of mixed beer drink that
you can do, and it was affectionately called the Triple Threat,
(15:03):
which was an I p a a Fighter and Windmer
Brothers helf of Iison. So they were basically one third
a piece and you know, one third pores in a pint.
And that was acts absolutely fantastic. So I'm gonna take
a picture of this. The color looks kind of weird. Now,
(15:27):
the color looked very weird. It almost looks like guava.
But this is what happened. So let's give this a taste.
So this is a combination of the windm Brothers Apricot
helf of Bison and Portland Cider's specific Berry. Let's give
this a taste. Wow. Wow, the helf of Iison. That's
(16:00):
out the tartness of the sider. The sider cuts out
the wheat. Basically that is that is an absolute, great,
great beer. But you gotta be careful, especially if it's
(16:21):
if you're drinking a Fighter at like a beach party
or at a party in general, and there's kids around.
They might mistake that for juice and we all know
that's not gonna end up. Well, well, that's gonna wrap
this episode up. But before I go, I did want
(16:43):
to address something not and I'll dress our normal closing
when it when I do that. But last Thursday evening,
I came to this sad realization that between the health
(17:04):
of my mother who has als, and you know, the
health of my father who have heart failure, it's just
done a lot of you know, it's been mentally draining
and taxing on me. And I had announced, and I
told a lot of people. I announced on Facebook and uh,
you know, pretty much all social media that effective this
(17:27):
past Saturday, it would be my very final podcast of
all all podcasts for the foreseeable future. And I got
a lot of support, especially from the people that I've
had on my Washington Wrestle Talk. But there were two people,
(17:48):
and I'm gonna sing I'm gonna single both of these
people out. One is a very good friend of mine. Uh.
He's actually like a brother from another mother. His name
is Brett. Uh. He told me that I shouldn't I
should but I shouldn't stop. And I was just kind
of like, okay, yeah. But when I announced it on
(18:10):
X a certain someone gave me a big proverbial kick
in the ass and a slap in the face, and
she told me that I have so much to offer
and I can use this platform two, you know, work
(18:31):
through my mental health issues. Be there for people, give
people what they like, you know, because I was. I
was really having a hard time coping, you know, especially
with my mom's health, getting words. But Ariel X, one
(18:52):
of my past guests, was the one who gave me
that slap in the face, and I am forever indebted
to her. She saved not just my Washington Wrestle Talk podcast,
but this one, the Washington State Football Talk, and my
brand new one which will debut. It was supposed to
(19:13):
debut last week, but we had a little issue, so
it's going to debut this week, possibly the Washington Music Talk,
so I'll be on the lookout for that one. Very
very fun. But thank you again to Brent and Ariel
for getting me on the right path. You know, I
(19:37):
can't say enough good things, can't say you know, I
love both of you. I am forever indebted to both
of you. I do kind of feel like an ass
for missing Brett's birthday yesterday, but you know money, money's tight,
and you know when you don't have it, you don't
have it. But again, thank you to both of those individuals.
(20:02):
I love you both. I'm forever forever grateful for you guys.
Much love to both of you. All right, Now it
comes to the point of that show where we must
do the closing. And of course you know it happens
all too often. You see it in the papers, you
see it on the news. You just got to know
(20:22):
when to say one. Know your limit, you know, because
drunk driving is stupid, it's dumb driving. Because you hurt yourself,
You hurt your family, you hurt the loved ones, the
person you hurt. If you find yourself too, you know,
unable to drive, leave your car at the bar, take
(20:46):
take a bus like I do. Get it, get an uber,
get a lift, get a cab. Help I'll tip to toeing.
I'm sure they'll give you a tow home, you know,
call a friend to come pick you up, have a
designated driver if you're close enough. Walk. But never ever
(21:07):
drink and drive, because I've seen I've read a lot,
especially over you know, Fourth of July. You know, holidays
especially are the worst people will you know, cause accidents
and potential loss of life. And I don't like to
be a downer about that, but it just sucks. Okay,
(21:28):
don't do it. Just know your limits, no when to
say when you know? We do like to review beers
on the show have fun. But if you're at an
establishment or at a party, just just heed those words
of advice. Okay, guys, because I love y'all. I don't
(21:49):
want anything. I don't want to hear anything bad happen
to you, you know what I mean. Well, guys, that's
going to wrap it up for this one. This has
been one of my longer except for the time I
was with Jeremy in New York City when we were
on for three hours at the bar. But yeah, thank
you so much for listening. Check out all my other shows,

my podcasts, the Washington Wrestle Talk. I just had my
very first international guest this past weekend and it was
a fantastic time. I had an absolute great time and

ever done because I made it so chill and so relaxed.

Good evening, everyone, Welcome to another edition of Watching Craft
Grew Talk podcast. I'm your host, mister Mike Jolly. Thank
you so much for listening. It's become commonplace where I
would used to say thanks for listening to me live
or you know, whether you're listening man, but you know,
ever since the thirty first of December of last year,
(00:22):
they took you know, my lives gone away. But thank
you so much for listening wherever you may be listening from,
whether you're listening here in the United States or you're
listening abroad. Thank you so much. I love you all.
Some things things just don't go according to plan. I
had bought a Portland Trail Blazers ipa from Rogue, but
(00:49):
they were canned in October of twenty twenty four. So
typically a beer is good from the time it's canned
for about four months and then it starts to go bad.
So I was going to review that. I mean, the
can looks great, et cetera, et cetera. So you know,
(01:15):
sometimes the best laid plans aren't always cool. But we
do have a backup plan. So tonight, as some of
you may know, I do love a good cider and
Portland Cider has a one that I haven't had yet.
(01:36):
This is their Pacific Berry made with Northwest marionberries, raspberries
and apples unite for a luscious cider. It's six six
and a half percent by ABV, very esthetically pleasing canned
(01:56):
here it has fresh Northwest apples and berries. Of course,
all pictures will go on the I call it the
Twitter machine X at Triple R product. You know, everything
will be posted as soon as this episode is finished.
Filming are recording filming? What am I thinking? I obviously
(02:20):
I am not thinking today. Let's do a little beer
asmr here. Oh that's a good one, so right off
the bat. Oh that's got some it's got some apples
to it. I can already tell and also smell berries.
(02:42):
So let's do a poor here. Almost looks like a juice.
But then again that's how most ciders are, especially if
they're you know, a type of a berry. Like if
you recall I did Portland Side had a grape concord
grape it looked like grape juice. I'm not going to
(03:05):
be able to get all of it in the Guinness glass.
I could try. Ooh, I think I just made it
so we're gonna take a picture of the poor. And
(03:31):
if you want to know anything about all the companies
that I do my reviews on, you can always check
out their websites or you can check on the you know,
the my X handle at Triple or product when I
tagged the tag the brewery, but doesn't have a website
(03:56):
on here. But again, it is actually pretty pretty gnarly,
looking pretty beautiful. I actually do like it. So it's
you know, it looks like it looks like a it
looks like a juice almost, and there's very very little
(04:17):
carbonation in it, typical for a cider. You know, when
you think of carbonation, you think of head. You think
of like an I P A or something you know,
made with hops, but cider's not so much fun. Fact,
you can actually make a half cider half I P A.
(04:38):
And what that does it it cuts down on the
happiness and the bitterness of the I PA but at
the same time it balanced. They make a balanced taste,
so you get, you know, a little bit of happiness,
a little bit of bitterness, but you also get that
(05:00):
weakness from the apples and whatever berry or whatever fruit
you know, you get orange or pumpkin or whatever. Fun fact,
I actually have had those many times in the past.
Oh excuse me, golly gee, whillakers just been coffin today
(05:26):
for some reason. But let's give this a let's give
this a We already give it the smell test. Look,
it smells pretty good. Let's give it a taste here.
So this is Portland Cider Company's Pacific Berry made with merrionberry,
raspberry and apples at six and a half on the
Richter scale in three, two and one. Here we go,
(05:49):
let's do it. Oh that is tasty. Oh my god,
that is tasty. Oh wow. You can really taste the
berries on the front end, but on the back end
(06:13):
you get those crisp that crisp apple taste. Ten out
of ten highly recommend. You know, typically I give five stars.
Not gonna lie. This is a good six and three
quarter star. Broke the star. You know. Portland Cider does
(06:34):
it again. They masterful, masterful ease of artistry that this
cider is. It's just so fantastic. And if you ever
get a chance to try anything that I review here,
I highly highly recommend that you do. I mean, you
(06:57):
won't be disappointed. It's like I always tell people, you know,
when I do my travels that if you want to
experience the full Northwest brew you know brew tour, start
off down in southern Oregon. You know, you got places
in Medford. Of course, you got Rogue and you know,
(07:19):
Nicassi and all those other ones down there. And then
you make your way up towards Portland, where you've got well,
you can't really go to Widmer Brothers anymore because they're closed,
but you've got like Portland Cider, You've got you know,
you got Hop Hopworks Urban Brewery, which are which badly
(07:39):
just closed their Vancouver location. Uh, Breakside of course, which
just opened a Vancouver location here in Vancouver, Washington a

if you gotta go up towards Seattle, you know, you know,
Battleground Seattle. You know, I'll go up to Bellingham, then back,
(09:11):
you know, double back and hit the coast. It hit
places like trem In the Dolls, et cetera, et cetera.
But just a lot to experience here as far as
a beer tour, highly recommend that you do it. You
will not be disappointed. But I'm gonna I do have
another surprise for you. I do have another brew for
(09:35):
us to bring you tonight. Sorry, folks, had go grab
it real quick. Sorry for the sudden silence, but this
(09:56):
one comes from an old brew for here in Portland,
the Widber Brothers, and this is their Apricot half a
vison or apricot wheat. Now this one, the can looks
absolutely amazing. Oh and of course you can check out
(10:22):
what they have at windber Brothers dot com. Only a
four point nine ABV but and these come in twelve

So we're really well, I've been drinking them so all right,
(10:44):
so some beer, asmr. I'm two. Now this one's a
little bit frothier because it is a half a viison. Oh,
you've got the apricot smell. I wish I had a
glass to pour in, but I'm gonna drink a little
bit more of this cider real quick, all right, So
(11:13):
I don't have a glass to pour this in. I apologize,
So no poor picture going on the X machine. But
I like a good fruit based hef avison, of course.
You know, I absolutely love CALLI squeeze blood orange from
a Firestone Walker. If you ever get a chance to
(11:35):
try that, you will not be disappointed. A local bar
here in town has it on tap for a very
very reasonable price too, at just five dollars a pint
or fifteen dollars a picture. You know, it's a great
deal and it's an absolutely fantastic beer. It's like a
(11:59):
six six and a half percent. Anything Firestone Walker does
is awesome, just like the Witden Brothers. Anything they do
is awesome. Of course. You know, they were known for
their helf of Iison that they released to Portland. You
know it was an American half of ason. Wasn't a German,
(12:19):
it was an American. And of course they made more
more varieties of beer over the years, like they've done
the BlackBerry half of Iison last year, which was fantastic.
I still have a gift set from Wimer Brothers. It
(12:42):
has their three original beers with two pint glasses. It's
still I mean the packaging a little beat up from moving,
of course, but still in the same original package, still intact.
I haven't touched the beers. It's just like with Rogue Brewery.
You ever get a chance to check out Rogue Brewery
(13:03):
as well. I know my friends down in Tampa, Florida
know all about Rogue because of a collaboration that Cigar
City Brewery Brewing in Tampa has with Rogue here. So
Rogue is available down in Tampa. But I digress. Let's
(13:24):
give this a try three, two one. Here we go.
We're just gonna, We're just gonna, you know, just take
a little sip and we have and I have an
idea I want to I want to try this.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It says right here on the can when our beer
our signature, we beer met sun kissed africas and unlocked
a freshingly fruity experience. You have to sip to believe
apricot aroma citrusy, smooth, bright and refreshing. And I can
attest to this. It has a twenty eight IBU rating.
(14:15):
If you don't know what an IBU rating is, it's
international bitter unit. The lower the IBU, the less bitter
it's going to be. Like a cider, for example, would
probably be right around between a zero to a ten,
whereas you know your ip as would be upwards of
like fifty, sixty, seventy, et cetera. So the idea that
(14:40):
I have here is I'm going to take this cider
and I'm going to pour this apricot. Hef in with it. Now.
Another type of another type of mixed beer drink that
you can do, and it was affectionately called the Triple Threat,
(15:03):
which was an I p a a Fighter and Windmer
Brothers helf of Iison. So they were basically one third
a piece and you know, one third pores in a pint.
And that was acts absolutely fantastic. So I'm gonna take
a picture of this. The color looks kind of weird. Now,
(15:27):
the color looked very weird. It almost looks like guava.
But this is what happened. So let's give this a taste.
So this is a combination of the windm Brothers Apricot
helf of Bison and Portland Cider's specific Berry. Let's give
this a taste. Wow. Wow, the helf of Iison. That's
(16:00):
out the tartness of the sider. The sider cuts out
the wheat. Basically that is that is an absolute, great,
great beer. But you gotta be careful, especially if it's
(16:21):
if you're drinking a Fighter at like a beach party
or at a party in general, and there's kids around.
They might mistake that for juice and we all know
that's not gonna end up. Well, well, that's gonna wrap
this episode up. But before I go, I did want
(16:43):
to address something not and I'll dress our normal closing
when it when I do that. But last Thursday evening,
I came to this sad realization that between the health
(17:04):
of my mother who has als, and you know, the
health of my father who have heart failure, it's just
done a lot of you know, it's been mentally draining
and taxing on me. And I had announced, and I
told a lot of people. I announced on Facebook and uh,
you know, pretty much all social media that effective this
(17:27):
past Saturday, it would be my very final podcast of
all all podcasts for the foreseeable future. And I got
a lot of support, especially from the people that I've
had on my Washington Wrestle Talk. But there were two people,
(17:48):
and I'm gonna sing I'm gonna single both of these
people out. One is a very good friend of mine. Uh.
He's actually like a brother from another mother. His name
is Brett. Uh. He told me that I shouldn't I
should but I shouldn't stop. And I was just kind
of like, okay, yeah. But when I announced it on
(18:10):
X a certain someone gave me a big proverbial kick
in the ass and a slap in the face, and
she told me that I have so much to offer
and I can use this platform two, you know, work
(18:31):
through my mental health issues. Be there for people, give
people what they like, you know, because I was. I
was really having a hard time coping, you know, especially
with my mom's health, getting words. But Ariel X, one
(18:52):
of my past guests, was the one who gave me
that slap in the face, and I am forever indebted
to her. She saved not just my Washington Wrestle Talk podcast,
but this one, the Washington State Football Talk, and my
brand new one which will debut. It was supposed to
(19:13):
debut last week, but we had a little issue, so
it's going to debut this week, possibly the Washington Music Talk,
so I'll be on the lookout for that one. Very
very fun. But thank you again to Brent and Ariel
for getting me on the right path. You know, I
(19:37):
can't say enough good things, can't say you know, I
love both of you. I am forever indebted to both
of you. I do kind of feel like an ass
for missing Brett's birthday yesterday, but you know money, money's tight,
and you know when you don't have it, you don't
have it. But again, thank you to both of those individuals.
(20:02):
I love you both. I'm forever forever grateful for you guys.
Much love to both of you. All right, Now it
comes to the point of that show where we must
do the closing. And of course you know it happens
all too often. You see it in the papers, you
see it on the news. You just got to know
(20:22):
when to say one. Know your limit, you know, because
drunk driving is stupid, it's dumb driving. Because you hurt yourself,
You hurt your family, you hurt the loved ones, the
person you hurt. If you find yourself too, you know,
unable to drive, leave your car at the bar, take
(20:46):
take a bus like I do. Get it, get an uber,
get a lift, get a cab. Help I'll tip to toeing.
I'm sure they'll give you a tow home, you know,
call a friend to come pick you up, have a
designated driver if you're close enough. Walk. But never ever
(21:07):
drink and drive, because I've seen I've read a lot,
especially over you know, Fourth of July. You know, holidays
especially are the worst people will you know, cause accidents
and potential loss of life. And I don't like to
be a downer about that, but it just sucks. Okay,
(21:28):
don't do it. Just know your limits, no when to
say when you know? We do like to review beers
on the show have fun. But if you're at an
establishment or at a party, just just heed those words
of advice. Okay, guys, because I love y'all. I don't
(21:49):
want anything. I don't want to hear anything bad happen
to you, you know what I mean. Well, guys, that's
going to wrap it up for this one. This has
been one of my longer except for the time I
was with Jeremy in New York City when we were
on for three hours at the bar. But yeah, thank

ever done because I made it so chill and so relaxed.
