Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to our Kobe Bryant Jeff Gordon episode episode twenty
four of the Inside the Bus podcast. In this one,
you're probably wondering why didn't this episode happen sooner? Because
you've probably heard this guy's name before, whether it's in
the Busting world, whether it's in the bust scenes world,
or whether it's in the for the Dad's world. We

(00:21):
have our newest employee on this episode with us, Derek
from the chat.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Thank you, solid intro.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Thanks this newest employee of two months already.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Thirty nine days was Friday.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, that blog was incredible.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
I was super nervous. Obviously we can talk about what
actually happened, but sending it out there was like a
two hour gap before g hit the group chat of
that blog, and you know, you go through when you
do any type of content, like does everyone hate it
or whatever? And then I was like fuck, I kind
of fucked with Coop a little bit on it, and
like shit, I kind of fucked with Will. I'm like,
damn everybody to be on Monday, man. But no, it
was good.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
That was incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
This office needs a blogger too.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, we need more writing. And for those that don't
understand what we're talking about. Every Sunday night, we have
a weekly schedule that gets sent out to us and
normally Ryan puts it together shout out Ryan, but has
everything that's going on. This past week, Derek added a
blog to it where he was basically diving into the
levels of fandom because that's been a big argument at

(01:25):
the bus. We have some sickos, we have some diehards,
we have some Will Compton's.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Some casuals.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Some casuals. Me and he dove into it and it
was beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
I did take your name out of the casual thing.
I didn't want it to be a shot, but I
was like, you do love the Chiefs, but you don't
do it enough for Clump to fuck with you.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I know. I just I'm not one. I mean we've
said it before, but I'm not one. Like it's not
going to ruin my week. I just like watching football.
I'll be back.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I have something I need to grab pertaining to this.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Oh yeah, you definitely need.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
We need to figure out a name to differentiate between
the casuals of the WARLD like Matt Malone and then you,
because there's I don't know, there seems like there's a
little bit of a gap in which which which which
swings better.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
For your Yeah, I would agree, yeah, because I.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
Think fandom casual fandom with incredible ball knowledge, and then just.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
I think I think my fandom is the the NFL
hat that Coop has, Like that is me for the
NFL football correct, But I and like, I know we
got a face swamp. I know the like I do
obviously playing college football and like growing up and playing football,
like I know the ins and outs of football, and

(02:38):
like when like sometimes you asked me a football question,
I'm like, fuck, yeah, I can flex my ball dolarg
ball knowledge like muscle. It's like I am a I.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Think you're a gamer.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
I think that gamer is a good one.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
If he loses Mitch More, if he loses flag, which
is gamer.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah gamer, I can get down with gamer.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yeahah, it fits you.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I've always appreciated too that you you kind of take
the first step and being like I'm a casual Yeah,
And in back of my head, I'm like, you know,
like in a way you are, but like I feel
like you're not giving yourself enough credit. So yeah, I
think gamers a good place to hang the hat for now.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, because I would get frustrated and annoyed because you
guys were like you guys, you It was more so
of a like Taylor said it best on the bus,
He's like, Mitch just likes football. Like we get we
get mad at him because we think he doesn't like ball,
but like, no, it's just like I'm not gonna I
just like football. I like all ball.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's probably the.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Level you played at, like you played you played in college, right, yeah,
so you just like it. You went to South Carolina,
Oklahom's like, there's that's the thing. That's what I tried
to hit in the blog because there's a difference between
you guys when I came South with college football fandom
and being a pro like being a Steelers fan at
Ruins my day. But we play and I'm like, cool,
we can go give another. If there's a third fucking
Hayward brother, let's toss him a bag. Like, but you

(03:58):
guys have a year in, year out call Colledge fandom
that like watching you with the vault. It's different. It's
just flat different.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's tough in a state Tennessee specifically, where you have
to live and die by football. You can you can
rep the Grizzlies, but obviously that's Memphis. But like we
don't have obviously an MLB team, no NBA team, So
like like as a Steelers fan, like you can rep
the Sixers, you can rep the Phillies, like you you
can kind of if you're having a bad year, you
can run what pirates.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
We do have the Pirate and the Sixers of Philly,
but we, in your defense, we don't have a basketball team.
So people picked Cleveland in Sixers until Lebron came a
long than those.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Just in markets where you have a fall.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Back, we'll get there.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Well yeah, but yeah, it's a great point though.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
I like, so it goes bottom casual mad gamer.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
I think it's Matt Malone. I think below below Matt
is Jared because he just doesn't really care, like he's like,
Sundays are free days to me, like I don't have
to I don't watch football. So it's Jared. And then
I would say a week out here, I think I,
and then I think Matt Malone, and then I would
almost say me and Cooper kind of in the same
realm hm.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I feel like it's fair.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Because you know, but but you're like on that football.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
Coop was on Suey after the Titans snook his Cardinals.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
He's that way with the Cardinals.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yeah, I am like.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Maybe like a little bit above Mitch on like I
do care, it really doesn't really Like I almost like
him just used to watching the Cardinals sucks, so like
that's just part of my football watching experience.

Speaker 7 (05:29):
It's not like it actually doesn't ruin my mood as
much as I.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
But you'll get frustrated.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Yeah, I'll get frustrated, like when I do just like
watching football, Like I don't care if it's my team.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
But if the Cords were nice, you're gonna be like
bought in all the way.

Speaker 7 (05:42):
And I hope, So I hope, I hope.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
What a couple of hundred thousand mil was it mill
for it?

Speaker 5 (05:49):
Yeah, the Cardinals. I can post memes on Twitter and
get two point four million views on them even though
it's about the Cardinals sucking ass category.

Speaker 7 (05:59):
I think he I'm in a similar category to Mitch.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Gamer plus because he does get frustrated if the Chiefs
lose and like fuck, But if like the Cardinals lose,
like he'll put out a tweet he'll like dog the
Cardinals where I like, I'm not going to tweet.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
As I'm that kind of fan where like I kind
of am sick of in terms of like when my
team's doing bad, it's kind of enjoyable to kind of tease.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Them and make fun of them.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, it's like tough love.

Speaker 7 (06:23):
Yeah, every year with Cardinals, everyone curious.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, finish.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, trying to submit to the highest level.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Matt Me or Jared Matt Me coop.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
So it goes, does not care, casual gamer gamer.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Plus what would be next level come in?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, I'm trying to think, I genuinely, I know it's
only been a week. It's been like three because the
top one.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
I know what it is.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
In the Matt Malone category because he's got seventeen different teams.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Let me swap it up. Because the thing was I
I did not I named what Jack is in it
like Valls fans were basically their own countrue. But I
would like to identify it a little bit more here
because I have what does it mean to be a
fan of the name of it? And we look at casuals, diehards,
Valls fans, and then Will Compton's of the world, and
that is how I categorize basically the whobice. I like

(07:20):
diving it out a little bit more and just I
mean I won't go to and definitely a casuals. Some
of them kind of get away from the office troll
uh diehards. They seem to teeter between serial killer and stalker.
My favorite line there would just be as abated the
sexual orientation of other homo sapiens who request the sacred
scribbling of names from sweaty men with athletic accomplishments valls fans.
I would like to say, I'm coining it. I don't

(07:40):
know if you want it or not, but Mac or
Jack mixed straight man, just so you know it's I.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, yeah, I thought it was good there man, so
uh and then yeah, you guys keep coming back no
matter how bad it is, like a student loan reminder.
And then the the Will Compton shout out, Sally May
the sickest, most diehard steelersan I can find the Steel City.
He wouldn't hold a single match to the love that
the will Comptons have for their team. And then we
dove into the fact that he uh berated Coop for not.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
I can't win.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
I think I think.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
You were prepared for glory if Nebraska lost that game. Yeah,
part of me wants to be like, let's keep that
in a rise, but we can leave it there.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Yeah, just just no, I would say, like, well, not
going to watch this, but you're in.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
The realm of Like I don't know if like Valls
fan is strictly Walls fans can be in that category,
because I would say you're I think almost.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I think it might be in a level of his
own life will content players he's friends with on Facebook
from his sold days. DP knows everything there is to
know about South Carolina football and just this like he
truly embodies what it is to be a South Carolina.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I would play JP above the sick o psycho.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah, future, it's interesting with the head coach.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah yeah yeah Nick, Like Nick Harbor asked for him
as to meet up with him rather than like.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
He's deming with Ty Simpson after the game, Like answer.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
M think that means a lot, But it means a lot.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Where does Taylor fall into this?

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Who maybe just fight in the middle of the road
because he's had experience playing comes to the program but
never was a true fan until until they won the
Nation National and to his credit, he started being a
fan that year. But even then it felt a little so,
I don't know, maybe just kind of like it is.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
Funny to me when Coop knows more of Taylor's Michigan
roster than Taylor.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
Knew his own teammates. Yeah, because his team's had me
fighting for my life at middle school lunch every day.
I know everything I was talking about.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
But yeah, so all of this to get to JP
and his little share in tell or Show and Tell.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, when I was home with Garrett, Garrett got to
see my childhood house, which is an underrated moment because
you're those awesome very rarely get to see your childhood.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
It felt, I'll quickly say it was very homey.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
It was almost exactly what.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
You would expect the house to be like it was
all time.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
So thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
And so our neighborhood is elite.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
By the way, did you see the tree he hit
in for twelve hours?

Speaker 5 (10:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (10:23):
When he ran away?

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Oh oh yeah that's cool.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, that's good. Right there, I'll see you guys a photos.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Never made it to the edge of the driveway and
never got past.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, I went to this tree climbed up. I was like,
they're going to miss me, and I'm going to watch
them come out and look for me. And they never
came out.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
And looked for me.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
I was just hitting, Yeah, that's what it's horrible. That's
probably when I made this.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
I'll go to college.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I'll create my own college.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
No.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
So this was on my little like dresser thing. And
this was the first brochure I ever made in a
web design class. So I had to be like fifth
or sixth grade, and I guess the assignment was just
like create either a city or a town school something. Naturally,
I pick something about South Carolina. I picked Cocky Land,
and I don't know if y'all remember that, like when

(11:13):
you made brochures in school learning that was the sickest
thing ever. And we'll have to put a photo up
because I have this random like textbox.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Incredibly well maintained, still long ago.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
So here now on cockeye Land time. How do you
feel you open it up to find out. I won't
read the full thing, but I'll give you guys.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
I would listen to a podcast if you just reading
this whole thing just for the record.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, I mean, we have dining parks and facilities, entertainment, clothes,
and calendar of events, plus education. And this is not
fully homer everything you like, I'm including another school in here.
The food consists of mostly tailgating food, hot dogs, hamburgers,
brought wear, subs, fruit wings. And then the water fountains
are filled with gatorade, and in every refrigerator of the

(12:00):
rooms is gatorade, water juice, soda, powerade, and propels. And
the last thing people would eat is shrimp. Now that's
some good food. Parks and facilities. All Gamecock facilities are
open to the public from seven to twelve and then
four to eight due to sports team practices. All of
the facilities have pools, concessions, basketball court, soccer fields, and

(12:20):
the city Dump is where the Clemson fans live entertainment.
For entertainment, everybody goes to all of the games football, basketball, soccer,
swim meets, other sports and recreational sports. And yes there
are still movie theaters. Clothes you could guess what they are.
Everybody has a year supply of Gamecock t shirt, long
sleeve shirt, pants, hoodies, and anyone who is found with

(12:42):
the Clemson sweatshirt will be kicked out of the Community
calendar of events football season, and then two times a
year we go to Clemson Community to trash talk them,
and then throughout the rest of the year we watch
everything else. Education, since when you're a little boy, you
will attend some kind of school that has a connection
to the University of South Carolina or another Gamecock school.
When you're three years old, you go to preschool called

(13:04):
for the Young Gamecock and so on. By the time
you are a senior in high school, you will have
a choice to go to USC or Jacksonville State, who
are also the game Cocks, each of which are free.
So I made this when I was about ten or eleven.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
You were ahead of the.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
And hopefully you know maybe.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
This is a different it's like a different layer of everything,
is right, brochure fan and that I don't love the.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Name of that, yeah, but if you understand something.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Context of it, since again we need to work on it.
But that's what separates GP is like I don't know
if I've ever witnessed a fandom quite like JP's with
South Carolina, because it, like I said earlier, just it
fully embodies the whole state. It's not just you know,
South Carolina football or like what it's it's everything, and
I can really appreciate that kind of stuff.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
My favorite part in the whole thing is the year
one year supply of game cock.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Yeah, after that, that's all we got.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
You know, I thought I was cooking when I was
on Clint since head to they're in the city, dump
go talk trash to him.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
Now that's some good food. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
When you are three years old, you go to preschool,
it's called for the young game cock and so on.
This is like really impressive, just so you know, like
on a kid level, like this is well done. You
are definitely getting something in there. I'll give your own
ring because to your point, like you are, if the
Balls lose, if bamlous, if these teams lose, you guys
are sick and annoyed and like want blood and want
people fired. JP's trying to build a better world. There's

(14:28):
something there. He's genuinely like it's bigger than he's like, look,
I understand, but like, okay, guys, we still got to
go to clumbson this weekend and make fun of their fans.
So like, let's rally on the bus.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
We have a schedule. Yeah, absolutely, with about your years
so yeah, that's my submission, so.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
I love to do with that as you will.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
I will.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
We were walking around Columbia. We got out of the
car for two minutes. JP, this is a ten am like.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
That's got to be so sick.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
It was cool.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
It was a great time running for mayor or or
some kind of city councilmen. Dude, later on life, I
feel like you're already campaigning.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
I mean cocky land strong bro.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, I mean ad there. I go through waves of
being interested in politics, but I do. I love like
the community building aspect. So I'm hoping that. I think
there's going to be massive shifts in the political landscape
over the next twenty years. And I'm hoping that when
I am forty forty five, there's a different type of
role out there that would fit more in to the

(15:30):
things I'm into, because I'd love to stand on the
table for South Carolina as a state, and I just
it needs to be the right opening. It's funny because
I actually I do DM with a couple of representatives.
I DM with a couple of representatives from the upstate
just to get their their pulse on things.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
They're probably freaking out thinking man, he's only got so
many more years.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
So he's on you.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Guys are making Joey Aglar edits. He's residential campaigns.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
I love that for you.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
But I mean I've so funny, like way long ago,
I had to buddy he worked on Capitol holl for
a while. I ran his small town campaign. So he
ran for a very small portion of our local government
for it, and I helped run his campaign for him.
And I will say, without a sliver of understanding who
you are outside of this office, other than just becoming
friends with you, you would do absolute numbers would be fun, yeah,

(16:22):
because you could like playground.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, like there could be a great campaign manager he
would and it might be forming in front of our eyes.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
Yeah we're real.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Yeah, some sick posters come out. I mean, right, we
got the seat.

Speaker 6 (16:39):
There, man, we're just gonna get I feel likes like
Pittsburgh is a place where people.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
Have a lot of pride into Pittsburgh is it's it's
crazy too because you get down here and the first thing,
like when I got with people, they'd be like, oh,
like you're in Nashville, and I'm like, yeah, let's go
to like Franklin and they'll be like, yeah, Okay, that's Franklin.
That's not Nashville. And like I realized, like it's very
that way Pittsburgh. You're fifteen minutes outside the city. You're
from Pittsburgh. Like that's that's just it's this identity type thing.

(17:06):
And like even Pa, it's just I mean, I don't
know if it's I'm assuming it's.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
That way over there.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
No, I say, I'm from Philly, and the guys give
me shit for it.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Okay, see that's exactly.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
I got forty minutes outside of Philly, and I'm like,
in my.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
World, you're from Philly. Now I get it. I get
it because that's why.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
When you came here, they were in Franklin, not Nashville.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
Facts, Bro, you gotta learn about shit. You guys do
shit different down here. I like it, but it's different.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
For how long have you been in Nashville.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
I've been in Nashville. This was the start of year
five for me. At the beginning of this year, like March,
so four, you move in the middle of COVID. Yeah,
I moved at the tail end of it. So Pittsburgh
was still I mean, we would. I got a bike
in Pittsburgh. My Buddy does a bunch of like bars,
and we had all these restaurants you go to, so
we got bikes to just come into the city and
sit it outside patios and drink beer.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Basically sick.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
It was.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
It was dope. But Pittsburgh was shut down way before.
So Pittsburgh was the city where you wear your mask,
go to your table, take your mouth off, and that
was a common thing. I come down here and I'm like, oh, yeah,
it's opening up. The world's opening up, and I'm like,
oh cool, Like broadways like a zombie fucking apocalypse, Like
there are just people. And it was a weird transition
of it through it, but it was really cool because
I felt like I got past that point, Like I

(18:15):
got past the COVID shit. I got past that part
of my life, and like, as soon as I moved
somewhere I've never been before the world just opened up.
It was really really cool how Kobe moved. I moved
here for uh So. I was in advertising before this.
I was a director of social media for an advertising
firm in town called the Bunting Group. So I god, dude,
I used to sell like lamin It's kitchen countertops, sinks,

(18:37):
hinges and shit. Took a huge paic cut to go
into advertising, stuck around there, got headhunted for just a
social job with them, and came down and was like
I'm basically burned the boats, like not going back home.
We're doing this shit. Luckily obviously fast forward a bit,
but we got here, thank god. There were some times
where I was like, fuck, I gotta go back home,
and like fuck I gotta pack it up and shit.
But I moved down for the job and I loved it,

(18:58):
and it was it was really kind of that moment
of like this is the life now, Like this is
what we're doing. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, and I saw I was I'll forget what it was.
But I was scrolling through your Instagram. Yeah, in your
period when you were like me trying to explain to
my girlfriend what I'm doing unemployed.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
Those were great day whatever.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
So appeal like to like go back a bit. When
I was getting into advertising. The first time, I was
an account coordinator, so social was my way to get in.
The second time, I basically sat at the bar with
a buddy who was a video editor, and we sat
there and he's like, I want to start my own
agency and I was like, that sounds lame. I was like,
let's start a sports thing and he was like, what
is that. I was like, so we're gonna call it
Thoughts from the Bench. It's a blog and we make content.

(19:38):
So we did that for god seven years, blog, twitch streaming,
our own podcasting, everything you could think of. We did
shotgun races at tailgates against the barstool guys like Big
Katwaite sucks Dave. We fucking grind that shit and it
was completely free, all the twitch streams. That's how we
got into November. That's why I'm so heavy into that.
And so all that shit was where I would experiment

(19:59):
for my advertising job. And so dude, the clients they
have the red tape. Everything in the advertising world is
so asked to be honest with you, Like I I
like it. It got me here, but it's terrible. So
I would take everything and come working on my own
podcast and it would work there and I'd bring it back, Well,
what's the KPIs, what's the delivery? Like da da da
da da. I'm like, no, it fucking worked, dude, It worked.
So everything up to there, Like That's why I liked

(20:21):
sending the blog and all that stuff. But those videos
that you speak of, I was at that job. Left
that job for a video shop in town. I was
their director of social great guys just didn't work out.
It was startup, went back to the agency and then
they had their third round of layoffs ever, which happened
in the same year Shocker and got laid off. And

(20:41):
I was like, fuck, dude, I just bought my ring,
so we're engaged now. I just bought my ring. We
just moved into a new house. All this shit. So
I was driving Lyft as much as a human could
drive a car. I was picking up this freelance work,
trying my ass off, and I was like, fuck, did
I gotta get back into it cause I had taken
a huge gap off of making content for the blog stuff.
Like before bro we were making videos, Like I would

(21:03):
blog three times a day. I would We did our
Thursday show, which was two hours, which I stopped doing
just for busting. I want to pick it back up,
but stop doing that. So three clips a day, two
blogs a week. We did a live stream. Monday Night
was a gaming show, so we did twitch stream gaming.
Tuesday Night was a ranking show. We just ranked it
Wednesday night was movie reviews, Thursday was my show, Friday

(21:24):
was off. Saturday we did a trivia show that I
recorded the whole day. Sunday morning was gambling, and then
after football we did a recap show all for free
in the back of a gym. The back of a gym,
this utility closet where the only thing that's still there
is my two thousand and four Golden t Arcade game
that just stopped the work. And when I moved here,
I was fucking pissed. Bro full carcass arcade everything. I

(21:45):
know this is super long. I'm so sorry to do this,
but back into it. Yeah, I made these videos where
I was basically I have this salt of the earth
beautiful woman who is my fiance named Kat, and she
was like, hey, like you're good. She does she's a
nurse practitioner. She's like, we're okay, just like promise me
you're gonna keep going, like figure it out. Like I
was like, I will watch this, yeah, yeah, and then

(22:07):
I got clump making me fucking work on vacation. But no,
it was that intro was super funny. My interview with
you guys was the funniest day of my life. Jeremy's
a crack. But I get through those videos where I
was like, well, fuck, how do I explain to her
what I do all day? So I made I got
up to like edition nineteen before I got this job,
where every day I was making another piece of video
and making another piece of video just about my day.

(22:29):
And it ended up that got me a job offer
at Meta, which I turned down for this that got
me a job offer with an agency in Kentucky cause
they were like, hey, we see your portfolios tight, we
see the you have a good attitude about this, and
we see that like the place that laid you off
clearly like had issues. It wasn't a you thing. And
so making those videos like I have a cousin who's
the professor of marketing at Duqune University in Pittsburgh, and

(22:52):
he's the one who helped me get a lot of
my freelance clients that I still have today. But he
was like, bro, just He's like keep making. He's like,
just keep making something. So I just make these stupid
fucking here I am taking the trash out videos. Here's
I made burgers for three weeks straight, different burgers. I
got a Blackstone.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Then my dad drove down.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
I made three straight weeks of different types of burgers,
and I was like, fuck it, here's the jalapeno cheese
curd peanut butter burger I made today. It's fucking ass
eighteen eighteen. But no man content. That's why. Like when
this happened and Clump replied back, first time of your
play back, I thought he was fucking with me. I

(23:28):
didn't know. I was like, this guy's not the director
at Digital. Yeah, this in the picture. I was like,
is that plank.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
He's like, yeah, that's how I was. When we'll reach
out to me too, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:37):
Dude, it's you know, being it.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
You guys have been great. Thirty nine days have been
so fucking sick. So it's been It's been a way.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Longer than thirty nine days for sure. Yeah, because what
when when would you first walk who?

Speaker 4 (23:52):
So it would have been so July.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Are you here with the interns?

Speaker 8 (23:56):
No?

Speaker 4 (23:56):
No, No, the interns had been hired, and so I
went to the beach in July, which is why I
said to Clump, because they had me editing clips for
my audition for my contract. Try into it, and so
did that, and then it was like I started my
what was supposed to be a six or five week
trial contract made it to week three, which is when

(24:16):
I stopped bringing in shit to my desk so I
can have a desk. That was day I'd said it
to you because it was like, I think it was
like the start of week three.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, because I remember bringing it up and you're like, yeah,
well it's actually over. I got offered a full time job, and.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
That's how we found it.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
That's one of my favorite moments.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
You explain that for anyone who doesn't understand what we're
talking about as well.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Yeah, I would bring in so i'd like go through
X and I was like, all right, I gotta start,
like I gotta do something, because you guys were awesome,
but I was like I need to start showing what
I can do. And I was like, first thing I
can do is just be like get your gimmicks going,
like I love bits like I handed out the cards today,
a fun fact trivia like that. Shit just makes me happy.
So every day I would bring in a new item
for my desk when I got a desk, and so

(24:57):
this would pop up, a Condoma TJY bobblehead, the Kobe
Bryant Magazine, and so I remember one day I looked
at g and I said, gee, could I interest you
in being interested in my desk Guide? And it was
just like yeah, sure, And from there it started slowly
becoming a thing to then I think it was it
was one of our first companies. You were like, hey, dude,
what'd you bring in today? And I was like, you know, man,
and I did it, said, bro, I did not bring

(25:19):
something in. And I could feel genuine disappointment from you,
which is.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Just like, man, like I feel like this was like
where me and you were really about to just connect.
And really, in about five seconds you figure out you
got hired full time for truly, Like I don't know
why I think today I haven't feel a little emotional.
I'm not feeling I'm like, dude, I'm so stokey. You
gotta hired. Yeah, even such an amazing addition, thank you.
Your personality is super bright and like it just brings

(25:45):
just a new good vibe and energy and yeah with
the cards today, like you wore in Arkansas pull over
the day before Tennessee plays and like you immediately put
on like you know, some to see logan you print
off from the printer, take the ship out of it,
and then he put something on my desk where it

(26:05):
was like an apology and it was like one free
volunteer moment. It was like, does not include like moving
or something else, which is great.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
It had the dog over top of an Arkansas pagan
and said free for one volunteer moment does not include
moving into or out too of houses, apartments or living complex,
which was just great.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
I mean it just it was a very well done
card too. You just like wrote with sharpie on like
this piece of paper, but like obviously you and JP
have an actist brochure thing.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
He was ahead of me when JP is ready.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
No, it was funny. Yet Jack's like, well, what did
you bring in? And I was like in my brain,
I was like I could be like, oh dude, you
could and I could be well, I could be hype
and I could be like no, no, no, here's why
I didn't. But I was like, nah, dude, keep it.
And I was like, you know what, I didn't bring
something in today, man, And he was just like, oh dude,
like what the fuck? And I was like, well, that
was for my contract that got hired full time and
he's like what the fuck. He was like, that's how

(26:56):
we're gonna find that way. And Jack like he's like,
g did you know he got full you know he
got full time and just like this whole like, eh, dude.
It was a great moment. And there's so many of
those little moments, like it's so funny because you guys
are from the outside perspective, like not to blow your
top stuff, you're very cool, Like you're very cool people.
You are on busting you running for president? No, but

(27:16):
like you have this presence about you guys that is
like we are this is the group. Like I can't
explain to you how cool it is to tell people
I'm I literally said to my mom, was like, no,
I'm one of the boys that's busting like and she
was like, what the fuck does that mean. I was
like no, like, I'm I'm like one of this thing
that is this and it's super cool because you know,
I've done mine the words and my buddy Josh one
hundred thousand hours of podcasting, one hundred thousand hours of graphics,

(27:38):
like I've done all the little shit that the second
this opportunity came up, I was like, oh no, I
know I'm gonna do the job. Well, it's about getting
you guys to like buy into me as a person too.
That's an important part of what you el built here.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Definitely sure what was so?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
You said the interview process was hilarious and stuff, Well
what stood out? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (27:57):
So really genuinely what stood out was me kind of
fumble it in myself not a bad way. But I
you know, got the call or the email from Clump
and I remember it because I had like the meta
thing was a contracted to run there rolling out on
meta So twenty twenty six, all ads creative will be
made by AI. So it's this well known thing. They

(28:17):
had contacted me to lead a team of creatives to
run AI generated ads through our own eyes to say
if it's gonna be good or not. And I was like,
all right, cool, that's meta. And then there was another
gig at an agency that I was getting through the
final what would have been a remote with one week
in Kentucky, Like it was cool, and then I get
the email from Jermy Clump. It's just like hey, like
want to talk to you had the first call and
I'm just like this dude is so like it's not

(28:40):
a disrespectful he's goofy, like Clumb's a goofy. He's a dude, right,
and so he's like, yeah, did that, And then next interview,
I like didn't hear from him for like two days,
and I'm like, all right, this could be a bit
like anybody can make a bus in Gmail whatever, and
he's like, yeah, I'm gonna bring well. He was like,
I'm gonna bring Chef on. And so the next interview,
Chef comes on and I'm asking a couple questions and

(29:00):
Chef's answering them are like really well in a good setting,
and Clumps get it. And then Clump's like, yeah, man,
your homework really is to watch the latest episode, which
I had already gotten like halfway through, like huge fan,
and so I was like yeah, and he's like, cut
some clips of it. So I'm cutting, and I cut
about three clips and I'm talking like he said, if
you can send them tomorrow, that'd be sick, and I'm like, fuck, dude,

(29:21):
I don't even got Adobe Premiere right now. So I
signed up for a free week of Adobe Premiere and
I was like, let's do this shit. Cut the clips,
sent them in. There was like one issue with a
jump cut him and I talked through. Then he goes, awesome, man,
I'll reach out soon. Another three fucking days goes by,
and I'm like, now I'm getting my own head because
I don't know who. Luckily, my buddy Josh got me his.

(29:44):
I was like, thank God, but no, because I didn't
know Chef. I didn't know Sherm. I knew who Will
was because of Barstool and Will. I didn't know Will,
and I didn't know this Jeremy guy. And I'm just like, fuck, dude,
like i don't know if they liked it. I'm sitting
there like twitching, like they fucking hate this shit. And
so Clump comes back. It's like, yo, that's sick. We
want you to cut three more clips, and he goes,

(30:07):
I know yours is Thursday. He goes, dude, so we
had a conversation about it, but he's like, I need
you to cut these clips. I know you're leaving for
the beach Saturday morning at eight am. I was going
to Myrtle Beach out out of South Carolina, and he goes,
I want you to the world. I have the worst
record of mini golf there, but I've played all the courses.
It's great. I was like, yo, Bro, like uh yeah.

(30:27):
He's like, I want you to cut a clip for
Will's Instagram, cut a clip for Sirm's Instagram, and cut
a clip for before the Dad's Instagram. He's like, you'll
be running or cutting clips for all of them. Haven't
fucking done it yet, Shit.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Don't even do it.

Speaker 8 (30:41):
I still remember Clump telling me that. I was like, Clump,
we put every like, we don't specify for people's accounts.
I was like, We're just gonna make him do it.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
I was like, all right, shit, well I did I
like longest like to get in it. So stayed up
till about two in the morning cutting them because there
was a glitch era because I downloaded the YouTube video
and kept fucking up. Did that.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Senate's just saying, anyways, like I just downloaded from you
to Bro.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
I'm like, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah, he I mean get there. I'm at the beach.
My families, yeah, if you're Clump phone and my whole
family's like, all right, so you're like auditioning for a
podcast and they knew I did my whole thing, but
it was never serious up until now, Like it was
never a job. So Clump calls me. He's like, hey, bro,
can you cut clips today or no? Can you put

(31:26):
together a social strategy? And I was like, yeah, I
do that in my sleep. Cranked it out in like
two hours on the beach with my fiance with Margarita's
which was great. Day goes by, send it next morning,
eight thirty five of them on the golf course. Hey man,
can you talk soon from Clump?

Speaker 5 (31:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Bro, Like just let me know. I'm golfing. But I
got you this motherfucker. Don't text me back till the
next day at like ten, Bro, I'm like, I'm sitting
I'm like, hey, guys, can you make sure, Yeah, my
phone's plugged in, thank you. I'm supposed to get a
call that I was on like the hey dad, don't
use the phone. My friends are gonna call and I'm
Ethernet like that's literally where we were. And so then

(32:03):
the next day he's like, yeah, dude, we want you
to do to come in Like, yeah, you're You're getting it.
And I talked to Clump eventually about it because my
first day was Breca. So my interview day was when
Brecca was and there's just moving parts and I'm like
dodging balls getting thrown and like shit fuck. And so
I get in there and Clump comes in. The strategy
went well, I walked Will through it like same as
if I was doing it for one of the bank

(32:24):
clients we had back in the day. And I find
out later that week that Clump's like, oh no, that
was like an insane ask. He's like, you hit every
check mark. He's like, I, You'll never have a day
hard as that interview process at Bustin.

Speaker 8 (32:39):
Yes please missing a big point. He came in at
like one o'clock in the Afternoonca Breca went for some
reason we had like, oh, it was a big recording day.
So he gets there. We asked him to get there
at one. We sit down, me sure and Clump. We're
having a great time talking to him. We're like, well,
we'll should be done, We'll should be done really really quick,
like in it now. Two and a half hours go

(33:01):
by and they just finish up that, which is like
unforeseen circumstance and Willson like you could tell Will's just
had a long day.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
When they do these big recording days for.

Speaker 8 (33:12):
People that don't know, it's like you just go and
go and go, yeah, so will sit down and I
can see the look on his face where he's like
in that mode where it's like, don't talk to me, no, yeah,
kind of like a no bullshit mode. Derek handled himself
really fucking well because I know in that spot. I
remember my first days an intern. I was very fucking nervous,
and I think that would have definitely thrown me for
a loop. But like insane circumstances that he went through,

(33:36):
very impressive.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
This might have been another time. But did you have
to be somewhere, like get on the road that day?

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Not that day? There was the other day. So we
had that day where I told them I had nothing
that day. Yeah, So me, Chef and Sherm literally sat
there and we watched all of my old ads on
my portfolio, like there's a brewery and talk called Black Abbey,
and I did this ad H called the Patron Saints.
It's my favorite thing I've ever done. But it's all
like when you go to the bar, like the girls
are best friends in the bathroom, there's a patron saying
to the bathroom bestie like this. So we watched all that,

(34:05):
We watched old serf pro ad shit like that. And
so then Will comes in and I did ask I
had chef and scharman like Yo's Will because I have
this persona of will of his barstool days, booze ponies
like all that shit. I'm like, he always a little cold.
They like it's a little bit of a test. But
it was a long day and so cool. The next
time I came in was for a recording and I
brought my buddy RJ. So that was when I was like, oh,

(34:26):
we kind of gotta go, and RJ just sat got
you in the room the whole day and I was like,
how was your day, RJ? And He's like, they're all
really cool guys. I just watched TV and smoked and
I was like, oh cool man. Like, so if you
just if you noticed him going outside and coming back in,
shout out my boy RJ. But no, it was just
it was funny for that and then coming in and
just like yeah, I mean everyone's obviously been been great
for but it's so funny and you're right, it does

(34:47):
feel like it's been a year already, which is great.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
I love it. Just did you talking through your hiring
process reminded me of mine and like how.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
I truly thought you were getting punked?

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yes, I know, you know, like I yeah, Like I
got a text from Will. I'm like it's like is
this match cars? And I'm like yeah, He's like it's
Will Compton and I'm like bullshit. Well, I'm just sitting
next to Will.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Thinking the photo like say this.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
And I like looked up the area code. I'm like,
it's from Missouri. I know Will's from Missouri and he
said it's Will. It's Will Compton picture for reference, and
it's like it's his LinkedIn photo from his coll like
his senior year of college and like one of the Yeah,
it was like like this is like I literally went
home like yeah, I think Will Compton texted me but

(35:38):
I don't know. But then, so, like how you said
you were waiting for a couple of days, I was
waiting for like two or three weeks, I mean, and
I was bombarding JT with emails.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
Versus Clumb texting. Yeah, there was at least day with club.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Intentional. Do you think Will's was intentional? Like what when
he made you wait that long?

Speaker 3 (35:59):
No, it was from it was more so from you
and Will, but you guys were also just at Green
Bay right, and like, I think you may have gone
somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
I think so. Yeah, And there was like another person
in the interview process too, and essentially it was just
Will and I kind of trying to do it while
also doing.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
The other stuff, like also having a ship ton of
stuff to painting. But yeah, I was like, I I
think I've sent JP like ten email.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
I was like, hey, yeah, that time was about the
size of how many people we have in this room.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
It was us three and Bloss and Boss.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
But like even Boss was kind of like there are
sometimes literally just a three of you.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
Blas crazy it's part time. And then Will and Taylor,
I mean when.

Speaker 6 (36:43):
You walked in and just saw us, well, I know
we've talked about many times. Was sitting at the desk
the same table I was working.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Do we have this No, no, this is still still He.

Speaker 5 (36:55):
Actually sat at the desk in the back of the bus.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
To work and we shared this damn yeah it come ups,
crazy dude.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
It was I literally walked Yeah, it was. It was too.
It was two tables like that back to back, and
then like it was like a t yeah, yeah, I
had the TA and like we worked by that bathroom
in the back on the other side, and if one
of you, one of us had a bad poop, everybody
was smelling it like it was we were in the change.
No for real, but yeah, when I walked back, there

(37:26):
was like, oh.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
This basically sounds like everyone's hiring process was interesting.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
Convention was the job.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
I was long as crap. I had to make a
make a log out of some clips they sent me
while I was like also trying to legitmate rent and
I was in Florida. My first day, I had to
upload a full episode from my laptop in Florida. The
episode was late. Will blast me on Twitter. It was crazy, damn.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
JP's first eight in office was Dave episode.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
Yeah our first time.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Oh my god, the kid the at South can of
When I was talking to one of the classes, they
asked like, how to like face failure and I told
them I was like, well, kind of at my job,
when you mess up, it gets blasted out to everybody,
so you have to do it head on. And I
use that example of them of Will being like, we
just hired somebody, but apparently he can't get the episode

(38:17):
out on time, so like everybody let at j Hovey
thirty four. No, I was like, so basically, I guess
the best way to face it is to bring back bullying.

Speaker 5 (38:25):
And that got a few laughs.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
But you know college is different now.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
And we can change that with this campaign, Okay, and
that's why we're here coming down to cocky.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Speaking of campaigns, you and Coop have been on a
camp started a little bit of a seed.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
Yeah, I mean I don't I don't even remember how
they noticed that. Do we want to say the name?
What about when we start? Well the journey? Yeah, from
the beginning, I feel like so, I guess midway through
this year, I just started cracking seeds at were like
every day, just doing it, and I posted a tweet
about it, like whatever, David's the standard some flowersy brand,

(39:07):
and I like tweeted like I found my people because
someone else tweeted about it. And that was like midyear.
And then you get here. You like seeds and we're
just like cracking them. And then we clump wanted to
order smack in a some flower seed brand that they
do a lot of promotion on TikTok. Maybe you've seen them,
but they have a lot of flavors. So we just
ordered a ton, like a bucket full of them, and
so me and Derek started ranking them on the wall

(39:30):
and I posted the picture on Twitter, and then like
a week or two later, of the posted rankings, they
reached out, like to my tweet directly.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
I think, yeah, oh yeah, they commented right underneath it.

Speaker 5 (39:40):
They commented on our rankings, and then you know, back
and forth and DM a little bit, and then they
sent us a care package.

Speaker 8 (39:46):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (39:47):
And so we got that and we have a video
that we will be releasing soon a reaction to them,
which is.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
Fun it's in.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
It's in.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
It's in Coops computers, you'll get it out. And the
balls you're skipping too, it's funny. We Uh so I
started to take a little bit over the streams that
we're sitting at that table and it's me Jared Chef
and then Coop on the left side, and we are
all like sharing two bags of David's, which or no
of a bigs and.

Speaker 7 (40:15):
Might not have been enough for a stream full on
dugout over there. We're sitting, we're sitting on the table
like we're at the ball.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
And so we we started on David's and then I
was like, yo, may I put you on and we
switched the bigs which is Hidden Valley, and so we're
ripping them and Jared is like at the computer coop
chef me and he just goes, y'all know you can
buy your own individual bags, right, Fuck this guy, he's
not a seed boy. So we started doing that and
then Chinook reached out and sent us little care package,

(40:46):
reached out to It's become a And that's the one
thing I'll say, like if I have a gift of
like content shit, sniff out opportunity like that, like this
is a thing that we're gonna we're gonna go with forever.

Speaker 7 (40:57):
It happened so fast too.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
And kick to a special shout out as well because
their partner with We don't have a lot of baseball
fans here, some of you all I know who is
Bobby Wait Junior, one of the best players in in baseball,
And they sent us signed baseball Bobby Wait Junior because
he's he's partnered with them, which I thought was like
a really cool I said, yeah, it's on my desk,
Bobby Wit signed baseball. He plays for the Rangers, the

(41:21):
Royal Royles. Was he the guy that made that diving
catch when we were in Saint Louis game. Yeah, that's
why I know that name. He's one of the best
short shortstop.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Fun fact.

Speaker 7 (41:33):
He also went to the same high school as Max Crosby.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Oh so.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
Boys, I stole that from He didn't go to college player.

Speaker 7 (41:43):
He went to the same high school with Colleville and
Dave w.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
So we had a car ride my buddy that does
like events in Pittsburgh. We were going to Philly to
do one of his. He did this hotel event for
the Kifton Hotels and so it's called Clocked Out, and
we took it to the Philly one and we had
me his videographer, another guy that was just rolling with us,
and then the dj A on a sprinter van. I
bought six bags of seeds and me and the dj

(42:08):
pound threw them on the way there. My one buddy
was like just a couple of seed boys chipmunks in
the back. And so seed boys has stuck with me
for like I love them and just sit there and
do it. In the tweet that Coops talk about it started,
it said, don't let anyone tell you that you can't
just rip a bag of sunflower seeds at work.

Speaker 7 (42:23):
It's like yeah, And I was ripping a bag of
some flower seeds at work.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
Ripping through bag you know who.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Yeah, been really ripping through them as of late. That's yeah,
Ku be favorite.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
I thought you were about to say, because brought something
like everyone is on he brought something to the zoo.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Tigers last night.

Speaker 5 (42:49):
At the Zoo.

Speaker 6 (42:50):
I was cracking some. I love that work saying cracking too.
I was cracking some on my drive to South Carolina
on Friday.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Yeah. He was like, I brought some seeds for you
because they got the ones.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
Oh yeah. The first thing you said though, because I
remember we went to it was Taylor was too, because
we bought the bigs and Taylor ran through one of
my bags and I was like, yeah, you know it
is what it is?

Speaker 5 (43:12):
What's that you can't bring like just one portion of something,
it'll be gone. Yeahs let's go.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
I didn't know they lived that long.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
That's yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
That's a nice there's a hole up there. Uh he
ripped through nothing Like what the hole? Could it come
from the hole he ripped through a bag or whatever?
And uh. I basically stopped at a BUCkies and I
was like, let me see what flavors they have there
and they had Chinook, and so I bought a couple
of them and I just was like, I'm not bringing
these in yet. I just I did. I bought like
lemon Pepper didn't love it, and I we come in

(43:43):
and we're like your bigs, and JP goes, if you
guys ever heard of Chinook? And I'm like, fuck, that
could have been such a bonding moment with JP. Fuck,
but we got Chinook and you got your bag, Jlipino
another flavor.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
Another funny story about the seeds is I went to
the dentist a few weeks ago, yes, and she after
she claimed teeth the High Genesis River, She's like, do
you I thought this was a wild questions.

Speaker 7 (44:05):
She's like, do you like dip or do lose those
zen pouches?

Speaker 4 (44:09):
And I'm like, no, I don't.

Speaker 7 (44:10):
She's like, well, the tissue like in your cheek on
the left side of your mouth is like white and
kind of like ruugh, like like it's been you know,
like it's it's distressed. I'm like, oh, She's like like.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
So you don't.

Speaker 5 (44:22):
She's like you don't.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
She's like, you don't do what you talk about.

Speaker 5 (44:29):
But she's like she's like questioning me, and I'm like,
could it be from sunflower seeds?

Speaker 7 (44:33):
And she's like, yeah, it could the salt in the sodium.

Speaker 5 (44:36):
I was like, I was like, yeah, well, I just
basically riped seeds from nine am to I'm nine to five,
so nine to five seed ripper every day.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
What did she say about that you have to change?

Speaker 5 (44:48):
She's like, she's like, I've never She's like I've seen
She's like, I've never seen that before. Like that is
so interesting. And then she's like, oh, I'm glad, Like
I'm glad it seeds and not tobacco.

Speaker 7 (44:58):
I'm like, you're not my mom. Also, but then I
followed up and I was like, also, is this gonna
be like a problem though? And she's like maybe, like
super long term, but like there's no gum damage. I'm like,
all right, I'm gonna keep up.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
Problem. Maybe I'll switch. You guys put your seeds on
the same side every time.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
Every time I got to mix it up, I've had
to switch.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
I tried to switch while I was driving.

Speaker 8 (45:20):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
It was a disaster.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
That's what I'm saying. That's why you probably have white.

Speaker 5 (45:24):
I'm not there yet.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
Yeah, I feel like you get there you get playing
baseball and ripping seeds all the time. I mean, you
just kind of get used to.

Speaker 6 (45:30):
The best sport baseball is. They'd have the bucket in
the dugout. I would just get a handful put them
in my back pocket.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Yeah, so you got you guys would have like a
full bucket of just one of the yeah, one.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Of the dads or keep Yeah it's just the bucket
that we have down there, but you empty. But they're
just I mean those are just O g fla like seeds. Brother,
we got fucking cheeseburger. Now we got loaded.

Speaker 7 (45:53):
Yeahs a ship a cheese.

Speaker 5 (45:57):
If you want to send Coop and Derek more seeds,
be amazing.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
Because we've looked up some brands. Maybe is there anybody
that you're you're I mean, Biggs is the one, but
they don't got an next account. They got an Instagram David's. Like,
my thing with David's is that's the one that will
destroy everything in your mouth salt they can you know
which we'll disrespect David's.

Speaker 7 (46:18):
Yeah, And that's what I was doing before we started.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
You're an animal for that, Yeah, That's what I was
doing before the hardcore.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
S bro chinook and uh smacking. They are both low
so they're low SODIUMIG. My big issue with David, they're
a little tiny fucking seeds like they've they got comfortable
at the top of a market that really has now
started to catch up to them, and we you know,
we're in the ground, Floyd, we're scratching the surface right
because David, they got little tiny seeds. All the other
ones I mean big specifically backyard barbecue. That thing is

(46:55):
the garlic parm.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
I mean, yeah, I was sleeping on this.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
The in the.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
Sugar is a lead.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
I'm I'm I'm a sweet boys.

Speaker 7 (47:08):
I've been on the pepper literally like I'm shoving pepper
into my mouth, like raw pepper.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
Salt pepper.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Maybe I guess that, I mean, we all we all
have that our side quest. I don't know if it's
a joint side quest for the both of you, just
more seeds.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
When I heard you guys talking about side quests, I
do have question. Is it one that you're like promising
you're doing or is more just kind of like a thing,
because I think making that official sick.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
It's kind of like your side content, Like my side
content is flag golf.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Mind's painting. I have done about it, but I can
feel my bones man.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Sale for her tails, make it to midnight for him,
and then we need to get cooped to start doing
some streaming stuff.

Speaker 7 (47:54):
And I just have not been on the game as much.
And I say that I've been saying that for.

Speaker 6 (47:58):
I would like to get back on the game, get
my hand muscles worn back up before.

Speaker 7 (48:03):
It's almost gaming season.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
The winner like it's a little older.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
I feel like gaming. I feel like gaming seasons once
football is over.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
I don't know if I downloaded Skate wrong.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
I saw on my marketplace or my friends list. It
was like like Gary downloaded and I was like, dang, downloaded,
But I never saw you actually in.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
I went in and it was like the trial or
some ship.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
It's an early accident, that's what it is.

Speaker 5 (48:26):
Skate Skater literally made my guy and just rode for
like five minutes.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
Island. Yeah, yeah, you have to take challenges.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
Takes you like fifteen to twenty minutes to get off.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
One of my gripes. Skate is the probably the best
place to skate in that game is tutorial Island, and
you cannot access it but go back. No, but there's
a whole city with like four different sectors in it,
and it's four different like cities within a major city.
But anything that's a free game and you have that
much to do in it, I'm all on it. And
I think I mentioned this in a couple episodes ago,

(49:02):
but just to feel something for video games at my
old age of about to be thirty one, that is
such a massive win. I just like crave that, Like, man,
when I get home, I'm gonna make dinner and I'm
gonna play that game until I go to sleep. And
that they it does not happen a lot anymore so
this week, so I'm nervous and we're like hitting.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
The Yeah, that's how That's how I am.

Speaker 4 (49:26):
Like that, Scar, what's the first game you felt that with?

Speaker 8 (49:29):
Four?

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, Callity four was seventh grade for me. Yeah,
Modern Warfare. It just changed my life with video games,
and it also was a really big moment in how
to share things. I had two younger brothers, so at
the top of the pecking order, it's like obviously I'm
playing first, but then once the younger brothers start aging
and they're like going to mom while I'm like, you know,

(49:50):
on an epic kill Streak. Mom's coming in and she's like,
after this game, James is up and I'm like fine,
and then she's like and then Joey's up and I'm like, okay, this.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
Is too gonna get cold.

Speaker 5 (49:59):
Yeah, I'm gonna get cold.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
But yeah, call thorty four is a big one for me.
I want to go back kind of into your life
outside of seeds and working. Well, what is what is
Derek like to do? Yeah, well, I'm very curious as myself,
and I know the listener is too.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:14):
I mean genuinely, it's funny because I feel a little
bit lost from it. Like the things that I've done
in my life, the number one thing is I have
had which we did. I'm not ever going to say
we stopped. We pause doing it. For the last seven
six or seven years. Every Thursday from six to eight,
I have done a live stream podcast called two Beers Deep,
and I stopped it to emphasize on our streams, but

(50:35):
also just like hold on, I need to focus on
this to hit it. So love podcasting like that is
my highlight, favorite thing ever I have. I believe it's
at eighty five and eighty five ranking of a brewery system.
So beer is always been a part of my life,
like in terms of just being around the bar scene.
I worked in a restaurant. I grew up with breweries.

(50:56):
That's social for breweries. So I have a list in
It's all across the country from Hawaii. I have some
in Seattle, some in Philly, so obviously a ton in Pittsburgh, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit,
like all these so ranking breweries, I have my own system.
It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
I have a.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Spreadsheet can have a power ranking of just Nashville because
I'd love to hear that that's breweries for me. I'm
a chef's one because I love it, just like a
domestic light beer. And obviously breweries you're not going to
have just like you know, a course of bud light.
Well yeah, I know you're listening to a bud light.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
I used to work at one. I used to work
at a beer distributor, so like I've got it really
big into I Pas and then two, I used to
work on a TV show that would go to different breweries,
so that guy main big into it. So I'm I'm
a big I P a guy.

Speaker 4 (51:42):
It's funny almost bud like bud like PA and it
is this big like Christ. But so to that point,
you're like, Okay, I like light beer. I don't really
know if a brewery I would hundred percent, but I
would say you have to and obviously you're gonna know
about it, have to go to Smith and Lentz. So
Pilsner's one of the reasons. So for example, like you

(52:03):
can see the best in Nashville, but you can see
like how crazy and the scoring systems, and it's all filtered,
and I'll share it out. I give the link to everybody.
It's beer space, food scene people. Is the model beer
is pretty standard. It's it's do you hit all the
flas Like for example, Beard or Black Abbey in Nashville

(52:24):
just does their beers. They don't really do specials. They
do some collabse here and there. They did one called
Dancing Mannequin. Those good, But like, how good is the
beer that you do? Do you have all the flavors
as your red el or red Al? Do you experiment?
Do you try some shit? Space is the place that
you're in. Do you just do it well? There's some
breweries that this would be the whole area. Okay, cool?
Is it set up well? Do I feel comfortable in it.
Is it a sick venue food scene? Can I bring food?

(52:47):
Or their food trucks? Do you serve food? Because not
all breweries need to have it. Smith and Lentz Pizza
puts them right now. Smith and Lentz is my third
top brewery on this entire list. And then people. People
is the people that work there, the people that are there,
the people that sit at the bar, the community around it.
How close are you to it? If there's somebody at
the bar that's just being a jerk to people, your
people score goes down, which I know is not the

(53:08):
breweri's fault, but like that's that's what you're dragged in
and shit. So the top ones I have from Tennessee
Smith and Lentz right now is third. They come in
at a total score of sixteen point five out of twenty,
which the highest is seventeen point six.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
Rate.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
Yeah, because each one, five, ten, fifteen, twenty on it.
Fate la force. Have you heard of that Fate of force?

Speaker 8 (53:30):
Is?

Speaker 4 (53:30):
It's fucking gas first and foremost it's in Wedgwood, Houston,
So bro So do you know when you come to
those train tracks and you make it right and there's
never never make a left. You go past that apartment building,
go up the hill way.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Is it the place that sandwich spot is.

Speaker 5 (53:45):
It's at the top of the hill by ol Fourno.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
Yeah, it is the brewery next thing.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
I have been there. That place is a vibe.

Speaker 4 (53:52):
Iron No Fate La Force, but there is probably an Iron.
There's a something there. Fala Force opened about two years ago.

Speaker 5 (54:00):
Gonna pause. When I went to grab Jack, I just
got skin, heard a noise and I wasn't fail for
us to sick.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
They do a cold Ship by Pa, which is one
of the fewst places I found here. Really good. They
do Star Wars Day every year. Just a total vibe.
The people are awesome. Love going there. When they had
the craft brew Convention in town. I bummed tickets off
my buddy who makes a can drink in PA and
they had a bunch of parties and that was at
one of them, which was unbelievable. I'm trying to get
in this dude. It's my favorite's bearded Iris is sitting

(54:28):
here at eleven. Homestyle is the greatest beer I think
that I've had. It is Yeah, Ipa and it's it's
so crazy because it is an ipa, but it's an ale,
but it's not quite an ale. It's juicy, but it's hazy.
Every time someone comes in, I hand them one of those.
And right now, Bearded Iris they're at a fifteen point eight,
which is great.

Speaker 7 (54:46):
Do you have a Southern Grists on there that one
hits close at home?

Speaker 4 (54:49):
Southern Grist the reason they are not higher. So they're
eighteenth right now. And chef and I talked about this.
I have not accounted the ranking for the restaurant in
east in that restaurant s I know it does. I
just have not updated. But they're My issue with them
is and it's not an issue with them, but they
just they knock hazes out of the bark. Hazes are

(55:09):
a fad and if that's all you're doing, I just
want to see. But they do have some sick ass.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Beer over there.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
And then another one tenfold. If you guys have ever
heard of tenfold, It is out I forget the name
of the area, just a little bit outside of town.
There's like a party foul out there. They do gluten
free pizza, so my fiance is gluten free. Amazing. They
just hit all of their beers to a beautiful point.
They have a stage outside. Every time you go there's
dogs running around Donaldson Yes, yeah, thank you, yeah yeah yeah.

(55:38):
So that one rips and it just dude, I mean
Barik Brewing if you've ever heard of that. Barique Brewing
is next to so Titan Stadium and all that industrial
park before you get to the nights in. It's in
one of those loading docks and I literally, dude, So
I pulled up and it's just loading dock ship everywhere,

(55:58):
and then a wooden door that looks like I'm going
to fucking Narnia and you go in, it's hole in
the wall. They're the only place here that does cast
brew it. So they brew the beer, they put it
into an oak cast or a whiskey cask.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Into it.

Speaker 4 (56:14):
They if you go in, they just have barrel like
oak cask barrels everywhere. And what happens is Black Abbey
had this for a little bit. Jamison will note their barrels,
how many rotations they do, and then they ship those
barrels to specific number of breweries. So Black Abby for
a while was a Jamison partner. And you make the
beer and then age it in that they age their
beers and they do a good job with like cherry tart,

(56:35):
sours and things. But they do cask beers, and so
they'll let it age in the cask and sit there.
It just deepens the flavor. It's just sick like it
just it makes it different.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
This is so sick.

Speaker 5 (56:44):
What about thinking the jackalope is near us?

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (56:49):
Monday night.

Speaker 4 (56:52):
I want to remember.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
There's one in Oh I'm thinking of fat Bottom, which.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
I'm getting so to go through?

There's Pocono brewing in here. I have there's a couple
in Philly and I'll tell you flat out, dude, it's
not their fault. Forest and Maine is one on here.
I went during COVID, So it doesn't there have a
low score due to space and food because we just

(57:54):
got to go talk about some of the other Tennessee
ones in here. Marble Fox if you guys have ever
heard of Marble Boxes, They took over for jackal Ope
in the Gulch. So they're across from finn Googles.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
Yeah, McDougall's and like that two hands. Yeah, they they
do a really good IPA. Never see anybody in there.

Speaker 4 (58:13):
I used to go in because I go to that Scouts.
Paying for parking sucks, so i'd park the brewery. You
get free parking for a beer, walk over to my
haircut and go home.

Speaker 5 (58:20):
Do you have what's it called chef the one the
zool Do you have on there? And I know Soul

I will say the two that are at the top
of this list are if anybody knows me, not a shock.
They're both in Pittsburgh, so extremely biased. But here's kind

(01:00:28):
of what I've been forcing Clump to do. When we
go for the draft. I'm forcing him to let everyone go.
I have no idea if we can make that happen,
and I'm forcing him to let us all stay there
for a week for me to show you guys around.
Probably not gonna happen, but Pittsburgh for the d O.

Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
Hell yeah, it'd be amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
Number two on the list in the country is a
brewery called Trace Brewing. Trace Brewing is done by a
gentleman he used to His name is Adam Soorma is
their head of like their marketing. He drove a mini

get PTO to go do it. I went and bought it.
All I miss timed is this past Christmas. I missed
time when I was leaving to go home.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
On convicted Days.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
Convicted conviction you're convicted about something. Conviction to tell us you.

Speaker 7 (01:01:40):
Feel real strongly about it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Right, What would be an example for me?

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
I thought I was like line of cockylat you didn't
go to Now the conviction is like you're doing. Conviction
is a strong feeling about something. So I'm convicted to
come in here and do the best work I can do.
It's a driving force. I'm gonna do everything I can
not convict and young Jeezy, I'm learning. Yeah I have

(01:02:04):
beer though, yes I brewed it fucked up. My whole
apartment smelled like malt for like six months. It was
this past Christmas messed up when I was driving home
by a week, so it wouldn't have been ready and
if I would have left it it would have gone bad.
Poured it out. It was the best smelling beer I've
ever poured out.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
But I have the kid.

Speaker 5 (01:02:21):
I tried to make one in college, and uh, what
is it like before the last two weeks? You put
yeaston didn't do that.

Speaker 6 (01:02:30):
Uh went to go check on it after the two
weeks and there was like this layer of shit at
the bottom. I was like, okay, maybe that just like
happens or whatever. Drank it, drink and so so sick
and like insanely buzzed.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
It was.

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
It was insane.

Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
I remember being like, oh my god, I'm gonna pass out.
And I woke up and was like that couldn't have
been good for me at all, And then looked at
up up and you.

Speaker 5 (01:03:00):
I was like, oh, missed probably.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
The most important.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
So were you just like throwing up stuff?

Speaker 5 (01:03:06):
I mean, I like felt sick it was more of
just like a hot like flash and like a hard buzz,
like just in my head and truly just laid down
and then woke up like a couple hours later.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
Did you meet Shannon yesterday.

Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
Or at the girl that?

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
I don't know? No?

Speaker 4 (01:03:22):
No, I only got to say Hidi for a second
because I was with the nephew and they pulled us in.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
She's she's originally from pa and they live in Philly,
but her brother is a brewmaster a small place.

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
Uh where pa is she's from Bethlehem.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
It's in fish Town where Yeah, it's like the whole parlor,
but I don't know. It's a small one.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
Nice that's in Philly, right, fish fish It's kind of
like in a it's like northern it's kind of near
like the drug area.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
Also some breaking, so to say, first time I asked
Shane to be my girlfriend at the zoo Saturday.

Speaker 5 (01:04:04):
No, let's go it's quest.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Yeah, that honestly kind of is my side quest. I
did say the end of the year getting married. I
don't know if that's gonna happen before December, but you
felt very confident about it. I took Shannon down to
Huntsville for a Billy Strings concert. It was her first
time she's been enjoying the music. She knows how much
I love it, and she was like, jokingly in the
first few weeks that we had kind of been seeing
each other, she was like, I'm not saying, like you're

(01:04:31):
going to ask me to be your girlfriend, but if
the time of her comes, She's like, I don't want
it to be some grand gesture. And so we're sitting there,
Billy is playing like a very beautiful love ballad, and
like I have my arm around her, and it's like
the whole place is lit up red. I'm like, this
would be an ideal moment to whisper be like do
you want to be my girlfriend? But I'm remembering she
didn't want that, even though in my head, like I

(01:04:52):
feel like she still would have, so I don't. But
we're sitting outside the show afterwards. The O'Ryan Amphitheater is
an amazing venue. If you ever have the opportunity to go,
I would highly encourage it. After the show's done, outside
of the venue, they have like essentially like a small
space where a band plays, and they have like they're
serving beer and stuff for like a few hours, We're

(01:05:12):
kind of sitting on this staircase behind it and I
they're playing Quartz the Killer, an awesome Neil Young song
that's one of my favorites ever, and I'm just like
feeling this moment. I'm like, I'm so much fun, Like
she's just never been an issue with me. And I go, man,
like we're sitting on ten stairs. I go, this would

(01:05:34):
be she watched me play skate a lot ago. This
would be an awesome ten set to hit on skate
and she laughs, and I just go, do you want
to be my girlfriend? And she literally is like, no
fucking way, you just said that, and then like she's like,
well yeah, but like and then so I you know,
it was fun.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
But that's awesome yea, because because if she didn't laugh
with the ten step or didn't understand.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Let's get out of here.

Speaker 4 (01:06:02):
I'm glad you asked, though, because when I met my fiance,
we had that thing of like I did ask her,
and I have other friends who the guy was like, dude,
you asked her, and the girl was like, yeah, you
haven't fucking asked me and what are we doing? So
I'm glad that you asked because I feel like that's
always a conversation with people was like, does it just
happen or do you I like the moment, Yeah, I'm
with you, and I.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
Guess we are doing relationship advice. I'm not want to
be giving it, but very grateful to to have met
shann And she's awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
She's she's done, she's just you guys know me and
have known me.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
For a while, and like I can fluctuate with my moods.
She keeps me very in the middle, which is great,
and like on her worst days is like how I
could operate on like my just like normal days. So
it's it's nice to have like a good, just like
person around. So yeah, I don't know why I kind
of dove down the trouble, but the next time y'all meet,

(01:06:53):
I'm excited. She loves beer.

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
Yeah, like her brother's sick.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
She did graphic design, and so before she was really working,
she was designing beer labels for her brothers like three,
which is super cool.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
That's the dream.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
And so I know that he's got that and you know,
kind of the same general location. I know the pirates are.
You know, it's not.

Speaker 4 (01:07:13):
That I give no dicks to anybody that's like, oh,
you're from Pa, you must love Jowell and beid On
like the other side, it's like six hours that way.
But no, that's sick.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
That a question. Yeah, are you going up there for Christmas?

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
Probably not because Jimmy is coming from Hawaii and coming
back here, so that's like a tough one. Her parents
don't live there anymore. Her parents are retired now and
live uh forget some retirement kind of comedy in Florida somewhere. Yeah,
let's it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
Because the reason I asked is like, one, we could up.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
If we do two ca Yeah, if we do, possibly,
I would like to go up and check out her
brothers like brewery and stuff at some point. That's so
we'll see how it goes. But yeah, next time we're
all hanging around, she would love to hear and see
we're scale because that's not what I expected you to say,
was your hobby? Right, Yeah, dude, I feel like I'm

(01:08:07):
just learning today.

Speaker 4 (01:08:08):
Yeah, there are other hobbies, but that's the one that
like I made a fucking spreadsheet for you.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
Wait, so if you had to go one v one Yeah,
seeds versus beer.

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
Oh, it's not close. It's beer and the reason it's
not like I love here's how a word. If I
could sit on my desk and drink as many beers
as I have seeds instead at my job, that would
be the dream too. Uh No beers. It's funny as
like when I was doing thoughtching the bench stuff. Me
and my co host on our podcast two Beers Deep,
we say it because you're at your best when you're

(01:08:40):
two beers deep. You can stop drinking and still get
home and be fine, have a good night, or that's
the peak when you have the third one in the
night keeps going like two is the perfect number. And
so we started doing that because during our pre pro
we'd have two beers out of the six pack and
then have some more there.

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
But we do.

Speaker 4 (01:08:54):
We did vlogs of it going to breweries, and it's
just it's a different thing because it's all encompassing, Like
if we get to go a seedery that would be sick,
but just torn the breweries and meeting the people in
the stories and like her brother, like I have. One
of my best friends went to college with a guy
who got kicked out of his fraternity, who moved to
Denver and opened up a brewery and he's just sent

(01:09:14):
me merch just because we've DMed and been like, hey,
this is sick. He's had a new one now and
I can't remember the name of it. But it's just
like a weird, thickest thieves community that I feel like
I'm just like a reporter on the outside of it.

Speaker 5 (01:09:26):
Yeah, dude, just a beat writer for beer.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
I remember when we need a beer boys.

Speaker 5 (01:09:30):
Like craft beer popped off and the labels are what
drew me in first.

Speaker 4 (01:09:35):
The labels are sick and I'm not on my phone.
I have a blog that I would love from back
in the day to show you guys, do you have
off the top of your head, like your top three
beer canned design.

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
While you think we're also out of hour ten minutes
on the podcast, So just keep.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
That in mind. Yeah, how are we at a battery
with those?

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
I well, that's looking too. The reason I asked because
I've always thought like the Voodoo Ranger ones are sick.

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
Coming out with a new I P a really or
like a tropical I POS.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
The logos or the way the can looked is how
I would pick. I would just like that one looks cool.
I'm gonna try it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
For sure, this is awesome, Like it does taste like ship.

Speaker 5 (01:10:20):
What's the monkey one? The milky one monkey magic? Is
it magic?

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
There's they have Golden Monkey and Sour Monkey. Yeah, those
are great. I am a sucker that one.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
That one's monkey got me to.

Speaker 4 (01:10:33):
Golden Monkey's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
That one's Downtownes the key of can that I actually
kept and I'm not even a big beer drinker, but
the can looks so sick.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
It is.

Speaker 4 (01:10:40):
There's one called Lacto Cooler. There's a brewery called Voodoo,
not Voodoo Ranger, but Voodoo that I interviewed their graphic
designer just one day for our pod and it is
the I can't remember it, the slimer from Goose Bump
and they have it on the can and it's holographic
on the can. I'll get them to The sentiment was cool.

Speaker 5 (01:10:58):
Because obviously it I feel like within the craft beer
community is a bunch of people that have like artistic ability,
crazy dude, and so for them to get to show
it on they're tattoo artists without a needle at this point,
like most beer guys want to be tattoo artists.

Speaker 4 (01:11:13):
Is how I've always met And the other thing about it.
We used to go for Black Abbey and when we
did their marketing and just look at Turnip Truck and
look at the cans and just see shit, And I'm like,
welliars aren't selling because they're sticker and you can see
the sticker and it looks weird compared to these cans
that are all madded. Then you got like, when you're
looking at there's just so much intricacies to it, and
it all comes down to the weight of it, the
amount of money are you gonna store it? All, like
all these logistical things that Luckily, that's why I'm a

(01:11:35):
fan of it, not a part of it because it's crazy,
but it's sick. Yeah, a lot of cans, dude.

Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
We've talked about doing an inside the bus vlog for Golf.
Whether it's kind of turn a little bit. Who knows.
Potentially we could do a little brewery crawl, bring the
fucking leader of the pack with us, take us top.

Speaker 4 (01:11:52):
In Nashville and go We'll rent one of those brew
hop the green trolley buses and just go around and
I'll dial the way home and still be a happy
man like that.

Speaker 3 (01:12:03):
That'd be dope, love it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
I have a blog here that I read for clump
one day that is titled top ten beers to have
that I would love to get your guys opinion on.
This is from I Believe twenty twenty, so I'll go
fast on it. I wrote a scenario where I was
just like, these are my top ten favorite beers. Ten
the first family member beer. Nothing quite hits like the
first time your cousin or family member offers you a

(01:12:24):
beer for the first time legally of course. Nine the
oh my god, there's one beer left?

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
Beer?

Speaker 4 (01:12:31):
Have you ever thought damn amount of beer? And magically
one appears in the bottom of the fridge. Somewhat up
above is looking out for you. Wow, there's a beer.
Eight The Pto beer, whether you have PTO or not.
Cracking a cold one while sending out the last email
before a long vacation really starts the VAKA off on
the right foot. This one is it's climbed up the rankings. Now.
The hotel balcony beer, whether it's a new city or

(01:12:52):
just celebrating the one that you love, something about pretending
to be rich and famous, That just hits home. Six,
and this is controversial, The airport beer at six easily
the most underappreciated beer, but everyone has it is in
internet mogul. Where's she off to Hawaiian shirts in October?
He must be going to Sweden drinking beers at six am.
Mitch five, the first one at the reception bar beer.

(01:13:14):
Every single wedding reception has ended in a hangover, but
nothing is more refreshing than the first beer after you
watch your loved ones say I do big points if
you're the one that says this rounds on me at
the open bar.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:27):
Number four the before going out shower beer. Yeah, music
is a must, but I didn't want to just add
shower beer. It has to be about a build up.
Top three the new city beer. New breweries and establishments
are half the fun of traveling, but cracking the beer
in a new city feels adventurous. Number two The weird
day drinking beer, starting off or staring at a thirty

(01:13:49):
rack out of Saturday morning. Nothing compares to it. Not
birds or alarm clops can wake you up, faster coffee
can't compete. The world is your oyster, and the number
one beer of all time is the next beer. I'm
a sucker for a good cliche, but nothing is as
good as your next beer.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
That's awesome. I wasn't aware of how good of a
rider you are, man.

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
Yeah, yeah, you.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Really bring this in Like we're there, I can taste that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:14):
I have three hundred pages on my blog website of
just shipped. My first one is called f James Harrison,
and I didn't put it out for a week because
I was like, what if he reads it and kills me?
But I put it out because he had gone to
the Patriots that.

Speaker 3 (01:14:26):
Day, so I don't think there's barely that. That may
have been the best way to end off the pod.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
Yeah, because what's the best pod?

Speaker 3 (01:14:35):
The next one? Oh my god, campaign and we'll see
you next and we'll see you next week.
