Speaker 2 (00:00):
Mark Blazer over there, Josh Cease, of course, Zach Attack
is producing. And then we have Chuck Douglas joining us
in studio. Who's trying to drink the bourbon that's in here.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
I was, I was, I was, I was sniffing. I
was enjoying the aroma. Try it. I'm liking this. Try it.
It's four branches.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
It is uh, it's got a cinnamony kind of it's
I don't know, I feel like it's a little more
complex than a lot of bourbons.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
There. There's a very very very strong after zest. Yes,
that is not typical in bourbon.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
That's the cinnamon.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's yeah, it comes, it comes back up through the
I can't say that I hate it. I'd have to
get used to it. It's different.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
It is definitely different the nice bottle.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Four branches of course, representing the military, folks, right, Yeah,
it's military created if you will, well, that's.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Why it's got the extra Z to it. If it's
representing the military, that's you know.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
This is the founder's blend that the retirement boss Don
Ross brought in for us.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
All right now, is that's sitting on the sitting on
my throat here. Yeah, I'm liking it more as I'm
sitting here.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, I finished.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
I'd have to get used to it. It's it's got
it that after kind of explosion, the aromatic explosion that happened.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
But I like it.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I like when they don't taste like the run of
the mill bourbon something different. Yeah, absolutely, and that cinnamony
kind of thing. And there's like kind of Vanella E
kind of thing that's happening there. But yet it's got
a nice punch to it as well, I feel like,
but you're a bourbon guy usually yeah, okay, do you
have a go to bourbon or not?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Really?

Speaker 3 (01:43):
No? Actually, I love I love bouncing from one bottle
to the next, so I can do exactly what I'm
doing right now. Okay, well this is good. This sucks,
and you know, if the bottle sits for a long
long time, I know I'm never buying one of those again,
because I remember, just from the fact, there's nothing out
of it that I didn't like it.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
I mean, John more or less. You know, he's a
Crown Royal guy. That's mainly what he.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Consumes, real Crown Royal or the flavor crap no, no, no, no,
straight Crown.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
I drink Crown had the peach I mean he's tried that.
I tried them, but I don't drink them. Like last night,
for instance, me and my friends Alex and Marty, we
were at at Spoons and we got what we call Alan's.
Allen's a bartender there, Allan's famous peach shots and it's
uh Crown royal apple pineapple juice and a splash of

(02:35):
orange juice.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
See that sounds fantastic to me, dude.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
It's every time the three of us get together, we
always take to like we have a we have a
circle of rotation. Like I had to buy around last
night and then I think it's back, it's onto Marty now,
but like we keep that. So what we do is Marty, Yeah,
Marty McFly now that he's way more arrogant than Marty McFly.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
From my brain is trying to picture the flavors that
you just chuck. I can't. It's great and I never
had that. I can tell you I love it right now.
You're a pineapple freak. I am. I am a pineapple freak.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Is it just over ice? Is it Margarita's style? But
shaking Okay, shake.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Important, chillah chilled, shaken into a.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Atmosphere, Give me a beach atmosphere or something like that
where I'm relaxing, got the sandals on and something.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, I could. I could listen two of those and
you'll be on the beach. It doesn't matter where you're at.
I learned.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
And the first time I remembered that was a little
thing called Long Island Iced Tea in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
And yeah, that's seven different kinds of holcoh sneak up on.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
You put four down before you know, and the next
thing you know, you wake up with no pants.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
In the Cleveland back then, we used to have two
for one happy hours, so I had two for one.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
But they served him in caraffts with a guy named Chow.
By the way, yes, I'm.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Sitting here at the table. I drank these two carafs.
I'm like, well, this stuff is nothing. Then I stood
up in the room said goodbye. It was oh my,
like this man, this time, we have all been there.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
I've been there with Jamison was where I've had that
same issue on Saint Patrick's Day two thousand and seven.
So March seventeen, two thousand and seven, a bar off
campus called Lucky's on South Campus.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
You lost your body? Stones did my blurning?

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Stones were scattered everywhere, but anyone seen my Shelley. So
we're sitting there in our March March eight. It was
two thousand and eight, that's right. And you know it
was good when you remember the date. I wrote it down.
It was March seven, March seventeenth. I always remember that stuff, dude.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
But we had started out, we ended up. It was
my buddy's birthday. My buddy was born on Saint Patrick's Day.
It's my best friend, best mam. I when you get,
you get where I'm going here? How close we are?

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Five car bombs and seven shots at Jamison Later. I
don't remember leaving the bar, but I am told by
my wife, who was my not even my fiance at
that point, that I had vomited all in her Honda.
That's great, all over the glove box, all on the floors.

(05:14):
I proposed to her two months later.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
She said, yes, after that, you are very lucky. But
she got me home somehow.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
She got me up the stairs at this place I
was staying and was renting a room from this this couple,
and she puts me in the chair and then she
goes to get like a washcloth to clean me up
a little bit. I felt face first out of the
chair into the TV.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
This is not the TV.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
I mean, think about the biography. You're like Billy Bob
Thornton has to play you. That's like the only person
I swear. She goes, I just hear this huge stud
and crash, and she goes. I come out of the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Listen, just sitting on the floor. The fact that you're married.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
To the same woman after witnessing that there's nothing short
of a miracle, really.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Married him in the first place, is amazing. And we
thought your buddy there, I mean, that was very and.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
We thought we thought the nineteen eighty hockey team wasn't
a miracle? Are you kidding me? This is a true ericle.
Trust me.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
My wife is I would not be in radio if
it wasn't for my wife, And I can honestly say
I don't think I'd be alive if it wasn't for
my wife.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Will I will be with that woman till the day
I died, still be renting a room at that same
place wherever I fell.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Into the team.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
You probably still being the room with somebody.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
That does sound good, though, Seriously, that that shot, yeah,
that famous peach shot. Well, what's interesting is you started
with you know, it's a peach shot. Immediately my mind
goes to peach shops. No, my uh, there is a
peach Crown Royal, so immediately my mind went to that.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
And you're like, it starts with apple Crown Royal. I'm like,
wait a minute, apple Crown Royal. Apple? Did I meant
peach Crown Royal? See? Okay, all right, the peak.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
The peach stuff does remind me of the schnops though. Well,
you know, back in the days, the Elephant Bar days,
the strike Zone days, the Rainbows days, the girls all
drank the schnops. Strike Zone Oh my gosh, standing in
the strake zone.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
So we were.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
That's one of my first ever tanglings with with chocolate tanglings.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Is that what you want to call it? I don't
know whatever you want to call it, but it left
lipstick on me I remember.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
So anyway, the uh uh yeah, those days, girls all
drank the schnops, which is what all these flavored whiskeys,
even Jack Daniel rob all my money out, and that
the flavored stuff took me a while to accept.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
But like for okay, So the reason that I love
the peach shot is because I would never do a
straight shot, you know, because when I shoot my Crown Royal,
I it's got to be my regular neat. But I
would never do the peach Crown Royal. But then Alan
introduced me to the peach crowd typically, but that sounds

(07:59):
the pineapple juice in a splash of orange juice.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's glorious, glorious. Try it. I'll give it a shot.
It's really good. You a tequila guy, you like tequila tequila?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Me too, So you guys both pay tequila and I
I love I love fantastic tequila.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
The tequila is supposed to be. The more I seem
to hate it. Really, a cheap bottle of Quervo will
go a lot farther with me than some of theos,
for instance, which is Clooney's former Yeah, George Kloon, he
sold it.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
But yeah, that is a that is a very very
very good tequila.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
And it is you don't need.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
The lickd slamm it sucket thing which people do with
the you don't need the fruit and the salt. No,
it's just just do it. You know, it's good. Really,
lamb it, suck it. Yeah, that's the whole I.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Can't longtime WTVM personally. I've got no I'm not touching that.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Don't do it. Don't do it.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
So Haul Cogan in town today, Zach attack Zach, click
your mic on, man, because you got to tell us.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
So it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Zach sent us a text and said he was going
to see him and he was going to try to
get something autographed.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Brother, And so he.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Went over to He went to the one in the
yard around the corner from here, which is off the
third the Giant Eagle over there, the market district as
they're called now, And so he went over there because
Haul Cogan's there. He's pimping his new real American beer
and you had to buy a couple of cake or
a couple of twelves of the beer in one twelve
pack or yeah, one twelve pack. But so, Zach, you

(09:29):
showed up over there and they were like, no, you
needed to sign up on line.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
Yeah they did.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
I didn't find it anywhere where you had to sign
up online. But I showed up early and.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
They were like no, no, brother. Yeah, So that it
was a little brother, you got to go.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
They were He was at Kroger's in Grove City.

Speaker 7 (09:46):
So I called and I was like, do we need
to sign up online? And they're like no, no, no,
it's his first come, first serve. So I had some
time to kill. I went home and I'm like, I'm
going to get out there early, buy beer, and then
come back and get in line.

Speaker 6 (09:57):
It's not gonna be you. I get there at like
eleven third there's already a.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Line down the Yeah, and what time was he supposed
to be there?

Speaker 6 (10:05):
Two o'clock?

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Two?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Okay, so you're cutting it close because we're on the
air at three, and so you're like, uh.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Hat it mapped out? I was twenty minutes from there.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, to work, and so that that was it. You
showed up. Then he was late.

Speaker 7 (10:18):
You said yeah, because I was there till two thirty
and he still wasn't there.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
So no haul Cogan. It's two thirty years. And so
as you start to leave, you realize, oh, he's finally here,
but you had to come and work, so yep, that's okay.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Did you even see him?

Speaker 4 (10:33):
He was getting whipped by Roddy Roddy Piper's belt that's
why he was late.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
I'm surprised in twenty twenty four, Haull Cogan is still
that much of a draw.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Oh are you kidding?

Speaker 4 (10:43):
He was the biggest celebrity in the world in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Like you about the WrestleMania Tyson, I mean, he's action.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I was surprised.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Is that Madison Square Garden there's what fifty thousand people.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
I mean, it was silly.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
The Pontiac Silverdome WrestleMania three when he slammed on Duran
the Giant, ninety three thousand people.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I mean, so that's the thing. I realized. It was
a long time ago.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
But man, these people, Yeah, clearly they've grown up and
some have passed on and so on. But you got
a lot of people who connect this guy to part
of their growing up. You know, he was he was
part of all of that, and it's enormous. His following
is enormous, which I'm sure you realized.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
But I was at the very front of the line.

Speaker 7 (11:22):
I was like third line, and the it reached from
the beginning of Kroger's, and the line went around all
the way down the front of Kroger's, and it was
going around back of Kroger's. Wow when I was there,
so who knows how many people actually showed up.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
So then he picks up real American beer.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
He's like, hey, I picked I picked this up, and
I go, well, we might as well try it out
on the air, the real American beer. So, gentlemen, without
further ado, all right, I mean this.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Is uh, you gotta see. I like the smells like
beer beer, the way it smells. I love the way
it smells. I like that. Yeah, it has a good yeap.
All right, you guys ready, here we go. Okay, I
like it.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
And it says light beer brewed in the USA on
the bottom, real American beer.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
It's a little bit sweet. It's almost god not crazy hoppy.
It's not quite Miller light tasty.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
This reminds me a lot of my dad's strows from
nineteen seventy seven.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Okay, yeah, you can really taste the lagger as Yeah
that that it's hold on, let me go. He's like,
let me try it again, let me see. Let me
just chug this real quick, and I'll let you know.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
It reminds me a little bit of Bush beer.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yes, that that's what I was thinking about.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Bush makes you feel like maybe you're drinking bush yep,
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Okay, light beer?

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Is that? Is that it?

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Or do they have a full power beer?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
You tell me, Zach, what was the display that was
the only displays light beer.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
It's it's the only one. He it's the only thing
they make.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Actually, I really, really.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
I don't dislike it at all.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, this is proudly serving the real American spirit, real
American beer. This is on the front of the can
light beer made brewed in the USA. Picture of hal
Cogan with a He's holding a it was like a
cartoon character. And excuse me, he's those eighties muscles yep.
And he's holding an American flag that's waving behind him.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
He's got what this can reminds me of.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Honestly though, like if the marketing department reworked Paps blue
ribbon exactly, that's what I first. This looks like a
Paps blue ribbon type of red white and believe.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
He's got a message on the side of the can.
He goes, America's at its best. God, it's so hard
to when united. And if there's one thing we can
all agree on, I like it, it's that the simple
pleasure of sharing a beer.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Brother.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
That's why we started Real American Beer, to bring people
together our beer, one at a time.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
I'm glad you can read that, because that's like invisible
to me.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
I had to hold it up against the background of
my dark blue shirt because it's.

Speaker 7 (14:03):
Hey, Josh, here's something you'd appreciate. The I remembered the
cartoon picture whatever on the can.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
It's for WrestleMania seven. It was the artwork when he fought.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Us slaughter, Yes in Indianapolis or no, not Indianapolis.

Speaker 2 (14:19):

him talking about slamming body slamming Kandla Harris?

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Do you have that audio ready? Okay? Uh, this is
where he was talking.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
He's joking about body slamming Kandila Harris and now he's
catching the heat for it.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
But here here is the actual audio. You make the decision. Listen,
you want me your body slam somebody else? You want
me to body slam Kamala Harris. I said you a
lot need a body slam Tamala Harris. I talk the
leg Onamala. It's from you in Okay.

Speaker 6 (14:57):
I like this.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
And people people are like thinking he's threatening her you
know you missed the best part.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
At the end, he says, he goes, I'm gonna take some.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Heat for that one.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
That's the best part. I'm gonna drop the leg. You
want me to drop the leg?

Speaker 3 (15:12):
He real people having a problem with it are just
like Democrat activists.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah, that media is a kidson hand there saying online
social media saying, you know, tagging the Secret Service and
sending them the video.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh dear. He's a professional wrestler.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
His whole job is to literally pretend he's playing a character.
His name is Terry and he plays bass. All right,
That's that's whole Kogan that he's got. Yeah, yeah there,
And I mean, come on, he's playing his character for
guy's sakes, just like most of the DC idiots are.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
I'm you know, I'm putting the other things in my
head together. I'm thinking of this with pizza with an
Italian stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
I like this. This would be a very good eating
with something beer. Okay, and Joshi.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
I wouldn't choose it over Miller Lite, but it's a
pretty good backup if you need a light American longer,
and I'm.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Right there with you.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
I don't know how many places will carry this, like
a bar or a restaurant, but.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Some people, some businesses are already. H what do you
call boycotting it?

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Because yeah, at the R yeah yeah, yeah, okay. And
I'm absolutely on board with it as well. So there
it is all positive from us for real American beer.
