Greg and Flex are back, beers in hand, ready to talk about all the important things—like how much Michelob Ultra dominated the Super Bowl (gross), why THC drinks might be too much for Flex’s delicate balance, and whether dropping $10K for $1 beers for life is a genius move or a financial disaster. Plus, Greg catches an old drinking buddy in the ultimate beer hypocrisy, and we dive into some truly ridiculous booze news, including yet another Japanese government worker losing sensitive data while drunk. Crack one open, because this one’s a ride!
Beers We’re Drinking
- Greg – Frost Quake by Smog City Brewing – A hazy IPA with a surprising bitterness and a touch of old-school malt.
- Flex – Jinxproof Lager by Three Floyds Brewing – Crisp, crackery, and crushable with a touch of noble hops.
Greg’s Super Bowl involved beer, Mario Kart, and absolutely zero emotional investment in either team. Flex’s was a mix of a sick kid, some pretzel nuggets, and the stunning realization that his dad might actually be a white Samuel L. Jackson. But the real shocker? Greg caught an old drinking buddy slamming a certain beer that they swore off years ago!
Flex also dabbled in some THC experimentation, confirming that 6mg is his sweet spot but 10mg had him straight-up wobbly. Greg, on the other hand, revisits a dispensary freebie that was so bad it tasted like pure regret. And just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, we break down the tragic beer choices from Super Bowl Sunday (seriously, Michelob Ultra??).
Booze News:
- Super Bowl Shotgun Showdown – Saquon Barkley just put on a beer-chugging clinic, but did he really finish it?
- $1 Beers for Life? – A brewery is offering lifetime $1 pints—if you’re willing to shell out some serious cash first. Worth it? Let’s do the math.
- Super Bowl Beer Wars – The top-selling beer in Kansas City and Philly might surprise (and disappoint) you.
- Another Drunk Government Worker Loses Sensitive Files – When are they going to learn their lesson?

(00:16):
Welcome in everybody to the CraftBeer Republic. Thanks for drinking.
Thanks for joining.My name is Greg and I'm being
joined by the Buffest blockheadin the Midwest. And that's flex.
What's up, big fella?Nothing much man.
Looking forward to a good night.Yeah. Me too.
Looking forward to have a couplebeers with you. Heck, yeah.
(00:36):
A couple. Were you having a couple?Uh, let's see how it goes. All right.
The night is young, my friend.The night is young.
I should clarify, I wasn't callingyou a blockhead just for the fun of
it. Because your video is blocky.It's not. Like it's.
I couldn't even act like I wasoffended. Yeah, I know.
Uh, follow us on the socials formore romantic ness at Craft Beer
Republic and at Flix Me beer.Underscores in between.
(00:59):
Got a lot to get to today.So much fun.
Uh, Super Bowl happened, and there'ssome fallout news from that.
Uh, ran into an old drinking buddythat I got a story about and some
booze, news and so much more.But, uh, if you don't mind. Hey.
Landed.It's been a crazy day of travel,
(01:20):
and I just need a fucking beerin my liver.
Yeah, you look like you need torelax. Yeah. Use 1 or 3 of these.
I did. I have my beer.I love my baby. I love my beer.
(01:42):
I am drinking Smog City Brewing'sfrost Quake. It's a hazy IPA.
6.2% has a 3.8 on untapped.They say this mock seismic event
of Hoppiness divides the Earthbetween intense Citrus and juicy
tropical fruit.A mixed fruit salad aroma leads you
(02:03):
into a smooth, silky mouthfeel.A kiss of citrus and just enough
bitterness to cleanse the palatefor your next sip.
Enjoy the palate splitting hoppygoodness, goodness, goodness.
A frost cake. The goodness.The goodness.
The Smog Days Haze Craze IPA seriesis an innovative lineup, a unique,
(02:23):
thirst quenching, hazy IPAs.I don't think I need to read all
that stuff anyways.This comes from my local bottle shop,
Trader Joe's.Haha yeah the wife I said this
before.The wife is always thoughtful.
Sometimes she'll just hit up thestore and come home with a rando
single from TJ's because she's like,I thought you might want to try it.
So here we are trying it.Yeah, digging the old schnoz.
(02:49):
Yeah. What do we got?So it mostly follows that
description.I'd say it's pretty light,
but I do get a little bit of afruit salad situation.
Um, get some citrus in there.But. But very light aroma.
Let me stick the tongue in there.Call this a French sip.
A French sip, I like that.All right,
(03:11):
so a lot of this is interesting,as you can see, uh, properly hazy,
very mellow. All that great lacing.Great, great lacing.
It has a surprising bitterness to it.I wish I had the IBUs.
Not a turnoff,just surprising for a hazy the amount
of bitterness that is in this.It also has a little bit of a an old
(03:33):
school maltiness to it like not likecrazy loaf of bread, malty, but it's
definitely got some malt in there.Not what I was expecting with this,
this color.See, that's what gets me is when
you get a hazy and you get, uh,just any bit of malt character,
I think it's a big turn off.It's a little bit of a turnoff to me.
(03:54):
Overall.I would definitely drink this
beer again. It's not a bad beer.Um, but I could.
I could do without the a little bitof bread going into this thing.
Not looking to carb load. Yeah.That's, uh, that always kills me with
the hazes. Yeah, it really does.But. Good, good.
Hot bill on the hair. Uh, nice.Should have called it a juicy.
That's what they should have done.There you go.
I mean, it's properly in a visualsense. It's properly hazy. They just.
(04:18):
It's like they combined an oldschool Westie with a new school
hazy or something, so not bad.Uh, but not what I was expecting out
of a haze. I guess that's all right.Yeah. There you. Go.
Like you said, you drink it again.It doesn't make or break the beer.
Yeah, it's not a drain pour byany stretch of the imagination.
Just not what I was hoping for,I guess, when I cracked her open.
(04:40):
Yeah. You win some, you lose some.That's right. Sometimes you tie.
Either way, I'm getting drunk.Let's do. It. That's what matters.
Uh, shout out to our top listing cityof last week. And that's Los Angeles.
What's up? Oh, hometown, I guess.Local for you. That's right.
So, uh, we haven't recordedsince the Super Bowl.
How was your your Super Bowl Sunday?Did you do anything fun or.
(05:03):
Um, my one of my kids was sick, so wereally didn't do anything too much.
So, um, just ordered a pizza,had some. Would you?
Breadsticks with that?We did, like, some pretzel nuggets.
Ooh. Pretzel nuggets. Um, just.Yeah. Chilled out.
I got a 12 pack, and, uh, I reallywasn't interested in the Super Bowl
(05:27):
because it was the two teams Icould have cared less to see. Yeah.
If they both could have lost atthe same time.
You know, the only reason I keptwatching it all night.
Because even the commercials sucked.Yeah, the overall commercials were
pretty bad. They were pretty bad.The seal commercial was hilarious.
That was my. Favorite.That was the favorite.
(05:48):
What was I gonna say?Oh,
I'm not not a big Kendrick Lamar fan.I only know of the one song because
of all the publicity it got fromlike the dissing Drake and yeah,
like that whole thing.So I, I really had no need to
watch the Super Bowl this year.And the only reason I kept it on
was because the Eagles were justdemolishing. Right.
(06:08):
It was kind of fun to watch.So that was very enjoyable.
That part was enjoyable.But I'll tell you after a while
I got tired of it.I didn't watch most of the
fourth quarter, so.I almost I thought the same thing,
and I almost didn't watch thefourth quarter, but I really
didn't have anything better to do,so I just kind of kept it around.
I did some laundry, um,while it was going on. Sure.
(06:32):
Why not? As one does.We ended up playing, uh,
Mario Kart. Man, that sounds legit.Yeah. For the Wii or the switch.
What do you got? Uh. The switch.Okay.
Yeah, I just got it, like,a month or two ago. Oh, I dig it.
I really like playing, uh,the switch sports. Mhm.
(06:53):
I only have I only have Mario Kart.Mario kart? Okay. Yeah, I. Came.
With it. Playing the golf.And they just added basketball
to switch sports. And that's.That was fun to get used to.
Okay, I'll have to try it.Something cool about the Super Bowl.
Sorry, I don't want to.A little tangent from this Nintendo
Switch conversation. No, please.Zack Baun, who is a middle linebacker
(07:16):
for the Philadelphia Eagles. Okay.Um, I coached against him when I
was coaching high school football.No shit. Yeah.
So that was also somethingreally cool to see that he made
All-Pro this year.And now he's a Super Bowl champ.
And in high school we totallyshut him down.
Just an absolute stud of an athlete.Stud of a player.
(07:40):
So yeah, just something reallycool to see come full circle.
Very exciting.Yeah I'm excited that the Chiefs
didn't win again.Well I'm super excited about that.
Yeah. Um, yeah.We didn't do anything either.
Like, uh, you know, a lot of timeswe're over at, like, Nick and
Nicole's house for the Super Bowl,but nobody cared about these teams.
They were out of town,and I was like, you know what?
I've had a busy fucking week.Let's just hang at home,
(08:02):
drink some drinks, make some snacks,and we'll watch it.
And if we don't want to watch itanymore, we'll we'll turn it off.
Like, we don't give two shitsabout either of those teams.
If both teams could have lost at thesame time, that'd been fantastic.
It would have been cool. Yeah.Would have been the perfect
ending for that Super Bowl.My favorite post about the Super
Bowl was when everyone was sayingwhat they really wanted to happen,
and it was the scene from The DarkKnight Rises when Bane hits the
(08:25):
trigger and the whole football fieldstarts falling behind Hines Ward
as he's running to the end zone.I would have been fine with that.
That would have been a good outcome.I'd been okay with that. Um, yeah.
I'm not a huge Kendrick Lamar fan.Um,
I did love all the the Drake dissing.That was kind of funny, having what's
her name out there dancing and.Oh yeah, see, and I didn't know who
(08:48):
that was right away. Oh, Serena.Yeah, I figured it out after the
fact, but, yeah, Had no idea whoit was while it was happening.
Uh, my kids were even like, oh,who's that?
I said, I don't know who any ofthese people are supposed to be.
Yeah, at first I didn't get thewhole Sam Jackson thing.
I know I'm I'm white and uncultured.It took me a minute to realize,
(09:10):
like, he was Uncle Sam, and.Yeah, a lot of.
I had to google some of thesymbolism. Yeah.
But but overall, you know,it was fine.
I'm not a huge Kendrick Lamar fan.I liked some of what he did
during the performance.But, um, you know, I'm not
downloading his music or anythinglike that. Yeah, it was fine.
Funny, funny thing about the halftimeshow is when Sam Jackson came up on
(09:30):
the screen, uh, my ten year old,she goes, I don't want to sound mean.
She goes, but that kind of lookslike a black papa, because that's
what they call my dad is Papa. Oh.And we started looking at him
more while I was.The halftime show was going on.
Every time he'd pop up,we were like, Holy shit, my dad is a
(09:54):
white Sam Jackson. That's funny.I sent him the text,
and then my mom sent me backsome pictures of Sam Jackson,
and we're just looking at it.We're like, Holy shit.
My dad is a white Sam Jackson.That's so good.
It is Midwest, Sam Jackson. Yes.Get all these motherfucking cheese
curds off this motherfucking plane.Doesn't get more Midwest than that.
(10:18):
Oh. That's perfect. Oh. Good times.Um, but, yeah, that's about it.
Yay! Super bowl, it happened.Baseball's starting up soon.
I can't. Wait. Yeah.Dodgers spent some money this
offseason.You know, the it's funny you say
that because I just saw a statisticthat said, uh, the Brewers were
the second least big spenders.Spent the least amount that.
(10:42):
Thank you very much for making mywords sound legible. Not $900,000.
They spent this season. Yeah.Look out. Who was the least?
Was it like the A's or something?It's always the.
Saint Louis Cardinals.Oh, that's surprising.
Which is a big shocker,except after this past season where
(11:03):
they were dog shit and they weregiving tickets away for free.
Just. Were they really?Oh, you didn't hear about that?
I did not.Oh, they were offering tickets for
free because of, uh, they couldn'tget people into the stadium. Wow.
Because the team wasuncharacteristically bad.
Yeah, they're always at leastmiddle of the road, if not better.
(11:27):
Oh, they're never a bad team.They're that team that always
just finds a way to be good.Yeah, and they always,
no matter what kind of yearthey're having, they always find
a way to beat the Dodgers. Yeah.I mean, they're just historically
a super solid organization. Yeah.They were they were giving away
(11:47):
tickets for free.That reminds me of, uh, the 70 76
ers did that. Almost did that.They were giving away or selling
tickets for like $4 a ticketlike ten years ago.
They could not get people in thestadium.
It was more expensive to buy abeer than a seat at the game.
That was happening at some NewYork Giants games this year.
That's not surprising.I believe it was when the Saints
(12:10):
visited MetLife. Okay.And there were certain tickets you
could actually buy for a dollar.Like the caption of the post was
that a Bud Light costs more thana ticket for the Giants game,
because the ticket was $1 andthe beer was 13. Right.
(12:30):
Well, when the 76 ers were doingthat, some guy posted that he
bought out an entire row.It only cost him like $47.
That's amazing.I was like, I would do that.
I'd just go buy a row to myselfand hang out or bring friends or
whatever. Yeah.Or if you don't find anybody else
and you don't have anybody else tosit next to you and bother you.
Right, exactly. Keep it quiet.Shut up!
I'm watching the shitty game.Brilliant. Yeah. So, uh.
(12:54):
But not a sports show. Olaf.Definitely not. No sports.
It's a topic show, though.It's a topic show, so I gotta.
You remember Wiley? Of. Yeah.That he ran that thing.
Yeah, yeah. Or drink life.Whatever they're calling. Drink life.
Yeah. Drunk life. That's my life.Um, do you remember our
(13:15):
discussion about the Made WestPale Ale and his hatred of it?
Yeah, he doesn't like it.And you think it's the best?
Well, I don't think it's the best,but. Not the best.
But they make a great pale ale.Make a solid pale ale.
And I think what I always said was,in Ventura County, where I am,
it is the best flagship pale ale,you know, regularly produced,
pale in the area.A lot of people make good pale ales,
(13:37):
but they're not flagship.They're not there all the time.
Right.And so I you know,
I dubbed that years ago.And he always told me I was
insane and it was garbage.And, uh, Basically, I discredit all
of his peer reviews because of that.But plus he doesn't finish his beers.
That is the biggest offense.But we ran into him the other
night and I can't wait to telleverybody this.
(14:01):
He goes, hey,guess what I'm drinking.
I said, what are you drinking?He goes, Made West pale.
I was like, by choice.He goes, yeah, you know what?
They're actually not that bad.Jeez. I was like, you motherfucker.
For years, this is the worst pale.I'd rather drink piss and, like,
all this other stuff,run into him at a beer place,
and he's sitting there drinking amade West Pale. What do you think?
(14:22):
There's no way he actually hadit without. Oh back then. Yeah.
Like to be able to judge it.There's no way.
Something I don't know.Anyway, so I was like,
I gotta tell anybody who will listento me because, uh, you motherfucker
have been missing out on a greatpale ale because you're too
stubborn to try it, apparently.If you've sent that one to me before.
(14:43):
I probably did, just so you could tryit and tell him how wrong he is.
I'm, like, 98% sure that you did.It's in a blue can.
Yeah, it was good.Yeah, I like look, it's not the
best pale ale in the world,but it's super solid and they
make it all the time. I like it.I love me a super solid beer.
Yeah, like when you can justalways fall back on.
(15:04):
It's like, I really don't feellike branching out today.
I'm just gonna get this. Yeah.Like one that is a local hazy that I
always see on tap as Tarantula Hill.Tarantula hills down the street
from me.They've done a great job of
getting their beers intorestaurants and stuff.
And if we're at any restaurant andthey've got liquid candy on tap,
(15:25):
I know I'm good to go.That one you definitely sent me.
I know for sure. No, Eric.Erica sent me that one. Erica.
Yeah, I think she picked it upwhen she was down.
Yeah, just a super solid, hazy.Nothing to write home about,
but. But always good. Solid.Yeah, absolutely.
And, you know, you can count onit when you're at a restaurant.
Their beer selection is not amazing.And, yeah, it's good stuff, man.
(15:45):
It's nice to have that kind of arestaurant beer.
Yeah, and I'm glad that's becomesuch a restaurant,
because before it was like,you know, insert West Coast,
like Firestone Union Jack.It's like, all right, I'm not looking
to strip the enamel off my teeth.Stone IPA. You're right. Yeah.
I mean, that's what it was foryears and years.
So anyways, um,go drink a midwest pale fuckers.
(16:07):
It's good stuff. What about you?Any any beer research these days? Um.
So, uh,not so much for me getting out.
Uh, I've been been busy,but I did pick up, uh,
Tom from pilot. Tom brought. Me.Tom brought me a Utah beer. Oh.
Um, which, apparently it's true.They do make beer in Utah. Wow.
(16:30):
And it wasn't 5%. It was 8.2%.Whoa. It was a double IPA.
Um, it was called.I have it right here, too.
Steph is screaming at.Us right now, ironically enough.
So I actually I actually messagedher a picture of the beer and she
was astounded at how I got it. Mhm.Um, but it was called Ferda and
(16:52):
it's from Templin Family Brewing.And um,
it was a super solid IPA. Nice.Like, it wasn't mind blowing in
any sense, but if it was around,it could be one of those.
Hey, I'll pick this up because.It always safe.
It's 8.2% and the flavor was great.And, uh, like, the aroma didn't
(17:15):
spill out at you and like,it wasn't overly robust with flavor,
but there was enough of boththat just kept you drinking.
And it was wonderful.And again, I didn't. Need to do.
Can't thank Tom enough for thehookups. And you know what he does?
He's. And the smuggling.A true, true friend, let me tell you.
(17:38):
Start calling you guys.You two, uh, Smokey and the bandit.
I like that.Yeah, just smuggling beer for
you everywhere he goes. No.Every time he flies, he's just
going to be listening to Eastboundand Down, loaded up in Brooklyn.
That's a big ten four smoking.Snowman or whatever. Ice. Yeah.
Snowman. Snowman. I love that movie.Ice man is Top Gun, right? Yes.
(18:02):
Yes, it.Is one of those man's cold man's.
So I was able to have a Utahbeer and then a guy at work,
you know, because I don't have alife and everybody else does.
He went out to New York or.No, not New York, Washington,
D.C., uh, went to a show or somekind of convention out there,
stopped at a liquor store on hisway back and brought a four pack
(18:24):
of beer into work and was like,hey, give this a try.
And it was from Zero GravityBrewing from Vermont. Mm.
I've heard of them. Yeah.And it was, uh, or American IPA
beer was called Conehead.Uh, these guys have a super cool
logo, and the beer doesn't have a,you know,
it's not a crazy great rating.It's a 5.7 ABV American Pale uh,
(18:50):
3.8 on Untappd here, but theflavor was absolutely obnoxious.
Oh. For for an American IPA.Like, it was so flavorful,
so crisp, super light bodied.Um, and I just again, really enjoyed,
uh, appreciated the gesture.Just some really,
(19:12):
really kind folks out there I know.So makes you feel like you want
to be a better person,doesn't it? Uh, sometimes.
Sometimes every once in a while.Makes you think maybe I'm not a
good person. Maybe I'm a dick.Well, I knew that already.
I know I'm a dick.Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say.
(19:34):
All right.I was just gonna say that's about
the research. Uh, I've been doing.Oh, I did a little research with
some, uh, THC beverages. Oh.More dabbling. Yeah, so I dabbled it.
Uh, I upped my dosage to theten milligrams. Oh, shit. Yep.
Daddy must have been feeling nice.So I'm not sure if I liked it
(19:57):
too much. It was.I don't I don't know, it just made
me feel way too lightheaded. Mhm.And like, very stumble. Not stumbly.
Wobbly. Wobbly is a good word.It made me feel very wobbly.
Your previous max was like six.Right. Six.
(20:18):
Which I thoroughly enjoyed. Okay.And I even hit a sixer with a
double IPA after.And that was probably the best
I've ever felt in my life.I'm telling you, a nice gummy or we
drink or whatever with a beer or aglass of wine is just chef's kiss.
Yeah it I it was melty was justthe only way I could describe it.
(20:41):
That was a good night.And like, it was crazy because
you're like a shell of a human.And like,
everything was turning in my brain,like my brain was going. I got ideas.
I just couldn't do anything.I was just there.
And then you go, what was I justthinking of? That was a great idea.
If I wish I could remember.It was good stuff, I would.
(21:03):
I would second that to do that.Good times tens a lot. Um.
I'm not I wouldn't recommend. Yeah.When I do ten, I spread it out like
I'll do five, wait like an hourand a half ish and have another.
Unless I'm just looking to getfucking blitzed or something.
Right. And then I'll have enough.So it kind of sneaks up.
(21:23):
But it's not like boom ten, right?So I had four cans, uh,
two of the cans.I did drink kind of fast because
it was like later at night,like 830, and I was just trying
to get some sleep, you know,so I was trying to get it in and let
the effects come out and then zonk,uh, and the other two times,
it kind of spread it out.Probably took me like an hour to
(21:46):
drink, uh, because I wanted tospread it out a little bit. Sure.
But, uh, it just caught up with me,and I think I'll stick with Sixers.
Yeah, I was, uh, I was at the I don'tknow what you call it, the weed shop,
I guess one time, and I don't know.I don't know the dispensary.
Yeah, there you go.And I was buying some gummies
(22:07):
and they go, hey, you know,you spend way too much money.
You want a free Snoop Dogg soda?And I was like, all right,
I'll give it a shot.It was so fucking disgusting.
It tasted like total ass. Really?Yeah. And it didn't work that well.
I think it was.I can't remember it was 5 or 10,
but I remember I was like, oh,I end up chugging it because it was
(22:28):
so bad. It just tasted like medicine.Um, no thanks. Snoop.
No, there's a brewery here.They're really up north,
like five hours away, but they comeout with some infused seltzers
that go up to like 50mg a can,5050, that's 25 and 50. Good lord.
(22:50):
And I couldn't imagine what thatwould do to you. Yeah.
One time I was buying gummiesand the guy was like, hey,
do you want these ones?I was like, no, those are the tens.
I prefer the fives, you know?That's that's good for me.
And he goes, oh, okay. Yeah.I usually end up having about
100 a day. I was like, what?You have 100mg of THC a day?
He goes, yeah.I'm like,
how do you fucking function?He's like, you know,
(23:12):
I just I have a high tolerance.Some people have a higher tolerance.
I was like, yeah, okay, fine,you do 25 or 30mg,
you do a fucking 100g a day. Balls.Also, it must be so expensive.
I would be in a coma. Yeah.I'm pretty sure that would put me
in a coma. It absolutely. Yeah.You'd be glued to the couch.
You wouldn't.You couldn't move with that.
(23:33):
It's insane.I'm trying to think like what is
beyond not being able to move.Right. And that's what I would be.
I mean, you can't die from doingtoo much weed. But. Right.
But it's the next best thing.Oh. Worst thing? The story.
My buddy, who used to be an EMT,rolled up on the scene one time,
and this dad and son had split acookie and they were just
(23:55):
absolutely losing their shit.The mom had called 911 because
she didn't know what to do andthey showed up.
Yeah, they showed up and he goes,look, ma'am,
like there's nothing we can do.It's weed. They're not in danger.
They just have to ride it out, right?We can we can take them in and
hook them up to an IV, and theycan wait it out in the hospital.
But you're gonna have to pay for it,you know?
Or you can just strap them downhere and let it happen.
(24:19):
She goes, no, get them out of myhouse. I don't want them here.
I guess the sun was kind offreaking out.
He goes, okay, do you still havethe wrapper to that cookie?
And she goes, yeah, here.And she pulls it out of the trash.
It was 500mg. Holy balls.Yeah,
I'd be freaking out if I had 252.Yeah, I would say, uh, like,
I've heard about people getting,like, paranoid when they do they
(24:40):
do stuff. Yeah.And, uh, so far, I don't understand
that. I'm not a paranoid stoner.I did that much. Yeah, 100%.
I would start freaking out goingballs crazy.
Yeah,I guess the kid was freaking out and
the dad was so incredibly stoned.He was just, like, moving at,
you know,quarter speed kind of thing. Yeah.
(25:02):
And so they put the kid in thegurney and hooked him up to an IV,
and the mom to the dad said,well, say goodbye to your son.
And he's like, bye. Oh, good.That's brilliant. Yeah. What a.
Story. Yeah.He had some crazy stories.
That was one of my favorite ones.That was a funny one, though.
(25:22):
But, uh.All right, well,
speaking of drinks, you're lookingthirsty over there yourself.
Let's let's get you hydrated.In a world where craft beer is king.
A world where muscles are biggerthan growlers.
Only one tongue can guide us.One man. One tongue. One tongue.
Jabber.In this world, we must find out
(25:46):
what is flax drinking?Well, much like your wife,
who's a wonderful sweetheart.My wife. Um. I'm drinking a beer.
That, believe it or not, my wifebought me. Wow. Which never happens.
I'm hard for you.And we agreed we weren't going to
do anything for Valentine's Daybecause it's Valentine's Day.
(26:09):
Yeah, I'm with you.And, uh, she got me a six pack
of beer. That's fantastic.Which is. Right. It's just.
It says more than it than itdoes to most people. Um.
And she bought it because it has,like, a tattoo heart on it.
Oh, yeah. So it's, uh, Three Floyds.So they do some pretty decent stuff.
(26:33):
I love their tagline here.It says it's not normal.
And this is called jinx proof lageris 5.7% ABV and, uh, it says a crisp,
pale and refreshing lager with alight malt sweetness and plenty of
noble hops which noble hops come fromGermany. See? Got it. Guten tag.
(26:55):
Untappd calls it a pilsner, so Idon't know if I really trust this,
even though it's everything on here.Um, it's a lager.
3.57 is what they got it for.It could be the best lager ever.
It'll be a 3.5.It's crackery, you know,
on the on the nose here.A little bit of them noble hops
coming through. Mm.Smells crisp, if that's a thing.
(27:17):
It is. Now. It is now.It's got great clarity. Oh, yeah.
I mean, it's there's not too muchleft, but, um, I do enjoy this.
Um, get the tongue jobber.Well, it's already warmed up.
Warm up.So, I mean,
it is a super fine classic lager.Definitely get those hops coming
(27:38):
through a little bit.A little bit of that cracker coming
through and just some super duper,super, super duper, super low end,
tiny bit of bitterness that justhits you on the tip, tip,
tip of that back tongue. Just the.Tip. Just super crushable.
Lager is nothing more you canask for out of this beer.
(28:01):
I think 3.57 for it.You know, that's the reason we hate
untapped. Right? Right, right.So like lager wise, I mean,
you're probably looking at a four outof five here, but if you're an idiot,
you know. You're five seven, right?That's how it goes.
That's how it goes.Bunch of idiots on untapped. Yeah.
(28:22):
And, uh. But, yeah. Super duper cool.Cannot see how many times I can
say super duper. Take a drink.Yeah, it's got the skull and the
heart with the arrows going throughit and that vintage tattoo style.
She did a great job picking thisone out. Go, wife. Cheers.
To my wife. My wife. Very nice. Uh.All right, let's hit a little news
(28:45):
before we get up on out of here.Do you see the video of, uh,
Saquon Barkley shotgunning thatbeer after the Super Bowl win?
Yeah, it took like 0.7 seconds orsomething like that. Fucking beast.
I almost wonder if he didn'tactually finish it. It was so fast.
That crossed my mind too.But the other thing that crossed
my mind is I saw somebody whoused to work when he was in
(29:06):
college at Penn State.Somebody used to bartend at this
place he used to go to all the time,and they made this big tweet.
They said they used to bartend at soand so and Saquon would come in,
you know, on the weekends.And he said he would just sit in this
back corner to try and just stay likechill. And you know uh hidden from.
(29:29):
People not getting recognized.And he hated getting recognized
because when he people would saw him,they would just buy him drinks.
he'd buy him shots and hewouldn't drink them.
So he would just have this pileof drinks that kept getting
bigger and bigger at his table.Um, but the person said even though
he never drank them, he said theytipped him for every single drink
(29:52):
that they had brought to the table.So just kind of showing he's
that much of a like he's just astand up guy.
Everything he really does,like the Super Bowl parade when he
saw the Ballboy cheering behind thefence along the way, and he picked
their ball boy up over the gate andthen brought him on the team bus.
(30:13):
Oh, I didn't see that. Yeah.To celebrate the parade with him.
Nice.Like, he's just a super good dude.
He seems like a really nice guy.Yeah.
Like, just a genuine PA guy,I guess. Yeah.
And after shotgunning that beer,I like him even more. Yeah.
So anyways, the beer that heshotgunned was open beer and is a
brand that is led by former NewBelgium marketer David. Whiskey.
(30:38):
No, that's not a real name.Whiskey. I s p n I e w sky.
Well, that's kind of cool. Yeah.Uh, anyways, it's a la based lager
brand, and, uh, makes me wonderif he was sponsored to Juggy.
Either way, I'm impressed,I don't care.
I'm shocked they didn't havegarage beer. You're wrong.
(31:01):
Locker room for that?Well, I guess not, though, because.
No. Yeah. Jason. Jason. It's true.And I feel like he's more of an
advocate for it than Travis. Yeah.I mean,
he looks like an advocate for beer.Well, and he's in, uh, he was in the
Christmas ad that they did, whichwas horribly, horribly creative.
I don't know if I saw that. Oh, dude.Um, the they parodied some
(31:26):
Christmas song, like, some classicChristmas song, but the only word
they used in the song was beer.All right. And that was it.
And then it was just like peoplein a bar, and they were just
singing to this Christmas song.But the only words were.
Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer,beer. Yes. I think that's.
Actually what it was.Oh, I'm just making that up.
(31:47):
No, I think that's what it was.Like jingle bells, but just beer.
All right. So, yeah.Go on with the story. No.
That's it. That's that's the story.Well, okay. Um, $1 beers for life.
If anybody wants a $1 beer forthe rest of their life.
San Francisco brewery is offeringconsumers $1 beers for life.
Kind of standard.Deviant brewing launched a new
(32:10):
membership program to help funda new taproom.
Consumers who donate within threedifferent tiers are awarded with
cheaper pint prices for life.A $1,000 donation will get you a
$5 pint for life.5000 donation gets you $3 pints for
life, or if you donate $10,000,you get the $1 pints for life.
(32:35):
Does it matter what beer do theyspecify? Does not specify.
Says the tap. Excuse me.The program will run until the end of
San Francisco Beer Week, which isFebruary 21st through March 2nd.
About 5 or 6 people as of thisarticle being published have signed
up so far, according to the report.So if you want to drop ten G's,
(32:56):
get dollar pints for life.Yeah, I'm just trying to think,
is it worth it?I mean, I guess if you had ten grand
to blow, but let's say if you hadten grand to blow in a donation,
then it wouldn't matter what youpay for beers at Taprooms.
That's also true.So let's do some math here.
I'm going to say the averagepint price is, especially in San
(33:17):
Francisco is eight bucks.That might be generous.
San Francisco is.Expensive to craft breweries.
That's about what it is here. Yeah.Usually it's like eight bucks.
We'll say eight bucks.If if you were to get if you were to
spend $10,000 on $8 pints, that's1002 1250 pints. I just don't know.
(33:38):
I think, yeah. You have to drink.More than the money. Yeah.
If you had the money to just do it,I think you'd do it. Nike.
But it's not something that is like,uh, a good deal, you know, like.
Unless you drink 1300 pints of that.Drink 1300 pints. Yeah.
(34:00):
Otherwise, yeah,I don't I don't think so.
Anyways, if anybody's got themoney to spend, uh,
with the Super Bowl out of the way,total wine put put out some stats as
to what was the most popular beer inthose cities and drinks in general.
Uh, they shared a list of the topbrands sold in Kansas City and
Philly home market brand familiesBoulevard in Kansas City and
(34:22):
Surfside in Philly topped thelist in the respective cities.
Um, the rest of the top fivebest sellers in Kansas City were
number four For Molson Coors.Miller number three.
Tito's vodka number two.Cutwater spirits and the number
one beer.Well, drink, but happens to be
(34:44):
beer in Kansas City for theSuper Bowl was Michelob Ultra.
I don't understand that.I just don't drink beer.
Then I just. It's so gross.You know, they came out with the
Michelob zero. Oh, goody.Was it already a zero? Exactly.
It's like,how can you make it any less? Yeah.
(35:05):
Um, in Philly, the top fiveshook out with number four.
Molson Coors, Coors number three.Constellation brands, Corona number
two. Cutwater spirits again.And the number one beer or drink is
beer in Philly. Miller. Okay. Yeah.Meanwhile, Buzz Balls was the top
(35:25):
seller in Total wine stores inBoston, Dallas and Los Angeles
across the three day period.Is Or is that the blue one?
That's right.There's a buzz ball shortage in
LA right now.Uh, the top,
I guess ten after Buzz Balls.Josh Cellars,
that's wine modelo. Modelo.Uh, number seven, Boston beers,
(35:46):
sun cruiser.I don't even know what that is.
Number six, Jack Daniels.Yeah,
it must be like an RTD or something.Five Crown Royal four, Surfside,
three.Don Julio, two Tito's vodka and
number one Cutwater spirits.I've had a single cutwater before.
I just, uh. I've never had it.That's the brand.
(36:09):
That Ballast Point started beforethey got bought out for $1 billion.
Okay.Do you know when Ballast Point got
bought out for that billion dollars?They did not include Cutwater. No.
So then they later sold Cutwater toBudweiser. Genius. Fucking genius.
I think I have that right.I think it's Cutwater that was
(36:30):
started by Ballast Point.Whatever Ballast Point started
was then later sold to Budweiser.Tell you what, I might be able to get
behind this Sun Cruiser thing. Might.Might not. It's, uh, iced tea drinks.
Oh, okay. Like a hard iced tea? Yeah.They got, uh, raspberry classic
lemonade and iced tea and then peach.Mm. Interesting.
(36:52):
No, I wouldn't knock it till I tryit. As long as it's not too sweet.
This, uh. I don't think it is.It says, uh, one 100 calories,
so it can't be too much. Yeah.Not a ton of sugar. Actual sugar?
Yeah, maybe fake sweeteners and shit,but. Yeah. And it's a vodka based.
Oh, okay. Very neat, very neat.Well, let's give it a shot.
(37:15):
You remember a couple of years ago,there was the guy who worked for
the Japanese government that gotdrunk and had a USB drive stolen
because he, like,fell asleep on the train. Oh, man.
Maybe I have a such a shitty memory.I do too.
I read this upcoming story andimmediately remembered I was like,
God, this sounds so familiar.Did we do the story?
(37:37):
Oh yeah, we talked about it.Like basically he worked for the
government.He had a flash drive with a bunch
of sensitive data on it and gothammered on a train, fell asleep,
and someone stole his bag.Not too different.
Japanese government worker getsdrunk, loses sensitive information,
and an employee of the financeministry's customs and Tariff Bureau
went drinking with a colleagueafter work last Thursday in the
(37:58):
city of Yokohama, south of Tokyo.Within five hours, the man had
nine glasses of beer. Good job.It wasn't until he had left the
restaurant, gotten on a train andtraveled home that he realized his
bag, containing highly sensitiveinformation, was missing.
The Finance Ministry revealedthe security breach this week,
telling reporters the bag containedadministrative documents with the
(38:21):
names, addresses and case summariesof 187 people, including a suspect
allegedly involved in drug smuggling.The employee had received the
documents at a meeting earlierthat day, the ministry said.
Also in the bag was theemployee's work like work laptop?
Easy for me to say,containing personal information
about the man and his colleagues.The ministry apologized for
(38:42):
undermining the public's trust,saying it would investigate the
matter and take strict action asneeded.
So far, there have been noreports that the lost information
has been used illegally.As of Thursday, the documents and
computer had not been found. Whoops.So I'm just going to go out on a limb
here. Just put myself in the shoes.If I were carrying super sensitive,
(39:05):
highly classified information. Mhm.That thing's not leaving my hand.
I'm not going out with it. Right.And if I am it's, it's handcuffed
to me or it is chained to me.Yeah. Or something.
Or there's some kind of coolhigh tech magnet, you know, that
(39:25):
connects to a bracelet. I have that.Sure. Handle the briefcase.
Doesn't leave. I'm sure it's there.It sounds really cool.
And if not, million dollar idea,right?
Because clearly, these Japaneseguys really, really need it. Yeah.
If we can invent this, we'd be hugein Japan. Fucking millionaires. Yeah.
These guys, they're super smart,but not with super sensitive.
(39:49):
Can't handle their booze. Yep.Also, have they heard of Dropbox?
Why are they still using USB drives?Yeah, I don't.
I don't because they keep losingthem. They're just I don't know.
Yeah. It's mind blowing.Mind boggling when your thoughts
get all trapped, like in a bottle.Exactly. Oh, Ron. Uh. All right.
(40:13):
I think we should end it there.I'm gonna say hi to Vanessa.
Hi, Vanessa. Hi.I'm going to correct you, by the way,
that was, uh, Blades of Glory.That was Chazz Michael Michaels,
not Ron Burgundy. Was it? Yep.Mine. Oh well, now I feel stupid.
I was thinking. Oh, it's okay, I was.Yeah, I was gonna wait,
but I couldn't wait.No, no, please correct me when I
(40:34):
get that wrong.Yeah, that deserves a correction.
It's okay. Back.Live real time fact check. Yeah.
Good job. I still love you.Oh and I you. Oh. Mhm.

(00:59):
Got a lot to get to today.So much fun.
Uh, Super Bowl happened, and there'ssome fallout news from that.
Uh, ran into an old drinking buddythat I got a story about and some
booze, news and so much more.But, uh, if you don't mind. Hey.
Landed.It's been a crazy day of travel,
(01:20):
and I just need a fucking beerin my liver.
Yeah, you look like you need torelax. Yeah. Use 1 or 3 of these.
I did. I have my beer.I love my baby. I love my beer.
(01:42):
I am drinking Smog City Brewing'sfrost Quake. It's a hazy IPA.
6.2% has a 3.8 on untapped.They say this mock seismic event
of Hoppiness divides the Earthbetween intense Citrus and juicy
tropical fruit.A mixed fruit salad aroma leads you
(02:03):
into a smooth, silky mouthfeel.A kiss of citrus and just enough
bitterness to cleanse the palatefor your next sip.
Enjoy the palate splitting hoppygoodness, goodness, goodness.
A frost cake. The goodness.The goodness.
The Smog Days Haze Craze IPA seriesis an innovative lineup, a unique,
(02:23):
thirst quenching, hazy IPAs.I don't think I need to read all
that stuff anyways.This comes from my local bottle shop,
Trader Joe's.Haha yeah the wife I said this
before.The wife is always thoughtful.
Sometimes she'll just hit up thestore and come home with a rando
single from TJ's because she's like,I thought you might want to try it.
So here we are trying it.Yeah, digging the old schnoz.
(02:49):
Yeah. What do we got?So it mostly follows that
description.I'd say it's pretty light,
but I do get a little bit of afruit salad situation.
Um, get some citrus in there.But. But very light aroma.
Let me stick the tongue in there.Call this a French sip.
A French sip, I like that.All right,
(03:11):
so a lot of this is interesting,as you can see, uh, properly hazy,
very mellow. All that great lacing.Great, great lacing.
It has a surprising bitterness to it.I wish I had the IBUs.
Not a turnoff,just surprising for a hazy the amount
of bitterness that is in this.It also has a little bit of a an old
(03:33):
school maltiness to it like not likecrazy loaf of bread, malty, but it's
definitely got some malt in there.Not what I was expecting with this,
this color.See, that's what gets me is when
you get a hazy and you get, uh,just any bit of malt character,
I think it's a big turn off.It's a little bit of a turnoff to me.
(03:54):
Overall.I would definitely drink this
beer again. It's not a bad beer.Um, but I could.
I could do without the a little bitof bread going into this thing.
Not looking to carb load. Yeah.That's, uh, that always kills me with
the hazes. Yeah, it really does.But. Good, good.
Hot bill on the hair. Uh, nice.Should have called it a juicy.
That's what they should have done.There you go.
I mean, it's properly in a visualsense. It's properly hazy. They just.
(04:18):
It's like they combined an oldschool Westie with a new school
hazy or something, so not bad.Uh, but not what I was expecting out
of a haze. I guess that's all right.Yeah. There you. Go.
Like you said, you drink it again.It doesn't make or break the beer.
Yeah, it's not a drain pour byany stretch of the imagination.
Just not what I was hoping for,I guess, when I cracked her open.
(04:40):
Yeah. You win some, you lose some.That's right. Sometimes you tie.
Either way, I'm getting drunk.Let's do. It. That's what matters.
Uh, shout out to our top listing cityof last week. And that's Los Angeles.
What's up? Oh, hometown, I guess.Local for you. That's right.
So, uh, we haven't recordedsince the Super Bowl.
How was your your Super Bowl Sunday?Did you do anything fun or.
(05:03):
Um, my one of my kids was sick, so wereally didn't do anything too much.
So, um, just ordered a pizza,had some. Would you?
Breadsticks with that?We did, like, some pretzel nuggets.
Ooh. Pretzel nuggets. Um, just.Yeah. Chilled out.
I got a 12 pack, and, uh, I reallywasn't interested in the Super Bowl
(05:27):
because it was the two teams Icould have cared less to see. Yeah.
If they both could have lost atthe same time.
You know, the only reason I keptwatching it all night.
Because even the commercials sucked.Yeah, the overall commercials were
pretty bad. They were pretty bad.The seal commercial was hilarious.
That was my. Favorite.That was the favorite.
(05:48):
What was I gonna say?Oh,
I'm not not a big Kendrick Lamar fan.I only know of the one song because
of all the publicity it got fromlike the dissing Drake and yeah,
like that whole thing.So I, I really had no need to
watch the Super Bowl this year.And the only reason I kept it on
was because the Eagles were justdemolishing. Right.
(06:08):
It was kind of fun to watch.So that was very enjoyable.
That part was enjoyable.But I'll tell you after a while
I got tired of it.I didn't watch most of the
fourth quarter, so.I almost I thought the same thing,
and I almost didn't watch thefourth quarter, but I really
didn't have anything better to do,so I just kind of kept it around.
I did some laundry, um,while it was going on. Sure.
(06:32):
Why not? As one does.We ended up playing, uh,
Mario Kart. Man, that sounds legit.Yeah. For the Wii or the switch.
What do you got? Uh. The switch.Okay.
Yeah, I just got it, like,a month or two ago. Oh, I dig it.
I really like playing, uh,the switch sports. Mhm.
(06:53):
I only have I only have Mario Kart.Mario kart? Okay. Yeah, I. Came.
With it. Playing the golf.And they just added basketball
to switch sports. And that's.That was fun to get used to.
Okay, I'll have to try it.Something cool about the Super Bowl.
Sorry, I don't want to.A little tangent from this Nintendo
Switch conversation. No, please.Zack Baun, who is a middle linebacker
(07:16):
for the Philadelphia Eagles. Okay.Um, I coached against him when I
was coaching high school football.No shit. Yeah.
So that was also somethingreally cool to see that he made
All-Pro this year.And now he's a Super Bowl champ.
And in high school we totallyshut him down.
Just an absolute stud of an athlete.Stud of a player.
(07:40):
So yeah, just something reallycool to see come full circle.
Very exciting.Yeah I'm excited that the Chiefs
didn't win again.Well I'm super excited about that.
Yeah. Um, yeah.We didn't do anything either.
Like, uh, you know, a lot of timeswe're over at, like, Nick and
Nicole's house for the Super Bowl,but nobody cared about these teams.
They were out of town,and I was like, you know what?
I've had a busy fucking week.Let's just hang at home,
(08:02):
drink some drinks, make some snacks,and we'll watch it.
And if we don't want to watch itanymore, we'll we'll turn it off.
Like, we don't give two shitsabout either of those teams.
If both teams could have lost at thesame time, that'd been fantastic.
It would have been cool. Yeah.Would have been the perfect
ending for that Super Bowl.My favorite post about the Super
Bowl was when everyone was sayingwhat they really wanted to happen,
and it was the scene from The DarkKnight Rises when Bane hits the
(08:25):
trigger and the whole football fieldstarts falling behind Hines Ward
as he's running to the end zone.I would have been fine with that.
That would have been a good outcome.I'd been okay with that. Um, yeah.
I'm not a huge Kendrick Lamar fan.Um,
I did love all the the Drake dissing.That was kind of funny, having what's
her name out there dancing and.Oh yeah, see, and I didn't know who
(08:48):
that was right away. Oh, Serena.Yeah, I figured it out after the
fact, but, yeah, Had no idea whoit was while it was happening.
Uh, my kids were even like, oh,who's that?
I said, I don't know who any ofthese people are supposed to be.
Yeah, at first I didn't get thewhole Sam Jackson thing.
I know I'm I'm white and uncultured.It took me a minute to realize,
(09:10):
like, he was Uncle Sam, and.Yeah, a lot of.
I had to google some of thesymbolism. Yeah.
But but overall, you know,it was fine.
I'm not a huge Kendrick Lamar fan.I liked some of what he did
during the performance.But, um, you know, I'm not
downloading his music or anythinglike that. Yeah, it was fine.
Funny, funny thing about the halftimeshow is when Sam Jackson came up on
(09:30):
the screen, uh, my ten year old,she goes, I don't want to sound mean.
She goes, but that kind of lookslike a black papa, because that's
what they call my dad is Papa. Oh.And we started looking at him
more while I was.The halftime show was going on.
Every time he'd pop up,we were like, Holy shit, my dad is a
(09:54):
white Sam Jackson. That's funny.I sent him the text,
and then my mom sent me backsome pictures of Sam Jackson,
and we're just looking at it.We're like, Holy shit.
My dad is a white Sam Jackson.That's so good.
It is Midwest, Sam Jackson. Yes.Get all these motherfucking cheese
curds off this motherfucking plane.Doesn't get more Midwest than that.
(10:18):
Oh. That's perfect. Oh. Good times.Um, but, yeah, that's about it.
Yay! Super bowl, it happened.Baseball's starting up soon.
I can't. Wait. Yeah.Dodgers spent some money this
offseason.You know, the it's funny you say
that because I just saw a statisticthat said, uh, the Brewers were
the second least big spenders.Spent the least amount that.
(10:42):
Thank you very much for making mywords sound legible. Not $900,000.
They spent this season. Yeah.Look out. Who was the least?
Was it like the A's or something?It's always the.
Saint Louis Cardinals.Oh, that's surprising.
Which is a big shocker,except after this past season where
(11:03):
they were dog shit and they weregiving tickets away for free.
Just. Were they really?Oh, you didn't hear about that?
I did not.Oh, they were offering tickets for
free because of, uh, they couldn'tget people into the stadium. Wow.
Because the team wasuncharacteristically bad.
Yeah, they're always at leastmiddle of the road, if not better.
(11:27):
Oh, they're never a bad team.They're that team that always
just finds a way to be good.Yeah, and they always,
no matter what kind of yearthey're having, they always find
a way to beat the Dodgers. Yeah.I mean, they're just historically
a super solid organization. Yeah.They were they were giving away
(11:47):
tickets for free.That reminds me of, uh, the 70 76
ers did that. Almost did that.They were giving away or selling
tickets for like $4 a ticketlike ten years ago.
They could not get people in thestadium.
It was more expensive to buy abeer than a seat at the game.
That was happening at some NewYork Giants games this year.
That's not surprising.I believe it was when the Saints
(12:10):
visited MetLife. Okay.And there were certain tickets you
could actually buy for a dollar.Like the caption of the post was
that a Bud Light costs more thana ticket for the Giants game,
because the ticket was $1 andthe beer was 13. Right.
(12:30):
Well, when the 76 ers were doingthat, some guy posted that he
bought out an entire row.It only cost him like $47.
That's amazing.I was like, I would do that.
I'd just go buy a row to myselfand hang out or bring friends or
whatever. Yeah.Or if you don't find anybody else
and you don't have anybody else tosit next to you and bother you.
Right, exactly. Keep it quiet.Shut up!
I'm watching the shitty game.Brilliant. Yeah. So, uh.
(12:54):
But not a sports show. Olaf.Definitely not. No sports.
It's a topic show, though.It's a topic show, so I gotta.
You remember Wiley? Of. Yeah.That he ran that thing.
Yeah, yeah. Or drink life.Whatever they're calling. Drink life.
Yeah. Drunk life. That's my life.Um, do you remember our
(13:15):
discussion about the Made WestPale Ale and his hatred of it?
Yeah, he doesn't like it.And you think it's the best?
Well, I don't think it's the best,but. Not the best.
But they make a great pale ale.Make a solid pale ale.
And I think what I always said was,in Ventura County, where I am,
it is the best flagship pale ale,you know, regularly produced,
pale in the area.A lot of people make good pale ales,
(13:37):
but they're not flagship.They're not there all the time.
Right.And so I you know,
I dubbed that years ago.And he always told me I was
insane and it was garbage.And, uh, Basically, I discredit all
of his peer reviews because of that.But plus he doesn't finish his beers.
That is the biggest offense.But we ran into him the other
night and I can't wait to telleverybody this.
(14:01):
He goes, hey,guess what I'm drinking.
I said, what are you drinking?He goes, Made West pale.
I was like, by choice.He goes, yeah, you know what?
They're actually not that bad.Jeez. I was like, you motherfucker.
For years, this is the worst pale.I'd rather drink piss and, like,
all this other stuff,run into him at a beer place,
and he's sitting there drinking amade West Pale. What do you think?
(14:22):
There's no way he actually hadit without. Oh back then. Yeah.
Like to be able to judge it.There's no way.
Something I don't know.Anyway, so I was like,
I gotta tell anybody who will listento me because, uh, you motherfucker
have been missing out on a greatpale ale because you're too
stubborn to try it, apparently.If you've sent that one to me before.
(14:43):
I probably did, just so you could tryit and tell him how wrong he is.
I'm, like, 98% sure that you did.It's in a blue can.
Yeah, it was good.Yeah, I like look, it's not the
best pale ale in the world,but it's super solid and they
make it all the time. I like it.I love me a super solid beer.
Yeah, like when you can justalways fall back on.
(15:04):
It's like, I really don't feellike branching out today.
I'm just gonna get this. Yeah.Like one that is a local hazy that I
always see on tap as Tarantula Hill.Tarantula hills down the street
from me.They've done a great job of
getting their beers intorestaurants and stuff.
And if we're at any restaurant andthey've got liquid candy on tap,
(15:25):
I know I'm good to go.That one you definitely sent me.
I know for sure. No, Eric.Erica sent me that one. Erica.
Yeah, I think she picked it upwhen she was down.
Yeah, just a super solid, hazy.Nothing to write home about,
but. But always good. Solid.Yeah, absolutely.
And, you know, you can count onit when you're at a restaurant.
Their beer selection is not amazing.And, yeah, it's good stuff, man.
(15:45):
It's nice to have that kind of arestaurant beer.
Yeah, and I'm glad that's becomesuch a restaurant,
because before it was like,you know, insert West Coast,
like Firestone Union Jack.It's like, all right, I'm not looking
to strip the enamel off my teeth.Stone IPA. You're right. Yeah.
I mean, that's what it was foryears and years.
So anyways, um,go drink a midwest pale fuckers.
(16:07):
It's good stuff. What about you?Any any beer research these days? Um.
So, uh,not so much for me getting out.
Uh, I've been been busy,but I did pick up, uh,
Tom from pilot. Tom brought. Me.Tom brought me a Utah beer. Oh.
Um, which, apparently it's true.They do make beer in Utah. Wow.
(16:30):
And it wasn't 5%. It was 8.2%.Whoa. It was a double IPA.
Um, it was called.I have it right here, too.
Steph is screaming at.Us right now, ironically enough.
So I actually I actually messagedher a picture of the beer and she
was astounded at how I got it. Mhm.Um, but it was called Ferda and
(16:52):
it's from Templin Family Brewing.And um,
it was a super solid IPA. Nice.Like, it wasn't mind blowing in
any sense, but if it was around,it could be one of those.
Hey, I'll pick this up because.It always safe.
It's 8.2% and the flavor was great.And, uh, like, the aroma didn't
(17:15):
spill out at you and like,it wasn't overly robust with flavor,
but there was enough of boththat just kept you drinking.
And it was wonderful.And again, I didn't. Need to do.
Can't thank Tom enough for thehookups. And you know what he does?
He's. And the smuggling.A true, true friend, let me tell you.
(17:38):
Start calling you guys.You two, uh, Smokey and the bandit.
I like that.Yeah, just smuggling beer for
you everywhere he goes. No.Every time he flies, he's just
going to be listening to Eastboundand Down, loaded up in Brooklyn.
That's a big ten four smoking.Snowman or whatever. Ice. Yeah.
Snowman. Snowman. I love that movie.Ice man is Top Gun, right? Yes.
(18:02):
Yes, it.Is one of those man's cold man's.
So I was able to have a Utahbeer and then a guy at work,
you know, because I don't have alife and everybody else does.
He went out to New York or.No, not New York, Washington,
D.C., uh, went to a show or somekind of convention out there,
stopped at a liquor store on hisway back and brought a four pack
(18:24):
of beer into work and was like,hey, give this a try.
And it was from Zero GravityBrewing from Vermont. Mm.
I've heard of them. Yeah.And it was, uh, or American IPA
beer was called Conehead.Uh, these guys have a super cool
logo, and the beer doesn't have a,you know,
it's not a crazy great rating.It's a 5.7 ABV American Pale uh,
(18:50):
3.8 on Untappd here, but theflavor was absolutely obnoxious.
Oh. For for an American IPA.Like, it was so flavorful,
so crisp, super light bodied.Um, and I just again, really enjoyed,
uh, appreciated the gesture.Just some really,
(19:12):
really kind folks out there I know.So makes you feel like you want
to be a better person,doesn't it? Uh, sometimes.
Sometimes every once in a while.Makes you think maybe I'm not a
good person. Maybe I'm a dick.Well, I knew that already.
I know I'm a dick.Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say.
(19:34):
All right.I was just gonna say that's about
the research. Uh, I've been doing.Oh, I did a little research with
some, uh, THC beverages. Oh.More dabbling. Yeah, so I dabbled it.
Uh, I upped my dosage to theten milligrams. Oh, shit. Yep.
Daddy must have been feeling nice.So I'm not sure if I liked it
(19:57):
too much. It was.I don't I don't know, it just made
me feel way too lightheaded. Mhm.And like, very stumble. Not stumbly.
Wobbly. Wobbly is a good word.It made me feel very wobbly.
Your previous max was like six.Right. Six.
(20:18):
Which I thoroughly enjoyed. Okay.And I even hit a sixer with a
double IPA after.And that was probably the best
I've ever felt in my life.I'm telling you, a nice gummy or we
drink or whatever with a beer or aglass of wine is just chef's kiss.
Yeah it I it was melty was justthe only way I could describe it.
(20:41):
That was a good night.And like, it was crazy because
you're like a shell of a human.And like,
everything was turning in my brain,like my brain was going. I got ideas.
I just couldn't do anything.I was just there.
And then you go, what was I justthinking of? That was a great idea.
If I wish I could remember.It was good stuff, I would.
(21:03):
I would second that to do that.Good times tens a lot. Um.
I'm not I wouldn't recommend. Yeah.When I do ten, I spread it out like
I'll do five, wait like an hourand a half ish and have another.
Unless I'm just looking to getfucking blitzed or something.
Right. And then I'll have enough.So it kind of sneaks up.
(21:23):
But it's not like boom ten, right?So I had four cans, uh,
two of the cans.I did drink kind of fast because
it was like later at night,like 830, and I was just trying
to get some sleep, you know,so I was trying to get it in and let
the effects come out and then zonk,uh, and the other two times,
it kind of spread it out.Probably took me like an hour to
(21:46):
drink, uh, because I wanted tospread it out a little bit. Sure.
But, uh, it just caught up with me,and I think I'll stick with Sixers.
Yeah, I was, uh, I was at the I don'tknow what you call it, the weed shop,
I guess one time, and I don't know.I don't know the dispensary.
Yeah, there you go.And I was buying some gummies
(22:07):
and they go, hey, you know,you spend way too much money.
You want a free Snoop Dogg soda?And I was like, all right,
I'll give it a shot.It was so fucking disgusting.
It tasted like total ass. Really?Yeah. And it didn't work that well.
I think it was.I can't remember it was 5 or 10,
but I remember I was like, oh,I end up chugging it because it was
(22:28):
so bad. It just tasted like medicine.Um, no thanks. Snoop.
No, there's a brewery here.They're really up north,
like five hours away, but they comeout with some infused seltzers
that go up to like 50mg a can,5050, that's 25 and 50. Good lord.
(22:50):
And I couldn't imagine what thatwould do to you. Yeah.
One time I was buying gummiesand the guy was like, hey,
do you want these ones?I was like, no, those are the tens.
I prefer the fives, you know?That's that's good for me.
And he goes, oh, okay. Yeah.I usually end up having about
100 a day. I was like, what?You have 100mg of THC a day?
He goes, yeah.I'm like,
how do you fucking function?He's like, you know,
(23:12):
I just I have a high tolerance.Some people have a higher tolerance.
I was like, yeah, okay, fine,you do 25 or 30mg,
you do a fucking 100g a day. Balls.Also, it must be so expensive.
I would be in a coma. Yeah.I'm pretty sure that would put me
in a coma. It absolutely. Yeah.You'd be glued to the couch.
You wouldn't.You couldn't move with that.
(23:33):
It's insane.I'm trying to think like what is
beyond not being able to move.Right. And that's what I would be.
I mean, you can't die from doingtoo much weed. But. Right.
But it's the next best thing.Oh. Worst thing? The story.
My buddy, who used to be an EMT,rolled up on the scene one time,
and this dad and son had split acookie and they were just
(23:55):
absolutely losing their shit.The mom had called 911 because
she didn't know what to do andthey showed up.
Yeah, they showed up and he goes,look, ma'am,
like there's nothing we can do.It's weed. They're not in danger.
They just have to ride it out, right?We can we can take them in and
hook them up to an IV, and theycan wait it out in the hospital.
But you're gonna have to pay for it,you know?
Or you can just strap them downhere and let it happen.
(24:19):
She goes, no, get them out of myhouse. I don't want them here.
I guess the sun was kind offreaking out.
He goes, okay, do you still havethe wrapper to that cookie?
And she goes, yeah, here.And she pulls it out of the trash.
It was 500mg. Holy balls.Yeah,
I'd be freaking out if I had 252.Yeah, I would say, uh, like,
I've heard about people getting,like, paranoid when they do they
(24:40):
do stuff. Yeah.And, uh, so far, I don't understand
that. I'm not a paranoid stoner.I did that much. Yeah, 100%.
I would start freaking out goingballs crazy.
Yeah,I guess the kid was freaking out and
the dad was so incredibly stoned.He was just, like, moving at,
you know,quarter speed kind of thing. Yeah.
(25:02):
And so they put the kid in thegurney and hooked him up to an IV,
and the mom to the dad said,well, say goodbye to your son.
And he's like, bye. Oh, good.That's brilliant. Yeah. What a.
Story. Yeah.He had some crazy stories.
That was one of my favorite ones.That was a funny one, though.
(25:22):
But, uh.All right, well,
speaking of drinks, you're lookingthirsty over there yourself.
Let's let's get you hydrated.In a world where craft beer is king.
A world where muscles are biggerthan growlers.
Only one tongue can guide us.One man. One tongue. One tongue.
Jabber.In this world, we must find out
(25:46):
what is flax drinking?Well, much like your wife,
who's a wonderful sweetheart.My wife. Um. I'm drinking a beer.
That, believe it or not, my wifebought me. Wow. Which never happens.
I'm hard for you.And we agreed we weren't going to
do anything for Valentine's Daybecause it's Valentine's Day.
(26:09):
Yeah, I'm with you.And, uh, she got me a six pack
of beer. That's fantastic.Which is. Right. It's just.
It says more than it than itdoes to most people. Um.
And she bought it because it has,like, a tattoo heart on it.
Oh, yeah. So it's, uh, Three Floyds.So they do some pretty decent stuff.
(26:33):
I love their tagline here.It says it's not normal.
And this is called jinx proof lageris 5.7% ABV and, uh, it says a crisp,
pale and refreshing lager with alight malt sweetness and plenty of
noble hops which noble hops come fromGermany. See? Got it. Guten tag.
(26:55):
Untappd calls it a pilsner, so Idon't know if I really trust this,
even though it's everything on here.Um, it's a lager.
3.57 is what they got it for.It could be the best lager ever.
It'll be a 3.5.It's crackery, you know,
on the on the nose here.A little bit of them noble hops
coming through. Mm.Smells crisp, if that's a thing.
(27:17):
It is. Now. It is now.It's got great clarity. Oh, yeah.
I mean, it's there's not too muchleft, but, um, I do enjoy this.
Um, get the tongue jobber.Well, it's already warmed up.
Warm up.So, I mean,
it is a super fine classic lager.Definitely get those hops coming
(27:38):
through a little bit.A little bit of that cracker coming
through and just some super duper,super, super duper, super low end,
tiny bit of bitterness that justhits you on the tip, tip,
tip of that back tongue. Just the.Tip. Just super crushable.
Lager is nothing more you canask for out of this beer.
(28:01):
I think 3.57 for it.You know, that's the reason we hate
untapped. Right? Right, right.So like lager wise, I mean,
you're probably looking at a four outof five here, but if you're an idiot,
you know. You're five seven, right?That's how it goes.
That's how it goes.Bunch of idiots on untapped. Yeah.
(28:22):
And, uh. But, yeah. Super duper cool.Cannot see how many times I can
say super duper. Take a drink.Yeah, it's got the skull and the
heart with the arrows going throughit and that vintage tattoo style.
She did a great job picking thisone out. Go, wife. Cheers.
To my wife. My wife. Very nice. Uh.All right, let's hit a little news
(28:45):
before we get up on out of here.Do you see the video of, uh,
Saquon Barkley shotgunning thatbeer after the Super Bowl win?
Yeah, it took like 0.7 seconds orsomething like that. Fucking beast.
I almost wonder if he didn'tactually finish it. It was so fast.
That crossed my mind too.But the other thing that crossed
my mind is I saw somebody whoused to work when he was in
(29:06):
college at Penn State.Somebody used to bartend at this
place he used to go to all the time,and they made this big tweet.
They said they used to bartend at soand so and Saquon would come in,
you know, on the weekends.And he said he would just sit in this
back corner to try and just stay likechill. And you know uh hidden from.
(29:29):
People not getting recognized.And he hated getting recognized
because when he people would saw him,they would just buy him drinks.
he'd buy him shots and hewouldn't drink them.
So he would just have this pileof drinks that kept getting
bigger and bigger at his table.Um, but the person said even though
he never drank them, he said theytipped him for every single drink
(29:52):
that they had brought to the table.So just kind of showing he's
that much of a like he's just astand up guy.
Everything he really does,like the Super Bowl parade when he
saw the Ballboy cheering behind thefence along the way, and he picked
their ball boy up over the gate andthen brought him on the team bus.
(30:13):
Oh, I didn't see that. Yeah.To celebrate the parade with him.
Nice.Like, he's just a super good dude.
He seems like a really nice guy.Yeah.
Like, just a genuine PA guy,I guess. Yeah.
And after shotgunning that beer,I like him even more. Yeah.
So anyways, the beer that heshotgunned was open beer and is a
brand that is led by former NewBelgium marketer David. Whiskey.
(30:38):
No, that's not a real name.Whiskey. I s p n I e w sky.
Well, that's kind of cool. Yeah.Uh, anyways, it's a la based lager
brand, and, uh, makes me wonderif he was sponsored to Juggy.
Either way, I'm impressed,I don't care.
I'm shocked they didn't havegarage beer. You're wrong.
(31:01):
Locker room for that?Well, I guess not, though, because.
No. Yeah. Jason. Jason. It's true.And I feel like he's more of an
advocate for it than Travis. Yeah.I mean,
he looks like an advocate for beer.Well, and he's in, uh, he was in the
Christmas ad that they did, whichwas horribly, horribly creative.
I don't know if I saw that. Oh, dude.Um, the they parodied some
(31:26):
Christmas song, like, some classicChristmas song, but the only word
they used in the song was beer.All right. And that was it.
And then it was just like peoplein a bar, and they were just
singing to this Christmas song.But the only words were.
Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer,beer. Yes. I think that's.
Actually what it was.Oh, I'm just making that up.
(31:47):
No, I think that's what it was.Like jingle bells, but just beer.
All right. So, yeah.Go on with the story. No.
That's it. That's that's the story.Well, okay. Um, $1 beers for life.
If anybody wants a $1 beer forthe rest of their life.
San Francisco brewery is offeringconsumers $1 beers for life.
Kind of standard.Deviant brewing launched a new
(32:10):
membership program to help funda new taproom.
Consumers who donate within threedifferent tiers are awarded with
cheaper pint prices for life.A $1,000 donation will get you a
$5 pint for life.5000 donation gets you $3 pints for
life, or if you donate $10,000,you get the $1 pints for life.
(32:35):
Does it matter what beer do theyspecify? Does not specify.
Says the tap. Excuse me.The program will run until the end of
San Francisco Beer Week, which isFebruary 21st through March 2nd.
About 5 or 6 people as of thisarticle being published have signed
up so far, according to the report.So if you want to drop ten G's,
(32:56):
get dollar pints for life.Yeah, I'm just trying to think,
is it worth it?I mean, I guess if you had ten grand
to blow, but let's say if you hadten grand to blow in a donation,
then it wouldn't matter what youpay for beers at Taprooms.
That's also true.So let's do some math here.
I'm going to say the averagepint price is, especially in San
(33:17):
Francisco is eight bucks.That might be generous.
San Francisco is.Expensive to craft breweries.
That's about what it is here. Yeah.Usually it's like eight bucks.
We'll say eight bucks.If if you were to get if you were to
spend $10,000 on $8 pints, that's1002 1250 pints. I just don't know.
(33:38):
I think, yeah. You have to drink.More than the money. Yeah.
If you had the money to just do it,I think you'd do it. Nike.
But it's not something that is like,uh, a good deal, you know, like.
Unless you drink 1300 pints of that.Drink 1300 pints. Yeah.
(34:00):
Otherwise, yeah,I don't I don't think so.
Anyways, if anybody's got themoney to spend, uh,
with the Super Bowl out of the way,total wine put put out some stats as
to what was the most popular beer inthose cities and drinks in general.
Uh, they shared a list of the topbrands sold in Kansas City and
Philly home market brand familiesBoulevard in Kansas City and
(34:22):
Surfside in Philly topped thelist in the respective cities.
Um, the rest of the top fivebest sellers in Kansas City were
number four For Molson Coors.Miller number three.
Tito's vodka number two.Cutwater spirits and the number
one beer.Well, drink, but happens to be
(34:44):
beer in Kansas City for theSuper Bowl was Michelob Ultra.
I don't understand that.I just don't drink beer.
Then I just. It's so gross.You know, they came out with the
Michelob zero. Oh, goody.Was it already a zero? Exactly.
It's like,how can you make it any less? Yeah.
(35:05):
Um, in Philly, the top fiveshook out with number four.
Molson Coors, Coors number three.Constellation brands, Corona number
two. Cutwater spirits again.And the number one beer or drink is
beer in Philly. Miller. Okay. Yeah.Meanwhile, Buzz Balls was the top
(35:25):
seller in Total wine stores inBoston, Dallas and Los Angeles
across the three day period.Is Or is that the blue one?
That's right.There's a buzz ball shortage in
LA right now.Uh, the top,
I guess ten after Buzz Balls.Josh Cellars,
that's wine modelo. Modelo.Uh, number seven, Boston beers,
(35:46):
sun cruiser.I don't even know what that is.
Number six, Jack Daniels.Yeah,
it must be like an RTD or something.Five Crown Royal four, Surfside,
three.Don Julio, two Tito's vodka and
number one Cutwater spirits.I've had a single cutwater before.
I just, uh. I've never had it.That's the brand.
(36:09):
That Ballast Point started beforethey got bought out for $1 billion.
Okay.Do you know when Ballast Point got
bought out for that billion dollars?They did not include Cutwater. No.
So then they later sold Cutwater toBudweiser. Genius. Fucking genius.
I think I have that right.I think it's Cutwater that was
(36:30):
started by Ballast Point.Whatever Ballast Point started
was then later sold to Budweiser.Tell you what, I might be able to get
behind this Sun Cruiser thing. Might.Might not. It's, uh, iced tea drinks.
Oh, okay. Like a hard iced tea? Yeah.They got, uh, raspberry classic
lemonade and iced tea and then peach.Mm. Interesting.
(36:52):
No, I wouldn't knock it till I tryit. As long as it's not too sweet.
This, uh. I don't think it is.It says, uh, one 100 calories,
so it can't be too much. Yeah.Not a ton of sugar. Actual sugar?
Yeah, maybe fake sweeteners and shit,but. Yeah. And it's a vodka based.
Oh, okay. Very neat, very neat.Well, let's give it a shot.
(37:15):
You remember a couple of years ago,there was the guy who worked for
the Japanese government that gotdrunk and had a USB drive stolen
because he, like,fell asleep on the train. Oh, man.
Maybe I have a such a shitty memory.I do too.
I read this upcoming story andimmediately remembered I was like,
God, this sounds so familiar.Did we do the story?
(37:37):
Oh yeah, we talked about it.Like basically he worked for the
government.He had a flash drive with a bunch
of sensitive data on it and gothammered on a train, fell asleep,
and someone stole his bag.Not too different.
Japanese government worker getsdrunk, loses sensitive information,
and an employee of the financeministry's customs and Tariff Bureau
went drinking with a colleagueafter work last Thursday in the
(37:58):
city of Yokohama, south of Tokyo.Within five hours, the man had
nine glasses of beer. Good job.It wasn't until he had left the
restaurant, gotten on a train andtraveled home that he realized his
bag, containing highly sensitiveinformation, was missing.
The Finance Ministry revealedthe security breach this week,
telling reporters the bag containedadministrative documents with the
(38:21):
names, addresses and case summariesof 187 people, including a suspect
allegedly involved in drug smuggling.The employee had received the
documents at a meeting earlierthat day, the ministry said.
Also in the bag was theemployee's work like work laptop?
Easy for me to say,containing personal information
about the man and his colleagues.The ministry apologized for
(38:42):
undermining the public's trust,saying it would investigate the
matter and take strict action asneeded.
So far, there have been noreports that the lost information
has been used illegally.As of Thursday, the documents and
computer had not been found. Whoops.So I'm just going to go out on a limb
here. Just put myself in the shoes.If I were carrying super sensitive,
(39:05):
highly classified information. Mhm.That thing's not leaving my hand.
I'm not going out with it. Right.And if I am it's, it's handcuffed
to me or it is chained to me.Yeah. Or something.
Or there's some kind of coolhigh tech magnet, you know, that
(39:25):
connects to a bracelet. I have that.Sure. Handle the briefcase.
Doesn't leave. I'm sure it's there.It sounds really cool.
And if not, million dollar idea,right?
Because clearly, these Japaneseguys really, really need it. Yeah.
If we can invent this, we'd be hugein Japan. Fucking millionaires. Yeah.
These guys, they're super smart,but not with super sensitive.
(39:49):
Can't handle their booze. Yep.Also, have they heard of Dropbox?
Why are they still using USB drives?Yeah, I don't.
I don't because they keep losingthem. They're just I don't know.
Yeah. It's mind blowing.Mind boggling when your thoughts
