get down in here.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I think was it three years ago something like that.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, it was good because like we had well actually,
I mean we had a group of guys. It was
like me, you, doc Hes, the four of us where
we would take turns making the cannonball run to Arkansas
essentially Louisiana. Sometimes guys were taking vacations in Florida and
(01:10):
getting it there. But where we the four of us
took turns buying it and like we would go and
like every time you went you filled up an entire
shopping cart full of it and brought it home and
we distributed amongst us, you know, evenly, Hey, I wanted,
I wanted three cases. I wanted three cases I wanted
and that's what we did. But then they started distributing
(01:32):
here in Texas and it was like, oh, it's going
to be a lovely day.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, lovely lovely day. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I mean I've been to Florida since and I didn't
have to like, Okay, well I don't have to worry
about bringing it back anymore, right, And then you know,
with the last time I went to I love that.
The last time I went to Shreveport was the Streetport?
Was it just I don't know, it's a text Arcana

Friday night, and you know, they were like, hey, you

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I was like, yeah, sure, why not. I looked at
LIZI I go, it's gonna kind of be rainy and crap.
I mean, do you want to sit around or do
you want to drive to like Arkansas or Louisiana And
She's like, I mean three hours away. I was like,
it's what two and a half or whatever. I was like,
you want to go there? She goes, yeah, let's get
in the car and go. And so we went, and
you know, we hit the Walmart right there, right across
(02:24):
the border and loaded up the whole shop and cart.
Everybody's like, what the hell. I'm like, and I'm rolling
on out there. I did look over my head a
couple of times over my shoulder because it was kind
of it was like, you know, eight or nine o'clock,
ten o'clock at night.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That was always a thing like again with the hey, hey, cheers,
malls and malls, good things.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
There we go, Let's get this in oer belly.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That was always the thing with the four of us.
It was like, hey, I'm going who wants them? And
everyone's like, I'll take three cases. I'll take three. It
was typically three cases each, right, and you would you'd
fill up an entire shopping cart full. I remember on
one of the last times I went, and I was
(03:08):
in I think it's Louisiana where you can't buy alcohol
at all on Sundays.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Oh okay, yeah, it'd be Louisiana or something like that.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, And so like I'm there, it's it's Sunday. It's
like three four o'clock, and I'm like, hey, guys, I'm here.
I'm getting it right, And so I fill up the
entire shopping cart full and I roll it up there
and I get to the red shirt and the last
he goes, what are you doing? I go, I'm buying
(03:39):
some yeeling. You know, I live in Texas. I've got
some buddies we all, you know. And she's like, well,
you can't buy that.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I go why.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
She goes, well, Sunday. I go, yeah, but it's like
three o'clock and she goes, no, no, you can't buy
alcohol at all.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
On Sundays and what she said?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
She goes, yeah, no, we don't see alcohol at all
on Sundays. And I was like, like, well, it's beer.
I'm not buying liquor. She goes, and I'm like what
the And so I was like I text him. I
was like, sorry, guys, apparently we're living in like Nazi
(04:24):
Germany and I can't buy beer on Sundays. You know,
I can't get anything for anyone.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
So yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I remember when I got was there and it was like, yeah,
you can't have beer on Senego what like not even
just like beer.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I just want a beer. I can't go to a
restaurant and have a beer. They go beer.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It's like, what, Well, it's Sunday. No, I get it,
it's the Lord's Day. But the Lord also turned water
into wine, so why can I buy beer?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, he wasn't going to a party to not have fun.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Right, And it's not like the Karen Texas. Until it
was like two years maybe three years ago, you can
buy beer and nude, yeah, which always sucks. I do
grocery shopping on Sundays and then it's like I'm doing
grocery shopping and we go home watch football. I'm gonna
grab I would just grab a twelve pack of beer.
(05:13):
And then I get up there and this before twelve
and they're like, it's sorry, you can't buy that until twelve.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I'm like fuck yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Even when they change it, it was like Walmart and whoever
else was like yeah no. I was like, no, it's
already passed, already done, it's over. Give me the beer.
Like no, the system will let us go. You're not
hearing me. It's like, yeah, I understand.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
But it's also like the crazy thing is like here
in Texas because I've gone through this with doing like
door dash, hm, if you order it and pay for
it on a Sunday, and like, there are some places
where like you order and you pay for it where
I don't have to like buy it, right because there's
(05:55):
two different things, like I go and I pick up
an order, or I go and I I I do
the shopping and I pay for the order. They're two
different things.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Against the cart or door dash, but they're both door
dash right, Okay, there's door dash orders where I go
and I pick up an order, and there's door dash
orders where I go and I shop for the.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Order and I pay for it. Interesting and in Texas
you can't buy beer until ten o'clock, but seven o'clock
seven point thirty, there's there's a convenience store that I'll
always go and pick up orders from around the seven
o'clock hour when they open up, and it's they pay
(06:40):
for it and they buy it through the shop, so
I just go and pick it up.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And if I do that, they got the work around, right,
it's a workaround. But if but there's also like sometimes
at like seven o'clock, which I love, these orders like honestly,
because it's like it's like a thirty dollars order and
door Dash is like, well, we'll pay you half. It's
like seven thirty in the morning and I go to
Market Street and it's just a toll pack of Mendelos
(07:09):
and if I have to go and pay for it,
they can't do it. And so I just I go
there and I'm like, oh, I can't buy it because
it's too late or it's too early. And then I
send a message and I like it's too early, and
they're like, okay, we'll pay you half. It'll be like
a thirty dollars order and I'll end up get paid
twenty bucks for it for nothing. Well, it's just yeah,
(07:32):
and so it's always great and but yeah, it's just
But if you go to somewhere and you pay for
it through the store and you do the shopping through
the store, because I've gone to again, I've gone to
Mark Street, and I've done the ones where they have
an actual order where they do it all and I've
picked it up and where I don't have to shop
for it and buy for it, buy it and pay
(07:54):
for it. Yeah, I can deliver it to you at
seven thirty in the morning. And I've had some some
of those orders where I show up at seven thirty
in the morning, and some of them is someone who is, uh,
they're still partying from the night before.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
They're feeling good.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
They're feeling good. But some of them is, no, I
worked all night last night. And this is my because
I used to work like I used to work over
nights before I worked for saying for the company we
work for.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I worked over.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Nights at Walmart. And I'm done working at seven in
the morning, and it's that's that's my time to drink.
So at seven in the morning and I'm going home
and I'm having a few beers before I go to
bed and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Right, Yeah, it's just different timing, right, just all.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
It's all different.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So yeah, yeah, jeez, what are you thinking of this
little Yanling Octoberfest beer?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Pretty damn good. I'm really enjoying this beer.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I love Yingling, like it just yelling as a whole.
I love it. I enjoy it. Is one of the
beers I had today when I was out day drinking.
You know, the first place I went to they didn't
have it on tap, so I was drinking some cores
light and then the second place we went to and
(09:12):
on tap, I was like, oh, i'll take it. I'll
take any here. And it's just funny because like I
I went the first bar we went, we were at
D and B and I was like, hey, i'll have
a I'll have a course. I go, i'll have a
course light and she goes okay, and she brought me
a tall one, right, and I say the same thing.
We went to some peaks. I go, well, I have
a I'll have aying. She goes okay. Because like I'll
(09:36):
go to some places like well, I think Apple's are
the biggest one where I'll have this issue or somewhere
like that. I'm like, oh, let me have a PBR
or whatever, like you want a bigger or tall And
I'm like, I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
The question, because what's big and what's tall? Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I just want big? Like why why would I want
to uh small or whatever?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Right, I mean they're going to ask you anyways I want.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
But yeah, but no, I went to dB. I was like,
i'll take I'll take careurs like she goes okay, and
she comes out with the big old freaking thing, and
I'm like I appreciate you knowing what I wanted when
I went like this, She goes, yeah, no, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah, I like this.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I like their take on the Mars and it's not
too sweet. They don't overdo it with the Caramo or
anything like that. I think it's pretty easy on the maltiness,
you know what I mean. It's just it's an easy drinker.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Some of these people get out there where it's just
overly sweet and I just can't take that.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
But this one pretty damn good.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
The color is awesome, Like it's beautiful, like a nice
maybe copper.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, the head on it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And the thing is like anytime we show it, like
like showing it right here, it's darker than what it is.
It always comes up darker on the camera versus what
it actually is. Mhm, really damn good. Marvin Harrison Junior
gets a TV twenty to twelve pending the extra point.
(11:10):
So turns out Marvin Harrison Junior isn't god awful, but
he's not his dad. How about that?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah? Yeah, I would say that's it's good catch. Good catch. Yeah,
so really good, really good stuff here.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I really enjoyed this. I think it's really good. Two
thumbs up for me.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
