8 Beers Deep By Halftime

I am still sweating my ass off. Greg: That sounds right. That sounds about right. Flexy: Who knows? Plenty of show, plenty of time to take my clothes off. Greg: Oh, there's still time and there's still dollar bills. Flexy: But not a nudist show. Greg: Not yet. Give it time. And then trudging through the rain in this horrible California storm we have is everyone's favorite brewer and that's Monica.

What's happening? Monica: Hi. Thanks for having me. Greg: Thanks for swimming over. Monica: Yeah, absolutely. Greg: It rains in California and people lose their shit. Monica: People cannot drive. I don't understand. Greg: I saw it on Good Morning America. They're making like a huge deal of it. Is it that big of a deal? I don't know. I mean, yeah. Monica: Things are flooding because we are not set up for that in California. Greg: Yeah, we're very ill prepared for wetness here.

Monica: But it's not very much rain. Like if you were here, you'd be like, this is nothing, but everything is flooding. Greg: Yeah. Like people from Seattle probably are laughing at us hysterically. Like these little biatches can't handle a little bit of rain. The problem here is we're not prepared for it. Drains don't work. And then because it rains so hard a few weeks ago that the ground's like still wet and be like, oh my God, landslides are happening.

It's like, yeah, because you build houses on the side of a fucking hill. Yeah. That's not a smart thing to do. Like, Monica: And no one has all weather tires here. Greg: Nobody does. Greg: Or an architect. That's not smart. Yeah. So we're going to have faults and mudslides here. So why don't we build on the side of a hill? That'd be a great idea. Monica, I bet it looks really fucking cool though, before it falls down. You're not wrong, but Hey, not a property show here. Not a property show.

We got a lot to get to today. The homie Chew, well, sort of called in. Somebody called in. Sounds a little like Chew. We got some booze news to get to and some post Superbowl fallout. I don't want to talk about it. We don't have to. It's not a sports show. It's not a sports show. We're just going to talk about the beer side of it. But before we get to anything, Monica and I are drinking this delicious fucking beer over here. So let's talk about it.

Stupid troopers, anybody? Uh, thanks to my wife. Usually it's my wife who's stealing my beers. We're stealing her beers. We're drinking Three Weavers Brewing Sun Trap. It's a session sour ale, four and a half percent. No IB, no listed IBUs, a three, six, two on untapped. They say as days grow warmer and longer, Sun Trap pulls the craft beer lover into its powerfully refreshing orbit. Sour with lactobacillus and fermented with passion fruit puree, passion fruit puree? Easy for you to say.

Sun Trap's tart and fruity flavors illuminate the palate. This four and a half ABB, ABV quencher is finished with Mendocino sea salt and lemon peel for a lightly tart, bright and refreshing sensation with every sip. From poolside hangouts to cookouts to porch sipping and hammock lounging, Sun Trap shines at any summertime occasion. All right, less words, Three Weavers. I have a feeling she bought this when the weather was a little warmer and it spent some time in the fridge, but you know what?

Still fucking delicious. It's delicious. And I got every one of those notes. Well, see, I'm really glad we have a brewer on because they said it's a session sour, right? Aren't all sours essentially session beers?

Not necessarily. A lot of the ones from the brewery are higher alcohol, right? Yeah. Well, and you load them up with fruit puree and they ferment out. Yeah, and then they ferment out. Yeah. Okay. But all of the sours at Pedal's are around 4%. I like to keep them very low, but I mean, some people are a little bit higher alcohol. I mean, I love session beers in general because when I go somewhere, I like to have maybe two or three and still drive home.

Yeah. I'm a lightweight, so I cannot have like an 8% sour to start my night. It'll start and end your night. Yes. Yeah. I like being able to have a couple. I guess I shouldn't have said all sours, by the way, too. I just mean like most of them because there are some of those materials and whatnot. But sure. I feel like you get an average non-over-fruited sour and it's usually around that four to four and a half. So I don't know. It just kind of blew my mind that- How much was this one?

Four and a half. Four and a half? On the dot. Yeah. I don't know. It wasn't Guavas are Making Me Thirsty, like four, two or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's perfect. You drink them all day. Which is great. You crush the shit out of them. Yeah. This is delightfully tart. It's giving me a little bit of that. So I apologize for any mouth noises in advance. But no apology necessary, girl. Then some extra mouth noises for Flex. Taking notes for the next Goza over there.

I just brought out a sour actually. Oh, I know. I'm excited. But the Goza, I still want to redo that. Yeah. New fruit. It's delicious. New fruit, different day. You just dropped a sour and you just dropped a coffee beer with the homies over at CCR. Yeah. I'm excited. I haven't tried you yet. California Coffee Republic. Yes. I'm going to drink every morning. I was telling Will, the owner, that he has ruined Starbucks for me. Oh, absolutely. I can't fucking drink it anymore. Coffee is that good?

Really? So good. It's really good. You got to send some to Flex. I should. I should send you a bag of coffee. It will ruin you. Yeah. We had like two bags and then we were at Starbucks one day. Just getting our usual. We just get coffee from Starbucks. We don't get anything crazy. And Shannon and I both, same day, got Starbucks separately on our way to work. And she texted me the other day. She's like, "Did you get Starbucks?" I'm like,

"Yeah." She's like, "Did it taste like shit?" I was like, "Did yours?" We went to different Starbucks. Like, what's going on? It's because they're burnt as fuck. Yeah. That's exactly what it is. Like the beans are burnt as fuck. Yeah. I didn't know that coffee could taste like fruit and delightfulness until CCR. Yeah. Well, when we did the collab with 14 Canons,

RIP 14 Canons, Will brought over his coffee. Will brought over coffee. He brought over options. And he was teaching us all about cupping and getting the notes. I think I know what that is. Yeah. Different thing. Oh, shit. Yeah. It was like having a sommelier for coffee. It was great. Will is a sommelier for coffee. Yeah. He's stupider than me. Is there a word for that? Or is it just barista? There's gotta be. There must be. I mean, we have Cicerone for beer, sommelier for wine.

We should come up with one. Like, roastier. Roastier. I don't know. But the guy who roasts the coffee is not bad either. I got nothing on this. Yeah. Come on, Flex. The guy's pretty cool. Yeah. He's fun. He's a cool guy. All right. Enough about this. Let's talk about a little beer. Monica, Super Bowl, football fan? Did you watch any? I did not. Okay. That's what I thought. I cried throughout the Super Bowl. We looked like... Actually cried?

No. Actually, I was afraid Nick was going to cry and maybe throw a table at one point.

He had pounded it. I mean, like, Nick, correct me, but you had to have at least like nine beers throughout the course of the game. And then he decided... One of the guys that was over there, his neighbor, he decided that the 49ers were only playing good while Bob was drinking. So if Bob ever finished a beer, he'd be like, "Hey, Nicole! Bob needs a beer!" Bob would be like, "I'm fine. I'm good." "I don't need a beer. Thank you." "Shut the fuck up, Bob. You need a beer." So good. Didn't help.

Niners lost. Nick is very convincing. He is very convincing. But any favorite commercials? You guys seen the Super Bowl commercials? Did you see them afterwards? The only reason I watched the Super Bowl was to see the debut of the Deadpool 3 trailer. And it wasn't even a trailer. It was like a 30-second tidbit to tell you to go online to watch a trailer, which then I did. And then I was pretty happy. Yeah, it looks pretty good. I'm excited.

Yeah. Did you see the State Farm commercial with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito? No. That was pretty funny. No. I saw that one. There's also a Mountain Dew commercial. Hey, we're talking about a Mountain Dew before the show. With Aubrey Plaza and Nick Offerman. Oh, I saw that one. I did see that one. So good. I love Aubrey Plaza. She's the best. And Nick Offerman at the end was so good. And they got him to laugh, which always makes me giggle. Yes. All right.

So that was good. Did anybody try the released just for the Super Bowl? We were supposed to talk about this last show, and I totally forgot to add it to the list. Truly, the seltzer dropped a hot wing sauce hard seltzer. Really? Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I might have sought that out. Really? Yeah. Desperation is a stinky cologne. Well, just because it's so out there. That cannot be good. It's not like some $60 Dorito vodka. You're not wrong there. It's just a little. That's also a real thing.

Yeah, that's a real thing. Actually, it's not a vodka because they can't decide what alcohol it is. It's just fermented something. Fermented nacho cheese. Yeah. I wish everyone could have seen Monica's face. Yeah. That's pretty nasty. Not a Dorito show. But beyond that, pizza and beer and hot dogs, not cheap when you're at the stadium.

So I pulled up a list of prices if you're at the Super Bowl, and I was surprised. So like a slice of pizza, 14 bucks, stadium price. That's a lot of money. That is. I mean, it's a lot, but popcorn, 15 bucks for popcorn, but $3 for refills. So if you just like share with your entire. Is it like a souvenir bucket? Yeah, exactly. Pretzels were six bucks. This was surprisingly low. Nachos, three bucks. All right. Wow. Yeah. I would have ate nachos all night long. Me too. Just that on nachos.

Yeah. Bag of chips was three bucks. Beer. I thought, all right, beer is going to be $20 plus. No for just your domestics, Coors, but all that stuff, 14 bucks. That's better than Dodger Stadium. It is. It's better than pretty much every stadium. Yeah. I was surprised. Pretty up there from us, but we're also. We have reasonable beer prices, I guess. Must be nice. Yeah. Vegas actually surprised. That surprises me for Vegas because they could mark everything. Right. They jack everything up.

Everywhere you go. Premium beer. I'll tell you what that is in a second. Was 16 bucks. They consider Modelo, Michelob Ultra, Stella, Kona as premium options. Definitely not buying those. Yeah. Like, yeah, Kona maybe. If those were my options, I'd probably pick a Kona, but just figure out highest ABV. Yeah. I might just go Coors Light at that point.

And then they had a deluxe can, which I guess was a larger bud or bud light, and that was 16 bucks, and a premium can, which they didn't list what it was. I imagine it's fake craft, was 18 bucks. Well, I'm curious what that was. Yeah. It doesn't say. It was weird. I'm guessing it's fake craft, like Golden Road or Lagunitas or some shit like that. Right. Yeah. Probably Lagunitas. That actually makes sense. Yeah. Can we start a movement to get craft beer into stadiums, please?

Make craft craft again? Yes. Dodger Stadium did it for a minute. I remember it's like pre-COVID is like 2018 or something. They had one shop behind home plate, all craft. Like real craft, not just Golden Road bullshit. And at one point, Malibu Brewing, before they'd opened up their tap room, had gotten some cans in there. And I think even like 818 had gotten some cans in there. I was like, "Fuck yeah, this is great." And it lasted like a season.

No. Yeah. And now you can find a smattering here and there. We have a decent amount like that. I hate calling it AmFam Field because to me, it's always going to be Miller Park. Yeah. Just call it Miller Park. Miller Park, where the brewers play. Terrapin made this huge deal with Miller Coors. That's because they're owned by Miller Coors. Well, exactly. So then there's actually a good amount of Terrapin shit throughout the stadium. And it's actually pretty solid.

Oh, yeah. Like their Luau Krunkles. It's a Pog IPA. Oh, you had me at Pog. Super nuts. It's actually super nuts. And they also have some third space, which is a local brewery downtown. They actually have a craft beer spot in Wright Field somewhere. And you can go get like, there's like 24 different craft beers throughout the city. And you can just waddle all the way around there. I mean, it's kind of a walk if you're not seated over there.

But there's a good amount of craft options at the park formerly known as Miller Park. Yeah, we were in Missouri for my best friend's wedding and we saw a hockey game and a baseball game while we were there. And they both had craft beer options. And it was like, what the heck? Yeah, we could do this too. Petco Park, San Diego. Good beer selection there. Well, it's San Diego. I think they'd be fired. Yeah, craft beer capital.

Yeah. The best is, and it is like once or twice a year, they do a beer fest before the game. And it's like, it's $5 a pour. And so we just, whenever we've been down there like three times for it just by chance, one of which was our bachelor bachelorette party. So we did that. You go and have some $5 really good local beers, get absolutely plastered, and then you don't have to pay stadium prices. Yeah, not a single dollar.

Yeah. Then you have nine innings to pull your life together before you have to stumble home. It's great. Which that's my problem is I usually tie one on pretty good before the game. And then my plan is not to buy a single beverage throughout the game. But you have one. I ended up going with generous people who just leave and they come back and they hand me a beer. Oh, those guys. I'm like, that's fucking great. But I'm trying to cool out here. Like I'm your ride home.

Oh God. Please stop feeding me alcohol. One time after one of those beer fest at the Petco Park, we were leaving and we were walking,

wasn't a big deal. We were staying down there and the cops had this table set out to demonstrate how drunk you were and you didn't know it. And they're doing breathalyzer tests. Just like, "Hey, you want to guess what your BAC is and then we'll test you." And so the wife walks up and she goes, "I think I'm on the 09." And she blew in on the money, 09. And I walked up and I'm like, "I'm feeling good, but not crazy." I was like, "I'm going to say I'm like a 10." And I was like,

"19." Stop it right now. I was dumb on what I said. Wow. Guy goes, "Are you driving?" I was like, "No." And I wouldn't admit it if I was. I said, "We're staying down here. Don't worry. Please don't arrest me." Yeah. Oh Lord. Yeah. Turns out I was hammered. Didn't know it. It's really hard to tell. Yeah. Especially because, I mean, we'd have been drinking just slowly all day.

It's hard to, you know, when you have like four beers in the evening, you kind of know where you are or three beer, you know, whatever it is. But when you're just, you're in San Diego, you're having a flight here, you're in San Diego, you're having a flight here, and a flight there, and a flight there, then you're at the game, you have a couple beers or whatever. You really don't know where you are. I sure didn't. Yeah. Whoops. So good times. We've all been there. Yeah, that's for sure.

The most poured beer during the Super Bowl. Most poured beer. This year,

Light Lager was down, but Lager was up overall. Any guesses as to which beer was the most poured? Medela. That's what I was going to say, but I hate saying the word because you all make fun of me. Yeah. Good guess. Medela was second. Okay. First, Michelob Ultra. Interesting. So gross. Like, can't we have like a Coors Light or a Banquet Beer or something? Like Michelob Ultra is the fucking worst. It's just super water. It's just water. It's like rice water. How many calories is in that?

90, right? 95. Less than 100. It's like two carbs. Yeah. It's like, get something better because Light Lager is like 100-ish calories. Sure. Yeah. Get something that tastes good. It's got double the ABV. Yeah. And same price. Yeah. Yeah. Just get a real Lager. I think even like a Miller Light I think has like 96 calories. So I think that's where like Michelob Ultra came in and was like, "Hey, we're going to get you." That's less calories. "Hey,

we're going to get you." Yeah. So it's like 96 and then 95. So it's like, "Boo-yah." You can have that stick of gum now. Get that Wrigley's going on. Yeah. What did I drink? Actually, you know, it's funny. I think I had some Kona. We were over at Coley and Nick's house, obviously. Nick was in shambles. They had some Kona. They had some 805. I think I had some IPAs at one point. We didn't drink a terrible amount. Someone had to drive home. Does Nick just drink out of nerves then?

That night, he absolutely was. Back when the Packers went to the Super Bowl back in 2011, I was so nervous. I brought a 12-pack of coolers over to my parents' house where I went to watch a game. And I was- Did you jump on the chill train? I was eight beers deep by halftime. By the start of the fourth quarter, I had already finished my 12-pack and I was digging into my brother's stash of MGD.

Needless to say that by the end of the game when the Packers had won, I was in the front yard giving myself a beer shower as if I had just won the Super Bowl. A la Stone Cold? Oh, I mean, no. I mean, I was literally just pouring beer all over myself. I wasn't even like doing the cool drinking it and it's just pouring everywhere on me. No. No. And then long story short, I threw up in my car on the way to work the next morning. Ooh. What a fun night. Yeah. Good times. That was great. We won.

Yeah. It was great. I wonder how Nick was the next day. He was pretty trashed. I was fine. I think I had like three or- I think I had four beers the entire game, like one per quarter. So... Wow, Mr. Pacer. Usher was good. Yeah, when I had to drive, you know. Did you watch the halftime show? Ten minutes down the road? Yeah. Eight. So, anyhow. Safety first. Safety first, everybody. You know, I wasn't overly excited going into the halftime show.

I thought it was very well done. I was pretty pleased with it. I was confused why Usher put his shirt back on. I mean, yeah. Let's keep it on. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, why would you do that? Well, especially when you're Usher. He's got a hard body. Give the people what they want. Understatement of the year. Right? Come on. And the man can roller skate. Yeah. Yeah. That was impressive. Did you watch? Did you like look it up afterwards or anything? I did. Yeah. That was a great halftime.

I mean, that was my jam back in the day, all that shit. So, that was great. I mean, I'm not sure. Yeah. Yeah. We'll find out eventually. I saw Usher in concert one time. Somebody was like, "Hey, you want to come with me?" I was like, "Sure. How bad could it be? It's Usher. I like Usher." One of the best fucking shows I've ever seen. Like, he just never stops. Whatever album he came out with that had "Oh My God" on it, my wife went and saw him when he was in town. Probably about the same time.

Yeah. Probably about the same time. She loved it, you know. And I found out my brother-in-law went and saw him back in like 2004. And he said the show was awesome. But the cherry on top was that Kanye West was actually the opener for that '04 show. Wow. Oh, pre-Crazy Kanye. Yeah. Pre-anybody even knowing who Kanye was. Right. That was even pre-Kanye's workout plan. Right. So, that was pretty neat. Ooh. That was a good one. That was like peak Kanye before he went nuts. It was. It was.

And then finally, happy birthday, Deb. Deb's birthday is this week.

Oh, happy birthday, Deb. She's in Ireland, eh? Yeah, top of the morning. I saw that. Yeah, they're having real Guinness. Yeah. They making out with the Blarney Stone. Yes, exactly. Do you like Guinness, Monica? I do. Like regular, you can get it here in the States, Guinness? Yeah. I've not been to Ireland to try the good stuff yet, but I want to. It's well documented how flexed I feel about Guinness and our dislike for it. But I would absolutely try it there. I mean, it's better than Michelob.

Well, I don't know. Like I'll take Guinness over Michelob. Yeah, I'll take it over. There's more flavor to it. There is more flavor to it. I'll give you that. You know what I have a hard time with is a lot of nitro beers. For the most part. Some people just don't like nitro. It's the texture on my tongue. Yeah. It's soft. It's weird. I want the bubbles. Yeah. And so Guinness doesn't do it for me. I don't see it. I like the crispies.

Yeah. I expect Guinness to be packed with a lot of flavor, the way people talk about it. Like my friend drinks it because he says it's like alcoholic chocolate milk. It is not. No, not at all. I think your friend is wrong. You should let him know. Yeah. I don't get chocolate at all from Guinness. Roasty toasty. Roasty toasty dry. Yeah. Yeah. It's not a fan. Yeah. Me. Same. Yeah. Well, let's move on. Let's check the old mailbox and see who's left a voicemail. Hello.

No one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone.

G'day mate. This is Chew's Aussie cousin Chew Your Roo from Australia. So guess what? I'm calling in to review a brew, Foster's Australian for beer. Now this beer is very good and it's also a deterrent. What does it deter? Dango's. No more Dango's taking your babies. A Dango's sees this can. The can is very big, so it scares the Dango's and there's no Dango's taking your babies. So a great food pairing with Foster's is shrimp on the barbie. That's right, mate.

Shrimp on the barbie with your Foster's is the perfect pairing of you and beating up Dango's before you take your baby. All right, my friends, this is Chew Your Roo calling in from Australia, mate, and I'll talk to you next time. As Chew says, peace, Dango. Thanks for the long distance call. That was extremely interesting. It was something. I've actually heard they don't even have Foster's in Australia. They don't? That's what I've heard. Oh.

I don't think I've ever had one. It's all a lie. Have you ever had a Foster's? I don't think I have. We have the big single cans at work. Oh, so you've had one or eight? I haven't had one yet. Oh, okay. It's only a matter of time. We should have a Foster's episode. Come on. And then we'll be forced to talk in Australian accents the whole time. It'll be really bad. I know. We can't do accents. No, we ban ourselves. We have sworn to ourselves. There's even a whole show. A lost show.

A lost show we can't put on air. So bad. So bad. And it's not even offensive. It's just bad. No, it's just bad. Yeah. Good times. I wish it was offensive. Then it would be worth something, but this is just terrible. You're not wrong. It's really bad. All right. Before we get onto some news, let's answer one of the more important questions of the night. In a world where craft beer is king,

a world where muscles are bigger than growlers, only one tongue can guide us. One man, one tongue, one tongue jobber. Oh, yeah. In this world, we must find out what is flax drinking. At least it's like a skin color shirt almost. I can imagine. Any weasels. Tonight, the answer to the most important question. Flax is drinking the Definitive Brewing Company's particles.

I've heard of Definitive. I've never seen their stuff. Saw it at my shop and I said, "Hey, we'll give them a shot." So they are out of Portland, Maine, not to be confused with Portland, Oregon. Sure. Portland has this at a 4.15 at over 6,000 check-ins, an 8.3% ABV with, get this, 65 IBUs. They actually took time to list their IBUs. It says particles is an 8.3% double dry hopped double IPA with Citra, Simcoe, and Topaz, rocking a similar hop profile to Definitive Ale.

Don't know what that is, but with extra horsepower. Give me them horses. Wow. So this hop saturated beer tastes and smells like ripe fruit orchards, I'm sorry, kiwi peels and lemon sorbet. I'll tell you what, this is definitely over saturated with hops. It is very oily. It is very lingering on the old tongue jobber, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's raining hops. So on the old schnauz, definitely get the lemon sorbet, that citrusy. It's not even the peel either.

It's citrus flesh, the juices squeezing out. It's very nice. As saturated as it is with the hops, it's not super present. That green aroma, very, very fresh. Just a lot of nice citrus on there. So we'll warm up the old tongue jobber. Here we go. What's crazy is it actually tastes like kiwi. It's mind blowing. I was drinking this and I didn't read the description before. It just tasted different. And then reading that and putting it together, kind of blows my fucking mind.

The IBUs, the 65, they are there. This is like half juice bomb, half West Coast without the maltiness. So I feel like this is a super well done beer. I hate not having well done beers. Don't we all? The can art, if you can see, it's all like particularly electronic-y, like an atom kind of thing. Nice and nerdy. Kind of nerdy. Kind of caught my eye. Definitive in big letters on the can. I don't know. It reeled me in. 8.32, you can't go wrong with that.

I think this was like, correct me if I'm wrong, which you can't because you don't know. Like 17.99 for the four pack. All right. Hey, you're wrong. So I'd say it is pretty algorithm worthy. Dig it. It passes. Nice. It's a good looking beer too. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh my gosh. Shame on me for not having a good color to it. Nice and hazy. Yeah, it's hazy, but it's not chunky. Look at it keep the head. Yeah, it's nice lacy too. That's all that's left of the beer and it's still got some head to it.

Pretty good. I would say pretty good. Nice. I dig it. All right. Let's talk a little news before we hit up out of here. Beer Nevada has named its next CEO.

They've tapped Price Greenow as their next leader. He comes from a beam Suntory. So he's used to the spirits world. This is an interesting one. The BA, the Brews Association announced a couple of weeks ago that they lost money last year and finances are not maybe as good as they have it in the past.

And then this week they announced that they're putting home brew con on hiatus and we'll do some home brew events at GABF instead. Interesting. Which I think is kind of, kind of makes sense. Really like I don't see why have two different events when GABF is supposed to be such a huge fucking event. Yeah. Bring it all into one. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. We were there. There was more space. Yeah, that sounds great. It's like giving GBA, GBA, GABF. Easy for you to say. The Swedish made penis larger.

It's making, make it a little bit bigger. Yeah, it's exactly what that is. For those who are looking forward to some Coors Light,

the Fort Worth Coors employees have decided to strike over talks that aren't going well. So no fresh Coors coming your way? Monica looks real sad. They'll drink the night culture. Heartbroken. Yeah, I can tell. Flex, how about a list? I love lists. The drunkest NFL fans this season ranked.

I think Green Bay, what, we only came back at like a seven. Actually you nailed it. Seven. Yeah, it's kind of lame. Yeah. Any guesses on the top of the list or anything? Any teams you hate? Not that I hate, but I would think the Raiders. Yes. Number nine Raiders. Yeah. Because Vegas, man. You're already there to drink. And Raiders fans are rowdy. Let's be honest. Yeah. They're not subtle. They're probably some of the worst people in the world. I wish I could disagree with you.

It's like somewhere cold because you have to drink to keep warm. So I do know what number one is and I don't want to ruin it. Okay. I'm not going to read the whole list. I'll go from 15 down. Number 15 and I'll do the team and the BAC average. That's the Broncos and their average is 07. So, you know, not drunk. Staying under the limit. Yeah. We've got the 49ers number 14 at 0.07 as well. Moving up a little bit. Was that before or after the Super Bowl? I'm sure it was before.

Nick brought that average up to you. I'm sorry. That was uncalled for. I didn't mean to do that. Yeah. Can I mute your? I can mute your mic from here. Perfect. You can mute me. Yeah. Next is the Seahawks at an 07.3. The Browns also at an 07.3. Number 11, the Buccaneers at an 07.4. I expected more drunkenness out of Florida fans. But Tampa's like north. No, that's Jacksonville. They're like central. Yeah. Yeah. Number 10, Rams at an 07.5. Nine, like we said, the Raiders 07.8.

The Patriots also at a 07.8 as well as the Packers at number seven and the Dolphins at number six. Moving up at number five are the Saints at an 07.9. Finally, someone getting drunk. Number four, the Falcons at an 08. They're terrible. The Falcons. Yeah. So that's why everybody's drinking. It was a rough season for them. My husband's favorite team is the Falcons. Really? It is awful. That must be heartbreaking. Is that like a childhood thing of his or?

Yeah. It's probably because of the red helmets. I get it. I feel the same way. Nothing likes red helmets. Number three, the Colts at an 08.5. Number two, Steelers. Oh, I thought they were number one. No, at an 08.8. And the number one drunkest team last year. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now I got to guess. And the average is an 093. Last year. Well, this most recent season. This most recent season. Jets fans? Nope. Not the Jets. Any guesses? Vikings? No. I was surprised.

The Vikings are actually pretty far down on the list. I figured it's cold. It's really cold there. Yeah. They're 25. Number one, Tennessee Titans. Really? Yeah. They had some rough. They did have a rough year. Yeah. Some injuries. Yeah. Some injuries. So, yeah. Terrible play. Terrible ownership. Now, I'd love to see the BAC level of Niners fans after the Super Bowl. Definitely number one. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, rough day. But not a Super Bowl podcast.

No, even though we spent half the time talking about beer and pizza at the Super Bowl.

Well, yeah, it's a beer podcast. And pizza nap. Pizza is just great with beer, you know? It's the perfect pairing. The great pairing. Yeah. I did have some Detroit style pizza today. I don't know if you've ever. I don't know what that means. What is that? Yeah. What's the difference? It's like- Do you get mugged on when you take a bite? It's like rectangular in shape. Oh, it's like that Little Caesar's like triangle, or not, rectangles pizza thing? Yeah. Is it thin crust or thick crust?

No, it's like thicker. It's like not like- Okay. Not deep dish, but- It's not deep dish, but it's like that thicker crust, like that fluffier. Okay. It was really fucking good. I didn't think I was going to enjoy it. It was really good. I give it a shot. I think I talked about this already. I had some really good pizza a couple of weeks ago. It was the Buffalo chicken pizza. Wow. That's just the best. Yeah. How could it not be good? Yeah. Yeah. That's really good.

We'll end it on this one because I just love the headline. Drunk driving suspect arrested at Russell Stover's Chocolates.

A drunk driving suspect was arrested with a vape pen and marijuana at Russell Stover's Chocolates in Wildwood. Ashley Martinez, 35 of Wearsdale, was driving... We don't care. Was driving a car when she got caught traveling at 50 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone. A traffic stop was initiated in the Russell Stover's parking lot. Canine unit was summoned to the scene... Talk about overdoing it.

A canine unit was summoned to the scene and the dog alerted on the vehicle signaling the likely presence of drugs. It also appeared that Martinez had been drinking. She struggled through field sobriety exercises and provided breath samples that registered... A .116 and a .121. A search of the vehicle turned over 2.4 grams of marijuana, a vape pen, and a brownish colored liquid that tested positive for THC and cut straws with the residue of amphetamines. She was arrested, blah, blah, blah.

The way this was written was awful. It's like an old white dude wrote this thing. Just shocked it wasn't like a Florida article. 2.4 grams of marijuana. I just love that she was stone drunk and they found her at a Russell Stover's store. It makes sense. Yeah. It's like, where else are you going to go? Yeah. Yeah. It's perfect. I'm going to get a burrito. That's where I'm going to go. Yeah. I'll tell you what. She just must love chocolate when she's drinking and high. Yeah, man.

I mean, people have their snacks. I mean, when the wife and I definitely don't dabble, I'm more on the ice cream side of the fence and she wants some fucking chips. Interesting. Yeah. I'm a nacho cheese at any time. Oh. Yeah. Dabble or otherwise. Yeah. Yeah. Just nacho cheese across the board. Nacho cheese all the time. Now, do you want nacho cheese flavored chips or do you want actual nacho cheese? The terrible nacho cheese. Like Doritos. Oh, no. Oh, you want the plastic-y gas station goop?

No, like Taco Bell. Okay. That's pretty good stuff. It's pretty good.

It's still terrible. It will sit in your fucking intestines for like three weeks, I think, minimum. Oh, perfect. Yeah. Anything at Taco Bell minimally stays in your system for three hours. Oh, it's getting pushed out. Pushed out. But that just turns into like plastic. It mixes with saliva and becomes plastic. It's the worst. But it's so good. Still love it. Yeah. I would eat it and pour it on whatever other food I was ordering. Oh, okay. That's pretty brilliant. Yeah. It's pretty fat.

Well, I guess they're coming out with like chicken nuggets now at Taco Bell. I don't know if you've seen the news. I'm not a chicken at Taco Bell person. Yeah. I think I'll pass. But I feel like you're going to have to try them anyway with the nacho cheese. I'm sure you could dunk them in some nacho cheese. Yeah. No? I feel like this is a lane that Taco Bell didn't need to drive down. I'm like a nacho cheese, but with tacos and like Taco Bell.

They did like a whole announcement like Apple does every year. You know, that was pretty awesome. But one more thing that they have a convention like an E3 convention to be like, this is what foods coming out at Taco Bell. Is it only a Taco Bell convention? Yeah. No fucking way. Yeah. They had a whole thing. And they came out. They announced like 14 new items to the menu, which is great because they took a bunch of shit off during the pandemic. Oh, yeah. A lot of restaurants did.

Yeah. It seems like they would bring something back or bring in something new that was really good. And you're like, oh, I liked that. Then you go back to get it. They're like, oh, yeah, we don't have that anymore. Oh, fuckers. It's like, but you just. They just. I just, you were just had it and I was here three days ago and you had it. Where did it go? Oh, we don't do that anymore. Oh. I legit haven't had Taco Bell in probably a decade. Do they sell the Crunchwrap Supreme? They do.

Oh, that thing was so fucking good. Yeah. That's all I order from there. I used to work at McDonald's and down like a block away was Taco Bell. And we sort of like one guy ended up working at both places at one point. So we sort of became friends. Is that allowed? Yeah. No, I don't know. Yeah. He didn't like he signed his NDA. Working for competition. Yeah. But we would call them like, hey, guys, want to do a swap? They're like, yeah, let's do it.

So we'd you know, they'd get all their burgers and we get our horrible Taco Bell and we'd pick somebody to drive it down there. Yeah. It's good times. Yes. Maybe get stoned in the fridge. Yeah. What else? I have to let you. Well, I have to let you know now when I worked for the local grocery chain, it was against the rules to have like a second job. If you had two jobs part time to work for like a competitor grocery store. Oh, and if they fire you. Yes. There's no way they can.

If they if you were quitting, like so you put your two week notice in and they got wind that you were going to like the local independent chain, they would bring security in and have you escorted out the building. Fuck off. No, not even kidding you. They wouldn't even let you finish out your two weeks. Like you're working at some bank or some shit. Yeah. That's terrible. That's spiteful. They're afraid you're going to walk out with a tub of Oreos or something.

It's the worst company you probably could. Anybody could have probably worked for. Four hours into my new job, I realize how terrible the last 15 and a half years of my life were. Like my job's not that bad. You get a new job like, oh. I tell people now it's like I actually lived a lie. People would be like, oh, how do you like your job? And I would always tell them, oh, I love my job. You know, sometimes it just gets stressful and you deal with the stress and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

No, fucking hated it. Absolutely hated it. What a waste of time. I hear, I still have friends who work for the company and just hearing shit that they have to say, it just makes me so glad that I did what I did and finally had the balls to be done with it. Yeah. Yeah. Good. You're a good guy. Yes. But yeah, just the whole competitor thing is just, it's a real thing. That's crazy. That's what I'm saying. It's a real thing.

I don't know about out there, but in California it's really hard to like hold up a non-compete clause. They almost. Yeah, people can't survive without two jobs. So good luck. Like they're kind of a joke out here. People try to enforce them and then they just get sued for it basically. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Welcome to California. Yeah. We get sued for everything out here. Yep. Oh yeah. Anyways, not a California show. No. I guess it kind of is. All right.

Let's hit some music and get a butt out of here. I'm going to say hi to Vanessa. Oh Vanessa. Where in the street is she? She's coming out to California soon. Girl. Yeah. She's going to get sued while she's out here. Make sure you ice her. Oh yes. Goddamn. You're a genius. Yeah. Should have said that off air. She listened. Probably. Hey, you know what we're not going to do? We're definitely not going to ice her. Yeah. Take it out. Cut it out. Yeah. Cut. Edit point.

Because you know whenever I say edit point, it definitely gets taken out. Definitely. Every time. Yeah. Find us at craftbeerrepublic.com, @craftbeerrepublic, @flexmebeer_ is in between. Monica is at momoagogo on the gram. Did I get it right that time? Yeah.

Fuck yeah. And of course, Pedals and Pints on the gram and socials as well. Or Pedals and Pints Brewing. Right? Pedalsandpintsbrewing.com and go try the new fucking sour and coffee beer. I'm so excited for all of those. Yes. I think that's everything. Yeah. Hope everyone out there is staying very well hydrated and I promise on the next show to not have a sour so I can talk normally. And on that note. And good night everybody.
