It's More Bitter Than Your Mom

[intro music]

Welcome in, everybody, to the Craft Beer Republic Thanks for drinkin', thanks for joinin' I am Greg, and I am being joined by the caveman of the Midwest, and that's Flex What's up, buddy? Hey, that coffee's really hittin' ya, man Woo! And welcome, everybody, to the main event The main event that is the Craft Beer Republic Yeah, that's right And we are your main attraction of the main event Follow us on the socials

@CraftBeerRepublic, @FlexMeBeer, underscores, brother, in between It's gonna be a lot of brothers tonight So much emphasis So much on the underscores Like, don't forget the UNDERSCORES Anyways, sorry All that good stuff We got a lot to get to tonight I have a fresh new beer that I'm excited to

talk about Ooh! Ooh! Sorry, I got a fresh new beer Beer, yeah! I got a lot of booze news to get to We got a voicemail from the homie Chew Your Beer And I made something that I can't wait to tell everybody about in honor of Flex Oh!

Yes I almost wish you would have surprised me with this Sorry I mean, it's not the most pod-friendly surprise We'll get to it We'll get to it Yeah, but it's still pretty neat I can't wait I'm very excited for it So anyways, before we get any further, let me do a little hydration over here I am drinking Fall Brewing Company in collaboration with Harland Brewing I

like a little can art This is Conflict of Interest It is a West Coast IPA It is 666% Ooh, right And it has a 397 on untapped From the brewery, they say, "We placed a couple of calls to our friends over at Harland Beer to come brew with us After many a conversations and no ulterior motives whatsoever, we landed on a new age retro, clearly unfiltered India Pale Ale" "Coming in at 666% ABV, we didn't only make a deal with Harland, if you catch our drift,

we overloaded it with all sorts of hops like Citra Cryo, Citra Dyna Boost, New Zealand Cascade, Nectaron, bringing brilliant notes of juicy peach, red berries, pineapple, tangerine, and pine" That was a lot That was like Stone wrote this Yeah, red berries for like a West Coast That's wild Yeah I mean, look at this thing It's definitely like an unfiltered Westie Yeah It's a little foggy, but you can still kind of see it's- Right I can see my hand coming through, but- It's not hazy, right?

Exactly Not hazy On the Old Sniffer, the pine comes through Notice some of that juiciness like the peach It's a very interesting combination Well, that's another one The peach on a West Coast, that's what blew my mind Ooh, I'm liking the tongue dropper here Oh, wow This drinks, I think the best way to describe it would be like a juicy IPA You get the fruit and the juice There's that word again Take a shot And the juiciness of a hazy, but its finish is very dry and a little dank like

a Westie It's really like a best of both worlds situation What's the bitterness like on that? It's more bitter, obviously, than a hazy would be No IBUs are listed, so I don 't know the

official bitterness, but you're definitely getting it, especially on the back of the dryness and the dank, you get some of that bittering with it too But real, real crushable 666% 666, yeah Honestly, it drinks like a slightly hazy pale ale It's so easy to go down The dryness helps

397 for a West Coast on untapped That's basically like a five, right? The Hay es bros didn't shit all over That's, that's pretty gnarly Yeah So this is good I would definitely drink this again I was lucky enough They had this at TJ's, at Trader Joe's, no kidding Yeah Trader Joe's, they do a good job of two things One, having some local craft beer This is down in San Diego, so not too far from us And also my favorite thing is you can break apart the four and six packs all you want, and you can

just like grab one can and go, go buy it if you want to try some Okay See, our, our Trader Joe's, they don't, they have decent beer, but not good enough beer that would make me want to do that Oh, okay But their tortilla chips are the best

tortilla chips I've ever had in my life The blue corn? Yeah, no, not the blue corn It's like the white bag with the blue writing on it Oh, okay And they're like hint , not hint of lime, but they have some lime I don't know They're the fucking best The lime ones Yes So good Yeah Our Trader Joe's out here, they do a good job with the, the wine and the beer, having some local selections And, um, I always find, you know, Enneagrin

at, even though Enneagrin's just down the street from me, but like, you know, if I'm, I'm at the grocery store, Oh, I need a, it's just, it's fun to see And it's like, Oh, Hey, I haven't had that in a while Yeah, yeah, exactly Or like these guys, like fall will drop something and all of a sudden it shows up at Trader Joe's and low commitment, you know, like, you know, perfect example I'm going to talk a little bit of shit Brewery

X, Brewery X out here, they're the ones that like pretended to buy modern times

for five minutes and then backed out Okay Um, some of their beer is really good and some of it leaves a little to be desired It's so, their beers are so hit and miss Like I 'll have one where it's like, Oh my God, these guys fucking nailed it And then the next one's like, what happened here guys? Cause then it gets you excited to get that Yeah You

know? Right And it's like, you, you not only did you make this and then attempt to sell us, you spent the time and money to put this in a can You must've had a quota to beat Oh yeah 100% Yeah But the nice thing is they always have brewery X at TJ's so I can just get a can and it's not a big commitment So awesome Yeah What else I like about Harland?

I like their logo It's just a really neat looking H Yeah Erica has a hat and every time she posts it, I comment on it How much I like her hat You're, you're a hat guy I love hats, but I also refuse to buy like brewery hats of beer, like breweries I've ever had before Sure Same So I, I like the hat so much It's not like I can even go to like if they had like an online shop and be like, Hey Harlan, I like your hat I'm going to buy it Right But yeah, really cool logo Really cool hat It's

kind of like going, it's like buying a concert T for a concert you didn't go to Right You know, it's one thing to have a band T, but to have like something from that tour, you know, it's like a tour shirt for, yeah Union tour '04 Like, Oh, which one were you at?

Oh, none of them Yeah, girl Yeah No, I just like the shirt It's just cool Sure Never even seen them in live actually Yeah It's weird Super poser Right Exactly So anyways, uh, this one's delicious Conflict of interest Go find it It doesn't drink like a West I should have had my wife try this That's the ultimate test of, does it drink like a

Westie or not? Brad's sleeping right now I think so She's sleeping off that two beer buzz Yeah Nothing, nothing worse than having two Was this before the show or

during the show when I mentioned this? Uh, it was before the show Yeah We were flexing I were talking before we started rolling and I, my friend was in town and her kid was having his birthday You said best friend, best friend, best friend Okay She listened She needs to know She does need to know And, um, kid's birthday So he went over for a little bit before we recorded and did the worst thing ever as an adult, which is you have like two beers and

then stop drinking for a couple hours and just fucking fall asleep, man 99 It 's the, it's the absolute pits Yeah Didn't happen when I was 24 drink and stop and drink and stop And now that I'm 28, it's a real problem Oof Anywho A shout out to our top listening city last week, which was again, Pennington, New Jersey, man These New Jersey, New Jersey loves us Yeah Love the people Hate the laws Yeah Like guy's a dick Yeah

What's his name? Phil Fuck you Phil No, I don't like him so much I don't even remember his name Smart That was a smart way to do it Uh, all right I teased it before I created something for flex In fact, I was inspired by intern Brian to make this He

hit me up He has a couple of trillion beers that he got his hands on It was like, Hey, you, you

want me to save a can or two for you? And I was like, dude, that would be dope as fuck Thank you very much And I would love to share those with ridiculously expensive beers, by the way That's what started this And he goes, yeah, they don't quite fit the algorithm So I said, uh, less than $25 a four pack And I think one of them was like 28 and the other one was 31 for a four pack That's not far off from what they sell them

Yeah I mean, it seems like there's expensive no matter where you're like 24, 99, 25, 99, 27, 99 Yeah And so he, you know, he obviously said doesn't fit the algorithm We started with the algorithm I thought, I wonder if I can make a real algorithm So with a few hours of my time and some assistance from chat GPT, I made the flex Should I

buy this beer or not algorithm? It takes into account can art price and ABV, the three pillars of flexes algorithm So how do you do the can art again? Cause I did click on the link Okay So when you go to the link, so anyways, it's craft your pokecom/algorith m If you guys want to check it out, it's it's there, please check it out It's not on

the website Like you have to go to thatcom Oh, it's like a separate Okay It's it's hidden right now Cause I, it's still sort of in beta It's still kind of ugly I haven't made it look pretty yet, but the math is finally working It seems like, so you guys go check it out Let me know if it actually works Um, craft your boatcom/algorithm Anyways, you rate your beer, uh, on can art zero to one to 10, zero to 10, something like that And then

you put in what the price is for a four pack And if you only buy one can just multiply it by four, please don't make this harder on me And, uh, then you also put in what the ABV is And I've set up the algorithm in short, the artwork is worth up to 30 points The ABV is worth up to 30 points and the artwork, excuse me, the price is worth up to 40 points I put a little more weight on the price Cause I feel like you're a little more price heavy

I think that's exactly what I do So, uh, anyways, there's some math equations that happen behind the scenes when you put in your rating and your prices and your ABV and all that And then I, uh, had chat GPT make some images that based on whatever score you get, you get a very like Midwest slash Wisconsin image Like one of the, one of the ones I remember is like not good throw back in the old lake Um, another one is a not good enough

to put on my polka playlist That's super Midwest I forget what the good ones are I feel seen right now So anyways, uh, you get a little image and if you put in your email address, like it'll send you your, your score after the fact, and then I 'll spam the shit out of you for the rest of your life So, um, if you guys are bored, go check it out, craft your publiccom/algorithm and you can be in the store You can just be putting

in that shit and it would tell you right there is flex going to buy this or not So yeah,

it's good times Why should I worry about planning for my trip? Like my wife told me to when I could be making flexes algorithm once and for all, I think this is so genius and so brilliant And it's like, it's not even my birthday It's a late birthday present Like this is amazing And so after I came up with it, like I sent it back to interim, Brian was like, all right, this inspired me I said, go give it a try And he tried it He's basically my beta testers Like he goes, I would do this a little

differently And the math on this was kind of weird And so like, I totally reworked it again and we got it going a little bit better And so, yeah, it's good I'm so dumb Okay I just did the

current beer I'm doing now Oh, does it fit the algorithm? Um, I don't know Cause I lost it already Oh, found it Oh, okay Well, I guess I'll share it in a little bit Yeah It'll be fun Share a little bit when we talk about the beer So, uh, go check it out Anyways, speaking of beer, doing any, uh, good research lately Oh my God I'm trying to think, um, not too much research Okay But, uh, so there's a Thursday night football game on this past

week as most Thursdays are in the NFL season And I had no, I had no beer in

the house I've been trying really hard to control my urges God And I said, man, I really need some beer Uh, my local grocery store is terrible They have a terrible selection of beer, which is mind-blowing It's a bummer because other stores of the same company that I 've seen or worked at carry better selections So I'm not sure why this one is that store specifically,

right? It's just so like dwindled down, believe it or not, there was a 12 pack of hazy little thing Oh, it was on sale for like three bucks off the 12 pack What a really good, decent beer Like a French beer Yeah Yeah Yeah I mean, it's solid Like 100%

completely underrated I agree And, uh, that I had like five of them that night And I tell you what, it's like seven and a half percent No, it's 67 Okay But still, yeah, you have enough of those, right It'll add up Right And I tell you what, if I would've had a six, we might've had a little bit of an issue Um, but man, like they just go down so well Yeah, they really do That is, you know, out here it's a little more everywhere Cause

it's Sierra Nevada, California A lot of times when you go to like the bars that have a shit beer selection, the ones that used to at least have a Sierra Nevada pale on tap nowadays, they always have hazel thing on tap It seems like So that is a solid go-to for me I'll just be at some shitty bars Like, Oh, you got a hazel thing Yeah I'll drink the shit out of that That is nothing wrong with that beer And what kind of like what sparked my

mind like a thought in my mind was this beer tastes better than half of the beers that claim they're hazy IPA Yeah And they aren't Yeah It's true Like it is It 's that I don't want to say it is that good there I'll say it's that good It's an extremely solid, very able to be your go-to beer If you're at a place that doesn't have a great beer selection Um, yeah, there's nothing wrong with it I didn't feel bad about buying it either Like

a 12 pack craft beer, you know, it was like 1799 or something like that Right Yeah Less than two bucks a can Yeah Can't go wrong Yeah I will say I recently tried there I think it's called like cool little thing I don't know if you've seen those cans Orange can No, it was like blue and aqua I think I'd never seen it before I picked it up earlier this week and I thought, Oh, I like hazel thing Let's see if cool things good And

I thought it was gonna be a cold IPA It's not, it's just an IPA with all cryo and it's supposed to be hazy It was clear as fuck No And it just, it was fine It was

just nothing good I was like, man, really slapping a name on something and hoping that'll carry you Right So, I mean, so the orange can, I just remembered is juicy little thing Okay I have not had that one Uh, but they do have a cosmic everything I think it's called cosmic everything or cosmic little thing One of those sounds familiar ish It's a black can This is a newer variety for them Uh, that one to me is just like, uh, it's an IPA Okay

If you see, I think it's a pink can, a wild little thing That's a sour, right?

Yeah Yeah So that one's pretty All right That's a pretty great summer That is a pretty all right beer Yeah Like anytime we see that we're heading up to the Lake or we 're going to a pool party or something, a couple of sixers of those that was in their, uh , their Costco pack a couple of years ago It was, uh, the wild little thing, the hazy little thing And then the, uh, what's the nine and a half or, Oh, it's like double little thing

or some big, big, big little thing Hazy big thing or something Yeah Yeah And it had that in it So that's a good multi-pack It was a super solid multi-pack Yeah That's pretty solid I didn't hate it And my wife bought it for me too, which made it even better, right? It could have been garbage Like, honey, I love it Right I, you know, best beer I've ever had That's like when my mom bought me that beer for my birthday and a couple of

weeks later I saw her and she was like, Oh, how are those beers? So good I said, one was actually pretty decent And I said, and one was almost a year old and she was, you know, she was very apologetic about it And, uh, I said, look, I said to normal people, it's not like first thought to, Hey, check the born on date or check, you know, if it has a best by date Uh, but yeah, she was, uh, I let her off lightly Right No , people

don't know shit on the bottom of this can Like people aren't snobs Yeah The one I'm drinking is, uh, from August 6th Not bad Yeah I think, uh, let's see if this one has a, not the beer I'm drinking No date, maybe on a different can Oh, there you go But it's all small batch So, you know, it can't be too old Fingers crossed Well, speaking of small batch, speaking of the beer you're drinking, speaking of the algorithm , let's

fucking ask the question 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 In this world, we must find out what is flex drinking Okay So today as I need to clear my throat Uh, the cashmere sweater from 1840 brewing

company I'm hard I knew you would be Um, I had these guys, I don't know, a month or so ago with our anniversary IPA Yeah That was the seven hops for seven years So this is a double IPA Seven C's Yes, it was You're so smart Let me go What a memory Um, so this one is a double IPA It is hop bursted and then double dry hopped And it is all cashmere hops is hop bursted and double dry hop with Michigan grown Cashmere hops, hop bursting, or adding all hops after

the boil is a technique that maximizes hop flavor and aroma while adding little

bitterness I don't know It's raining hops here They, uh, recently added more hops to it So I'm on untapped This has 32 thousand or 32 Yeah A thousand That's how you say it Ratings 420 It's a banger Uh, the can says, look for notes of apricot, orange marmal ade, overripe melon and canned peaches Apricot We'll have that discussion another day So before I drink all this beer, cause I almost drank all of it already This color is phenomenal Oh yeah

It is pale straw yellow Um, it's hazy You can't see through it It's my special super bowl 31 glass Packers beat the Patriots, all the lacing I don't know if you could see all that lacing on there Very, very sexy, very sexy This beer, I've had it multiple times before And the reason I bought it is because 1840 recently started can ning their beers in the last, I'd say four or five months, maybe six months So they used to do the stubby

bottles, right? I like those things Super duper expensive per bottle I'm sure packs of cans way cheaper Oh, so we'll start here These bottles of cashmere sweater used to run like something like $10 a bottle Jesus for a 16 ounce bottle This four pack 1599 Okay Fucking steal Much better Um, so after those details, now we'll get more into this, the beer itself, right on the schnoz There's a wicked amount of Apricot, little bit of

that orange marmalade, but it's, it is a lot of that overpowering Apricot scent , which is delicious Yeah I can make a candle out of that Warm up the old tongue Jab ber Rooney or the zilgen Jabber Oh fuck I gotta get that ready All right, here we go Talk about getting ready So this beer is so stupid It really is the pillowy softness of this beer It's like a, it's a dream It's like not even real The carbonation is like low

to none, but it's just like just enough to like spritz on your tongue The Ap ricot is crazy present So much more of that orange marmalade comes through Um, not too much, a little bit of that melon, not too much of the peach, but this is just like a, it is a top notch beer Probably one of the best beers made in the state, if not the best beer

that's made year round And now that it's not $10 a bottle, right? I'm happy to say that it fits my algorithm So the can is orange It's my favorite color And the cashmere sweater logo is a play on Seinfeld Oh, I love it So if you see the, I don't know if you could see that right now Um, so it's just, it's simple It's fun Um, their logo itself is, it's like a turtle That's a barrel I don't know if you could see that there too Oh yeah

So it's just, uh, just a really simple, but well done can Um, I, so now we'll get into the algorithm, right? Yes, please Please So I rated this one to 10 can art I did it in eight Okay Right Cause it's nothing over the top It's just really well done It's, it's simple, but great The ABV is 8% so you can't go wrong, especially at a what

price? $1599 for the four pack So we're looking at a $4 can of beer The algorithm, which I don't know if I agree with this, Oh, a 7401 out of a hundred Okay So that's not terrible No, it's not terrible Right Um, I would probably consider it more of like an 80 out of 10 I don't know what would get that there Here's the thing with the algorithm You can't think of it like in the traditional, like ABCDF, you know, we're like 90 and above

as an A and 80 and above as B it's not quite the same So I think anything over an 85 gets you top marks Okay And then I think anything over 70 to 85 or 84 is, you know , next one down Okay Well I, either way I would say it's a passing grade Um, it said, uh, the picture was funny It said pretty darn fast DA and it just has a bunch of pictures of beer and cheese and there's a fork and I don't know This is fun Yeah I'd say people should

have a really good time with this Um, and then maybe rate the beer after as well Like say this one, you know, it was a 7401 out of a hundred Yeah I would probably do like a 90 out of a hundred after drinking it Like with how it tastes and whatnot That's a good idea to add to it I should put a thing in there for you to put what you think

it deserves out of a hundred versus the flex algorithm Yeah I like that idea And I don't think there's anything wrong with that because the algorithm essentially is grading or judging on if you should buy the beer Exactly Right It's not necessarily It's also based on Wisconsin pricing Wow I set the, here's what I did I set the baseline of a four pack at $16 Okay That's pretty legit Yeah I figured, you know, four bucks a beer, that's gotta

be pretty decently priced So if it goes lower than that, you know, if you're at 12 bucks a beer, high marks If you get into the twenties, you're dropping some points I think that works So I just did mine while you were talking I ran mine through the algorithm I don't remember the price I guessed at the price, but I got a decent, but won't make the poker

playlist at about 63 What was it? Oh, 6365 So a little low on the flex algorithm, but I, in my heart, it's a little higher Also $16 four packs are a little rare out here in California Right Right That makes a lot of sense Yeah But I still like it But hey, this was fun Yeah, it was good stuff I hope people have a fun time with it Go try the algorithm, everybody I'm going to do it on everything I'm going to bookmark it Also, this will be a good way to see who can spell or not Algorithm Craft

yRepubliccom/algorithm I nailed it Yeah Good job I always used to think there was a Y in algorithm is not everybody You would think there should be It seems like there should be Fun word, fun letter Exactly So, and since I didn't have this ready earlier, there it is Got it All right Before we get onto a little bit of news here, let's check in with the homie Hello No one is available to take your call Please leave a message after the

tone Yo, what's up homies? It's True Your Beer and yeah, I'm going to bring back the conversation of Taco Talk It's Taco Talk Wednesday So, you know, we have functions, we have birthday parties, hangouts or whatever And unfortunately, I'm always the fucking I'm the taco guy, homie I'm the one making the tacos I'm the making carne as ada Greg, you've seen it firsthand I'm the pozole guy So in my home, in my family, I'm the taco

guy And unfortunately, I'm sick and tired of being the fucking taco guy I want to hire a white guy I love white people food, man Just like how you go to a Mexican restaurant and you smell the spices and the music, the tequila, the Mexican beers, the s alsas, and it makes your mouth water I know it's making your water mouth water because it 's kind of making mine I want that My exotic food is white people food, man I think they call

that you walk into that restaurant There's no music It's bland Nice and quiet I don't have people yelling in the background Just quiet All you hear is utensils hitting their plates, sipping your wine That's what I want, homie I want that life, homie I want the white people guy I want that guy to come to my house and make me meatloaf, roast beef, lamb chops, stuffed cabbage, homie My neighbor's Polish and she brings me plates of stuffed

cabbage It's so delicious Some weird sausage link with sauerkraut What the fuck is sauerkraut?

I don't know, but it's good It's tangy and it's good I know it's cabbage It 's pickled cabbage I love kimchi, so fuck it Italian food, my bad That's like Mexican food, homie, without hot sauce Lasagna, we make lasagna We just call it enchilada cassero le, homie It's just a little spicy It's red sauce, cheese, meat, layered, homie, but we use tortillas instead of pasta We fuck it up We're big on Chef Boyardee fans over here, hom ie We

tear that shit up, homie Ravioli, homie Let's go If you got that white guy, people cart guy that can go to your house and make me that stuffed cabbage and that roast beef or that meatloaf or pot roast or what have you, homie, and that mashed potatoes out of an instant box, I want that I want that San Francisco street rice I want that one minute rice, that Uncle Ben rice, homie I don't want no Mexican fried rice anymore, homie I want that Uncle Ben, homie Give me some Uncle Ben I want to go to

your house for stovetop, Greg I want to go to your house, and then we're going to go to Flex's house so I can have it twice, just like in the commercials, homie We're having stov etop, homie Let's go All right, homies, let's chew your beer That was Taco Talk, more like white people talk I love white people food I have to watch old Pisani Maybe we should start like a white people food cart where we just do like smash burgers

and mashed potatoes Right I do like the meatloaf idea I love a good meatloaf Oh, it's so good Showing our whiteness right now, but meatloaf, if made well, not made by like your mom who can't cook for shit, but if it's made well, it is so good So my favorite meatloaf that my wife ever did, it was actually, so you know how usually covered

in like the ketchup sauce or like Worcestershire and ketchup She did it with a barbecue sauce instead of ketchup It was phenomenal So I've done two twists I've done the barbecue, loved it So good I've also done it with sriracha Interesting Was it too hot

? I mean, my spice tolerance is through the roof So like to me, sriracha is not spicy Oh, it's really hot to me It's like, you know, it's got, it's like mild salsa to me S riracha like it's not that much I can pile it on Um, I like that one time the wife and I got creative and we made a bacon wrapped meatloaf Hey, I, I have seen that Yeah, it was pretty

fun Good Not gonna lie How'd you get the bacon crispy around that? So that's where we fucked up Like we were like, Oh, we'll just like lattice the bacon and then put the meat in there and then shove it in the oven Right? Well, the problem was the meat drippings

kept the bacon a little bit on crispy Right? And so afterwards we were like, fuck, it's still kind of soggy So we just heat up a pan and like plopped it out of the loaf pan and put it right on top to crisp up the bottom Okay Not how I intended on doing it, but it worked I wonder, by the way, I wonder if the weird sausage link he was talking about was just like a brat because that's usually like here in Wisconsin you have a brat you

like top of a sauerkraut So right, exactly I was a little sour Okay, here's my weird thing I like my brats with barbecue sauce I don't hate that I don't hate it I feel so weird and like naughty when I do it Cause I'm like, this is, I think I, any German is like about ready to stab me Well, that's like how you're not supposed to put ketchup on a hamburger technically, but I fucking love ketchup on a hamburger Oh, I don't do

ketchup anymore I kinda not a ketchup fan really Ketchup on hamburgers It's different for me Like I don't even eat, I don't even need ketchup for my French fries Nope Ranch ranch or barbecue sauce So, but something about burgers and ketchup, it just goes so well Oh, something about barbecue sauce and brats I fucking love it So at the shop we do actually honey barbecue brats Oh, I'm in So it's like the seasoning is already

in there It smells just like barbecue sauce They're fucking delicious Can I, can I pitch something for the shop? What? Hot honey barbecue brat That would be great, but hot honey is so expensive Oh, is it? Oh, have you not looked at like, what is it? There's that like Mike's hot honey or something like that I never buy that shit Oh, it's in the store It's like $1499 for like a six ounce jar Oh, can you just make your own? Just make,

get like honey and then put shit in it I don't know Can you? Oh, I have five What? How do you think Mike made it? He just bought honey and man put shit in and made it hot I don't know We could look into it Yeah Not a bad one I'm flying out there for that You let me know I'm flying out there We got the taco rats We got the honey barbecue

We got the jalapeno cheddar Okay Taco Is that just taco seasoning? Um, they do the pimentos, they do the black olives We got shredded cheddar cheese in there A couple other fixings That sounds more like an inch It's like a taco dip brought Yeah That's a seven layer dip brought Yeah Yeah But super good Super popular All right That's good Yeah That's like the whitest taco thing I've ever heard Black olives Why you gotta

racist? It would be weird if they were green olives That would be a little weird Yeah Very Martini ask So, Hey Chu, I'm in man You want me to come over and make some fucking hamburgers and mashed potatoes Let's do this Flex Come on out Let's go cook I would put the mashed potatoes on my hamburger No joke I mean, growing up, my favorite thing as a kid, I'm, you know, everywhere else, I think it's called shepherd's pie, but my

mom always called it mashed potato pie It's just, you know, ground beef, vegetables, and then mashed potatoes Isn't shepherd's pie like actually in like a pastry crust though?

Or like, Oh, maybe this was not in a pastry crust Oh, that's not shepherd's pie All right It's gotta be the whitest fucking food ever I'm sure Chewwould jizz himself, but so fucking honky But, uh, dude, as a kid, that was like my, that was my jam I loved it Still like it I mean, I eat everything Like when I was a kid, I would, I can use kept like a mashed potato as a condiment Fuck Yes So like if my mom made chicken for dinner, I would cut up the chicken and scoop my mashed potatoes up with my

bit of chicken and then eat it Yeah Um, pork chops, you know, whatever she made, it was just fucking dipped into the mashed potatoes And then the first time I went to Mexico, I was so afraid of eating and water and all of that Right Cause you know, I was 21 and I had no fucking clue Well, and we're all told like, do not drink the water You will die So the resort we were at, you know, they had a lunch buffet So my lunch and dinner for

like three straight days consisted of French fries and mashed potatoes And I would dip my French fries in the mash potatoes and eat them like that It's like almost cannibalism Oh, I fucking love potatoes I love taters I would put mashed potatoes on a baked potato and top it with French fries and eat the shit out of that Yeah That doesn't sound bad It doesn't sound bad at all White as fuck, but it sounds pretty good All right If you

guys got some taco and or super white people food shit to call in about, or Hey , we're a beer show calling about beer, 805-538-beer-2337 What do you think the whit est person food is? I don't know I thought mashed potato pie was pretty fucking white Um, I mean hamburgers and hot dogs to me are just white as fuck The first thing that crossed my mind

was hot dogs Yeah And like, not even like grilling I really just like put it in the microwave for 20 seconds Oh, I know Like as a kid, I did that all the time That is the whitest shit to do So gross And like when, uh, my mom started boiling hot dogs when we were kids, that was like mind blowing how much you can cook, how much better the hot dogs were boiled for a couple of minutes than they were in the microwave And it made him feel

a grilled one, right? That's 100% accurate Yeah Like forever Dodger dog First of all, I love all the old people They're like, Oh, Dodger dogs are the best It's like Dodger dogs are fucking garbage As a Dodger fan I've said this before, fucking garbage are their Dodger dogs And for years and years and years, it was all boiled hot dogs, which doesn't do them any favors Finally, they started grilling them, but only at specific

locations in the stadium Come on So like, you'd have like Dodger dog sign And then the next one would be like Dodger dog grilled, like with the grilled over the Dodger It's like, why don't we fucking grill them all? Who's going to choose boiled? What the fuck

is wrong with you? You have it grilled or boiled You're like, I'm going to go with a boiled I like my dog dipped in water Maybe the boiled will reach somebody's nostalgia like mine I don't know Maybe Sorry Sorry to shit on your hot dog nostalgia, but I just, it's not for me I need nothing beats a grilled hot dog Yeah It's the way it 's the way to go So Dodgers get rid of the fucking boiled selection over there Jesus Christ The only

way to eat a Dodger dog though, is to get one of the bacon wrapped ones

Because like I said before, Dr Dogs are garbage It's not good Hot covered in bacon Yeah Covered in bacon to make it edible Like Costco hot dogs are better than Dodger dogs They're just not good Hot dogs I said it Okay There it is All right Let's do a little news quick Uh, first we've got a little news flight We haven't, uh, gotten the paddles out in a while He's flat lining Oh, I feel better Uh, till Ray, who has

purchased a bunch of shit from Coors has closed Bunch of shit has closed on hop Valley brewing Terrapin beer Co and revolver brewing So three of the four they were going for, they have now officially closed on What was that first one at hop Valley? Hop Valley H O P Not very good You know, it's, yeah I had him at a baseball game once in Denver I was at,

uh, was that Coors stadium? Like bubble stash Right I don't know, but I was like, Oh, I've never heard of this hop Valley before So I grabbed one, not knowing that it wasn't craft and not knowing what it was either I was like, Oh, this is not that great No, not that great And I looked it up later I was like, Oh, it's not even craft So fine Firestone Walker is releasing, you know, we have eight Oh five I heard like

one of the biggest craft beers in California Right now they're releasing eight zero five, which is the N a version of eight Oh five Oh, hard pass Let me launch in 12 ounce can six packs in California, Arizona, and Nevada So you know where to not buy those launch them in gallon jugs for fuck's sake There's 0% Right Why do you need to have small little cans?

Good Lord Put it in your faucet Not going to get drunk Waste of time Waste of fucking and more than a waste of time Waste of calories Waste of carbs Waste of paying somebody to brew it Yeah Just a complete waste Yeah You don't want to drink alcohol Go grab a fucking LaCroix or some shit That's some age, man Yeah Some big breaking news in

the craft world craft Ohana, which is the owner of modern times is closing their production facility and they're going to move all modern times production over to Alesmith and they'll be cutting about 57 jobs This was, I could read all the details, but that's the bulk of it They're, they're closing down the modern times production facility They 're closing down the attached tap room The other open tap rooms are going to stay open at least

for now and all con all brewing is going to be contracted at Alesmith Alesmith is a great facility They're contract for a ton of people That's not the weird part The weird part is I thought part of why Maui brewing wanted to buy modern times was so they could brew stateside and not have to worry about the shipping Yeah, I know that was a yeah Weird Yeah So anyways, a normal point Loma location This article did go on to say that Maui has

been brewing at the Colorado based Avery brewing facility for their stateside offerings So I guess modern times just wasn't ever able to get shit going I don't know It 's weird That is really weird Yeah So, uh, more bad news for modern times in more bad

craft news, weathered souls, which is the brewery behind the black is beautiful stout that came out a few years ago Uh, they have announced they'll be closing They posted on the gram It's hard to believe we're saying this, but after eight unforgettable years, weather ed souls will be closing its doors on September 22nd, but don't worry This isn't good This isn't a goodbye filled with sadness Instead It's a celebration of everything we've accomplished

together They went on to say more, but I have to say, I'm not terribly surprised I know one of their big investors left or was trying to sell his part of it Um, and then Marcus who's the head brewer slash other investor was sort of on his way out the door too So, uh, not a huge surprise This is happening, but more, uh, more sad news in the craft world California is closing the door on hemp derived THC products And this means

beverages and other things This does not mean gummies and whatever things you can get at like a marrow Joanna dispensary This is like the weird loophole where like some things could have a enough THC and to get you a little bit high, like legit THC or like the Delta shit, the Delta shit Okay Which apparently still a THC in it Um, citing concerns over public health, California governor Gavin Newsom proposed heavy restrictions last Friday on quote intoxicating

hemp products I'm like an old white guy through an emergency regulation News om proposed removing food and beverage products containing hemp extract from stores within the golden state He said in a press release, we will not sit on our hands as drug peddlers target our children with dangerous and unregulated hemp products containing THC at our retail stores Say what you want about weed I don't think it's dangerous No, especially when you're still selling alcohol

Exactly I mean, come on now And, and things that are full of high fructose corn syrup and whatever Right But Hey, this, this little trace of THC that might get you a little high This is dangerous He goes on to say, we're taking action to close loopholes and increase enforcement to prevent children from accessing these dangerous hemp and cannabis products

Did he say that right before he went to eat his boiled hot dogs? Yeah And drink is fucking Coke with high fructose corn syrup and die number 86 or whatever's in there The executive order puts a very stringent regulations on hemp derived THC products, including Delta eight and Delta nine tetra hydro cannabinoid along with 30 new cannabinoids added to the state's list To me, this feels like, Hey, there's an election year coming up

would you outlaw it if it's an election year, especially in California? I don't know Some fucking mom groups got up his ass And so here he is outlawing shit Like I said, it's not like the big things like you want to go buy some weed gummies from the weed store You're good It's just all like the knockoff weed products Okay Yeah Really interesting When I first saw it, I was like, not my gummies Like with our trip coming up Mama said life

Shoot You know, gun Yeah Okay That's what I thought you said Just want to make sure Fuck the headline really covers this But, uh, the incident occurred Sunday in the land, about 40 miles North of Orlando where 38 year old Alex Kudleck fired multiple shots that struck a neighboring mobile home and a fence surrounding it According to the Volusia County Sheriff's office, the

family inside the home, three adults, a seven year old and an infant had to take cover and call 9-1-1 Deputies got on the scene, evacuated the family from the house and started searching the area That's when they found Kudleck, an intoxicated neighbor on nearby Virginia Avenue who was shooting at a tree in his backyard Three shots went off And then within seconds, another 10 went off The window above my head was shattered Salvador Soteo told the West

TV I was holding my newborn son basically like a football When I came out the I called 9-1-1 and as I'm on the phone, I hear more shots By the time they got here, the officer heard another, another three shots Another resident said when asked why he decided to shoot the tree, Kudleck told deputies, I'm a dumb ass Come on Kudleck was being held on $17,000 bond is facing charges of shooting into a dwelling using a firearm firearm

while under the influence, child endangerment and criminal mischief What do people think?

Well, he's a dumb ass He doesn't think It blows my mind Yeah Oh, Hey, I'm going to shoot at that tree Here's the best part I watched the body cam footage for the show and I know what you're thinking You're thinking this dude is shooting at some giant Oak tree Yes That's exactly what crossed my mind Not in the slightest This thing was young and new and like three inches across It was a tiny fucking tree that he was shooting at

Of course he was missing and hitting someone's house She wasn't even a real fucking tree Jeez Oh, this is very Florida Yeah That's dumb ass thing Very such a fucking dumb I did see one of the Florida reports that came out from after this weekend or last weekend and it said Florida man scores touchdown after being arrested before game Oh yeah And I just thought that was really funny That was, um, Tyreek, right?
