Ladies, and gentlemen, I am well kind of, but hey, I feel a lot better than I did last week as far as my voice is concerned. Oh. Here we are to keep you nice, warm and cozy. We understand that's half the well majority of the country is, you know, trying to find heat and stay warm, and that's why we're here to help
you feel cozy. I'm James, That's Chad, and welcome to What's on Tap Radio. Hey, you saw how I hit that post. Because I've been doing radio for over fifteen years, folks, James, I gotta tell you I had I had people asking me when I was on first Mic last week and Harbor Light Bill was on second Mike, like, what happened to James? Happened my voice? I mean, I'm still here? Well, no, they didn't. And then, of course you were the intern last
week. Yes, yes, I went back to my guys. I went back to my old roots, my old feel fine, but I'm still going through puberty. Fun fact about me before we get to the fun fact next semes, next next period. My old When I first got into radio. For the first two years I was in radio, I went by intern James. That was my radio name. And then as I was not an intern anymore, I mean graduated college, So I guess I could drop that intern and it'd be sounded weird if I was like forty three years old. Game.
Hey, it's in turn, James. You're like, okay, welcome to the show. On the show, I'm just talking a lot because I couldn't talk much last week, so I'm kind of all right, all right, I'm gonna sit back and coast. I'm just gonna drink beer. Let you run the show before we do anything. You better, you better forget rule number one. Thank the people that brought you to the dance. I turned my phone off. First's rule number one. But yeah, yeah,
Chad's right. Uh, let's think our one to filve advertisers about them, we wouldn't be here that being Tedtrick Brewing, Superior, Pest Control, your logic conference in Vince Renaldo, Tenek Insurance Group, the back of the grill, keeping our lights on, which if you noticed my studio, your chad very nicely brightened here, Harbor Light Brewing Company, and of course sponsoring our podcast cast branding. So somehow I got a three hundred dollars electric bill last
month. I don't know what was running that long. Probably an electric space eater because it's so cold in Michigan. Harb Lightbrary helping us out with the summer electric bill for me. Wow, that's a lot crazy. All right, Well, James, we you said that you got a message from a listener this week thinking that dry January was a figment of our imagination. No, they thought we made it up. And yeah, he was like, hey, I've heard you talk about it, but I've never heard it before.
What the hell is that? And this they thought it was a bit that we made up, And then no, this is actually we'll think dry January is a real thing. It's when people take a break from alcohol for the month of January. Now doesn't mean they're, you know, going completely sober for the entire year. They're just taking a month off to kind of detox, you know, give your body a break and after New Years. Yeah, that's what I'm doing. That's what I'm doing now. I'm kind
of dry ert January. Now I'm still on the show bringing in a beers. But am I kicking around with my buddies drinking in a beers when we're not on the show. No, I'll probably bring drinking some other beers as well. But you know, just oh wait a minute, so you're the kid rock of non alcoholic beer. You swore off the bud light and then you got photographed drinking a bud Light. That's an old pisure that's from last year. But all right, James, well we got to get to it
though. To be honest with you, I haven't drink any alcohol since December thirty first. But I'm just saying that if I want to partake in a beer, I don't know week. Yeah, I love it. I love it. Dude, You're like, I am, I am not. I'm going to commit to not commit. All right, there you go. It's like to get gym membership, you know. First segment here, folks, we got to start drinking. Brought to the table. That's where James brings

Check out byg the Backyard Grill dot com on the northwest side of Houston. Now, James, it is dry January, and it really is a thing. You've been bringing non alcoholic beers to the show. You want to go ahead and do the honors. I am going to
do the honors. So this week this is a listener suggestion, and so of course when the listeners suggest something, I'm gonna do my best to see if I can bring this show. And I did. And now I have tried this beer. I tried this the other day and it's really good. So I'm bringing it for the first time in the history of this show, a beer that we spoke about when it first released the last year. But this is the Samuel Adams just the haze in a IPA. So let me
go and crack this. Now that beer, I don't know if we're gonna I don't know if that one made it. Yeah, so you got the sam Adams Boston lagger Glass. This is a non alcoholic hazy IPA. So James has that in the exquisite Samuel Adams Boston lagger Glass, which everything better. I think that appearance. Nice head on there, nice golden haze. I don't see any alcohol in that, James. You can't see alcohol. It's an illusion, all right, James, takes a zip and it is
really really good, very delicious tropical notes. But I will break this down next segments. I gotta open my but I have to have time for Chad crack Oop minus beer. But again from a listener suggestion, this is the Samuel Adams just the Hayes Hazy, juicy and refreshing, non alcoholic India plal all right, well in studio with me right now, in my hands is
one of the most award winning beers in the history of brewing. This is a fine pilsner beer brewed with the highest quality ingredients using the choice hops from the Pacific north West as well as noble sas hops, and delivers more taste and aroma and color with only one more calorie than michelob Ultra. I give you the fine pilsner beer Miller Lite. And this was dropped off by Stunt Beer Liver in studio with me right now, neighbor John, all right,
middle light. I think this is the first time in the history of the show we've been on almost eleven years, folks, that we brought a Miller Lite two brought to the table, no, not to not to the table. We've had it on the show. Got excuse me, had it on for brought the table mm hmm ye, and what I taste is gold medal awards and the most award winning UH American Premium pillsner UH in the in the world. Yeah. Oh, even on the label it even says brewed with

Brought to you by friends at the Backyard Grill on the northwest side of Houston, where I brought a fine pilsner beer Miller Lite and James brought the Samuel Adams just to Hate hazy, juicy, refreshing non alcoholic IPA for dry January. So that has brought table. All right, we got to take a quick break. Coming up. We got a lot on the show this week, including no beer was safe inside Arrowhead Stadium. We'll talk about that, and a new zero
percent alcohol white Claw is getting a beating online. We'll explain that. Oh, this is so much more. Hang with us. We got an action back show. We'll be right back. Beer has hops, hops or plants. Plants make salad, so beer is salad. Yeah. What's on tap radio? James and Chad talking about beer at a time when every tap and every bar served the same mass produced light logger, so it's Kraft beer bars

Hope you're staying war It's really cold out there. And I was telling the chat off the air that not to be the get off the long guy or yelling at cloud guy. But I really hate winter, really do. I am not a fan. It's not cool, James. I don't even want to hear about it. Because you guys got
a little ice and had to close down. We've had feet. Yeah, I know that different parts we live in this this is this is what we should expect in Michigan. But I was telling you in studio with me stunt beer liver, neighbor John helping me get through some beers here, and I got the old snow thrower out. And I know if you guys follow us on our social media at What's on Tap Radio, But on the Facebook, I put on the end, as I said, the Facebook, that's how
old I am. On the old Facebook. There, I put a video of me snow plowing and that was my road and my driveway. But I actually had to put in a path to neighbor John's house because we couldn't we couldn't hang out and drink beer because the snow was too deep. I had to take the snow through or right through the lawn and just and if I get a chance, I'll post a picture on our socials. I'd show you
the path. Those diehard Bill's Mafia fans, you know, they wanted to they wanted to watch the game, but they had to dig their own seats out of the snow. Did you hear it for the first time? And I mean, you know, they were drinking plenty of beer before the game, and they were drinking everything they could inside the game. And I think we got a story coming up about beer at arrow Head Stadium where no beer
was saved. But apparently for the first time in modern era, at Bill's Stadium, if you could get in and find a spot, it was yours. There. They did no tickets because all the seats in the rows were covered in snow. They couldn't they couldn't tell what row and seat they were in. So they basically said, when you're in, just get in, find a spot to stand, and that's your spot where you're basically working for
your seats. How hard did you want to work for your seat? If you saw a seat not maybe in section one oh one that was completely under snow. How bad do you want those seats? And if it's a thank you, you know an hour to no see, damn what you've earned it. Yeah, they were even paying people to show up. They're paying them twenty bucks an hour to shovel. And I was like, this is stupid. We can't get enough people. Anyways, I want to reset the brought
to the table sposorby friends over the backyard grill. I kicked it off with you know, I'm continue dry January, which no, we did not make this up. I had a listener reach out to us, going thinking that we made it up, but no, it's an actual thing. And then I and then I had other listeners going, why James, But I'm doing it just to kind of reset. You know, my body, I ate like crap during the holidays, ate a lot of oysters. My liver enzymes
probably not the greatest. To see you got a liver down there that's tapping out. It's like, yeah, raff, I'm tapping out. Come on mirr that white flag in So I was like, you know what, I want to give it a break for a month. And so I've been bringing these in a beer so I'm continuing it off with the Samuel Adams just the haze, hazy, juicy and refreshing, non alcoholic IPAs is a listener suggestion. Good listeners, did you yes? And so let me go ahead take
a sip of this. Tell you what I'm tasting. Mm hmmm. It's a good beer that always hits the spot, but you always went the buzz Chad. So they made a world class IPA just happens to be non alcoholic, and so they removed the alcohol slow and gently, saving all the flavor for you. This is all I get from when I taste it out of the same Atoms glass chat. So if you rotate in this hazy, hoppy, non oclock, I pa, it's a it's a purely just making your
days and nights and all every cheers in between a delight. And again this is the same al Atoms, just the haze, hazy, juicy and refreshing, but definitely some notes of pineapple. I like how you can taste the amazing detail that you just described. Well, it's only because I'm drinking out of the same Adams Boston Logger glass. If I was drinking out of in your order a pine glass, I wouldn't be able to taste any of that. All right, But here's what I want to know, and I'm serious
here. If there's somebody who can laying this one to me, I'm all ears. Tell me. You're gonna tell me that the alcohol was removed slow and gently, yes, as opposed to what like violent, hard and angry with with with with force. You're speaking very nicely to it. You're beautiful alcohol, cause hey, you know what it was like, Mike with the bear. Come on now, you gotta get out of here, all right, No more violence, no violence, Chad? All right, how's that
mineral light tret you? Oh? The Miller light? Hey, tastes like an award winner since say, eighteen fifty five. Miller's been around, No, not Miller. Now the official What's on TEP Radio Fun fact of the week, brought to you by Who's ever checked clear? This week? Sorry, Chad to cut you off, but we got get some fun facts in. And now, just by the way, I'm just gonna I'm still trying to get those beer mints, Miller Lite. If you're listening, I was
just gonna say, dude, go back to interning. You cut me off. Hit the button too soon? Well, I had to do it because I'm looking at the time and the producer. Now, we're fine, we're fine. Out of time? Is I got the fun fact? I had first Mike last week? Listen. I took the car out, I brought it back, parked in the garage, full tank of gas. We were ready to go this week, and there were no scratches on her. So we did all right. Dad was happy. But it does taste like it's
triple hot brood. I'm just gonna say. Also, it tastes like a fake marketing campaign where you'll never see those mints. All right, this is your official What's on Tap Radio fun Fact of the Week, brought to you by Oh wait, we don't have that, okay, because we don't have a sponsor for this yet. All right, but it could be you. All right. It is ice cold out there, James, and I mean it is ice freaking cold. We've got ice shutting down the South. We've
got ice and snow and winter advisories all over the place. Beers are no longer safe at football stadiums. Heck, we've got schools being closed, We've got cars in the ditches. But who do we have to blame for all of this nasty weather justin Stapleton. There's our first get that name drop, that's our first drop KPRC Channel two weather man here on our local Channel two TV station. I don't know if we can mention what he said on air. Well he said it on air. We can say it. Can't we
say what what he said on air? If it gets too cold? Oh yeah, he was talking about the people tail getting at the national football game. That was that energy. And he was like, look, I think he just lost his train of thought. And he basically was just like, look, guys, if you're cold, just go inside the stadium, drinks some beer. Right on air, Right, that's great advice from your weather man. Yeah, he doesn't. Most weathermen will tell you stay out of
the elements. Bundle up, you know, make sure you stay out of the wind, you know, dressing layers stabled and says, go get inside and get a beer. It'll warm me up. I love it all right. No, Actually, I don't know who we can blame mother Nature. Well, I wanted to tell you about a man by the name of John Gory who was a doctor and a humanitarian, and he was the inventor of ice cubes. Yes, really invented ice cubes. Yes, that's a good
day ice cube. No, not that guy, not that guy. No, no, no, no, he's not like the great great great grandfather of rapper ice cube. No, he is just the inventor of ice cubes. Now. He died in eighteen fifty five, and it's sad to note that when he died, he died alone, sickly, broke and beaten because he spent his whole life trying to make refrigerant and refrigeration a success and air conditioning a success, something neighbor John would really appreciate knowing. But he just
couldn't. He couldn't do it financially, and so he lost his entire fortune. But he spawned the innovation for refrigeration, which was very beneficial to breweries. So your official What's on TEP Radio fun fact of the week is which brewery was the first brewery to adopt commercial refrigeration here in the United States, And that would be Liebman's Sons and Brewery in Brooklyn, New York. They were the first commercial refrigerant using brewery in the US in eighteen seventy, some
fifteen years after John Gory invented ice cubes. Now fast forward, go all the way to September of twenty twenty three. You may be thinking, you don't like ice in your beer. Nobody drinks beer and ice cubes. Well, they do in Laos, and they do in Thailand. And then Heineken invented star shaped frozen beer ice cubes to sell in Thailand and Laos to embrace
the ice cube beer culture. So your official What's on Tap Radio fun facts of the week, Or that John Gory invented the ice cubes and the first commercial brewery to use commercial refrigeration was Liebman and Sons Brewery in Brooklyn, New York in eighteen seventy, fifteen years after Gory died. And in twenty twenty three, Heineken made the very first beer ice cubes for Thailand and Laos. So those are your official What's on Tap Radio fun facts of the week.
That was interesting, How do you die alone? That's sad. The guy who vent at ice cubes, come on now, ran out of money and nobody his personality was far less interesting when he was broken. His friends were like, yeah, we liked him when he was rich. All right, we gotta take a break. Coming up we're gonna talk about this zero percent white claw that's getting up beating rightfully, so all so much more hang with us. We'll right back. Yeah, we drink water, but it has
to be filtered through a brewery first. You've got what's on tap radio? All right, on tap this week, got a lot going on. We're gonna talk about how no beer was safe inside Arrowhead Stadium. We'll talk about there's this new zero percent ABV white claw that's getting up beating online rightfully. So, Hey, the Olympics. We talked about the Olympics and all. This is so much more coming up. But Chad John's got a stunt beer
liver in studio. Yes, John his neighbor who had, you know, basically dig a trench so John can walk over from his house otherwise, Uh, you know, true story. I don't make that absolutely okay, dry January real thing, not a made up holiday. It's holiday. We didn't make it up. Even though a listener had never heard of it before and so they thought it was just a bit that we did on the show.
No, no, no, you actually go look it's wild. James is yeah, drinking non alcoholic beer for January, bringing it to the show. I brought a stunt beer liver. They were John. But in order to do that, I had to take a snow thrower and go a snow throw No, this is not like a snowblower. This thing throws. I mean this thing will throw snow. It is. It chucks it. Yeah, if you if you don't know what you're doing, you will actually put out windows if you catch something. It throws snow that hard. You do not
want to get hit. It throws it. Man, And I had to cut a path, and I mean it's it's I mean it's probably knee deep anyway out there walking across. And I'm like, I can't go hang out with neighbor John and drink a beer. This sucks. I trapes all the way out to the barn. I open it up, and I plow a path all the way down to the road, and I plow a path through my yard, and then I go right up to John's deck and I plow
a path all the way over to my deck. And it's like, now, whenever he wants to come over and drink a beer, he can come over and drink a beer, or I can go over there. So chat I got an observation. Okay, so normally I get lots of people. Hit me up. Hey, you know, James, if you need a stun beer deliver to hang out with you at stud us, hit me up. You know, I'd love to come hang out. I've not gotten one email since we've kicked off try. I had message from anybody wants to come
and drink down alcohol beer. One person has volunteered to come hang out with me in studios since I've now said I'm for taking in dry January here on the show. It's just an observation there, Chad John Well, my stunt beer liver and I've we've crushed through the fine pills neer Miller Lite and it's time to move on to our next beer. And this is another award winning beer. As I mentioned before earlier in the show, Miller Lite is the
most awarded light beer in the world. Well, this is another award winning beer. And it might even be oh oh, do you think you know what it is? It is not mgd's not Miller Genuine Draft. No, this one's been awarded more awards, I believe in this one category than any other beer in the world. And that category is the commercials ladies and gentlemen, we are cracking open from the land of sky Blue waters Hams, who
actually was nominated for an Emmy in nineteen fifty six for their commercials. I know you're sitting there like what, yes, and I was trying to hold it in. God Handle Beer has won more awards for their commercials than they have for the liquid itself. There got another observation there, folks. Here's observation number two. Chad has been snowed in for so long that he has
now gone to his crisper drawer to bring beers to the show. And if you don't know what the chrisper drawer is, that's basically, when we don't have enough room on our beer's shelf and our beer fridge, we'll put beers that we don't drink into the crisper drawer, basically where beers go to die. So Chad has basically gone through all those beers and now has resulted in going to the crisper drawer and now he's bringing those beers to the show.
Is that observation correct, Chad? I thought so. I thought I'd like to I'd like to tell you that is correct. But the last time I had Harbor Light Bill on the show. He used a Chrisper beer to rinse out the glasses from a beer that we hated so much, and then we just went and dumped it in. But believe it or not, I picked up a thirty pack of this hams Or eight ninety nine for fourteen dollars. It's less than fifty cents. A can come here you're broke without telling me
you're broke. Wow, I'm just saying, all right, well, I can tell you who's not broke if you really want to know. Oh. Anheuser Busch and the Olympics. Yeah, the International Olympic Committee. They're doing something they've never done before. They have signed their very first beer brand in
the forty year history of sponsorships. It's the first time that the International Olympic Committee has had a at a beer sponsor and ABM BEV coming to the deal or bellying up and they are voting and throwing billions of dollars at the organization. And the deal was announced by the IOC, that's the International Olympic Competity Committee and Anheuser Busch IMBEV. And of course they're going to be promoting all their favorite brands Budweiser, Corona, michelo. Oh wait, Mayor do we
have we got a new mayor, so I'd retired a sound bite. We had to retire that SoundBite. Dang it, Okay michelob or Mitchel, Yeah, it's true. Yeah, and Medello and so for the next three summer and Winter Games and the Paris Olympics are going to open up on July twenty sixth, and the deal includes the twenty twenty six Winter Games in Northern Italy and then the La Olympics in twenty twenty eight. The value of the deal not disclosed. I wonder why. Probably has something to do with the fact
that that what is it, Qatar cutter cutter. Yeah, with the World Cup, they renegged on that deal and said Budweiser could have the deal, and they talked about how much that was worth, and maybe they didn't want to talk about how much they lost on this one, but they It said that some of the sponsors pay more than three hundred million dollars to be the top Olympic partner program for a four year commercial cycle, so likely in the
three hundred million dollar range. But the IOC bringing in their first beer brand is a global sponsor for the Olympics, so that's you can. And as long as it's not held in one of the fourteen countries that ban alcohol like Cutter Katar, you should be able to drink these fine Anheizer Bush products if you get tickets to the Olympic Games. And obviously I'm gonna want to know how much they made on this deal, but I don't think it's been disclosed
yet. No, no, no, it's not. But there's again they're saying it's gonna that that probably there's a check written for about three hundred million. That's wild, all right, you know it's a lost art writing slowly and gently removing alcohol from beer. That too. I no writing comments when people checking beers on the untapped app, but I'll scroll because I wanted to check in this. Samuel Addin was just the haze, hazy, juicy, refreshing nine o'clock, I pa, and so I started scrolling down. I
was like, how come no one wrote any comments? And I do came across one, so I wanted to read it. It says I have tried many inn A beers, I think this one is the best. Naipa is typically need more body and can have too strong of a hot punch. Sam has done a good job, given this some good mouth feeling, a balance hoppy profile. Good job, Jim. Was that written by our putties Brian
Holsen a little sweeter than a normal I PA? But yeah, I'm just going through the untapped app just seeing what people said about it, and apparently not a lot of people. I mean people were giving it four out of five. Not astadgist, but I guess they're badges. But yeah, uh but I like it. I'm a big fan of it. But if you're a fan of it and you have a wife that's per pregnant, you might want to listen it up to this promotion that Sam Adams is doing. Check
this out. Now, this was not me, nor could I ever partake in this. But I'm not like I'm having kids. But if I would have rewound the time, I still wouldn't have done it. But hey, this could be you, all right. So it's called do date, brew date, Do date date, brew date, do date brew date? All right, So pregnant, you gotta due date mm hmm. So they're doing
a contest for expecting couples. So Samuel Adams will send five lucky people a forty week supply of just the haze non ocalad IPAs but it like I'm drinking to reward them for giving up alcohol to support of their pregnant partner, the company announced in the release. So the contest dubbed du Date Brew Date will throw a n a six pack of Sam Adams Boston Lagger for making it to the end. Oh and to celebrate that new addition to your family, of
course and UH. To enter, simply go to Samuel Adams Do Date,

So, if your significant other is pregnant and you want to you know, staying from alcohol like your partner, you can enter this contest and they'll send you a gift card to go out and buy just to haze Samuel Adams, I call ipa support. Now I could have done that because I took advantage of My wife was pregnan out a nine month DD and I was designated. My wife's just like driving like I hate you, hate you, hate you, so so do dey brew day. Sam Adams wants to give nine
months supply of NA be ers to ex inspecting couples. That's so sexist, James. I'm just saying, you know, let's let's go out and support and the You know what, honey, if you can't drink, I'm not gonna drink either. So I'm gonna drink this in a beer. Thank you, Sam Adams. All right, all right, all right, we gotta take a break. When we come back, we're gonna talk about Arrowhead Stadium, the NFL. It's so cold out there. What does that mean for
your beer? Well? Beer? What saying? Maybe people going around stealing people's beers. We'll talk about it all this so much more beer. It's like pouring smiles on your brain. What's on tap? Radio continues Hand me down a road that's a little bery to a place they still put sugar in their eyes. Women are fine in the levees, right this show what's on tap Radio? Just consuming my non alcoholic Samuel Adams, just to haze, hazy, juicy and refreshing ipa for dry January, because you know, I
just decided. People keep asking me, why are you doing this, James, I just wanted to see if I could do it. I wanted to see if I can actually do I'm challenging myself now. I'm calling of dryer January because in the event, like I'm at like day twenty five and I'm like, you know what, I really want an art car Ipa. So if I do drink the art car Ipi, well then I'm not doing the
dry January anymore. So I call it dryer January just the same. Yeah, you're not as not as alcoholic as you would be because technically, really, if you want to do dry January, you're not really supposed to do any kind of alcohol none. Yes, because I won't even use mouth wash. Yeah. Well, if you look at the alcohol story, there's zero point five percent alcohol in these as. Okay, all right, so hold on, I'm gonna go ahead and call BS. According to the keyboard cowboy,
Chad keyboard cowboys. Please, no, I'm sorry, stand down, stand down, because no, you would have to be you'd have to be chugging gallons. I okay, this is a belief. Okay. By the way, I'm not a doctor or a scientist, and I'm not even that good at math, but I'm gonna go ahead and throw this out here. I'm gonna say this. You would drown from all of the water you would consuming beer because beer is ninety five percent water. It's actually more than that
non alcoholic beer, but it's ninety five percent water. Okay, you would drown from all the water in the beer before you got a buzz on non alcoholic beer, and from all of the carbs which convert to sugars in non alcoholic beer. You would make yourself a diabetic. So there you go. So before you got a buzz, so you would be a diabetic who drowned from ingesting too much water before you got a buzz on non alcoholic beer. And if you don't believe me, try it out yourself and you prove me
wrong. I'm kidding. Don't do that. Do not do that. Okay, Listen, we do not have enough liability insurance. So I am officially saying, do not do that. Well, the Keyboard Cowboys said that because it contains point five percent alcohol by volume, you are not completely going alcohol free January. So I'm just saying that with the writing on the old interwebs. But hey, real quick, Zach Bryan, I want to talk about
himal quick. So he played a surprise forty minute acoustic set one Tuesday, and it looks like it was January eighth at some bar in Austin, Texas, and the first hundred fans that showed up got in and they also received a free beer courtesy of Zach. So I guess he did kind of a little pop up and that people maybe posted something on his social and so the first people that showed up got in and they got a free beer courteousy of
him. So, but if you've been following Zach, which I haven't, but according to some of his followers, he been participating in dry January, well it seemed to have caved that Tuesday, January eighth, because that night he actually toasted the crowd and then later tweeting, quote, I'm a weak man. I guess back to the bidenness tomorrow. What I guess, abiding into the abiding, ah, the abided. Yeah, so he was eight days into dry January. It was like, oh, yeah, that's right,
I'm doing a dry January. But now he wanted to toast his fans who came out and to see a show. But Zach Bryan brought bought beer for everyone that came to a surprise show in Austin, Texas. So that was pretty cool. Wow, that is kind of nice. But he probably did it not even realizing he was a dry January thing, and oh crap, that's right, I'm doing this dry January thing. So it seems like it's more of a challenge, that's what it is. It's a challenge than
it is than it is a lifestyle change. Yeah, but I guess it can turn into a lifestyle change because I've heard of people that have said, you know what, I'm gonna try this try January thing, and then they get to January thirty first and they're like, you know what, I'm gonna see if I could take this further. And next thing, you know, it's you know, months and then maybe a year and if you want to
do that, hey, great, great, good on you. But I decided just to do this because I eat a lot of oysters, and oysters are not good for the liver, and so I decided to know what I was drinking a lot. I was eating a lot of oysters because I went to New Orleans over the holidays. I was gonna say, and yeah, I don't know that you eat a lot of oysters on a regular No, not normally, but the week that we were in New Orleans, I mean
you probably went nuts dozen oysters here? Doesen oysters there? I mean we were just knocking them out, and on the fact, I was just washing it down with beer. And you know, oysters not good for the liver. So I decided to know it. January first, I'm gonna give my body a little bit of a break and we'll see what happens on February first. Although I am missing a lot of good beers, I have some good beers in the bridge that I picked up when I was in New Orleans that
are like, hey, man, what's going on. We're just sitting on the shelf, like what we can't get any love. But then again, and I'm also sitting in the studio alone because nobody's hitting me up to the studio with me. It's very odd, very odd, because I noticed that when I'm drinking breaking these good beers to the show. Not that these aren't good, but people are hitting me up. Hey, I'll be a stunt liver, James, you ever need one. It's been crickets. Oh man,
all right, well but I digress. Yeah, there's some people hitting this guy up here in the news. I want to go ahead and tackle this story because this one's a fun one, this one. I laughed really hard hitt this one. But the University of Wisconsin of Lacrosse, their chancellor is getting his own beer, now that's right. This story broke during the holidays when we were off. Yeah yeah, yeah, so we missed.
We missed this one. This one fell like we were in a production meeting and it slipped off the table and then the beer, the beer is just being released. But the story of what happened with the chancellor broke during the holidays. Yeah, yeah, we heard about it. And then we were picking up some scraps, sheets of paper and somebody spilled a beer and it land It's like, oh, what's this story? And I was like,
oh yeah, we we forgot about that one. Here it is, but Joe gow the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin at Lacrosse, he likes to engage in some extracurricular activities and that got the attention of you know, tennis. Not tennis, no no, no, no, no no, not pickleball, no no. These activities got way more attention from the university and
also the community and the Milwaukee Journal in Sentinel. Uh. He likes to record himself having sex with his wife, whoa yep, yep, and some of the videos got out, so as I said John Gough, the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin Lacrosse. He is now the former chancellor of the University of Wisconsin at Lacrosse. But that didn't stop a brewery from immediately upon the news breaking, designing a mostly nude cartoon figure a logo. I looked
at that. I know, he's basically it's an old man who's basically naked, but he's got some sort of like a like a cap and gown on or something like that, and he's running and it's got a big censored sign over his private areas. And it's described as a fruited sour with Cherry's apricots Peaches and Vanilla. I don't know what that has to do with anything about
the event, but the incident that inspired this whole thing. Yeah, the the university has said that they are basically they're they're not training it as a funny matter at all. They are investigating him, and I think he's done. He's he's officially done according to at the time of this story, he was on his way out, but they said that it caused significant reputational harm due to his abborrent online activities. So I don't there's no word on whether
he posted these for others to watch. Oh, no, he definitely did. He definitely did. It is very proud of that. He's very proud of it. So he's been shooting these videos for a while with his wife and decided, okay, let's upload these to the porn community for people to enjoy. I got so many recognized. Of course, somebody recognized it, as they will, and of course, you know, there's some kind of violation of Yeah, there's a clause in there, but because he's a tenured
professor as well. But he's defending his behavior. He's arguing that, hey, I'm not making money off of this, so it's not like a side hustle or he's moonlighting and it's his first Amendment, right, I can make these videos. So he is considering legal options because apparently the school has moved to dismiss the chancellor. But the beer's name and I love it in the inspired by nothing other than U van Halen's Hot for Teacher, this one hot
for Chancellor. But I love how I love how this guy is really coming out to defending, Like, look, this is something my wife and I enjoy doing. What's the harm? Nobody's getting hurt by it. If you want to know more about this, you can find out from six o eight Brewing Company six eight Brewing Company. Hot for Chancellor's all right, that's our number one of what's on tap radio coming up in the second hour, James is gonna kick us off. I think we're gonna open up another beer,
and we've got hold my Beer and watch this and much much more. Don't you go anywhere? One more hour coming back at you. This is what's on tap radio and Jim, hey, h stop trying to make everybody happy. You're not beer. You've got what's on tap radio. Jane Chad talking about here hold my beer and watch this brought to you by your friends at Ringing all the ten taking insurance group located in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Holland along the Lake Shore RTI Grand Rapids rnt I, Grand Rapids dot Com.
All right, welcome to hour number two. What's on Tap Radio. We were just talking about this story about this chancellor who has been let go or I guess they're underinvestigating or under investigation. But he's flue to videos and uh he encourages people to Hey, I listened to an interview he did with CNN. He was encouraging people, look, give it a chance, like go watch it, you know, yeah, the good stuff. You know, he's promoting his brand. That's that's his that's his hobby. Yeah, his
hobby is videotaping himself with his wife. Some people play foating it to public platforms. Some people play pickleball, go to the gym. You know, they film themselves wine tasting, wine tasting. But this guy at travel at workout extra size, him and his wife got a little uh videos going on uh some porn sites and well now he's uh where he puts that out movie, puts that on a resume for his next job. It's like other activities
and hobbies include he probably has that on his resume. Amateur porn star probably yeah, yeah, yeah. Websites where he can be found, you know, LinkedIn, his LinkedIn profile, his Facebook page. Oh my god, hey, hey, you know what. He may be out of a job teaching, But hey, Lisa got a beer out of it, all right. Speaking of getting a beer out, I got a beer out of the fridge and I'm gonna crack it open right now. Stunt liver. Neighbor John
hanging out with me. We're sticking with the pills in her theme. What did shack it out of the crisper drawer? No, no, no, no no. This is a pure Michigan Shorts Brewing Company Winter Pills, made with all Michigan ingredients. Now, this is an Imperial pilsner, meaning higher ABV. Had to look it up. I think it's coming in at nine
point four percent. But I looked down the side of the can here and it reminded me of something because last year at the Michigan Winter Beer Festival, I remember seeing Shorts and they had a outdoor beer booth made out of blocks of ice, and I think this is what they're referring to. Because on the side of the cant it says, one time we cut a load of three inch or excuse me, three foot ice blocks out of Torch Lake to build a massive ice booth at a beer fest. I'm like, hey,
I remember that. And on the side of the can it says it literally says load sh l oa D. So you don't have to censor that. Okay, hang on, what can I I know we gotta do a home my beer and watch this. But we've talked about last week you had a beer called three Yeah, you can't say that, and then now you have a beer that has that on that and then we have a porn right you know, label a guy running neckd with a sensor. What happened to the beer le police? I know, Well, I'm glad you brought this.
A few years ago, the Bruce Association was coming out like, hey, we're not having any offensive labels anymore. You know, we gotta be inclusive. And I am so glad you brought this up because I got a phone call this week from our buddy John Klunder at ring All the ten Hacen insurance group. Now they sponsored this segment Hold my beer and watch this. And he called me and he's like, hey, we got to talk about this.
You guys were talking about something on your show last week and I'm not sure how that got through, but we can cover you for most things, but we can't cover you for a sanction from the FCC. And I said, what are you talking about it? He says, you guys were talking about a cool sh and I said what he said, a cool and I said a cool ship ship. He says, that's not what I heard.
I thought you guys were talking about cool shi the word for dookie, and he said you guys kept repeating it, and he's like, dude, I don't know how you guys are getting away with saying that, but you can't say that word on the radio and ship high end transit right, Ship high end transit right. So I once I explained, We had a good laugh, but just goes to show ringing all the ten Hacen listening to the show. But you know what, we do a pretty good job better than the
guys featured in this segment. Hold my beer and watch this brought to you by the ring Meld of ten Hacen Insurance Group, where they'll cover you for just about everything except this. Yeah. There's ways to celebrate and this ain't one of them. So this happened in our friends in the north. Yeah,
we'll give him Florida the week off and old Canada. Hey. A twenty five year old driver in Brampton had his driver's license suspended after police alleged he was driving under the influence, speeding and exhibiting careless and driving behavior. MM, careless driving behavior. That's not good. Police claim they found an open container of alcohol in the vehicle and the driver's out facing multiple charges.
So here's what happened. According to police, the man had just taken and passed his driver's license test just twenty minutes No, he had passed his test, no, twenty minutes later, decided to go out and celebrate, And in celebration, the driver cracked a beer and decided to drive back to Brampton on Highway ten. Alleged a police officers, Yeah he did. He must have skipped the question or got that one wrong on the driver's exam. I was like, can I drink an alcoholic beverage in the car? You know
he can't. Nope. As a driver headed south, he flew past an unmarked police vehicle. Whoops. Police also alleged that the driver was weaving in and around other vehicles in a careless manner, and then a quote from one of the officers says, I can't even began to understand why someone would think that drinking a beer in their vehicle while driving is a smart idea, let alone a novice driver who should well be versed on the rules of the road.
He said. The officer pulled him over, and police are claiming that they found an open alcohol container in the vehicle. That didn't say what it was, but he said the driver was registered a blood alcohol concentration above zero. See novice drivers have to have his no alcohol in their systems right soever.
So he had a concentration above zero and a man's driver's license was immediately susmended for thirty days as he was charged with stut driving, Keller's driving, novice driver with a BAC above zero, and driving with an open container, and several other document related offenses. Police said, so he let me see what you got this straight? So he had a driver's license for twenty minutes, twenty five minutes. Jad he was like, no, what I'm gonna
go out and celebrate. What better way to celebrate than cracking a beater and drive like an a hole. So a twenty five year old man accused him of going fifty kilometers above the speed limit. I'm not sure how much that is over Drew Carrie thirteen moved a decimal point and square root of nine, weaving in and out of traffic heading home from the driving test center. So
people can't even believe that. I can't even understand what would Why would this guy think this is perfectly okay behavior celebrating getting his driver's license by cracking open a beer and driving record twenty five and he's a novice driver. It's like, yeah, Mom didn't let me get my driver's license when I would turn sixteen twenty five nine years later celebrate. Brampton man twenty five charged with open a beer while driving to celebrate his new driver's license. I my beer.
You can buy beer at nineteen in Canada. He could buy beer before he was driving. Thank you, Renaldo to an Acre Insurance group for supporting this segment. But they're supporting this guy. They're not ensuring this guy. So I can't make this stuff up. Folks in this guy's line of work. This police officer said he has never seen anything like this, nor can he understand why anyone would think this is perfectly okay behavior. All right, we gotta get a break still to come. Oh my god, I can't make
this stuff up. Zero percent alcohol, white claws getting a beating online. Explain why all so much more, we'll ride back. If you encounter wine snobs, just take a full class of wine and put it to your ear. Mines will be blown. This is what's on tap radio. Yeah, yeah, you know how you miss the first hour. What's on tap radio. Chad's fun fact talk about how the guy who invented ice cubes, John died lonely and sad. You would think that, you know, he would
be praised for this modern invention. Well, he does have a statue in Florida, doesn't he Yeah, statue in Florida because he invented He was the pioneer for refrigeration, which led to air conditioning, which Floridians love. This guy should have schools named after him. Just saying, all right, So I just came across a stupid article. So I've been dealing with this crud for the past dot how many days we in January? And I tested negative
for COVID. I just last week I lost my voice so much that I had to sit on third mic and I just went by my old radio name and turned James. So Chad and harbor Light Bill, who's actually at a studio. He's on assignment this week, so he's not with us. We sent him out. Yeah, go check the temperature out on the pier. Yeah, we sent him out on assignment. But I had to sit on the third mic because I had no voice whatsoever. And so I was just
like, you know what, I still want to hang out. I'll chime in, I'll do my hold my beer and watch this, but Chad and Harblight Bill will carry the show. Just came across the stupidest article I ever read. But maybe this is onto something. We're beginning of the new year with what we call the triple Demmick is due to cases are three major respiratory viruses, the flu, COVID nineteen, and RSV. So maybe that's what I have. That's why I'm testing negative for COVID, because I have all
three. The flu you were talking, COVID nineteen and RSV is called the triple demic. You were talking about the nineties during the break, Yes, wasn't there A Wasn't there an all girls soul group that are called RSV. Wasn't that? Wasn't that? ORLC? No, it's SWV Sisters with Voices, That's what it was. It was an RSV. It was sw SWV. At least I tried to try. But some says, some seek vaccines while others are dealing with this healing power with music. So maybe that's what
I need, just some good music. So anyways, maybe that's what I got, the triple demick. So if you know some people who've had the crud for the last couple of weeks and they don't know what it is, well, I don't know. I test negative for the flu. I never got COVID. I just got this crud coffeeing. I got this flim in my throat. It's called the triple dimmick. Something to be started out in
four James. James doesn't know what to get treated. First, he goes to the what is it the E n T which is the nose and throat doctor. It's like, what's your problem? I can't see what's up my nose, but it's affecting my throat. Treat it all. Yeah, of course they're working on a vaccine for it. You have to get it, of course, of course. Yeah. I started for all of it, and they tested out on owls for the eyes. You have to get four doses of it, giraffes for the throat. I'm not making you. You
can google it yourself. Triple dimmick. It's no triple dim all out. All right. That was that maybe was the dumbest thing segment we've ever done. Go on to some other dumb stuff, all right, other dumb stuff coming out of Utah. That's right. Hey, just remember they're thirsty mores out there who are not drinking. But apparently, if you are a brewery in Utah, like the Bewilder Brewing Company, whatever you do, don't try and use a trademark from the Church of Latter day Saints. That's right.
The LDS community not too fond whenever you make a beer and name it after something that, quite frankly, is a trademark complaint. Now you might be thinking, do churches have trademarks? Well, if there's a likelihood of confusion, the Mormon Church, even though they don't. Finally, explicit trademark. They are the users of the word desert. Now I'm not even familiar with
this word. I had to look it up myself, and desert actually comes from the Book of Mormon, excuse me, and it means something to do with honeybees. And I was like, oh, okay, hard working nature, which if you've ever met anybody from the LDS community, they are hard working if nothing else. And they're very friendly too. I've never met a Mormon who wasn't the most friendly person. Yeah, they are. I have
a really good friend who's a Mormon's very cool, very nice. They are very But the Salt Lake Brewery Bewildered Brewing Company made desert I pa and well in the brewer's words. Unfortunately, a large tax exempt Utah based entity wasn't pleased with the use of our word of the word desert in describing it. And so Mormons don't drink. I know. That was the whole point. Now, desert desert was Desert's been used on other things like coffee shops and
other businesses in town, and they had no issue with it. But when it came to alcohol, they're like, no, that isn't the case. So a lawsuit was filed and the US Patent and Trademark Office showed proof of registry and they said, hey, you know what, you can't use it. And so they didn't want to fight it. They let it go. So so just goes. A holy war has been avoided in Utah. They're not going to go there, go down that road. The owner saying that
he doesn't have money to fight the church. So you don't say, really, you can't take on an entire church. Come on, small little brewery. Yeah, apparently the brewery had something in the recipe with honey in it, so they were ready to go. Just just goes happen. It just
goes to show how difficult it is to name a beer. You think you have this great beer and all of a sudden you're a hit with a seasoned assission, Like what what unless you make a beer like hyper Light, like one brewery did in Houston, with the sole purpose of getting a C and D season desists, It's like we knew it was coming. We only made
one enough of the labels just to get rid of it. Well, then our buddy Kelly Meyer, he kind of did that with Shiner right, yep, it's like true, he's like bring it on, and which named rop He got a national attention for it because it made headlines. And that's actually how we caught wind of him. Now he's one of our good friend that's right, all right, since we're talking about stupid things, I want to go ahead, and this is not on the one sheet, James. I
stumbled onto this and I had to write hand handwritten notes right here. I have wrote this down. We've talked about this before, like what's a good lawnmower beer. I'm still trying to find out what a good snow snowblower snow thrower beer is. We talked about what a good shower Beerian New Belgium used to have that snow day that would have been the perfect snow snow beer.
And we've done we've done some stupid stories like and I've even called them stupid when we did them, like uh, the beer best for your zodiac sign or your personality prof those are so stupid. We have that story in our evergreen file because we keep getting it over and over and over. Well, I was looking through the internet looking for beer pairings that are the absolute worst beer pairings out there. No, I'm not talking about beer being paired with
food. I'm talking about dumb beer pairings, like pairing a beer with your zodiac sign. I found five horrendous, absolutely terrible beer pairings, and I want to share these with you. So do not pare your beer in this way. Okay. First of all, all right, here we go. One. People have attempted to pare beer with a television show or a movie. I'm sorry, but the Caddy Shack Bushwood beer that James and I had in his studio did not taste better and would not taste better if we were
watching Caddy Shack. Wait. Wait, what if I drink brew of H while watching a U of H game? It will not make your beer taste better? Okay, okay, nor will drinking the om Omagang Game of Thrones taste better if you're watching Game of Thrones. Okay. Don't try and pare your beer with your favorite comic book character. Not gonna happen. You're not. It doesn't work. This is an actual list. It's on the internet.
Okay, Okay, Now this one all right, So there's two, there's two, al right, This one here, this one here, this one drives me nuts. This one's stupid. Pairing a beer with your kids leftover food. This is a pairing that's on the internet. Chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. Here you go, dinosaur chicken nuggets and bites. Yep, dumb beer pairings on the internet, that's what I'm talking about. So I went out and I just scoured the internet and found some of these out
here. I got two more I want to share with you. One of these I'm kind of impressed by, but it's stupid. And the other one is just dumb, dumb and stupid. This one here, somebody went impaired eighteen beers with each of the eighteen holes at the Masters, and they did it based on the plant life around each hole. This is dumb. Now you just got to wonder, though, did somebody try and take on all eighteen beers and do it all? But this last one here again talking about
worst beer pairings out there on the internet. Pairing a beer with your personal failures, that's right. So if you're all depressed about your personal failures, this is the best beer to drink yourself into another bad decision. These are actual beer pairings on the internet that are the dumbest beer pairings on the internet. Post that to our social mediaset what's on tap Radio? Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram?

But hey, I'll come in, said, you know, saying they're available to come out and hang out with us. But I kicked off with the Samuel Adams just the Hayes, hazy, juicy and refreshing non alcohol IPA very good and we talked about a

If you are a significant other is pregnant and you want to know go alcohol free the for the nine months you can enter a contest where they will give you nine months worth of Samuel Adams just the Haze. Go back and check out our podcast, which is available by Cask Branding. But I picked this beer up the other day. I don't know much about it. It's called Oatmeal Dark. Oatmeal Dark. Oatmeal Dark is from Bravis Brewing Company, and it is it is a oatmeal
stout. So this is a non alcoholic oatmeal stout exactly right, Bravis, Bravis Brewing Company. Okay, now I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna. I don't want to speculate, but I've never heard of Bravis. Where are they out of I don't know, but all I know is there since twenty fifteen, they became North America's first non alcoholic craft brewery. Oh really, Yeah, so I don't know if they were before athletic obviously athletics. The
self proclaimed Anaheim, California Chad Bravis coming to Anaheim, California. All right, what's the James? Take a taste and tell us if it's worth drinking, because I'm skeptical having very very rich dark chocolate, Chad, Yeah, what do you got there? Taste it? What do you got? Yeah?

All right, Apparently if you drink it from a Sam Adams Boston logger glass, not only will it cure your COVID, but it'll also fix that hang Neil, all right, good news, ud, feeling better right now? Drinking is not an alcoholic beer. Yeah, tobacco notes. Oh what do you

So a lot of Christmas ales from breweries chatters are expired. Okay, great, drink those are expired. Yeah, it's probably Yeah. In fact, I think if you drink this, you get RSV. It's like october Fest, Octoberfest in November and December can't do it. So I'm just gonna give that the stunt beer liver neighbor John and let him drink the rest of it and
we'll see what happens. Hey, John, you try it first and everything works out, I'll give it a shot. But uh, speaking of giving things a shot, I got to share this story. This might be my favorite story the whole year. If you're familiar with Olivia Dunn, she needs no introduction because she's only and by the way, if you're not familiar, here's your introduction. She's only the second highest paid collegiate athlete in the world
and the highest paid female athlete in the world. She is a gymnast with LSU. She is not the number one gymnast. She doesn't have a cool trick that she does on the floor exercise. Nope. She's just really really good at social media and so is her sister, who manages her social media account. Well. Olivia Dunn was at a meat against Ohio State and her sister, who Jeles, wanted to go and watch the meat and of course, she says, my psychotic mother likes to get there way beforehand and to
get good seats. Yes, calls her mom psychic on social media. Psychotic. Yes, Yes, so Jules wanted to catalog on social media and see how many beers she could drink before the end of the meat. Yes. So they got there an hour and a half early. And for saying she does when she gets in the door is she catalogs it drinks beer. And then she slips in beer number two before the girls even finished the warm ups,
and then she starts taking pictures and posting it. Before she could grab the third beer, the girls started to run out of the tunnel, so she quickly got that third beer, and she says, you know what, I don't care that they're coming out of the tunnels. And she says, quote, I really couldn't give an f because all I wanted to do is go to the concession stand and get another beer now. She then grabbed beer number three, watched her sister warm up, and while she's sitting there watching
her warm up, she finished the warm up. She ran back and grabbed beer number four and drank that meat hasn't even started yet, and then she watched her compete and she says, I lost my ever living sh you know what watching her compete, and then I sounded like a forty five year old divorced man at a bar watching his favorite NFL team on Sunday, screaming at the TV. Yeah you go alive? Whoa. And then after yelling all that, I said, you know what, I'm gonna celebrate with a mohedo
and a fifth beer. She kept going and the video ended with her holding up her mohido saying this is the real hero of the story. So uh. The moral of the story is Olivia Dunn's sister, Olivia Done the highest paid female athlete in college athletics. Her sister wanted the catalog how many beers she could get in the entire gymnastics meat. The answer was five and one mohido, and she jokingly said at the end of her catalog, Yeah, don't mind me. I'm just the forgotten sibling of the Dune family. So
Olivia Done. I know, Olvia Done the highest paid at college athlete in the NCAA. Her sister catalogs how many beers she can drink at a gymnastics meat. I bet she has a fun ride home. I guess she wasn't drinking non alcoholic beers at the meat U No, no, no, she was leaning into it. She was actually drinking michelob Ultra and bud light was She's not drinking any of the white Claws. She was not drinking white Claw. But I hear now you can drink as many White Claw as you want.
I'm telling you, what mess you up? What a time to be alive, Chad. So the hard celizer company White Claws sparked a social media frenzy after releasing this a new zero percent alcohol variety pack with a hefty price tag. Each twelve ounce can has fifteen calories and includes electrolytes for hydration, and after reaching the store shelves on January first, at many retail establishments, users went to x to complain to offer their perspective on the new product line.
One user on X said We've come full circle alongside of a picture of a stack of zero percent White Claws at the grocery store. Minie cows question the purpose of the new alcoholic beverage, with some typing just rebranding sparkling water. Another user on X came up with a new tagline, A new wave of drinking started, castly calling it clever revention of Seltzer water. Oh what if we use it as a mixer, It could be as good with vodka, one member wrote, So let me get this straight. It's just flavored
water. One user added, and some user online took issue with the cost of the new Seltzers, which suggested retailer price at seventeen dollars to nineteen dollars for a twelve pack. Oh my gosh, which is more than beer. So this new na Seltzer is going for a higher price tag than a six pack of beer. So let me make yeah Seltzer water Seltzer water at beer
prices. Seltzer water existed, Yeah, flavored Seltzer water existed. Then white Clock comes along and says we're gonna make alcoholic Seltzer water flavored Seltzer water. Then they said, wait a minute, people are drinking more non alcoholic beverages. We're gonna make white claw which is alcoholic Seltzer water and take the alcohol out, which is right back to flavored Seltzer water. But wait, you can buy it for three times the cost of what seltzer flavored Seltzer water where
somebody added they took a picture of it because right next to this. Seltzer was Seltzer water for half the price. It's ridiculous, cry half the price. Lacroix. Yeah, flavored Seltzer water. Boom, there it is. My favorite comment was, Hey, this would be a good mixture to add with vodka because that's what's in White Claw. Not all comments were bad, though, Chad One actually wrote, I actually like this as someone who can't
have alcohol. Now I can drink this, So yeah, and don't know about I don't know if Vita's in White Claw or not, but I don't know if it technically is because they call a malt beverage. But but I'm sure that that's what you use as a you know, you know, you use Seltzer water with vodkas. But news News zero percent abv White Claw draws a beating and a praise on social media. Seltzer water at it's eer prices. It's like we evolved into an organism with thumbs and then went and cut
them off. Okay, last segment of Once on Tap Radio coming up.

And the good news is is James poured it into the Samuel Adams Boston Lugger glass tested positive for the flu before the show. Now not no longer contagious Triple Demick, Chad triple Dimick.
I know, I know, all right. So this story was sent to us from our friends at Superior Pest Control of West Michigan. I want to share this because it's kind of funny. I was having a conversation with Fred over there and we were talking about how Greenland is actually shipping This is unbelievable. You want the ultra rich contributing to the environmental concerns. They were taking ice from icebergs and melting it down and shipping it to the United Arab Emirates
where people could drink glacier ice water. Oh yeah, so the icebergs are melting or we're chipping away and melting it down so that the ultra rich and deserts can go ahead and drink it. Proof. You can market anything you can, and Mark Zuckerberg is trying to do the exact same thing with his mission to raise wagu beef and Angus cattle on his one hundred million dollar Hawaiian compound. Now you may be asking yourself what's interesting about this story and what
the heck does it have to do with beer? Yeah? What could be so bad? Well, again, thank you Superior Past Control West Michigan for sending this over to us, Because it turns out he is going to feed them exclusively on macadamia nuts and beer. So basically the cows are just going to be sitting around eating nuts and drinking beer or eating spent grat No word whether or not they're going to set up a bar in a television to let
him watch the game, and le that sounds like a bar. It does sound like a bar, like sit there, Hey guy, I got another bowl of nuts and pour me another one, Darya slim. You know, Hey, Sam, I gotta get some another beer and a bowl of nuts here. Yeah, yeah, bring me another shell, some more peanuts. Anyway, he says that it'll take a few years to determine whether or not the diet works, but he knows that the macadamia nuts in particular, are
very high in nutritional density, with lots of proteins and fats. We already know that Cole benefit from eating spent grain and beer. But he is confident that the diet will affect taste, but again he admits it's going to take time to prove it. He then later was quote as saying it may only have a minimal difference in the taste. But apparently there's a lot of controversy
involved with glad You mentioned that. Yeah, he's he's apparently buying a lot of in in Hawaii, and well, people aren't real happy about that, and the fact that he's using it to raise cattle and feeding him these I mean Macadamian nuts. If you wanted to price nuts, I think macadamia nuts qualify as one of the most expensive of all of the nuts. I mean, they're definitely cheap. They're more expensive than peanuts. Cashews are up there,
they're on the higher end. Pecans not so high. But you know, walnuts now, you know, I mean, they're no but macadamianots they're a premium. Well, he's also getting a beating because he's raising cattle, and environmentalists don't like cattle because cal's do what's right. They fart, cayle farts, and beer makes you fart, so hey, you know what, not many greenhouse gases you're gonna give, you're gonna give an animal that already
farts a lot a beverage and ingredients that make it fart even more. But anyway, so he's not chipping away ice from glaciers and contributing to the melting of those too, just so that somebody in the United Arab Emirates can be drinking glacier water. But no word on how much longer he's going to continue to do this, but he believes he's going to create a market of a
very delicious wagu beef and Angus beef. And I'm sure there's somebody getting off Facebook right now because they're appalled and offended that he's doing this because all the greenhouse gas is that these cows are farting that are gonna contribute to global warming. And then they'll get right back on and sign up with a new account right after they realized they don't know where their friends are, what their family's doing. I don't want to call my family. I just want to look
at it on Facebook. Give it the thumbs up. Well, you know, speaking of global warming, you know they're suggesting that because of global warming, that's why these temperatures are so extremely cold. That's right, because they weren't cold before. They weren't. They weren't cold before then, but they
are now. It's cold weather. Yep. Weather was apparently very you know, nice and cool and not too hot before man came and ruined everything with their erected it you know, cars and exhausts and all sorts of things. But uh, I was talking about how no beer was safe inside arrowhead stadium. And I'm not just talking about because people going around stealing people's beers, like, hey that person, I'll look at it. Rather beer, No,
we're talking about. No beer was safe inside Arrowhead Stadium because the sub zero temperatures, so fans of the Kansas City Chiefs versus Miami Dolphins wild Card game took the social media to display their frozen refreshments. One person quoted saying the worst investment to make tonight at Arrowhead is beer or pop. They're freezing within minutes when he's are said on X. Another fan said saddest thing I've ever seen, referring to two frozen Bushlight cans with icy foam coming out of
the opening. But Light official X account got on the action, saying you think you're cold today, try being an Arrowhead. The negative four degree kickoff temperature is franchise records for both Chiefs and Dolphins, so I guess, yeah, damn cold. But even even beer with ten percent alcohol can freeze an under twenty six degree temps. The average beer between four and six percent alcohol freezes around twenty eight degrees mark, and many fans at the game could have
saved their money they'd known this knowledge ahead of time. The negative twenty seven degree windshield at kickoff certainly didn't bring any beers back to life. So, although these temperatures are rare in Kansas City, depending on the alcohol percentage, beer can freeze as high as thirty degree weather. So imagine that you're paying you know, what is it, twelve to fifteen dollars for a beer? Oh yeah, and you go back to your seat and within minutes just have
a frozen beer slushy. Yeah, I know. And they don't let you come in with box cutters to cut it off and just treat it like a popsicle or you know, they can't cut the top of the can off. You're kind of screwed on that deal. And I was talking to neighbor John. He went to the Winter Classic, which is the New Year's Day outdoor hockey game NHL game that's played, and they played when it Soldier Field, and he went and he had a beer and it was in a cup.
It was a draft beer and a cup, and while he was sitting there, the top of his beer froze and he had to bust through it to drink his beer. Yeah, at that point, I think, you know, I'm just gonna drink hot coffee or something. Actually, they left after the first period said screw this, we're gonna go watch the rest of the game from a bar, and they did. Then they got out of there.
That's the way I would do it. But hey, these diehard fans, man, you know they're buying eighteen to nineteen dollars beers that are freezing in minutes. So it's just crazy, that is it. My friends.
We have got to say goodbye with that queue. But before we do, let's think our sponsors for allowing us to stay on the radio each and every week, go out and support Tantric Brewing, Superior Pest Control, Biological conference events, the Backyard Girl of course, keeping our lights on Harbor Lights Brewing, and sponsoring our podcast cast branding.
