Who the fuck is John Octor Loney? This is Beer in Front, part

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,679
of the Oddpods Media Network. Sometimes
the beer in front of you is the

3
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:17,000
best one yet. I'll talk about
some old school beers that maybe you've forgotten

4
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:21,559
about, some new beers that have
the potential to be a classic. I'll

5
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,320
also talk to various people around the
beer world and get their stories all about

6
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:36,320
beer. That's Beer in Front and
it's coming up now. Welcome to episode

a special jag off of the week segment

12
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,159
buried after the closing music like a
tease from an upcoming Marvel movie. All

13

00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:26,599
more about what I'm upset about.
You could stay tuned to the very end.

17
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:30,400
Some people don't like the Jagoff segment. That's why I really don't do

18
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,920
it much anymore. But this will
be at the end, like after the

19
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,840
music, So if you want to
hear it, stay tuned after the music

20
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,719
at the end of the show.
So welcome to Beer in Front. I'm

21
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,200
your host, Dave's Alatoris and Beer
in Front is a proud member of the

22
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:56,319
Oddpods media Network. This week,
I'm having Octoberfest beers. I'm going to

23
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:02,079
do one from Hot Throw in Munich
and two local Chicago ones here. I

24
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:07,479
love this time of year, big
fan of the october Fest style. Whether

25
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:14,039
it's fest beer or Marzen, both
are really good. So this time of

26
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:20,000
year, when everyone's putting out an
october Fest beer, it's great. So

27
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,919
stay tuned a little bit later,
I'm gonna have three beers in front for

28
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,719
you. My back still hurts.
Went to the doctor on Wednesday and he

29
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,719
did a little poking and prodding and
it still hurts. So he was like,

30
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:43,159
yeah, there's no way you're going
back to lifting heavy suitcases. So

31
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:49,120
he gave me another week off up
to my dosage of the muscle relaxer and

32
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,599
put me on some steroids. So
I don't know if there's a podcasting Hall

33
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:59,039
of Fame. I don't know if
I'm going to be eligible because I'm now

34
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,560
on the juice, but I'm taking
steroids and muscle relaxers for another week and

35
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,800
hopefully this gets better really soon.
Need to give a big thank you to

36
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:16,199
my neighbor Greg. Greg took the
paddle board off my hands so I will

37
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:23,240
not be attempting to paddle board down
the Chicago River. So thank you to

38
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:35,759
Greg for taking this paddle board off
of my hands. In Beer News Brooklyn

39
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:40,199
Brewery, they're going to honor one
of New York City's greatest hip hop artists

40
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:49,080
with the special can from Notorious Big. They're doing this on their iconic Brooklyn

41
00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:53,000
Lager, so look for that in
the New York areas soon. I've talked

42
00:03:53,039 --> 00:04:00,960
before about the blurring of the lines
between non alcoholic and new products that have

43
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,479
alcohol in them, but now White
Claws doing it in reverse. They're coming

44
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:15,080
out with a zero alcohol seltzer that
has four different flavors at only fifteen calories

45
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:20,920
per can. So I guess you
could get a zero alcohol white Claw near

46
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:30,480
You read over on American Craftbeer dot
Com that White Shield ipa, which I

47
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,439
guess is legendary in the United Kingdom. They're owned by Mulson Cores and they're

48
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:42,120
retiring it, so you will not
be able to find the White Shield IPA

49
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,399
from Worthington's in bottles anymore. According
to the article, it'll still be available

50
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:55,120
on tap at certain locations, but
there's a huge uproar over in England over

51
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:01,000
the discontinuing of Worthington's White Shield.
Firestone Walker announced some of their plans for

52
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:06,120
twenty twenty four and beyond, and
they're really going to start pushing the eight

53
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,040
O five brand and the Atol five
servesa, and what they want to do

54
00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:15,600
with their serves I think is interesting. They're going to move it to clear

55
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,399
bottles instead of the amber brown bottles, and according to them, their research

56
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:27,399
shows that more than seventy percent of
the consumers out there preferred the clear bottle

57
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:31,720
to amber bottles when it comes to
drinking that style of beer, and it

58
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:38,480
improved their purchase intent by four times
according to Firestone Walkers. So that's interesting.

59
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,839
If you're a fan of the Atol
five Servesa. Look for that then

60
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,000
a clear bottle coming up. In
twenty twenty four. Sad news locally here

61
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,920
in Illinois Oswego Brewing Company they're going
to close their doors for good. I

62
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:58,040
think they close it actually last weekend. They opened five years ago. They

63
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,920
had Their top beer was a beer
called Haze for Horses. It was a

64
00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:08,040
New England ipa. They just didn't
recover from COVID. According to the article

65
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:14,040
in the Tribune. The owners didn't
blame COVID, but according to the articles

66
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,680
a good article, they had to
take out loans and even when business came

67
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:24,319
back, it still wasn't exactly where
it was pre COVID, and you got

68
00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:27,160
to pay the bill. So they
were just unable to do it. So

69
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:32,439
sad news from Illinois where Oswego Brewing
Company is shut down. A lot of

70
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:39,000
breweries are having their October Fest parties, and it's hard to keep track of

71
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,959
who's doing what. But one of
my favorites and one that I go to

72
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,720
every year, it's a joint effort
between Big Guile and Dubtail. This is

73
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:55,079
their October Fest diversary that's located in
between the two breweries. If you're familiar

74
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,839
with the area. They're less than
a block away, so the alleyway air

75
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:05,120
in between, there's plenty of broom
for food, truck, music, beer,

76
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:11,600
brat worse. So definitely on the
weekend of October seventh and eighth,

77
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:16,879
you need to head over to Beguile
and Dovetail for the October festiversary party.

78
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:24,120
Finally, I read over on Porch
Drinking a brewery in Colorado called Cerebral Brewing.

79
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:30,560
They're making a barrel aged with not
your typical barrels. They're making this

80
00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:36,519
with fifteen year Pappy barrels. Now
they only have two, so there's not

81
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:42,439
gonna be a lot of this beer
out And if it's anything like Pappy,

82
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,240
I'm sure this thing's gonna go for
a left arm and it's gonna be super

83
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,439
rare to get. But if you're
in Colorado and you see something from Cerebral,

84
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,839
you definitely have to try this with
Pappy barrels. That's got to be

85
00:07:55,879 --> 00:08:03,360
outstanding. Hey, this is Grabbing

94
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:41,279
Octoberfest runs this year from the sixteenth
of September to October third. This is

95
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,480
the one hundred and eighty eighth edition
in Munich. The first one was actually

96
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:54,000
a horse race and a wedding reception
back in eighteen ten. I don't know

97
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:58,039
about you, but I think I
kind of missed out by not having a

98
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,639
horse race at my wedding reception.
They know how to do things right over

99
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:07,440
in Munich. There are Octoberfest celebrations
all over the world. A lot of

100
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,639
breweries put one out. I know
Revolution does a good one. There's a

101
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:18,039
new one this year with the Brewer's
Triangle over close to me, so definitely

102
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:22,519
check that out. But from what
I was reading and I remember talking to

103
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,600
Rod Jay, I think last year
or a couple of years ago, the

104
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:30,320
one that they have in Cincinnati,
if I remember correctly, that's the largest

105
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:39,000
Octoberfest celebration in the United States.
There are two totally different styles of october

106
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:43,000
Fest beers out there, and some
might be confused because they're, like I

107
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:48,879
said, they're really different. The
first is a fest beer, which is

108
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,799
a style you would have in Munich. It's a light golden color, has

109
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,519
low to medium malt and hop flavor. These check in between five point eight

110
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,879
six point three percent alcohol. The
second is usually the Marsin style, which

111
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,919
is probably what we think of here
in the States when we think of an

112
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:15,559
Octoberfest. Marzin is a much darker
colored beer, and it has more of

113
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,240
a maulta roma and taste than the
fest beer. The Marzin is about the

114
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:24,879
same in alcohol between five point eight
and six point three. Both are excellent

115
00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:28,360
in my opinion. I don't think
you could go wrong with either, and

116
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,919
I'm going to have a beer in
each style a little bit later on.

117
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:41,440
Let's get back to this horse race. I know, like here, you

118
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,360
do the dollar dance, you play
the hokey pokey, and what's that other

119
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:50,519
song, the Chicken Dance that's big
at wedding receptions here, which I made

120
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:56,200
sure it was not played at mine. But the horse race. I need

121
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,120
to renew my vows. Ruby,
if you us into this episode, we

122
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:07,639
need to renew our vows and get
some horses, all right. The beer

123
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:16,360
in front of me this week is
Hofbrows Octoberfest. Halfbrow Munich was founded get

124
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:24,519
this in fifteen eighty nine, so
this qualifies as an old school classic.

125
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:30,200
Their Octoberfest is a full bodied logger
beer with according to that Now I'm going

126
00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:37,320
to read this from their website with
its fine happy aroma. It's perfect alongside

127
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:45,320
a classic Octoberfest roasted chicken. Can
we circle back to this chicken? I've

128
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,720
never had an Octoberfest roasted chicken.
But now I'm curious and I need to

129
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,440
find me one of these Halfbrows Octoberfest
is a six point three percent alcohol by

130
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:03,000
volume beer checks in with twenty three
IBus over on rate beer. This has

131
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:09,000
scored an eighty one on a one
to one hundred scale and untapped. It's

132
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,759
three point five six bottle caps.
They use newer hops like Magnum. Now,

133
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:18,919
Magnum didn't come out until I think
nineteen eighty and Hercules, which has

134
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:24,399
only been around since two thousand and
five. So this beer here from Hofbrau,

135
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,320
it's not what you were going to
have in a beer haul in Munich

136
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:33,480
fifty years ago, but it's still
a really good beer. I do pick

137
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:39,639
this up every year when I see
it because I think it's a classic style

138
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,840
on a classic version of the style, and Hofbrau is one of the six

139
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:48,639
breweries that has the beer in october
Fest, so this is one I definitely

140
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,159
pick up. But let's stop talking
about it and let's crack this open.

141
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:13,600
The hopbrow Octoberfest is a really nice
light golden color, probably a little bit

142
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,759
darker than your usual macro beer,
but not a lot, really nice clear

143
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,080
color, good foam, good two
fingers of foam on. This smells really

144
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:30,320
nice. I get subtle hints of
the malt on the air, maybe a

145
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:37,080
little of the hops as well.
That's just really good, nice flavors here.

146
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,759
I get a little malt and a
little of the hops. And it's

147
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:41,600
weird because this isn't a brown bottle, and I'm gonna have to take another

148
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:46,080
sip. I thought I caught a
little skunkiness, but I don't think that's

149
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,240
true. That just had to be
me. But let me try this again.

150
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:56,080
No, that wasn't it. I
get the nice malt flavor here,

151
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,960
that's the first thing that hits me. Nice sweetness, a little bitterness from

152
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,480
the hops to balance it out.
Once again, this is the fest beer

153
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,879
instead of the Mars end. And
this is there's only six breweries that are

154
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:11,879
making beer for october Fest, and
Munich and Hofbrau is one of them.

155
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:16,360
So this is good. If you
see it, by all means you gotta

156
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,960
throw it in the cart. It's
october Fest, so grab yourself a Hoffbrow

157
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:33,039
october Fest beer. All right.
One of the local October fests that I'm

158
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:39,639
gonna have is courtesy of half Acre. This is Loggertown. Loggertown is five

159
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:46,320
point eight percent according to the website. This is an October Fest that lives

160
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:52,279
in the multi bosom of Munich's storage
tradition. All right, well, they

161
00:14:52,360 --> 00:15:07,000
sold me, so let's crack open
Loggertown. Laggertown is more of the marsin

162
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:13,360
style than the Fest beer. This
is darker, kind of looks like a

163
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,600
Vienna lager. So if you're not
a beer geek, if you've had a

164
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:22,720
Sam Adams Boston lager. The color
is similar to that good foam. Good

165
00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:30,720
carbonation. Here smells really nice.
I get a lot of the malt up

166
00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:35,840
front with the aroma. I think
it smells fantastic. Yeah, that's really

167
00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:41,080
really good. Nice malt flavor.
Here. Doesn't list the amount of hops

168
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:45,279
or they use, but it's an
october Fest. It's not a hoppy beer,

169
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,320
but it's well balanced. I get
a little bit of bitterness, not

170
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:54,960
a lot, but it's a well
balanced beer. Yeah, that's just it's

171
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,679
delicious. There's no other way around
it. It's delicious. If you see

172
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,919
this in the Chicago area, definitely
put it in the cart. Chicago has

173
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:08,000
a ton of great breweries knocking october
Fest out of the park. Half Acres

174
00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:12,840
Lockertown is always at the top of
my list. It's one of my favorites,

175
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,440
one I have to pick up every
year when it comes out. Usually

176
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,159
comes out late July, maybe early
August. So definitely, if you see

177
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:25,960
it, it's not going to be
around much longer. Put Loggertown in the

178
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:32,559
carts from Half Acre. Okay,
the last of the october Fest beers that

179
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,639
I'm going to have this week on
the show. Is fest Beer. This

180
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,879
is from Roaring Table out of Lake
Zurich. I love everything they do.

181
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,240
This is five point four percent alcohol. It I ken looks great. It

182
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:53,720
has that nice checkerboard October Fest like
tablecloth field to it. It looks great.

183
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:00,200
This has Magnum and Mental Frew hops
in here. This is I'm in

184
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:06,400
the can here. It's inspired by
the modern lager served every September. This

185
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,359
pale beer is crisp, clean and
designed to be enjoyed by the leader.

186
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:17,440
Well, you only have it in
a sixteen ounce can, So I'm just

187
00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:22,720
going to crack open the sixteen ounce
can of fest beer from Roaring Table.

188
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:34,680
Oh yeah, that's a fest beer. Nice golden color to it, good

189
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:41,160
foam. The smell is really good. I get a lot. I get

190
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,559
more of the hops here, I
think than I do from the malt out

191
00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:51,160
of the Aroma. But it smells
fantastic. Oh yeah, put this one

192
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,680
in the cart. This is just
really good. It's very clean, It's

193
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:03,880
crisp, refreshing. I like the
noble hoop bitterness that I get at the

194
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:10,039
end. Everything about this I'm digging. Yeah, that's really good Roaring Table.

195
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,519
I need to get out the Lake
Zurich. I need to find it

196
00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:15,319
first. I gotta have to Google
Maps or pull up map quest or something

197
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,559
like back in the day to find
my way out to Lake Zurich. Because

198
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:23,720
everything that I've had from them has
been phenomenal. I pick it up at

199
00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:27,519
my bottle shop here bottles and cans. I don't know if I've seen it

200
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:33,440
at like binnies or places like that, but if you see anything from Roaring

201
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,319
Table by all means, put it
in the carts. I did a YouTube

202
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,640
video on a IPA they did,
so look for that. I did what

203
00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:45,880
it's called all American Burger. I
remember that one being spectacular, But now

204
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:51,799
this fest beer is just killer.
Put it in the cart. Fest beer

205
00:18:51,920 --> 00:19:00,759
from Roaring Table is a winner.
All right. That's going to wrap things

206
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:07,480
up for the Octoberfest edition of Beer
in Front. I thank you very much

207
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,400

get a hold of me, you could

208
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,480
email me Dave at beer infront dot
com or on all the social media channels

209
00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:22,960
at Beer in Front. Couple things
real quick before I say goodbye. One,

210
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,559
if you want to hear the jag
Off segment, wait until the end.

211
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:30,319
If you don't, when the music
stops, you can go on to

212
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:36,279
your next favorite show. I have
an old microphone. If you want to

213
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:40,720
get into podcasting and make like the
billions of dollars that all of us do,

214
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,119
you can if you want to start
podcasting, I have an older mike.

215
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,599
It's a USB mic that you would
just plug into your computer. It's

216
00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:53,720
great, it works great. I
have a better microphone now, but if

217
00:19:53,759 --> 00:20:00,160
you're starting out and you need a
microphone, I can help you out there.

218
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,720
So if you're interested, you know
where to get a hold of me.

219
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,920
All Right, everyone, have a
great week. I will talk to

220
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,200
you next week on beer in front
and remember sometimes the beer in front of

221
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:19,920
you is the best one yet.
All right, I teased it, or

222
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:27,039
the AI voice teased it in the
open. Here is your jag offs of

223
00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:34,119
the week. I have two first, and they're both AI related. There's

224
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:41,720
no human beings behind this. It's
some artificial intelligence bullshit. But the first

225
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:48,079
is good pods. Good pods is
very good to the independent podcaster. I

226
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,079
get a lot of listens on good
pods. Up until last week, I

227
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:59,480
didn't really have a problem with good
pods. But over on the odd pods,

228
00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:06,720
Media and Families, Private discord server. Someone noticed that they were putting

229
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:14,440
some AI show descriptions on a lot
of podcasts, so I had to look

230
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,400
and I'm going to read this verbatim. So this is what the AI machine

231
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:26,119
decided that they want to put out. Goodpods discovers Beer in Front. Beer

232
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:33,079
in Front is an engaging and informative
podcast that celebrates the world of craft beer.

233
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:40,799
Get this. Hosted by passionate beer
enthusiast John Octor Loney, this podcast

234
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:48,039
provides a platform for discussing various beer
styles, breweries, homebrewing tips, and

235
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,039
everything else related to this beloved beverage. And it goes on and on.

236
00:21:53,839 --> 00:22:02,759
No human being wrote this, But
John oct Loney, where in the hell

237
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,720
did you come up with that?
I guess enough people complained. They sent

238
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:12,440
me and a couple other people of
private message. Oh the AI goofed and

239
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:18,680
they took everything down. But John
doctor Loney, good pot, you're a

240
00:22:18,839 --> 00:22:23,960
jag off the other one. Now, you remember last week when I had

241
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,359
the Shower Beer, which I'll probably
never do an episode on that again because

242
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:36,680
I think it ran its course where
no one listened last week, no one,

243
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:42,119
There's very few listeners last week.
So the Shower Beer segment will probably

244
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:47,359
be retired, but I had a
thing on there. If you were one

245
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:53,359
of the four people that listened about
post a picture of family friendly picture over

246
00:22:53,599 --> 00:23:00,400
on social media, including the hashtag
beer in front shower here. Well,

247
00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:06,319
I go to look and see if
any of you knuckleheads did this, and

248
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:14,920
on Instagram they said that hashtag beer
in front shower beer violated community standards.

249
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,240
Now, the only pictures that I
posted I had from shoulder up because no

250
00:23:19,279 --> 00:23:23,359
one wants to see any lower than
that, and it was just on a

251
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,680
promotion for the podcast, so there
were no picks. But there was one

252
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,680
that I cannot see. So,
whoever you are, Instagram block this because

253
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:40,000
of some community standards. So Instagram, you are a bunch of jag offs.
