7
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.800
This is about to be good radio. To me, a craft brewer is

8
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.399
much more of a mindset. We
just opened cans, spread the gospel of

9
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.320
good beer. Beer. Tons and
tons of stuff going on in the beer

10
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.560
world. I love craft beer.
I love different people's beers. It's a

11
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.000
first favorite. Cheers two old US
beer geeks and those new to the craft.

12
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:55.000
What's on Tap High five? This
is What's on Tap radio beer and

13
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.479
the culture that flows with it.
Keears beer Guru James Simpson. Here I

14
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:10.640
am in los Chad till Beam there
he is, Hi, everybody. I'll

15
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.359
take songs I have ever heard since
the eighties. Oh James, James,

16
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.560
that's that's too over the top,
man, that's over the top. Too

17
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:32.239
much Jay Winner takes all when video
game music crosses rock and roll. Welcome

18
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:38.799
to the show. I mean kind
of a weird mood. I would agree.

19
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.159
I'm gonna I'm in a weird mood. I'll tell you why here in

20
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.280
a second. But I'm going to
welcome you to the fine program we have

21
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.359
available for you. We got a
lot of things to talk about, a

22
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:55.159
lot of beers to be consumed before
we get underway. I like to introduce

23
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.719
myself. I am James. That
is Chad Say Hi, Chad, Well,

24
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.519
Hi, thanks for introducing me too. I like to introduce myself,

25
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.280
and I guess I don't get to
introduce myself. Oh cha, do you

26
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:07.919
want to do it for me?
I'll do that. That's why you get

27
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:10.680
the big bucks, that's why you're
on MIC number one. And I find

28
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.400
it interesting that you said you're in
kind of a weird mood. I am.

29
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.400
I am as well, But I
guarantee two very different reasons. I

30
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.520
can't wait to share one. Okay, they say October kind of brings that

31
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:28.520
weird. I don't know if it's
like the changing of the seasons, but

32
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.280
it puts everybody in a funk.
But I'm not really in a funk because

33
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.400
of that reason. But I'll explain
why. But I want to welcome you

34
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:36.560
guys' the show. Got a great
show planned for you. But let's get

35
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.599
them things out of the way by
thanking our sponsors because it's very, very

36
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.599
very important to me. It's like
something I've always done in the ten years

37
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.840
of this show. It started the
show by just thanking our partners at crime

38
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.919
that being Tantric Brewing, Superior Pest
Control, bio Logic, Conference Events,

39
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.159
Remal that Tendeka Insurance Group, the
Backyard Grill and sponsoring the podcast cast branding.

40
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.000
Now, I've heard some rumors that
Chad pill Beam has been hanging out

41
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.159
over the Backyard Grill lately. That's
fun. Yeah, yeah, that's right.

42
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.080
It is a root and toot and
ripper or in action pack fun feel

43
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.199
good old time over there, hang
out with the brew crew and all the

44
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:14.800
tasty beers that are on tap.
But the food at the byg just stop

45
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.560
stop it right now. If you
live in Houston, you know how great

46
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.960
of a culinary city it is.
If you're anywhere else in the world,

47
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.800
you're you're fighting for second place.
Okay, I'm just gonna say it.

48
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.199
I want to tell you something.
So the Backyard Girls inspired my wife.

49
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:30.599
You know, my wife's a cook, right, She's not a professional chef,

50
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:35.919
but she is a very she's a
very good cook. Some people pay

51
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.520
her for her food, they do, she doesn't. She does like this

52
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.759
catering business. And her green beans
that she makes was inspired by the Backyard

53
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.360
Girl. She sat with Mark mcshaffrey. Mark mcshaffery didn't tell her the secrets,

54
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.319
the inside secrets of the green beans, but he kind of gave her,

55
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:53.800
like the you know, some secrets
here and there. She kind of

56
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.360
filled in the gaps and I have
to say, very very delicious. But

57
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.400
this segment is brought to you by
the Backyard Grill, And this segment is

58
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.960
being brought to the table where I'm
bringing a beer, Chad's bringing a beer,

59
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.599
and I hope whatever you're doing safely, I hope enjoying a beer with

60
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.520
us. Now. This is why
I'm in a weird kind of a funk.

61
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.599
If you look at today's dates,
this is the last weekend of October,

62
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:21.839
which means this is probably the last
October Fest I will be bringing to

63
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:26.040
the table for this year. I
knew you were gonna say that James,

64
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.079
I knew it, so I'm kind
of in a weird word about it because

65
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.920
I you know, I went forward
to October Fests all year round and rip

66
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.120
the band aid, go here we
go. It's come to a close,

67
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:42.000
and I'm gonna bring one of the
goats to the to the table. I

68
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.519
haven't brought it this year, and
Chill, I brought a special glass to

69
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.399
pour it in the Samuel Adams Boston
Logger glass. There it is. We

70
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.680
want to take a stab of what
beer Up'm about to put in this glass?

71
00:04:53.720 --> 00:05:01.360
Chad uh spotting m Nope, Oh, Sam Adams, he went with

72
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.199
the Well, you said you were
going with one of the goats. They

73
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.879
this is one of the American craft
beer goats, the Mars. Yeah it

74
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.959
is. But I thought when you
said goat, I thought you were going

75
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.279
old school like the original spot.
I see what you're saying. Yeah,

76
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:16.920
I see that I should have preferenced
it a little bit better. But no,

77
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:23.279
this is the Samuel Adams October Fests, which is always always in my

78
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.800
fridge every October Fest season, and
I've yet to bring it to the table.

79
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.240
So I am going to make good
on it now for probably the last

80
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.480
october Fest I bring to the table
for the twenty twenty three Octoberfest season.

81
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:39.920
So there is copper color, nice, small little head, a little lacing

82
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:46.560
on the glass. But it's just
it's a treat I'm going James is trying

83
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.079
to James is actually slow talking right
now. He normally speeds through the descriptions

84
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:55.240
on the beers and his enthusiasm.
But the problem is is he knows this

85
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.560
is the last one he's gonna open
on the show for a while, and

86
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.000
so he doesn't really want it to
end. So he's finding the words carefully

87
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.600
because he knows this the last time
he's going to talk about october Fest.

88
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.720
Well, I'm gonna bring it on
another october Fest to the show later,

89
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.319
but this is the last episode I'll
probably be bringing an october Fest to the

90
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.199
table. Now. I might be
cracking it throughout the show, but kicking

91
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.600
things off in the first segment.
This might be the last time I'm kicking

92
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.800
it off with the Octoberfest. And
I did it with the Samuel Adams october

93
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:28.319
Fest hardy and smooth at five point
four percent, five point three percent,

94
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.519
I'll call it by volume. Excuse
me one while, all right, So

95
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.560
there I go, and so I'm
gonna let Chad and lighten us what he

96
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.920
brought the table before I die into
the tasing notes and what I get off

97
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.360
the aromas off this october Fest from
Samladams. Well, like I said,

98
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.839
I'm feeling a little bit weird too, because normally we end the show talking

99
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:48.560
about Tantrik Brewing Company in Alegan,
Michigan. Today, kicking off the show

100
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:54.240
in the same spirit as James I
figured last chance. Here it is from

101
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.839
Tap fourteen in the can right here, it is the October Fest from Tantrik

102
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:03.319
Brewing Company, a five point five
percent delicious example of what a mars and

103
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:08.600
beer is. I love this beer. Patrick killed it this year. I've

104
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.360
been bragging it up, telling you
to go over there get it off a

105
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.079
Tap fourteen. But now in the
can, right here now in my glass,

106
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.000
the Michigan support your local Michigan brewery, Kraft Brewers glass. Look at

107
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.920
the beautiful color on that the clarity, beautiful white pillow. We had to

108
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:26.120
take a sip. That is a
fantastic beer. We had it last week

109
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.920
on the show. My god,
so amazing. Had to break. I

110
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.759
had to bring it back. I
wanted to start the show by talking about

111
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:36.160
Tantrick because some big things coming up
this holiday season. But we'll talk more

112
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:41.600
about that later on. I think
we're gonna have Tanya and Patrick back on

113
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:46.360
the show very soon. Nice and
yes, and and and that's what I've

114
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.519
brought to the table, the Tantrik
Brewing Company Octoberfest, Mars and five and

115
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.240
a half percent. James kicks things
off with the Sam Adams goat the one

116
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:59.399
of the og Kraft Beer original Octoberfest
in the Boston Lagger Glass. And that's

117
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.879
brought to the tale, brought to
you by your friends at the Backyard Grill

118
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.040
on the northwest side of Houston.
James, tell everybody what's on tap this

119
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.160
week? Are you ready for Christmas
beers? Because ready or not, here

120
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.439
they come and there's a brewery,
a newly open brewery that's for sale.

121
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.560
They'll tell you who that is.
And all. This is so much more,

122
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.519
including the what's on Tap Radio fun
factor the week which is coming up

123
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:22.279
soon. We'll be right back.
The only thing we throw back on Thursday

124
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:28.319
is a pint of beer or two
or three. This is what's on tap

125
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:35.279
radio. Back to James and Chad, Hey, you know it doesn't matter

126
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.559
what kind of beer you drink?
Do you like it ice cold? Do

127
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.120
you like it served at cellar temperature? Do you like it served in a

128
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.519
fancy glass or just drinking it from
a long neck model. It doesn't matter

129
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:50.399
because everybody who drinks beer loves great
food and you're gonna find both at the

130
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.879

show, Chaz, I, what are

141
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:54.200
you coming back with? Sammy Hagg
whatever Ai decides that we're gonna come back

142
00:09:54.240 --> 00:10:03.679
with Ais our producer. By the
way, is that sad? Now?

143
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:09.840
Now we're replacing our interns and our
producers with artificial intelligence. You know,

144
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:15.279
we never really needed to replace Kimberly, although Kimberly kept us in check.

145
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.240
Yeah she did. I miss Kimberly. Every now and then I'll get an

146
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.759
email from Kimberly, or not an
email, but she'll DM me. Kimberly

147
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.080
for those that are new to the
Wordio program, was our longtime producer,

148
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.240
long time producer, and then she
ended up moving to Austin and kind of

149
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:37.240
left us well. She went on
moved to Austin because during COVID we weren't

150
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.200
getting together and we couldn't afford to
pay her, right, And so yeah,

151
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.000
she ended up taking a job in
Austin and she does very well for

152
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:48.320
herself. And every now and then
she'll just send me something snarky, just

153
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.320
the way, just the way I
like it. I mean, that's that's

154
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.919
just how she was. So she's
like at her quarter million dollar flat in

155
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.600
their it department. Dude, she
drives it. She drives a like a

156
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.039
super loaded tesla. She does.
It's nice looking too, and when the

157
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.279
battery but you know, when the
battery quits on that thing, she's just

158
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.360
gonna she's just gonna leave it right
where it is and put a note on

159
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.600
and say it's yours, and just
look at the case. It's just like,

160
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.039
yeah, I'll go get another.
You know I'm missing check. I'm

161
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.159
gonna send it a har check.
So shout out to you can really we

162
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.960
miss you out there in Austin.
I hope you're doing well. All right,

163
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.639
So let's recap. Brought to the
table. I kick things off this

164
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.799
year, this year, this episode
year, this season, this month with

165
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.799
the Samuel Adams october Fest. I
told you all, I'm kind of in

166
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.399
a funk mood just because only it's
because this is the turning of the season.

167
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:43.320
We're starting to see these october Fest
beers go away, and it kind

168
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.000
of makes me sad because now it's
making room for those pumpkin beers and and

169
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.840
the Christmas beers. Oh thank goodness. Yes, you know. I went

170
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:58.120
to a big box store the other
day and those Christmas decorations are in full

171
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.360
blast. My man. I mean, I want you walk in and they

172
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.120
have the decorations like if Christmas is
next week. Oh yeah, I went

173
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:11.440
to a wholesale club, one of
those warehouses, right, grocery shopping experiences,

174
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.960
and they had the Christmas beers in
the box for like the Advent beers.

175
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.480
Oh, we've talked about this before. You know, those beers have

176
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:24.039
been sitting in that box since like
May. No, they've been sitting there

177
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.360
since last year. All right,
we didn't sell out of these, let's

178
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.840
repackage them. I mean they might
as well, that's what they did.

179
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.240
None of them taste Honestly, I
don't know that any of them really taste

180
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.759
that good. Maybe this year,
I'm gonna make you know what I'm gonna

181
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.120
commit, listeners, hold me accountable. I'm gonna buy one of those boxes,

182
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.720
and I'm gonna do the Advent Beer
calendar, and I will record it

183
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.200
and put it on social media.
There it is, I'm pledging. In

184
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.720
studio s here, I do have
a fridge. I have some Advent beers

185
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.759
from last year. I think I'm
looking at a peanut butter reporter and then

186
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:00.519
there's another stout in there. Maybe
I should crack that they've been aging right

187
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.840
here all right? Anyways, Perfection, that's what it is, Just the

188
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.480
way the broomaster intended. It's been
sitting in a box for a year,

189
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.279
and then when somebody buys it,
your job is to put it in your

190
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:18.039
fridge for another year, and then
only then will it reach its peak and

191
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.720
then crack it open on this fine
radio program. That's the secret, all

192
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.600
right. Let me tell you this, this same Mom's October fift moldy,

193
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:35.000
pleasant sweetness, light hot character.
Mm hmmm. It's hardy but not too

194
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.039
heavy. It's a signal to make
the most of the crisper days ahead.

195
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.519
Chad. As I take a sip, it's like fall. It's here for

196
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.879
limited time. Mm hmm. Yeah. Again at five point three percent alcohol

197
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.799
by volume. I kind of like, how James there's reading that copy.

198
00:13:52.840 --> 00:14:00.679
I'm bosting it's rich and roasty,
all right. And then that Chad had

199
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.320
the mars In from Tantry Brewing Company, which he was in studio last week.

200
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.960
It was nice to have him in
studio and now he brought that and

201
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.559
I'll tell you what, man,
that was a fantastic beer. So shout

202
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.279
out to Patrick Contania for putting out
a great Marsin on Tap fourteen. Yes,

203
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:16.120
this is good one. Here.
Hey, let me ask you a

204
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.240
question, how come people in Boston
don't pronounce their ours? But yet?

205
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.639
So if that's the case, how
do you say rich and roasty? I

206
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.360
don't know if you don't pronounce,
because I'll say pock the ca, yeah

207
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.000
right, right, the ca by
the wada, you know, down by

208
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.960
the wada or we're gonna But then
you get to rich and roasty? How

209
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.240
do you say rich and roasty in
Bostonese? No, I have to ask

210
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.480
my uncle Ted's from Boston. Well, all I know is is that my

211
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.879
mind's just blown. Let's learn something
else now, The official What's on Tap

212
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.399
Radio fun fact of the week,
brought to you by Who's ever checked?

213
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.799
Clear? This week? Oh right, I'm gonna sit back and I'm gonna

214
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.120
get my learning on. This is
where James just says, all right,

215
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.639
chadat go ahead. Well I don't
know if you could tell, but I

216
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.840
sound a little different this week.
Yeah, you lost your voice. You've

217
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.440
been cheering too lally at the Spartan
football games. Shut up, James,

218
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.480
I can't say not our year okay, taught my year either? Man?

219
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.919
My poor kugs? Oh man?
Did we take a beating against Michigan?

220
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.399
In fact, I almost brought two
beers to the table to start things off,

221
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.279
but we lost our stunt beer liver. No, he didn't die,

222
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.559
he just didn't make it here.
So I didn't want to try and open

223
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.360
two beers to start the show.
And we'll save that for another time.

224
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:33.679
But I sound a little raspby because
I had a speaking opportunity that I did

225
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.559
in Houston, and on day two
it started to hit me. I was

226
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.879
getting laryngitis, and that is the
worst thing as a speaker if you are

227
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.519
an MC for an event. I
wanted to know, man, what was

228
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.759
causing it. So the first thing
is, by the way, speaking of

229
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.720
being in a weird mood, I've
got laryngitis and I'm recovering from it and

230
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.799
a sinus infection that goes with it. But speaking of weird mood, people

231
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.519
were asking me, do you have
COVID? And I I like how everything

232
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.159
result like you sneeze, you have
COVID, you coughed, Yep, you

233
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.360
have COVID. I decided I'm gonna
run with it, so I said,

234
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.879
yeah, I do, I said, but not regular COVID. I've got

235
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.080
shark COVID and there's like shark COVID. I said, yeah, I was

236
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:15.480
down in Houston, went down to
Galveston, walked out in the water,

237
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.600
got bit by a shark. I
grabbed a hole of shark, punched it,

238
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.440
drug it up on shore, called
a marine. Biologists said, I

239
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.240
just got bit by this shark.
Will you test it for COVID? They

240
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.639
tested, test out positive. Turns
out I've got shark COVID. But don't

241
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.519
worry. I'm not contagious unless I
bite you. And no joke. Like

242
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.840
ten people that I told that story
to went, so you got bit by

243
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.440
a shark like death. That's what
you took out of the whole story.

244
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:45.120
You actually know what you say?
Pty chat. It sounds like you actually

245
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.919
did. I know. So then
I thought, well, I've been drinking

246
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.320
beer a long time. Surely there's
no way that beer can cause laryngitis.

247
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.879
Until I discovered, Ladies and Gentlemen, your official once on Tap radio fun

248
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.840
fact of the week is that beer
can cause laryngitis. Yeah. I don't

249
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.000
know if you've ever noticed this,
but if you've ever been out on a

250
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.039
bender and you just had a really
late night and you wake up in the

251
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.079
morning and you're like, oh man, and your your voice changes, there

252
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.440
is a reason for that. It's
because alcohol actually goes in there and just

253
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.880
irritates the crap out of your vocal
cords from excessive drinking. It's true,

254
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.799
that's right. Probably part of the
reason why Lagernitas prints on their bottles.

255
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:27.240
Beer speaks. People mumble, oh, there you go. Yeah, beer

256
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.720
tells stories. But after a while, too many young people start slurring their

257
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.119
words. By the way, speaking
of slurring your words and slurring your speech,

258
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.759
you begin to slur your speech when
you reach the blood alcohol content of

259
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:44.079
point one three, two point one
five, depending on I don't know which

260
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.920
individual we're testing, but science has
spoken from point one three to point one

261
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.319
five, your blood alcohol content results
in slurred speech. But back to this

262
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:59.160
laryngitis thing. Here turns out that
even Buffy the Vampire Slayer had an episode

263
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.559
called Beer Bad where people were drinking
bad beer, and before it turned them

264
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:08.519
into raging apes that attacked people,
the first thing they lost was their speech,

265
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.319
their ability to speak. Oh yeah, yeah, before they turned into

266
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.200
raging apes, they lost their ability
to speech. But alcohol dries out your

267
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:22.680
mouth and your vocal cords, and
excessive drinking can cause vocal nodules and polyps

268
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.559
that need to be surgically removed,
So don't overdo it. Now you're thinking

269
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.960
about this, Okay, I'm gonna
go ahead and I'm gonna look and see.

270
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.920
Does beer cause the other thing to
happen? Not you to lose your

271
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:34.839
voice, but gain your voice?
It does, and ladies and gentlemen.

272
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:41.319
According to the Urban Dictionary, it
is a phenomenon known as beer lungs where

273
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.680
you start yelling after getting drunk and
you may develop a condition according to the

274
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.359
Urban Dictionary, known as beer ears, where you listen to yourself and think

275
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.400
you're way more funny than you're not. So you'r official What's on Tap Radio

276
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.960
fun Fact of the week or fun
facts are that beer can cause long term

277
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:02.559
layringitis and you start learning your speech
from point one three to point one five

278
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:06.440
blood alcohol content. Beer lungs is
when you yell after getting drunk, and

279
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:10.119
beer ears is when you think you're
more funny when you're really not. It

280
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.759
probably makes you think you're just a
better singer as well. Don't do that.

281
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.440
There you go, put me on
stage. I'll prove something. There

282
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.240
you go, your official What's on
tap reo Fun Factor the Week. Ah,

283
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:22.079
it's a good one. All right, we got to take a break,

284
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:25.200
but still to come. We're going
to talk about, Oh Sammy Hagar's

285
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.720
in the news, and we were
going to talk about are you ready for

286
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.480
Christmas beers? Because ready or not? Here they come. We'll be right

287
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.160
back. And the teacher said,
no, Bobby, there's no such time

288
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:55.119
as beer o'clock. Fire that teacher. This is what's on tap radio.

289
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:06.039
Alright, dive into some stories.
Try to save Chad's voice recovering from stop

290
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:11.839
it lingitis. You know what was
interesting about that is you mentioned right the

291
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:18.400
end of that segment is that probably
makes you think you sing better. And

292
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:23.160
it turns out vocal coaches will tell
you not to drink alcohol when you're singing,

293
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:29.039
because not only does it irritate your
vocal chords and which also brings your

294
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.480
voice down an octave or brings down
to the lower level, but it relaxes

295
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:38.640
your vocal chords to where you don't
have to strain necessarily as heart or you

296
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.480
have to strain harder. And then
what you do is is you tend to

297
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:48.559
overcompensate on your on your your voice, so you over sing the notes and

298
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.400
hence that goes back to beer lungs
where you start thinking you're talking at a

299
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.920
normal level, but you really are. You're much louder. You see the

300
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.279
video of yourself the next morning,
like, oh god, I can you

301
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.480
delete that video? Oh that's embarrassing. Care why? But you know,

302
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:10.079
when you're doing karaoke, you sound
just like Neil Young, and you sound

303
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:14.799
just like Bruce Springsteen. You know, you just you do. And then

304
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:21.279
you see the video the next morning
you're like, oh that's bad man,

305
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.839
Billy Joel never sounded any better.
Oh man, anyways, but uh,

306
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.279
you know, it's all good fun, right, It's all good fun.

307
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:34.720
Sure it is, until somebody has
to sit there sober and say, why

308
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:38.359
am I listening to this? Oh? My ears are bleeding? But I

309
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:41.720
know. Meanwhile, we do karaoke. We do karaoke here at studio ass

310
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.640
a lot. My wife's pretty good. I'm not, but I always have

311
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.519
to have some liquid courage before I
can get up there and start singing my

312
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:53.400
Tiny Dancer. But in my head
I sound just like Elton John But in

313
00:21:53.440 --> 00:22:02.160
reality I sound like a dog being
like it's tail being stepped on. Oh

314
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:04.079
man, you know what we we
We kicked the show off with a couple

315
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.160
of beers and Winter Takes All You
and I you don't. We got to

316
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.200
do. We had to have Winter
Takes All. Loser has to sing Toxic

317
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.920
by Britney Spears. We've done that
bit. We've done it. You know.

318
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.039
We've done a lot of bits on
this show and the history of this

319
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:23.079
the show. We've done now of
the best. We had a brewer for

320
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:26.279
those of you knew to the show
and if you maybe if you've been a

321
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.079
long time listener, you forgot,
but uh it was Wind Benz w of

322
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:37.599
uh Lake is like woodlake Wood Brewery, lake Wood Brewery up in in uh

323
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.799
just outside of Dallas, Texas.
And we had him on the show and

324
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.160
he's he's like, guys, I
gotta wrap this up. I gotta go,

325
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.440
I gotta go do karaoke. We're
like, we have whatever. He's

326
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.079
like, no, I do karaoke, and like he's like a real guy

327
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.599
that like gets all into it.
And right in studio we're like, all

328
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.599
right, what are you sing?
He's like toxic Britney Spears really bull crap.

329
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:57.559
No no, no, no no
no. I asked what are you

330
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.279
singing? And he's asking anything.
I'm like okay, and so he pulls

331
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:06.240
out this list like Santa claus Christmas
list, and he told one of us

332
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:08.119
to pick any song that's right,
because he said he was gonna sing them

333
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:12.039
all the night. Yeah, and
so we chose Toxic by Britney Spears and

334
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:17.759
he belted it out. And that
was after drinking beer with us in studio.

335
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:19.039
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we
were done with the show. I

336
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:22.079
was like, dang, that's something
else, man. But anyway, we're

337
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.440
living in the past. Let's move
forward. What's going on in the world

338
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.880
today. Speaking of moving forward,
now, we're starting to see Christmas beers

339
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.319
on the shelves making an early return. That's the future. That's not now.

340
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:37.839
Are you ready? It is now? Are you ready? I kid

341
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.000
you not, man, because I
went to my local beer retailer the other

342
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:47.680
day and I started seeing those Christmas
beers. I saw three particular Christmas beers

343
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:52.200
that I'm a fan of, and
one I really I picked up. And

344
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.640
the first one was the twenty first
Amendment Fireside Chat Winter Ale. Okay,

345
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.640
yeah, that's it. If you're
not familiar, that's the San Francisco based

346
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:07.240
brewery. But isn't it, I
boo, No, it's English Star English

347
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.039
style strong al Okay, So all
right, rich and dark, bold flavor,

348
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:17.200
perfect for the weather cooler months.
Uh seven point nine close. Uh.

349
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:21.400
Then another one of my favorites,
Sierra Nevada Celebration Fresh Hoop. I'm

350
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:25.599
as oh, no, way,
that's out already. Mm hmmm, I'm

351
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:29.200
looking at such a good beer.
First brood in nineteen eighty one, Serra

352
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:33.599
Nevadac Celebration Freshop six point eight percent
ABV. It's in any a pale al

353
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.640
for those that didn't know. But
uh, if you that beer, I'm

354
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:40.079
telling you right now, I'm afraid
if they made that beer year round,

355
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:42.720
they wouldn't sell enough of people get
over the hype and and it would go

356
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:47.880
away. I'm glad it's a seasonal
release, but I'm telling you when that

357
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:49.160
comes out, every time I go
to the store, I don't care if

358
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.119
it's regular price on sale, I
pick up a twelve pack. No,

359
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:57.839
that's there, such a freshop.
And then uh, coming back to Texas

360
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:00.000
the ship and I guess, can
I guess? Can I guess what the

361
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:04.279
last one is? Yeah? Yeah, anchor are very special Christmas sale.

362
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.559
Oh my god, wouldn't it be
cool they didn't have that? Oh?

363
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:11.279
No, no, no, yeah, if you didn't hear that news earlier

364
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:14.599
this year. But no, what
it is on the shelf is the Shiner

365
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:18.200
Holiday Year. Oh there you go. Made with pecans and peaches, those

366
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:26.359
flavors enhanced through traditional German brewing techniques. Carbonating a beer for Christmas, I

367
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.319
guess it is. Apparently with this
beer Shiner Holiday Cheer, the dark multi

368
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.920
five dunkle Vison. If it's in
it's wait, it's Holiday Cheers. A

369
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:41.559
dunkle vison with peaches. Yeah,
crafted with pecans and peaches, whose flavors

370
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:47.799
are enhanced through krusing a traditional German
brewing technique for carbonating beer before, during,

371
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:52.799
and after fermentation. Sasha Tibo's losing
his mind right now. It is

372
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.599
what it is, but uh yeah, it's a dunkle Vison dark wheat ale.

373
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.160
It takes an old world tradition in
a truly his direction. So these

374
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:04.079
are some three of the holiday beers. And I'm starting to see on the

375
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.359
shelves. It won't be long before
I start seeing that Saint Arnold Christmas ale.

376
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.559
I love that one. That's an
old ale. That's gonna be hitting

377
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.160
the shelves, I'm sure pretty soon. If it's not there yet, well,

378
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.799
I don't know. I don't know
about putting peaches in my winter beers.

379
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:22.519
I guess, I guess the pecans. Maybe you know, help it

380
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.480
out. I don't know. I'm
not so. But are you are you

381
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:29.319
ready for pump are you pumpkin beer? Are you ready for Christmas beers?

382
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.480
It depends. I mean, you
know what, at this point, this

383
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.240
is what I'm gonna say. I'm
gonna go ahead and I'm gonna make a

384
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.839
statement. I'm gonna make this my
new I don't know manifesto. Chad Pilbeam

385
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:44.000
no longer cares when you release any
beer, because you know what, it

386
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:47.799
doesn't matter what I think. You're
gonna release it whenever the heck you want

387
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:51.079
to release it. It's gonna hit
the shelves and we're all gonna have the

388
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:55.039
same reaction. Came out so early, and they're gonna be gone before in

389
00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:59.640
the scene's over. I'm done.
I'm done. I mean I'm done trying

390
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.680
to figure it out. You're done
trying to understand it. I can't change

391
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.200
anything about it. I can't do
anything about it. I need to just

392
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:07.880
drink it. You're not wrong,
because Christmas Day you're gonna start seeing spring

393
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:12.160
beers on the shelves, the spring
box, in my box where they show

394
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.759
up. If that's when they show
up, I'm fine with it. Chat.

395
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:22.480
I have released the tension and the
aggravation of being irritated by when brewers

396
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.680
release that beer. I mean,
I get why they do it. I

397
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:29.519
get why they do it because you
know, like I said, we talked

398
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.559
about this over and over, it's
like beating a dead horse. Nobody drinks

399
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:34.720
october Fest beers in November. I
don't know why, but they don't.

400
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:38.319
For some odd reason, they don't, and so they have to sell them

401
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:44.319
before November first, because otherwise those
sit on the shelves That's why they start

402
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:48.400
pumping them out in you know,
early July you'll start seeing october Fest beers

403
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.839
being distributed out. Well, all
right, so we know that peaches don't

404
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.000
belong in holiday beers. That let's
ask a pull. Let's let's put a

405
00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.799
pull out there. Do peaches belong
in Christmas beers? I don't know,

406
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:07.200
all right, Well, all I
know is ingredients that are additives that don't

407
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.960
belong in your beer. One thing, for certain, urine. Do not

408
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.160
put urine in your beer. And
I know some people out there thinking right

409
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:17.599
now about making I know James,
like, when did this ever cross anybody's

410
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:21.680
mind? Well, in China,
it crossed somebody's mind because a lot of

411
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:23.160
you might be thinking, oh,
wait, are you making a Corona joke,

412
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:26.079
because there was a lot of joke
about how the brewers and Corona makers

413
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:30.240
of Corona used to put urine in
their beer. By the way, urban

414
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:36.000
legend, not true. But a
video released from a popular online platform in

415
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:41.119
China called I Believe It's Webo I'm
not familiar with it showed an employee at

416
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:48.480
the Qingtao Brewery urinating on raw ingredients. The company has since contacted the police

417
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.680
and investigations underway, and one of
China's biggest bigger makers has said that an

418
00:28:52.680 --> 00:29:00.759
investigation is ongoing of the video showing
an employee urinating on the ingreen and another

419
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:07.079
employee who video recorded the entire thing. Wait, somebody, it wasn't It

420
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.799
wasn't like a security camera as someone
actually videoed it. Well, there's somebody

421
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.519
who videoed it in the security camera
caught them both. So like the guy,

422
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:17.039
there's a guy like, hey,
dude, I'm gonna go pee on

423
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:19.240
these ingredients and he goes in there
and then his buddy recorded it. Well,

424
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:25.400
the security footage caught the whole thing. Wow, oh yeah, that's

425
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:33.119
oh that's disgusting. Yes it is. Oh yes. So they were happy

426
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:37.279
to report that at present, the
batch of malt in question has been completely

427
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.440
sealed. Well that's good. We
got it on lockdown, guys, but

428
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.640
this one's not going out. Okay, Well that makes sense, and they

429
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:48.039
are now re evaluating their procedures for
security and product quality and not that I'm

430
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.000
sure that they need to really evaluate
product quality because they stopped it. So

431
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:59.119
that's good. But an updated report
indicates that the duo were not direct hires

432
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:03.720
of the employee of Chingtao Brewery in
China, but rather they were external hires.

433
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:08.759
Oh that those third party employees angry
about not getting benefits or something.

434
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:12.160
I don't know. I just made
up that part. But Chingtoo Brewery has

435
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:18.240
reported that employees are being investigated.
Two particular employees are being investigated for urinating

436
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:23.480
on raw ingredients, which reminds us
all, never ever add urine to your

437
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.519
beer. Oh my god, that's
disgusting. Yeah, they're gonna get a

438
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.680
lot of trouble for that. All
right, Well, you gotta take a

439
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:33.559
break. Who knows what they're gonna
do. We go from here, all

440
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.440
right, I got an idea.
Let's talk about a newly open brewery that's

441
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.400
up for sale. We'll say the
details coming out. We'll be right back.

442
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:47.200
Beer has hops, hops or plants. Plants make salad, So beer

443
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:52.599
is salad? Yeah? What's on
Taparty? James and Chad talking about beer

444
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:17.759
all the season? Took this moment

451
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:44.640
question out this week that you know, these Christmas beers are starting to start

452
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:47.319
to pop up on the shelves.
Are you ready? Are you ready for

453
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:49.480
them? Maybe you are? Maybe
you are one of those folks that are

454
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.440
like, hey, I've already started
decorating my house for Christmas, even though

455
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:59.559
we haven't gotten past you know,
Thanksgiving. But maybe you're just one of

456
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:05.079
those people. I'm not, but
maybe you are. Do you do you

457
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.200
all out there and get those Christmas
beers the second they land on the shelves,

458
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:13.279
even though it's not that cold out
there. Uh, James, Yeah,

459
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:17.279
pure Michigan. That's all I'm gonna
say. Dude. Yeah, it's

460
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:22.440
I forget we are not already time. We forget that we're in you know,

461
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:24.960
heard in all parts of the country
and they experienced different all parts of

462
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.759
the world. That's right. And
uh, but where I'm broadcasting, it's

463
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:37.400
still a very humid eighty five degrees
outside it is. And I want to

464
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.680
say when I visited recently, had
a great time, beautiful weather. It

465
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:45.640
was a nice change of pace,
even though I got shark COVID because I

466
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:50.279
got, you know, bit by
a shark. And yeah, it's so

467
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:52.599
if you if you if you missed
it earlier. What happened was I walked

468
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:57.599
out into the ocean there in the
Gulf of Mexico Galveston, just trying to

469
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.519
enjoy my time down there in Houston, and I I got bit by a

470
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:02.319
shark and I punched it, drug
it up on shore and after a marine

471
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:09.119
biologist confirmed the shark had COVID,
but I wasn't contagious unless I bite somebody.

472
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.559
And people actually believe that story.
And that's why my voice sounds like

473
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:19.440
the way it does, because I
have shark COVID. It's a thing now.

474
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:22.680
I was just irritated. I was
just irritated that I got Larry Ginis.

475
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:24.519
While speaking, people kept saying,
Oh, you have got COVID.

476
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:29.519
YEP, so you had some fun
with shark COVID. You had some fun

477
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:32.079
with it. Speaking of having some
fun, I love stories like this.

478
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:38.759
This comes across our desk overy now
and then, and I relate to it.

479
00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:42.720
It's a story about a strange beer
bottle that was found any wall of

480
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:46.680
a house in Delaware, that piqued
an interest on the internet. And this

481
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:51.400
guy who's a contractor says, I
have never found anything like this. After

482
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:58.920
seventeen years and over three thousand demolition
inspections of every type of building or facility

483
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:04.480
you can think of, I've never
stumbled across a bottle while conducting hazardous material

484
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:08.519
survey. A bottle of beer,
that is. And the whole inspection team

485
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:14.199
was surprised. They initially thought it
was a bottle filled with urine. Speaking

486
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:19.800
of urine, because many times throughout
their career, drywall workers are notorious for,

487
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:22.880
you know, just not taking breaks
and urinating your bottles. You're on

488
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:24.480
the job and it's like, okay, you don't want to try and find

489
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:28.559
a bathroom. You're like, you
know what, beg's the question though,

490
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:31.800
It's like you were somehow left on
supervised and able to drink on the job,

491
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:35.960
and so you pee in a beer
bottle. I I don't know,

492
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.440
I don't know. I well,
I do know. After hours, they'll,

493
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:42.159
you know, after they're done working, they'll put their hearts down,

494
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:45.400
yea, they and then they'll you
know, crack a beer open. And

495
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:47.400
that might have been the case,
but in this case it was not.

496
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:52.880
It was not a bottle full of
urine. It was actually a bottle,

497
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:58.119
a very old bottle from Gunther Brewing
Company. And it was a brewery in

498
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:04.480
Baltimore, Maryland, and with the
heritage predating Prohibition and operated until nineteen sixty

499
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.880
when it was purchased by Ham's Brewing
Company, which was later a part of

500
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:12.920
Miller Brewing Company. Gunthro was the
second largest brewing company in Baltimore until nineteen

501
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:17.000
fifty nine. Producing upwards to eight
hundred thousand barrels a year in employing six

502
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:21.599
hundred people. And the house in
question was less than one hundred years old

503
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:25.039
and is being demolished to make a
parking lot. And the house was in

504
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:29.719
very poor condition. So they started
doing some demo when they found this very

505
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:34.880
old beer bottle and it says it
was a message on it, when in

506
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:39.119
fact the message was just the plumber
signed it. But the date of the

507
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:45.199
of the beer nineteen fifty nine.
Now, what was the what was the

508
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:47.599
message on there? The message was
just the dates of the they put the

509
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:52.639
bottle in there and buy a plumber, right, Okay. First thing I'm

510
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:58.280
gonna say is, hey, work
on your copy, okay, because that's

511
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:02.760
not good copy. If you're gonna
leave something behind for somebody to find twenty

512
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:08.159
thirty sixty one hundred years later,
and you want them to go wow,

513
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:13.159
like that's amazing, Wow look at
that. I mean, yeah, I

514
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:15.960
know we're talking about it, but
you gotta do better on the copy.

515
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:20.000
I mean, you can't just leave
a message just left here by a plumber

516
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:25.679
on this date boring. I tell
me you'd do better, James, tell

517
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:29.519
me you would do better. So
I can kind of relate to this story.

518
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:34.000
So in what you know, was
it twenty twenty one when we had

519
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.360
this, Dude, that's the year
you're not supposed to mention, No,

520
00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:39.320
I said, twenty twenty one.
Oh yeah, we had this hard freeze

521
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:47.239
come through Southeast Texas and our houses
aren't built for these kind of storms,

522
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:52.280
and so what happened is a lot
of our homes the pipes burst because our

523
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:57.760
pipes are actually in our ceilings.
And I know that's going to surprise a

524
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.679
lot of people in other parts of
the country. And who the right mind

525
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:04.280
would put water pipes in the ceilings. That's what they do here and are

526
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.920
part of the country. And so
one of my pipes burst at my hose

527
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:12.400
and water was everywhere, and of
course I had to shut the water off,

528
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:15.840
and then we had to replace the
drywall because you know, water damaged

529
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:22.639
a lot of things. And when
we put the drywall back up, I

530
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:29.840
inserted a few beer cans in the
wall and I wrote a note from the

531
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:35.519
storm of twenty twenty one, and
I put the dates and that's all I

532
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:37.320
really put. Chat. Okay,
but that's but see that you didn't just

533
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:42.519
say I was doing some home improvement
projects and decided to hide beer in my

534
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.639
wall, also from a plumber.
No, you you put on there the

535
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:50.199
date of the storm, and people
would say, wait a minute, I

536
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:53.840
remember that. You know, pipes
burst, drywall need to be replaced.

537
00:37:54.199 --> 00:38:00.840
Here's a guy that decided to commemorate
that horrible event by drinking beer and leaving

538
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:06.159
a remnant for somebody else in the
future to find. That's all right,

539
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:09.719
It's not necessarily creative, but it's
momentous. Right. The other guy is

540
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:15.639
just like feeling kind of cute,
thought I'd leave a beer can. I

541
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:17.440
put actually two beer cans in there. They're empty. I didn't put full

542
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:22.840
beers. They were empty. Hold
on what brand beer? Buffalo by your

543
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:27.960
brewing company? I put the Oh
god, what what? I don't even

544
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.719
remember what the beers I put in
there. Crush City, Yeah, probably

545
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:36.280
Crushed City, Great White Buffalo,
more cow Bell. No, it wasn't

546
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:39.800
More cow It was probably Crush City, and maybe uh, Great White Buffalo.

547
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:45.559
I was gonna say on pins and
I don't remembers. It was years

548
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:49.840
ago. It was years ago,
and I was afraid to actually put a

549
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.840
full beer in there because I was
afraid because it was in the wall,

550
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.519
and it gets very very hot off
that brick, and I afraid it is

551
00:38:55.519 --> 00:39:00.840
gonna explode in the wall. There
there are two things we need to know,

552
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:05.199
because Fire Marshal Matt has two questions. You answered one of them.

553
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:07.840
Okay, what kind of beer cans
did you put in the wall? Here's

554
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:10.039
the most important question, and it's
an inside joke, but don't worry.

555
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:15.719
I'll explain in a minute. Did
you use shark bite fittings to replace your

556
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:21.199
pipes? I don't know. I
had a contractor do that. Oh okay,

557
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:22.880
all right, Yeah, I didn't
do it myself. I didn't do

558
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:27.320
myself. I actually had actually neighbor
Victor did it for me, and I

559
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:30.360
paid them a beer and then we
put I purposely put two beer cans in

560
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:35.239
the wall with a little note.
So when they demo this house, now

561
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:37.239
this is not the house I live
in. Now, this is the house

562
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:40.679
I lived in during the time.
Yeah, it's somebody else's problem. But

563
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.000
you just close that on a sellar
agreement, you did. I didn't know

564
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:46.800
that. You know, at the
time, we were, you know,

565
00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:50.679
gonna move out of that house,
you know, six months later. Otherwise

566
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:52.400
I probably would have put two full
beers in there, but I didn't I

567
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:55.679
put two empty cans in there.
Sonny, you say that maybe there'll be

568
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:59.840
a story years from now, thirty
years from now. Two beer cans fell

569
00:39:59.920 --> 00:40:05.039
in in a home in Katie,
Texas. When I left Texas for Michigan,

570
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:07.840
I left a beer fridge full of
beer for the new homeowner. And

571
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:12.679
then turns out he doesn't drink,
so that didn't work out the way I

572
00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:15.079
had hoped. But the reason I
asked about shark bite is because we had

573
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:22.199
a former listener of What's on tab
Radio reach out and chastise Fire Marshal Matt,

574
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:28.800
who's also a mechanical engineer, and
tell him that shark bite fittings were

575
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:31.280
the cheap man's way to go and
they don't work, and Fire Marshal MAT's,

576
00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:36.039
like every engineer in the world,
says they do, so I don't

577
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:38.280
know how to. So they got
mad at each other, yelled, and

578
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:42.239
they never drank a beer together again. Interesting. Yeah, I'm not sure

579
00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:44.679
what kind of fittings they were,
but there are two beer cans in a

580
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:46.800
house in Katie, Texas. So
all right, we're gonna take a break.

581
00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:49.840
Coming up next hour, we got
a lot to get to, including

582
00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:52.079
a whole my beer and watch this
and we'll tell you this brewery that's for

583
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:57.079
sale. All right, We're going
to eat healthy and start exercising today.

584
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:19.639
Oh look, beer beer, what's

that. No, you know what
that is? Why? It's because number

593
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:58.599
one, we believe in creating value. First. Second, we have wonderful

594
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:02.239
sponsors who make it possible for us
to bring you this fine program like kind

595
00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:06.960
of like how we started off the
show Tantrick Brewing Company, october Fest Beer

596
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:12.920
I Cracked open James had an october
Fest and move into our number two and

597
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:15.199
without any stunt beer livers like we
had recently, Man, we had two

598
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:20.320
stunt beer livers and we were in
the same studio. We put down some

599
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:22.480
beers. That was fun. Yeah, check out our social media, Man,

600
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:25.519
we got pictures and the beers we
consume. There's a good time.

601
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:29.599
I love having to get the opportunity
to do that every now and then.

602
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:32.840
But it is fun. It is
fun. It is fun. But but

603
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:37.840
yeah, speaking of more beer,
I'm gonna go ahead and tap into the

604
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:43.800
old beer seller from when I went
over and saw our buddy Mikey g Radio

605
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:49.079
Kia cuck over in Iowa. Yeah, I picked up some beer while I

606
00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:52.039
was over there and all along the
way and this is a brewery that I

607
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:58.559
don't know anything about, but they're
out of Illinois. It's Triptic Brewing t

608
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:02.599
r I P t y c H
triptick. I hope I'm saying that correctly.

609
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:08.400
And I'm gonna tell you this is
a perfect example of where beer names

610
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:13.760
and artwork sell the beer. And
then I confirmed it on untapped and it

611
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:19.920
has a really good rating. But
Tryptic Brewing, this is the A Wizard

612
00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:25.639
is never late. Taking a line
from what Is It? The Hobbit series

613
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:30.960
that what is It? The Lord
of the rings Okay series, The wizard

614
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:34.599
is never late. This is a
double dry hop double India pale ale,

615
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:38.760
and I love this. Through the
golden haze filled with dank notes of fruit

616
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:45.159
and green, you suddenly recall that
our beers always arrive precisely when they mean

617
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:50.920
to, which sometimes means not at
all. Oh that's deep. That's more

618
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:57.199
than fortune cookie wisdom right there.
And this is a oh deliciously smelling,

619
00:43:57.360 --> 00:44:01.599
oh dank piney touch a sit but
the nose on that is pine and dank.

620
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:05.320
Oh, it's almost like a big
old bag of weed, which well

621
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:08.519
maybe has you feeling like you're a
wizard. But get the honker down in

622
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:13.840
my support your local Michigan craft brewer
glass. Thank you Tantrick Brewery for hooking

623
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:21.880
me up with that. And mm
hm how the taste tandar chad that that

624
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:25.000
uh man, I'm telling you right
now, this thing arrived right at when

625
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.280
I needed it. That's perfect.
A wizard is never late. A double

626
00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:32.440
dry hopped double India palal. I
need more of this in my life.

627
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:42.079
This is delicious. Citra and Apollo
hopped the eight percent ABV from Triptic Brewing

628
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:44.920
out of somewhere out of Illinois.
What city is this in Illinois? I

629
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:47.039
see if I can name it.
Oh, Savoy, never Been, never

630
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:51.039
Been. Sounds like a lovely town
though, sound here they make They got

631
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:53.079
a great brewery there, go check
them out in Savoy, Illinois. But

632
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:57.440
this is what I'm bringing the table, and uh, well, what I'm

633
00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:00.199
drinking in hour number two? All
right, I'll mean cracking a beer here

634
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.039
soon, but we got to do
this first. Hold to my beer and

635
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:07.719
watch this brought to you by the
ring Melda ten Hacen Insurance Group where they'll

636
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:12.440
cover you for everything except this.
Now, I had a listener send this

637
00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.840
story to me, and I,
for the life of me, cannot remember

638
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:17.760
whether or not I did this story. It sounds familiar, but then I

639
00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:22.800
check the archives and I don't see
it. But if I have, let's

640
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:27.199
revisit it because it's a good one. Well, here's the thing, James.

641
00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:32.639
There are too many stories where people
start throwing crap at people who won't

642
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:37.559
sell them beer. And sometimes it's
beer they're throwing out it people. Sometimes

643
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:43.360
it's you know, weapons. Oh
yeah, I've seen people throw keys,

644
00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:45.239
keys, all sorts of things,
which doesn't make sense because when you throw

645
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:47.440
your keys, It's like all right
now what like, hey, oh,

646
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:51.840
by the way, can I need
those I gotta get my apartments. Can

647
00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:54.480
I get those keys back? But
this is the first time I've actually heard

648
00:45:54.599 --> 00:46:00.280
of a man being locked up for
assault with a delicious weapon, not a

649
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:06.719
deadly weapon. A delicious weapon.
Say twenty three year old man from you

650
00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:12.480
guessed it, Florida, and he
was arrested after assaulting a couple of Walgreens

651
00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:17.400
employees one Monday morning. So what
happened was he went into Walgreens about one

652
00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:22.960
twenty am because he wanted some smokes. He wanted some cigarettes, but the

653
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:28.280
workers refused and told him to leave. It was unclear why he was denied,

654
00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:32.519
but apparently he was very very intoxicated, so that probably had something to

655
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:36.559
do with it, probably a little
bit, a little bit. Well,

656
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:39.079
this didn't go overwhel with the guy, Chad. He was very very furious.

657
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:45.400
So I'm paying customer, damn it. So he started throwing snicker bars

658
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:51.960
at the employees. He struck a
female worker in the face, a male

659
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:55.480
worker was hitting the chest. Good
news is neither her employee was really injured

660
00:46:55.480 --> 00:47:00.559
by the sticker bars, but the
man was arrested in charge on two counts

661
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:05.480
of mistermeanor battery, and was later
released after posting a thousand dollars bond,

662
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:09.280
which these days is enough to buy
about five hundred snicker bars or about ten

663
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:15.960
packs of cigarettes. Started doing some
math there. I wanted to see if

664
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:22.079
h oh, snickers always satisfies right
that the saying, you know, I

665
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:25.599
guess, I'm thinking. Here's the
situation. They had the candy bars right

666
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:29.760
next to the register, and you
know, they were working to sell them

667
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.440
cigarettes, and he just got mad, picked up the first day he saw

668
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:37.199
and happened to be a stickers bar
and threw it at him. But luckily,

669
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.079
like I said, nobody was seriously
injured. But the sticker bars were

670
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:44.960
pretty hurt though, So you're hold
my beer and watched this this week.

671
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:50.400
A drunk guy, A drunk guy
through sticker bars at a Walgreen clerk because

672
00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:55.960
they wouldn't sell them cigarettes. This
guy's need some anger management classes and he

673
00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:00.320
needs to go to AA. I
mean, because just be honest, if

674
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:06.800
you're twenty three and you're walking into
a Walgreens at one twenty am by the

675
00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:08.800
way, right, yeah, which
I don't know, I don't know,

676
00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:15.679
you know, somebody found it interesting
here because the liquor laws in Michigan are

677
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:17.559
a little bit different everywhere around the
world. And in Michigan you can go

678
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:22.760
to a Walgreens and you can get
your prescription medication and you can buy liquor.

679
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:25.000
Yeah, you can't have that.
And I don't know my part of

680
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:30.599
the country and that, and you
know what, but I if you have

681
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:35.320
an establishment that sells prescription medication and
liquor and you need insurance, I'm sure

682
00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:39.000
bringing all the ten Hagen can cover
you because it's legal in Michigan and that's

683
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:42.480
where they're located, right here in
West Michigan. Well, I want to

684
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:45.519
thank our listeners going by going to

687
00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:52.440

Welcome back to What's on top radio.

697
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:53.719
Time for me to crack another beer, my second beer. I have finished

698
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:59.760
my october Fest from Samuel Adams,
but I'm gonna continue with the theme while

699
00:49:59.760 --> 00:50:06.199
I hand, because we are in
our last week of Octoberfest season, well,

700
00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:10.000
I mean Octoberfest season kind of started
wrapping up, you know Munich ins

701
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:17.480
is it a first weekend and all
of October that Munich October I don't remember,

702
00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:21.039
Yeah, I think it was.
I think anyways, wrapped up first

703
00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:23.599
weekend. But I'm still been enjoying
the Octoberfest beers, you know, since

704
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:28.480
it is that season. But now
we've talked about how the seasons are changing

705
00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:31.320
people's allergies. Are going to getting
into them. Chad's voice is changing.

706
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:36.039
I mean covid. Yeah, it's
sart covid, That's what it is.

707
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:38.639
But I'm gonna continue just rolling with
it while I can. I'm gonna milk

708
00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:44.199
it while all I can. And
this time from Saint Arnold Brewing Company,

709
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:51.639
the Guten Tog toasty and clean Barbarian
style lagger. I like that beer.

710
00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:55.559
It's a great beer. I'm a
fan of Guten Tog Center Brewing Company.

711
00:50:55.639 --> 00:51:00.159
They make so many good beers,
and you know, they have a whole

712
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:05.679
line of I guess it's like a
seasonal rotation of beers that come out.

713
00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:08.760
And I remember back when it was
just I think it was three seasonals.

714
00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:14.199
They had three round, year round
beers and three seasonals. And now they're

715
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:17.719
they're cranking out so much beer.
But they had they had winter stout that

716
00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:23.920
my box, and then summer pills
there. Uh yep, there's summer summer

717
00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:28.000
pills. You're right, it was
it was it the spring spring, yeah,

718
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:31.800
and then they had the winter stout
so springbok, winter stout summer no

719
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:36.239
no, no, no, yeah, but they had the Christmas all as

720
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:37.480
well. Okay, you're good,
call, right, so they had four

721
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:43.639
Yeah, there was four seasonals and
three year round beers and uh yeah,

722
00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:45.840
bonus fun fact if you can figure
out the name of the first original three

723
00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:50.079
beers. I know. But anyway, moving on about that beer, all

724
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:54.559
right, so let me talk you. Take a swing of this great crisp

725
00:51:54.599 --> 00:52:00.559
and clean flavor. The malt provides
a hang on mm hmm, a nice

726
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:07.000
toasty and ready complexity. Oh yeah, the hops are kind of restrained to

727
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:13.199
allow this soft and elegant finish.
And this comes to about five percent alcohol

728
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:15.079
by volume. That's what I'm getting
as I take a swig of this.

729
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:20.400
There's a journalism student out there who
just got an a for writing that copy

730
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:28.519
for James. So ready to go
kid again. This is the Saint Arnold

731
00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:32.920
Gluten Gluten Guten Talk. Yeah there
is gluten in there, but also guten

732
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:37.039
toalg Guten talk at five point eight
percent alcohol by volume, and uh yeah,

733
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:40.719
this is kind of like one of
the last october Fest style marsins I

734
00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:44.320
have. I still have a few
more in the fridge that I'll be bringing,

735
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:46.159
but I mean I won't be bringing
to the table, but I'll be

736
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:52.079
bringing through the show. Right now, Guten tag is German for bring me

737
00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:55.719
another beer. Yes, yes,
I think that's what it means. Yes,

738
00:52:55.719 --> 00:53:00.360
that's exactly. By the way,
I'm not fluent in German, fluent

739
00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:04.159
in any other language other than English. And some people say I even struggle

740
00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:09.239
with that because I have laryngitis.
I'm recovering from no shark covid shark covid.

741
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:14.239
I have a I have a question
for those listeners out there. But

742
00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:16.599
we got we got a couple of
stories to get to here, Chad.

743
00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:21.480
But these stories are weird because we
have both of these. And we were

744
00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:24.480
in the production meeting and we kept
going around and around. Everybody was confused.

745
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:29.280
It's like, you want to talk
about Tesla or Tulsa. And I

746
00:53:29.320 --> 00:53:30.519
was like, well, no,
I'll talk about Tulsa and you talk about

747
00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:32.320
Tesla and it's like no, That's
what I was asking, Do you want

748
00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:35.800
which one you want to talk about? It reminds me of that episode of

749
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:38.360
Seinfeld when somebody says, do you
want salsa or seltzer? And how does

750
00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:44.000
somebody with a Latin accent order salsa
or seltzer? I want seltza, You

751
00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:46.760
want saltza or salza? And it's
like, I Tesla Tulsa, Telsa,

752
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:51.880
Tallsa, Tesla. Anyway, how
about you do talk about Tesla here?

753
00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:54.519
And I never thought about it like
that, but uh okay. So the

754
00:53:54.599 --> 00:54:01.079
question is would you spend one hundred
and fifty dollars on two beers? Depends

755
00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:08.039
on who I'm drinking them with and
when you When do you buy two beers

756
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:13.119
for one hundred and fifty dollars?
I don't know. I just don't know

757
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:15.599
if I can do it. But
we've done this segment of the most expensive

758
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:17.559
beers out there. Now, obviously
this isn't the most expensive beer out there,

759
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:22.480
but this is a pricier one when
Tesla has a new item in stock.

760
00:54:22.519 --> 00:54:27.079
It's a limited edition set of beers
for a mere one hundred and fifty

761
00:54:27.239 --> 00:54:32.199
dollars. What yep? And the
set includes two eleven allens bottles of Tesla

762
00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:37.880
Cyber Beer. It's a hellslagger with
notes of herb, spice, tea,

763
00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:44.599
and citrus, and also comes with
two Matt Black ceramic cyber steins that are

764
00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:47.599
designed to mimic the futuristic form of
the cyber Truck, which may be entered

765
00:54:47.639 --> 00:54:54.239
production this year. Out orders of
the beer will begin shipping pretty soon according

766
00:54:54.280 --> 00:54:58.079
to their website. Now, if
you remember, back in March, Tesla

767
00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:02.639
launched a thirty dollars gig beer to
celebrate its opening of its Berlin gigafactory and

768
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:07.159
a factory delivered its first vehicles last
year after facing a series of setbacks.

769
00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:12.599
But when do two beers cost one
hundred and fifty dollars? Well, when

770
00:55:12.599 --> 00:55:16.840
they're sold by Elon Musk, of
course. Yeah, that's a great idea.

771
00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:21.159
All right, how do we take
something and over engineer? I mean,

772
00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:23.559
isn't that really what a Tesla car
is? It's over it's an over

773
00:55:23.639 --> 00:55:27.760
engineered vehicle. I mean people love
them though. I mean, like I

774
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:30.440
said, I'm not saying they're not
bad. Are they that they're bad or

775
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:34.519
they're not good? But it's over
engineer. But what I'm what I have

776
00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:37.480
a hard time getting with is the
fact that there's two sets of bottles that

777
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:40.760
are eleven ounces each. Why can
they be twelve? I feel like,

778
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:45.159
I don't know why I don't want
eleven ounce twelve ounces? Well, they're

779
00:55:45.159 --> 00:55:52.639
eleven, they're eleven point two.
So it's the European measure. Because European

780
00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:58.519
bottles don't come to twelve ounces.
They're eleven point two. That's why three

781
00:55:58.559 --> 00:56:01.880
hundred and thirty sense of leaders or
something like that. I'm gonna put me

782
00:56:02.039 --> 00:56:05.719
out there. I don't think any
of our listeners would buy this. Now.

783
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:07.960
If I'm wrong, please let me
know. Maybe you cuy some for

784
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:12.320
us. Yeah, yeah, maybe
try it. But one hundred and fifty

785
00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:16.360
dollars for a Hellis lagger that has
notes of herbs, spiced tea and citrus.

786
00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:20.559
I don't know if I'm gonna spend
two hundred or one hundred and fifty

787
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:22.320
dollars for a bottle. Now,
maybe you're just buying it because it's a

788
00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:27.159
Cyberstein and it's more or less to
put on your mantle as a that's an

789
00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:30.280
over engineered glass drinking vessel. I
mean that's all that is, right,

790
00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:35.760
It's yeah, I mean it is. Let's just be honest about what it

791
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:38.400
is. I think you're trying to
overcompensate. I guess I wouldn't buy it.

792
00:56:38.440 --> 00:56:40.360
I mean, I'm not uged to
buy it, but hey, there's

793
00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:43.880
somebody out there that might collect something
like this, So there you go.

794
00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:47.599
It's out there. It is all
right, Well, speaking of complicating things,

795
00:56:47.639 --> 00:56:52.079
and I don't know we're gonna go
from Tesla to Tulsa, as in

796
00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:54.559
Tulsa, Oklahoma, which, by
the way, I had to look up

797
00:56:54.599 --> 00:56:58.960
the mascot of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Oh what is it? What is It?

798
00:56:59.039 --> 00:57:04.199
Makes no sense to me at all. They're in the middle of Tornado

799
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:07.639
Valley. It's like a Pelican or
Tornado Alley or whatever. No, you're

800
00:57:07.639 --> 00:57:15.559
close though, They're the Golden Hurricane. Okay exactly. And you know why

801
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:20.960
this is? This is so bad. This reminds me of when Eastern Michigan

802
00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:25.519
University temporarily changed their name to the
EMUSE. Listen to this. Eastern Michigan

803
00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:31.159
was the Hurons. They switched to
the EMUs because you know, cultural appropriation.

804
00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:35.480
They didn't want to they didn't want
to offend the Hurons, so they

805
00:57:35.559 --> 00:57:38.920
changed. They went with Eastern Michigan
University. Em you em you a large

806
00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:43.280
flightless bird from Australia or New Zealand. It's like, what does it have

807
00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:46.440
to do with Eastern Michigan Nothing,
But it just worked wrong fast forward.

808
00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:52.000
Tulsa wanted to be the Golden Tornadoes, but they couldn't because it was associated

809
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:54.519
with another school already. So they
said, well, we can't be Golden

810
00:57:54.559 --> 00:58:00.400
tornadoes, so let's be the hurricanes
where there are no hurricane. But meanwhile,

811
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:05.119
the University of Tulsa wanted to set
the Guinness Book of World Records for

812
00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:09.599
the world's largest beer tasting, where
they set up in a pre game tailgating

813
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:15.400
festivity on campus where participants had to
taste three beers that were guided by a

814
00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:22.639
certified cicerone, and one thousand and
eighty people showed up to participate in the

815
00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:28.000
event that was judged by Guinness Book
of World Records mister Michael M. Prick,

816
00:58:28.360 --> 00:58:34.360
who was there to record the results. The current record was held by

817
00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:37.920
an event in Barcelona in July of
twenty twenty two, which had one thousand,

818
00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:43.559
two hundred and forty three people who
attended. Well, two hundred and

819
00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:49.320
forty three people is larger than one
thousand and eighty, meaning that the University

820
00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:52.960
of Tulsa, in their bid to
become the world's largest beer tasting event before

821
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:59.519
a football game no less, fell
short one hundred and sixty three people short

822
00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:07.119
to be exact, But they are
the Golden Hurricane. Maybe next year,

823
00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:10.519
maybe next year they can break that
record. We're rooting for you, Tulsa,

824
00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:15.960
all right, that's sad. All
right, still to come. This

825
00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:17.480
might be some good news. There's
a bray for sale. We'll talk about

826
00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:22.119
that in samey hayguards the news.
We'll be right back. I'm sorry,

827
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:30.159
Tulsa. Did you know that six
beers a day can reduce your risk of

828
00:59:30.280 --> 01:00:00.920
giving a rats ass? That's us
still so much to get. Welcome back

842
01:00:59.719 --> 01:01:01.519
We're not we're not therapists in that
way. But we'll have a beer

843
01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:05.280
with you, which is what you're
doing right now. Remember when you listen

844
01:01:05.320 --> 01:01:08.239
to what's on zapp radio and you
are drinking a beer and you think,

845
01:01:08.280 --> 01:01:12.480
well, I'm sitting here by myself. No, you're not. James and

846
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:15.719
Chad right here with you. Don't
believe me, see right here? Oh

847
01:01:15.719 --> 01:01:19.280
wait, it's a radio program.
Home. Just know that we are we

848
01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:21.320
are. We don't no, no, no, no no. We have

849
01:01:21.360 --> 01:01:23.719
stunt beer livers who come in from
time to time, but we don't have

850
01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:29.599
like stunt beer. We have real
beer. We do we do? Yeah,

851
01:01:29.800 --> 01:01:34.000
yes, now, speaking of real
beer, I have a question for

852
01:01:34.039 --> 01:01:39.000
you. A lot of people have
made these knockoff like like like remember when

853
01:01:39.039 --> 01:01:45.440
Metallica tid there Butdweiser. It was
basically it was Budweizer in a black can

854
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:51.760
that said Metallica it. We have
all stories to us numerous times that is

855
01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:57.960
no lie and there and there's so
many different beers out there that are done

856
01:01:58.079 --> 01:02:00.480
as kind of one off. By
the way, I'm still trying to get

857
01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:04.320
my hands on the Rush beer from
Canada. I want to try it because

858
01:02:04.320 --> 01:02:08.480
I'm a big Rush fan. I
love Rush Do. The Trooper beer from

859
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:15.480
uh which James loves beer is awful. The beer is awful. Sorry,

860
01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:20.480
I tried. I can respect it. Robinson Brewery from the United Kingdom,

861
01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:22.519
I'm sorry you did not win the
heart of James Simpsons. No, I've

862
01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:27.920
tried it multiple times and I just
I can't get with it. So I

863
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:30.599
remember the same brewery here in Michigan. It was the Michigan Brewing Company.

864
01:02:30.599 --> 01:02:37.280
I believe it was in Webster,
Michigan that bought the rights to sell US

865
01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:38.960
beer out of Texas for a while. They owned it for a little while

866
01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:45.079
they were making they did a deal
with Kid Rock to do American Badass logger

867
01:02:46.119 --> 01:02:52.119
and I went there just to try
it, and I can tell you this

868
01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:54.320
is a long time ago, but
there was nothing American badass about it.

869
01:02:54.320 --> 01:03:01.840
It was a pretty pedestrian, light, straightforward beer. Well now there's another

870
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:07.239
rocker getting into the beer game and
he is all in. In fact,

871
01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:15.000
he's even said this is his dream
come true. What what rocker could possibly

872
01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:19.000
say that making a beer is making
his dream come true? Well, would

873
01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:23.199
you be shocked to know it's none
other than the Red Rocker himself, Sammy

874
01:03:23.360 --> 01:03:28.119
Hagar. Yeah, he's getting into
the beer game. Huh. Good for

875
01:03:28.199 --> 01:03:31.079
him? Yeah, I know,
because you know he's done successfully successful lines

876
01:03:31.079 --> 01:03:37.400
of tequila Rumken cocktails. But he
did he kind of the king of rock

877
01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:42.039
and roll adult beverages. He's done
tequila. I know that for sure because

878
01:03:42.039 --> 01:03:45.239
we talked about in the show and
he's done rum right, yes, So

879
01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:47.480
now now he wants to get in
the beer game. Okay, Well,

880
01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:52.360
it's interesting because he's he's basically calling
it unfinished business and he's partnering with a

881
01:03:52.360 --> 01:03:58.679
brewer in Detroit, and it's I
find it interesting he's saying it's unfinished business

882
01:03:58.719 --> 01:04:01.840
because he went and tried to partner
with some of the quote unquote big boy

883
01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:05.199
breweries over the years, but never
was able to reach a satisfactory deal.

884
01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:11.920
And then the deal came up again
when he sold his Cabo Wabble tequila line

885
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:16.159
to group O Campri and it was
like eighty million dollars back in two thousand

886
01:04:16.159 --> 01:04:18.119
and seven, and he said,
hey, I wanted to do a beer,

887
01:04:18.639 --> 01:04:21.599
but they said, we're not interested. But he never gave up the

888
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:26.599
dream. Even after he opened his
beach bar, he took a back seat.

889
01:04:26.599 --> 01:04:30.159
But finally he's like, and this
is a direct quote, I thought

890
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:31.880
I could make a better tequila than
what was on the market, and I

891
01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:36.000
did. I thought I could make
a better rum that was on the market,

892
01:04:36.360 --> 01:04:41.960
and I did. And now I
want to do the same with beer.

893
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:45.920
That's right. He wants to make
a better beer than anything on the

894
01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:49.480
market. And the Red Rocker Brewing
Company, which has offices in Canton,

895
01:04:49.960 --> 01:04:56.360
well it's brewed in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood, has created a new beer, the

896
01:04:56.519 --> 01:05:01.119
Red Rocker Lagger, which is,
according to him, better than any beer

897
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:06.760
on the market. It is a
Mexican style brew described as golden, medium

898
01:05:06.800 --> 01:05:14.519
body, light, crisp and refreshing
with just a touch of sweetness, and

899
01:05:14.719 --> 01:05:18.000
likens it to medello. It's going
to be on the market soon all over

900
01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:24.239
Michigan, Wisconsin, and just so
you know, it is the best beer

901
01:05:24.280 --> 01:05:30.679
on the market. According to Sammy
Hagar, I wanted to make a better

902
01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:31.960
rum than anybody on the market,
and I did it. I wanted to

903
01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:34.760
make a better tequila than anybody on
the market, and I did it.

904
01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:39.159
I want to make a better beer
than anybody on the market. Well he's

905
01:05:39.239 --> 01:05:45.039
doing it now, I do.
I do so rate beer perfect one hundred.

906
01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:49.480
I'm expecting that untapped, it's going
to have the highest score of any

907
01:05:49.519 --> 01:05:53.719
Mexican lagger out there, in fact, any beer out there. So I'm

908
01:05:54.119 --> 01:05:57.639
excited about getting I can't wait to
taste the best beer on the market.

909
01:05:57.880 --> 01:06:01.000
I honestly don't. I'm not a
big fan of ding a book by its

910
01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:06.880
cover, but I got my feelings
on this. It's a really bold thing

911
01:06:06.960 --> 01:06:11.639
to say you're going to make the
best beer on the market. That is

912
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:15.320
just I mean, even if it
is, it's a bold thing. Hey,

913
01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:17.679
good for you, man. I
hope that you win every World Beer

914
01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:23.239
Cup, in Great American Beer Festival
and internationals. This in a while.

915
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:26.079
We haven't used in a while,
but I'm gonna say it. Hey,

916
01:06:26.119 --> 01:06:30.480
Sammy, I hope you make a
million dollars with that idea. It was

917
01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:34.239
the less it was the less time
we used that. It's been a while

918
01:06:34.280 --> 01:06:39.519
since we probably had a last last
interview. That's our way of saying good

919
01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:42.360
luck with that. I hope you
make a million dollars with that idea.

920
01:06:42.440 --> 01:06:45.079
Go with it. That's hilarious.
Hey, speaking of this all right,

921
01:06:45.239 --> 01:06:50.079
So I like food. I wouldn't
call myself a foodie, but I appreciate

922
01:06:50.119 --> 01:06:54.719
good food, like going out to
restaurants like the Backyard Grill and other things.

923
01:06:54.760 --> 01:06:58.559
I like good quality food. I
don't like call myself a foodie for

924
01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:02.039
one reason. It it puts too
many expectations on me to get the right

925
01:07:02.119 --> 01:07:06.639
answer. Yeah. And there's all
sorts of food festivals where they had like

926
01:07:06.679 --> 01:07:13.079
food truck festivals and pizza festivals where
they have all these different pizza vendors and

927
01:07:13.239 --> 01:07:17.199
it's they're fun. You get some
really great brick up and pizzas. But

928
01:07:17.239 --> 01:07:20.800
when I saw this food festival,
this is a food festival like I've never

929
01:07:20.840 --> 01:07:26.280
seen before. Because food festivals they're
a fun way to go out and experience

930
01:07:26.360 --> 01:07:30.000
culinary offerings in your area. Right, But this one's a little different.

931
01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:32.760
This is a new festival coming to
La so far in La and we'll see

932
01:07:32.760 --> 01:07:38.199
if it takes off. It's called
chain Fest, which will feature bites from

933
01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:45.639
restaurants like Chili's Grill and Bar Dunkin
Donuts. Jack in the Box, Pana

934
01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:50.679
Express, Pizza Hut, Red Robin, and Sonic Drive in what's the name

935
01:07:50.679 --> 01:07:56.119
of the festival again? Chain Fest? Those are all chain restaurants, chain

936
01:07:56.159 --> 01:08:02.519
restaurants chain Fest, and drinks will
be buy PEPSI wait a minute, whoa

937
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:10.280
what yep, And there will be
plenty of specialty alcohol drinks like Guinness,

938
01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:14.960
Smearnoff, Crown Royal and Captain Morgan. And how much is gonna cost again

939
01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:16.560
in Well, it's gonna cost you
about seventy five bucks. And if it's

940
01:08:16.720 --> 01:08:20.680
not slammed, you can get into
every booth. You can use Postmates to

941
01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:25.399
get on site delivery. That's kind
of nifty. I'm not really understanding that,

942
01:08:25.439 --> 01:08:29.479
but okay. One of the people
behind the concept is a guy named

943
01:08:29.479 --> 01:08:32.960
bj Novak from the office. Yeah, but this isn't a joke. This

944
01:08:33.039 --> 01:08:36.479
isn't a joke. But this is
not a joke. It's just a sarcastic

945
01:08:36.520 --> 01:08:43.439
stunt and it's business partner chef named
Tim Hollingsworth. As a part of the

946
01:08:43.479 --> 01:08:47.039
event, he's putting on a spin
to one of the classic dishes from each

947
01:08:47.159 --> 01:08:54.159
chain. So whether it's you know
the what do you get from Chili's,

948
01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:57.399
what is it the chilies burger.
They're gonna put like a little spin on

949
01:08:57.479 --> 01:08:59.560
it to make it more Wait a
minute, what are you talking about at

950
01:08:59.640 --> 01:09:01.479
chili You gotta go in there and
get your baby back, baby back,

951
01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:03.800
baby bag. I want all that's
right, that's right, back, baby

952
01:09:03.840 --> 01:09:06.199
back, baby back ribs proof.
It's been a while since I've been to

953
01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:10.800
a Chili's, but this is something
there. But that commercial still rings true

954
01:09:10.840 --> 01:09:14.560
because I'm a marketing guy. But
it's it's something that you're interested in.

955
01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:17.279
Like I said, it's called chainfests. It's unclear if his creations are the

956
01:09:17.279 --> 01:09:20.960
only ones to be part of the
fest or the chains will provide versions of

957
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:25.880
their standard food. So maybe you
just go in there and get the chili

958
01:09:25.960 --> 01:09:30.560
cheese caso from Chili's. But the
festival is happening in Hollywood the first weekend

959
01:09:30.560 --> 01:09:32.479
of December. Two days are already
sold out, and they're adding another date

960
01:09:32.520 --> 01:09:34.920
and there's no word if they're going
to plan to expand any further. So

961
01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:41.920
there's a new festival out there that
focuses on chains like Chili's in Panda Express,

962
01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:45.479
And I want to thank Superior Pest
Control of West Michigan for sending us

963
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:49.560
that story because some of the guys
over there at Superior Pest Control. Fun

964
01:09:49.600 --> 01:09:57.039
fact, one of the original company
owners was a chef. Really okay,

965
01:09:57.079 --> 01:09:58.920
They're like, hey, what do
you Yeah, they asked us, Hey,

966
01:09:58.960 --> 01:10:00.880
what do you think about this?
Going to eat chain food and drink

967
01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:06.520
beer. I'd rather eat your food, hang out with the folks that Superior

968
01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:09.880
Past Control West Michigan, drink beer
with them. I would go to this

969
01:10:09.960 --> 01:10:13.119
if they give us some press passes, I'll go get down on Oh yeah,

970
01:10:13.520 --> 01:10:16.039
Chile Bar. And no, not
for seventy five bucks. But no,

971
01:10:16.039 --> 01:10:18.960
not when, not when you're staying
seventy five bucks and there's a place

972
01:10:19.039 --> 01:10:21.279
with like Jack in a Box that
has a nine to nine cent menu.

973
01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:26.960
All right, we gotta take us. We gotta take a boak still to

974
01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:30.800
come. We got to talk about
Oh there's this young lady who we're gonna

975
01:10:30.800 --> 01:10:33.279
salute this week, all list and
so much more. Just what's on top,

976
01:10:33.319 --> 01:10:36.199
Right, you hang with us.
We'll be right back. After reading

977
01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:44.640
about the evils of drinking, we
made up our mind we're gonna stop reading.

978

992
01:12:02.319 --> 01:12:06.920
Where I like to drink when I'm
not hanging out here in studio Bureologic

993
01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:12.520
World Headquarters in drinking emporium, Tantrick
Brewering Company. It's still talking about that

994
01:12:12.520 --> 01:12:15.159
in Mars, and we kicked the
show off with earlier and we had it

995
01:12:15.239 --> 01:12:18.560
in the studio last week. Very
good stuff. A couple of stories to

996
01:12:18.560 --> 01:12:20.720
get to before we get out of
here. I've been teasing this. There's

997
01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:23.960
this brewery for sales. It's only
been open for a few weeks. Sin

998
01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:27.680
it's already apparently for sale. How
does that work? Okay, now do

999
01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:31.319
the math on that one. We're
gonna Some people say that certain breweries open

1000
01:12:31.880 --> 01:12:35.520
for the sole purpose of just trying
to be able to resell and you know,

1001
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:41.039
score quick profit, which those days
are long gone. So I don't

1002
01:12:41.119 --> 01:12:46.560
understand how anybody is even considering opening
a brewery that just open, you know,

1003
01:12:46.720 --> 01:12:50.000
just open. Now we're gonna sell
it. Well, what brewer you're

1004
01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:55.720
asking? Well? Else the Guinness
Brewery. Not that Guinness brewery. No,

1005
01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:57.960
not that one, Not the one
in Ireland. No, it's the

1006
01:12:58.039 --> 01:13:00.720
one that it's been only open for
a few weeks. The one Chicago.

1007
01:13:00.359 --> 01:13:04.600
Oh, it's the Chicago Fulton's Market
district is for sale and a deal expected

1008
01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:15.000
to top twenty million dollars. Now
a Chicago developer his Fred Latsko has hired

1009
01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:19.039
JLLL Brokers to seek a buyer for
the Guinness Open Gate Brewery, which opened

1010
01:13:19.079 --> 01:13:25.800
in late September a former railroad depot
building, and is confirmed that they are

1011
01:13:25.840 --> 01:13:29.760
actually selling it. It's Alasco and
jl are billing the deal as a one

1012
01:13:29.800 --> 01:13:34.079
of a kind opportunity to own one
of the Irish breweries properties and it's time

1013
01:13:34.119 --> 01:13:39.039
to pass the torch or in this
case, the tap and the new stewardship.

1014
01:13:39.439 --> 01:13:44.560
As the only other Guinness Open Gate
breweries are owned by the brand itself.

1015
01:13:44.680 --> 01:13:48.159
Alasco is said in a statement the
Guinness operation itself won't be affected by

1016
01:13:48.199 --> 01:13:51.920
the properties sale and it's not clear
how much Lasco is expecting this sale,

1017
01:13:51.960 --> 01:13:57.000
but someone familiar with the deal estimated
it would be sell around twenty million dollars.

1018
01:13:58.039 --> 01:14:00.520
Now this is the thing people got
to understand. Everything's wait, Guinness

1019
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:02.760
is for sale or they're selling one
of their breweries, and I can own

1020
01:14:02.800 --> 01:14:09.560
Guinness. Not exactly. There's a
ten year lease on that building for Guinness,

1021
01:14:10.159 --> 01:14:14.880
so you will own the property,
yes, that the Guinness bury sits

1022
01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:18.159
on, so for ten years,
well nine years, you'll be able to

1023
01:14:18.199 --> 01:14:23.800
say yeah, I own that,
but then it's your job to go ahead

1024
01:14:23.800 --> 01:14:26.800
and renew the contract. Now,
if I remember correctly, the original Saint

1025
01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:31.800
James Gate Brewery had some ridiculous and
I a simple Google search will give me

1026
01:14:31.800 --> 01:14:34.920
the answer. But of course this
just came to me, and so I

1027
01:14:34.920 --> 01:14:39.680
didn't do my research, and we
don't have a production team on staph or

1028
01:14:39.720 --> 01:14:42.680
an intern that I can call quickly
and say, hey, look this up.

1029
01:14:43.159 --> 01:14:46.079
But the original Saint James Gate Brewery
was like a nine thousand year lease

1030
01:14:46.199 --> 01:14:48.279
or something stupid. That's right.
I think we did it in a fun

1031
01:14:48.319 --> 01:14:54.000
fact may it was a nine nine
nine hundred, who cares, it's a

1032
01:14:54.119 --> 01:14:59.079
really long time, no one,
and then and the one in Dublin.

1033
01:14:59.279 --> 01:15:02.319
But then they bought it out and
now they own it outright. So but

1034
01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:04.600
yeah, if you want to go
ahead and say you own the property,

1035
01:15:04.800 --> 01:15:12.600
you got twenty million dollars. By
the way, it's estimated that the brewery

1036
01:15:12.640 --> 01:15:15.560
there, I believe. I looked
at the financials that they were reporting.

1037
01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:18.680
They said it's gonna it's gonna net
over a million dollars in net profit a

1038
01:15:18.800 --> 01:15:24.479
year. So good chance that brewery
is not going anywhere. So you got

1039
01:15:24.479 --> 01:15:26.880
a good Renter, you got a
good tenant if you want to go ahead

1040
01:15:26.920 --> 01:15:30.920
and own that brewery and they'll stick
around for a few years. So if

1041
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:34.920
you got twenty million dollars in your
pocket just burning a hole there, you

1042
01:15:34.920 --> 01:15:41.279
know it's a proper sponsor this show. You know it's some property and sponsor

1043
01:15:41.319 --> 01:15:44.800
the show. So all right,
I'm just gonna put out there newly opened

1044
01:15:44.800 --> 01:15:48.279
Guinness Brewery in Chicago for say,
yeah, now, speaking of stick around

1045
01:15:48.319 --> 01:15:55.399
for a while, that's called hey
segue right there, we'll have a good

1046
01:15:55.439 --> 01:15:58.920
see. Speaking of sticking around for
a while, what if I told you

1047
01:15:58.960 --> 01:16:03.279
that a beer and a half a
day would keep you going well past a

1048
01:16:03.439 --> 01:16:06.319
century yourself? That's right? What
am I? What am I talking about?

1049
01:16:06.359 --> 01:16:12.720
I'm talking about your age, living
long, living happy, and living

1050
01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:18.079
maybe even a little sassy. Well
I'll be I'll live to be about three

1051
01:16:18.159 --> 01:16:23.079
hundred years old, right, I'm
hoping to make it to eighty. My

1052
01:16:23.159 --> 01:16:26.760
wife is pissed every time I say
that. She's say you better, you

1053
01:16:26.840 --> 01:16:33.640
better live longer than that. But
if you ever met Teresina Piano, and

1054
01:16:33.720 --> 01:16:36.880
I hope I'm saying her first name
right, because the last thing I do

1055
01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:41.399
I want is for her to come
back from the grave and slap me around.

1056
01:16:41.439 --> 01:16:45.079
Because this sassy woman had a foul
mouth, was known for dirty jokes

1057
01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:50.960
and her love of beer, dancing
and loud music. And when you hear

1058
01:16:51.000 --> 01:16:56.000
the story about this woman and people
say she got feisty in her old age,

1059
01:16:56.680 --> 01:17:01.319
well makes me. It makes me
wonder what feisty really means. Because

1060
01:17:01.920 --> 01:17:09.479
this woman lived to be one hundred
and six years old, and she said

1061
01:17:09.680 --> 01:17:14.359
she wanted drinking, laughing and good
times at her funeral, and no one

1062
01:17:14.520 --> 01:17:18.560
was to dress in black. I
tried to offer, I can sign up

1063
01:17:18.560 --> 01:17:21.520
for that program. And if you
offered to try and take care of her,

1064
01:17:21.840 --> 01:17:25.239
she was capable to take care of
herself. And she might call you

1065
01:17:25.279 --> 01:17:29.680
an sob or worse. Whoa she
did? Oh? I know? Yeah,

1066
01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:32.880
she drove till she was one hundred
and four. Wait what she Yeah?

1067
01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:38.119
I know who gave her that license? I mean some people have to

1068
01:17:38.159 --> 01:17:42.319
have their license renewed every five years. If you're one hundred and four,

1069
01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:45.279
you should have your license renewed every
week. Good, I'm sorry. Good

1070
01:17:45.319 --> 01:17:48.520
for her one hundred and four though, Yeah, she walked without a king

1071
01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:53.239
till she was one hundred and five. But check this out. Why one

1072
01:17:53.279 --> 01:17:56.800
hundred and five? What happened?
Well, she was dancing at a rock

1073
01:17:56.920 --> 01:18:02.760
band concert at a dive bar and
she fell. Oh no, yeah,

1074
01:18:02.840 --> 01:18:06.720
she fell dancing to a rock band
at a dive bar at one hundred and

1075
01:18:06.760 --> 01:18:09.960
five years old, and so she
had to walk with the kids. We

1076
01:18:09.960 --> 01:18:11.920
got to get her on the shows. Cheah, we gotta get her on

1077
01:18:11.920 --> 01:18:16.399
the show. No, well we
can't. Why she died? Oh yeah,

1078
01:18:16.520 --> 01:18:23.079
oh oh that's sad. Yeah,
yeah she lived. Had she lived

1079
01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:28.439
to be one hundred and six,
lived past tense. But this whole story

1080
01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:31.479
starts with her. One of her
earliest memories of being a little sassy.

1081
01:18:31.640 --> 01:18:36.600
When she was fourteen years old,
Terracina was walking home from school and saw

1082
01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:42.279
whiskey running down the gutter down the
street. She ran home, thinking of

1083
01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:47.439
her father because apparently he was connected
to the mafia bootlegging, and yep,

1084
01:18:47.600 --> 01:18:51.199
the federal agents were all over the
house, busting open barrels. And then

1085
01:18:51.359 --> 01:18:56.399
started eating her mother's food, And
she looked at her mother and saw her

1086
01:18:56.439 --> 01:18:59.760
crying, and all of a sudden, she starts tearing into the agents.

1087
01:19:00.079 --> 01:19:02.479
Aren't you ashamed making my mother cry? Now you're eating your food. I

1088
01:19:02.479 --> 01:19:08.239
hope you choke. Well, they
ran out of there and left her alone.

1089
01:19:08.279 --> 01:19:11.039
I wish I find pretty hilarious.
But her version of the story is.

1090
01:19:11.800 --> 01:19:15.720
And she was telling the story at
her neighborhood bar, the garage,

1091
01:19:15.880 --> 01:19:20.239
which pretty interesting story. This is
good. She's telling everybody, and she's

1092
01:19:20.279 --> 01:19:26.399
running out of there. She's at
the garage, the garage bar post COVID.

1093
01:19:26.439 --> 01:19:28.920
She would go in there on a
regular basis with her granddaughter and she

1094
01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:33.119
would again at the garage bar,
she would get her drinks for free.

1095
01:19:33.560 --> 01:19:40.439
What that's crazy, And so she'd
go in there and do it and have

1096
01:19:40.520 --> 01:19:44.279
a good old time. And her
her secret to a long life was to

1097
01:19:44.319 --> 01:19:49.000
have a can and a half of
beer every single night. I don't know

1098
01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:54.199
why. It was. It's gotta
be a cores or something. Miller La

1099
01:19:54.399 --> 01:19:58.720
okay, but but Miller lite was
acceptable. But she died of a heart

1100
01:19:58.720 --> 01:20:02.920
attack at one hundred. And I'm
sorry if that woman was that sassy,

1101
01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:10.560
that bolt, that brash, and
she just lashed out everything from prohibition agents

1102
01:20:11.159 --> 01:20:15.520
to people who tried to take care
of her because they didn't think they thought

1103
01:20:15.520 --> 01:20:17.560
she was a frail old woman.
And she died of a heart attack at

1104
01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:20.840
one hundred and six. I'm sorry. Her heart finally said, look,

1105
01:20:20.880 --> 01:20:25.159
man, we're afraid to die on
you because what you might say. But

1106
01:20:25.279 --> 01:20:28.560
it's time to go. So she
lived a good, long, happy life

1107
01:20:28.960 --> 01:20:32.039
and she loved having a beer and
a half a day. What a memory

1108
01:20:32.079 --> 01:20:38.239
she's created for that bar, for
her grandchildren, her children, And yeah,

1109
01:20:38.359 --> 01:20:41.039
rumor is that her husband tried to
sneak out once and go to a

1110
01:20:41.079 --> 01:20:43.479
bar and she said, I'm packing
up the kid and going with you,

1111
01:20:43.560 --> 01:20:45.479
and that was the last time he
went alone. Well, cheer's to you,

1112
01:20:45.600 --> 01:20:48.079
