I would be like, oh my goodness, I want 170 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.720 more of this. Okay. You know how some October fests they they kind 171 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.320 of missed the mark, or they're a little too subtle, or they're just 172 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:18.840 you know, there's a little off, just they're not that perfect balance of 173 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:24.840 sweetness and dryness and and and chew your body and mouth feel. This is 174 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.000 a beautiful beer. I mean, this is an excellent example other than the 175 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.279 fact that it is a little bit warmer, it is a six and a 176 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.399 half percent a little bit higher on that. But if you were blindfolded and 177 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.200 you tasted this, there would be no question you would take one sip. 178 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.360 I mean, you could be a novice and you were like, but that's 179 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.679 October Fest beer. Yeah, you're darn right it is. And tell me 180 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.919 what's the name of the brewery, Great Lakes Brewing Company? Great? Okay, 181 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.480 I mean Great Lakes always puts out great beer, right, yeah, 182 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.240 I mean yeah, they're known the one that they're really known for, the 183 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.840 Edmund Fitzgerald the Boat. Yeah, yep. So yeah, they are just 184 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:07.039 a great brewery. They're kind of an institution, employee owned operation. I 185 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.159 mean, they're it's it's it's a good brewer. They're independent, one of 186 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.919 the best things to come out of Ohio, if not the best thing other 187 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.759 than Cedar Point. And I know I just offended somebody, but delicious stuff. 188 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.399 That's what we've gotten. Sorry, James, I didn't mean to burst 189 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.200 your bubble and you know drink this. But here's the problem, James. 190 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.200 This is the thing you didn't realize because of how they're releasing beers. Now, 191 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.240 okay, this beer is already three months old. Okay, so I 192 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.039 have to drink it is I've seen it on the shelf since July, like 193 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.559 right after July fourth. I'm totally kidding, it's not. Three fourth comes 194 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.639 around and here comes the october Fest beers. Oh my goodness, we gotta 195 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.080 drink it now quick. And October Overfest hasn't even started yet. Yes, 196 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:54.080 but we must drink all the Octoberfest So but hey, I am excited. 197 00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:01.200 I'm a few weeks away from bringing all month of September and October bringing october 198 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.559 Fest beers because it is my favorite style. But I disciplined myself, so 199 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.960 I'm just kind of finishing off my summer beers to make room for all those 200 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.440 october Fest beers I'm consuming the next few weeks. So true story. Somebody 201 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.879 caught me on this. I want to go ahead and share this because people. 202 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.600 Some people ask, now that you've moved to Michigan, do you still 203 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:26.320 drink heavy beers for your lawnmower beer? So I mowed the lawn on the 204 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.159 weekend, got got done, went out to the lake because it was hot 205 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:35.200 and I was sweating. I grabbed myself a sixteen ounce can of Lua Brewing 206 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.240 Imperial Coconuts stout, and I went and sat in the middle of the lake, 207 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.559 and I got a sunburn, and I was just I was sipping on 208 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.399 I thought I was on an island kid though. The coconut, I don't 209 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:50.679 know man the stout though, Oh yeah, that's my lawnmower beer. Odd, 210 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.639 but hey to each of their own. Oh, I want to say 211 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.480 congratulations to all the parents out there that had sent their kids back to school. 212 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.360 I've seen many of my friends that have been enjoying happy hour while their 213 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.240 kids are at school now now that they're not trying to keep their kids busy. 214 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.600 But since school is now in session now, it's really our obligation to 215 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.080 do this chat now the official What's on Tap Radio Fun Factor the Week, 216 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.679 brought to you by Who's ever checked Clear This week, even though we don't 217 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.080 take time off to do these fun facts, we're giving education all year long, 218 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.200 but we are welcoming back at large audience that has, you know, 219 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.360 they take a little hiatus as a little sabbatical during the summer. You know 220 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.720 why they entertain their children. But now that the children are back to school, 221 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.840 welcome back. Yeah, that's right. All right. So we are 222 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:46.559 going to combine several fun facts and public service announcements and we're going to do 223 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:54.279 a Ripley's Believe it or Not factor fiction all in one giant fun fact episode 224 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.639 this week. So, ladies and gentlemen, we say all the time that 225 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:03.440 we hear at What's on tap radio, give you two hours of beer for 226 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.559 your ear. That's right. Ten years, ten years we've been doing this. 227 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.639 That's right, beer for your ear. And so I discovered while I 228 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.919 was just doing some research for this week's fun Fact, I stumbled upon some 229 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.559 information about scuba diving. And no, this is not drunk scuba diving, 230 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.039 but when you scuba dive, apparently there are some shortcomings and some pitfalls that 231 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:27.559 you need to worry about, including problems with your ear. Turns out, 232 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:34.440 scuba divers have the ultimate solution to help prevent ear infections in any other problems 233 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:40.360 that come that are associated with scuba diving. It's a very common problem because 234 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.240 of the ascent and decent. It's a huge issue and they have a homemade 235 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:51.679 remedy that is called ear beer. Yes, you heard that correct, ear 236 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.120 beer. It is a homemade remedy to prevent ear infections. And what it 237 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:03.160 is is it's a fifty fifty of alcohol and white vinegar and so it's a 238 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.359 homemade concoction and you put it in. You put a couple of drops in 239 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:12.519 and it prevents some of the common ear infection effects that are associated with scuba 240 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.960 diving. I thought that was pretty cool. So I was like, I 241 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.799 want to make sure that this isn't just fiction. So I looked up earber 242 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.559 and sure enough, it's very common. And in the process of looking that 243 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:30.359 up, I discovered a video on YouTube of a woman who claims to be 244 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:38.759 able to drink beer in her ear from a straw. What I pulled up 245 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:44.559 the video and I watched it happen, and then, of course all of 246 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:49.000 the MythBusters said, is it even possible to do it? So, ladies 247 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.160 and gentlemen, here are the facts. It turns out that there is an 248 00:17:53.200 --> 00:18:00.920 anatomical link between your ear and your throat called the austation two, and in 249 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.599 order to get liquid from the ear into your throat, it is possible it 250 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.920 would go through the estation too, but there would have to be a hole 251 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:12.599 in your ear drum or the ear drum would have to be completely missing. 252 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:18.640 So theoretically you could suck beer into your ear canal. It would go through 253 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.839 the hole in the ear drum into the middle ear, and then through the 254 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:27.319 estation tube and down your throat. While it is theoretically possible, it is 255 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:33.160 highly unlikely and listen up, ladies and gentlemen. Public service announcement, very 256 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:38.599 very dangerous, ladies and gentlemen. The woman who in this video who appears 257 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:45.279 to have done this did so without plugging her nose, which immediately raised concerns 258 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.839 and people said, I don't think that would work because there's not enough counter 259 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.079 pressure. You would have to hold your nose to do it. But just 260 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.160 so you know, if you were to do it, drawing alcohol into the 261 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.440 middle of your ear could cause hearing loss. Also, it would be very 262 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:06.039 painful to have alcohol there. Cold beer would cause immediate dizziness, and alcohol 263 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:11.359 in your ear could cause an additional an ear infection. And upon further review, 264 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.559 ladies and gentlemen, the video was a fake. So your official What's 265 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.759 on Tap Radio fun Factor of the Week is it is possible to drink beer 266 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:19.440 in your ear, but it might kill you. No, you'll get get 267 00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:23.039 very sick or you could lose your hearing. That's your official What's on Tap 268 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.759 Radio fun fact of the week.

Welcome 274 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.839 back to What's on Tap Radio? Just dropping some fun facts and I did 275 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:22.160 fact check Chad during the break. There is something called eater beer. There 276 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:25.000 is there, really is. I was like, he's totally making this up. 277 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:26.440 No, there is really something out there. It's even on the scuba 278 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:32.640 diving like ficial dot org website. It is, I know. And I 279 00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:33.920 like how you said that, you know, it's like magic. And then 280 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:38.759 all of a sudden, totally unplanned. Again this I swear, just sometimes 281 00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:45.759 the show comes together like magic. I had a fun fact which I don't 282 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.200 tell James in advance what it's gonna be about. No, nor do I 283 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:49.759 tell him when the whole my beer and watch this? I do not know? 284 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:56.599 And what what's the what's in the fun fact of the week a video 285 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.720 that appears to show a magic trick of somebody drinking beer through a straw in 286 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:06.880 their ear. Unfortunately, as I said, turns out it was a fake. 287 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.680 But I want to I want to stress this enough or again I can't. 288 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:12.160 I can't stress this enough. I need to say this again. If 289 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:19.519 you want to try this, don't, just don't. It is a bad 290 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:22.920 idea and the only way you're gonna be able to drink beer in your ears 291 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.880 if you have a hole in your ear drum. In that case, you 292 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:29.880 may want to go see an audiologist or some of them specialist. You can't 293 00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:32.759 taste the beer when you drink it through your ear, So what's the point 294 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:34.640 this is true? Yeah? Well right exactly, It's like, okay, 295 00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:40.279 cool magic trick. You just basically screwed up your ear even more. You 296 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.319 didn't get to taste the beer. And yeah, maybe I guess you got 297 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:47.039 drunk, but you can't hear anything. No, Yeah, hey, I 298 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:49.720 got a great buzz. I'm deaf now, but hey, good times. 299 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:53.880 So I want to circle back to this story we're talking about earlier. How 300 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.400 you said, hey, it's really hot out there, and so some people 301 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.799 just didn't really want to be cooking because it's so hot. Well, let 302 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.319 me tell you why. I was on the phone with this repair company. 303 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.440 So my wife is a cooksh I mean, she cooks and she caters, 304 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:15.319 and she has this whole system down right. So the other day she's cooking 305 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.759 this meal and this oven. We had one of these microwaves that's attached to 306 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.920 the oven, and about about a month ago, our microwave went out, 307 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.799 so we had a repair company come out and fixed the microwave. Well, 308 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.960 the microwave was fixed, but now the oven doesn't really work very well. 309 00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:37.359 So my wife is making these pork I like pork butts or whatever, and 310 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.720 she's cooking it for like three hours on four hundred degrees or whatever it was, 311 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:42.400 or maybe three I don't know. I don't know. All I know 312 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:45.039 is she was cooking for three I'm glad she's the cook in the family and 313 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.720 she knows the real recipe facts facts, Okay, And all of a sudden, 314 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.799 up sitting here and I'm editing and the power and the whole house goes 315 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:59.640 out because the oven blew a fuse. And so I call this, I 316 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:02.400 mean at the power store, and we've we figured out it was the oven 317 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.640 that tripped the There he goes, she tripped a break. It tripped a 318 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:07.960 breaker, right, I was gonna say, your house is a little more 319 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.400 modern. So I called the repair company and I'm like, hey, you 320 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.440 know, ever since you guys came out to fix the microwave, now like 321 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.759 the oven doesn't work and now they're giving us to run around. And so 322 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.240 during this production meeting, I'm sitting here just like going back and forth with 323 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:22.680 this guy. And I'm not trying to get all Karen with this dude, 324 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.079 but I'm just trying to explain to him, like, ever since he came 325 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:29.160 out to fix the microwave, now the oven doesn't work and that blew a 326 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:33.200 breaker, Like you shouldn't blow a breaker cooking in the oven, like what 327 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:36.880 like what's gonna happen during Thanksgiving when we had to cook a turkey and over? 328 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.559 Yeah, And so I'm trying to explain this the guy and the guy 329 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:44.279 who's like littre okay, okay, I mean whatever, I mean you know, 330 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.759 so anyways, yeah, he was basically saying that, and I was, 331 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:51.119 I basically just hung up on him, and I was furious, and 332 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:53.319 I miss a lot of the production meeting, and I was, I was 333 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:56.720 hot. I sat down and then the MIC's cracked and all of a sudden, 334 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.599 it was just like everything went away. Everything went away. So I 335 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.000 feel better. But it just says, you know, people don't want to 336 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.240 cook because it's so hot, so they're going out to restaurants, eating out 337 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.240 more. And so we got this story sent to us, and I want 338 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:18.279 to think superior pest Control for sending this story to us. The secrets are 339 00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.279 judging a good restaurant. Now, wait a minute, this is a show 340 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:23.400 about beer. Yeah, well, guess what. When you go out to 341 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:27.240 a restaurant, you want to have a great dining experience and you're gonna order 342 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:32.680 a beer, and beer happens to fall on this list. Well, of 343 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:37.880 course it does, all right, So when you go out to a restaurant, 344 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.240 what are the things that you look for? All right? What are 345 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.799 the tried and true methods that actually judge a new restaurant or just any restaurant. 346 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:51.039 And there's actually some interesting techniques and so apparently some people went online and 347 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:56.880 they looked at some reviews and looked at the techniques that make a restaurant appealing. 348 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.759 And Chad, you tell me whether or not you agree with this list. 349 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.839 All right, So, in no particular order, no particular order whatsoever, 350 00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:11.640 the menu comes into play. It can't be too big. It can't 351 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.400 be too big. You don't want to like a book like now I hear 352 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.440 people complain about the Cheesecake Factory. Now you go the Cheesecake Factory in the 353 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.759 in the menu is like a book. I was gonna say, you need 354 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:25.839 you need forty five minutes because it's like a novel. Yeah, so oh 355 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:30.000 oh you want the appetizers that's on page ten. Okay. So they don't 356 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.599 really want to menu that's too big, or a menu that's too sticky, 357 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.599 nothing like that, that menu, And it's just because they don't they don't 358 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.880 wash them well or something, and it's maybe they someone spell coke on it 359 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.400 or doctor pepper and it's just sticky. But they believe. They also believe 360 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.960 in a physical menu and chat and I talked about at lenked on this show. 361 00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.160 A lot of these restaurants, you know, they're going touch list, 362 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.519 so it's all going QR codes yep. But people do still our old fashioned 363 00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.200 They want a sheet of paper, not just QR read on your phone. 364 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.640 Yep. I look at the beer list and everybody like, yeah, our 365 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.640 beer list is on untapped, and I'm like, yeah, I know, 366 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.000 I get it. Well, cool thing is you go to the backyard Grill, 367 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:11.519 you get all of it, you get QR code if you want, 368 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:15.720 you can look at the beer list. You can go to untapped and you 369 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.039 can look at or you can get a printed menu. That's what I like. 370 00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.039 And they also have the screens at the Backyard Grill. So I'm like, 371 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.720 we're catering to everybody. But I agree with this except for the list, 372 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.920 for the idea that the menu can't be too big, and that's because 373 00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.039 if the menu is too small, people can say there's nothing done here. 374 00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.240 I want, well, I'm too big like Goldilocks in Three Bears. You 375 00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:37.400 don't want it too small, you don't want it too big, you just 376 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:42.039 want it just right right. If that menu sticky, dude, I've oh 377 00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:45.880 my god, I've totally had menus to hand it to me before and it's 378 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.880 like there's like ketchup on it or mayo just disgusting. It just it grosses 379 00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:53.640 me out. By the way, always always take some hand sanitizer before you 380 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:56.640 eat, after you touch that manu. All right again, we're talking about 381 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.720 ways people judge restaurants. How about the service. I mean the service is 382 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:07.799 pretty important, right, Look for servers who care? Do they have helpful 383 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:14.599 recommendations? Do they know you know if you need some recommendations. And this 384 00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:18.279 is where this this auctionaire thing comes in. People auction the food. Explain 385 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.920 what the this auctioning thing because for somebody's never you know, worked in the 386 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:27.279 restaurant, and these two tie hand in hand because sometimes you'll have a server 387 00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:30.960 who's just there to get your order as quick as possible and get out of 388 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.880 the way. That's all they want to do. Turn right, I'm not 389 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.000 there to serve you. I'm not there to make a good experience. I'm 390 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:40.920 there to get your order and get out of the way. Okay, I 391 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.880 want to turn it as fast as I can. Well, sometimes when that 392 00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:48.400 happens, you are a little mismanaged, unorganized, and if somebody else brings 393 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.000 out the food. You've seen that before, where the waitress or the waiter 394 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:55.160 is taking your food order, but somebody else from the kitchen brings it out. 395 00:27:55.559 --> 00:28:00.559 And when they bring it out and they don't know what food goes to 396 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.799 which seat, they have to interrupt your conversation while you're sitting there, and 397 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:06.680 all of a sudden, they're like an auctioneer. All right, who had 398 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:07.920 the who had the fish? Who had the fish? All right? Who 399 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.319 had the who had this burger? Okay? Who had that? And it's 400 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.759 and it's a sign of being disorganized and that the kitchen doesn't communicate well with 401 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.039 the servers. And I don't know if I agree with that, because there 402 00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.720 have been plenty of times whenever, hey, you know what, I don't 403 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:26.480 mind helping out the servers or the person bringing the food. It's like, 404 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:29.039 no, that one's mine. Okay, cool, that one's mine. But 405 00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:33.079 if they start auctioneering the food at the table, all right? Who had 406 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:36.079 this? Who had this? Who had this? Okay? Cool? Some 407 00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:40.680 critics very harsh. They they'll downgrade you for that. So when you go 408 00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:42.480 out to a restaurant, again, we're talking about what people look for when 409 00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:47.359 they go out to a restaurant, the clientele. Do you walk in and 410 00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.200 look at the regulars to go okay, this can't be so bad, you 411 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.160 know, looking at the you know you're profiling the regulars. But some people 412 00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:56.519 they do. They go in there and they look and they look at the 413 00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.160 regulars and if they only have the regulars, yeah, that's the thing is 414 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.960 if it's only the regulars, yeah, and there's just you know, not 415 00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:10.359 organic, that is a great way to drive away. Bit like regulars are 416 00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:12.960 great for business. And I mean again, go to BYG. You're gonna 417 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:18.000 see regulars there all the time. But they have lots of seating, lots 418 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:19.440 of people. You come, people come in all the time. But if 419 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:25.599 you are if the place is only regulars, it can get a little, 420 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:27.359 uh, it can get a little intimidating when you walk in, yeah, 421 00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:30.279 because you feel like you don't belong right. Also, I mean this kind 422 00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:33.200 of goes hand in hand the cleanliness of the of the place. Is it 423 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.960 the chair's clean? Are the tables clean? Are the plants dusty? Are 424 00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:42.160 the bathrooms they should also be clean and stocked. So if you go in 425 00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:47.880 there there's no toilet paper and it's just like the floors are sticky. Gross. 426 00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:49.880 But important thing for me when I go out to a restaurant is I'm 427 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:53.960 looking at the drink selection. Of course, many say they base their decision 428 00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.400 on a restaurant on the variety of drink options. Is there a decent selection 429 00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:00.759 of cocktails, a good wine menu, and the amount of different beer styles 430 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.759 to choose from. That's what I kind of look for. So I had 431 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:08.440 this big menu, and I want to have a different style to pair with 432 00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:12.240 my food. I'm looking at the drink selection. So again, this is 433 00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:15.880 just a story that came across. I guess the secrets of judging how good 434 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.640 a restaurant are. What do you do when you go to a restaurant? 435 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.119 Reach out to us? What's on tap radio, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram 436 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:25.200 or what's on tap radio gmail dot com? Do you look for things when 437 00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:27.599 you walk into a restaurant for the first time? I don't know. And 438 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:30.599 what's your restaurant? All right? I thought that was pretty interesting. All 439 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:33.119 right, we gotta take a break. Oh my god, we're on the 440 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.960 time of this segment still to come. We got not all heroes word capes, 441 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:40.440 and we got to talk about kid rock.

Craft beer. It's not alcoholism, it's 444 00:30:48.599 --> 00:31:04.119 a hobby. This is What's on Tap Radio.

I don't know if you saw the story 452 00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:34.160 chat, but it's I'm a fan. I saw yeah, I saw it 453 00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:37.559 in the production meeting. Yeah. So again I miss a lot of the 454 00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:42.160 production meeting because I was on the phone with this microwave repair company that's refusing 455 00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:48.200 to fix their crappy work, their shoddy work. And also we got an 456 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:51.160 interview coming up next hour. So we got a lot to get to on 457 00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:55.920 this episode. Plenty more beaters to crack. We were talking about last segment. 458 00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:57.759 The secrets of judging a good restaurant is, so if you have a 459 00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:00.799 something that you look for when you go to a restaurant. I would like 460 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:04.039 to know, so you get a hold of us, you know what's on 461 00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.240 type of your Gmail dot com or through or social media, what's on type 462 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:10.440 of your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, all that fun stuff. 463 00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.079 Yep. Absolutely, I want to go ahead and do a little shout out 464 00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:21.359 for a couple of folks in Iowa. Oh yeah, gotta throw some love 465 00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:27.559 over there. I've heard this thing over there called Iowa Nice. It's a 466 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:32.480 thing where Iowa Nice is one of these. It's like hospitality. It's their 467 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:37.319 version of Southern hospitality. It's just be a good human, be nice to 468 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:40.000 people, be polite, to be proper. And I love that about rag 469 00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:44.759 Brye because overall Rag Brye, the bile, the bicycle ride in the summer, 470 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:49.359 which we did with the backyard grill. That was a good time over 471 00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:52.000 there. I was a sagman the support and gear. And while I was 472 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:57.039 there, Mark mcshaffrey, there's our name drop right there, the man who 473 00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.720 puts all that behind, all the muscle, behind the byg and the rag 474 00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.119 Bright crew and the brew crew. So I mean, he's the guy who 475 00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:08.960 created all that and we're just fortunate to know him and be friends with him, 476 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:14.119 and it's great. And he came up with this idea that everybody on 477 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.160 the team, on the rag Bright team needed to have these shirts, and 478 00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:22.440 everybody has a nickname on there, and they put their patches, they sew 479 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.160 their riding patches on the back. Well, I don't ride, I'm the 480 00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:29.720 sagman. I drive, I haul their gear, and I also buy their 481 00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:34.759 beer. So I reached out to some breweries in Iowa saying, hey, 482 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.599 all these guys get their riding patches, I want to put beer patches on 483 00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:45.039 the back of my shirt. And Toppling in Goliath and Reunion Brewery in Iowa 484 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:50.480 said that's cool, send us your address. We're gonna mail you some stuff. 485 00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.119 So T and g Man, Toppling, Goliathe Reunion Brewery, thank you 486 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:57.480 so much for mailing me some stuff. I've reached out to a few other 487 00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:01.240 breweries. I'm not gonna say which brewery, but there was one particular brewery 488 00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:05.519 that had a three dollar patch and charge me fifteen dollars in shipping. But 489 00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:07.400 I was like, okay, all right, well it's an eighteen dollar patch, 490 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.599 but I'm not gonna I didn't expect it for free. I did not, 491 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:15.199 but I was like the same. Another brewery just down the street from 492 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:19.280 them, though, had the same type three dollar patch and they charged me 493 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.440 nothing and they threw in some extra stuff too, so I got I got 494 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:24.559 some stuff. But I really wanted to say top in Goliath and Reunion, 495 00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:28.400 thank you very much. So that was cool. Now I'm gonna have some 496 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:31.400 patches on the back of my shirt. I know this is people might not 497 00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:36.599 understand this, but there's nothing like the beer community. How they really help 498 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:38.920 each other out. And I'm not sure were really other industries that do that. 499 00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:43.679 For example, there will be a brewery down the road from another brewery 500 00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:45.840 and they'll run out of grain, and they're competing breweries and they'll run out 501 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:49.440 of grain, and they'll call their brewery down the street, Hey, we 502 00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.880 just ran out of this grain. Do you have any extra that grain? 503 00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:55.559 Yeah, stop on by. They do that. Tell me another industry that 504 00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:59.920 does that. So Chad calls them up and says, hey, I want 505 00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:01.320 to, you know, have these patches, and they send these patches to 506 00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:04.679 them. Yeah. I know they're not gonna do that just for anybody. 507 00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:06.800 I'm not gonna do that just all the time, and I didn't expect it. 508 00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:08.639 I told him I'll pay for the patches and I'll even pay for the 509 00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:13.480 postage. And somebody, and I hate to say it, but the one 510 00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:19.920 brewery that I did that's charged me the like fifteen dollars for shipping. It 511 00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.480 was an automated response, and it kind of came back from their website and 512 00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:28.159 I was like, okay, by our merchandise, go here, and and 513 00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:31.079 I was trying to talk to a human being and well, it just kept 514 00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:35.679 directing me to the merch Those times are over. We're you're gonna talk to 515 00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:42.840 a human being. Now everything's just automated. AI. Baby, it's happening. 516 00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.519 And we kind of talked about it like a two years ago, I 517 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:49.800 think, and we're like, wouldn't wouldn't it be crazy? If you know, 518 00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.639 one day, Alexa or Siri, we're brewing beer and like ha ha, 519 00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:54.320 And now the next thing you know, we're looking at it like, 520 00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:58.840 oh, this is actually really happening. You know what's freaky about that is 521 00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:02.000 I used to be able to do that joke with you where we yell and 522 00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:06.039 I can't even yell it now, but I'll say it differently. But i'd 523 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.840 say, hey, Alexa, but we yell it. Remember we used do 524 00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:13.840 that. Now I have so many devices that if I do that, everything 525 00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:16.679 starts going yeah. Uh huh what ding ding? And everything starts going off. 526 00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:21.440 My holy crap. We used to be able to do joke about that. 527 00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:23.719 Can't do it anymore. Well, then our homes became smart, right, 528 00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:28.519 yes, smart? Yeah, And when they became smart, that's whenever 529 00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:31.639 people started, you know, I don't know, putting microwaves and stoves together 530 00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:37.199 and programming Internet ever, dumbest thing ever. Now you can't even fix my 531 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:38.639 microwave. Now my oven broke. Yeah, I know. Well, maybe 532 00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:44.320 AI can help you out because AI seems to guess what answered the automated service 533 00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:49.039 answered? I know. I know you can't get away from it. I 534 00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.280 know that. I'll tell you if you find real customer service right now on 535 00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:57.119 the phone, a real person. It's a good thing. But James, 536 00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:01.239 I hate to tell you this, but new data suggests that AI artificial intelligence. 537 00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:06.440 If you're not hip with the lingo AI, it's coming for your beer 538 00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:09.400 job. Yeah, we've already seen it right now. It's that we've had 539 00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:15.760 AI create recipes for beers to see if they can brew better beer than brew 540 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.840 masters. And now there's a brewer that did that experiment, and I mean, 541 00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:23.480 thank god, the human brewer one. But still it's like all they 542 00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:25.880 have to do is two tweaks of a recipe and next thing, you know, 543 00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:30.320 it's gonna be brewing better than the That's right, ye human brew master 544 00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:32.119 and the brew master. Yeah, yeah, the AI brew master. You 545 00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:35.840 know, it just needs a little oil and you know, you occasionally a 546 00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.920 control alt, delete, reset, But I mean, it doesn't need breaks 547 00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:44.360 or insurance or anything else. And that's kind of freaky. But when I 548 00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:47.280 say that new data suggests that AI artificial intelligence is coming for beer jobs, 549 00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:52.400 we're not necessarily talking about just brew master jobs. But according to data that 550 00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:59.599 comes from a group called just Drinks, which is a segment of global data. 551 00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:04.840 They track job postings across various industries, and looking at the beer and 552 00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:08.360 brewing industry, they looked at the time frame from June of twenty twenty two 553 00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:13.880 to the same time in twenty twenty three, and they found that breweries posted 554 00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:22.440 one hundred and eighty seven AI artificial intelligence related jobs compared to just ninety three 555 00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:27.960 twelve months prior. An increase of one hundred and one percent. That's crazy. 556 00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:30.599 Now, when you sit here, like one hundred and one percent increase 557 00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:32.239 in the number of jobs, you're like, whoa, that's crazy, right 558 00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:36.320 exactly. But when you start looking at it's like, well it's only one 559 00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:39.360 hundred and eighty seven jobs versus ninety three, you're like, oh, well, 560 00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:44.719 that's not that big of a difference. However, everything has to be 561 00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:47.800 taken in context. That's why I love doing data reports. Here, everything 562 00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:52.960 in context. This is the beginning of what we may see as a trend. 563 00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:57.519 Not only time is going to tell if this is the case, but 564 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:04.079 according to this information, they're taking an account brewing, marketing, salespeople, 565 00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:07.519 distributors, all of this. When you look at this one hundred and one 566 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:13.880 percent increase in anything is notable. It's going to be watched and it's going 567 00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:19.119 to be monitored, and if it's successful, you can anticipate exponential growth. 568 00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:22.840 Now, unsurprisingly, you know who's banking the big push. It's those who 569 00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.239 have the dollars to invest in it. It's the big companies and Heiser Busch, 570 00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:30.519 Heineken, IBBEV, while ABMBEV that's the same group, Radberger and others. 571 00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:35.559 These are the top job posters in that industry. But you know that 572 00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:37.760 if it's successful, they're going to double down and it's going to continue to 573 00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:44.000 grow. So breweries they've got to deal with the whole logistics and accounting, 574 00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:47.039 data crunching paperwork. Hey, if there's anything that you can automate and you 575 00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:50.159 can do it, they're going to find ways to do it, to streamline, 576 00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:53.000 to be more efficient because margins in the beer business are razor thin, 577 00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:58.599 competition is heavy, and there are a lot of competitors in the market. 578 00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:01.239 There are a lot of people out there. So report found out that in 579 00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:06.559 the global beverage industry and they did the math on this computer and math jobs 580 00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:10.599 make up forty five percent of new AI jobs. So whoa. So if 581 00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:16.320 you're doing accounting, finance collections, forty five percent of new age jobs are 582 00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:21.280 in that segment. Wow, that's that's a lot. So it's entirely new 583 00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:24.079 to go into the beer industry like this, but AI can help breweries more 584 00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:29.679 efficiently handle all of these tasks. And unfortunately, some of this news is 585 00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:32.199 going to overshadow the actual brewing. But time will tell whether or not this 586 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:37.159 pays off, and the story is not going away. We will be I 587 00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:38.800 think it's only going to get bigger. Yep, it is all right. 588 00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:42.159 That is our number one of what's on tap radio coming up next hour. 589 00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:45.519 We got an interview coming up, Hold my beer and watched this and we're 590 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:47.320 gonna talk about did Kid Rock commit trees? And a lot of our listeners 591 00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:50.960 reach out to us and wanted us discuss this. We're gonna do it. 592 00:40:51.000 --> 00:41:01.039 We'll be right back. This is what's on tap radio. Stat I'm a 593 00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:10.119 scot Man at this hour. We got an interview coming up, pull my 594 00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:15.239 beer momentarily, and then a lot of our listeners reach out to us and 595 00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:21.559 said, hey, do you think that Kid Rock commented treason? So a 596 00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:25.320 lot to get to, a lot to get to. All right, Chad's 597 00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:30.320 empty. Time for Chad to crack another beer. Yeah, I was messing 598 00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:32.239 around earlier whenever I said, you know, to beat the heat, you 599 00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:36.480 need a good october Fest. But that was a tasty beer. But since 600 00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:38.519 I did bring up Iowa, I want to dive right in here. This 601 00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:42.360 is a beer I picked up during rag Bry and I brought it home. 602 00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:47.800 Something that's made says canned for the lake. Well that sounds refreshing already. 603 00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:54.599 How about the West Oh Brewing Company out of they're here in Iowa. I'm 604 00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:58.440 looking for the location. Oh, of course, i'd look it up. 605 00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:06.679 West Oak Bogie. Yeah, West Okabogi. Uh yeah, isn't isn't isn't 606 00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:09.119 our good friend Brandy. Isn't she from there? Is that an Oregon? 607 00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:15.440 No? No, it's an Iowa. Oh she's from She's from She's from 608 00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:20.639 Oregon or parents winery in there? Yeah, that's right. But anyway, 609 00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:27.239 this particular shandy is a This is a Lemon Raspberry Shandy limited release from West 610 00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:30.400 Oh. Let's crack this thing open and see how refreshing it is because it 611 00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:32.719 says it was made for the lake. I want to give a shout out 612 00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:38.559 to Fire Marshall Matt. Last week I brought the shandy from Paris Brewing Company 613 00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:43.800 and he was drinking alongside with us the same beer. I thought that was 614 00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:45.840 awesome. Thank you Fire Marshall Matt for reaching out to us and showing us 615 00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:50.599 that. I like that a lot. James, how's it taste? How's 616 00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:52.480 it taste? It tastes like summer? It's first of all, I love 617 00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:59.440 raspberries, blueberries, Devil's fruit raspberry, angel fruit. This is amazing, 618 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:02.480 but I want to say one I'm gonna give one little caveat to this. 619 00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:09.719 Shandies generally mouth feeling body. They're a little bit lighter, a little bit 620 00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:15.079 more crisp, a little bit more acidity and tartness. This has a little 621 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:22.039 more body to it than I would expect. It's it's almost it finishes nice 622 00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:25.719 and clean, but it has a little more body to it. But overall, 623 00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:31.840 absolutely delicious. I'm a fan. I'm gonna drink all of these. 624 00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:37.360 My wife's not getting any and I was looking for the ABV on this one 625 00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:42.320 here, but I can't seem to find it. But yummy delicious. West 626 00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:49.360 O Brewing Company, Lake West, Sorry, Woa west oko O bougie oi 627 00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:52.760 oh, I don't even know how to pronounce it. Iowa. Thanks guys. 628 00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:53.599 All right, I'm gonna crack a beer here in a second, but 629 00:43:53.639 --> 00:43:59.599 I do want to do this number a real quick Hold my beer and watch 630 00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:04.280 this brought to you by the Ring alta ten haken insurance group where they'll cover 631 00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:10.480 you for just about everything except this. I understand the fascination, and it's 632 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:15.719 a lot of Americans or the culprits of this. They go overseas and they'll 633 00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:21.280 go to like the Colosseum in Rome and like carve their names into the structure, 634 00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:28.079 causing damage. I don't know why they feel like it's necessary to cause 635 00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:34.480 destruction on you know, a historical structure like that, a historical landmark. 636 00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:37.800 Sure, but it happens time after time. Now not so much in this 637 00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:42.880 story, but it kind of falls in the same footsteps because it involves people 638 00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:45.880 getting drunk and doing something stupid. I remember when there was an American who 639 00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:51.920 went to Singapore and they have a they have a rule there you can't spit 640 00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:55.880 in Singapore, and somebody somebody's spit in public. They spit on the street. 641 00:44:57.159 --> 00:45:00.159 I'm perfect. He was arrested for He was arrested for it. And 642 00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:05.400 his punishment he was caned. They took a cane and they beat his ass. 643 00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:09.760 It's like this guy who was visiting in North Korea and I've somehow he 644 00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:14.559 got access to it and in the hotel he stole like a picture off a 645 00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:20.199 wall. I mean why yeah, anyway, So here's here's what happened. 646 00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:22.519 Now. You you probably heard of people go into like a park or a 647 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:27.199 cemetery or something and hiding out and not leaving when the place closes, because 648 00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:30.480 you know, they want to see what happens overnight and they want to stay 649 00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:34.280 overnight until the morning. I've never done that, but people do that. 650 00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:37.719 You know, they sneak into the cemeteries and maybe they're gonna see a ghost 651 00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:42.079 or something. But what happened here. Two people were caught having an illegal 652 00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:46.840 sleepover in the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France. Eiffel Tower. All right, 653 00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:51.400 hold, lot of say so far. I'm kind of laughing about this 654 00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:54.920 because it sounds kind of cool, like, hey, we managed to pull 655 00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:59.079 this off. We got to spend the night in the Eiffel Tower. That 656 00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:04.159 sounds kind of get I get the angle, but why Okay, the two 657 00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:07.320 American tourists didn't say where, but you know, we have our guesses. 658 00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:12.920 They were able to dodge security on a Sunday night and weren't caught until the 659 00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:16.239 guards were making their rounds before opening on Monday, so they were almost in 660 00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:20.440 the clear. They were almost made it. But that's what that's where pretty 661 00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:22.800 much happens. You let your guard down. You're like, oh, yeah, 662 00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.039 we got this, and then they got caught. So officials say they 663 00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:30.400 were drunk there. That's probably why they got caught. They probably drank through 664 00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:31.599 the night. They probably weren't sleeping. They're like, we can't fall asleep, 665 00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:34.760 we gotta stay awake and remember the whole thing. Hey, we brought 666 00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:36.920 beer, right, Yeah, cool, let's keep drinking. It probably weren't 667 00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:39.360 drinking all night, probably putting this on TikTok or whatever. But yeah, 668 00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:43.920 the officials said they were drunk. It's not clear if they accidentally passed out 669 00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:46.199 up there or if it was just you know, they were just playing hatched 670 00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:50.679 under the influence. But they were caught, and the security guards noted that 671 00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:52.679 they didn't seem to pose any threats, which is good, but it is 672 00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:57.559 against the rules. And they did file a criminal complaint with the police, 673 00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:00.760 and it sounds like it's just a minor trust passing this sort of thing. 674 00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:06.960 They'll probably be fine. And but they weren't any specifics on what happened or 675 00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:09.760 if they were gonna be hit with any jail time. But two Americans were 676 00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:16.280 caught drunk sleeping at the Eiffel Tower. Real quick, James, My guess 677 00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:20.960 somebody's gonna go up there in a year or two. They're gonna be walking 678 00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:24.159 through and they're gonna find Hey, who carved these initials in the Eiffel Tower. 679 00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:28.079 Oh, I'm sure it's gonna happen. Yeah, it's like these people 680 00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:30.719 that you know they stay at the Walmart. They hide out at the Walmart 681 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:34.679 or the Target or the bed bath and beyond you know these you know they 682 00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:37.440 hide out, these squatters. I know, we gotta take a break, 683 00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:40.559 but this is sparked a new tourism. And I don't know if you've heard 684 00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:44.079 this in not chat, but I'm gonna roll this. Our sales department wanted 685 00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:47.639 us to roll this. But yeah, this is sparked a knew drunk tour. 686 00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:52.599 This is interesting. Do you like carving your name into the walls of 687 00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:57.159 the Colosseum or getting drunk and spending the night on the Eiffel Tower. Well, 688 00:47:57.159 --> 00:48:00.760 it's nothing new here.

Move over, John Hancock, it looks like Seymour Butts is 691 00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:15.880 the biggest signature now. Or booze your way through Philadelphia and take an off 692 00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:20.239 balance swing at the Liberty Bell I rang the bell, Where's my prize? 693 00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:25.199 And finally, no boozy tour of America is complete without taking a grand whiz 694 00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:34.199 into the Grand Canyon.

You've got mail, You've got 714 00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:13.760 mail because we saw ao. Well I'm just kidding. Uh, but it 715 00:50:13.880 --> 00:50:19.039 seems like and we're not We don't really talk much politics on this show, 716 00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:24.599 but it seems like the right is really losing its mind over this story. 717 00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:31.000 But the subject of its scorn is one of its own kid rock all right, 718 00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:35.480 because real quick, I want to interect I want to interject one thing. 719 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:40.079 Yeah, I get hit all the time from people who say, yeah, 720 00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:45.480 I like your show because you guys talk about beer. But I can 721 00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:49.599 tell that you guys lean this way and then and then all of a sudden, 722 00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:52.440 somebody and somebody will say, well, yeah, you know, I 723 00:50:52.800 --> 00:50:55.960 know which way you vote based on your comments. Second here and you know 724 00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:59.559 what, here's the thing. If you know, if you can figure that 725 00:50:59.559 --> 00:51:02.199 out about me personally or James, okay, good for you, but that's 726 00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:06.760 not what we put in the content of this show. And now all of 727 00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:12.239 a sudden, I'm making comments about uh like kid Rock, loot, you 728 00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:14.480 know, this Kid Rock story, and I'm talking to people. It was 729 00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:16.320 like, well, wait a minute, I thought you were and they're like, 730 00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:21.480 wait a minute, wait a minute. We report the news. We 731 00:51:21.639 --> 00:51:24.599 report what was happening. Yes, we had commentary, but we are objective, 732 00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:30.679 and like James said, I'll tell you this is pretty interesting. People 733 00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:34.599 are losing their minds over this stuff. Now, if you're not familiar with 734 00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:37.880 the Kid Rock story, James, do you want to reset? Kind of? 735 00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:43.840 So when the when the story came out of Dylan mulvaney, I guess 736 00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:46.840 I don't want to say a promotion because it really wasn't a promotion. Basically, 737 00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:52.679 bud Light put a transactivists a can and Dylan was the only one that 738 00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:55.920 got the can. But everybody blew up, right, and then bad Light 739 00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:02.239 bashed their uh their oil drinkers, right, and then kid kid Rock kind 740 00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.079 of sparked it all because Kid Rock was you know, he went this whole 741 00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:09.920 thing on social media where he took cases of bud Light on his ranch and 742 00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:16.800 blew it up with shot it up with his fifteen R fifteen exactly. So 743 00:52:17.480 --> 00:52:23.239 news has developed because apparently he was spotted at a concert in Nashville last weekend 744 00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:29.079 doing the unthinkable. No, no, he was drinking a bud light. 745 00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:44.360 No so kid rock fans everywhere moaning in despair. No kremitic trastion. Man, 746 00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:49.960 No, this is America. What are you doing? Oh my god. 747 00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:52.440 And this comes on the heels of just a few months ago, like 748 00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:55.159 I just mentioned, film posting a video of shooting cases of butt light saying 749 00:52:55.480 --> 00:53:00.639 fu bud Light fu an Hauser bush All because they partnered up the transactivist to 750 00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:07.480 sell some more beer to the LGBTQ community. But that actually backfired, backfired 751 00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:10.679 everyway. It's gonna be a case study for every marketing. It really will 752 00:53:10.679 --> 00:53:15.920 be. There will be a chapter in books to come. But yeah, 753 00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:20.400 the video did help spearhead the cancelation of bud Light. It affect the sales. 754 00:53:20.519 --> 00:53:22.440 It was down. We reported it much on the show. But now 755 00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:29.599 the same people would jump in the bandwagon want to cancel Kid Rock. One 756 00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:34.039 guy even claims that he's already shot up Kid Rocks albums. Oh wow, 757 00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:37.039 yeah, but if there's no video of it, did it really happen. 758 00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:39.880 I'm sure there's a video out there somewhere. But because here's the thing, 759 00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:44.159 you're not gonna shoot up. I mean, let's just be honest. Okay. 760 00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:46.440 Whenever you feel like your favorite sports guy traded you, you know, 761 00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:51.960 betrayed you because he took a deal with your rival team, you go out 762 00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:54.639 and you watch these guys they burned the jerseys or when they didn't like Nike 763 00:53:55.119 --> 00:53:59.599 for being you know, not you know, speaking out against China or whatever, 764 00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:01.440 and they burn the Nikes and all this other stuff. It was like, 765 00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:05.679 nobody does that and says, yeah, I did that, but yeah, 766 00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:08.559 yeah, I don't have any video of it. They all have video 767 00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:13.199 of it. So this guy says he shut up all the kid Rock albums. 768 00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:15.960 Yeah apparently. But this also we mentioned on the show a few weeks 769 00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:21.599 ago that somebody was going to sneak some bud light into Kid Rocks bar Nashville. 770 00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:23.639 But when he goes into the bar, or they go into the bar, 771 00:54:24.119 --> 00:54:27.920 they realize that, oh, I don't need to sneak the bud light 772 00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:30.679 in here because they have bud light on tap. They have Anheuser Busch products 773 00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:35.880 on tap. So interesting. It kind of makes me wonder, did really, 774 00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:37.639 Kid Rock, did he actually stop drinking by light? Was it just 775 00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:40.960 like a whole bit with his curtains clothes, He was, you know, 776 00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:45.840 drinking the bud light the whole time. I don't know. I like to 777 00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:50.800 refer to this, and I know this is my commentary segment here. I 778 00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:55.760 like to refer to this as selective outrage. I am angry when it suits 779 00:54:55.800 --> 00:55:00.000 me and it's convenient, but whenever it no longer suits me, or it's 780 00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:06.400 no longer convenient, whatever, right, well I'll do whatever, yeah, 781 00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:09.639 whatever. So and now conspiracy theorist are coming out here, going well, 782 00:55:09.679 --> 00:55:15.199 that picture is five years old. How do we know that pictures a few 783 00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:17.320 weeks ago? You know, it's the whole back and forth arguing, But 784 00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:22.199 apparently Kid Rock was spotted drinking a bud light. Well, you know, 785 00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:24.800 after shooting up case of bud light saying that do you know that it was 786 00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:29.119 in his bar? And he said heck no, So I don't know. 787 00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:31.320 I don't know. That's that's interesting, all right, well, James, 788 00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:36.920 on the flip side of that, I mean bud light it's light. It's 789 00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:45.599 light, it's very light. It's their hot profile is pretty non existent malt 790 00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:50.360 flavor. It's just light and crisp and refreshing. Supposedly, that's like the 791 00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:53.760 only flavor profile of light beer. The flip side of that, though, 792 00:55:53.960 --> 00:55:59.599 James, pastry stouts. Okay, you see where I'm going here. I 793 00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:02.280 do see where we're going. No, I don't actually at all pastry stouts. 794 00:56:02.719 --> 00:56:07.840 Pastry stouts there. If you're not familiar with pastry stouts. They are 795 00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:10.400 rich, they are thick, they're even gloopy and gloppy. Oh yeah, 796 00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:14.960 I gotta be careful with that term. But they can get in trouble if 797 00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:20.079 you use that wrong. But that it's actually a compliment now to be able 798 00:56:20.159 --> 00:56:23.480 to say that looking out thick and rich and smoothie like my beer is. 799 00:56:23.519 --> 00:56:29.400 Well. Turns out that speaking of pastries, there is a sweet, delectable 800 00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:34.960 treat that is now found in liquor form. Yeah, forty proof, that's 801 00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:42.440 twenty percent alcohol and it's a blend of booze and one of your favorite breakfast 802 00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:49.400 treats. Maybe you're thinking you are too old to enjoy an eggo waffle with 803 00:56:49.519 --> 00:56:53.119 sweet maple syrup and rich butter and a hint of smoky bacon. But not 804 00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:57.519 if you're required to show ID to buy it. And now you can, 805 00:56:57.719 --> 00:57:04.039 Ladies and gentlemen, there is now an Ego Brunch in a Jar sipping cream, 806 00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:14.039 a forty proof boozy concoction that combines eggo waffles and alcohol. Yes, 807 00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:19.239 that's right. So this twenty percent alcohol is a blend of all those flavors 808 00:57:19.239 --> 00:57:22.480 that I just talked about, sweet maple syrup, rich butter, and a 809 00:57:22.599 --> 00:57:28.440 hint of smoky bacon. Now why would you want to do this? Well, 810 00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:31.519 I mean I'm oh, yeah, I am too. Yeah, I 811 00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:36.519 mean this sounds like a great deal. I mean, what better way to 812 00:57:36.559 --> 00:57:39.239 start off your day with a special morning booze. Yeah, maybe you're not 813 00:57:39.320 --> 00:57:45.119 in the mimosa thing, but hey, liquid Ego yum, right there, 814 00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:50.719 Ego Brunch in a Jar. It's gonna be available at select retailers Nationwideen's only 815 00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:53.079 select states. I'm not sure we didn't do the research on it. There's 816 00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:57.599 a link here, and we didn't do that. But this is not the 817 00:57:57.639 --> 00:58:01.400 first time that Ego has gotten drunk. Oh what? Yeah? For the 818 00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:06.320 holidays. Last year, they partnered up with the same distillery that is giving 819 00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:12.920 you Ego Brunch and a jar cream and they made Ego Nog, which, 820 00:58:13.480 --> 00:58:19.119 as you can imagine, is a boozy concoction of Ego waffle flavored eggnog. 821 00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:24.320 I think it's only a matter of time before Martin House Brewery says, hey, 822 00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:30.840 I want to make an Ego version of some It's gonna be like a 823 00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:35.679 Belgian waffle. Yeah. So Ego's coming out with their own special booze that 824 00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:38.000 pairs with waffles. Yeah, what a time, What a time to be 825 00:58:38.039 --> 00:58:42.159 alive. I know, I got I got, I got an Ego waffle 826 00:58:42.199 --> 00:58:45.360 and I got a liquid Ego waffle. All right, So uh yeah, 827 00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:49.519 you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning. And Ego's 828 00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:52.760 got you covered. Interesting. All right, we gotta take a break. 829 00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:55.920 But coming up, I caught up with Project Halo Brewing Company again. We're 830 00:58:55.960 --> 00:59:01.159 gonna talk about controversial topic cold India paleles. Chad's already got that vein, 831 00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:04.599 stick it out of his neck and all this is so much more. We'll 832 00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:07.440 be right back. And the teacher said, no, Bobby, there's no 833 00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:14.599 such time as bureau o'clock. Fire that teacher. This is what's on tap 834 00:59:14.719 --> 00:59:28.880 radio? All right, welcome back to What's on Tap Radio. So I 835 00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:31.679 got out of a studio headed a fulster, Texas, met up with a 836 00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:37.039 husband and wife team, Melissa and Steve Mendez of Project Halo Brewing Company. 837 00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:42.599 They just celebrated their first anniversary and I sat down with him and I asked 838 00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:45.679 him what are some of the challenges they face in the first year of business. 839 00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:49.000 Honestly, I think, man, we're pretty much perfect, you know 840 00:59:49.239 --> 00:59:52.039 now, I'm just kidding out. How much time do you have? You 841 00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:54.719 know, you learn all the time. I've heard many people describe businesses as 842 00:59:54.760 --> 01:00:00.800 being, you know, constantly failing right to learn new lessons. But it's 843 01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:04.800 been a pretty fun ride learning stuff. We've had our challenges. We had 844 01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.320 our challenges during build out as well, because inflation hit us pretty hard. 845 01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:10.000 But it's continued to hit us now. But we've been pretty resilient, adapted 846 01:00:10.039 --> 01:00:14.199 pretty well, and you know, we're continuing to grow and we're excited about 847 01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:19.400 that. So and uh, it's a family owner and operated Melissa Steve married, 848 01:00:19.880 --> 01:00:23.639 that's right, yep. What is it like running a business as partners. 849 01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:27.559 It's scary, you know, I gotta do what she tells me to 850 01:00:27.599 --> 01:00:31.000 do, and she threatened me sometimes, so I'm just kidding. Uh, 851 01:00:31.239 --> 01:00:34.639 It's pretty cool, man. You know, when you work with the person 852 01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:37.239 that you love and your best friend, it's pretty easy to just kind of 853 01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:38.679 let her do her thing, we do my thing, and you know, 854 01:00:38.679 --> 01:00:42.400 we'll meet up and talk about it whenever we have time. And it's pretty 855 01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:45.320 fluid so far. So no major issues. I know some people out there, 856 01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:47.760 I've had some struggles, but nothing crazy during freshman year. So what 857 01:00:49.119 --> 01:00:53.320 about you, Melissa, what's been some of the challenges that working with your 858 01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:58.679 spouse or even you know, having a small business, running a small business, 859 01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:02.480 especially with your spouse. Yeah, well, with working with Steve, 860 01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:06.480 you know, I take care of like he said, I take care of 861 01:01:06.480 --> 01:01:07.800 my stuff. He takes care of his stuff. And then so we're not 862 01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:13.079 like together all the time. So it's not I don't know, I don't 863 01:01:13.119 --> 01:01:15.920 it's not a big deal, I guess. Yeah, we have very defined 864 01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:17.639 lane, so, like you know, the brillin space is her lane, 865 01:01:17.679 --> 01:01:20.719 so I don't dabble with that at all. You know, she does that 866 01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:23.400 on her own and I'll just check in on her like milestones, making sure 867 01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:25.760 we're on track on certain things, and she'll tell me if we need to 868 01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:30.159 adjust or not. And it's pretty easy, you know. It's just she 869 01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:31.679 does what she does and I do what I do, and you know, 870 01:01:31.719 --> 01:01:36.320 that's pretty much it. Yeah, Now, do you take work home with 871 01:01:36.360 --> 01:01:38.440 you, meaning that when you go home you're sitting at the dinner table. 872 01:01:38.679 --> 01:01:44.199 Do you try to separate and balance work life versus a home life or do 873 01:01:44.199 --> 01:01:47.280 you all talk shop at home as well? I think right now, because 874 01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:52.400 we're still so new that we do take work home. Just there's not enough 875 01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:58.039 hours in the day to you know, run this business, so we do, 876 01:01:58.159 --> 01:02:00.880 but we still try to I don't know, have Yeah, it's it's 877 01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:05.000 almost impossible since you know, we were a startup and we're still, you 878 01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:07.920 know, a young brewery. We just now hired our tap room manager and 879 01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:12.880 we have a staff that we're comfortable with right now, so that may take 880 01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:15.239 off some of those small little ankle biters off the table for us, and 881 01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:19.239 we may be able to actually, you know, not have brewery talk twenty 882 01:02:19.239 --> 01:02:21.480 four seven. But for the time being, that's just kind of the way 883 01:02:21.519 --> 01:02:23.079 it goes. We actually joke around all the time and say, if we 884 01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:25.239 just could add two more days of the week, we'd be we'd be good, 885 01:02:25.239 --> 01:02:28.039 you know, like two more days of the week, a couple more 886 01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:30.239 hours in the day. Yep, that's right. So I understand that you 887 01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:35.119 actually went to school for brewing. Talked about where where'd you go to school? 888 01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:39.559 I took a course from West Texas A and M and it's a It 889 01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:45.880 was a certificate program for Professional brewing impermentation. It was it was online since 890 01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:51.840 it was twenty twenty. Yeah, I so watched a lot of videos, 891 01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:53.840 a lot of a lot of studying at home. Yeah, that wasn't the 892 01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:57.559 plan. Obviously we had a pivot, right, but yeah, that was 893 01:02:57.599 --> 01:03:00.679 the whole that was a buzzword of that year. Yeah, we don't like 894 01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:01.800 to discuss that year, like, yeah, pivot, pivot, pivot. 895 01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:07.159 What's the course hard? It's science? Man. Yeah, there were some 896 01:03:07.320 --> 01:03:08.920 parts that were Yes, they were they were pretty difficult. And he said 897 01:03:08.920 --> 01:03:13.280 he did it online, Like how how how do you do it online? 898 01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:15.360 I mean did they tell you, like, hey, go out and get 899 01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:20.599 these beers and sample it. Yes? And no. So every course was 900 01:03:20.760 --> 01:03:23.119 recorded, I mean, every every class was recorded. So I got to 901 01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:27.079 see them doing certain things and they would say, you know, we're going 902 01:03:27.159 --> 01:03:30.599 to do this to test off flavors or what's the exam hard? No, 903 01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:36.920 one, not that hard. And the final I had to do a internship. 904 01:03:36.960 --> 01:03:39.440 An internship. Oh what did your internship had? Ingenious brewing? Okay? 905 01:03:39.559 --> 01:03:43.559 So I had to do an internship to receive my certificate, and I 906 01:03:43.719 --> 01:03:47.719 discussed and structures. Instructors were always there, you know, with whatever questions 907 01:03:47.719 --> 01:03:52.480 I had. So the final was speaking to the instructors. Professor James Carlisle 908 01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:59.519 your name drop was? It was he the professor. He was the one 909 01:03:59.599 --> 01:04:01.119 at that Yeah, genius, did you have like a lab coat and a 910 01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:03.480 clipboard? And who was Yeah? Were you there? No? I mean 911 01:04:03.559 --> 01:04:08.639 this is what I can imagine that. So you you got your certificate and 912 01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:11.760 at that point you're probably like, Okay, let's open up a brewery in 913 01:04:12.079 --> 01:04:15.519 Fullster, Texas kind of an untapped market. I know that we have the 914 01:04:15.519 --> 01:04:18.119 growler spot not too far away, but this is an area that's really like 915 01:04:18.199 --> 01:04:20.280 kind of developing. Every time I drive out here is like, oh, 916 01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:25.440 this is that's new. That's new? Why Fullster, Texas? Because it's 917 01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:30.719 close to our house. Smart We're lazy people. No, we did our 918 01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:33.119 risk analysis and we looked at the air at demographics. We really felt like 919 01:04:33.159 --> 01:04:35.920 it was one of those places that kind of was a brewery desert. I 920 01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:39.239 know, no label and full worker down the road and stuff like that, 921 01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:42.199 but when you really say down the road, that's like twenty five minutes down 922 01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:45.760 the road, right, So things have been shaping more into hyperlocal focus. 923 01:04:45.800 --> 01:04:48.280 Brewery's kind of like preprobation times. So you know, when we looked at 924 01:04:48.320 --> 01:04:51.039 all the data, I just really made sense. And you know, our 925 01:04:51.079 --> 01:04:54.000 friends over at the Growler Spot, you know, they've been there for a 926 01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:56.719 really long time. They were kind of like one of the big, big 927 01:04:56.760 --> 01:05:00.280 like icons in the craft beer scene as well. We've been big fans those 928 01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:02.239 guys for a long time. But we felt like adding the brewery would also 929 01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:05.119 kind of help bringing more people into Full Shure as well, and kind of 930 01:05:05.199 --> 01:05:09.599 we've seen some of that so far. So pretty cool. Tune in here. 931 01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:14.880 I'm actually broadcasting outside of studio. Project Halo got Melissa Steve Mendez Project 932 01:05:14.920 --> 01:05:18.559 Halo. Tell me about the experience somebody walks into Project Halo. What kind 933 01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:21.400 of experienced are they going to get? Yeah, so the biggest principle that 934 01:05:21.440 --> 01:05:25.920 we kind of like share with our our employees is, you know, customer 935 01:05:25.960 --> 01:05:30.159 experience is the most important thing that we like to focus on. So engaging 936 01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:32.239 the customers and getting to know them, that's party number one for us. 937 01:05:32.239 --> 01:05:34.960 And that's what you're gonna expect when you walk in. You're gonna be creating 938 01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:38.119 when you walk in the door. We're gonna take time to get to know 939 01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:41.719 you, talk with you, and eventually become in frequent enough, we'll definitely, 940 01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:44.400 you know, know everything about you and you'll know everything about us, 941 01:05:44.400 --> 01:05:47.760 and it'll be a friendship. So that's kind of how we like to do 942 01:05:48.039 --> 01:05:53.360 business. And we feel like people are really resonating with that, which is 943 01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:56.000 why I feel like we're kind of getting in a lot of tractions. So 944 01:05:56.320 --> 01:06:00.440 and in the first year, you guys accomplish a lot a lot of things. 945 01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:01.000 A partner, Sure, you learned. Where would you like to see 946 01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:03.960 yourself in about you know, maybe three to four years. We're some short 947 01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:08.559 term goals. Short term is more space. We have a smaller space, 948 01:06:08.599 --> 01:06:11.159 but we do have air conditioning and that helps out of ten during the summer. 949 01:06:11.199 --> 01:06:15.079 But we want more tap room space, we want more production capacity, 950 01:06:15.159 --> 01:06:19.039 and we want to expand our canyon production as well to distribution, specifically to 951 01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:21.760 crappier bars. We don't want to go into any stores or anything like that, 952 01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:25.519 but you know, just get the name out there a little bit more 953 01:06:25.519 --> 01:06:28.480 and then just kind of let Melissa keep doing that that good beer that she 954 01:06:28.559 --> 01:06:31.039 does and makes it easy after that. If there's one thing that people should 955 01:06:31.039 --> 01:06:34.760 know about Project Halo, what what should they know? Loggers and cold IPAs 956 01:06:34.760 --> 01:06:39.840 are delicious. Oh yeah, we have a lot of loggers here which is 957 01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:43.400 different and cold IPAs. I love them well. We love our loggers here 958 01:06:43.480 --> 01:06:46.400 in Texas, especially in this heat. But hey, congratulations, I know 959 01:06:46.480 --> 01:06:50.159 that you guys picked up a acculade over the US Beer Open. What'd you 960 01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:55.880 guys win silver and the Logger category? Yeah, the Logger American Lugger Award 961 01:06:55.880 --> 01:06:59.519 winning brewery in their first year. Congratulations, Thank you Melissa. Out of 962 01:06:59.559 --> 01:07:01.239 all the year is that you brewed in the past year, what has been 963 01:07:01.360 --> 01:07:04.360 your favorite beer that you're the beer that you were so proud of, Like, 964 01:07:04.400 --> 01:07:06.360 I can't believe that the beer came out. It's just as good as 965 01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:09.519 it did. I don't know. I've got two. I think you know, 966 01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:13.519 the Frieda, the Frieda Forever, the Cold Ipa. I'm that one's 967 01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:16.199 really good. I'm a big fan of those. We've had it since we 968 01:07:16.320 --> 01:07:20.719 opened because I mean it has a Yeah, it's our second best selling beer, 969 01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:24.880 so I think. And what's the name of it, Frieda Forever, 970 01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:29.000 Frieda Forever Yep? Okay, So Frieda Callo is a big inspiration to both 971 01:07:29.039 --> 01:07:30.000 of us, and that's a big part of our branding. And we have 972 01:07:30.199 --> 01:07:33.280 you know, Frieda all over the tap room. We have pain that we 973 01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:36.039 commissioned for freed to some of our march has freed on it as well. 974 01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:41.039 So so that's the inspiration, that's right, Okay, it even inspired. 975 01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:43.599 I knew we're gonna get. I knew we're gonna get that inspiration. Yeah. 976 01:07:43.639 --> 01:07:45.119 Our beer palets, you know, we call them beer palets because it's 977 01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:48.159 like a painter's palet and it's shaped for you know, five five ounce beers, 978 01:07:48.199 --> 01:07:51.400 but it looks like a painter's palet, you know. So so I'll 979 01:07:51.440 --> 01:07:55.199 throw the question on you, Steve, what is the beer that you're most 980 01:07:55.199 --> 01:07:59.639 proud is it? Also the Cold Ipa? I am incredibly proud of the 981 01:07:59.679 --> 01:08:03.679 Molists is Halo Light like that that logger beer drinks so good and everyone still 982 01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:06.519 continues to call and ask for it when it's in between batches. People are 983 01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:11.079 just like eager to get it in their hands again. So but at the 984 01:08:11.119 --> 01:08:14.159 same time, our Mexican ember logger, the Gottels before Votteles, has also 985 01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:16.239 been our best selling beer since we've opened up, basically, so you know, 986 01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:19.760 to have two loggers that people are just constantly craving and wanting, I 987 01:08:19.800 --> 01:08:23.640 think that's pretty cool. So okay, and we gotta get a little controversial. 988 01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:26.359 I wouldn't be a journalist if I didn't get a little controversial. The 989 01:08:26.479 --> 01:08:30.840 term cold IPA. I hear Chad, my co host, screaming at me 990 01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:34.079 right now saying, do you know there's no such thing as a cold ipa? 991 01:08:34.159 --> 01:08:39.640 You know for the purest because loggers. It's a logger, So it's 992 01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:42.560 ipl what do you what do you say to those out there out there are 993 01:08:42.600 --> 01:08:45.359 like, there's no such thing as cold IPAs, because I feel that there's 994 01:08:45.439 --> 01:08:47.600 might be one or two people, mainly my co host. Yeah, and 995 01:08:48.039 --> 01:08:50.279 we've heard a lot of people will be stubborn about it. But if they 996 01:08:50.279 --> 01:08:55.439 actually break down the science behind it and look at it right, there's a 997 01:08:55.520 --> 01:08:59.680 very pretty significant difference between two styles. And you know, if you want 998 01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:01.520 to call it an ipl as long as you like to drink it, that's 999 01:09:01.560 --> 01:09:03.760 cool, man. If you want to call it a cold IPA, call 1000 01:09:03.800 --> 01:09:06.279 it whatever you want. I think there's a difference. There's a big difference 1001 01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:10.439 between a Baltic porter, you know, and a California common you know, 1002 01:09:10.479 --> 01:09:14.159 those use similar styles and and as far as like the productions out of it, 1003 01:09:14.199 --> 01:09:16.039 but you need to use you know, ale or logger gise those but 1004 01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:19.359 you know, no one says anything about that. But hanging out with Steve 1005 01:09:19.640 --> 01:09:27.399 and Melissa Mendez Project Halo on the topic of controversial styles, IPLs IPA, 1006 01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:29.600 it's what I don't care. I just like a good beer. But I 1007 01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:34.439 think also the cold IPA, it's the ingredients because you use an adjunct either 1008 01:09:34.560 --> 01:09:39.079 corner rice to make it lighter on the palette. And you know, that's 1009 01:09:39.079 --> 01:09:42.520 what a lot of loggers, that's how they're made, and that's how a 1010 01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:45.079 lot of laggers are made. And so I think, I mean, it's 1011 01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:48.439 a thing, like I said, there are those out there that are you 1012 01:09:48.439 --> 01:09:54.239 know, purists, I guess, but h Steve, Melissa Mendez.

That being Tantric Brewing Company that's right located right down there on 1033 01:11:17.439 --> 01:11:21.840 the riverfront. Great beer, great views, great people, great times, 1034 01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:27.119 and a lot of people have said I heard Alegan was closed, Like really, 1035 01:11:27.159 --> 01:11:29.800 where'd you pick up that news? Well, we heard about all the 1036 01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:32.279 construction. Yeah, well, let's see. When the infrastructure is eighty years 1037 01:11:32.279 --> 01:11:36.640 old, it's time to replace it. And they are nearly like complete with 1038 01:11:36.720 --> 01:11:41.960 the first phase of it. It is gorgeous down there. Wait, I 1039 01:11:42.039 --> 01:11:45.479 see construction trucks and everything else. How am gonna find the beer? Walk 1040 01:11:45.720 --> 01:11:47.680 through the construction site. It's safe, believe it or not, They've created 1041 01:11:47.720 --> 01:11:51.159 safe paths. Walk right up, go in there, get yourself a beer 1042 01:11:51.399 --> 01:11:55.600 and tell them what's on Tap Radio setting you in fact you're not sure how 1043 01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:58.640 to get there, reach out to us on our social media at What's on 1044 01:11:58.640 --> 01:12:00.640 Tap Radio, Send me a message say hey, I'm in Allig and Chad 1045 01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:03.600 I was like, boom, I will drive down there meet you and I 1046 01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:06.640 will walk you in the door and we'll have a beer together. And James 1047 01:12:06.640 --> 01:12:11.159 is buying Yes, put it on my tab. Yeah, definitely put on 1048 01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:15.760 my tab. All right. Decided for me to crack another beer before say 1049 01:12:15.760 --> 01:12:19.000 goodbye for the week. And the last beer I'm cracking for this week is 1050 01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:25.479 I'm going another brewery from Louisiana off Tropic Tula Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. 1051 01:12:25.520 --> 01:12:28.640 And this is a beard that we actually talked about on this show when 1052 01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:30.039 they released it, and I was very excited to get my hands on it. 1053 01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:34.000 And when I went out to this brewery, Urban South, I got 1054 01:12:34.039 --> 01:12:36.600 to talking with him and they set me up with some beard to talk about 1055 01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:42.640 on the show. And one of those beers is the Urban South Juvie Juice 1056 01:12:42.760 --> 01:12:49.920 with a collaboration with Juvenile and this is actually half and half half hard iced 1057 01:12:49.920 --> 01:12:56.079 tea and lemonade. I have a question. You have a beer that says 1058 01:12:56.159 --> 01:13:00.319 Juvenile on it. How is it that they got label approval? It doesn't 1059 01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:03.880 say it says juve right, but it's a collaboration with juvenile, and you 1060 01:13:03.920 --> 01:13:09.119 can't collaborate with juveniles in order to make beer. That right there is a 1061 01:13:09.199 --> 01:13:13.680 violation of label law right there. I'm surprised at TTB and the at F 1062 01:13:14.319 --> 01:13:17.399 and the FBI and the CIA and the irs haven't got all over that. 1063 01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:20.079 Well now they have, Chad, thanks a lot. Oh oh wait, 1064 01:13:20.119 --> 01:13:24.119 sorry, they were listening. Wait to go, Chad, wait to spoil 1065 01:13:24.159 --> 01:13:27.079 it. Now they're like, gosh, dang it. You had to say 1066 01:13:27.079 --> 01:13:29.640 something, didn't you, Chad. He had to say something, Okay. 1067 01:13:29.720 --> 01:13:33.119 Juvenile is a rapper. Juvenile is a rapper. Nineties. He had a 1068 01:13:33.159 --> 01:13:39.760 song called back that thing up Cash Money Records. Yep, my high schools 1069 01:13:39.800 --> 01:13:43.800 soundtracks. This is what else jamming on my CD deck when I was going 1070 01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:46.840 to school, juvenile. But now he has collabed with Urban South and he 1071 01:13:46.960 --> 01:13:53.000 was actually in town at the Urban South HTx for the release of this beer 1072 01:13:53.319 --> 01:13:57.760 here in town. But again, this is the juv jews half and half 1073 01:13:57.800 --> 01:14:00.920 half part I see and half lemonade and this comes to you at five percent 1074 01:14:00.960 --> 01:14:06.399 alcohol by volume, and it's green tea, green tea and lemonade. How 1075 01:14:06.399 --> 01:14:09.720 do you, I mean, be honest, be honest. Are you liking 1076 01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:13.760 it. Here's the deal. I should have drink this beer first before I 1077 01:14:13.800 --> 01:14:18.800 had the Datsuma. I pas with that some of the Fog Brewing Company. 1078 01:14:19.239 --> 01:14:23.119 But I had it at the brewery and it was like one hundred and ten 1079 01:14:23.159 --> 01:14:27.319 degrees in the shade and it was very nice. So I think that it 1080 01:14:27.399 --> 01:14:30.119 was just the order of beers I had it in. I'm not enjoying it 1081 01:14:30.159 --> 01:14:33.159 as much as I should, but I am liking it. Again. We 1082 01:14:33.239 --> 01:14:36.159 take pictures of the beers that we were drinking. Go to our social media 1083 01:14:36.159 --> 01:14:40.199 at What's on Tap Radio, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Give us 1084 01:14:40.199 --> 01:14:42.520 a follow, give us a like, reach out to us at What's on 1085 01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:45.920 Tap Radio Gmail dot com. Gives some suggestions. But so I heard, 1086 01:14:46.439 --> 01:14:49.239 I know we got this story coming out of Michigan, but I want to 1087 01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:54.159 just drop this on you really quick. Since we were talking about the alcohol 1088 01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:59.359 alcohol boards and the governing bodies and everything. This from the Michigan Liquor Control 1089 01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:04.560 Commission and this justin ladies and gentlemen. We reported recently that the Big Ten 1090 01:15:04.680 --> 01:15:10.199 or the State of Michigan, I should say, has approved alcohol sales at 1091 01:15:11.119 --> 01:15:15.119 the football stadiums for the University of Michigan and Michigan States. That's good. 1092 01:15:15.119 --> 01:15:17.479 People are gonna be drug driving now, right, Yeah, well, it 1093 01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:20.159 was approved. Always say that. They always say that when a story comes 1094 01:15:20.159 --> 01:15:24.199 out like this. I know, I know, it's like, now we're 1095 01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:30.319 gonna rule people definitely weren't drinking before then. So there were only three remaining 1096 01:15:30.359 --> 01:15:35.479 schools in the Big Ten that which is now like twenty teams now or whatever 1097 01:15:35.560 --> 01:15:40.960 if you follow college football, but Michigan, Michigan State, and Nebraska the 1098 01:15:41.039 --> 01:15:46.159 last three teams to uh not sell alcohol and stadium until now, Ladies and 1099 01:15:46.239 --> 01:15:53.560 gentlemen go green. Spartan Stadium will have beer this season, starting with the 1100 01:15:53.640 --> 01:15:56.800 second home game. Excuse me, I guess that'd be the third home game 1101 01:15:56.840 --> 01:16:01.520 on September sixteenth, which is against Washington, and the fourth home game September 1102 01:16:01.560 --> 01:16:06.800 twenty three against Maryland, and again on October twenty one against that other school 1103 01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:13.479 from Michigan. Yeah, when they play the Wolverines, beer will be sold. 1104 01:16:13.479 --> 01:16:18.840 And ironically November fourth, the last home game against Nebraska, the last 1105 01:16:19.399 --> 01:16:23.439 one of the last two schools to not allow alcohol to be sold. So 1106 01:16:23.479 --> 01:16:29.119 that's good news followed that's at Beer Logic Chad Pillbeam where he'll be posting pictures 1107 01:16:29.119 --> 01:16:31.479 of him shotgunning beers at the Michigan Oh not shotgunning, no, no, 1108 01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:38.479 but I will be tailgating. I'll be drinking Tantrick brew and yeah, we're 1109 01:16:38.520 --> 01:16:41.520 gonna have some good time, all right before we get out of here, 1110 01:16:41.560 --> 01:16:45.159 speaking of Michigan. Not all heroes work capes. I love a good Not 1111 01:16:45.199 --> 01:16:48.199 all heroes work cape story. And this is the moment a hero stopped a 1112 01:16:48.239 --> 01:16:55.920 man robbing in Michigan Mini mart by shooting the suspect all while carrying a six 1113 01:16:56.000 --> 01:17:00.439 pack of Miller Lite. That's good journalism right there. Good journalist him right 1114 01:17:00.439 --> 01:17:02.680 there, that's right he was. He had a steady hand, he had 1115 01:17:02.720 --> 01:17:08.399 he had good grouping on his shots, and didn't drop the beer. And 1116 01:17:08.399 --> 01:17:12.680 the journalist, the journalist even identified what kind of beer he was holding. 1117 01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:15.800 And that's how you do it. So the incident occurred on July twenty seven, 1118 01:17:16.000 --> 01:17:18.439 when the suspect, it's almost like, hold my beer and watched this 1119 01:17:18.920 --> 01:17:23.199 Cordelias and Anthony Martin, he was thirty five, armed himself with a box 1120 01:17:23.239 --> 01:17:27.560 cutter and tried to rob at them. In he marks the unarmed customer who 1121 01:17:27.600 --> 01:17:33.079 had a valid concealed Carrie Permits prompably took out his handgun and fired seven shots 1122 01:17:33.119 --> 01:17:36.880 at the suspect. Martin entered the store. This is the guy who's robbing 1123 01:17:36.880 --> 01:17:41.479 in the store. He entered the store now seeing you know why I'm here 1124 01:17:41.680 --> 01:17:45.039 before, pulling a mask over his face, and he threatened the store clerk 1125 01:17:45.159 --> 01:17:48.520 with the box cutter, the cops said, and the customers told law enforcement 1126 01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:54.079 that he could not see what the robber was holding, but he feared it 1127 01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:57.600 might have been a gun because he was holding it to the clerk's face. 1128 01:17:58.439 --> 01:18:00.399 And the man fired the shots, one hitting a liquor bottle, while the 1129 01:18:00.439 --> 01:18:05.079 others catching the robber and the arm back and face. And while the shooting 1130 01:18:05.079 --> 01:18:11.239 occurred, the customer never put down the six pack of Miller lights. I 1131 01:18:11.319 --> 01:18:14.720 love it. There's a survellance video. He's just shooting and he's just got 1132 01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:17.039 his you know, his his Miller light and his and his six pack of 1133 01:18:17.039 --> 01:18:20.880 Middle light in his hand. I'll watch shooting this. Uh, this alleged 1134 01:18:21.439 --> 01:18:26.239 robber alleged. I love the alleged. They always got through the alleged because 1135 01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:29.479 you know, because it's not finally any until court. But I want to 1136 01:18:29.520 --> 01:18:33.119 see if Miller white steps up on. That's what I'm saying. That's right 1137 01:18:33.319 --> 01:18:40.680 new from the Miller Light merchandise website. Get your new Miller LIGHTE holster for 1138 01:18:40.800 --> 01:18:45.039 your side arm. That's right available for Smith and Wesson glock whatever. I 1139 01:18:45.079 --> 01:18:50.319 don't know, I'm just Remington. I'm just making Barretta. I'm just I 1140 01:18:50.520 --> 01:18:54.279 don't I'm not a big gun guy. But I could just see it now, 1141 01:18:54.319 --> 01:18:56.359 and then of course James and I will go and I'll be like, 1142 01:18:56.399 --> 01:18:58.520 oh, yeah, I got a Barretta. All right, cool, let's 1143 01:18:58.520 --> 01:19:02.960 go there. I'm gonna go have a Miller Light. Oh sold out because 1144 01:19:02.960 --> 01:19:08.000 it never never existed. So the customer told the police that the suspect fell 1145 01:19:08.000 --> 01:19:11.800 on the floor was crawling towards him. He therefore ran to his car to 1146 01:19:11.800 --> 01:19:15.399 grab another magazine and then held the suspect at gunpoint until the officers arrived, 1147 01:19:15.399 --> 01:19:23.279 and the suspect was arrested, and it's arraigned on multiple charges, including robbery. 1148 01:19:23.319 --> 01:19:26.079 But there is an investigation, and this is the part I don't like 1149 01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:32.039 whether or not this hero is going to be charged with anything, because they're 1150 01:19:32.039 --> 01:19:36.279 gonna be looking at the fact was he had a threat. But we feel 1151 01:19:36.319 --> 01:19:40.399 that he shouldn't. Even the clerk has said, you know what, this 1152 01:19:40.479 --> 01:19:45.199 guy saved my life. So not all heroes were capes. A moment hero 1153 01:19:45.319 --> 01:19:49.760 Michigan gas station customer calmly shoots a robber armed with the box cutter, all 1154 01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:54.960 while holding a six pack of miler lights. When you hold a box cutter 1155 01:19:55.039 --> 01:20:00.199 to a clerk face and threatened to rob them, I'm I'm pretty cool with 1156 01:20:00.479 --> 01:20:03.720 them losing all rights. All right. Anyway, that's this episode of What's 1157 01:20:03.720 --> 01:20:08.760 on Tap Radio. Thanks for tuning in.
