Speaker 1: Welcome to the best sports betting show on the planet.
This is Wager Talk Today. I am your host, Andy Lang.
We are breaking down college football sleepers. Pay attention, people,
teams of public do not see coming, but the sharps
have already circled these teams. Jesse's gonna break that down
for us. We're gonna pair that with some MLB insights
and some more college football with Ross. Benjamin, you are
gonna walk away with angles. Most betters are not going
to touch until it's too late. This is where you
get the head start. So this is gonna be a
jam packed episode. Jesse's gonna talk Texas and m Illinois
and Georgia Tech. Ross is gonna talk Rangers versus Royals
in Stanford versus Hawaii. And at the end, I'm gonna
bring Dan on to talk about a very controversial beer
situation that I had over the weekend. I cannot wait
to get his to get his thoughts. So Johnny's not
with us today. No Steam report. I looked at the
Steam a little bit, but nothing. Two of note, there's
only one WNBA game. NFL preseason is pretty standard on
those lines. So we're just gonna jump right in with
Jesse and we're gonna talk three college football sleeper So
let's get this party started. You guys know to do
hit that like button. Please hit that like button. Jesse's
getting ready to give you three plus money college football
teams that doesn't over like. I don't know what does Jesse.
Happy Wednesday? How are you today, sir?
Speaker 2: Doing well? Doing well? Really looking forward to football season,
coming in hot with a ten and zero football run
heading into Friday. We got more CFL action. I'm a
guy that dabbles in CFL, so I don't have to
wait too long for football to start.
Speaker 3: Starts in June for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Iconic photo poster in the background, Jesse, that is
that is an amazing But you know I pride myself
on my background pictures. But that is that is next
level here. All right, you got three teams here, Texas
A and m Illinois and Georgia Tech. Let's break these
team down, these teams down, tell us why you like him,
what you expect, and how we can bet on these teams.
The floorisiers.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, when we're looking at sleeper teams,
in order to qualify as a sleeper team, it can't
be one of the teams that the national media is
hyping up all summer. Everybody's picking them as their sleeper team.
If everybody's picking them as their sleeper team, are they
really a sleeper? So these three teams fit a specific criteria.
They're all plus money more than two to one to
make the playoffs. They all have solid quarterbacks, solid coaching staffs,
and plenty of returning production. I spoke on last week's
show about what I think the recipe for success in
college football is. It's a little bit old school and
a little bit controversial because a lot of people like
to load up in the transfer portal, sign a bunch
of new guys and hope it all fits together. I
personally still believe that developing talent and building a team
slowly and in that year three you really look to
make a run. These teams fit that mold, and we'll
start with Texas A and M. Mike Elco obviously a
great coach. You saw what he did at Duke, particularly
what he did in year two at Duke. This will
be year two at Texas A and M. Year one
went pretty well. They lost a Notre Dame in week one,
rattled off seven straight wins, they were in a position
to win the SEC at one point. They're bringing back
their quarterback, Marcel Reid. This guy's not going to win
a Heisman, he's not probably going to be an NFL quarterback,
But as far as a college football quarterback, he does
what they need him to do. He's able to run
the ball, he's a he's able to move the ball.
He's elusive, he's a gamer. Good enough to get you
to the playoffs in my opinion. And then you look
at returning production. They rank sixth in the country returning
seventy one percent of the production from last season. That's
really key. So it's the devil you know versus the
devil you don't know. And when you're bringing back all
your players from a season where you were pretty successful,
that's something that I want to bet on, and I
prefer betting on that rather than high profile transfers in
the portal. And we'll move on to Illinois. They're plus
five hundred to make the playoffs. By the way, Illinois
and Texas A and M was plus two twenty five
twelve team playoff. Illinois ranked number twelve in the country.
And you're getting that kind of price Now, the Big
Ten is pretty competitive, but this is a team that
won ten games last year. Brett Beelam has been there
since twenty twenty one. They rank third nationally in returning production,
so everybody's coming back. And at the quarterback position, Luke Altmeyer,
this guy's been around forever. He was great last year
with plenty of game winning drives, come from behind victories.
He's got that clutch gene, that's for sure. You don't
hear people talk about Altmeyer that much compared to some
of the other big name quarterbacks, but Altmeyer is a
guy that's certainly capable of leading a team to the playoffs.
You look at their schedule. They've got some tough road
games at Indiana and at Washington. I think both of
those will be tough, but both of them will be winnable.
They got a home game against Ohio State, and getting
them at home gives them a shot. Really, they probably
only have to win one of those three games. They'll
be a significant favorite in the rest of their games,
and a ten win Big Ten team should make the
playoffs this year. So I like Illinois at five to
one odds. And then you got unranked Georgia Tech seven
to one odds. They're in the ACC so they might
hold that against them. But Brent Key, this is year
three for Brent Key. This team ranks twenty sixth in
returning production, but it's the guys that they're bringing back.
Haynes King is back at quarterback, Jamal Haynes at running back.
Speaker 3: Now, they lost a.
Speaker 2: Few of their receivers, but you know, receiver is a position.
I think you go to the portal, you replace those receivers.
That's not asking too much for a team like this,
and they're a team that likes to really pound the
rock and run the ball. Well coached.
Speaker 3: I love Brent Key.
Speaker 2: Keep in mind this is a team that went five
overtimes or an obscene amount of overtimes last year against Georgia.
They can beat anybody when they're on their game, and
getting all those players back from last year's team, I
think they're going to be a tough out once again.
Their schedule, they got a home game against Clemson, so
the fact that it's at home gives them a chance.
And then they've got that neutral site game against Georgia.
You know, if they can win one of those games,
they're in for sure. And they might not need to
win either of those games to get into the playoffs,
depending on how it plays out for everybody else. But yeah,
those are my three sleeper teams. Andy, what do you think.
Speaker 1: I think there's a theme with all of those, and
it's continuity. And I've heard you and many others, you know,
talk about these teams that could have a really good
chance and some that might falter. But these three sleeper teams,
you know how much of it is a sleeper when
they are just real earning everything, And it just feels
like continuity is king in the era of Nils or those.
Is that like basically the number one thing that you're
looking at. I'm sure there's a lot of factors when
you look at teams, feels like continuity is the big one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, continuity and coaching. You know, certain coaches I have
faith that they they're competitive guys. You know, there's there's
a few teams that are more talented, have better rosters,
but their coaches have a bit of a dicey reputation
when it comes to winning big games. I like to
stay away from teams like that. Those are my teams
that I think are overrated. But yeah, the there's a.
There's a difference in philosophy. There's certainly different people that
believe different things. But I like the old school approach, continuity, returning, production,
solid coaching. You know, defense and a running game will
take you a long way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, was there what was the team? Was it Marshall
that like more players from Marshall are going to another
program than are actually returning to I.
Speaker 2: Mean, it's wild. It's Southern Miss, And we spoke about
it last week. Yeah, and they're taking they're basically taking
Marshall's head coach, and Marshall was the conference champion, So
they're taking Marshall's head coach and all their players, and
they're looking to do what Dion Sanders did and what
Kurt Signetti did. But I mentioned last week, nobody talks
about what happened to Scott Frost and Nebraska or some
of these other guys that you know, brought in a
bunch of transfers and fell flat on their face. I
think it's it's not going to be successful every time.
And I don't think that highly of Southern Miss. I
think they're they're overrated based on bringing in all those
guys from Marshall.
Speaker 1: And lastly, of course you mentioned the conferences. What's the
toughest conference here that these teams mentioned Texas A and M,
Illinois Georgia Tech, Like, which conference do you think is
the toughest one to get out of which one gives
the biggest advantage of those teams?
Speaker 3: Well, interesting question.
Speaker 2: I like that question.
Speaker 3: Andy.
Speaker 2: Obviously the s everybody knows the SEC is the best
conference in college football. That said, a nine win SEC
team can probably make the playoffs. A nine win ACC
team is not going to make the playoffs, So I
think that's kind of factored in. But when you look
at Texas A and m schedule, they got road games
at Notre Dame, LSU and Texas. If they win one
of those games and they win as a favorite when
they're favored, they'll have ten wins. But if they lose
all three of those games and they get nine wins,
they still might be a factor in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Love it, Love it, Jesse. You're one of the football
gods here at wager Talk, because it's not just NFL,
it's college football, it's CFL. What do you have up?
We got futures, we've got individual games. College football's here.
What do you have up for everyone at wager talk.
Speaker 2: Well, certainly the best deal is my all access college
and Pro football package seven hundred and seventy seven bucks,
and we're given away the rest of the Major League
Baseball season and the rest of the CFL season. I'm
hitting seventy seven percent with my CFL picks this year.
I know that sounds rather incredible, and I I think
it is, but it is a fact of the matter.
I'm on a perfect ten and oh football run. I
swept NFL preseason so far, going five and oh with
my NFL preseason, so firing on all in Major League
Baseball number one for the last three hundred and sixty
five days. I could go on, Andy, but I would
bore the bore you to tears, and I won't do
that to you. But certainly worth looking at that all
access football package.
Speaker 1: Well, winning is never boring, Jesse. You can bore me
all you want with a bunch of wins. I would
appreciate it. So, yeah, Jesse, take advantage of Jesse's year
longer this season long football, because you're gonna get a
lot of winners, a lot of value in that one Jesse,
great breakdown as always, and listen next week we're gonna
start talking to individual games, spreads, totals, can't wait. Thank
you so much, continued success, thank you so much for
joining us. There's three sleepers in college football from Jesse,
Texas A, and m Illinois in Georgia Tech. Obviously the
chat is the chat agrees disagrees with Jesse, but you
can't argue with some of those numbers for some really
good prices there to make the playoffs. So speaking of deals, here,
we have an incredible deal. You want to buy September.
You're gonna get the rest of August free, so it's
important get it now. Your cost drops to under forty
nine dollars a week. Normally a week long pass is
ninety nine dollars, so you're getting each day for less
than seven bucks a day for every single play. Pick
your handicapper. Don't wait. Lock in September and you're gonna
start getting free plays for the entire month of August.
So do not sit back and wait for kickoff. Locking
in now, grab the free weeks and ride with us
all the way through September. Any handicapper of your choice,
get Jesse, you can get Roster's coming up. You can
get myself. Any handicapper that's at wager Talk under forty
nine dollars a week less than seven bucks a day
when you buy September and you get the rest of
August for free. So we're gonna do all around the
world here in a bit. But we got to bring
in Ross Benjamin here real quick, because Ross, we got
to talk college football. You got Stanford, yi, and then
we are going to talk Rangers in the Royals in MLB.
Give the people some MLB action. But happy Wednesday. How
are you, sir? And let's talk a little bit of
Stanford and Hawaii. How do you break down Stanford and why?
Interesting game here to start us off?
Speaker 4: All right, good morning and Stanford Hawaii. You know this
jumped right off the board at me when I saw
the opening line. Actually, Stanford opened a couple months back
as a short favorite. And now we're looking at Hawaii
at either minus two or minus two and a half,
which should be alarming to people because you're looking at
Hawaii team that hasn't had a heck of a lot
of success under Timmy Chang. And Stanford, on the other hand,
comes from a power for conference, but they're not a
very good team. As a matter of fact, the consensus
show Stanford as a consensus pick to finish last in
the ACC and their seventeen teams in the ACC. By
the way, the Cardinals are coming off four consecutive seasons
in which they finished an identical three to nine. Over
those four seasons, they're just ten and thirty five against
FBS teams. They fired Troy Taylor, who was there for
two years, wasn't able to get the program headed in
the right direction, and they hire Frank Reich. Very interesting, Andy,
they hire him on an interim basis. I'm not sure
what that's all about. Maybe some of you Stanford alum
that are watching this might bring us up to speed
on that. I think it's highly unusual to bring in
a coach of Reich's quality and experience and make him
an interim coach. Anyway, that doesn't bode well for the
future in terms of, well, how long is this guy
going to be around?
Speaker 3: Anyway?
Speaker 4: Hawaii fourth year with Timmy Chang. He's coming off a
five and seven season with Hawaii last But you know,
three of those losses of the seven came by three
points or fewer against UCLA, San Diego State and a
real impressive effort against a UNLV team that was one
went away from being a serious contender to make the
college football Playoffs. They lost that game twenty nine to
twenty seven. They did lead UCLA at the half ten
to nothing at home and then ended up losing the
game sixteen to thirteen. Both loss they lost to Boise
and THEWC title game meaning UNLV, so you could see
the quality of opponent and how tough.
Speaker 3: They played them last year.
Speaker 4: And why I mentioned all that is because this is
an experienced Hawaii team. They didn't do much in the
transfer portal, if anything at all, but they didn't lose
players in the transfer portal either, so there's a lot
of continuity coming back for Hawaii to go along with
that experience. We're not bringing in juniors or seniors from
a transfer portal. They have to learn a whole new system,
and I think that's gonna pay dividends in an early
season matchup against a team like Stanford who lost twenty
players to the transfer portal, including two of their quarterbacks
in their best alignement on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 3: So I don't like laying two or two and a half.
Speaker 4: I think, you know, that Andy, we can get Hawaii
on the money line at minus one thirty.
Speaker 3: I think Hawaii gets off to a good start right here.
Speaker 4: And like I said, I think the experience and continuity
not only with the roster, but the coaching staff is
as well. Will pay dividends in an opening game against
a bottom feeder in the ACC to Stanford Cardner.
Speaker 1: I mean, I still am wrapping my head around Stanford
in ACC and some of some of these, some of
these Conference Atlantic Coast Conference. Of course you think Stanford, so.
Speaker 3: It's it's wild California too, you know.
Speaker 1: So I know, I know, you know, we talked with
Jesse about continuity. It sounds like you're paying attention to
that as well. You kind of fading the Stanford team
that doesn't have a whole lot of cunt. You're a
interim coach. Sounds sounds really I don't get that. And no,
I haven't heard of that. I haven't seen that. It's
just like like, well, we have a guy we like,
but he's not available, so could you come in and
just be the stop gap? Doesn't It's yeah, you know,
I see.
Speaker 3: It in all the preview articles and he's got the
interim tag on him.
Speaker 4: Now, whether they took that off him, uh, that's another story.
I don't know, But I just found that awfully strange
to make a new hire and uh just put an
interim tag on him. It's not like he took over
at the end of last year. So anyway, UH speaks
to the condition of the Stanford program.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I'm with you. I always say this
in individual sports and in team sports, it's it's hard
to be great every week every night, but bad is
bad and it's easy to be bad all the time.
So I love fading bad teams and fading bad bad
individual athletes and golf and MMA. So I'm with you
one hundred percent on that one. We did have a
question there in the chat about like everyone seems to
be on Hawaii. Do you do you pay attention to that,
like when in the narrative, I you know, I.
Speaker 3: Do, I don't. You know? It depends on the source
you're looking at.
Speaker 4: My source that I trust is seeing a little money
more on Hawaii than Stanford, but not enough for me
to say, hey, I don't want to back this public side.
There's a reason why they went from two and a
half a two point underdog to a two to two
and a half point favorite. I again, especially early in
the season, I don't put a lot of stock in that,
but it's something I do pay attention to when you
see a reverse line movement, and I guess some sources
can show this as a reverse line movement. I'm just
not buying it.
Speaker 1: I love it, Ross the Boss, Benjamin, great breakdown.
Speaker 3: You know what, Andy, I got something for you.
Speaker 4: Okay, five ninety nine for my entire college football season.
Speaker 3: It starts on Saturday.
Speaker 4: I was number one last year in college football, number
one in units earned over the last two seasons.
Speaker 3: So why should they buy that for me? Andy? I
think I gave you some good reasons.
Speaker 1: Ross, I don't know why should we get your year
long college football special.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad that you ask, Andy. It's always a
pleasure to answer that question from you.
Speaker 3: In any event.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I said, five ninety nine, if you break
it down to the amount of weeks in college football,
through the bowl.
Speaker 3: Season, through the National Championship.
Speaker 4: Game, and you'll see that it's a very affordable package.
Speaker 3: Considering the results.
Speaker 4: Last year, I finished on a sixty and thirty five
run in college football, which is sixty three percent. Like
I said, the last two years, when you combine the
units earned number one at wager Talk over the last
two college football seasons. I'm prepared and ready to go.
And Andy, if I could just a shameless plug here,
I did a college football betting preview show at the
Westgate Sportsbook last week with Teddy Covers. You can get
that at my personal link at Wayger Talk TV and
that's WT Dot Buzz Slash Ross TV.
Speaker 3: WT Dot Buzz Slash Ross TV.
Speaker 1: Very good, very good. That's awesome. I didn't know you
did a show with Teddy. That's all. That's got to
be a great show. I can't wait to check that
one out, So thank you for sharing that with us.
To MLB, let's talk Rangers in Royals. We got Cameron
going for the Royals. We have this new up and
coming pitcher for the Rangers undecided. I heard he's got
a great fastball, good change up. Undecided coming up, And
I'm just kidding. It's as undecided because we don't know
who's pitching. His name is not undecided. What do you
do here when we have an undecided pitcher here? It
looks like the books don't know what to do with
it either Texas minus won twenty over under of eight,
just vanilla numbers all across the board.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I see undecided. I think of my wife, you know.
So that's how we start at any event, all kidding decide, Yeah,
I would look at this line and I'll get to
that later.
Speaker 3: Texas has lost ten to twelve.
Speaker 4: They're eleven and twenty two on the road this year
versus teams with a winning record like the Royals, they've
also gone ten and two and twelve excuse me on
the road this year. One facing a left handed starting
pitcher like Nick Cameron.
Speaker 3: The Texas bullpen.
Speaker 4: When we say undecided, it sounds to me like they're
gonna piece this together with their bullpen. And their bullpen
has not been very good. Ten thirty five ERA and
a one to ninety whip over their last six games.
As a matter of fact, that's atrocious. Not very good
is given it a compliment. Texas is averaging just two
point six to five extra base hits per game this year,
which is a very low number. And I bring that
up because of Kansas City Royals twenty four and five
at home this year when facing teams that average two
point seventy five or less extra base hits per game.
Speaker 3: The Royals have won.
Speaker 4: All five meetings against Texas this year, including the first
two in this series, and they've outscored the Rangers in
those five games by three runs per game. This is
also a Royals team that's thirty six and nineteen against
losing teams this year or teams with a losing record,
and that includes twenty four and nine at home. Here's
an interesting note on Kansas City. They were a mnemic
when it came to power to start the year, seventy
six home runs in their first ninety nine games, which
is somewhere around zero point seven six home runs per game.
But over their last twenty seven the Royals have belted
forty three home runs and that includes in their last
six they've hit twelve and also over those last six
a three point fifty two team on base percentage. So
when you combine that good of on base percentage with
twelve home runs over six games, you can see why
the Royals are having a lot of success at late.
Speaking of Nick Cameron, seventeen starts this year or two
forty seven era a one zh six whip just shy
of averaging six innings pitch per start. As a matter
of fact, Cameron, who started out very slow at home
this year, has really turned it on at Kaufman Stadium
of Lake. Over its last four starts at home, the
Royals have gone four to zero in those games, and
his one point one four ERA and one o six
whip during those four games was a major reason for
Kansas City going unscathed.
Speaker 3: The Royals bullpen, they've.
Speaker 4: Been pitching extremely well, the polar opposite of Texas bopen.
The Royals relievers have a one fifty four ERA and
ninety nine whip combined three for three and save opportunities,
and that's all over their last six games. Now, I'm
looking at Kansas City plus one o nine at bet online.
That's what I got as the best line. That's why
you should always shop. But if you don't have that luxury,
I would take Kansas City on the money line at
anywhere between plus one twenty five and minus one twenty five.
Speaker 3: So I'm giving you a wide parameter here.
Speaker 4: Because it looks like you don't know what's going to
happen in terms of who Texas decides to send it
a mountain tonight, whether they bring up a minor league
or Andy, or they decide to patch it together with
their bullpen. So there you have a Kansas city on
the money line between odds of plus one twenty five
and minus one twenty five.
Speaker 1: All okay, yeah, I've I don't know if undecided is
going to get any cy young votes, but we'll see.
What is era? You told us about your year special
college football? What do you have up today for clients?
Speaker 4: I don't have anything up yet. I will have something
up within the hour. I will tell you Major League baseball.
I know college football is right on horizon on Saturday.
Major League baseball, Andy has been. I'm enjoying a great
season in Major League Baseball, number one in Major League Baseball.
You can get the rest of my Major League baseball
season through the World Series for just two ninety nine
and Major League Baseball also on excellent winning run right now.
Speaker 3: Of eighty three and fifty two.
Speaker 4: I believe somewhere around sixty two percent in over eighty
five units of net profits. So and that since the
second week in May, and like I said, over eighty
units of net profit for the season.
Speaker 3: So that's good for number one.
Speaker 4: So a lot of good things happening, and also we
got some great specials going on. Andy already touched upon it.
You could utilize that with me. Don't forget my free
pick videos each and every day at wager Talk TV.
I should say Monday through Saturday, and my direct link
if you just want to want to watch my videos.
Hopefully you want to watch everybody's, but my direct link
is WT dot buzz slash Ross TV and it's wt
dot buzz slash RB is my directlink at wager talk
dot com.
Speaker 1: Ross the Boss Benjamin always bringing great insight. Thank you
very much. Ross. Always a pleasure talking to you and
can't wait to see you again next week. Brother.
Speaker 3: Thank you Andy.
Speaker 1: You know Ross and Jesse talked about winning and doing
well we're gonna do around the world, and then we're
going to talk about the controversial beer situation that I
was forced to be in. I didn't want to be
in it, but I was forced to be in. And
I'm gonna bring on Dan for this.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 1: I'll talk a little bit about losing. Last six months
for myself and for clients have not been great. It's
been one of the worst stretches since I've been at
wager Talk and you know, I was talking to somebody
last night who wants to get into the industry, and
I was talking to him about, y hey man, it
could be a very humbling business. You can win for
two years straight and then you have a few months
where it goes bad and it's it's tough to keep
positive and it's tough to really believe in the work
that you do. And just I came into this week
just feeling a little bit different, and Monday I just
had a really really good burst of positive energy and
it just feels like the rest of the year is
going to be great. And what happens. We hit our
five dollars Tuesday play last night, we hit our four
percent cricket play in I don't want to say miracle fashion,
but we were it was we were up against it.
And sometimes just you get these little itty bitty signs
from the universe, from the gambling gods. And I'm just
renewed with a lot of positivity and a lot of
good energy, and I know good things are gonna happen.
Like I said, we hit our five dollars Tuesday play
and we have one play that's up for the Tour Championship.
That's the only thing I have up for sale right now,
and I would encourage everyone to get it. This is
on DraftKings. I don't tell you guys to go get
certain plays very often. I'm just telling you go get
this play for the Tour Championship. If you have DraftKings,
it's only fifteen bucks. I put it up at two
percent so I can price it at fifteen dollars. Go
grab that. Looking forward to the rest of twenty twenty
five for all of us, it's gonna be a great,
great rest of the year. All right, let's do all
around the world here. Let's give the people some free
plays here, Dan, let's start with MLB and we're gonna
go to the White Socks at the Braves and we're
gonna take the under nine. This is a getaway day
in Atlanta. Perez is pitching after a long aisle Stint
and Waldrop pitching for Atlanta has been really good recently.
The first two games of the series, very very high scoring,
so we're expecting some regression here. This play comes off
the wager Talk Free picks page. If you want a
lot of free picks, go to the wager Talk Free
picks page. Every Handy Caapper can put one up. I
am gonna give you a free play on the Tour
Championship JJ spawn over Justin Thomas. Justin Thomas falling off
a cliff this year. The last three tournaments, JJ spaond
has finished ahead of Thomas easily. Last three months, Spawn
is six best and total strokes gain in this field
Thomas twenty fifth. There's only thirty people playing, Thomas is
twenty fifth, and total strokes gain this just missed the card.
Justin Thomas has incredible course history here. But I love
recent form over course history. I like JJ spawn over
Justin Thomas. And then we're gonna take a look at
the Cardinals at the Marlins over eight and a half
Marlins over six straight home games covered by two point
three runs per game. Cardinals four straight over with fifty
four runs scored. Uh Plante nine point two six Era
al Katara six point zero e r A in his
last few games. So all right, Dan, let's bring you on,
and I gotta tell you about my controversial beer situation.
Here's what happens.
Speaker 5: Controversial beer, you say.
Speaker 1: Yes, controversial beer. All right, do you guys, have you
live out in California? Do you have the brown bag
special out where out where you.
Speaker 5: Round bag specially once that's like a beer and a shot.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's it's a mystery beer. So you can
have these little little brown bags, and a lot of
places where I live do it and it's fun. They
price it like three bucks or something, so they bring
you out a brown paper bag and it's got a
mystery beer in it, and you know it's it's fun
with friends. Okay, Okay, I love a little fun. Yeah,
you'll pull out a PBR or some like local wheat
beer or something, but it's always something. It's always something
a little generic and funny. Okay, this is I got
the brown bag special. I would like you to pull
up what beer was served to me? What have we
got here?
Speaker 5: A dill pickle sour.
Speaker 1: Dill pickle sour ale was served to me in a
in a brown paper bag.
Speaker 5: I mean that's that's a mystery That is a mystery bag.
Speaker 1: That's that's for damn sure. Okay. I was skeptical. I
opened it and I tasted it, and it was hands
down the worst beer I have ever tasted in my life.
It I like dill pickles, I like sour. This was
absolutely heinous.
Speaker 5: So I said, sours are such like a different like
like when you're drinking a sour ale, it's not just
going to be your typical like flavor that you're getting
there too. They have, you know, this uh unique kind
of like mouthfeel that that kind of stings a little bit.
So that's just taking that dill pickle flavor and and
and ramping it up to like the nth degree. So
even if you like pickles, pickles in the form of
a sour ale, that's where you're getting a little dice.
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's where I need everyone's opinion here. Here,
here's what I said to the bartender. I said, why
why would you serve this as a mystery beer? Like,
if anybody is getting the brown paper bag, that means
they like a lot of different beers. Why would you
put one that's so strong and so potent that there's
a chance that a beer lover would not like it.
Speaker 5: Because there's no other way they're gonna sell a mandy,
you know what I mean. Who's coming in there and saying, ah, yeah,
let me get a mix of six I think I'll do.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Did the pbr?
Speaker 5: Oh that local craft looks good? And let me add
in three dill pickle sour ales. You know what I mean,
Like this is a one and done thing. They have
to put it in the brown bag or else it's
not going to sell.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: So she said, well, it's your fault you ordered the
mystery beer and if this got into a full blown argument,
and I was like, I understand, I ordered the mystery beer,
but I would just assume that you would put beers
that most people like, not put a beer there. There's
a chance that seventy percent of people won't like it.
And I was like, now I'm pissed off. I'm not
coming back here. And she's like, it's your fault? Am
I wrong? Dan? Am I wrong in saying that this
should never be a mystery beer?
Speaker 3: I mean? And she right?
Speaker 5: I feel like this is yeah. I feel like this
is like like sell me. We're playing sell Me with
Kyle Anthony and you're trying to sell me on who's
right in this argument. Here's what I'll say, is Andy.
I don't know if her customer service sounds like it
was quite up to par, but what I will say
is the crux of her argument that you're the one
who picked the mystery bag. It's it's not the mystery
bag with an asterisk that says it'll be a beer
that most people like, it's the mystery bag.
Speaker 3: So Andy, you picked instead.
Speaker 5: Of going what was in front of door number one,
which is ordering a damn beer that you like, you
went with what's behind door two. And everybody knows from
watching Make a Deal back in the day, and you
never flip flop on which door you're going with. And
you you you like your mystery bags. I respect it,
save a little cash. But with a mystery bag, Andy,
you never know what could it could just be uh,
you know, you could pull anything out of that thing.
So the crux of our argument being you're the one
who ordered it. That's fair for basically telling you to
go pound stand. Now that's a different part of the story.
But I hate to say it, Andy, you're the one
who ordered the mystery bag. Sorry, the mystery bag was
a dill pickle sour ale. You ordered it.
Speaker 1: It's me, It's me against the world here. I get it,
I get it, I get it. I just have to
fight through the adversity.
Speaker 5: Somebody in the comments, back Andy up, Back Andy up,
But uh, I don't know Andy, you might not have
a leg to stand on in this one.
Speaker 1: I may not. I just know that I will not
be ordering the dill pickle sour ale anytime, dude. Some
people love it.
Speaker 5: It's the same like I got friends who you'll go
out with and then, oh, you want.
Speaker 3: To do a round of shots. Yes, sure, you know.
I thought, what are we?
Speaker 5: What are we getting some screwball little like peanut butter whiskey.
I'm down for that. No, let's get picklebacks like jamison shots.
Have you had people do that where where it's a
Jamison shot with a disgusting and I like pickles, Give
me extra pickles on my chicken sandwich.
Speaker 1: But as far as like having.
Speaker 5: A chaser bee pickle juice, some people love it, man.
But but for me, no dice, no dice. So I
don't get to pickleback. I surely don't get the dill
pickle sour ale.
Speaker 1: I had to do a TV show at a sour
beer festival. If you want to, if you want to
find the most pretentious group of people ever, go to
a sour beer festival.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: A lot of swirling around sniffing it. Yeah, and a
sour is a very like acquired style, like I like sours,
typically sours that are based in like a blueberry sour
or or some type of berry, so there's a little
bit of sweetness to counteract. But a sour is a
very like pungent acquired taste. So you're already taking a
very divisive beer style and throwing pickle into it. Uh yeah,
that's that's rough. Ethan's saying. Picklebacks are the best, and hey,
each their own. I've been forced to take them many
of times, Ethan, But if if I'm going up to
the bar, that would be.
Speaker 1: The last one that I that I order.
Speaker 5: But he says, I also like nickelback for what it's for.
Speaker 1: Pickleback nickelback. Yeah, they're they're all. They're all flavor of
the month.
Speaker 5: Uh see, they they love each their own each I
will say. I will say I've never cramped up after
eating a picklebacks. Very good, very good for cramping. If
you're if you're gonna run a marathon, picklebacks pregaming.
Speaker 1: It's just not not for me, man. Yeah, yeah, well
you can count me out of the dill pickle sour
ale business. I will I will not be investing, So
all right, Dan, thank you, Thank you for coming on
and telling me that it's completely my fault that I
ordered something and anytime Andy got what I deserved. Oh man,
all right, well, thank you so much for joining everyone.
