Speaker 1: Let me have a sip here, and oh, what glass
Speaker 1: you're drinking out of? There? Chad? What glass is that?
Speaker 4: I'm drinking out of the Samuel Adams Boston Lugger glass,
Speaker 4: which makes everything better. But I'm going to tell you
Speaker 4: right now, I think I think you could drink. You
Speaker 4: could drink this beer out of a crock and it
Speaker 4: would be delicious. I mean, but forget about a shoe,
Speaker 4: a boot. You could drink. You could drink it out
Speaker 4: of a snail shell. I mean, this is wow. This
Speaker 4: is what this is what Octoberfest is. This is this
Speaker 4: is logger like that you want that you're in love
Speaker 4: with it is. It is beautiful. What's the biller clarity?
Speaker 4: It's three Floyds. It is beautifully carbonated. The head retention
Speaker 4: is gorgeous. I mean, this is a sexy beer, but wow,
Speaker 4: the the the crisp mouthfeel on this after every sip
Speaker 4: that I've had so far, and man is it multi
Speaker 4: and it finishes dry. Just a beautiful example. I'm gonna

Speaker 1: just a nerd because I can't breathe whatsoever.
Speaker 4: There's there is only a hand or are only a
Speaker 4: handful of our audience members that are going to catch
Speaker 4: that reference of Poindexter and and being sick, and it's
Speaker 4: a Revenge of the Nerds reference.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 4: If you're not if you're not familiar with the movie,
Speaker 4: you're definitely not a child of the eighties, because.
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like I feel like our target demo
Speaker 1: is of age where they know that reference.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you remember the movie Poindexter played the violin
Speaker 4: and he had really bad eyesight like Bill, and he
Speaker 4: had really bad allergies like James. So this is the
Speaker 4: point Dexter Revenge of the Nerds episode where we can't
Speaker 4: read beer labels and we're and Clareton, Uh.
Speaker 1: I mean Sherman toilet paper and I didn't. I haven't
Speaker 1: taken anything. And I'll tell you why I haven't taken anything.
Speaker 1: I'm suffering through it because I worry so much that
Speaker 1: if I take something, I'll get medicine head and I
Speaker 1: don't even know what will happen. And I've done that before.
Speaker 1: We're you know. I was on the air and people
Speaker 1: were like, is James okay to drive home? Because I
Speaker 1: was just like.

Speaker 4: to being under the influence of a nasal de congest.
Speaker 4: This has watch this, but not.
Speaker 1: Not beer, not no, not any kind of alcohol, just
Speaker 1: just but that's why anyway, that's why I haven't take

Speaker 1: brought to table thanks to our good old friends over
Speaker 1: at the Backyard Grill, which is doing they do an

Speaker 1: and I can't see a beer that you would find
Speaker 1: on tap over at the Backyard Grill is the eleven
Speaker 1: Blow october Fest. Because it is an amazing beer. And
Speaker 1: I am going to tell you a little bit of
Speaker 1: what I taste as I let it open up a
Speaker 1: little bit, as I am drinking out of the Samuelato's
Speaker 1: Bostl Logger glass just like Chad.
Speaker 4: But let me go in and Bill, Oh yeah, we're
Speaker 4: all drinking the same vessel because we drink best. Oh
Speaker 4: here it goes.
Speaker 1: Football sub one hundred degree weather, multi laggers. All mean
Speaker 1: that falls almost here in my part of the country.
Speaker 1: And so is Octoberfest. Very smooth, multi, very crushable. Just
Speaker 1: one side of Marsin and you'll be wondering where the

Speaker 1: location in North Houston, and they moved it to Fortress
Speaker 1: Brewery Company, which is what part of the city Chad.
Speaker 4: Fortress is. Spring is north of Cyprus.
Speaker 1: So I remember going there and Chad got like, you
Speaker 1: gotta go get a teennis shot because he cut himself
Speaker 1: on a rusty nail. I'll never forget that. What you remember,
Speaker 1: you They had this like bull made out of scraps.
Speaker 1: Oh what did I did?
Speaker 4: Plice my hand.
Speaker 1: There was one part that had barbed wire on it,
Speaker 1: like the tail, and Chat went to touch the tail
Speaker 1: which was made out of barb wire, and he cut
Speaker 1: his finger open.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I forgot all about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they joined forces below and wolves the other

Speaker 4: Fifty're all North Houston Breweries north northwest Side and they

Speaker 4: They got their thing and we got our thing. But
Speaker 4: let's do a thing together. And everyone's like all right,
Speaker 4: And I mean it was just a conglomerate anyway. The
Speaker 4: beer that we have that you will not find at
Speaker 4: the backyard grill, the Manchester october Fest from three Floyds.
Speaker 4: You also won't find it anywhere because it's not the
Speaker 4: Manchester beer. By the way. Fun fact, drinking alcohol will
Speaker 4: lead to muscle weakness, and alcohol weakens the muscles of
Speaker 4: the eyes and can permanently damage the optic nerves and
Speaker 4: transmit that transmit visual images to the brain. Now we
Speaker 4: know how to diagnose harbor light. Bill, who tried to
Speaker 4: read this label?
Speaker 5: It is a tough light.
Speaker 4: It is a tough one. It is actually just the
Speaker 4: monster Fest.
Speaker 5: And that's what you get for putting me on the
Speaker 5: spot like that.
Speaker 4: You brought the damn beer.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I just look for funny labels and
Speaker 5: bring them into you and they end up being good beer.
Speaker 5: All right, well it is the Manchester Yes much monster fat.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, strike three, Bill quick, all right, I
Speaker 4: gotta do some I gotta rebuild our image.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 2: Let's learn now the official What's on Tap Radio Fun
Speaker 2: fact of the week.
Speaker 4: It brought to you by Who's ever checked clear?
Speaker 1: This week, I will promise that we will try to
Speaker 1: get this show pulled together by the end of the hour.
Speaker 4: We really will. By the way, in case you're wondering
Speaker 4: where the term blind drunk came from, it started in
Speaker 4: the mid seventeen hundreds, with the oldest evidence of a
Speaker 4: blind drunk coming from the year seventeen or the year
Speaker 4: that Bill was born. Okay, so geez, Bill, that all
Speaker 4: read the dang label. All right, your official ones on
Speaker 4: Tap Radio fun fact of the week. This one here
Speaker 4: is kind of a what grinds my gears fun fact,
Speaker 4: But it just goes to show you that I'm gonna
Speaker 4: say this, any one of us has an opportunity to
Speaker 4: be famous and for no apparent reason. Oh yeah, all right.
Speaker 4: With all the national beer holidays out there, have you
Speaker 4: ever wondered what's the meaning behind all of them? And
Speaker 4: are any of them ever? Just made up? I thought
Speaker 4: about this. There was on April seventh, this National Beer Day,
Speaker 4: whenever prohibition ended and we could start brewing beer again
Speaker 4: New Beer's Eve. There's an argument over which day that is.
Speaker 4: Is that April sixth because it's before New National Beer
Speaker 4: Day or is it just Christmas Eve whenever we get drunk?
Speaker 4: Who knows? But some people celebrate two a year. Uh,
Speaker 4: there's a national what is it? American? There's American Beer Day?
Speaker 4: Remember when American Beer Day. We interviewed that guy. He
Speaker 4: was sitting in a Buffalo Wild Wings and they had
Speaker 4: British Beer Day and he got up to go to
Speaker 4: the bathroom and he heard two people say why isn't
Speaker 4: there an American Beer Day? And he's like, yeah, so
Speaker 4: he made it.
Speaker 1: Wait, we did it there, guy? Did we?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: We did? I forgot about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, But just recently, September twenty eighth, twenty twenty four,
Speaker 4: was none other than National Drink Beer Day, which whenever
Speaker 4: you post it on social media, you know what response.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get.
Speaker 4: Eh, isn't that every day?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 4: I drink beer every day. Yeah, we should be drinking
Speaker 4: that every day celebrating that every day, every day's National
Speaker 4: Drink Beer Day. Yes it is, and you should. But
Speaker 4: it begs the question, what is the origin of National
Speaker 4: Drink Beer Day. Well, turns out that researchers have dug
Speaker 4: deep into the entomology of the in the history of
Speaker 4: this study of bugs. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, say
Speaker 4: that's right, we're gonna pull this show together. Yeah. Anyway,
Speaker 4: my daughter's got a degree from Michigan State.
Speaker 5: Entomologis why I know that.
Speaker 4: The origin of the word in the origin of the
Speaker 4: celebration is what I was going for there, Bill, my computer,
Speaker 4: my one screen or my one sheet went down on
Speaker 4: my screens down, So I'm going off memory here. So
Speaker 4: here it is, folks. Turns out that September twenty eighth
Speaker 4: is Arthur Guinness's birthday, the founder of Guinness Brewery. And
Speaker 4: so if you said that National Drink Beer Day is
Speaker 4: in celebration of Arthur Guinness's birthday, well you would be
Speaker 4: incorrect because your official onsons Hab Radio fun fact of
Speaker 4: the week is no one knows why we celebrate National
Speaker 4: Drink Beer Day, and it is just a coincidence that
Speaker 4: it falls on Arthur Guinness's birthday. And that is your
Speaker 4: official What's on TAB Radio fun Fact of the week.
Speaker 1: I just every day is National Beer Day for me, Chad,
Speaker 1: just like you.
Speaker 4: Said, drink beer Day. Drink beer, drink beer Day.
Speaker 1: Exactly right. All right, great fun fact. Today we're gonna
Speaker 1: find out. We're gonna dive into We're gonna figure out
Speaker 1: how old is beer? And also what happens when we're
Speaker 1: refusing to pay for a beer turns violence? And why
Speaker 1: do not alcoholic drinks cost so much? Also so much more?
Speaker 1: Hang with us, We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: A real partner will make you feel loved, needed and sexy. Wait,
Speaker 3: it's beer beer already does that? What's on TAB Radio
Speaker 3: Continuous with James Simpson and Chadpillbeam.
Speaker 1: So the last segment, I told you how old I was.
Speaker 1: This segment, we're gonna figure out how old beer is
Speaker 1: this beer old enough to even drink? How old is beer?
Speaker 1: Obviously it's old drink. It's been around for a long time.
Speaker 4: I know what the beer we just finished the old
Speaker 4: Harbor Light Bell and I that beer is now it's
Speaker 4: not aging anymore. It is in our belly. It is gone.
Speaker 4: Brought to the table or segment we brought some Mars
Speaker 4: in style lagger. Let's see a Bill gets it right
Speaker 4: this time.
Speaker 5: From three Floyds the month sur fest.
Speaker 4: Man, we are hooked on phonics worked for me, all
Speaker 4: right here we are all right, Well that beer is gone,
Speaker 4: and we do have another beer that we'd like to
Speaker 4: crack open here really quick. Let's see a Bill can
Speaker 4: redeem himself. And what is what is this one that
Speaker 4: we're opening from?
Speaker 5: Jolly Pumpkin Bam Beer Farmhouse.
Speaker 4: Al all right, so that's what we're gonna. We're gonna
Speaker 4: we'll talk to you a little bit more about that.
Speaker 4: So Bill said his daughter he was calling me out
Speaker 4: because my one sheet went down on my screen. It
Speaker 4: went blank, and I had to go off memory. And
Speaker 4: I mentioned something about the origin of something, and you said,
Speaker 4: your daughter has a degree in entomology. Say it again, entomology. Entomology. Yes,
Speaker 4: Entomology is the study of insects. Etomology is the origin
Speaker 4: of words. Now if I misspoke, so the problem is
Speaker 4: you not me? Well, I don't know. I gotta go
Speaker 4: back and roll the tape. But if I said entomology,
Speaker 4: then I misspoke. But etomology is the origin of things,
Speaker 4: and that's what we were talking about speaking of the origin
Speaker 4: of things. I do want to get into the age
Speaker 4: of beer, but before I do, I got to ask James,
Speaker 4: I'll set beer treating you, dude.
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite Marzins, and I can't
Speaker 1: believe I'm almost finished with it because usually I'll take
Speaker 1: me back. It usually takes me because you know, I
Speaker 1: don't have a stunt beer liver in studio like Chad does,
Speaker 1: because I feel like they still think I'm drinking an
Speaker 1: a beers from Dry January, which is coming up in
Speaker 1: a few months for.
Speaker 4: Me, but Na drinks too.
Speaker 1: I'm almost done. I'm almost done with this, and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think to myself as like, do I crack
Speaker 1: another one of these or do I go with a
Speaker 1: different beer? Because you remember last time was I drinking
Speaker 1: the Samu Lambs Boston October Fest. I cracked two of
Speaker 1: them on the same show. I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: screw it, I'm just gonna drink two of them, and
Speaker 1: so I'm debating on whether or not to do that.
Speaker 1: But hey, real quick, before we get into how old beer.
Speaker 1: Speaking of old beer, you know, we talked about Weathered
Speaker 1: Souls closing in San Antonio.
Speaker 4: Oh, the weather Soul's Brewery, that is the founding brewery
Speaker 4: of the Blackest Beautiful Project.
Speaker 1: That's that's exactly right. I found about three Blackest Beautiful
Speaker 1: beers in the crisper drawer Howard got there. I have
Speaker 1: no idea, but I feel like those beers can age,
Speaker 1: and so as soon as the temperatures go down a
Speaker 1: little bit, I can bring those beers to show. And
Speaker 1: I was thinking, I was like, why what, why did
Speaker 1: they end a been here? Because these are great beers
Speaker 1: underneath the old you know, beers from the twelfth anniversary
Speaker 1: of Southern Star Brewing Company Buffalo by you brewing company beers,
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're old beer in there.
Speaker 4: So my this week's hold my beer and watch this
Speaker 4: brought to you by Ringing All the ten Hacen Insurance
Speaker 4: Group comes to you from Katie, Texas. We're forty four
Speaker 4: year old James Simpson was arrested on Sunday afternoon after
Speaker 4: reports that these beers that were delicious and treasured and
Speaker 4: cherished were being held in the dark, captive against their will,
Speaker 4: and slowly dying. When police responded to the calls at
Speaker 4: the home if the Katie residents, the police investigated the
Speaker 4: refrigerator and found no evidence of these beautiful beers there,
Speaker 4: but upon leaving they had a search warrant for the
Speaker 4: crisper drawer and they opened it. The evidence was there.
Speaker 4: The beers were dying, they were forgotten about. Simpson was
Speaker 4: taken into custody and said it was not his fault.
Speaker 4: He was under the influence of a decongestint.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. Anyway, if you don't hold my beer
Speaker 1: and watch this, this week is a wow. This is
Speaker 1: a wild wild hold my beer and watched this, which
Speaker 1: I was sent from a couple listeners. You definitely want
Speaker 1: to stay two for that. But let's get into how
Speaker 1: old beer is, because I don't know how old beer is.
Speaker 4: I've got the issues with this story, so many issues
Speaker 4: I do because we've been doing the show now, this
Speaker 4: is year eleven, that we're on year eleven, right, and
Speaker 4: even I remember when I did my first beer logic
Speaker 4: show fourteen some years.
Speaker 1: Ago, Chat Hunt and aftern Shut.
Speaker 4: For those of you who don't know what I look like. First,
Speaker 4: never had an Avro and I was started groovy bait.
Speaker 1: He had an afro pick in his hair. It's a
Speaker 1: bell bottoms.
Speaker 4: On knee high socks with that were white with a
Speaker 4: red stripe, and roller skates. Yeah, shorty shorts.
Speaker 1: He had shoes with fish the soul.
Speaker 4: All right enough, But when I started doing this, I
Speaker 4: am not kidding you. I was talking about how people
Speaker 4: believe that beer was five thousand years old, and I
Speaker 4: could end It's like, yeah, all evidence suggests beer is
Speaker 4: five thousand years old. And of course archaeologists are always
Speaker 4: searching throughout Egypt and throughout the Middle East, and they're
Speaker 4: finding new evidence, and all of a sudden, it's like, well, nope,
Speaker 4: beer's six thousand years old. Beer's seven thousand years old.
Speaker 4: And then they found evidence China that oh yeah, that
Speaker 4: beer is now nine thousand years old. I'm thinking to myself,
Speaker 4: but trust the I mean, I get it. We gotta adapt,
Speaker 4: we gotta trust the new. But I don't know how
Speaker 4: they're doing this. But beer archaeologists they are out there
Speaker 4: digging through all of this, and they are going through
Speaker 4: just all kinds of artifacts and finding things and testing
Speaker 4: it to determine how old it is. And well, they
Speaker 4: came up to a cave in Israel and where they
Speaker 4: where they have now discovered what they believed is the
Speaker 4: oldest known evidence of beer brewing, and it is the
Speaker 4: Rockefet and it's spelled with a Q in there, so
Speaker 4: rocket cave where there was an open mortar and bedrock
Speaker 4: and crushed soaked plant starches and there there were some
Speaker 4: residual sugars and they attribute it to the mashing process
Speaker 4: of brewing beer. And inside the rock effect cave they
Speaker 4: are now saying that beer is eleven thousand years old.
Speaker 4: So in ten years, in ten to fourteen years that
Speaker 4: I've been talking about beer, beer has aged six thousand
Speaker 4: years from five thousand years BC to eleven thousand BC.
Speaker 4: So actually, hold on, I forgot about that. Hold on,
Speaker 4: that's eleven thousand BC, which would make it actually thirteen
Speaker 4: thousand years old. So yes, it's not just five thousand
Speaker 4: years old, but yes, it's eleven thousand BC, which makes
Speaker 4: it thirteen. As we're a show about math, we can
Speaker 4: add okay. So I don't know why it matters, but
Speaker 4: it does kind of bother me that we are constantly
Speaker 4: finding new things and we're like, hey, I think it's
Speaker 4: a bunch of archaeologists to say, hey, you remember how
Speaker 4: much traction they got on the last beer article When
Speaker 4: they said, hey, beer's older than what we thought. Let's
Speaker 4: go that route. Let's see if we can get somebody else.
Speaker 4: Maybe we get some more funding for this project, and
Speaker 4: we can stay out here a little bit longer. I
Speaker 4: think that's what's happening here. I don't think it matters
Speaker 4: whether beer goes back to eleven thousand BC or nine
Speaker 4: thousand BC or five thousand BC. No, No, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: But I do think that there are researchers out there saying, hey,
Speaker 4: if we can add a few zero's or add another
Speaker 4: thousand years to this, we can get another grant. So
Speaker 4: there's my take on it. What grinds my gears. So
Speaker 4: I don't how old this beer. Who cares as long
Speaker 4: as the beer doesn't go in your crisper drawer and
Speaker 4: then it gets too old and you can't drink it.
Speaker 1: So they kind of talk about what the flavors are
Speaker 1: of these ancient beers, and they expect it to be
Speaker 1: a little bit tart, like a modern Dame Goza.
Speaker 4: But or this Bam beer that we're drinking this farmhouse,
Speaker 4: which is very barnyard funky, like pepper e bread beer.
Speaker 1: But you gotta rimber that back then there was no refrigeration,
Speaker 1: there was no ice boxes or anything, so they.
Speaker 4: Were drinking reverse osmosis water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bete of that. And you gotta think about the
Speaker 1: beer probably was pretty hot when they were drinking it.
Speaker 1: What do you think the tasting notes were. Let's get it, hey,
Speaker 1: mister Cicero b JCP. What's the profile on this beer
Speaker 1: from eleven thousand years ago?
Speaker 4: Tastes like it gets you drunk, So we're gonna drink it.
Speaker 4: Because life pretty much sucks out here. There's no air
Speaker 4: conditioning hasn't been invented yet. We still got to push
Speaker 4: things around with this thing called the wheel we had
Speaker 4: just invented. And because we don't have an internal combustion
Speaker 4: engine and they haven't ruined that with electric vehicles yet.
Speaker 4: But we are not in that sweet spot. Therefore, we
Speaker 4: will drink whatever is in front of us. And that's
Speaker 4: what it tastes like.
Speaker 1: Just put yourself at that time though, you know, get
Speaker 1: the deloreate go back to that time and you know
Speaker 1: you worked all day because you know, there's no cooling off,
Speaker 1: there's no fans or anything, so you're sweating building these
Speaker 1: you know, gigantic colosseums. You're like, all right, it's been
Speaker 1: a long day. Let's have ourselves a V's warm beer.
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, the Dolorean shows up
Speaker 4: and guy like me pops out and it's like, I
Speaker 4: don't think you did a diacadal. Rest on this pilsner
Speaker 4: here and then they and then they stabbed me and
Speaker 4: put me back in the Dolorian send me home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta throw it a jail and it called
Speaker 1: you a witch? All right, So howl does beer? We
Speaker 1: still don't know, all right? On tap this week. What
Speaker 1: we do know is what happens when you refuse to
Speaker 1: pay for a beer and it turns violent? And why
Speaker 1: does not alcoholic drinks? Why do they cost so much?
Speaker 1: And also will dive into the most popular beers in
Speaker 1: every state. Yep, there's another survey that came out. Ah,
Speaker 1: this is so much more. Hang with us, we'll be
Speaker 1: right back.
Speaker 3: The only thing we throw back on Thursday, he's a
Speaker 3: pint of beer or two or three. This is what's
Speaker 3: on tap radio. Back to James and Chad, pull my.
Speaker 4: Beer and watch this brought to you by your friends
Speaker 4: at We're all the ten taking Insurance Group art I
Speaker 4: Grand Rapids dot Com all.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm gonna put you guys on the spot. You

Speaker 1: rather go with pizza or tacos? Beer? You got the beer?
Speaker 1: Would you rather herot witho? Pizza or tacos? What says you, Chad?
Speaker 1: What says you? Bill?
Speaker 4: Depends on the pizza.
Speaker 5: I'd love. I'd rather have a barbecue chicken pizza and beer.

Speaker 1: the other. Bill, Pizza, pizza, tacos. I gotta go with pizza, okay, Chad.
Speaker 4: Tacos? Dude, give me, give me a freaking pacifico ic
Speaker 4: cold and some spicy tacos. Oh yeah, I am in.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with tacos too. And I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you why I go with tacos because pizza is so filling,
Speaker 1: but tacos sometimes, you know, they're small and you just
Speaker 1: have one taco. You're all right, I'm pretty good, but
Speaker 1: there's so much bread on.
Speaker 4: Tacos are kind of like a like a potato chip.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like especially get corn totillas.
Speaker 4: Oh right, you eat one and it's like you don't
Speaker 4: even feel like you're full, so you eat another one,
Speaker 4: and then when you start feeling full, you keep eating
Speaker 4: them and keep drinking well.
Speaker 1: According to a new survey of US adults like to
Speaker 1: eat tacos and around they eat Mexican dude at least
Speaker 1: once a month.
Speaker 4: Oh, this is a throwaway story if there ever was one.
Speaker 4: This is the dumbest research I've ever heard in my life.
Speaker 4: Ninety what percent of Americans.
Speaker 1: Like the tacos. Ninety wrong?
Speaker 4: All of them do, all, one hundred percent to eat tacos.
Speaker 4: And you do not need to do a research study
Speaker 4: or a survey to figure that out. You know, that's
Speaker 4: the dumbest thing in the world. Free tacos. There's a line,
Speaker 4: no way, no fricking way, nobody free tacos. Nobody knows
Speaker 4: I'll pass wrong. It's one hundred percent of everyone, everyone,
Speaker 4: people without teeth eat tacos.
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of US adults liked eat tacos. Eighty three
Speaker 1: percent say they eat Mexican food at least once a month.
Speaker 1: I eat Mexic food, like at least once a week.
Speaker 4: You live in Texas and of course you do.
Speaker 1: Spoiled. Uh, seventeen percent say they eat weekly. I'm not
Speaker 1: seventeen percent. We all is eat Mexican food, love it,
Speaker 1: love it, love it. And Mexican food is actually American
Speaker 1: second favorite casiede behind Italian. People like Italian food over
Speaker 1: Mexican food. You believe that interesting, It is interesting.
Speaker 4: I don't understand that.
Speaker 1: At all, so I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't. In fact, you don't see T shirts that
Speaker 4: say things like just give me beer in Lasagna, Well,
Speaker 4: it says give.
Speaker 1: Me beer and tacos, beer and pizza though that's an Italian.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't even see I don't even see
Speaker 4: T shirts that say give me beer and pizza. It
Speaker 4: says beer and tacos.
Speaker 5: Is there a classification for American food like hamburgers, hot dogs?
Speaker 5: Seems like more people like that than Italian.
Speaker 1: No, bill, Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Well, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Ie, I get what you're saying. You want
Speaker 1: to know. The most popular taco filling is.
Speaker 4: Chicken carnitas no beef, is it beef? Okay?
Speaker 1: Chicken chicken a second, followed by steak, shrimp, fish, pork,
Speaker 1: and beads six wrong and as far as the topic,
Speaker 1: their taco to have cheese lettuce is next, followed by
Speaker 1: sour cream, salsa, tomatoes, guacamole, vegetables, and beads.
Speaker 4: Give me a corn tortilla with pretty much any properly
Speaker 4: cooked meat Carnita's style, moom throw it in there, and
Speaker 4: I don't care. You give me a beer and that
Speaker 4: life's good. I'm telling you, man, So well I made
Speaker 4: I made a really nice pot roast. Fine, that's called
Speaker 4: leftovers tonight. Tacos? Why because one people are gonna choose
Speaker 4: a taco over everything. Well, we have tacos, and we
Speaker 4: have doesn't wait, you have tacos, I don't care about
Speaker 4: the other the end. You have beer too, right, Okay, fine,
Speaker 4: I'll still eat the tacos, but I'm gonna go get beer.
Speaker 1: I want to give a plug real quick. So last week,
Speaker 1: neighbor Chris and I that's their first name drop. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we have, we have dropped the names yet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, people are gonna think we don't know anybody.
Speaker 1: So neighbor Chris and I went out to No Label
Speaker 1: for their annual Octoberfest party, which was so much fun,
Speaker 1: so much fun, Oh my god. And they have Berria
Speaker 1: tacos there. Oh my god, they're so great plug Berrier boys.
Speaker 1: They're my favorite. And you get and they're cheap. They're
Speaker 1: super cheap. You get like three or four tacos for
Speaker 1: like ten bucks, and they're pretty nice sized. And then
Speaker 1: give you that. I'm just that Berria dip. And I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what, Like neighbor Chris, we ordered it, and
Speaker 1: I was actually m seeing the stein contest and so
Speaker 1: never Chris went to go get the tacos and he
Speaker 1: brought them back to the table and I was doing
Speaker 1: the steinholding contest and then it was over. So I
Speaker 1: was probably gone for about ten minutes because I did
Speaker 1: both the men and the women steinholding. And so I
Speaker 1: come back and I'm thinking, Okay, these tacos got to
Speaker 1: be cool enough to eat because they've been sitting here
Speaker 1: for like, you know, ten minutes. It's dude, I took
Speaker 1: a bite of that lava, just straight lava in my mouth.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Unfortunately, everything tastes like rubber for a month after
Speaker 4: that tongue.
Speaker 1: Dude. The next day, I was hating life because I
Speaker 1: could not because I was hungover, because I wasn't. No,
Speaker 1: it was the fact that I couldn't taste anything.
Speaker 4: Everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chad was right. Everything just tastes like rubber. But
Speaker 1: worth it, worth it, worth it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hate to dwell on the tacos story a
Speaker 4: little bit. This is a little off script, but I
Speaker 4: want to tell you if you're ever go visiting in
Speaker 4: the Houston market or go anywhere in Texas, the best
Speaker 4: tacos come from a truck that has just hand painted
Speaker 4: lettering on it. There's no there's absolutely no uh formal
Speaker 4: signage or whatever. It's parked under a flickering street lamp
Speaker 4: in an abandoned gas station. And you're like, I'm not
Speaker 4: sure if I'm going to you know this is a
Speaker 4: bad deal or not. No, the best tacos come from there. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and they probably they'll just take your money only. And
Speaker 4: then the cool thing is is that abandoned gas station
Speaker 4: just down the road from an open gas station. We're
Speaker 4: in Texas, you can just walk in and buy a
Speaker 4: tall boy of your Mexican logger and they'll drop it
Speaker 4: in a little paper sack for you and you got
Speaker 4: your beer and tacos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Yeah, we call the roach coaches.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you would think like I'm gonna get food poisoning.
Speaker 1: This can't be any there's good no food inspectors specting
Speaker 1: this truck.
Speaker 4: But they can't they make well, they can't catch it.
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, we gotta find that truck and inspect it. Quick, quick,
Speaker 4: pack up, we gotta roll to the next abandoned gas station.
Speaker 1: And then when they give you, they give you your
Speaker 1: food in that brown paper bag. There's just so much
Speaker 1: grease you can al those seed It's.
Speaker 4: That's right, you drinking your beer and and and the
Speaker 4: beer bottles slipping out of your hand because there's so
Speaker 4: much grease on it.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell your mand this with a I love
Speaker 1: beery tacos. But anyways, ninety percent of the people of
Speaker 1: Americans love tacos.
Speaker 4: And ten percent didn't answer the question because it's one hundred.
Speaker 1: So speaking of that, I came across another survey, and
Speaker 1: you know, I love a good survey, and it says,
Speaker 1: what's that one thing you'll never say no to? So
Speaker 1: someone asked the internet, what's the one thing you'll never
Speaker 1: say no to? And here's some of the best responses.
Speaker 4: I can think of two, but go ahead, speak on
Speaker 4: the list.
Speaker 1: Tacos aso on the list pizza. But also we have
Speaker 1: a hug, we have mushroom ravioli. What the hell is
Speaker 1: mushroom ravioli? And why is that on the list?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: An invitation to go shopping. Cute pets or specifically the
Speaker 1: opportunity to pet a cat, flowers, ice cream, money, somebody's
Speaker 1: offering to pick up a check.
Speaker 4: All right, money, Yeah, that's an easy I about a
Speaker 4: nice nap. Is beer on that list?
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm getting there a bill? Uh I paid day off?
Speaker 1: And my my favorite on the list, an invitation to
Speaker 1: have a cold beer. I can't say that. I can't
Speaker 1: turn that downumber one, Well, i'd put up a chronological
Speaker 1: or there's.
Speaker 4: A there's another invitation that I never turned down either,
Speaker 4: and well, my wife's not here to vouch for it.
Speaker 4: But if you know what I'm saying, two.
Speaker 1: Things on my list, I don't know what check.
Speaker 4: Please explain my wife gives me an invitation, or I
Speaker 4: get an invitation from anyone for a beer. There you go.
Speaker 4: Those those are two separate invitations.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I do like it when people. I do
Speaker 1: like it when people call me up and say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you want a beer, especially like a neighbor, like dude, yes,
Speaker 1: I could take a beer.
Speaker 4: Yep. Even if you weren't thinking about You're like, uh,
Speaker 4: I'm not drinking today. All of a sudden, I look,
Speaker 4: Oh it's neighbor John. Oh wait, there's a name problem.
Speaker 1: That's one thing.
Speaker 4: When I live you want a beer, I'm like, well,
Speaker 4: I wasn't going to drink today, but yes, I would
Speaker 4: love one.
Speaker 1: When I live next to Vic and neighbor Chris, Vic
Speaker 1: would call me up and say, hey, man, I got
Speaker 1: it a six pack of IPA, Do you want one.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, Yes, I do, Yes, I do.
Speaker 1: And my wife would be like, it's ten o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning, don't care. All right, that's our number one
Speaker 1: of the books. Coming up next hour, we got to
Speaker 1: talk about recycling wasted hops for something useful and Holy
Speaker 1: my beer, and watch this which is rather disturbing. All
Speaker 1: coming up next hour. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: After reading about the evils of drinking. We made up
Speaker 3: our mind we're gonna stop reading. What's on Tap Radio
Speaker 3: continues with James Simpson and Chad Pilbeam.
Speaker 4: Superior Pest Control of West Michigan, Superior Pest dot Biz.
Speaker 4: They are sponsors of the research department here at What's
Speaker 4: on Tap Radio making sure that we have all this
Speaker 4: awesome content. Give them a call or reach out to
Speaker 4: them at Superior Pest dot biz.
Speaker 1: I'd like to welcome you to our number two of
Speaker 1: What's on Tap Radio. Got a lot on tap this hour,
Speaker 1: just getting prepared for this. Hole my beer and watch this,
Speaker 1: which is really, really, really disturbing.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say it. Normally we like to have
Speaker 4: some element of humor to hold my beer and watch this,
Speaker 4: but this is more of a public service announcement. This
Speaker 4: is more of a like, please, don't ever ever do this,
Speaker 4: and if you and if you see something, say something,
Speaker 4: because that's really what this story comes down to something.
Speaker 1: Multiple witnesses in the story.
Speaker 4: Yes, and you need to speak up. Don't be that guy.
Speaker 4: If there's an ABC show and I'm not trying to
Speaker 4: get ahead of ourselves here, but there's an ABC show
Speaker 4: where what would you do? And they run these scenarios
Speaker 4: in front of you, and you watch people get mistreated
Speaker 4: in public or something happens in public, and you watch
Speaker 4: innocent people around witnessing this and to see what they
Speaker 4: would do. Would they get involved? Would they step up?
Speaker 4: Would they say something? Well, fortunately somebody does in this one.
Speaker 1: So that's coming up in a second. Let me give
Speaker 1: you a little teacher of what we got on tap
Speaker 1: this hour. Baseball playoffs happening right now. Unfortunately Chicago Cubs
Speaker 1: did not make the playoffs. But there's a good story
Speaker 1: that came out of Wrigley Field, a Chicago Cubs player
Speaker 1: and how he treated the fans. Very cool story. Also,
Speaker 1: we get this list every so often and it just
Speaker 1: depends on the publication. But another publication comes out with
Speaker 1: the most popular beers in every state. We'll look at that.
Speaker 1: Recycling waisted hops becomes something useful. We'll talk about that
Speaker 1: and what happens when refusing to pay for a beer
Speaker 1: turns violence. Also non alcoholic drinks, why they cost so much?
Speaker 1: All coming up this hour, hopefully, hopefully we get to them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a lot of squeeze on here. Speaking
Speaker 4: of squeeze in James, we have an empty glass and
Speaker 4: we gotta like we can squeeze it into our glass.
Speaker 4: We gotta full can of beer that needs to be released. Bill,
Speaker 4: what are we drinking?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 5: The Edge of Darkness A double Hazy I p A
Speaker 5: with Mosaic Cops. Thanks to my buddies Jamie and Chris
Speaker 5: down Social Project Brewing in Bentonville, Arkansas.
Speaker 4: Oh that's right, home of the Walmart. Yeah, yes, the
Speaker 4: first Yes, double hazy. What this is called edge of darkness?
Speaker 4: Edge of darkness? I expect it to be a like
Speaker 4: a black hazy. I p if there was such a thing.
Speaker 4: I didn't know they were gonna call it edge of
Speaker 4: darkness for a beer this light and color. But okay,
Speaker 4: mm hm oh that's I'm not a hazy connoisseur, but
Speaker 4: that's pretty damn good. I like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just the type of fruity melonish that you
Speaker 5: want in a haze.
Speaker 4: It does have both of those. You hit the nail
Speaker 4: on the head with that and it finishes dry, but
Speaker 4: it also a little bit boozy. You can feel the
Speaker 4: you can feel the warmth on that. That's nice eight
Speaker 4: point something eight point one. Yeah, that actually comes through
Speaker 4: really nice edge of darkness. All right, good stuff, all right,
Speaker 4: m are we prepared, we mentally prepared for this. I
Speaker 4: think you need to tell the kids, kids, go in
Speaker 4: the other room for a minute. No, because because honestly,
Speaker 4: I think the kids, if the kids are in the room,
Speaker 4: they're gonna say Mom.
Speaker 1: You didn't do that with me, did you?
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, insurance group, We're sorry.
Speaker 2: Here we go, hold my beer and watch this brought
Speaker 2: to you by the ringdolda ten hacen insurance group where
Speaker 2: they'll cover you for just about everything except this.
Speaker 1: Like to thank a couple of our listeners that went
Speaker 1: to What's on Tap Radio at gmail dot com and
Speaker 1: sent me this story and said have you seen this story?
Speaker 1: I think Kip even sent the story to us. So
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. So everyone likes to talk
Speaker 1: about how much groceries are with al, but how much
Speaker 1: are people wanting for babies these days? So a couple
Speaker 1: in Arkansas we got real quiet, James, twenty one year
Speaker 1: old Darien Urban and twenty year old Charlene Ellers, So
Speaker 1: we have a twenty one year old and a twenty
Speaker 1: year old were arrested last week after they tried to
Speaker 1: sell their two month old boy to a man at
Speaker 1: a campground for one thousand dollars and a six pack
Speaker 1: of beer. And this is not one of those cool
Speaker 1: stories that like in Almost Famous where they traded penny
Speaker 1: Lane for a six pack of beer.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, if you've seen the movie, Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 4: it's a case the case case. It's like she cut down,
Speaker 4: She's like yeah, she's she's like, wait a minute, she's
Speaker 4: all upset, but then she drives her tears and says,
Speaker 4: what kind of beer? By the way, they might remember.
Speaker 1: It was Heineken, right, it was a case of hind
Speaker 1: case Heina.
Speaker 4: And she was all excited because she was like, okay,
Speaker 4: because it's expensive beer. Back then it was considered it
Speaker 4: was is an import.
Speaker 1: So well, unfortunately we don't know what beer was trying
Speaker 1: to go in this transaction. But yeah, they tried to
Speaker 1: sell a two month old baby boy at a campground
Speaker 1: for one thousand dollars and a six pack of beer,
Speaker 1: and they are facing felony charges of endangering the welfare
Speaker 1: of a miner and attempting to accept compensation for elinquishment
Speaker 1: of a miner. The buyer and I say, the buyer
Speaker 1: quote unquote was named Cody Martin. Even drew up a
Speaker 1: receipt and the couple signed it and it said, quote,
Speaker 1: we are signing our rights over to Cody Martin of
Speaker 1: our baby boy for one thousand dollars on nine to
Speaker 1: one of twenty twenty four disclaimer after signing this that
Speaker 1: there will be no changing y'all's two minds into never
Speaker 1: con tacked again, y'all's two minds.
Speaker 4: That's a direct quote. Yea, that is not proper grammar,
Speaker 4: but that y'all's two minds, no change in y'all two minds.
Speaker 1: I'm not actually sure if that would stand up in court, though,
Speaker 1: just put that out there. It's probably probably written about
Speaker 1: a cocktail, napkin or something. Multiple people witnessed the transaction
Speaker 1: at the campground, although no money had changed hands yet.
Speaker 1: One of the witnesses called the cops.
Speaker 4: See something, say something.
Speaker 1: Yep, did the beer change hands?
Speaker 7: Ah?
Speaker 1: That No, I don't think anything changed hands. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: So the buyer, Cody, says the mother told him she
Speaker 1: wanted to give up her son because quote, it was
Speaker 1: not working having three dogs and a baby. And even
Speaker 1: though sell the dogs, and even if this adoption would
Speaker 1: never be legal, the kid probably wouldn't be better off.
Speaker 1: When the cops got there, a deputy called emergency medical
Speaker 1: services to transport the baby to the hospital for evaluation
Speaker 1: for signs of neglect. The child isn't care of the
Speaker 1: Arkansas Department of Human Services. Not surprisingly, there are a
Speaker 1: lot of drinking happening there at the campground that day.
Speaker 1: Even one of the men who tried to help the
Speaker 1: baby was totally blinched when he was talking to the police.
Speaker 1: And so you hold my beer and watched this presented
Speaker 1: by our friends or a Renald Tenecan insurance group. You
Speaker 1: heard it, folks, a couple try to sell their baby
Speaker 1: for beer. And that, my friends, we're gonna go to
Speaker 1: break and try.
Speaker 4: To yeah, try and get get back together.
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring that back together.
Speaker 4: That the pieces are apart.
Speaker 1: Hold my beer and watch this presented by Renald Tenakan
Speaker 1: Insurance Group. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: When someone says, hold my beer, you know a trip
Speaker 3: to the er is in your future. So hold your
Speaker 3: own beer, buddy, and just listen to more of what's
Speaker 3: what's on TEMP Radio.
Speaker 1: I have to say, we're do hold my being to
Speaker 1: watch this for a long time, and I mean a
Speaker 1: long time. And I feel like that was probably the
Speaker 1: most awkward segues we had out of a hold my
Speaker 1: being to watch this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we we we we didn't plan the transition. Well,
Speaker 4: it's like, no, all right, we're gonna do this story
Speaker 4: and the lawyers are gonna let us do it. But
Speaker 4: I mean we were like, okay, we can, we can
Speaker 4: do this, and then we got to the end it
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: We're out of time, and I just looking at each
Speaker 1: other like, I guess we're just gonna we're just gonna break.
Speaker 4: I guess we get time for commercials, okay.
Speaker 1: Because usually we'll come out of the hold my being
Speaker 1: to watch this and we're laughing about it, and then
Speaker 1: we'll poke fun at them. But there's really nothing like
Speaker 1: and and the.
Speaker 4: Crazy thing is is we're on radio, so we don't
Speaker 4: know what commercials are on the other side. And so
Speaker 4: I mean, for all we know, there could be a
Speaker 4: commercial for an adoption agency, there could be baby formula.
Speaker 4: We have no idea what's on the other side of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't hear that. We don't hear their commercial spots.
Speaker 4: And then we come back and we're like, all right,
Speaker 4: well that was kind of dark, and I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: But here here are these two young punks who have
Speaker 1: this child, and they think to themselves, well, you know,
Speaker 1: having two dogs and a child just too much responsibility.
Speaker 1: So what if we trade helm for one thousand dollars
Speaker 1: in a six pack? Of beer. It doesn't even mention
Speaker 1: what kind of six pack of beer was. It's I'm
Speaker 1: thinking Arkansas. It's not drinking that Arkansas beer that that
Speaker 1: bills bring into the table.
Speaker 4: It ain't that edge of darkness here from what's the
Speaker 4: name of that brewery again.
Speaker 5: From Social Projects?
Speaker 1: No guarantee, it's not that brewery. It's not that brewery.
Speaker 4: No, No, they don't have that fine discerning palette.
Speaker 1: No, I'm thinking something like I'm not even a mintion
Speaker 1: because I don't want to get yelled at my own distributor, going,
Speaker 1: why you pick our beers? But anyways, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Why do you think people that drink our beers would
Speaker 4: sell their children? I mean, come on, man, that's not right.
Speaker 1: But luckily the baby safe. It was taken into the
Speaker 1: Department of Human Services and they've you know, they've been arrested.
Speaker 1: Which is a wild story out of Arkansas. So get
Speaker 1: a hold my beer and watch this. You never know,
Speaker 1: you never know what it's going to come across our desk.
Speaker 4: And the crazy thing is we have multiple people send
Speaker 4: us that story.
Speaker 1: Yes we did. It wasn't just like hey, I gotta
Speaker 1: do this story. No, we had listeners listeners, send us
Speaker 1: this story. Just keep doing it at What's on Tap
Speaker 1: Radio at gmail dot com. Or you want to slide too,
Speaker 1: our dms on TikTok x, Facebook, Instagram, whatever however you
Speaker 1: want to get ahold of us, please do so. Send
Speaker 1: us stories, beers that you want to us to crack open,
Speaker 1: and all sorts of stuff like that. Send us our
Speaker 1: you know, send us a message. But speaking of beers,
Speaker 1: I want to crack a beer because I've already finished
Speaker 1: my eleven below October Fest, which was so amazing. And no,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna crack the same beer. I'm actually go
Speaker 1: go a little something different. I Am going to continue
Speaker 1: with the loger category, but I'll take it over at
Speaker 1: No Label Brewer Company. The other day with our good
Speaker 1: old friend neighbor Chris Love love me some neighbor Chris,
Speaker 1: got a chance to catch up with him, spend a
Speaker 1: minute stuff. I hung out with him and had a
Speaker 1: good old time. But left the brewery with a six
Speaker 1: pack of hard hats and six packs. And this is
Speaker 1: a rice logger. And what I'm gonna do because I
Speaker 1: cracked this beer, I mean I dropped this beer coming
Speaker 1: out of the fridge.
Speaker 4: Come on, dude, open it.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Okay, that wasn't that was
Speaker 1: anti climatic, all.
Speaker 4: Right, Oh, okay. He was worried I was gonna spell.
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna go everywhere, so I actually
Speaker 1: had some.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was gonna run out of toilet paper to
Speaker 4: blow his nose with because you just have to clean
Speaker 4: up spilled beer, so I have to start using his shirt.
Speaker 5: That was a full roll too.
Speaker 1: It was straw notes. Uh, take a sip of this.
Speaker 4: He was worried that the talk about beer and tacos
Speaker 4: was gonna caused another problem. Need the toilet paper. All right,
Speaker 4: what do you got there, James?
Speaker 1: Bretty sweet hints up a garden rose in the finish.
Speaker 1: Flavor is much like the Arama pilsner malt. Take a
Speaker 1: center stage. It's extremely crisp, mouthfield, light body, little bitterness.
Speaker 3: Mm.
Speaker 1: The finish is crisp and smooth, very easy drinking. And
Speaker 1: this is at four alcohol four point five percent alcohol
Speaker 1: by volume.
Speaker 4: Nice man, your palette is on point. Although did you
Speaker 4: say it's a little bretty.
Speaker 1: It's a little bretty not too much?
Speaker 4: Is that in the tasting notes or did you pick
Speaker 4: up on that on your own I picked up on
Speaker 4: my own. Okay, all right, all right, I'm just asking
Speaker 4: if that was like, if you're if you're if your
Speaker 4: tasting notes mirrored that of what was in the brochure,
Speaker 4: because although I'm not, I have never known rice loggers
Speaker 4: to be bretty.
Speaker 1: But okay, I'm a disclaimer. I did just come off
Speaker 1: in October fast and I didn't pot.
Speaker 4: And you're on and you're on decongestin.
Speaker 1: Yeah so but uh yeah poors, pale clear, white, foamy head,
Speaker 1: good head retention, but yeah, showcase is sweet.
Speaker 4: Uh my beer and watch this This week comes to
Speaker 4: us from Katie, Texas. We're forty four year old James
Speaker 4: Simpson describes a rice lagger as bretty.
Speaker 1: Well, you gotta remember that I just took it. I
Speaker 1: just finished an october Fest, which is extremely ready, and
Speaker 1: that was the thing.
Speaker 4: And when police arrived on the scene and they were
Speaker 4: trying to understand why he described it as bretty, he said,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but I'm on a decongestant and just finished
Speaker 4: in october.
Speaker 1: Fest, right, hard hard hats and six packs and only
Speaker 1: a brewing company. It's a rice lagger, Japanese rice lagger,
Speaker 1: but at four point five percent by volume.
Speaker 4: Actually it was the beer police. I think that got him.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm just I'm just having fun throwing
Speaker 4: shade because Bill got me on tilt because whenever I
Speaker 4: said entomology and i'm etomology, don't put the N in
Speaker 4: there because otherwise you're talking about insects. But my one
Speaker 4: sheet went down, all right, speaking my one sheets back
Speaker 4: up and running, And speaking of being back up and running.
Speaker 1: I have to say, chatting very hoppy. This beer's not
Speaker 1: very hoppy.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't expect it to be. No Rice Laggers, I
Speaker 4: tell you, I'm a maybe it's my my age, but
Speaker 4: I'm coming around. I'm I'm liking some of the lighter,
Speaker 4: more crisp, delicious beers and just beer that tastes like beer.
Speaker 4: And Rice Laggers are just damn refreshing, really really nice beers.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm fine if they're not. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: you can read a newspaper through that thing right there.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 4: What the hell is? What the hell's the newspaper anyway?
Speaker 1: Anyways? Showing my age, it's what you'd used to trade puppies, yeah,
Speaker 1: used to anyway.
Speaker 4: All right, So if you remember We've talked about this
Speaker 4: on the air before. In Houston, there's something called the
Speaker 4: Beer Can House.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's actually a historical landmark. It is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an entire house just layered and layered and layered.
Speaker 1: In the early days of What's on TAB Radio, were
Speaker 1: supposed to do a show there, but it never happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just I mean thousands and thousands and thousands of cans.
Speaker 4: And we talked about before. There is a monastery. It's
Speaker 4: a I think it's in Tibet or Thailand, maybe it's Thailand,
Speaker 4: and it's made out of beer bottles, and I thought,
Speaker 4: all right, that's pretty cool. And we've talked about what
Speaker 4: to do with spent grain from the beer making process
Speaker 4: where grain used to make beer, Well, what are we
Speaker 4: going to do with it after we've done that, and
Speaker 4: it's being given to cattle to make them better? But pizza,
Speaker 4: feed them, make pizza, do make pizza? Doh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: you can. You can feed the cattle and take care
Speaker 4: of them, but what do you do with all of
Speaker 4: the spent hops turns out that only about twenty percent
Speaker 4: of the hop can be used in the beer process,
Speaker 4: and that's eighty percent waste. Now, some of that waste
Speaker 4: is gonna be used for biofuel, but for the most part,
Speaker 4: brewers are looking for places to just dump it. And
Speaker 4: sometimes the hops they dry out so much that they
Speaker 4: catch on fire, and it's yeah, yeah, they got these
Speaker 4: big old piles of hops that just sit out in
Speaker 4: the sun, they dry all out, and eventually, you know,
Speaker 4: one little spark or something and it sets his just
Speaker 4: wasted hops on fire. Well, a Technical University of Munich
Speaker 4: there in Germany, students back in twenty twenty two were
Speaker 4: sitting around drinking beer. I'm sure. No, it actually says
Speaker 4: that they were sitting around smoking banana leafs. No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 4: But they were wondering and they were thinking about how
Speaker 4: banana leafs and banana fibers in Colombia were being used
Speaker 4: and made into sustainable building materials, and of course they
Speaker 4: were probably drinking leader sized beers. And they went and
Speaker 4: did research and within a few months they created hop
Speaker 4: from on, like a hop phenomenon or play on the
Speaker 4: German word for hops, which is hop on, And they
Speaker 4: are now creating building materials out of spent hops instead
Speaker 4: of sending them out to landfills to just decompose or
Speaker 4: potentially catch on fire. The eighty percent waste of fresh
Speaker 4: hops is now going through a patent pending process that
Speaker 4: is producing building materials and seeing is one third of
Speaker 4: all waste generated in the EU comes from construction and
Speaker 4: demolition industry. This is a perfect target. So way to go, guys,
Speaker 4: the fighting whatever you are of the Technical University of Munich.
Speaker 1: Way to go building buildings and houses out of spent hops.
Speaker 1: I like that. Yes, I got a theory on that.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that coming up. Also, we can talk
Speaker 1: about when refusing to pay for a beer turns violence.
Speaker 1: All this so much more. Heck with us, We'll right back.
Speaker 3: The tabs are open, and so is your fly. Oh
Speaker 3: the only little stubbies you want to see have beer
Speaker 3: in them. Zip up and buckle up for more of
Speaker 3: what's on tamp radio.
Speaker 1: All right, suffering through the allergies. Tough time a year
Speaker 1: for me, even though I enjoyed the most just because
Speaker 1: of the October Fest season. College football's back, the NFL
Speaker 1: got college or playoff baseball. Temperatures are finally getting cooler.
Speaker 1: Just an exciting time, although I just can't breathe. Last segment,
Speaker 1: we're talking about this University of Munich. And one of
Speaker 1: the other things that we used to do with What's
Speaker 1: on Tap Radio the old days is when we would
Speaker 1: come up with these stories or surveys that come out
Speaker 1: of the university whatever anything, whatever it is, university have
Speaker 1: filled the blank. We were then go seeking the mascot.
Speaker 1: We have the mascot of the University of Munich where
Speaker 1: this study was of.
Speaker 4: The Technical University of.
Speaker 1: Munich recycling wastle hops for something useful like construction.
Speaker 4: I feel like this is this is kind of like yeah,
Speaker 4: because this is one of the most prestigious universities in
Speaker 4: all of the world, the Technical University of Munich. I
Speaker 4: feel like this is something that Cheech and Chong would
Speaker 4: have come up with if they could get into an
Speaker 4: Ivy League school. I mean, because they were sitting there
Speaker 4: and they're like, hey, you know what, you know what
Speaker 4: they're doing with banana leaves far out? Man, you know
Speaker 4: what we should do? Wonder what we can do with
Speaker 4: some hops. By the way, the Technical University of Munich,
Speaker 4: their mascot is Timmy. Timmy, who's a I haven't been
Speaker 4: able to figure this out. He kind of looks like
Speaker 4: a squirrel, but I don't know if he's a squirrel
Speaker 4: or a bear, but he travels all over the world.
Speaker 4: I don't know it just him. It looks like a bear.
Speaker 1: But then I did I guess he was a ram.
Speaker 1: I have no weight.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, he's a squirrel or a
Speaker 4: He's not a ram.
Speaker 1: I thought he was a ram. Okay, okay, Well, well
Speaker 1: we were talking about it. Yeah, these reset the story.
Speaker 1: So these students at this university.
Speaker 4: All right, all right, so here we go. You're making beer.
Speaker 4: Let's start with the problem. You're burning beer. You got
Speaker 4: leftover green All right, we'll give it to cattle, or
Speaker 4: we'll sell it to farmers cheap feed. Okay, problem solved.
Speaker 4: But if you're using fresh whole hops, the waste is
Speaker 4: eighty percent on that where only twenty percent gets used
Speaker 4: in the brewing process. Well that eighty percent it gets
Speaker 4: tossed into the trash or it gets thrown out into
Speaker 4: a field. They're looking for a way to dispose of it,
Speaker 4: and turns out some of the stuff when it breaks
Speaker 4: down creates greenhouse gases, and if it dries out too much,
Speaker 4: it can catch on fire. But there's really very little
Speaker 4: use for that eighty percent waste that comes from hops,
Speaker 4: and these guys were sitting around They're like, wait a minute,
Speaker 4: what are you gonna do with leftover banana leaves and
Speaker 4: all those banana fibers, Like, well, they turned it into
Speaker 4: construction material. Well. The years twenty twenty two, we're at
Speaker 4: one of the most prestigious universities in the world, the
Speaker 4: Technical University of Munich. We have Timmy, the traveling mascot.
Speaker 4: Why not figure out how to turn hops into building materials?
Speaker 4: And that's what they're doing. So it's a patent pending
Speaker 4: process using chopped up and separated hops with other binding agents,
Speaker 4: and they're creating these thermal insulation and building boards to
Speaker 4: be able to do construction. I guess it's going to
Speaker 4: be kind of like if you were to use sheet
Speaker 4: rock or drywall. Eh, well, maybe you could have a
Speaker 4: all natural hop infused with trywall. I don't know how
Speaker 4: that works, but they're finding ways to reclaim those materials.
Speaker 1: All I know is if I learned anything from the
Speaker 1: Three Little Pigs that if you have a housemade out
Speaker 1: of straw, a househo made out of hey oh, a
Speaker 1: house made out of spent hops, and a house made
Speaker 1: out of brick. I'm going with the brick. Yeah, out there.
Speaker 4: Oh I'm going I'm going with spent hops. Dude, what
Speaker 4: are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: Well, because you think about this for one second. If
Speaker 4: the wolf knows that it's a house made out of
Speaker 4: spent hops, he's going to be like, hey, I should
Speaker 4: get rather than blow their house down, I should hang
Speaker 4: out with these guys because they probably have beer facts.
Speaker 4: Speaking of which, Bill and I we got a beer
Speaker 4: here that we want to crack. What are we cracking?
Speaker 5: Bill from the Science Project Brewing Company, the Iron Hops?
Speaker 4: Juicy?
Speaker 1: I p a. Where are they out of?
Speaker 4: Where's this place? Ah? Good question? Indiana? Okay, Collinsville, there
Speaker 4: we go, look at it.
Speaker 5: He pulled that out of his Collinsville, Indiana.
Speaker 4: All righty, he quickly pulled that one out.
Speaker 1: All right, say Arkansas? All right?
Speaker 4: No, but no, but three Floyds is out of Indiana
Speaker 4: as well, So I mean he's he's keeping it is,
Speaker 4: keeping it real. All right. Well, let's take quick sip
Speaker 4: nice all right, I gotta I gotta let my palette
Speaker 4: adjust because we just came off of a hazy and
Speaker 4: that's a juicy and right. Yeah, we had a really
Speaker 4: really good hazy, and now I gotta I gotta let
Speaker 4: my palate adjust. Never judge a beer until the third sip,
Speaker 4: and that was our first sip. We will come back
Speaker 4: to that and we will let you know what we
Speaker 4: think be before the end of the segment. But James, yeah,
Speaker 4: I got some I want to talk about something.
Speaker 1: Some tragic news to report. So I had this philosophy,
Speaker 1: whatever Chad and I we go out to anything, Great
Speaker 1: American Beer Festival or we're going out to any kind
Speaker 1: of events. When I'm with Rodney and we go out
Speaker 1: to the craft beers conventions, I have I have a
Speaker 1: saying that always get back to the hotel by midnight,
Speaker 1: because nothing ever good happens after midnight. Ever.
Speaker 4: Pause pause. When we went out to the Great American
Speaker 4: Beer Festival the very first time, we were out until
Speaker 4: two something am.
Speaker 1: You were out till two am?
Speaker 7: Not me?
Speaker 4: Can I remember this? I remember this, and it was
Speaker 4: it's like, Chad, nothing good happens after two am. And
Speaker 4: then we started getting reeling it back in. Its like
Speaker 4: all right, we're gonna get in one thirty. We got
Speaker 4: it as like one forty five, Like Chad, nothing good
Speaker 4: happens after one thirty am, and then one and then twelve,
Speaker 4: and eventually it got to be twelve to be like Chad,
Speaker 4: that's normally my rule. My rule is nothing good happens
Speaker 4: after midnight and.
Speaker 1: Exactly right, what was your rule? And then I still
Speaker 1: stick to that to this day. I want to be
Speaker 1: back at the hotel. I can be hey, I can
Speaker 1: be at the hotel bar after midnight, but I want
Speaker 1: to be back at the hotel because here's another story.
Speaker 1: Here's another story to back me up on this. So
Speaker 1: two people were slashed in Chinatown. This happened in Brooklyn
Speaker 1: after refusing to give a group money for beer. So
Speaker 1: two people are slashed in Chinatown after refusing to give
Speaker 1: a group money for beer.
Speaker 4: So two young men people walk up and they're like, hey, yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: I got you.
Speaker 1: So two young men ages twenty four and twenty seven
Speaker 1: were slashed in the arm and stomach around three twelve am.
Speaker 1: So I guess it can't be around three twelve. It
Speaker 1: would be three.
Speaker 4: Twelve yeah, I know, yeah, at approximately three twelve and
Speaker 4: fifteen seconds. Yeah, so both it's very specific.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So both men were taken to an area hospital
Speaker 1: and stable condition. A group approached the two men asked
Speaker 1: them for beer money, but the twenty four and twenty
Speaker 1: seven year old refused, according to sources, and the refusal
Speaker 1: sparky fight and then ended with the slashing, sources said,
Speaker 1: and police are now searching for three people that believe
Speaker 1: are were involved in the attack, according to NYPD, and
Speaker 1: it was not immediately clear whether the men knew their
Speaker 1: suspected attackers. So again, nothing ever good happens after midnight.
Speaker 4: No, no, this story tells you that nothing good happens
Speaker 4: after three eleven in the morning, because this happened had
Speaker 4: three twelve. So at three eleven they were fine. At
Speaker 4: three twelve is when things went south. So if you're
Speaker 4: out you're having a good time, remember you're looking at
Speaker 4: your watch. You're like, it's three oh eight. Man, we've
Speaker 4: got three minutes. That's aul. We got to get home
Speaker 4: because nothing good happens after three eleven. And so that's question,
Speaker 4: do you have a rule that nothing good happens after
Speaker 4: such and such time?
Speaker 1: Well, it's good you want to get back to you know,
Speaker 1: the hotel, to get into good night's sleep. And so
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, why not get back of midnight,
Speaker 1: because you know, get yourself into good night's sleep and
Speaker 1: again not get murdered or slashed.
Speaker 4: Okay, look at James being all responsible. It's like, man,
Speaker 4: I want a good I want a good night's sleep,
Speaker 4: and I don't want to be stabbed in the stomach. Okay,
Speaker 4: all right, Well, I mean, you know, James has his priorities.
Speaker 4: I have mine. I think I think some really good
Speaker 4: stories come out at three twelve in the morning. I mean,
Speaker 4: I'll take my chances. I'm too old to stay out
Speaker 4: that light. Yeah, bills like, Bill's like three twelve. I don't.
Speaker 4: I've never been stabbed at three twelve in the afternoon.
Speaker 4: No morning bills.
Speaker 6: More.
Speaker 5: Well, I got to get back, chase the kids off
Speaker 5: my lawn.
Speaker 1: Well I'm in this campground. Story took place in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: But I get you know, nobody was stabbed. But yeah,
Speaker 1: here these people are like how does that even happen?
Speaker 1: Like you're just walking, you know, mine your own business,
Speaker 1: and somebody is like, hey, get me money for beer now.
Speaker 4: But we don't even know how they Maybe they asked nice,
Speaker 4: Maybe they were like, yeah it was hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 4: by the way, I like my kids happen to have
Speaker 4: any yah, I like any extra cash for for a
Speaker 4: beer because we're kind of thirsty and just you know,
Speaker 4: we're fresh out of cash. You're like, go away, you bums.
Speaker 4: We don't want anything. It's like, oh, you call us
Speaker 4: a bum all right, here here, let's see what you're thinking, like.
Speaker 1: This, Oh, I see what you're saying. By the way,
Speaker 1: so you're thinking maybe they provoked there, like hey, get
Speaker 1: out of here, losers, get a job, you bumps. And
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, man, we're just asking you for money.
Speaker 1: And maybe they were the addressor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but if you're gonna be like that, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: stab you, by the way, not the appropriate response. And
Speaker 4: and you know you learned you just walk away. I
Speaker 4: mean sticks and stones, right, sticks and stones may break
Speaker 4: my bones, but knives will stab you in the stomach, okay,
Speaker 4: And just don't do that.
Speaker 1: And the point of this conversation is friends, nothing ever
Speaker 1: good happens after midnight or three eleven three or three
Speaker 1: eleven three eleven am. But nothing you ever go says
Speaker 1: after midnight. All Right, we gotta take a break. Coming
Speaker 1: up to the last segment, we got a lot of
Speaker 1: stories we gotta try to squeeze in in clearing what
Speaker 1: happened in the Cubs game, which is amazing and not
Speaker 1: alcoholic drinks while they cost so much, And if we
Speaker 1: could get to it, the most popular beers in every
Speaker 1: USA state, we'll try. We'll do our best. All this
Speaker 1: so much more. In the last semement, hang with us.
Speaker 3: We'll right back and now you're weekend forecast.
Speaker 4: Chance of.
Speaker 3: Beer. You've got What's on Tap radio?
Speaker 4: We don't thank our friends at Tantrik Brewing Company, located
Speaker 4: in Alegan, Michigan, right there on the Kalamazoo River. Beautiful sites,
Speaker 4: beautiful beer, beautiful food, and uh yeah, you see the
Speaker 4: beer logic guy in there hanging out. Stop by get
Speaker 4: a free What's on tap radio? High five? Great beer,
Speaker 4: great times, great food. Located an Alligan, Michigan. Tantrik Brewing Company.
Speaker 1: All right, last segment of the week. Still so much
Speaker 1: to get to, so buckle up, we're gonna fly fast.
Speaker 1: But this last segment of the week brought to you.
Speaker 1: Buy our friends all Tantrik Brewing Company.
Speaker 4: Tantrik Brewing Company. Look, hey a Alligan, Michigan, where you
Speaker 4: can stop in real fast, grab yourself beer, and walk
Speaker 4: around the social district to downtown. Tantrik brew.
Speaker 1: All right, so every now and then we get these stories.
Speaker 1: Once every couple months, a new map shows the most
Speaker 1: popular beers in every USA state. So let's look who
Speaker 1: let's look at what this survey put out, all right,
Speaker 1: and I think this is I'm gonna put my editorial
Speaker 1: hat on dumbest survey I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: So I'm a survey well, even dumber than the ninety
Speaker 4: percent of people like to eat tacos. Whenever we know
Speaker 4: it's one hundred.
Speaker 1: I was a great That was a great survey. Anyways.
Speaker 1: A new study has showcased the most popular beers across
Speaker 1: the United States based on the Internet search data, highlighting
Speaker 1: regional preferences which some household names top charts. The analysts
Speaker 1: by health research company blah blah blah dot com, which
Speaker 1: used Google trends and they're not a sponsored so I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna plug them, but they use Google trends and
Speaker 1: revealed some surprising state by state favorites. The three most
Speaker 1: popular beers in the United States are, according to this
Speaker 1: Google trend data, number three, Modello number two, bud Light
Speaker 1: number one, Corona. Corona's the most popular overall, leading in
Speaker 1: numerous states, especially in the South, states like Alabama, Florida,
Speaker 1: and Georgia show preference for the Mexican beer, demonstrating its
Speaker 1: appeal far beyond its home country. On the West Coast,
Speaker 1: Mexican beers like Modello and Corona dominate, but Light comes
Speaker 1: in second and is the most popular in the Midwest,
Speaker 1: including North Dakota, which is a state that drinks the
Speaker 1: most beer. Uh people, Wisconsin favorite fat tire Get them
Speaker 1: out of here, gosh will. While Miller Lite is popular
Speaker 1: in West Virginia and Missouri. Blue Moon tops the rankings
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, Michigan, and Ohio. New England remains loyal to
Speaker 1: its local breweries, which Samuel Adams being favorite in states
Speaker 1: like Massachusetts and Maine. So Pennsylvania, you would think would
Speaker 1: be yigling, right, Yeah, Nope, incorrect.
Speaker 4: Don't you dare say Iron City, Pennsylvania, Corona Light Corona.
Speaker 4: That makes perfect sense because tacos from Pennsylvania are amazing.
Speaker 4: Have you never had a Pittsburgh taco? I mean, my gosh,
Speaker 4: it's like you're practically in Mexico.
Speaker 1: City, Texas, Dos Ekes, Louisiana, Uh, Corona, Missouri, Yingling California, Modelo.
Speaker 1: What about New York Corona.
Speaker 4: Just stop throw the story. Just throw it away. I'm
Speaker 4: just saying, Missouri, Yeah they can now they just opened
Speaker 4: up and distributor there. Yeah, so distribution there.
Speaker 1: It's one of these stupid, these stupid, stupid stories that
Speaker 1: we get every now and then. According to some whoever
Speaker 1: put the study out, is like, this is the most
Speaker 1: popular beers per state according to Google trends.
Speaker 4: Dude, that survey that you did of things you can't
Speaker 4: say no to? Mushroom ravioli. Yeah, you know, things I've
Speaker 4: thought of my whole life. It's you know, you know,
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, spending some quiet time alone,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm talking about with my wife having
Speaker 4: a beer, slice of pizza, a taco and mushroom rally Olie. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know what, We're gonna create our own survey. Bill
Speaker 4: and I when we get off air here in a
Speaker 4: few minutes, Bill and I gonna say, now, we're gonna
Speaker 4: create our own survey, and we're gonna say from it's
Speaker 4: from some the Technical University of Munich because and that's
Speaker 4: where we attended. And Timmy approve this their mascot, all right,
Speaker 4: you know what, and people are gonna believe us too.
Speaker 4: You know why, I'll tell you why, because non alcoholic
Speaker 4: drinks are on the rise, and everybody's gonna think we
Speaker 4: were drinking non alcoholic beer because we do a show
Speaker 4: about beer, and clearly non alcoholic beers are the way
Speaker 4: to go. By the way, if you have thoughts about this,
Speaker 4: feel free to reach out to us on our social Instagram, x,
Speaker 4: Facebook at What's on Tap Radio, send us an email
Speaker 4: What's on Tap Radio at email dot com.
Speaker 1: But I have I've got a.
Speaker 4: Little bit of problem with something. I always wondered why
Speaker 4: alcoholic beers cost as much as or sorry, non alcoholic
Speaker 4: beers cost as much as alcoholic beers. I feel like
Speaker 4: there's something missing. Yeah, maybe, yeah, and maybe it should
Speaker 4: be a little less. But then I was like, clearly,
Speaker 4: non alcoholic cocktails, there's no way, because a margin on
Speaker 4: liquor is so much higher. There's no way non alcoholic
Speaker 4: cocktails cost as much as alcoholic cocktails. They do. And
Speaker 4: oh yeah, there is math behind this. The price tag
Speaker 4: of a quote unquote zero proof drink turns out that
Speaker 4: finding ingredients that mimic the actual alcoholic drink to make
Speaker 4: the mouth feel the same, the taste the same, to
Speaker 4: create the essence of the drink. The ingredients are harder
Speaker 4: to fine, harder to source, the technique for making it,
Speaker 4: and the labor involved, and the quality of juices and
Speaker 4: fruits which tend to spoil and you can't hold them
Speaker 4: for very long. All go into this and it's essentially
Speaker 4: the same process, only they're keeping the spirits out. And
Speaker 4: also how do you find spirits and find a combination
Speaker 4: of ingredients that taste like the real thing but contain
Speaker 4: none of the alcohol. And that is why you're paying seven, eight, nine,
Speaker 4: fourteen or eighteen dollars for non alcoholic spirits. And so
Speaker 4: lots of research has gone into this, and people have said,
Speaker 4: why aren't they less expensive? The answer is because we
Speaker 4: can charge whatever we want. Reminds me of a story
Speaker 4: of Ballast Point. Whenever they were out there and they
Speaker 4: were sixteen dollars for a six pack and everybody else
Speaker 4: was eight dollars. It was like, why is ballast Point
Speaker 4: so much more? When I talk to the rep from
Speaker 4: Ballast Point at the time, he said, because we can
Speaker 4: charge it and get it. And I think that's what's
Speaker 4: gonna happen. And as a reminder, folks, you heard it
Speaker 4: here first on What's on Tap Radio, I Chad the
Speaker 4: beer logic guy said, the next bubble to burst will
Speaker 4: be the non alcoholic beer bubble. We'll see people are
Speaker 4: gonna people are going back.
Speaker 1: Hey, by the way, speaking of ballast point, Uh, how's
Speaker 1: ballast point doing right now? Who?
Speaker 4: I went to the store to buy some ballast point
Speaker 4: about five years ago and I found it.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it since what about five minutes ago?
Speaker 1: Not there?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Hey, you know what, you're not your
Speaker 4: twelve dollars non alcoholic martini. I hope you make a
Speaker 4: million dollars with that idea. All right, James, bring us
Speaker 4: home with a feel good story where I'm not paying
Speaker 4: full price for non alcoholic beverages.
Speaker 1: This night might not be a feel good story for
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs fans, who saw a very disappointing season
Speaker 1: for the However, it was a very nice ending for
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs, especially for those out in the left
Speaker 1: field because the show appreciation for the Cubs. Faithful left
Speaker 1: fielder Ian Happ chucked a ball wrapped with one hundred
Speaker 1: dollars bills to the left field stands on Sunday. The
Speaker 1: gesture marked the team's final game of the season, which
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Reds actually took them out three to nothing
Speaker 1: over Chicago. But Hap has been with the Cubs since
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen has been keen to share his love of
Speaker 1: the fans during the stint of the Winny City and
Speaker 1: last year, the two time Gold Glove winner tossed a
Speaker 1: ball wrapped in money to the to a Cubs super fan.
Speaker 1: And on this ball he threw to a fan, they
Speaker 1: pulled this up. I thought it was very cool. It
Speaker 1: says thanks for the support all season, beers for the
Speaker 1: left field crew on me, and on the ball was
Speaker 1: a yeah, look was about three hundred dollars, and so
Speaker 1: he the whole left field crew around the beers. And
Speaker 1: I thought that.
Speaker 4: Three hundred dollars that bought like what eight people of beer?
Speaker 1: No word if they turned into a giant snake, you know,
Speaker 1: how like to do that at Wrigley feel I thought
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. I like I and half he's
Speaker 1: a he's a great player, but that nice jet.
