00:00:11.044 --> 00:00:18.670
<v Greg>Craft beer radio episode one million in binary on August 25th, 2023.

00:00:20.492 --> 00:00:21.352
<v Shannon>I'm Shannon.

00:00:21.933 --> 00:00:22.633
<v Jeff>I'm Jeff.

00:00:23.114 --> 00:00:23.954
<v Greg>Hi, I'm Greg.

00:00:25.595 --> 00:00:29.978
<v Jeff>We got Shannon's newest boyfriend on the music right there.

00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:37.743
<v Jeff>That's Noah Kahn. She can't stop listening to him. So figured we'd let the show play him in.

00:00:38.464 --> 00:00:43.387
<v Jeff>Tonight we have some more beers from the trip and let's do some stuff from Noah Kahn's home state.

00:00:43.387 --> 00:00:47.670
<v Greg>Woo-hoo!

00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:49.350
<v Jeff>So we will do his.

00:00:52.032 --> 00:00:58.697
<v Greg>We're back on mics, non-lav mics now, because we feel like the audio suffered

00:00:58.697 --> 00:01:00.718
<v Greg>a bit when we were trying to do the lav mics.

00:01:00.929 --> 00:01:06.623
<v Jeff>Yeah, I spent some time, I tried like three different settings in a Phonic and

00:01:06.623 --> 00:01:09.165
<v Jeff>it just couldn't tease out a good sound.

00:01:09.165 --> 00:01:15.090
<v Jeff>So back to the table mounted mics, and then we'll decide whether we all get

00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:18.192
<v Jeff>the nice Shure, what are those, SM85s or something like that?

00:01:18.472 --> 00:01:24.076
<v Greg>This is an M7. And so it's cheaper than the SM-85. So you gotta be a little bit closer to it.

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.543
<v Greg>But it's, I think the SM-85 is just something like 400 and this was something like 250 or so. Okay.

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:39.882
<v Greg>So, I mean, listen to that range, that dynamic range is fantastic.

00:01:40.482 --> 00:01:49.189
<v Greg>It's wonderful at like picking up the parts of speech and not getting confused by other noises.

00:01:49.770 --> 00:01:55.554
<v Greg>So it is a great microphone. I use it for when I'm doing teleconferencing at home.

00:02:00.569 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Jeff>So, yeah, very nice. Trying to make sure they don't have any stratification.

00:02:04.101 --> 00:02:05.462
<v Greg>This beer you're pouring, by the

00:02:05.462 --> 00:02:13.287
<v Greg>way, is Arthur, farmstead ale from Hill Farmstead, 6% alcohol by volume.

00:02:14.728 --> 00:02:22.192
<v Greg>It is American malted barley is the pure malt. It is their copyrighted farmstead ale yeast.

00:02:24.554 --> 00:02:32.259
<v Greg>And they age these in foders, which are those gigantic oak, they're like barrels, but huge.

00:02:33.339 --> 00:02:35.701
<v Jeff>Tanks. Large wooden tanks.

00:02:39.044 --> 00:02:42.126
<v Jeff>Yeah, Greg nailed it. We picked this up when we were up there on the trip.

00:02:43.367 --> 00:02:45.889
<v Jeff>And it smells delicious. What is it though?

00:02:46.730 --> 00:02:49.152
<v Greg>It's got a straw color. I think you may have mentioned that,

00:02:49.152 --> 00:02:56.818
<v Greg>I forget. But it's not, it's very, it's transparent otherwise.

00:02:56.818 --> 00:02:59.600
<v Greg>It's not like translucent. You can see through it. It's not that easy.

00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:05.825
<v Jeff>It's not crystal clear, but it's giving us a pretty, yeah, and there's just

00:03:05.825 --> 00:03:07.906
<v Jeff>like a slight protein haze or something on it.

00:03:08.108 --> 00:03:11.329
<v Greg>So I'm getting definitely a citrus thing coming off of this.

00:03:14.212 --> 00:03:19.276
<v Greg>I almost want to say yuzu, which is a Japanese citrus that's kind of a cross

00:03:19.276 --> 00:03:20.317
<v Greg>between a lemon and a lime.

00:03:20.957 --> 00:03:21.978
<v Shannon>I've never heard of it.

00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:25.581
<v Jeff>I've heard of it. I don't think I've had the opportunity to try.

00:03:26.262 --> 00:03:32.506
<v Greg>If you ever had a ponzu sauce, that's a soy sauce with yuzu juice in it.

00:03:32.506 --> 00:03:37.750
<v Greg>Okay. And soy and citrus, they go really well together.

00:03:39.232 --> 00:03:43.134
<v Jeff>Yeah, so there is that fruit up front and it's kind of backed up by a kind of

00:03:43.134 --> 00:03:51.041
<v Jeff>a bit of grass-like aroma, straw, barley malt kind of combination in there.

00:03:51.041 --> 00:03:56.925
<v Jeff>You know, it all fits into the feel of the name farmstead ale and farmstead,

00:03:56.925 --> 00:03:59.227
<v Jeff>you know, it has a kind of a rusticness to it.

00:03:59.747 --> 00:04:03.970
<v Jeff>It's not funky smelling or anything like that, but there is a bit of rusticness.

00:04:04.290 --> 00:04:08.613
<v Jeff>So like, how do you define the difference in the two? I guess just orders of

00:04:08.613 --> 00:04:16.269
<v Jeff>degree. It's just barely a little bit, uh, you know, um, don't shake it around too much.

00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.962
<v Greg>I assume these, these are, these are oak voters. Cause I'm, I'm smelling some

00:04:19.962 --> 00:04:25.267
<v Greg>oak or at least some, some like vanilla like stuff that reminds me of old wood.

00:04:25.267 --> 00:04:32.993
<v Jeff>Okay. Yeah, I think, I mean, they do do some IPAs, but practically everything

00:04:32.993 --> 00:04:35.716
<v Jeff>else seems to go through wood there, so.

00:04:42.280 --> 00:04:45.802
<v Jeff>Okay, getting a little bit of tartness on the nose as it now it's warmed a little

00:04:45.802 --> 00:04:51.326
<v Jeff>bit and reminded me like the kind of tartness you almost get from like a Lindemans

00:04:51.326 --> 00:04:53.708
<v Jeff>or something like that where it's kind of surrounded by something sweeter.

00:04:55.370 --> 00:05:00.203
<v Greg>I had to After a first sip take another sip because I just we just drank a little

00:05:00.203 --> 00:05:05.177
<v Greg>bit of coffee before so my mouth was still in like a bitter stage and then getting

00:05:05.177 --> 00:05:10.481
<v Greg>a Charge of sour from this even though it's not particularly sour it tasted

00:05:10.481 --> 00:05:13.083
<v Greg>extraordinarily sour just right that first sip.

00:05:13.083 --> 00:05:18.987
<v Greg>So I had to give another sip to clear that off.

00:05:23.491 --> 00:05:27.934
<v Jeff>Yeah, there's a fair amount of tang there. The nose was hiding it until the very end.

00:05:30.616 --> 00:05:35.400
<v Jeff>So it's funkier than a Saison for people who are looking for those mile markers

00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:36.581
<v Jeff>of where we're churning.

00:05:38.743 --> 00:05:42.945
<v Jeff>Uh, not quite lambic, but kind of a blend between the two.

00:05:43.406 --> 00:05:48.009
<v Jeff>There's definitely a real funk in there, but it's quick kind of goes on my palate.

00:05:48.009 --> 00:05:51.011
<v Jeff>It's going on quickly. Yeah.

00:05:51.011 --> 00:05:57.756
<v Greg>It's got, I liked the idea of midway between like a, a lambic or,

00:05:57.756 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Greg>or, or, you know, a really soured farmhouse and like a saison where there's

00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:04.662
<v Greg>just, it's just sort of dusty.

00:06:04.662 --> 00:06:14.380
<v Greg>Uh, And so this is kind of, yeah, this is a really interesting place for a beer to sit.

00:06:16.340 --> 00:06:24.346
<v Greg>I'm not sure I've had many that like are this in the middle between styles. Yeah.

00:06:24.346 --> 00:06:28.789
<v Jeff>No, I agree. It's, you know, it's not something you get a ton of.

00:06:31.011 --> 00:06:34.193
<v Jeff>I'm just trying to think. I'm not getting to my point quickly,

00:06:34.193 --> 00:06:37.175
<v Jeff>but it, I mean,

00:06:37.175 --> 00:06:43.359
<v Jeff>you do find some sours that are on the smaller side, like sour wise,

00:06:43.359 --> 00:06:50.374
<v Jeff>like this one, But it's harder these days because all of the smaller sours are

00:06:50.374 --> 00:06:52.086
<v Jeff>typically not this kind of sour, right?

00:06:52.086 --> 00:06:57.449
<v Jeff>They're typically quick sours, like gozes and filet nervices, things like that.

00:06:58.410 --> 00:07:05.115
<v Greg>Now, I love, I love a wonderful sour that has tons of stuff going on.

00:07:05.575 --> 00:07:12.320
<v Greg>And I really am a huge fan of a saison that's dusty and has all this stuff going on. going on.

00:07:13.321 --> 00:07:18.245
<v Greg>And while this is novel, and I think it's really good and a really good drinker

00:07:18.245 --> 00:07:23.649
<v Greg>for it is, there's also because of what it's doing, I feel like it doesn't have

00:07:23.649 --> 00:07:26.791
<v Greg>that complexity of sour and it doesn't have that complexity of saisonness.

00:07:27.191 --> 00:07:29.673
<v Greg>So it's kind of in a weird spot.

00:07:31.335 --> 00:07:36.418
<v Jeff>It's, I hear ya, I hear ya. And a lot of the time recently on this show,

00:07:36.418 --> 00:07:41.102
<v Jeff>the good passive drinkers get overanalyzed and under like, like,

00:07:41.102 --> 00:07:43.463
<v Jeff>oh, and I wonder if that's something here.

00:07:43.463 --> 00:07:49.107
<v Jeff>Cause I think this is like a new cat, like a category I don't consider of like drinkable sour, right?

00:07:49.447 --> 00:07:55.871
<v Shannon>You know, my description was, it's very drinkable, but it's a lot harder to make than a gose.

00:07:55.871 --> 00:08:02.356
<v Greg>Yeah, absolutely. So you're not going to see a bunch of these on, on the shelves.

00:08:02.796 --> 00:08:05.158
<v Jeff>This the Arthur from Hill farmstead?

00:08:08.320 --> 00:08:15.682
<v Greg>Yeah, it's a weird question because I think that's probably why new styles become created, right?

00:08:15.682 --> 00:08:21.083
<v Greg>Because suddenly there's some beers that are trying to compete in things where

00:08:21.083 --> 00:08:28.045
<v Greg>you just have to, you can't use the same judging criteria that you would have years before.

00:08:28.985 --> 00:08:31.286
<v Greg>So I'm, yeah, I'm very.

00:08:33.268 --> 00:08:39.133
<v Greg>I'm torn because I think I really do like it, but I'm also having trouble finding

00:08:39.133 --> 00:08:43.056
<v Greg>those things that I eat that I really like about both sides of where it's,

00:08:43.056 --> 00:08:44.978
<v Greg>where it's in the middle of.

00:08:44.978 --> 00:08:48.180
<v Jeff>All right. This was bottled last June.

00:08:49.001 --> 00:08:55.605
<v Jeff>I was curious because some of the flavors are kind of citrusy hop flavors.

00:08:58.528 --> 00:09:03.652
<v Jeff>And I was wondering if they were, uh, you know, from the hopping or whatnot.

00:09:03.652 --> 00:09:08.576
<v Jeff>Now with that much age on it, it'd be unusual, be fresh hopped flavor.

00:09:08.576 --> 00:09:14.641
<v Jeff>Right. But also, you know, like lambics and stuff use old hops and,

00:09:14.641 --> 00:09:19.024
<v Jeff>you know, some loggers and things use first ward hopping, you know,

00:09:19.024 --> 00:09:23.147
<v Jeff>which is putting it in before the boil, but some magic causes the hop flavor

00:09:23.147 --> 00:09:25.029
<v Jeff>and aroma to still be there at the end, you know?

00:09:26.550 --> 00:09:27.691
<v Greg>Um, water is a solvent.

00:09:28.772 --> 00:09:34.215
<v Jeff>I think it's more of the Hopscotch. Last I checked, the last time I researched

00:09:34.215 --> 00:09:35.916
<v Jeff>it, science didn't have a good answer.

00:09:36.237 --> 00:09:40.399
<v Jeff>And I know we talked about it before and I'm guessing that I remember having

00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.201
<v Jeff>a conversation online with some speculation of how things happen.

00:09:43.201 --> 00:09:48.865
<v Jeff>But and we talked about it with, remember Horst, that German guy on the beer trip that we were on?

00:09:48.865 --> 00:09:52.767
<v Greg>I mean, I remember talking to him about actually, I talked to him about photolysis.

00:09:54.248 --> 00:09:55.650
<v Greg>what I was interested in.

00:09:57.662 --> 00:10:01.974
<v Greg>Um, but I don't, yeah, but I do remember talking about stuff like other stuff.

00:10:01.974 --> 00:10:08.560
<v Jeff>So I almost wonder, or, you know, I have less want to prescribe how they made

00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:13.343
<v Jeff>the beer and then like more of like, I've had beers where I've gotten flavors

00:10:13.343 --> 00:10:16.005
<v Jeff>like this from things like first, first word hopping, I guess.

00:10:16.005 --> 00:10:18.647
<v Jeff>So it's a suspect of how they got here with this.

00:10:19.728 --> 00:10:22.771
<v Greg>They do say American and European hops on here. They don't mention which hops

00:10:22.771 --> 00:10:25.333
<v Greg>there are. Shannon, what do you think? What's your opinion on this one?

00:10:25.333 --> 00:10:31.277
<v Shannon>I really enjoy it, but it's just a very drinkable, subtle, sour, in my opinion.

00:10:31.277 --> 00:10:40.885
<v Shannon>There's not a lot of complexity to it. So, I mean, I don't know. I really like it, but.

00:10:41.665 --> 00:10:42.746
<v Greg>I think we're in the same boat.

00:10:42.746 --> 00:10:45.248
<v Shannon>Going to be, I mean, it's up against.

00:10:45.708 --> 00:10:46.989
<v Jeff>It's hard to wax poetic about.

00:10:46.989 --> 00:10:47.750
<v Greg>Yeah.

00:10:47.750 --> 00:10:48.510
<v Shannon>Yeah.

00:10:48.510 --> 00:10:52.342
<v Greg>It's like, this is good. There's a lot of stuff in here I like.

00:10:53.093 --> 00:10:54.373
<v Greg>I'd like to drink this a lot.

00:10:55.674 --> 00:10:57.215
<v Greg>What else can I say about it though?

00:10:58.215 --> 00:11:02.177
<v Jeff>I'm with you. I think we've pretty much exhausted it. So, what topics do you

00:11:02.177 --> 00:11:03.938
<v Jeff>got on your notepad over there?

00:11:07.158 --> 00:11:11.221
<v Greg>Um So I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3.

00:11:11.221 --> 00:11:18.226
<v Greg>Okay. I just kind of started it's There's a lot to it.

00:11:18.226 --> 00:11:26.412
<v Greg>It's a Dungeons & Dragons game and being sorry Didn't turn my notifications

00:11:26.412 --> 00:11:31.056
<v Greg>off on my watch This is what you're just need to let your watch battery down like mine.

00:11:31.056 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Greg>Mine won't make any sounds I think you also won't be able to find your phone

00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:37.310
<v Greg>with your watch way Yeah,

00:11:37.310 --> 00:11:39.962
<v Greg>that's true that that's one of the

00:11:39.962 --> 00:11:46.407
<v Greg>things I do like about these is like I Wonder if we're gonna do and catch those

00:11:46.407 --> 00:11:54.693
<v Greg>noises It's the thing where we forget that we're using an AI to yeah So one

00:11:54.693 --> 00:11:57.435
<v Greg>of your favorite features on your watch is the find my phone Yeah,

00:11:57.435 --> 00:12:00.778
<v Greg>I showed my mother that when we were on We were at the cape,

00:12:00.778 --> 00:12:02.319
<v Greg>but she had no idea that existed.

00:12:02.319 --> 00:12:06.382
<v Greg>And I was like, yeah, you should do this all the time. I use it all the time.

00:12:07.303 --> 00:12:11.386
<v Jeff>I don't even try to remember where my phone is. It's like, it's one of those

00:12:11.386 --> 00:12:12.407
<v Jeff>skills that you're going to

00:12:12.407 --> 00:12:16.370
<v Jeff>lose. Like, because like remembering phone numbers, don't have to do it.

00:12:17.231 --> 00:12:20.353
<v Jeff>Putting down your phone and trying, having to remember where you put it,

00:12:20.353 --> 00:12:23.636
<v Jeff>not a valuable skill anymore. Not your watches then.

00:12:23.636 --> 00:12:25.918
<v Shannon>You just have to figure out a way to do that with your keys. Yeah.

00:12:25.918 --> 00:12:30.181
<v Jeff>And it's one of those things where your eyes will completely miss it,

00:12:30.181 --> 00:12:33.123
<v Jeff>even though you're looking like right in the area where it's at,

00:12:33.123 --> 00:12:37.686
<v Jeff>just because it's an inconspicuous thing that you always expect to see anyway,

00:12:37.686 --> 00:12:40.508
<v Jeff>so your brain just sort of ignores it, even though it's right there.

00:12:41.209 --> 00:12:42.990
<v Jeff>Stupid brain, don't ignore it this time.

00:12:43.060 --> 00:12:51.656
<v Greg>You know, we grew up to, we evolved to not have to worry about little plastic and glass squares.

00:12:53.238 --> 00:12:56.422
<v Greg>So our brain is not yet to the point where these matter.

00:12:57.563 --> 00:13:01.057
<v Jeff>All right, Baldur's Gate 3, it's a D&D type game.

00:13:01.057 --> 00:13:01.357
<v Greg>And,

00:13:04.644 --> 00:13:10.408
<v Greg>Sort of a top-down game so or like, you know, Diablo like so you're clicking

00:13:10.408 --> 00:13:13.571
<v Greg>to move your guys around It's really deep.

00:13:13.571 --> 00:13:19.168
<v Greg>It has a lot of different for different classes you can play and then different

00:13:19.168 --> 00:13:22.126
<v Greg>Role-playing opportunities you have and different apparently passing me and

00:13:22.126 --> 00:13:24.099
<v Greg>I haven't really read any spoilers about it.

00:13:24.099 --> 00:13:28.142
<v Greg>I haven't gotten very far but It's complex

00:13:28.142 --> 00:13:32.385
<v Greg>and it's it's a lot so I'm kind of going slow because

00:13:32.385 --> 00:13:34.967
<v Greg>I do feel like it's one of those games sort of

00:13:34.967 --> 00:13:38.129
<v Greg>like I don't if you ever played old civilization games

00:13:38.129 --> 00:13:40.871
<v Greg>but you can get lost in them you weren't where you

00:13:40.871 --> 00:13:47.089
<v Greg>you start playing at five and it's one more turn it's one in the morning and

00:13:47.089 --> 00:13:53.801
<v Greg>just just one more time so I'm trying to go slower and just like take my time

00:13:53.801 --> 00:13:58.925
<v Greg>with it I'm also trying to play it with okay what would my character do in this situation,

00:13:58.925 --> 00:14:02.888
<v Greg>as opposed to what's the best outcome in the game for me?

00:14:03.749 --> 00:14:06.691
<v Greg>Just to see what will happen if I play it, because it's D&D.

00:14:06.691 --> 00:14:11.935
<v Greg>I feel like you the best way to play D&D is to really embrace not what do you

00:14:11.935 --> 00:14:16.398
<v Greg>feel is the best way to get all the gold or whatever, but the best way to play

00:14:16.398 --> 00:14:19.160
<v Greg>what your character would do.

00:14:20.101 --> 00:14:24.304
<v Greg>That's the that's the fun that I think you that's the most funny game in D&D.

00:14:24.344 --> 00:14:27.987
<v Greg>You can play it as a board game where you're trying to get points.

00:14:27.987 --> 00:14:30.608
<v Greg>and stuff like that, but that's not as fun to me.

00:14:30.969 --> 00:14:32.290
<v Jeff>What's your character's traits?

00:14:32.760 --> 00:14:41.576
<v Greg>So he is a wizard. He is pretty impressed with himself. He is,

00:14:41.576 --> 00:14:43.718
<v Greg>you know, kind of arrogant about his skill.

00:14:44.999 --> 00:14:52.634
<v Greg>And he also so he just got this message that indicates that he is on a that

00:14:52.634 --> 00:14:59.669
<v Greg>he's on some sort of like quest that and that he should use this power.

00:14:59.669 --> 00:15:07.115
<v Greg>He's been given a lot in order to master it, even though it feels like it's wrong, but.

00:15:09.645 --> 00:15:14.288
<v Greg>Everybody else apparently had the same dream with somebody telling them that.

00:15:15.049 --> 00:15:18.811
<v Greg>But my guy is totally I'm playing him like, oh, no, he believes it.

00:15:19.552 --> 00:15:23.115
<v Greg>He thought, oh, that sounds awesome. So I'm going to do this.

00:15:23.595 --> 00:15:26.697
<v Greg>Even everyone else is saying, no, that that's obviously a trick.

00:15:26.697 --> 00:15:29.299
<v Greg>OK, so we'll see where it goes.

00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:34.162
<v Jeff>That's that's interesting. Probably will sell you short a little bit down the road, I would think.

00:15:34.684 --> 00:15:39.827
<v Greg>Does again, it's a very replayable game. right? So I'm not that concerned if

00:15:39.827 --> 00:15:40.748
<v Greg>I make the wrong choices.

00:15:40.748 --> 00:15:44.450
<v Greg>I think that the fun of this game and in the stuff I was reading,

00:15:44.450 --> 00:15:47.532
<v Greg>the fun of the game is because I'm also talking to some other people who are

00:15:47.532 --> 00:15:50.535
<v Greg>playing it and they've all taken different paths.

00:15:52.176 --> 00:15:55.498
<v Greg>So the fun is afterward, you know, coming back and saying, well,

00:15:55.498 --> 00:15:58.080
<v Greg>what did you do this? Did you do that? Did you do that? Did you,

00:15:58.080 --> 00:15:59.461
<v Greg>how did you get past this?

00:15:59.802 --> 00:16:04.545
<v Greg>What did you experience? So, yeah. So Allie's been playing D and D online,

00:16:04.545 --> 00:16:07.220
<v Greg>like discord over discord or something playing dd but

00:16:07.220 --> 00:16:11.030
<v Greg>real on the board you know she she's

00:16:11.030 --> 00:16:13.912
<v Greg>a druid and but yeah

00:16:13.912 --> 00:16:16.694
<v Greg>she's kind of getting into it so it's it's fun and

00:16:16.694 --> 00:16:20.577
<v Greg>i think that it's it's a lot more culturally available now because there are

00:16:20.577 --> 00:16:27.902
<v Greg>so many like shows you can watch online of people playing dnd and so it demystifies

00:16:27.902 --> 00:16:31.325
<v Greg>a lot of it and also when you see people playing online they're playing like

00:16:31.325 --> 00:16:35.310
<v Greg>really excellent games with excellent DMs who are building great worlds.

00:16:38.615 --> 00:16:44.710
<v Greg>So you're unlikely to get that experience on just a random game you play with some friends, but,

00:16:47.082 --> 00:16:49.924
<v Greg>you can get some of it. I think it's like,

00:16:49.924 --> 00:16:56.639
<v Greg>I think an example would be if you watch some excellent improv people,

00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:03.313
<v Greg>you're going to get a maybe twisted example of what you might do in the first year of improv class.

00:17:03.313 --> 00:17:08.176
<v Greg>Okay. But you'll still have fun in your first year of improv class, I assume.

00:17:09.608 --> 00:17:14.581
<v Greg>But you won't be doing, you know, amazing scenes that, like, Big Granday can do.

00:17:14.581 --> 00:17:18.445
<v Jeff>Okay. Yeah. Um, what was I going to say?

00:17:18.445 --> 00:17:22.227
<v Jeff>What are you pouring? Oh, I'm calling an audible and changing our initial order

00:17:22.227 --> 00:17:28.592
<v Jeff>because the other Hill Farmstead is Anna and I think it's pretty much the same beer, but dry hopped.

00:17:28.592 --> 00:17:32.155
<v Jeff>So it was kind of tart. So I think instead of doubling up, let's do a palate

00:17:32.155 --> 00:17:34.617
<v Jeff>cleanser in between. So this is going to be...

00:17:34.617 --> 00:17:36.718
<v Greg>Shannon, have you ever played any D&D? No, I haven't.

00:17:38.800 --> 00:17:40.862
<v Greg>Are you curious at all about D&D?

00:17:42.063 --> 00:17:47.327
<v Shannon>I'm like, here's how I sure. Yeah.

00:17:47.327 --> 00:17:55.613
<v Greg>I mean, it's basically. Play acting with dice choosing the basic idea is play

00:17:55.613 --> 00:18:04.280
<v Greg>acting an adventure and then dice decide the randomness of your of of your actions working on.

00:18:04.280 --> 00:18:08.023
<v Greg>So, but somebody is is sort of in charge of the game. That's the game master

00:18:08.023 --> 00:18:09.604
<v Greg>and they and there are rules,

00:18:09.604 --> 00:18:14.948
<v Greg>although they're, they can be flexible and you're just sort of then,

00:18:14.948 --> 00:18:19.871
<v Greg>it's a sort of group adventure where everyone, things happen.

00:18:19.871 --> 00:18:24.155
<v Greg>And if the GM is really good or if the game is designed well,

00:18:24.155 --> 00:18:29.198
<v Greg>then the whole context can change just based on the actions or interactions

00:18:29.198 --> 00:18:34.002
<v Greg>that you have, but how successful you are is determined by, Bye dice.

00:18:38.455 --> 00:18:41.917
<v Greg>Luck. Luck. And in some cases also, though, if you're like really good at it,

00:18:41.917 --> 00:18:44.899
<v Greg>you can exploit the, so some of the rules to your advantage,

00:18:44.899 --> 00:18:48.682
<v Greg>you can like, cause you have a basic economy of resources.

00:18:48.962 --> 00:18:53.966
<v Greg>Let's say you have like on your turn, you can do an action, but you also have maybe a bonus action.

00:18:53.966 --> 00:18:56.788
<v Greg>And then maybe there's also something else you could do on your turn.

00:18:56.788 --> 00:19:01.381
<v Greg>If you have a particular class, um, or how fast, where you can move.

00:19:01.381 --> 00:19:05.187
<v Greg>And so there's lots of ways in which you can, if you're really good and you

00:19:05.187 --> 00:19:09.517
<v Greg>have a good understanding of the system, you can do more than if you're just a novice at it.

00:19:09.917 --> 00:19:13.890
<v Greg>But in general, yes, basically the luck of your dice versus,

00:19:13.890 --> 00:19:16.302
<v Greg>you know, how the DM is designed.

00:19:16.302 --> 00:19:19.704
<v Jeff>I've played a ton of video games where they're RPGs, right?

00:19:21.546 --> 00:19:25.228
<v Jeff>Never once have had the opportunity to play D&D. I mean, I probably have had

00:19:25.228 --> 00:19:27.650
<v Jeff>the opportunity. I probably could have said, Hey, Greg, next time you and Nick

00:19:27.650 --> 00:19:31.974
<v Jeff>are playing D&D, can I come? But, you know, it just hasn't fallen into my lap,

00:19:31.974 --> 00:19:34.716
<v Jeff>right? I haven't, I haven't wandered into a dungeon.

00:19:36.898 --> 00:19:40.380
<v Greg>Well, again, like your, like your daughter, you could find something online

00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:41.741
<v Greg>and just get into it that way.

00:19:41.741 --> 00:19:45.364
<v Greg>It's a, it would be probably a good way to just sort of jump in.

00:19:45.364 --> 00:19:49.047
<v Greg>Although a game like, you know, Baldur's Gate would be a good way too,

00:19:49.047 --> 00:19:51.589
<v Greg>I think, because it could get you an idea of the system, although it doesn't

00:19:51.589 --> 00:19:56.322
<v Greg>really handhold you through this. So you have to kind of figure it out if you

00:19:56.322 --> 00:19:58.514
<v Greg>don't know the rules to this is, I believe.

00:19:58.514 --> 00:20:02.617
<v Jeff>A period back in the day where I got pretty deep into a mud.

00:20:02.617 --> 00:20:06.700
<v Greg>Yeah. It's the same kind of thing. So what are we drinking?

00:20:07.061 --> 00:20:10.463
<v Jeff>This is dinner from Main Beer Company. It's their double IPA.

00:20:11.084 --> 00:20:12.665
<v Greg>That is a presumptuous name.

00:20:13.586 --> 00:20:18.089
<v Jeff>Well, their regular IPA is called lunch. So it builds upon that.

00:20:18.089 --> 00:20:21.611
<v Greg>That's right. We had that last time, didn't we?

00:20:21.611 --> 00:20:22.152
<v Jeff>We didn't know.

00:20:22.152 --> 00:20:24.684
<v Greg>But we have, we had something that was along the same lines.

00:20:24.684 --> 00:20:31.899
<v Jeff>We have breakfast or brunch or, or dinner or we only had, I only brought home

00:20:31.899 --> 00:20:33.740
<v Jeff>two beers for main, lunch and dinner.

00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:39.223
<v Jeff>And I don't know. I just decided we'd do dinner now because it's dinnertime.

00:20:39.223 --> 00:20:40.965
<v Greg>I feel like we did lunch before. Anyway.

00:20:40.965 --> 00:20:46.969
<v Jeff>Oh, we have. I mean, back in the day, we've half had it before because it was

00:20:46.969 --> 00:20:48.009
<v Jeff>available in Pittsburgh occasionally.

00:20:48.450 --> 00:20:52.272
<v Greg>No, I feel like, like literally, like, I don't know why I do them.

00:20:54.214 --> 00:20:55.414
<v Jeff>I promise you that we haven't.

00:20:55.414 --> 00:20:59.370
<v Greg>Okay. 8.2% on this double IPA, what do we think? No.

00:20:59.370 --> 00:21:03.959
<v Shannon>Nothing. Okay. I was saying we could check our index, but.

00:21:06.421 --> 00:21:09.722
<v Greg>That'll take time. Let's get this train chat GPT on us.

00:21:10.923 --> 00:21:13.965
<v Jeff>Yes. Big and orangey, orangey tangerine aroma.

00:21:16.763 --> 00:21:19.325
<v Greg>So, okay, um, guess the hops.

00:21:19.805 --> 00:21:21.226
<v Jeff>Guess the hops. Um...

00:21:21.226 --> 00:21:23.490
<v Greg>You wanna play too?

00:21:23.490 --> 00:21:25.189
<v Jeff>Well, let me...

00:21:25.189 --> 00:21:29.182
<v Greg>It's fun that even if you like... One of them is, is, is out there.

00:21:29.182 --> 00:21:30.793
<v Shannon>Really?

00:21:30.793 --> 00:21:34.455
<v Greg>Yeah. I think I've heard of it before. We've probably talked about it before,

00:21:34.455 --> 00:21:36.377
<v Greg>but it's, it's, it's out there. The name's out there.

00:21:38.058 --> 00:21:44.042
<v Jeff>Let's go with with mosaic and mendurina brevaria.

00:21:44.763 --> 00:21:46.904
<v Greg>Okay, there are four.

00:21:46.904 --> 00:21:52.209
<v Shannon>You stole my, I was gonna say mosaic. Okay.

00:21:52.209 --> 00:21:54.350
<v Jeff>Four, so I would throw in some.

00:21:54.350 --> 00:21:57.312
<v Shannon>Galaxy.

00:21:57.312 --> 00:22:05.238
<v Jeff>I'd throw in centennial. Ooh. And, or maybe cascade, maybe cascade.

00:22:07.020 --> 00:22:14.045
<v Greg>Any other guesses? No, I like On the room I can totally smell it so really,

00:22:22.051 --> 00:22:27.094
<v Greg>mm-hmm So the answer is you got to write mosaic and Simcoe the Seahawk is actually

00:22:27.094 --> 00:22:30.497
<v Greg>Citra Okay, and the one that's out.

00:22:30.497 --> 00:22:32.298
<v Jeff>There is Falconers flight, okay Wow.

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:35.400
<v Greg>Yeah, isn't that wild?

00:22:38.823 --> 00:22:41.805
<v Greg>Falconer's Flight. Like I said, I've heard of it, but I don't know.

00:22:42.266 --> 00:22:48.670
<v Jeff>I think it's a New Zealand hop. It's one of two things. It's either a new New

00:22:48.670 --> 00:22:50.551
<v Jeff>Zealand hop, or it's an ancient English hop.

00:22:52.773 --> 00:22:53.713
<v Shannon>It's foreign to me.

00:22:55.695 --> 00:22:58.877
<v Greg>It's a proprietary blend of Pacific Northwest hops.

00:22:58.877 --> 00:23:00.338
<v Jeff>Oh, F.

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:06.082
<v Greg>Okay, it includes the seven sea hops, Cascades, Centennial, Chinook,

00:23:06.082 --> 00:23:10.405
<v Greg>Citra, Cluster, Columbus, and Crystal. So you were kind of right all along.

00:23:10.946 --> 00:23:12.967
<v Jeff>Yes, except for what I thought Falconer's Flight was.

00:23:14.989 --> 00:23:18.051
<v Jeff>I guess two regions that were absolutely not there. So yay, me.

00:23:19.952 --> 00:23:25.576
<v Greg>In addition to experimental variety developed by Hop Union, not Hop Steiner.

00:23:28.679 --> 00:23:33.181
<v Jeff>Who Greg down in New Zealand uses hop Steiner. I think he thought we were like

00:23:33.181 --> 00:23:38.443
<v Jeff>joking that it was a fictitious ... Oh, I kind of was, so he nailed it. Oh, okay.

00:23:40.764 --> 00:23:42.706
<v Greg>Greg, or Greg if you're nasty.

00:23:44.407 --> 00:23:48.390
<v Jeff>I like this. This is kind of old school, but still not bitter.

00:23:48.390 --> 00:23:54.794
<v Jeff>It has those big, dense, West Coast, juicy hop flavors that you'd get back in the day.

00:23:55.415 --> 00:24:00.909
<v Jeff>Usually accompanied by a teeth stripping, enamel eating, bracing bitterness.

00:24:01.379 --> 00:24:03.660
<v Jeff>But this doesn't have it. So I'm enjoying.

00:24:04.201 --> 00:24:08.464
<v Jeff>Or is it there? And is my palate just changed so much that I don't taste bitter anymore?

00:24:08.885 --> 00:24:10.145
<v Shannon>No, I don't taste any bitter.

00:24:11.667 --> 00:24:16.871
<v Greg>It's using its hops well. It's still a little bit on the sulfur side because

00:24:16.871 --> 00:24:20.053
<v Greg>I think what it's missing is it's missing a deeper malt backbone.

00:24:20.474 --> 00:24:22.695
<v Greg>I would have appreciated a little bit more sweetness here.

00:24:23.416 --> 00:24:25.597
<v Jeff>I think it has it though. I'm getting...

00:24:27.159 --> 00:24:28.940
<v Greg>I want something a little bit more caramelly.

00:24:28.940 --> 00:24:30.321
<v Jeff>Okay.

00:24:30.321 --> 00:24:32.743
<v Greg>In this. I want something a little bit, yeah, just a little...

00:24:34.564 --> 00:24:36.107
<v Jeff>Oh, this mic's noisy.

00:24:36.107 --> 00:24:39.794
<v Shannon>Wow.

00:24:39.794 --> 00:24:41.257
<v Greg>Your mic is real noisy.

00:24:43.331 --> 00:24:44.271
<v Jeff>Shame on me.

00:24:44.271 --> 00:24:46.013
<v Greg>You got a nasty mic there.

00:24:46.013 --> 00:24:48.034
<v Shannon>We should clean it next time.

00:24:50.376 --> 00:24:56.220
<v Greg>Mm-hmm so The malts here are two row caramel 40 l carapils and dextrose.

00:25:00.004 --> 00:25:05.306
<v Greg>I'm Yeah, I think like they could have used I don't know I, you know, it's obvious.

00:25:09.551 --> 00:25:14.314
<v Greg>Oh, I would say just put Maris Otter in here, but I feel like you could have

00:25:14.314 --> 00:25:17.596
<v Greg>gotten something a little bit more caramelly. I think that might've stood up

00:25:17.596 --> 00:25:21.469
<v Greg>more here to get a little bit of the sulfury edge off. Okay.

00:25:21.469 --> 00:25:26.943
<v Jeff>I'm enjoying this. I think that it has for this kind of IPA,

00:25:26.943 --> 00:25:32.787
<v Jeff>the juicy resiny IPA, this one brings it for me. I'm really enjoying this.

00:25:32.787 --> 00:25:37.831
<v Greg>I appreciate that it's not a hazy. I totally am on board.

00:25:38.131 --> 00:25:42.174
<v Greg>It is a little hazy-ish, but it's not like, it's not a hazy.

00:25:42.174 --> 00:25:48.318
<v Jeff>It's not oats and wheat and kvick yeast.

00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.681
<v Greg>Yeah, I think the haze here is just, you know, proteins, something like that.

00:25:52.681 --> 00:25:58.314
<v Greg>It's not trying to be something. But yeah, it's pretty good.

00:26:02.087 --> 00:26:04.048
<v Shannon>For me, it's I can't drink it very fast.

00:26:05.499 --> 00:26:11.153
<v Greg>Well, I think it's the sulfury Yeah, it's it's also pretty high in alcohol.

00:26:11.153 --> 00:26:15.156
<v Greg>So I mean it's got it's got a lot going on So there's a lot of flavor that's

00:26:15.156 --> 00:26:21.421
<v Greg>hitting you with But it the nice thing is it really does not end bitter and

00:26:21.421 --> 00:26:26.614
<v Greg>and just like with that with a Just rip your face off bitterness,

00:26:26.614 --> 00:26:31.648
<v Greg>which I think Jeff you were talking about how that's That's old style crap that

00:26:31.648 --> 00:26:35.110
<v Greg>fortunately seems like we're done with.

00:26:35.151 --> 00:26:37.976
<v Jeff>Yeah. Unless you go by an arrogant bastard or something like that.

00:26:37.976 --> 00:26:42.828
<v Greg>Right. We should try again just to be like, wow, that is.

00:26:43.891 --> 00:26:45.812
<v Greg>What people loved 14 years ago?

00:26:45.812 --> 00:26:52.537
<v Jeff>Yeah Just because I think it's hilarious and Greg and I talked about this real

00:26:52.537 --> 00:26:54.619
<v Jeff>briefly before he's very grumpet. Ok, 99 is back Mm-hmm.

00:26:55.560 --> 00:26:58.862
<v Jeff>This is that superconductor that was a thing and everyone got excited about

00:26:58.862 --> 00:27:03.666
<v Jeff>it and then labs tried to reproduce it and just last week Literally last week.

00:27:03.666 --> 00:27:08.689
<v Jeff>We're like, uh, it it flashed out. It's nothing and then just today on Tom's

00:27:08.689 --> 00:27:12.792
<v Jeff>hardware. It's like it's back, baby Maybe there's a different manufacturing process.

00:27:14.454 --> 00:27:15.375
<v Jeff>They're using...

00:27:15.475 --> 00:27:17.176
<v Greg>Conveniently a lot more difficult than it was before.

00:27:17.176 --> 00:27:23.061
<v Jeff>Using a gas deposition kind of, a vapor deposition method. And then like,

00:27:23.061 --> 00:27:28.365
<v Jeff>silicon's involved now, which wasn't involved before. So, and a patent apparently

00:27:28.365 --> 00:27:30.326
<v Jeff>was updated. So, I don't know.

00:27:31.647 --> 00:27:34.109
<v Jeff>Maybe it'll change the world. I love it, I love that it's back.

00:27:34.670 --> 00:27:35.950
<v Jeff>And next week it'll be gone again.

00:27:36.211 --> 00:27:40.534
<v Greg>It feels like one of those things where, Oh no, we, we did it like just to try

00:27:40.534 --> 00:27:45.757
<v Greg>and delay more. It feels very cold fusion like, right? Where it's like, Oh no, no, no, no.

00:27:46.278 --> 00:27:48.499
<v Greg>We gave you the incorrect thing here.

00:27:49.120 --> 00:27:54.484
<v Greg>It's a lot harder to do it and everyone's going to try again and going to get the same things.

00:27:54.484 --> 00:28:00.428
<v Greg>And then they're just going to go on the like talk show market,

00:28:00.428 --> 00:28:03.950
<v Greg>you know, like the cold fusion guys did and just be like, no,

00:28:03.950 --> 00:28:09.174
<v Greg>no, it really did work. And it's just the science, the entire apparatus of science is keeping us down.

00:28:10.836 --> 00:28:14.338
<v Greg>Whereas as if, like if a company found cold fusion, they wouldn't be like,

00:28:14.338 --> 00:28:16.300
<v Greg>let's exploit this right away.

00:28:17.381 --> 00:28:22.865
<v Greg>Or, or a superconductor, like no one is trying to keep down something like this.

00:28:24.146 --> 00:28:30.770
<v Greg>This is important. People would be, people will happily pay money for the patent.

00:28:31.371 --> 00:28:35.334
<v Jeff>Yeah, let's get some more rinsey rinses here. So we don't bring the hop juice

00:28:35.334 --> 00:28:37.236
<v Jeff>along with the next ring to hop juice.

00:28:40.258 --> 00:28:45.002
<v Greg>So, let's see. I put so on our discord join our discord everybody.

00:28:45.002 --> 00:28:52.627
<v Greg>If you haven't yet, I put up some new some new channels a topic suggestions channel for stuff.

00:28:53.229 --> 00:28:56.071
<v Greg>You would like us to talk about a music suggestions channel.

00:28:56.071 --> 00:29:00.254
<v Greg>If you have any idea for intro music, there already is a recommendations the

00:29:00.254 --> 00:29:01.635
<v Greg>channel for beers and stuff like that.

00:29:03.036 --> 00:29:05.818
<v Greg>There's, like we said, what are you brewing? What are you drinking?

00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:10.782
<v Greg>If you want to inform everybody, is that some new thing you have or what you're

00:29:10.782 --> 00:29:13.864
<v Greg>tasting or whether it's good or bad, join in the conversation.

00:29:14.225 --> 00:29:19.349
<v Greg>And we'll probably at some point do like a live show that will stream on Discord

00:29:19.349 --> 00:29:22.912
<v Greg>and maybe invite people to come in and join in.

00:29:22.912 --> 00:29:23.633
<v Shannon>That would be fun.

00:29:23.805 --> 00:29:28.280
<v Jeff>Ooh, look at that cap. I'm not sure if Arthur had that cap, but Anna has a fancy one.

00:29:28.280 --> 00:29:32.066
<v Greg>So it's a cap with a little plastic kind of, how would you describe that?

00:29:33.394 --> 00:29:39.399
<v Greg>plumbus It's it's got a little Plastic ring in it.

00:29:39.399 --> 00:29:46.984
<v Shannon>It's hard It's it's not it's not it's not a silicone II type of it's not plucked or pliable at all.

00:29:46.984 --> 00:29:52.068
<v Jeff>It's very I Don't know what that it's designed to give it a better seal right?

00:29:52.068 --> 00:29:56.211
<v Greg>It's a it's a cork cap all-in-one I guess that that does make a little bit of

00:29:56.211 --> 00:29:59.873
<v Greg>sense looks Kind of like if you imagine a pizza,

00:29:59.873 --> 00:30:04.157
<v Greg>and you have a little plastic table in the middle Uh, this is a plastic ring,

00:30:04.157 --> 00:30:11.442
<v Greg>so it's hollow, but it's sort of in the middle of the, the, um, bottle cap.

00:30:12.283 --> 00:30:16.967
<v Greg>And I guess, yeah, the bottle would go around it and then this would still dip

00:30:16.967 --> 00:30:18.148
<v Greg>now into the bottle a bit.

00:30:18.148 --> 00:30:24.052
<v Greg>So maybe it helps keep oxygen out. Like you said, like, uh, so not even to like

00:30:24.052 --> 00:30:28.176
<v Greg>cork would allow oxygen through. This is more of a extra sealant.

00:30:28.176 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Jeff>Yeah. than just the the little gasket on the top of the cap. This is Anna.

00:30:36.301 --> 00:30:37.241
<v Shannon>This is either Anna.

00:30:37.582 --> 00:30:42.745
<v Jeff>I think Anna is a different grain bill than Arthur. And I don't know if Anna

00:30:42.745 --> 00:30:45.626
<v Jeff>is... Well, I mean, they just say American malted barley.

00:30:47.388 --> 00:30:52.251
<v Jeff>Is Anna always Motaweka dry hopped or is this a special Motaweka dry hopped?

00:30:52.251 --> 00:30:59.295
<v Greg>They say the same thing, European and American hops. They do add Vermont wildflower honey.

00:31:03.318 --> 00:31:07.400
<v Jeff>All right, so I presume this is a variant of Anna that is dry hopped with Motueka.

00:31:10.562 --> 00:31:13.944
<v Greg>Oh, so okay. So it's specially mentioned on the... Yeah, so it's right there.

00:31:13.944 --> 00:31:14.324
<v Jeff>Okay.

00:31:16.846 --> 00:31:21.689
<v Greg>Okay, I do see Anna Motueka on the side here. So I'll go to that one.

00:31:22.689 --> 00:31:27.312
<v Greg>Yeah, dry hop with Motueka hops grown by Freestyle Farms in Upper,

00:31:27.312 --> 00:31:33.716
<v Greg>Greg, don't throw me shade, Upper Motere, New Zealand?

00:31:33.716 --> 00:31:41.682
<v Greg>M-O-U-T-E-R-E? Upper Mutere? Upper Mutere? Upper Malter?

00:31:44.724 --> 00:31:47.987
<v Jeff>This has been the bottle conditioning since December 8th.

00:31:50.209 --> 00:31:51.269
<v Shannon>December 8th, 2022. Yep. 6.2%.

00:31:51.269 --> 00:31:52.390
<v Jeff>ABV. Okay.

00:31:52.390 --> 00:32:00.075
<v Greg>So other than that, I think it's, yeah, very, it's similar. It's a little, maybe, no.

00:32:00.336 --> 00:32:05.359
<v Greg>I think it's lighter than the, than Arthur. Yeah, I had my hand on it and I

00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:07.150
<v Greg>was like, Oh, it's darker. And then as soon as I moved my hand out,

00:32:07.150 --> 00:32:11.443
<v Greg>I was like, no, it's just reflecting my hand, but it may be a bit lighter.

00:32:12.805 --> 00:32:17.848
<v Greg>It's still a straw color. It had a significant foamy head when you poured it.

00:32:17.848 --> 00:32:19.729
<v Greg>It's gone down significantly since then.

00:32:24.352 --> 00:32:28.095
<v Jeff>The aroma is pretty tight right now. Like, it's not giving up a ton of things.

00:32:29.417 --> 00:32:32.799
<v Jeff>If, I want to say I can smell the honey, but if I wasn't just told there was

00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:34.720
<v Jeff>honey in it, I don't think I'd be there.

00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:38.063
<v Greg>Yeah, I think not smelling anything, I just sort of instinctively just went

00:32:38.063 --> 00:32:43.567
<v Greg>in for a sip. So, I won't talk about it until you've done your sips.

00:32:46.309 --> 00:32:51.412
<v Greg>But, interesting, I think. Definitely a very, you know, just a play on Arthur itself.

00:32:52.974 --> 00:32:57.377
<v Greg>a lot fuller, like the kind of similar flavor, but a lot fuller.

00:32:58.018 --> 00:33:02.741
<v Jeff>It's a big, it cuts the, the big thing up front that's in front of,

00:33:02.741 --> 00:33:07.225
<v Jeff>whether it's Arthur with more stuff or not, I don't know.

00:33:07.225 --> 00:33:10.527
<v Jeff>But the thing that I'm tasting that tastes like it's in front of Arthur is more

00:33:10.527 --> 00:33:14.270
<v Jeff>of like a grape flavor, like almost like a, a sweet green grape or something

00:33:14.270 --> 00:33:16.132
<v Jeff>like that with a little bit of tang to it.

00:33:16.553 --> 00:33:19.954
<v Jeff>It's the way it came across. It's from the honey and the dry hops and things,

00:33:19.954 --> 00:33:20.955
<v Jeff>but it came across crepey.

00:33:21.676 --> 00:33:24.317
<v Greg>And I'm getting some of the hops at the end.

00:33:29.561 --> 00:33:32.542
<v Greg>But Motuek is a weird one, because it's got that vanilla thing.

00:33:34.104 --> 00:33:41.548
<v Greg>So it's not like a. It's not a bitter hop, nor is it a tropical hop or a resny

00:33:41.548 --> 00:33:48.462
<v Greg>hop. It's a it's got this weird kind of stone fruit thing going on.

00:33:49.373 --> 00:33:56.379
<v Jeff>That's how it's coming across in this is some kind of under-ripe tart stone fruit.

00:33:56.379 --> 00:34:02.754
<v Jeff>Now the tart might all be coming from the proprietary yeast in the farmhouse,

00:34:02.754 --> 00:34:05.726
<v Jeff>rustic nature of the beer and whatnot.

00:34:08.109 --> 00:34:13.212
<v Jeff>The honey comes and goes. I thought I tasted it, like the mouthfeel from fermented

00:34:13.212 --> 00:34:16.334
<v Jeff>honey and stuff in the first taste and then second taste, I didn't really get it.

00:34:16.815 --> 00:34:24.080
<v Shannon>I'm not getting any honey, maybe it's, well, it's very hard to me.

00:34:26.362 --> 00:34:32.666
<v Greg>So the Anna talks about Vermont wildflower honey, the Anna Motueka doesn't say anything about honey.

00:34:32.666 --> 00:34:33.126
<v Jeff>Oh, okay.

00:34:34.668 --> 00:34:37.770
<v Greg>But that doesn't mean that it's, but I figured that since it's Anna,

00:34:37.770 --> 00:34:41.872
<v Greg>no, okay, nevermind. It does have the honey in there as an adjunct. Bye.

00:34:48.246 --> 00:34:51.008
<v Jeff>So, just another one that's not built for review on the show,

00:34:51.008 --> 00:34:53.870
<v Jeff>it seems. It's hard to be too super poetic about it.

00:34:53.870 --> 00:35:01.176
<v Greg>See, I think this one, the bigger, it's a bit bigger in a little...

00:35:01.697 --> 00:35:07.441
<v Shannon>It's more complex than Arthur, I think, but I don't, I'm not able to pull anything out in particular.

00:35:07.441 --> 00:35:10.963
<v Greg>Yeah, I don't know if it's necessarily more complex, but it's more, it's louder, right?

00:35:11.424 --> 00:35:12.625
<v Shannon>Okay, louder, yeah.

00:35:13.186 --> 00:35:16.208
<v Jeff>There's a lump on the tongue, like a lump of flavor, right, when you take a

00:35:16.208 --> 00:35:17.899
<v Jeff>sip and it kind of lands on your tongue.

00:35:20.131 --> 00:35:21.692
<v Shannon>But can you pinpoint what it is?

00:35:21.692 --> 00:35:25.475
<v Jeff>It's like a grapey thing for me. Just the grapey thing. The combination of everything

00:35:25.475 --> 00:35:29.998
<v Jeff>comes across as kind of like a macerated green grapey thing.

00:35:29.998 --> 00:35:31.299
<v Greg>I feel more plums.

00:35:32.941 --> 00:35:34.742
<v Jeff>I can get the plum, I think.

00:35:37.675 --> 00:35:42.168
<v Greg>But I guess they're kind of similar fruits in a lot of ways and taste if you really think about it.

00:35:43.449 --> 00:35:48.252
<v Greg>So plums can be a little bit deeper, but not necessarily compared to red grapes, not really.

00:35:49.163 --> 00:35:52.435
<v Greg>I mean, there's so many styles of grapes now. There are grapes that they have

00:35:52.435 --> 00:35:58.799
<v Greg>that taste like cotton candy. Cotton candy. Yeah, I mean like grapes are...

00:35:58.799 --> 00:36:00.020
<v Jeff>I bet you those make good wine.

00:36:01.932 --> 00:36:03.323
<v Shannon>It depends on the person.

00:36:03.323 --> 00:36:09.888
<v Greg>Maybe. I'm sure someone could do something with it to make a good wine.

00:36:10.348 --> 00:36:14.071
<v Greg>not like, I don't think a cotton candy wine would be great, but I think you

00:36:14.071 --> 00:36:20.136
<v Greg>could use that as a flavor to, and entice something out of it with the right

00:36:20.136 --> 00:36:21.496
<v Greg>yeast and the right aging.

00:36:26.161 --> 00:36:29.603
<v Greg>But yeah, wine that tastes like cotton candy does not feel like that's inspired,

00:36:29.603 --> 00:36:32.726
<v Greg>like an inspired creation. So to me...

00:36:32.726 --> 00:36:33.186
<v Shannon>Moscato.

00:36:33.186 --> 00:36:35.307
<v Jeff>I know a bunch of people who would drink it though.

00:36:35.808 --> 00:36:40.231
<v Greg>Oh, I can imagine it'd be real. be very popular with the kids.

00:36:43.074 --> 00:36:47.256
<v Jeff>Boone Farm cotton candy. Bartles and James.

00:36:51.240 --> 00:36:55.062
<v Greg>I'd take a shot of that at a bar. A shot of like a cotton candy.

00:36:55.062 --> 00:36:55.423
<v Shannon>Oh yeah.

00:36:55.423 --> 00:36:56.103
<v Greg>That'd be great.

00:36:56.103 --> 00:36:56.644
<v Shannon>Yeah.

00:36:57.825 --> 00:36:59.176
<v Greg>If you make it smooth.

00:36:59.787 --> 00:37:01.488
<v Shannon>What would you chase it with though?

00:37:02.589 --> 00:37:07.732
<v Greg>Probably like like a Dr. Pepper or something, some cherry thing.

00:37:09.154 --> 00:37:12.596
<v Jeff>I mentioned him last week. I am so in love with the How to Drink pod,

00:37:12.596 --> 00:37:15.339
<v Jeff>or YouTube channel, his name isn't Greg.

00:37:15.339 --> 00:37:18.941
<v Jeff>He's the guy who does a bunch of cocktails and things like that.

00:37:18.941 --> 00:37:22.344
<v Jeff>Oh, it's so good. Like you learn so much about how to make different drinks

00:37:22.344 --> 00:37:26.052
<v Jeff>and just your cocktail preparation techniques. But then he does a ton,

00:37:26.052 --> 00:37:30.741
<v Jeff>I mentioned last week, he does a ton of different genres of shows.

00:37:30.741 --> 00:37:31.943
<v Jeff>And some of them are just like, Um...

00:37:33.723 --> 00:37:39.708
<v Jeff>Customers who like bar tickets of like awful Special requests or like we watched

00:37:39.708 --> 00:37:43.410
<v Jeff>one last night of drinks from like colonial times and earlier,

00:37:43.410 --> 00:37:50.716
<v Jeff>you know there was a couple of things in there like the Ethan Allen is hard

00:37:50.716 --> 00:37:57.601
<v Jeff>cider and rum or no hard cider and bourbon and mint and And,

00:37:57.601 --> 00:38:01.463
<v Jeff>um, I was so mad because I had a can of cider here.

00:38:01.503 --> 00:38:04.985
<v Jeff>I had just drank a cider about 20 minutes before I watched that.

00:38:05.846 --> 00:38:07.448
<v Shannon>It was like... It was the only can.

00:38:07.448 --> 00:38:13.852
<v Jeff>It was like, son of a bitch. Fuck you, Greg. Why didn't you come on 20 minutes earlier?

00:38:16.114 --> 00:38:20.096
<v Jeff>But I really enjoy that show. Can't recommend it more. And it's...

00:38:20.096 --> 00:38:24.159
<v Jeff>Yeah, it's really fun to watch. It's... He... Yeah, everyone should give it

00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:25.240
<v Jeff>a try. It's How to Drink on YouTube.

00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:30.063
<v Greg>Reminds me that when I was in, oh, by the way, first of all,

00:38:30.063 --> 00:38:33.966
<v Greg>I'm looking at the other cap and you'll notice that it has the same thing,

00:38:33.966 --> 00:38:37.068
<v Greg>but just a lot more recessed.

00:38:37.728 --> 00:38:40.170
<v Jeff>This one's kind of a normal cap liner.

00:38:40.170 --> 00:38:45.533
<v Greg>I think that the thing that we're talking about is a much more embossed version

00:38:45.533 --> 00:38:47.114
<v Greg>of the standard cap liner.

00:38:48.956 --> 00:38:54.619
<v Greg>I just noticed that about a quarter of my eye. But in terms of YouTube channels,

00:38:54.619 --> 00:39:02.024
<v Greg>I was trying to explain to my parents at the house why they were doing their

00:39:02.024 --> 00:39:04.246
<v Greg>dishwasher slightly wrong.

00:39:04.246 --> 00:39:07.468
<v Greg>And they said, you know what? Let's just watch it. And I introduced them to

00:39:07.468 --> 00:39:09.436
<v Greg>the technology connection. We watched that and they were like,

00:39:09.436 --> 00:39:13.413
<v Greg>that's a great, that was great. Let me get to, you know, this guy is thinking,

00:39:13.413 --> 00:39:16.976
<v Greg>yeah, let's watch the toaster one after that. Yeah.

00:39:16.976 --> 00:39:18.796
<v Shannon>We're kind of addicted to that one too.

00:39:19.797 --> 00:39:23.400
<v Jeff>Yeah. down the rabbit hole six months ago or something on Technology Connections.

00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:25.742
<v Greg>He's just a, it's just a great show. The guy's name is Alec,

00:39:25.742 --> 00:39:30.926
<v Greg>Alec something. It, it, he just, it's really well done. He has a unique style

00:39:30.926 --> 00:39:35.910
<v Greg>that, that really works for him. Uh, and a sense of humor that also works for him.

00:39:35.910 --> 00:39:37.611
<v Shannon>I love his shirts too.

00:39:37.611 --> 00:39:41.884
<v Greg>Yeah. Yeah. But also in a way that doesn't feel like he's talking down to you

00:39:41.884 --> 00:39:46.098
<v Greg>when he's talking about subjects that are, They're relatively complex.

00:39:46.098 --> 00:39:52.382
<v Jeff>And he goes into every corner of a subject, especially like the CEDs,

00:39:52.382 --> 00:39:58.065
<v Jeff>where he did a five-episode series on the RCA capacitive electronic disc.

00:39:58.745 --> 00:40:01.125
<v Jeff>Shannon had a CED player when she was a kid.

00:40:01.125 --> 00:40:02.026
<v Shannon>Really? Yeah.

00:40:02.026 --> 00:40:06.307
<v Greg>That's pretty cool. I mean, just that you had one of those things.

00:40:06.307 --> 00:40:10.808
<v Greg>I remember I wanted an Intellivision or something like that.

00:40:11.829 --> 00:40:15.170
<v Greg>I remember seeing in the store, there is this thing that had.

00:40:17.139 --> 00:40:20.520
<v Greg>No, you know, it was a Philips thing. It was like a CD thing,

00:40:20.520 --> 00:40:24.999
<v Greg>but it had some Zelda games and it was before I even had a Nintendo but it was

00:40:24.999 --> 00:40:27.805
<v Greg>like I could play a Zelda game and it's barely there were terrible Zelda games,

00:40:27.805 --> 00:40:32.829
<v Greg>but I Remember wanting it in the store and then Frank forgetting about it and

00:40:32.829 --> 00:40:35.891
<v Greg>then seeing stuff later but how these were like the worst Zelda games the worst

00:40:35.891 --> 00:40:39.894
<v Greg>Zelda properties ever made and Nintendo doesn't even acknowledge it anymore

00:40:39.894 --> 00:40:47.439
<v Greg>The first video game console that I got was the Odyssey The odyssey,

00:40:47.439 --> 00:40:50.161
<v Greg>okay that I'm trying to

00:40:50.161 --> 00:40:57.907
<v Greg>remember which one that was cuz that's Wow Was that we go I think I don't know

00:40:57.907 --> 00:41:08.835
<v Greg>The odyssey and I was playing computer games well before Well before I got to I got a Nintendo Oh,

00:41:08.835 --> 00:41:11.517
<v Greg>Magnavox Odyssey.

00:41:11.778 --> 00:41:14.750
<v Shannon>There you go. Does it show a picture?

00:41:17.022 --> 00:41:17.982
<v Shannon>Yeah, it has a...

00:41:17.982 --> 00:41:19.123
<v Jeff>Yep, oh no. That is the clunkiest.

00:41:19.123 --> 00:41:20.644
<v Shannon>That's not the one that I had.

00:41:20.644 --> 00:41:21.745
<v Jeff>Oh no? No.

00:41:22.606 --> 00:41:23.867
<v Shannon>Oh, here's the one that I had.

00:41:26.049 --> 00:41:28.470
<v Greg>All right, she's showing us on a picture.

00:41:28.811 --> 00:41:29.932
<v Jeff>Looks like a speaking spell.

00:41:29.932 --> 00:41:33.975
<v Greg>Hmm.

00:41:33.975 --> 00:41:38.438
<v Jeff>I've, oops, sorry, microphone. I've seen this before, never played it, but I've seen it.

00:41:38.739 --> 00:41:42.301
<v Greg>I mean, I'm looking at the Wikipedia version and this looks like.

00:41:42.301 --> 00:41:43.122
<v Jeff>That's the one.

00:41:43.122 --> 00:41:47.005
<v Greg>Okay, so it has a little bit of a keyboard thingy on it. So it reminds me of

00:41:47.005 --> 00:41:49.867
<v Greg>like the first computer that I ever had was a TRS-80.

00:41:49.867 --> 00:41:58.653
<v Greg>Then I think a year or so after that, we got a window, not a window, way before windows.

00:41:58.653 --> 00:42:05.999
<v Greg>We got a IBM probably, it was a clone, IBM clones, it was four megahertz.

00:42:10.725 --> 00:42:14.487
<v Greg>And yeah, and we had a monitor that was a CGA monitor that you could change

00:42:14.487 --> 00:42:17.259
<v Greg>the color of the text with the button.

00:42:17.259 --> 00:42:17.772
<v Jeff>Ooh, that's great. My first computer was, what, three generations after yours.

00:42:17.772 --> 00:42:19.612
<v Jeff>It was the Candy Color Computer 3.

00:42:19.612 --> 00:42:19.912
<v Jeff>mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

00:42:33.390 --> 00:42:36.592
<v Greg>Remember convincing my parents to first get a heart a larger hard drive and

00:42:36.592 --> 00:42:39.554
<v Greg>then an EGA card So it's like a wing commander to on the TRS-80.

00:42:39.554 --> 00:42:44.884
<v Jeff>Oh On the PC. Okay. Yeah, we never had I don't know They probably didn't have

00:42:44.884 --> 00:42:49.381
<v Jeff>hard drives for for those computers first Christmas when I got it came with the cassette deck.

00:42:50.723 --> 00:42:54.385
<v Jeff>Yeah And loading games from cassettes were awful. And then I probably told the

00:42:54.385 --> 00:42:59.369
<v Jeff>story before but there was a Magazine you could get for the color computers.

00:42:59.789 --> 00:43:03.112
<v Jeff>It's called rainbow and And there's a magazine with code in it.

00:43:03.112 --> 00:43:08.846
<v Jeff>So imagine like, I don't know, an 11-year-old trying to transpose code.

00:43:08.846 --> 00:43:12.599
<v Jeff>Never went very well. I had to beg my mom to type in the code for me.

00:43:14.301 --> 00:43:17.883
<v Jeff>But you could order the programs on cassette in the mail.

00:43:20.325 --> 00:43:25.749
<v Jeff>And one of the times, they just got totally magnetically damaged in transit.

00:43:25.910 --> 00:43:30.383
<v Jeff>And I'd have to, I'd try to load the game like five or six times to get it to work.

00:43:31.053 --> 00:43:34.816
<v Jeff>And it was so frustrating. Where in hindsight, it's like, just write the company,

00:43:34.816 --> 00:43:37.911
<v Jeff>they'll send you another tape. But it was like, oh, you're a kid,

00:43:37.911 --> 00:43:38.919
<v Jeff>you don't know you can do that.

00:43:41.061 --> 00:43:46.284
<v Jeff>And then the following Christmas got to the floppy drive that plugged into the ROM port.

00:43:46.284 --> 00:43:51.508
<v Greg>I remember seeing something about these controllers. That is one of the worst

00:43:51.508 --> 00:43:53.329
<v Greg>designs I've ever seen for a controller.

00:43:53.710 --> 00:43:54.311
<v Shannon>Terrible design.

00:43:54.853 --> 00:43:59.461
<v Greg>It's got... So, okay. Boy, how do you explain this?

00:43:59.943 --> 00:44:04.493
<v Greg>It's like a little, um, a little box, like a...

00:44:05.743 --> 00:44:09.006
<v Greg>Kind of boxes that like, is there anything that that's sort of similar to that?

00:44:09.927 --> 00:44:17.272
<v Jeff>Well, it's almost like something you would, um, pay a quarter at like a museum

00:44:17.272 --> 00:44:22.296
<v Jeff>to, to, to make it play the audio where you have two wheels on the side.

00:44:22.296 --> 00:44:24.577
<v Greg>Yeah. And there's two wheels on the side, apparently that you're controlling

00:44:24.577 --> 00:44:29.161
<v Greg>the horizontal and the vertical. And then there's a, a knob for English,

00:44:29.161 --> 00:44:32.203
<v Greg>which I guess is in terms of like, like a pool English thing.

00:44:32.584 --> 00:44:39.138
<v Jeff>And there's a reset button on the top So I guess you're playing like Pong type

00:44:39.138 --> 00:44:42.070
<v Jeff>games or things like that yeah,

00:44:42.070 --> 00:44:47.855
<v Jeff>I suppose yeah, the English would kind of give the Projectile a bit of a spin

00:44:47.855 --> 00:44:51.998
<v Jeff>as a good writer bowling Oh, we're ping-pong like like you actually play it

00:44:51.998 --> 00:44:54.399
<v Jeff>in real table tenants, but that's wild.

00:44:54.399 --> 00:44:58.542
<v Greg>That's stupid and And it's amazing and like, not at all.

00:44:59.383 --> 00:45:02.859
<v Greg>I mean, like I remember the, you know, the old Atari controllers are still,

00:45:02.859 --> 00:45:04.487
<v Greg>you know, everything was boxy. It never has yet.

00:45:04.928 --> 00:45:08.210
<v Greg>The idea of conforming to a hand was just not something that was,

00:45:08.210 --> 00:45:11.713
<v Greg>that didn't come about until like the, the later eighties.

00:45:11.713 --> 00:45:12.853
<v Jeff>Not till the PlayStation.

00:45:13.214 --> 00:45:18.237
<v Greg>Well, no, cause they had like, I know that the second Genesis had like a kind

00:45:18.237 --> 00:45:22.020
<v Greg>of curve to it. So it was, it was trying to do that.

00:45:22.561 --> 00:45:23.942
<v Jeff>PlayStation was downright futuristic.

00:45:23.942 --> 00:45:28.065
<v Greg>And the same with the Nintendo Super Nintendo, right? It had like the bubbles

00:45:28.065 --> 00:45:30.327
<v Greg>at the end, as opposed to just just a square.

00:45:30.327 --> 00:45:37.642
<v Jeff>The. The paddles for the Atari were more form fitting, though.

00:45:37.642 --> 00:45:41.315
<v Jeff>The knobs that you could use to play the games like breakout and stuff like that.

00:45:41.315 --> 00:45:43.777
<v Greg>I don't remember them very well. I thought they were still kind of boxy.

00:45:43.777 --> 00:45:44.897
<v Greg>I remember the television.

00:45:45.479 --> 00:45:48.561
<v Jeff>They had a radius to them. They were they fit in the palm better.

00:45:48.561 --> 00:45:51.803
<v Greg>OK, I remember the Intellivision controller, another terrible controller,

00:45:51.803 --> 00:45:57.531
<v Greg>because it was a square with a knob on top. And then I think they had a number

00:45:57.531 --> 00:45:59.914
<v Greg>pad. I remember correctly. Yeah.

00:45:59.914 --> 00:46:03.439
<v Jeff>Yeah. I think the Coleco had a number pad too.

00:46:03.439 --> 00:46:03.879
<v Greg>Yeah.

00:46:05.564 --> 00:46:13.570
<v Greg>just the, those weird days when people had no idea what they were making and

00:46:13.570 --> 00:46:16.973
<v Greg>they were just experimenting and did not.

00:46:17.313 --> 00:46:19.975
<v Jeff>I just figured out what I need to get you for your birthday.

00:46:20.355 --> 00:46:20.896
<v Greg>What's that?

00:46:20.896 --> 00:46:22.157
<v Jeff>Which is tomorrow, by the way.

00:46:22.157 --> 00:46:25.719
<v Greg>So everyone wish Greg a happy birthday, a week late, a couple of days late when

00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:29.722
<v Greg>you get this, um, it's how many times the earth has traveled around the sun

00:46:29.722 --> 00:46:33.505
<v Greg>since I was, since I have been, was expelled from my mother's It's totally cool.

00:46:33.505 --> 00:46:38.829
<v Jeff>And it's probably several million light years in the universe away since the

00:46:38.829 --> 00:46:41.031
<v Jeff>Sun has moved Million light years.

00:46:41.031 --> 00:46:41.872
<v Greg>I don't know.

00:46:41.872 --> 00:46:46.255
<v Jeff>I don't think so. Well, I'm just Saying big numbers million parsecs.

00:46:46.576 --> 00:46:50.779
<v Greg>No, not even 12 parsecs Toshi run Yeah, oh wait, they'll shine against me.

00:46:56.504 --> 00:47:00.626
<v Greg>I'm sorry to leave you Um, but what are you going to tell me what this?

00:47:00.626 --> 00:47:03.668
<v Jeff>I'm going to build suspense until Shannon gets back. Cause she'll enjoy the conversation.

00:47:06.611 --> 00:47:07.932
<v Jeff>Shannon, we're waiting on you.

00:47:08.812 --> 00:47:10.133
<v Greg>Tell us you're ready three times.

00:47:11.574 --> 00:47:16.528
<v Jeff>All right. We just poured one of the, I bought a bunch of beers from Allagash

00:47:16.528 --> 00:47:18.799
<v Jeff>on the trip. That was like our first big stop.

00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:25.824
<v Jeff>And we took the sellers tour at Allagash and got the drink beer from a fooder.

00:47:25.844 --> 00:47:29.930
<v Jeff>They got to drink a couple of limited releases, and then they had beer for sale

00:47:29.930 --> 00:47:33.455
<v Jeff>that was just for sale for people at the Cellars Tour. This is one of them.

00:47:33.455 --> 00:47:36.930
<v Jeff>This is Needles. It's a rum barrel aged beer from Allagash.

00:47:37.942 --> 00:47:40.625
<v Jeff>The contents are under pressure, so open cautiously.

00:47:42.032 --> 00:47:44.253
<v Jeff>It's 10.6% ABV.

00:47:44.253 --> 00:47:44.894
<v Shannon>Oh, good.

00:47:45.494 --> 00:47:49.537
<v Jeff>And it was bottled on September 12th, 2018. 2018, pre-COVID, pre-pandemic.

00:47:53.661 --> 00:47:56.863
<v Greg>So don't want to expose this to COVID, otherwise it might get sick.

00:47:56.863 --> 00:48:00.286
<v Jeff>All right, so I figured out what we're going to eat, Greg, for his birthday.

00:48:01.107 --> 00:48:02.027
<v Shannon>It's kind of late.

00:48:03.469 --> 00:48:06.991
<v Jeff>No, technically early. Birthday is just a state of mind. Okay.

00:48:06.991 --> 00:48:09.373
<v Jeff>P.A. pinball. We're going to take him to P.A. pinball.

00:48:09.373 --> 00:48:10.754
<v Shannon>Oh, that would be fun.

00:48:11.215 --> 00:48:18.119
<v Jeff>It's this place down in Beaver that has like 400, like a retro video game machines

00:48:18.119 --> 00:48:22.783
<v Jeff>and pinball machines and stuff like that. And you pay like hourly or,

00:48:22.783 --> 00:48:25.985
<v Jeff>you know, like go in for like a session of two hours or something like that.

00:48:25.985 --> 00:48:30.569
<v Greg>I mean, I'll definitely do that, but to be honest, I would prefer,

00:48:30.569 --> 00:48:33.671
<v Greg>let's say either escape room. I love those.

00:48:33.951 --> 00:48:40.276
<v Shannon>Or you guys can go do the one that they're using the submarine over there at the museum.

00:48:42.078 --> 00:48:46.160
<v Greg>That's maybe, or like a putt putt that when it was indoor putt,

00:48:46.160 --> 00:48:47.821
<v Greg>putt things that you can drink out. It'd be fun.

00:48:49.443 --> 00:48:52.745
<v Jeff>I'm pretty sure it's BYOB at the PA Pimble. I thought you, okay, sorry.

00:48:53.806 --> 00:48:59.570
<v Jeff>That's my idea though. I'm not against it, but there's so many old games like

00:48:59.570 --> 00:49:01.191
<v Jeff>the old Budweiser like game.

00:49:01.191 --> 00:49:04.093
<v Greg>Yeah. Like, well, I, I recently, when Nick was here, I went to a,

00:49:04.093 --> 00:49:08.857
<v Greg>uh, There's an arcade, a smaller one in the strip where they have a bunch of

00:49:08.857 --> 00:49:14.541
<v Greg>a bunch of pin pinball machines and really old games.

00:49:14.981 --> 00:49:21.986
<v Greg>And it was fun for like an hour. And then it kind of. And like all those old games are so.

00:49:23.677 --> 00:49:30.552
<v Greg>They're lacking in depth that it just felt like, every time I play one,

00:49:30.552 --> 00:49:32.794
<v Greg>I'm not really into it anymore.

00:49:34.836 --> 00:49:39.426
<v Greg>So I didn't have as much fun as I thought I would okay That's that's the reason

00:49:39.426 --> 00:49:45.364
<v Greg>why I'm a little less like yeah, exactly the the nostalgia of it was not I Was

00:49:45.364 --> 00:49:47.225
<v Greg>like man a sit-down spy hunter.

00:49:47.225 --> 00:49:52.289
<v Greg>This is awesome and rampage and you know older ones Frogger Just playing freaking

00:49:52.289 --> 00:49:59.515
<v Greg>Frogger Frogger was fun Frogger turns out to be a pretty fun game But you know,

00:49:59.515 --> 00:50:05.219
<v Greg>like, how long can you play it before you just like, okay, and Spy Hunter,

00:50:05.219 --> 00:50:09.201
<v Greg>another one, it's just could have been better.

00:50:10.022 --> 00:50:16.426
<v Greg>All of these games, they don't, I feel like video gaming has moved on so significantly

00:50:16.426 --> 00:50:23.872
<v Greg>from them that they just like, I still, you know, Pac-Man can draw me in.

00:50:24.574 --> 00:50:29.278
<v Greg>When something is designed really well, uh, it can be kind of timeless,

00:50:29.278 --> 00:50:33.723
<v Greg>but, And a spy hunter was more.

00:50:35.454 --> 00:50:36.514
<v Greg>nifty than timeless.

00:50:37.335 --> 00:50:43.839
<v Jeff>Yeah, yeah. No, I hear you. It was one, that's like the, that's my number one,

00:50:43.839 --> 00:50:45.681
<v Jeff>like, nostalgia video game.

00:50:45.681 --> 00:50:49.564
<v Jeff>Like, it was at the arcade when we went on vacation up the Conneaut Lake one

00:50:49.564 --> 00:50:53.306
<v Jeff>year, and I, you know, got all the quarters I could get my hands on when I did the Spy Hunter.

00:50:53.687 --> 00:50:57.209
<v Jeff>So, like, that's, you know, that's the reason that that one is,

00:50:57.209 --> 00:51:01.833
<v Jeff>when I say, you know, retro nostalgia, for me it's Spy Hunter.

00:51:01.953 --> 00:51:08.237
<v Jeff>But yeah, the one down at PA Pinball, I didn't do great, you know?

00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:13.862
<v Greg>That's another thing, I do feel like, especially Pac-Man, it does feel like

00:51:13.862 --> 00:51:20.647
<v Greg>a game where if you played it a couple times more than standard, you can get good at it.

00:51:21.527 --> 00:51:27.752
<v Greg>Whereas those other ones, a lot of it is just, it's not so much that you'd be

00:51:27.752 --> 00:51:33.876
<v Greg>lucky to, you'd have to spend a lot to get to the point where you understand the patterns.

00:51:33.876 --> 00:51:39.341
<v Jeff>I mean, nice thing about that is, you know, it's an entry fee,

00:51:39.341 --> 00:51:41.842
<v Jeff>so you can play whatever you want. Oh, that's nice. As many as you want.

00:51:41.842 --> 00:51:43.784
<v Jeff>You don't have to put in tokens to play, so.

00:51:43.964 --> 00:51:48.367
<v Greg>Like I said, I wouldn't be opposed to it, but if you're looking for things to

00:51:48.367 --> 00:51:52.470
<v Greg>get to, like, to make that part of my brain go, woo!

00:51:53.111 --> 00:51:53.671
<v Jeff>Escape rooms.

00:51:53.671 --> 00:51:56.293
<v Greg>Escape rooms, and I think the putt-putt stuff would be great, too.

00:51:56.293 --> 00:51:57.475
<v Jeff>Okay.

00:51:57.475 --> 00:52:01.757
<v Shannon>I would pass on the escape rooms, but I'll definitely join you on the topic.

00:52:01.757 --> 00:52:02.698
<v Jeff>She's worried about claustrophobia.

00:52:02.698 --> 00:52:07.782
<v Greg>No, you're not gonna get claustrophobic. Because usually, almost all of them,

00:52:07.782 --> 00:52:10.645
<v Greg>there's one that I played with was just a really big room, but almost all of

00:52:10.645 --> 00:52:12.186
<v Greg>them, they open up into multiple rooms.

00:52:12.626 --> 00:52:16.709
<v Greg>And if you freak out, you just switch to- And you're so busy trying to solve

00:52:16.709 --> 00:52:18.090
<v Greg>problems that you're not really thinking about.

00:52:18.090 --> 00:52:20.232
<v Jeff>And if you do freak out, there's an escape button.

00:52:20.232 --> 00:52:21.393
<v Greg>Yeah, you can just go out.

00:52:21.393 --> 00:52:21.761
<v Jeff>Let me out.

00:52:21.761 --> 00:52:22.374
<v Greg>You can just walk outside.

00:52:22.374 --> 00:52:25.959
<v Shannon>Yeah, but I'd be mad at myself for paying all that money to go into the escape

00:52:25.959 --> 00:52:29.063
<v Shannon>room in the first place and then having to hit that button. So then I would

00:52:29.063 --> 00:52:32.568
<v Shannon>just, I wouldn't do it. so then I would just suffer through it.

00:52:35.041 --> 00:52:36.442
<v Greg>I think that's what I'm afraid.

00:52:37.523 --> 00:52:40.625
<v Jeff>I understand your reluctance, but I think the problem solving,

00:52:40.625 --> 00:52:43.767
<v Jeff>you'd forget about it real quick. You'd be like, Oh my God, look at that.

00:52:43.767 --> 00:52:44.448
<v Greg>That's it.

00:52:44.448 --> 00:52:46.169
<v Shannon>As long as it's not the submarine one.

00:52:46.169 --> 00:52:50.933
<v Greg>Yeah. I think, I think it'd be, it'd be fun to do one with you.

00:52:50.933 --> 00:52:57.978
<v Greg>Cause I think you'd find it a lot more, um, a lot more exciting than you're

00:52:57.978 --> 00:53:00.059
<v Greg>thinking the submarine one.

00:53:00.120 --> 00:53:04.623
<v Jeff>That one probably, there's no bones around that one being claustrophobic.

00:53:04.623 --> 00:53:05.103
<v Greg>Right. Yeah.

00:53:05.103 --> 00:53:06.685
<v Jeff>Because, have you been on the Requin?

00:53:06.685 --> 00:53:07.826
<v Greg>I haven't, no.

00:53:07.826 --> 00:53:10.688
<v Jeff>So, at the Carnegie Science Center here in Pittsburgh, on the river,

00:53:10.688 --> 00:53:12.269
<v Jeff>they have this World War II submarine.

00:53:12.649 --> 00:53:14.511
<v Greg>Oh, no, I have been in that, yeah.

00:53:14.511 --> 00:53:17.673
<v Jeff>Moored. I don't think it ever actually served in World War II.

00:53:17.673 --> 00:53:22.077
<v Jeff>It was commissioned right at the end or something. But it's the USS Requin.

00:53:23.438 --> 00:53:28.652
<v Jeff>And I've toured it. It's been a while. But you could imagine a diesel submarine

00:53:28.652 --> 00:53:35.867
<v Jeff>from 1944 not having very many spacious amenities and turning that into an escape room.

00:53:35.867 --> 00:53:45.374
<v Jeff>There's, okay. So the upside is the, you won't have like fake knobs and dials and buttons.

00:53:45.374 --> 00:53:51.117
<v Jeff>You'll have a bajillion real knobs, dials and buttons, but also everything's

00:53:51.117 --> 00:53:53.217
<v Jeff>going to be so cramped. Not like...

00:53:56.281 --> 00:53:59.583
<v Greg>Legitimately like hooked up, like they're not the old stuff because they wouldn't

00:53:59.583 --> 00:54:02.805
<v Greg>want you to break the actual old thing. So it's just going to be new crap.

00:54:04.066 --> 00:54:08.390
<v Jeff>It might be, but there's, where are you? There's like, I don't know.

00:54:08.390 --> 00:54:10.090
<v Jeff>I have more, I don't know.

00:54:10.351 --> 00:54:14.624
<v Jeff>I have more faith because you can't like build, like you can't put drywall in there.

00:54:14.624 --> 00:54:17.937
<v Jeff>There's no room, you know, you can't build new stuff or either.

00:54:17.937 --> 00:54:25.983
<v Jeff>You're going to just like stick obvious new construction on 80-year-old control

00:54:25.983 --> 00:54:29.606
<v Jeff>panels, and you're gonna be like, oh, there's the button, or you're gonna have

00:54:29.606 --> 00:54:32.748
<v Jeff>to get under the panels and hook up the real stuff.

00:54:32.748 --> 00:54:36.551
<v Jeff>If you hook up the real stuff, that's a pretty damn cool escape room.

00:54:36.551 --> 00:54:39.133
<v Jeff>Yeah, but I don't think you're gonna do that, because you have a bunch of public

00:54:39.133 --> 00:54:41.575
<v Jeff>going through there. The real stuff's gonna break, and you don't want that.

00:54:41.575 --> 00:54:43.917
<v Jeff>I think they're done with the tours. I think it's kind of like- I think this

00:54:43.917 --> 00:54:48.781
<v Jeff>is their last ditch effort to- I think people don't care about touring the submarine anymore, so.

00:54:48.781 --> 00:54:49.381
<v Greg>I get it.

00:54:49.962 --> 00:54:53.945
<v Shannon>That's kind of the impression that I got when I saw it on the news recently,

00:54:53.945 --> 00:54:55.646
<v Shannon>that they were turning it into a scape for...

00:54:56.607 --> 00:54:58.848
<v Shannon>I don't think it's a permanent thing. I think it's temporary.

00:54:58.848 --> 00:55:00.069
<v Shannon>It's only for a couple of months.

00:55:00.660 --> 00:55:04.773
<v Jeff>But I don't know. I don't know. So what's this beer we got? This is Needles,

00:55:04.773 --> 00:55:06.854
<v Jeff>the Rum Barrel Age beer from Allagash.

00:55:06.854 --> 00:55:10.617
<v Shannon>Allagash.

00:55:10.617 --> 00:55:12.038
<v Greg>10.5% wild ale.

00:55:14.380 --> 00:55:17.763
<v Greg>Dark, right? I mean, sort of toffee-like, a little bit lighter than that.

00:55:18.744 --> 00:55:23.006
<v Greg>but it's kind of the color, sort of a tannish. I'm getting, go ahead.

00:55:29.531 --> 00:55:35.665
<v Jeff>Oh, you're probably getting more than me. I'm getting more of the like barely, like oak, malt.

00:55:37.337 --> 00:55:41.360
<v Jeff>I'm not getting like the rum, like that molasses-y rummy rum.

00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:41.921
<v Greg>Let's switch here.

00:55:41.921 --> 00:55:43.743
<v Shannon>Oh. Smell yours.

00:55:50.671 --> 00:55:54.635
<v Greg>Yeah, mine has more kind of sour notes than yours.

00:55:54.635 --> 00:55:54.815
<v Jeff>Okay.

00:55:54.815 --> 00:55:58.699
<v Greg>In the aroma, I feel like. Would you like to smell mine?

00:55:58.699 --> 00:55:59.821
<v Jeff>It's subtle.

00:56:05.095 --> 00:56:13.232
<v Shannon>I think mine smells more sour. Interesting.

00:56:13.232 --> 00:56:16.264
<v Jeff>Oh, the back has a lot of information. I don't know if the website has this,

00:56:16.264 --> 00:56:23.149
<v Jeff>but it started as a sour brown ale brewed with Pilsner Munich Special B caramel

00:56:23.149 --> 00:56:27.612
<v Jeff>melts with caramel malts with additional touch of flaked maize.

00:56:28.513 --> 00:56:34.618
<v Jeff>American yeast takes care of the primary fermentation. before we had PDO, galacto for souring.

00:56:35.379 --> 00:56:41.263
<v Jeff>Needles was sealed in oak barrels, previously used for aging rum at New England Distilling.

00:56:42.504 --> 00:56:49.629
<v Jeff>Finished beer grains, or finished beer gains, a deep, yeah, I can see what color it is.

00:56:51.671 --> 00:56:52.912
<v Jeff>And we'll figure out the flavor.

00:56:52.912 --> 00:56:55.214
<v Greg>That's because you've opened the bottle. I mean, technically,

00:56:55.214 --> 00:56:59.157
<v Greg>you may not have opened the bottle before you read the thing on it, but okay.

00:56:59.677 --> 00:57:01.479
<v Greg>I taste the rum at the end for sure.

00:57:01.479 --> 00:57:03.340
<v Shannon>Did you notice the label though?

00:57:04.301 --> 00:57:07.303
<v Jeff>Yeah, compass rose, yeah. I like compass roses, big fan.

00:57:09.085 --> 00:57:11.927
<v Jeff>Oh, that's the needle, it's the compass needle. Got it, cool.

00:57:12.487 --> 00:57:16.530
<v Jeff>I thought it was needles, like, I don't know, like jaggy plants,

00:57:16.530 --> 00:57:20.133
<v Jeff>like briars or something. Jagger's net.

00:57:20.894 --> 00:57:21.554
<v Shannon>Oh boy.

00:57:22.135 --> 00:57:32.603
<v Jeff>The flavor has this kind of appley, kind of tart apple or something I'm getting.

00:57:33.023 --> 00:57:36.106
<v Greg>That rhubarb in there? Yeah.

00:57:36.106 --> 00:57:37.907
<v Jeff>I like it. I can get behind that.

00:57:37.907 --> 00:57:38.527
<v Shannon>Yeah, definitely.

00:57:42.050 --> 00:57:43.651
<v Jeff>I was thinking like, is it prickly

00:57:43.651 --> 00:57:46.673
<v Jeff>pear? But it's not, but rhubarb's way closer to what I was thinking.

00:57:46.673 --> 00:57:51.818
<v Greg>The rum's really apparent. Yeah. Like it really, I really taste the rum here.

00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:57.093
<v Greg>It's especially at the end, and it adds sweetness the whole time through.

00:57:57.984 --> 00:57:58.905
<v Shannon>I can taste it.

00:58:01.100 --> 00:58:02.301
<v Shannon>I think it really stands out.

00:58:02.301 --> 00:58:04.653
<v Jeff>Oh, I can taste it in yours. Yeah.

00:58:04.653 --> 00:58:08.826
<v Greg>Mm, mix them.

00:58:08.826 --> 00:58:13.989
<v Greg>Um, this, you know, the sourness is not as complicated as you probably would

00:58:13.989 --> 00:58:21.655
<v Greg>want. Like, I'm thinking this is, this is more outbrewed than like Flanders-y, uh, and...

00:58:23.536 --> 00:58:27.659
<v Jeff>Yeah, when they say, like, uh, it starts out as a brown ale,

00:58:27.659 --> 00:58:30.481
<v Jeff>it makes you think it's headed toward, and the ingredients, right?

00:58:30.481 --> 00:58:31.562
<v Jeff>Pilsner, Munich, Special B.

00:58:32.563 --> 00:58:35.326
<v Jeff>Old Brune. It's probably where they wanted to go. And then like,

00:58:35.326 --> 00:58:37.967
<v Jeff>hey, let's throw this, you know, silly thing in.

00:58:37.967 --> 00:58:43.851
<v Greg>Let's throw some pedio in there. Which is kind of a weird twist, but I don't dislike it.

00:58:43.851 --> 00:58:48.354
<v Jeff>I mean, it's kind of par for the course for the souring culture on Old Brune.

00:58:48.354 --> 00:58:51.056
<v Jeff>Putting it in rum barrels is the big twist.

00:58:51.056 --> 00:58:53.478
<v Shannon>Yeah.

00:58:53.478 --> 00:58:56.540
<v Greg>And it does make it for 10.5 very drinkable.

00:58:56.540 --> 00:59:04.666
<v Shannon>It's, I really like this. I, on the nose it's really sour but I don't taste

00:59:04.666 --> 00:59:11.240
<v Shannon>the, on the palate it doesn't, there's, the sourness isn't there.

00:59:11.240 --> 00:59:14.152
<v Shannon>It's not tart, it's not sour, it's very drinkable.

00:59:15.193 --> 00:59:19.556
<v Jeff>I think it is tart. For me the tart fruit flavor like kind of wipes out the

00:59:19.556 --> 00:59:21.627
<v Jeff>big boozyness, the extra sour.

00:59:22.198 --> 00:59:26.821
<v Jeff>It's, it kind of is around that appley rhubarb thing is where I'm focused on

00:59:26.821 --> 00:59:28.912
<v Jeff>this beer, where my center of gravity is.

00:59:31.104 --> 00:59:34.706
<v Greg>What's interesting to me is how, four beers in, right?

00:59:35.427 --> 00:59:41.051
<v Greg>There's yet to be one that's wowed me yet. And these are a lot of beers that you'd think would be.

00:59:41.051 --> 00:59:44.714
<v Jeff>Yeah, no, I brought back, I brought back Whale's Glore, you know? Yeah.

00:59:48.677 --> 00:59:50.728
<v Greg>There's definitely not one I'd throw out in the bunch.

00:59:50.728 --> 00:59:57.143
<v Jeff>Yeah, no, no. My impression of the flight is I'm super-duper pleased.

00:59:57.143 --> 01:00:01.246
<v Jeff>I'm enjoying every one. I would like it even more if we went off on this tangent

01:00:01.246 --> 01:00:03.088
<v Jeff>picking out a thousand flavors in a beer.

01:00:03.088 --> 01:00:08.212
<v Jeff>But short of that, it's super fun and got plenty of things to talk about.

01:00:08.212 --> 01:00:15.317
<v Jeff>The mugshot. The mugshot that shook the world. So my first comment was,

01:00:15.317 --> 01:00:20.464
<v Jeff>I feel wrong for looking at, like, the mugshot makes you feel wrong for looking at it.

01:00:20.464 --> 01:00:20.946
<v Greg>Why?

01:00:21.680 --> 01:00:22.913
<v Jeff>The stare, the glare.

01:00:23.446 --> 01:00:24.880
<v Greg>Oh, I just thought.

01:00:26.532 --> 01:00:31.315
<v Greg>Isn't it weird that 35% of the country this this gremlin is their hero?

01:00:31.315 --> 01:00:32.937
<v Jeff>Yeah.

01:00:32.937 --> 01:00:36.940
<v Greg>Well, is it only 35% probably The ones who consider him a hero.

01:00:36.940 --> 01:00:40.563
<v Jeff>Yeah, I don't really I don't necessarily want to talk about the person in the

01:00:40.563 --> 01:00:43.465
<v Jeff>photograph I want to talk more about the photograph, but we can get to the person

01:00:43.465 --> 01:00:49.690
<v Jeff>if you want But like my first thought was like that glare It was intentional

01:00:49.690 --> 01:00:51.531
<v Jeff>makes well Oh, shit. Yeah, absolutely.

01:00:52.832 --> 01:00:55.694
<v Jeff>Makes me feel like I shouldn't be looking at this photo. Makes me feel like

01:00:55.694 --> 01:00:59.157
<v Jeff>wrong for looking at the photo. That was my first visible reaction.

01:00:59.717 --> 01:01:05.581
<v Jeff>And then one of my coworkers found this comparison that it's the Kubrick stare.

01:01:07.083 --> 01:01:13.547
<v Jeff>Stanley Kubrick. And then they had it right beside Private Pyle doing the stare

01:01:13.547 --> 01:01:19.871
<v Jeff>at the end, you know, like head tilted forward, eyes up, basically peak maniasy, right?

01:01:20.112 --> 01:01:27.976
<v Jeff>And then there's a shot from Clockwork Orange and a shot from Jack Nicholson one.

01:01:27.976 --> 01:01:31.298
<v Greg>Maybe I'm adding my own thing to it, but it just looked like a petulant five-year-old

01:01:31.298 --> 01:01:35.501
<v Greg>to me. Like just a, like, it was like, man, you took away my dump truck.

01:01:35.501 --> 01:01:37.102
<v Shannon>Pretty much what the person is, isn't it?

01:01:45.408 --> 01:01:45.708
<v Jeff>Exactly.

01:01:45.708 --> 01:01:51.670
<v Greg>Well, yeah, absolutely. Kubrick stare. So, I don't know, he's going for a menacing

01:01:51.670 --> 01:01:55.112
<v Greg>quality to it, but I'm just not afraid of the guy anymore.

01:01:56.938 --> 01:02:04.064
<v Greg>I mean, I'm, I'm more afraid of the people who he can influence,

01:02:04.064 --> 01:02:05.564
<v Greg>influence, but yeah, kinda.

01:02:05.564 --> 01:02:10.529
<v Greg>All right. I'm seeing that, that, that comparison and I guess,

01:02:10.529 --> 01:02:11.770
<v Greg>but again, I think it's, it's,

01:02:12.220 --> 01:02:17.985
<v Greg>a, it's a bit of a stretch, but people are just going to put,

01:02:17.985 --> 01:02:21.838
<v Greg>he looks a lot like private pile, like more than the other two,

01:02:21.838 --> 01:02:22.558
<v Greg>more than Jack Nicholson.

01:02:22.558 --> 01:02:26.561
<v Greg>People are just gonna put whatever they want to and on that and that was the

01:02:26.561 --> 01:02:28.403
<v Greg>point It's why he didn't like do a smile like,

01:02:28.403 --> 01:02:31.145
<v Greg>you know or anything like that because he wanted to get

01:02:31.145 --> 01:02:34.267
<v Greg>across that he's fighting What what's

01:02:34.267 --> 01:02:37.950
<v Greg>what was funny to me is he put his first he actually did a Twitter post which

01:02:37.950 --> 01:02:41.853
<v Greg>Kind of shocked me because I and I don't suspect he'll do many more of them

01:02:41.853 --> 01:02:47.577
<v Greg>because I I don't think like he has his own little Fiefdom however dumb it is

01:02:47.577 --> 01:02:52.261
<v Greg>a torture social why would he go to another network where somebody could still kick him off? Right?

01:02:52.601 --> 01:02:55.804
<v Greg>Why would he ever go to that again?

01:02:56.364 --> 01:03:01.428
<v Greg>I think he was just using it to put that out. I definitely expect people to

01:03:01.428 --> 01:03:03.869
<v Greg>put that on T-shirts and stuff like that.

01:03:04.711 --> 01:03:06.331
<v Greg>Both people who support him and who don't.

01:03:09.975 --> 01:03:13.356
<v Greg>And the the message that he put out, though, was election interference.

01:03:18.861 --> 01:03:23.723
<v Greg>Never surrender exclamation point Donald J. Trump dot com and I'm not the only

01:03:23.723 --> 01:03:24.724
<v Greg>one who noticed this, but it did

01:03:24.724 --> 01:03:28.265
<v Greg>seem funny that this was a picture of him surrendering to the authorities.

01:03:32.388 --> 01:03:33.709
<v Greg>So, the never surrender.

01:03:34.369 --> 01:03:38.792
<v Jeff>Facts get in the way of a good story and surrendering for what he's accused

01:03:38.792 --> 01:03:39.592
<v Jeff>of election interference.

01:03:45.496 --> 01:03:50.078
<v Greg>So and I keep remembering this tweet he did way back when in his presidency

01:03:50.078 --> 01:03:57.287
<v Greg>where he tweeted presidential harassment exclamation point like the sense with

01:03:57.287 --> 01:04:01.006
<v Greg>the most powerful person in the free world is like, oh my God, I'm being harassed.

01:04:03.107 --> 01:04:09.592
<v Greg>Just a whiny little bitch. Sorry to anybody who still for some reason likes the guy.

01:04:15.776 --> 01:04:20.259
<v Jeff>Obviously the people in this room don't Yeah, the

01:04:20.259 --> 01:04:29.566
<v Jeff>people in this room are not fans Shit we're we went to Hitchhiker stop the food

01:04:29.566 --> 01:04:32.809
<v Jeff>truck have some dinner yesterday and some beers first time a hitchhiker since

01:04:32.809 --> 01:04:37.079
<v Jeff>got back from vacation But her phone popped up a notification and it's like,

01:04:37.079 --> 01:04:39.334
<v Jeff>you know, it said Trump's mugged shot blah blah blah.

01:04:39.334 --> 01:04:47.986
<v Jeff>Mm-hmm And my eyes only caught Trump shot Hello skip it skip a beat Yeah,

01:04:47.986 --> 01:04:53.059
<v Jeff>yeah, I'm like they shouldn't put that in the notification people are getting excited.

01:04:57.364 --> 01:05:00.486
<v Greg>It, I mean, it, all in all, it's,

01:05:00.486 --> 01:05:03.549
<v Greg>it's much more important that he got indicted than the, the,

01:05:03.549 --> 01:05:10.935
<v Greg>the mugshot itself, but hey, I understand to a point, this is the news has to,

01:05:10.935 --> 01:05:15.278
<v Greg>they have to make a story about everything and they got to get your eyes,

01:05:15.278 --> 01:05:17.680
<v Greg>so they'll do whatever they can.

01:05:18.021 --> 01:05:21.643
<v Greg>And this is, I mean, this is a, this is a story.

01:05:22.324 --> 01:05:23.865
<v Greg>There's no doubt this is a story.

01:05:23.865 --> 01:05:28.308
<v Shannon>It's a sad story. story. It's a pathetic story about our country.

01:05:28.308 --> 01:05:33.953
<v Greg>It's a story that will still entice you to to watch. And that's important.

01:05:34.313 --> 01:05:37.996
<v Greg>Whatever it's about, it's a story that is intriguing in some way.

01:05:40.658 --> 01:05:46.382
<v Jeff>I do like how the president can't pardon Georgia election, Georgia state crimes.

01:05:48.244 --> 01:05:51.386
<v Greg>So so he still has to be convicted. He's still innocent until proven guilty.

01:05:53.407 --> 01:05:59.831
<v Greg>What's there, so that's, what's this next part of the homestead hearth going

01:05:59.831 --> 01:06:01.532
<v Greg>from a farm to a homestead.

01:06:02.613 --> 01:06:04.034
<v Shannon>Oh, stand on track now.

01:06:04.034 --> 01:06:14.661
<v Greg>Bellflower brewing. Okay, so we're going barley wine. So we're, so we're going from 10.5.

01:06:14.661 --> 01:06:14.781
<v Shannon>To 12.5.

01:06:14.781 --> 01:06:19.344
<v Jeff>Oh my gosh, turn it up to a skipped 11 we're Bring it up to 12.

01:06:19.344 --> 01:06:28.072
<v Greg>So let's see, uh, English malts, house yeast from barreled souls.

01:06:28.072 --> 01:06:39.403
<v Greg>And yeah. Another darker one, this one a little bit more dark.

01:06:39.403 --> 01:06:42.735
<v Greg>This one a little bit more in like the, the tannish toffee ish color.

01:06:46.774 --> 01:06:48.395
<v Greg>Not a lot of sour on this one.

01:06:49.356 --> 01:06:54.380
<v Jeff>No, no you get you get a malt but not in that like bread pudding super juicy

01:06:54.380 --> 01:07:00.665
<v Jeff>sweet Syrupy malt like we got last week from the Sabago That was barrel aged

01:07:00.665 --> 01:07:02.206
<v Jeff>that probably helped that get there.

01:07:02.606 --> 01:07:08.951
<v Jeff>This one has more of a Almost like a effervescent spritey kind of fizz malt

01:07:08.951 --> 01:07:13.575
<v Jeff>aroma like there's a carbonic or like a Lemon essence to the nose.

01:07:13.575 --> 01:07:18.238
<v Greg>I'm letting this warm up a bit but it still felt a little cold,

01:07:18.238 --> 01:07:19.339
<v Greg>even though it's been out for a while.

01:07:23.102 --> 01:07:25.904
<v Shannon>I'm pulling some dark chocolate out on the nose. For sure.

01:07:25.904 --> 01:07:29.167
<v Greg>Yeah, I'm pulling something like Hershey's.

01:07:29.167 --> 01:07:32.749
<v Shannon>Hershey's? Yeah. It's milk chocolate.

01:07:33.570 --> 01:07:35.451
<v Greg>There's a sweetness here that I'm mostly getting.

01:07:35.451 --> 01:07:39.034
<v Jeff>More like a chocolate chip morsel. If we're gonna, we're really gonna dig into it.

01:07:39.195 --> 01:07:39.975
<v Shannon>Okay, yeah, no.

01:07:39.975 --> 01:07:42.997
<v Jeff>I'm not trying to be contrite, but we're really gonna dig into it like chocolate

01:07:42.997 --> 01:07:44.438
<v Jeff>chip morsels is what I'm smelling.

01:07:44.438 --> 01:07:46.012
<v Greg>You're like a Toll House. Toll House.

01:07:46.012 --> 01:07:46.359
<v Jeff>Yeah.

01:07:46.359 --> 01:07:46.660
<v Shannon>Yeah.

01:07:49.442 --> 01:07:51.463
<v Greg>But just the chips, not like the cookie.

01:07:51.803 --> 01:07:58.768
<v Shannon>No, just the chips, right out of the bag. Semi-sweet morsels.

01:07:58.768 --> 01:08:02.731
<v Jeff>I'm getting away from that chocolate now. I'm more, the malts kind of opening up for me more.

01:08:02.731 --> 01:08:07.615
<v Jeff>I'm getting more of kind of a biscuity cracker, not bread pudding like last

01:08:07.615 --> 01:08:12.879
<v Jeff>time. It's definitely a drier, still a sweet bread of sorts,

01:08:12.879 --> 01:08:14.760
<v Jeff>but kind of a drier formulation of it.

01:08:14.760 --> 01:08:19.684
<v Greg>Yeah, a little bit of a, a little bit of maybe a raisin bread,

01:08:19.684 --> 01:08:20.985
<v Greg>like a cinnamon raisin bread thing.

01:08:20.985 --> 01:08:24.088
<v Shannon>Okay.

01:08:24.088 --> 01:08:29.972
<v Jeff>Yeah, or- Maybe a little muffin-y. Those Bellavia blueberry wafers that we have for breakfast.

01:08:29.972 --> 01:08:30.792
<v Shannon>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:08:30.792 --> 01:08:31.713
<v Jeff>Kind of like those kind of crackers.

01:08:32.314 --> 01:08:37.590
<v Greg>Oh, blueberry. Oh yeah. Blueberry muffin, maybe.

01:08:40.874 --> 01:08:44.777
<v Shannon>Actually, I think that's a really good description blueberry muffin.

01:08:44.777 --> 01:08:53.083
<v Shannon>I don't even taste it yet, but it's not wrong Goes kind of sweet at the end

01:08:53.083 --> 01:08:55.826
<v Shannon>though almost a little bit saccharine II.

01:08:57.047 --> 01:09:03.451
<v Jeff>Yeah, it's it's it's it's more see, I'm gonna try to work some carbonation out

01:09:03.451 --> 01:09:06.614
<v Jeff>of this because it it's too drying for me and

01:09:06.654 --> 01:09:13.099
<v Jeff>And I don't enjoy like the luscious hug of a barley wine as much,

01:09:13.099 --> 01:09:15.691
<v Jeff>cause I feel like the carbonation might be scrubbing my tongue.

01:09:15.691 --> 01:09:20.465
<v Jeff>I think you might be right. There's little I can do, like I would rather the

01:09:20.465 --> 01:09:25.409
<v Jeff>beer have more body, but one of the things we can do is if we swirl out some

01:09:25.409 --> 01:09:30.673
<v Jeff>of the bubbles, it might not scrub as hard and it might come across more soft and sweet.

01:09:31.253 --> 01:09:35.236
<v Greg>Technically what we're doing, for those who care about it, is we're agitating the beer considerably.

01:09:35.636 --> 01:09:42.651
<v Greg>what should allow more nucleation so that the solution will let go of more of

01:09:42.651 --> 01:09:44.703
<v Greg>the carbon dioxide that is inside the solution.

01:09:51.267 --> 01:09:53.429
<v Greg>For all those who like a little bit of their science corner.

01:10:00.934 --> 01:10:07.839
<v Jeff>That helped a lot for me. Yeah. Beer sticks around longer, doesn't get scrubbed off your tongue.

01:10:08.520 --> 01:10:10.882
<v Shannon>I think it's just like a blueberry muffin.

01:10:10.902 --> 01:10:14.084
<v Jeff>It's not exactly what I hoped it would be, but it's a lot closer.

01:10:16.626 --> 01:10:19.148
<v Shannon>A blueberry muffin that was baked in a barrel.

01:10:19.148 --> 01:10:20.739
<v Greg>Yes.

01:10:20.739 --> 01:10:22.331
<v Jeff>Okay.

01:10:22.331 --> 01:10:25.533
<v Greg>Now I round us on that. Cause I was feeling the blueberry muffin thing,

01:10:25.533 --> 01:10:30.977
<v Greg>but there was something else. And yeah, it's that woody, oaky thing that's also attached to here.

01:10:31.358 --> 01:10:35.321
<v Greg>And then I think it ends really sweet. like, almost like sweet and low,

01:10:35.321 --> 01:10:37.483
<v Greg>like a artificial sweet.

01:10:38.103 --> 01:10:41.225
<v Shannon>Oh, now, see, I don't get that. I'm not picking up on the artificial...

01:10:41.626 --> 01:10:44.108
<v Shannon>I'm getting way less of it.

01:10:44.108 --> 01:10:48.431
<v Greg>It's not the artificial-ness, it's the sweetness, because artificial sweeter

01:10:48.431 --> 01:10:52.094
<v Greg>is like a thousand times sweeter than sugar. It's the amount of sweetness,

01:10:52.094 --> 01:10:54.194
<v Greg>and not any chemical artificial. Okay, okay.

01:11:01.266 --> 01:11:10.832
<v Jeff>Yeah, there's a little, like, I guess woodiness, kind of like cedar.

01:11:10.832 --> 01:11:14.915
<v Jeff>I don't think this beer is barrel-aged, but like in the flavor,

01:11:14.915 --> 01:11:18.878
<v Jeff>from the way the malt's expressing itself and the way the dry finishes,

01:11:18.878 --> 01:11:22.961
<v Jeff>it's almost like, you know, dry wood planks.

01:11:22.961 --> 01:11:27.264
<v Jeff>There's almost like a cedar-y kind of thing, like almost imagining like looking

01:11:27.264 --> 01:11:29.766
<v Jeff>on a closet wall, you know, that kind of thing.

01:11:30.007 --> 01:11:34.590
<v Greg>I think at least in the beginning it's hot pretty well because it it it's pretty

01:11:34.590 --> 01:11:41.595
<v Greg>balanced at the start. It's just that ending that seems to I don't know go too sweet for me.

01:11:43.837 --> 01:11:49.341
<v Greg>But I am thinking dates Oh, no, okay.

01:11:53.785 --> 01:11:55.446
<v Jeff>Dates and chilled monkey brains.

01:11:58.887 --> 01:12:01.508
<v Greg>Doom baby for all those who don't get the reference.

01:12:05.270 --> 01:12:08.151
<v Greg>Turns out, one of the better Indiana Jones movies.

01:12:10.012 --> 01:12:14.274
<v Jeff>Who would have thought? In the first three years, the Temple of Doom would would

01:12:14.274 --> 01:12:15.254
<v Jeff>be one of the better ones.

01:12:15.254 --> 01:12:15.615
<v Greg>Right.

01:12:21.569 --> 01:12:28.514
<v Jeff>I really like this We have a few more of these I think I think with these i'm

01:12:28.514 --> 01:12:33.378
<v Jeff>looking forward to Cellaring some of these, you know putting them away.

01:12:33.558 --> 01:12:34.339
<v Shannon>I didn't do it.

01:12:34.339 --> 01:12:40.924
<v Jeff>Oh, we can drink them if you want. I think this Is celery a can gonna do anything? Sure. Why not?

01:12:41.325 --> 01:12:46.208
<v Jeff>especially if the oxygen infiltration is as high or the oxygen upon canning

01:12:46.208 --> 01:12:49.851
<v Jeff>is as high as You know, like we've had conversations with Craig in the past

01:12:49.851 --> 01:12:53.954
<v Jeff>about how that's like the dirty little secret canning beers and things like that.

01:12:53.954 --> 01:12:58.397
<v Greg>So it feels like if you're doing a canning, you should be putting nitrogen in there.

01:13:00.878 --> 01:13:08.343
<v Jeff>I mean, you would presume they would have a curtain of CO2 on the beer or foam

01:13:08.343 --> 01:13:09.644
<v Jeff>cap, like how they cap on foam.

01:13:09.644 --> 01:13:14.987
<v Jeff>So when bottling lines bottle bottles, they fill the beer into the bottle,

01:13:14.987 --> 01:13:18.430
<v Jeff>beer's cold, and so it keeps it from foaming.

01:13:18.430 --> 01:13:23.213
<v Jeff>But right before the cap goes on, they shoot a jet of CO2 down into the bottle

01:13:23.213 --> 01:13:28.236
<v Jeff>to cause it to foam over, and they throw the cap on the foam and crimp it down.

01:13:28.577 --> 01:13:34.260
<v Jeff>So all the oxygen is purged by the foam pushing it out. That's how bottling

01:13:34.260 --> 01:13:38.503
<v Jeff>lines generally work, right? That's cool.

01:13:38.503 --> 01:13:39.103
<v Greg>That's cool.

01:13:42.646 --> 01:13:46.929
<v Jeff>And I don't have as much experience up close and personal watching canning lines.

01:13:49.111 --> 01:13:52.673
<v Jeff>I presume instead of causing it to foam over, they would more so just put a

01:13:52.673 --> 01:13:56.135
<v Jeff>blanket of CO2 down on the top of the beer before they, you know,

01:13:56.135 --> 01:14:01.859
<v Jeff>like have a little thing that kind of flows it out instead of jets it out. But I don't know.

01:14:02.780 --> 01:14:04.241
<v Shannon>And- I'd be curious to know.

01:14:05.942 --> 01:14:07.863
<v Greg>Would you? Yeah. CO2 is heavier than air, right?

01:14:07.863 --> 01:14:15.389
<v Jeff>So it should, you can make a cushion, a blanket, a jacket is what it's generally

01:14:15.389 --> 01:14:18.932
<v Jeff>called when you're doing things like welding and stuff, it's an air jacket or a gas jacket.

01:14:22.415 --> 01:14:23.855
<v Shannon>That is really drinkable.

01:14:23.855 --> 01:14:24.516
<v Jeff>I'm glad.

01:14:24.516 --> 01:14:26.329
<v Shannon>I'm the first one to finish. Yeah.

01:14:26.329 --> 01:14:29.820
<v Jeff>Awesome. Cheers. You want mine? Yeah.

01:14:29.820 --> 01:14:31.101
<v Shannon>Sure. If you don't want it.

01:14:31.101 --> 01:14:32.382
<v Jeff>You love it. Go for it.

01:14:34.124 --> 01:14:39.598
<v Shannon>That's a good thing that I was thinking when you said we needed to put some of these aside.

01:14:40.069 --> 01:14:43.151
<v Shannon>It was a good thing that I hadn't opened one of these already,

01:14:43.151 --> 01:14:45.292
<v Shannon>because we wouldn't have one for the show.

01:14:46.714 --> 01:14:48.535
<v Shannon>Now you're telling me you want to put some aside.

01:14:49.296 --> 01:14:54.079
<v Jeff>I just think that- We just have to go back. I'd be really curious to see how this one ages.

01:14:54.459 --> 01:15:03.726
<v Jeff>Yeah, and back to Greg's point, I don't have success stories of aging canned

01:15:03.726 --> 01:15:07.689
<v Jeff>barley wines. This would be the kind of first experiment to do that, so.

01:15:08.652 --> 01:15:09.874
<v Shannon>Anybody want any more of this?

01:15:09.874 --> 01:15:10.577
<v Greg>No?

01:15:10.577 --> 01:15:13.102
<v Shannon>All right. All right, yeah,

01:15:15.346 --> 01:15:17.988
<v Shannon>Not that there's that much. Oh, you're a bit.

01:15:19.550 --> 01:15:23.192
<v Jeff>I'll take it All right, definitely so now we can't go into the next beer because

01:15:23.192 --> 01:15:27.535
<v Jeff>shan's got a few ounces of beer Oh, yeah, talk about video games or let's talk

01:15:27.535 --> 01:15:31.658
<v Jeff>about greg's t-shirt Oh, this is a i've had this issue for a long time.

01:15:31.839 --> 01:15:36.502
<v Greg>I got a walmart believe it or not I get compliments on it all the time.

01:15:36.502 --> 01:15:42.667
<v Greg>It's it's like I don't know a cat with a biggie smalls pose um Like gangster king.

01:15:42.667 --> 01:15:48.511
<v Greg>Yeah, he's got sunglasses on and a king and, but it's a cat and yeah,

01:15:48.511 --> 01:15:51.954
<v Greg>no, it's just a, it's a silly little shirt that people compliment about all

01:15:51.954 --> 01:15:54.596
<v Greg>the time. So keep wearing it.

01:15:54.596 --> 01:15:54.916
<v Jeff>It's so.

01:15:54.916 --> 01:15:56.077
<v Shannon>I like it. I like it.

01:15:57.278 --> 01:16:00.900
<v Jeff>The shirt that I have that I get the most compliments on, it's crazy.

01:16:00.900 --> 01:16:07.145
<v Jeff>So when Four Seasons Total Landscaping happened, it happened like on Saturday or Sunday, right?

01:16:07.646 --> 01:16:11.869
<v Jeff>So you've seen the shirt that I made with my vinyl cutter and heat press and

01:16:11.869 --> 01:16:13.750
<v Jeff>irons and stuff. So I made this iron-on.

01:16:13.750 --> 01:16:14.231
<v Shannon>The same day.

01:16:14.231 --> 01:16:15.311
<v Jeff>So, is that?

01:16:15.692 --> 01:16:16.573
<v Shannon>On the same day.

01:16:16.573 --> 01:16:21.236
<v Jeff>On the same day. Because we were working from home and I have daily stand-ups

01:16:21.236 --> 01:16:26.460
<v Jeff>every day and I know the politics of my team and I thought it would be the best

01:16:26.460 --> 01:16:29.563
<v Jeff>to wear that on stand-up the next day.

01:16:29.903 --> 01:16:32.745
<v Jeff>Because, sure, people made T-shirts, you could buy T-shirts,

01:16:32.745 --> 01:16:34.987
<v Jeff>but you weren't gonna have them that Monday.

01:16:34.987 --> 01:16:38.549
<v Shannon>So I made the shirt at 9 45 in the morning, especially.

01:16:40.431 --> 01:16:44.154
<v Shannon>I mean, you might have the night before, I know, but nobody else is going to

01:16:44.154 --> 01:16:47.476
<v Shannon>have one by 9, 5 AM the next day. Yeah.

01:16:47.476 --> 01:16:47.856
<v Greg>Yeah.

01:16:47.856 --> 01:16:48.597
<v Shannon>Yeah. Yeah.

01:16:48.597 --> 01:16:53.460
<v Jeff>So I made a four seasons, totally unscaping shirt. It wasn't any of the fancy

01:16:53.460 --> 01:16:58.244
<v Jeff>ones. Like there was ones with like, so in Philly it happened in Philadelphia

01:16:58.244 --> 01:17:02.327
<v Jeff>and the Philadelphia Flyers have this mascot called gritty McNasty.

01:17:03.788 --> 01:17:08.902
<v Greg>Oh, that's, that's the, the icon that I use at work for my, like,

01:17:08.902 --> 01:17:14.491
<v Greg>avatar is, is like a really close up of just like the eyes and the mouth. Okay.

01:17:14.491 --> 01:17:20.821
<v Jeff>Yeah. So, so Gritty McNasty is this unhinged Muppet that the Flyers have because

01:17:20.821 --> 01:17:24.344
<v Jeff>the Flyers have the Philadelphia Fanatic, which is another weird mascot.

01:17:24.344 --> 01:17:26.766
<v Jeff>So they came up with Gritty. The Phillies, you mean. I'm sorry,

01:17:26.766 --> 01:17:28.147
<v Jeff>Phillies. Yes. The baseball team.

01:17:29.028 --> 01:17:32.724
<v Jeff>And, um, so Gritty McNasty is the hockey team's, um,

01:17:32.724 --> 01:17:42.658
<v Jeff>mascot, but on like, like crazy left internet culture, Gritty has become a,

01:17:42.658 --> 01:17:45.860
<v Jeff>the socialist hero for the workers.

01:17:45.860 --> 01:17:49.663
<v Jeff>So like, you know, comrade Gritty and stuff like that.

01:17:49.663 --> 01:17:52.325
<v Greg>Oh, gross.

01:17:52.325 --> 01:17:52.986
<v Jeff>You You don't know this?

01:17:52.986 --> 01:17:58.509
<v Greg>I just think it's gross to, to, to take something like that and,

01:17:58.509 --> 01:18:02.612
<v Greg>you know, turn it into, especially Like, look.

01:18:04.947 --> 01:18:08.769
<v Greg>I don't want to get too deep into politics, but if you're some sort of socialist thing,

01:18:08.769 --> 01:18:13.913
<v Greg>then to take a, a, a character that's being used as a commercial thing and turn

01:18:13.913 --> 01:18:18.536
<v Greg>them into a communist like thing,

01:18:18.536 --> 01:18:24.774
<v Greg>it just feels wrong from the, from the start, but also it just feels like just

01:18:24.774 --> 01:18:31.485
<v Greg>a weird kind of like attempted appropriation of popular culture.

01:18:32.326 --> 01:18:36.679
<v Jeff>The memes are great. I'll show you some memes afterwards. Maybe I can,

01:18:36.679 --> 01:18:37.790
<v Jeff>maybe I can open your mind.

01:18:38.470 --> 01:18:43.634
<v Greg>It has to be a really good meme for me to like it. Cause I find that most memes

01:18:43.634 --> 01:18:46.755
<v Greg>are way too juvenile for me to really get.

01:18:46.755 --> 01:18:50.658
<v Jeff>All right. All right. Well, all the listeners at home, check out the comrade gritty memes.

01:18:51.439 --> 01:18:55.822
<v Jeff>See if you disagree. I love them. I mean in an ironic way, it's not like,

01:18:55.822 --> 01:19:01.946
<v Jeff>I'm like, think that he's the way to, um, you know, overthrow the bourgeoisie or whatever.

01:19:01.946 --> 01:19:04.888
<v Greg>You know which Gritty I like? Gritty's Nuts.

01:19:05.329 --> 01:19:09.612
<v Jeff>Gritty's Nuts. Anyway, long story. Got into Gritty because a lot of the ones

01:19:09.612 --> 01:19:12.795
<v Jeff>being sold were gritty on a lawnmower and stuff like that. I just made a text

01:19:12.795 --> 01:19:16.137
<v Jeff>one. It said, four seasons total landscaping.

01:19:17.349 --> 01:19:21.541
<v Jeff>And then I said, in parentheses, and conference center, question mark?

01:19:22.242 --> 01:19:25.805
<v Jeff>And then in like italicies underneath that, it was right between the crematory

01:19:25.805 --> 01:19:26.765
<v Jeff>and the adult bookstore.

01:19:27.326 --> 01:19:32.812
<v Greg>Yeah, I just love thinking about Like how that happened because clearly.

01:19:37.359 --> 01:19:39.741
<v Greg>Like, OK, we need to do a press conference.

01:19:41.763 --> 01:19:46.826
<v Greg>And so let's get the four seasons. And they called just the first like four

01:19:46.826 --> 01:19:50.629
<v Greg>seasons that came up in. I don't know what Google search, like the Google search.

01:19:51.190 --> 01:19:55.813
<v Greg>And can we do a press conference? Would you be, you know, do you have room for us to press?

01:19:55.813 --> 01:19:57.195
<v Shannon>Of course they do.

01:19:57.195 --> 01:20:02.118
<v Greg>Yeah, sure. Wait, for how much? Oh, you know, we'll give you,

01:20:02.118 --> 01:20:05.621
<v Greg>you know, ten grand. And they're like, yeah, no problem. And they're like,

01:20:05.621 --> 01:20:08.483
<v Greg>great. And then they're like, yeah, send out everything. We're going to be at

01:20:08.483 --> 01:20:10.665
<v Greg>the Four Seasons. And then they, like, realize.

01:20:13.467 --> 01:20:17.050
<v Greg>And then they probably call the actual Four Seasons and the Four Seasons like,

01:20:17.050 --> 01:20:18.291
<v Greg>no, we don't have any space for you.

01:20:18.771 --> 01:20:23.494
<v Greg>What, tomorrow? No, it doesn't matter how much you're paying us.

01:20:23.715 --> 01:20:27.598
<v Greg>We've got other clients. And also, this thing is sketchy anyway.

01:20:27.598 --> 01:20:28.859
<v Greg>We don't really want to be involved.

01:20:29.119 --> 01:20:33.882
<v Greg>And so they're like, well, we still have the spot at the Four Seasons.

01:20:33.882 --> 01:20:37.445
<v Jeff>We meant to do it at the landscaping company. This was what we wanted to do.

01:20:37.445 --> 01:20:43.090
<v Shannon>This is what we planned all along. The funny thing is that it's been how many

01:20:43.090 --> 01:20:47.073
<v Shannon>years since that happened and we're still talking about it and every single

01:20:47.073 --> 01:20:48.874
<v Shannon>time you wear that shirt in public.

01:20:49.014 --> 01:20:55.679
<v Jeff>It's not hyperbole. It's not literally true, but like 80% of the times I wear

01:20:55.679 --> 01:20:57.760
<v Jeff>that shirt out, I get a comment.

01:20:57.760 --> 01:21:00.512
<v Shannon>Yeah. In a positive way.

01:21:00.512 --> 01:21:01.343
<v Jeff>Yeah, yeah.

01:21:01.343 --> 01:21:03.644
<v Shannon>I love the shirt. That's a great shirt.

01:21:03.644 --> 01:21:08.587
<v Greg>I mean, the other weird irony to me is, okay, that was, you know,

01:21:08.587 --> 01:21:11.908
<v Greg>such a big thing and everybody knows about it, whatever side you're on. That,

01:21:15.747 --> 01:21:20.691
<v Greg>I always found it weird that Trump is like two people who like him,

01:21:20.691 --> 01:21:25.154
<v Greg>a hero of the working class, even though he's a billionaire who clearly despises them.

01:21:25.154 --> 01:21:32.079
<v Greg>But also, he chooses to do his announcement at the Four Seasons.

01:21:32.079 --> 01:21:37.863
<v Greg>What working class hero is like, I'm going to make sure I do my announcement at the Four Seasons?

01:21:38.784 --> 01:21:42.827
<v Greg>That's kind of nonsense, but everybody knows that this guy, that's what he wanted to do.

01:21:42.928 --> 01:21:46.410
<v Jeff>Yeah, oh, it's Trump's brand right premium brand like, you know,

01:21:46.410 --> 01:21:51.234
<v Jeff>if there's not a Why didn't he have it at Trump Tower in New York City?

01:21:51.234 --> 01:21:53.155
<v Jeff>Why'd I be in Philly? I don't get that.

01:21:53.155 --> 01:21:56.418
<v Greg>I don't know Well, no, I think this Pennsylvania was one of the states, right?

01:21:58.841 --> 01:22:03.103
<v Greg>So Yeah, and particularly that that County the kind of Philadelphia's in it

01:22:03.103 --> 01:22:08.285
<v Greg>yeah, he needed to yeah, so but like still just Yeah, I very, very weird.

01:22:17.474 --> 01:22:22.451
<v Greg>I'm perplexed by it. And you know, Nick, when I posted the thing about it,

01:22:22.451 --> 01:22:26.220
<v Greg>Nick said, what are you surprised when I was like, no, I'm not surprised.

01:22:26.220 --> 01:22:27.321
<v Greg>I'm more perplexed by it.

01:22:27.321 --> 01:22:30.864
<v Shannon>I was just going to say, are you sure? Are you surprised at all?

01:22:30.864 --> 01:22:34.927
<v Shannon>But just just anything at anything just confused.

01:22:34.987 --> 01:22:36.828
<v Greg>Just like the man does just just.

01:22:38.370 --> 01:22:42.533
<v Jeff>I mean, we really shouldn't go up. The perplexion is that he hasn't cratered

01:22:42.533 --> 01:22:45.795
<v Jeff>and become just a laughingstock by 99% of the population. Yeah,

01:22:45.795 --> 01:22:46.876
<v Jeff>yeah. That's the perplexing part.

01:22:46.876 --> 01:22:49.959
<v Shannon>That is, definitely.

01:22:49.959 --> 01:22:55.443
<v Greg>Right. But this is, I mean, this is a very clear example.

01:22:56.184 --> 01:22:57.024
<v Shannon>Of how sad.

01:22:57.885 --> 01:22:59.065
<v Greg>Of how religion starts.

01:23:07.519 --> 01:23:10.190
<v Jeff>Not wrong, no, he's not wrong.

01:23:13.171 --> 01:23:14.071
<v Shannon>Hello, my name.

01:23:15.591 --> 01:23:17.272
<v Greg>So we're finishing up with unbeknownst.

01:23:20.091 --> 01:23:20.651
<v Shannon>I'm sorry.

01:23:20.651 --> 01:23:23.774
<v Greg>From Oxbow Beer. This is a...

01:23:26.276 --> 01:23:30.986
<v Shannon>Is it Oxbow or Oxbow? Because I pronounce it Oxbow. Okay.

01:23:30.986 --> 01:23:33.201
<v Greg>Oxbow. Bow.

01:23:33.201 --> 01:23:34.302
<v Jeff>Could be bow.

01:23:34.302 --> 01:23:36.383
<v Shannon>It could be, but I like ox.

01:23:36.483 --> 01:23:39.445
<v Jeff>That's an interesting question. I mean, it's a thing.

01:23:40.727 --> 01:23:44.849
<v Jeff>Oxbow, oxbow is a noun for a river thing, I think.

01:23:44.849 --> 01:23:46.931
<v Shannon>Jeff, we have to go back and we have to ask them.

01:23:46.931 --> 01:23:50.889
<v Jeff>Or we could just see what the proper, what the noun is, but no,

01:23:50.889 --> 01:23:53.115
<v Jeff>I think we just need to go back to Portland.

01:23:53.396 --> 01:23:57.138
<v Greg>One thing that my nearly 47 years on this earth has taught me is that pronunciation.

01:24:00.981 --> 01:24:01.962
<v Greg>Don't worry about it.

01:24:05.244 --> 01:24:07.245
<v Shannon>I need to go back and find out.

01:24:07.245 --> 01:24:11.058
<v Greg>Don't get over confused about it because it changes all the time.

01:24:11.058 --> 01:24:14.951
<v Shannon>Can we just settle on the fact that we need to go back and find out?

01:24:14.951 --> 01:24:22.657
<v Jeff>We can we can do that. I mean it sounds like a long trip Profitable profitable how well,

01:24:22.657 --> 01:24:27.201
<v Jeff>okay Okay

01:24:27.201 --> 01:24:35.787
<v Jeff>profitable for oxbow People were paying money to You pace it's good for my soul

01:24:35.787 --> 01:24:38.429
<v Jeff>piece of wood placed under and

01:24:38.429 --> 01:24:46.074
<v Jeff>around the neck of an ox With its upper ends in the air air of the oak.

01:24:46.394 --> 01:24:48.955
<v Jeff>What if you're bowing before an ox?

01:24:49.755 --> 01:24:50.696
<v Shannon>Well, who does that?

01:24:50.696 --> 01:24:53.967
<v Greg>I don't know, but if, you know, Dennison Oxbow, right?

01:24:53.967 --> 01:24:55.118
<v Jeff>Yeah. I suppose.

01:24:58.461 --> 01:25:00.813
<v Jeff>So there is a golden calf in the Bible.

01:25:04.196 --> 01:25:11.200
<v Jeff>So an oxbow is also a river feature, but the river feature is named after the thing,

01:25:11.200 --> 01:25:16.215
<v Jeff>the yoke, because it's shaped like a yoke where you have basically – I'm going

01:25:16.215 --> 01:25:20.366
<v Jeff>to try to do this with words so the listeners know – but you have a river that

01:25:20.366 --> 01:25:23.318
<v Jeff>has a curve that comes around almost 100, more than 180 degrees.

01:25:23.929 --> 01:25:28.612
<v Jeff>So the two pieces of the river are narrower than where the curve is.

01:25:28.612 --> 01:25:29.493
<v Greg>Right?

01:25:29.493 --> 01:25:30.733
<v Shannon>Can I see the picture?

01:25:30.733 --> 01:25:33.335
<v Jeff>Sure. If I can, I can't really turn.

01:25:33.335 --> 01:25:36.617
<v Greg>No, I don't need to turn. I just need to be open. It's like a crescent,

01:25:36.617 --> 01:25:39.899
<v Greg>but more. Okay. Like a bigger crescent.

01:25:39.899 --> 01:25:44.002
<v Jeff>It's like a super curve where the river almost comes back to touch itself.

01:25:44.002 --> 01:25:49.806
<v Jeff>And then like the apex of the curve is wider than the narrowest part of the isthmus of the land.

01:25:50.207 --> 01:25:54.949
<v Jeff>Um, is an oxbow, uh, or oxbow. Haven't, there's not a pronunciation.

01:25:54.949 --> 01:25:55.950
<v Greg>It's oxbow. Come on.

01:25:55.950 --> 01:26:00.373
<v Shannon>It's oxbow. No, it's oxbow. Or os, yeah, os, osbow.

01:26:00.373 --> 01:26:00.794
<v Greg>Osbow.

01:26:00.794 --> 01:26:02.615
<v Jeff>Osbow.

01:26:02.615 --> 01:26:06.258
<v Greg>Osboo. Osboo.

01:26:06.258 --> 01:26:08.079
<v Jeff>Osboot.

01:26:08.079 --> 01:26:13.083
<v Shannon>You can tell that we're, um, five drinks man on onset.

01:26:15.545 --> 01:26:19.648
<v Greg>So the the name of this is spelled out weirdly in turn on there,

01:26:19.648 --> 01:26:25.613
<v Greg>but they're all oxbow like features or close to it. They're they're they're

01:26:25.613 --> 01:26:26.954
<v Greg>ellipses. They're elliptical.

01:26:27.496 --> 01:26:28.417
<v Shannon>I love that call.

01:26:29.617 --> 01:26:35.662
<v Jeff>You are very observant, Mr. Weiss, for the record, most of the labels of oxbow

01:26:35.662 --> 01:26:38.984
<v Jeff>brewing, you can't easily read the name of the beer.

01:26:40.166 --> 01:26:44.729
<v Jeff>The colors are just so disjointed. If you don't have full color vision,

01:26:44.729 --> 01:26:47.872
<v Jeff>God have mercy on your soul trying to read these.

01:26:48.512 --> 01:26:51.814
<v Greg>And I kind of clocked it right away, but that's, you know, I have good eyes.

01:26:52.466 --> 01:26:57.819
<v Jeff>You have special eyes. He's special with his eyes. But yeah, all of them.

01:26:57.819 --> 01:26:58.980
<v Greg>Seven years old, no glasses.

01:26:59.501 --> 01:27:06.346
<v Jeff>All of them are difficult to read. This one, like I knew, I saw most of the

01:27:06.346 --> 01:27:09.688
<v Jeff>letters, but this B that looks like a three, I couldn't.

01:27:10.169 --> 01:27:12.310
<v Shannon>It does, it really looks like a three.

01:27:12.310 --> 01:27:13.991
<v Jeff>That kept me from figuring out what it was, but it's called Unbeknownst.

01:27:15.513 --> 01:27:17.994
<v Jeff>And it is a barrel-aged farmhouse ale with honey.

01:27:17.994 --> 01:27:19.595
<v Shannon>Oh, I've wrote urban health.

01:27:22.718 --> 01:27:26.321
<v Jeff>Production time was 48 months. Enjoy within five years.

01:27:26.321 --> 01:27:28.603
<v Shannon>Unbeknownst? Unbeknownst.

01:27:28.603 --> 01:27:29.903
<v Greg>This really is a farmhouse show.

01:27:32.006 --> 01:27:35.688
<v Greg>Like, a lot of these have been, you know, in the farmhouse.

01:27:35.688 --> 01:27:38.850
<v Jeff>Get used to it, buddy. It's gonna be the rest of the refrigerator.

01:27:39.091 --> 01:27:41.813
<v Greg>And get used to it, everybody else who happens to be listening.

01:27:41.813 --> 01:27:42.713
<v Shannon>Bring your own.

01:27:42.713 --> 01:27:47.617
<v Jeff>I mean, we could just drink, Shannon and I can just drink these off the air if you want.

01:27:47.617 --> 01:27:48.638
<v Shannon>Yeah, we could.

01:27:48.638 --> 01:27:51.960
<v Greg>I'm not complaining, I'm just, I'm pointing out.

01:27:52.521 --> 01:27:55.863
<v Shannon>I really thought that we were going to have to run a U-Haul to bring everything back.

01:27:55.863 --> 01:27:56.304
<v Greg>A trailer.

01:27:56.966 --> 01:28:01.098
<v Shannon>That would have been great because we would have months of money. No joke.

01:28:01.098 --> 01:28:05.691
<v Jeff>I still don't have all, all the beers that I brought back still don't fit in the fridge. No.

01:28:05.691 --> 01:28:06.111
<v Shannon>Wow.

01:28:06.973 --> 01:28:10.605
<v Jeff>They're still- Well, great. Each show I put more beers in the fridge,

01:28:10.605 --> 01:28:13.647
<v Jeff>but there's still some sitting out in the basement.

01:28:13.647 --> 01:28:15.219
<v Shannon>Yeah.

01:28:15.219 --> 01:28:17.580
<v Greg>Well, I got to bring over more treats then too.

01:28:19.622 --> 01:28:24.305
<v Greg>I brought over a bit of a brisket that I made. Yeah, I can't wait to try that.

01:28:24.305 --> 01:28:30.450
<v Jeff>Because people who may not be paying total attention, Shannon loves brisket,

01:28:30.450 --> 01:28:33.532
<v Jeff>Greg loves brisket. I prefer pork barbecue.

01:28:33.912 --> 01:28:38.235
<v Jeff>I just haven't had brisket that has changed my mind on that, right?

01:28:38.235 --> 01:28:40.297
<v Shannon>That's because you're, oh, well.

01:28:40.297 --> 01:28:43.680
<v Greg>I will say this, it probably wasn't my best brisket I made. It's not, I don't think it's bad.

01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:46.622
<v Jeff>I'm not gonna use this as my sole deciding arbiter.

01:28:46.983 --> 01:28:50.385
<v Greg>And it was frozen a bit, so I don't know how that's gonna change.

01:28:50.385 --> 01:28:53.307
<v Jeff>Totally looking forward to try it.

01:28:53.768 --> 01:28:57.951
<v Jeff>I want my mind changed. I want you to expose me to the brisket.

01:28:57.951 --> 01:28:59.812
<v Jeff>They'd be like, oh, I get Texas now.

01:29:02.395 --> 01:29:06.178
<v Greg>Well, I mean, I don't have an outside thing I can use to smoke,

01:29:06.178 --> 01:29:10.361
<v Greg>so I'm using sort of artificial smoking methods. Oh, okay.

01:29:11.923 --> 01:29:13.664
<v Greg>And I'm trying to dial it in.

01:29:14.144 --> 01:29:17.647
<v Shannon>Well, why haven't we used your brisket?

01:29:22.889 --> 01:29:25.390
<v Shannon>recipe technique with our smoker and spend a day just like...

01:29:25.390 --> 01:29:27.352
<v Greg>Well, I don't know, because it's not like I do anything special,

01:29:27.352 --> 01:29:30.354
<v Greg>I just... It's just low and slow and you put a rub, you want to...

01:29:30.354 --> 01:29:32.436
<v Greg>I mean, I can make... There's nothing special I do.

01:29:32.436 --> 01:29:35.558
<v Jeff>I can make brisket. Oh, yeah. If I'm the one prepared...

01:29:36.799 --> 01:29:42.884
<v Jeff>Like, I'm going to, ten times out of ten, prefer to put the work into a pork

01:29:42.884 --> 01:29:44.225
<v Jeff>shoulder than a brisket. And so...

01:29:44.466 --> 01:29:47.488
<v Jeff>But if we work together and we make a brisket, we'll make a brisket.

01:29:47.488 --> 01:29:49.729
<v Shannon>The problem is a brisket takes a day. I think we need to do that.

01:29:49.729 --> 01:29:50.730
<v Shannon>Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

01:29:50.730 --> 01:29:53.332
<v Greg>I mean, like a literal day. It takes 24 hours to get a brisket.

01:29:53.332 --> 01:29:54.713
<v Shannon>Mm-hmm.

01:29:54.713 --> 01:29:54.953
<v Greg>So...

01:29:54.953 --> 01:29:58.085
<v Jeff>How long do you, do you like, have to maint- do you...

01:29:59.376 --> 01:30:03.268
<v Jeff>Sorry, I'm stuttering. Do you smoke it, like, do you have to maintain it each

01:30:03.268 --> 01:30:07.281
<v Jeff>of the 24 hours, or do you wrap it after like half the time and just let it,

01:30:07.281 --> 01:30:10.043
<v Jeff>you know, marinate for the rest of the day?

01:30:10.043 --> 01:30:12.725
<v Greg>So this one I actually wrapped, and it didn't take any less time.

01:30:12.725 --> 01:30:15.688
<v Jeff>So...

01:30:15.688 --> 01:30:18.810
<v Shannon>But you didn't have to stay awake 24 hours. and babysit at every hour.

01:30:18.810 --> 01:30:20.310
<v Greg>Well, you don't have to do that anyway.

01:30:20.310 --> 01:30:25.234
<v Jeff>All right, so here's my pork shoulder recipe, right? Is the day before,

01:30:25.234 --> 01:30:30.038
<v Jeff>I will take it out of the plastic, the cryopack, and I will dry it off and put

01:30:30.038 --> 01:30:37.564
<v Jeff>a rub on it, and I will wrap it back up, and then let that sit for eight hours or so.

01:30:37.964 --> 01:30:41.587
<v Jeff>And then in the morning, I'll bring out my smoker. My smoker is a super simple

01:30:41.587 --> 01:30:44.949
<v Jeff>smoker. It doesn't have a temperature dial or anything. just either plugged

01:30:44.949 --> 01:30:45.840
<v Jeff>in or it's not plugged in.

01:30:47.631 --> 01:30:53.475
<v Jeff>Um, and I have usually hickory smoke. I make a mop with vinegar and brown sugar

01:30:53.475 --> 01:30:56.937
<v Jeff>and pepper flakes and other things and pepper and salt and whatever.

01:30:57.918 --> 01:31:01.340
<v Jeff>And I put the pork shoulder on the smoker.

01:31:02.141 --> 01:31:06.564
<v Jeff>I'll mop it every 45 minutes for four sessions.

01:31:08.306 --> 01:31:14.167
<v Jeff>I'll do four mops. After that, there's enough smoke on it that I will wrap it

01:31:14.167 --> 01:31:19.509
<v Jeff>in foil and then just let it go until an hour before it's time to eat.

01:31:19.829 --> 01:31:23.050
<v Jeff>So I'll let it go for another four, five, six hours, whatever,

01:31:23.050 --> 01:31:27.291
<v Jeff>it doesn't seem to matter. Once it's wrapped in foil, a couple layers of foil, it.

01:31:29.145 --> 01:31:33.328
<v Jeff>you keep the moisture, you don't get any appreciable drying,

01:31:33.328 --> 01:31:40.514
<v Jeff>and you get maximum dissolving of any of the connective tissues and stuff like that.

01:31:40.514 --> 01:31:47.179
<v Jeff>So that's my simple recipe, but I found no need to change it because it's really freaking good.

01:31:47.179 --> 01:31:48.820
<v Shannon>It is really, really, really good.

01:31:48.820 --> 01:31:52.683
<v Greg>So the best brisket I ever had was our mutual friend Brian made it, and it was...

01:31:52.683 --> 01:31:54.645
<v Shannon>Brian, which...

01:31:54.645 --> 01:31:55.526
<v Jeff>Bashaw. Oh, okay.

01:31:55.526 --> 01:32:00.249
<v Shannon>I wondered if it was the one I know. Oh, no.

01:32:00.249 --> 01:32:06.954
<v Jeff>I mean, you may have crossed paths at the very beginning. He was one of the

01:32:06.954 --> 01:32:08.935
<v Jeff>sales guys in Houston. Okay.

01:32:11.217 --> 01:32:18.723
<v Greg>So, he made this during extra life in Damien's smoker,

01:32:18.723 --> 01:32:23.766
<v Greg>and it took like 18 hours, but when When it came out, it had this incredible

01:32:23.766 --> 01:32:27.569
<v Greg>crust on it, and it was so smoky and delicious. It was so good.

01:32:28.890 --> 01:32:32.193
<v Greg>And he did it just basically low and slow, and then I think at the end,

01:32:32.193 --> 01:32:34.755
<v Greg>he pumped up the heat just a bit.

01:32:34.755 --> 01:32:35.896
<v Shannon>To crust it, yeah.

01:32:35.896 --> 01:32:40.439
<v Greg>The best one I've made is not that one, but it was one that I basically put

01:32:40.439 --> 01:32:48.145
<v Greg>a rub on. In fact, it was Woley's Rub, Woley's Rub, with also an extra little

01:32:48.145 --> 01:32:50.647
<v Greg>bit of salt and pepper, and just let it go.

01:32:51.087 --> 01:32:56.471
<v Greg>put a thermometer in it and just let it go on 220 for, I think it took like 13 hours.

01:32:58.273 --> 01:33:04.857
<v Greg>This one, it took, I wrapped it when I got home from the show. Okay.

01:33:05.278 --> 01:33:11.002
<v Greg>It was already at like 166. 160 is kind of where, is the stall.

01:33:12.543 --> 01:33:16.868
<v Greg>So I thought that by rubbing it, by wrapping it, it would just,

01:33:16.868 --> 01:33:20.956
<v Greg>maybe I wrapped it before I left, I forget exactly what it was,

01:33:20.956 --> 01:33:23.379
<v Greg>but I wrapped it at some point and then.

01:33:27.001 --> 01:33:34.346
<v Greg>It took longer. It took like 27, 28 hours before it finally hit its time.

01:33:35.267 --> 01:33:39.790
<v Greg>I don't know what, what happened, but then also the, the bark was like wet.

01:33:39.931 --> 01:33:45.775
<v Greg>So I, I put it in under like in three 50 for like 20 minutes to, to, to slip by the bark.

01:33:46.115 --> 01:33:49.378
<v Jeff>I just showed Greg, uh, I've been using this rub for my pork.

01:33:49.378 --> 01:33:53.681
<v Jeff>It's a local place made here. I think it's here in Penn Hills. Uh, Uncle Jammies.

01:33:54.372 --> 01:33:58.605
<v Jeff>Um, I used to make my own Rob from, you know, some recipe online.

01:33:59.105 --> 01:34:04.769
<v Jeff>And one time I found this at the local place, like the, the local items at the supermarket.

01:34:05.350 --> 01:34:09.613
<v Jeff>I'm like, let's give that a try. And it's cheap. It's really well.

01:34:09.874 --> 01:34:12.015
<v Jeff>Um, so that's why I like the wall is when it's cheap.

01:34:12.015 --> 01:34:16.218
<v Greg>It works well. There's, there's not, I don't, I'm not, I don't think you have

01:34:16.218 --> 01:34:18.860
<v Greg>to like, you have to have your, your own ingredients.

01:34:19.842 --> 01:34:23.104
<v Greg>Like now if you find something that works, use it. Yeah. Uh,

01:34:23.104 --> 01:34:26.366
<v Greg>And the bark on the Woolies one is, I think, pretty good.

01:34:26.897 --> 01:34:30.770
<v Greg>Not as spicy as this one, because I can definitely smell the cayenne.

01:34:30.770 --> 01:34:33.192
<v Greg>Yeah. But it smells really good.

01:34:34.173 --> 01:34:39.096
<v Jeff>He has different, this is the River City rub. He has different ones.

01:34:40.988 --> 01:34:43.660
<v Jeff>Haven't gone through the whole bunch. This one seems like the one that's most

01:34:43.660 --> 01:34:47.323
<v Jeff>makes sense for pork. So that's why I wanted that one.

01:34:47.323 --> 01:34:50.504
<v Shannon>But brisket. Is my favorite. I love brisket.

01:34:51.546 --> 01:35:01.652
<v Shannon>if I go to Like there's this place in my hometown in florida That I go to um

01:35:01.652 --> 01:35:07.937
<v Shannon>and It's a barbecue place So they have everything every option I,

01:35:08.788 --> 01:35:10.598
<v Shannon>i'm gonna choose the brisket.

01:35:10.598 --> 01:35:16.662
<v Shannon>I'm going to choose the brisket Every time you cannot go wrong.

01:35:17.083 --> 01:35:21.426
<v Greg>It's it's so good but the only problem with brisket is if you don't do it low

01:35:21.426 --> 01:35:23.248
<v Greg>and slow, it turns out like a roast.

01:35:23.248 --> 01:35:23.788
<v Shannon>Yeah.

01:35:26.351 --> 01:35:31.694
<v Shannon>You've, if you don't know what you're doing, you're gonna fail making a brisket

01:35:31.694 --> 01:35:33.776
<v Shannon>for sure. I love it though.

01:35:33.776 --> 01:35:40.081
<v Greg>And the roast is fine, but it's not a brisket. No. It's not the same thing at all.

01:35:40.341 --> 01:35:47.704
<v Greg>So you, yeah, so like I would say, this method of attempting to use artificial

01:35:47.704 --> 01:35:52.026
<v Greg>smoke is just my way of like, Okay, I live in an apartment. What am I gonna do? So.

01:35:58.641 --> 01:36:01.663
<v Greg>It's I'm trying different methods and I think I actually got more smoke flavor

01:36:01.663 --> 01:36:06.207
<v Greg>in this time But I still don't think it I think that the wrapping was a bad

01:36:06.207 --> 01:36:08.769
<v Greg>choice So I'm just you know,

01:36:08.769 --> 01:36:11.811
<v Greg>nailing in my technique The problem is of course every time I cook a brisket

01:36:11.811 --> 01:36:17.115
<v Greg>is gonna cost me 70 bucks or yeah, for sure But I get an amazing piece of meat

01:36:17.115 --> 01:36:18.877
<v Greg>afterwards I can use for a week.

01:36:21.400 --> 01:36:26.183
<v Shannon>So And then we can And hopefully, then if I manage to be like,

01:36:26.183 --> 01:36:28.104
<v Shannon>okay, remember to save some.

01:36:29.866 --> 01:36:32.267
<v Jeff>All right, so this oxbow's been sitting in our glasses.

01:36:32.267 --> 01:36:33.528
<v Shannon>Yeah, it should be good in.

01:36:34.049 --> 01:36:36.291
<v Greg>So this is a lighter color, so I would say.

01:36:37.952 --> 01:36:40.434
<v Shannon>Well, it's darker than the Hill Farmstead.

01:36:40.434 --> 01:36:41.555
<v Greg>Yes.

01:36:41.555 --> 01:36:43.856
<v Shannon>Anna and, what's that, Archibald?

01:36:45.218 --> 01:36:46.859
<v Greg>No, Arthur. It looks like an Arthur Palmer.

01:36:46.919 --> 01:36:51.222
<v Jeff>So the main thing about this one was, it was a 500 milliliter bottle instead of a 750.

01:36:51.763 --> 01:36:57.447
<v Jeff>So I poured the entire thing, including the hazy, cloudy, yeasty bits at the bottom.

01:36:57.447 --> 01:37:00.849
<v Jeff>So we have that, where with the pocha- Which they're sitting on the top now.

01:37:00.849 --> 01:37:03.731
<v Jeff>Yeah, and the pocha, when we drink the rest of Anna and Arthur,

01:37:03.731 --> 01:37:07.374
<v Jeff>we'll get more of the cloudy stuff, super, super clear. I figured since this

01:37:07.374 --> 01:37:14.038
<v Jeff>one is the, you know, funky oxbow thing, let's put some of the funky bits in.

01:37:14.599 --> 01:37:23.265
<v Jeff>The aroma, what is that? There is this, What it's it's a thistle or it's um,

01:37:23.265 --> 01:37:29.108
<v Jeff>that's all I know what I know what you're getting at thistle leather dusty.

01:37:31.650 --> 01:37:36.393
<v Shannon>Now I'm pulling leather, definitely leather, but there's this like this like

01:37:36.393 --> 01:37:43.408
<v Shannon>a vegetal thing there's an herbaceous or spice or a spice note to that leather

01:37:43.408 --> 01:37:49.402
<v Shannon>spice though time Now I want to go pull some time out.

01:37:49.402 --> 01:37:53.845
<v Greg>I don't know if it's time. Something... Herby... Dry...

01:37:53.845 --> 01:37:57.198
<v Jeff>The entire time we've been talking about meats and stuff, I've been smelling

01:37:57.198 --> 01:37:58.249
<v Jeff>this, and there's that thing.

01:37:58.249 --> 01:37:58.999
<v Greg>Rosemary?

01:37:58.999 --> 01:38:03.453
<v Jeff>No. No, it's definitely not rosemary. There's this thing that's off the edge

01:38:03.453 --> 01:38:05.054
<v Jeff>of the leather woody thing.

01:38:05.054 --> 01:38:06.315
<v Greg>Time. I think it's time.

01:38:06.315 --> 01:38:08.016
<v Shannon>It might... Let me go grab the time.

01:38:08.016 --> 01:38:08.857
<v Greg>Yeah.

01:38:08.857 --> 01:38:11.939
<v Shannon>Although, the time might be past it's time.

01:38:11.939 --> 01:38:13.468
<v Greg>You'll still be able to get some of the...

01:38:13.932 --> 01:38:16.241
<v Shannon>We'll work. We'll work at it. Let me get it.

01:38:19.156 --> 01:38:21.418
<v Greg>It almost... I don't know if you have marjoram?

01:38:21.418 --> 01:38:23.479
<v Shannon>Yeah, I believe.

01:38:23.479 --> 01:38:28.483
<v Jeff>We do, probably. It's one of those spices in there that I have no idea what

01:38:28.483 --> 01:38:29.864
<v Jeff>to do with. What do you do with marjoram?

01:38:29.864 --> 01:38:35.228
<v Greg>It turns out to be amazing. I think it's got... it just has this punchiness. It's really good.

01:38:36.710 --> 01:38:42.934
<v Jeff>What do you use it on? Like, where's your go-to? That jar is like...

01:38:42.934 --> 01:38:44.375
<v Greg>A little too resonating for the first time.

01:38:44.375 --> 01:38:44.755
<v Jeff>Completely empty.

01:38:46.096 --> 01:38:48.277
<v Shannon>I mean, it's... God knows.

01:38:48.277 --> 01:38:50.659
<v Jeff>I know the aroma. Oh, it is.

01:38:50.659 --> 01:38:55.461
<v Shannon>Why do we have an empty jar of so-called time jar because you use it for something?

01:38:55.702 --> 01:38:57.323
<v Shannon>Well, we're trying to buy more time.

01:39:00.145 --> 01:39:00.725
<v Greg>Who is it?

01:39:00.725 --> 01:39:07.650
<v Jeff>Right. See, now you're catching on to those jokes. I've been telling you in the Facebook reels.

01:39:08.150 --> 01:39:10.192
<v Jeff>There's this thing that it's my guilty pleasure.

01:39:10.192 --> 01:39:10.912
<v Shannon>It's shameful.

01:39:10.912 --> 01:39:15.475
<v Jeff>It's these two guys shameful sitting on a dock drinking coffee and they tell

01:39:15.475 --> 01:39:22.473
<v Jeff>these I'm gonna They tell these deadpan dad jokes, like, uh,

01:39:22.473 --> 01:39:25.743
<v Jeff>what do you call a nun who sleepwalks?

01:39:29.646 --> 01:39:30.866
<v Greg>Uh, a nuncicle. I don't know.

01:39:30.866 --> 01:39:32.187
<v Jeff>A Roman Catholic.

01:39:32.187 --> 01:39:35.870
<v Shannon>Okay.

01:39:35.870 --> 01:39:37.131
<v Greg>Sure. Sure. Why not?

01:39:37.742 --> 01:39:41.654
<v Jeff>Um, I mean, I smell, I have a real knack for knowing what's inside presents.

01:39:43.776 --> 01:39:44.456
<v Jeff>It's a gift.

01:39:44.456 --> 01:39:47.499
<v Greg>Terrible. No.

01:39:49.761 --> 01:39:51.762
<v Jeff>It's terrible, isn't it? It's good. It's so good.

01:39:51.762 --> 01:39:53.863
<v Greg>No. Okay. Give me, give me some more.

01:39:54.224 --> 01:39:56.865
<v Jeff>I really enjoy this. Is Google a man or a woman?

01:39:57.916 --> 01:40:01.128
<v Greg>Is Google a man or a woman?

01:40:01.549 --> 01:40:04.971
<v Jeff>It's a woman because you can't get a sentence out without suggesting something.

01:40:06.372 --> 01:40:12.196
<v Greg>That's not a dad joke. That's just a, uh, okay. Well, they're not dad jokes, but there are these.

01:40:13.177 --> 01:40:16.858
<v Greg>That's not a dad joke, that's just a dumb and misogynist joke.

01:40:16.858 --> 01:40:20.141
<v Jeff>Yeah, okay.

01:40:20.141 --> 01:40:23.763
<v Shannon>All right, I can't find marjoram, Jeff, you go see if you can find it,

01:40:23.763 --> 01:40:25.104
<v Shannon>there's labels on everything.

01:40:25.104 --> 01:40:32.509
<v Jeff>I'm not sure, I'm not positive we have it. My wife violently ripped the covers off of me last night.

01:40:33.069 --> 01:40:34.150
<v Shannon>This is a true story.

01:40:34.150 --> 01:40:35.070
<v Jeff>I will recover.

01:40:37.892 --> 01:40:43.285
<v Greg>It reminds me of an old joke I remember reading in a kid's book when I was like,

01:40:43.285 --> 01:40:46.017
<v Greg>I don't know, maybe 13. We were reading this kid's book of jokes.

01:40:46.017 --> 01:40:50.339
<v Greg>It was terrible. And then there was one joke that made us crack up. Just the setup.

01:40:51.540 --> 01:40:54.841
<v Greg>And the setup is, my dad beats me up every morning.

01:40:57.663 --> 01:41:01.104
<v Greg>That's the setup to the joke. My dad beats me up every morning.

01:41:01.104 --> 01:41:03.565
<v Greg>We were cracking up. Like, what the hell kind of joke is that?

01:41:03.565 --> 01:41:06.546
<v Greg>And the end is, he gets up at six, I get up at seven.

01:41:10.366 --> 01:41:13.388
<v Jeff>Those are the jokes that this this Mario plays

01:41:13.388 --> 01:41:16.110
<v Jeff>and I'm like oh that's corny but kind of

01:41:16.110 --> 01:41:20.513
<v Jeff>cute and now it's like oh a new one I got to see what these jokes are it's like

01:41:20.513 --> 01:41:32.211
<v Jeff>it's very kind of like guilty pleasure I asked Sam to sing me a song about the

01:41:32.211 --> 01:41:35.802
<v Jeff>iPhone and then Samsung that's terrible That's awful.

01:41:48.513 --> 01:41:53.816
<v Jeff>Noooooooooooooooo! You're tearing me apart. Okay, I'm done with the joke.

01:41:54.198 --> 01:41:57.439
<v Jeff>Like I said, guilty pleasure. Where's that, where's that tearing me apart?

01:41:57.439 --> 01:42:01.663
<v Jeff>Oh, good news. Good news. I have quit Justified City Primeval.

01:42:01.663 --> 01:42:04.145
<v Jeff>You're tearing me apart, Lisa!

01:42:04.145 --> 01:42:04.765
<v Greg>You've quit?

01:42:04.765 --> 01:42:10.709
<v Jeff>Okay, good. You get fed up and you're like, this is not worth it. Yeah. Four episodes.

01:42:11.631 --> 01:42:14.392
<v Jeff>Not going to watch them. So you should be proud of me. I quit.

01:42:14.392 --> 01:42:17.134
<v Greg>I'm proud. I am proud. Yeah, because that's something that you have trouble

01:42:17.134 --> 01:42:22.818
<v Greg>doing. How do you still watching Survivor? No. OK, but it took you 30 something seasons.

01:42:22.818 --> 01:42:28.462
<v Jeff>Probably. I don't know. All right. So I haven't tasted this.

01:42:28.462 --> 01:42:33.866
<v Greg>To be clear, I do think Survivor is an excellent show, an excellently designed

01:42:33.866 --> 01:42:35.348
<v Greg>show, an excellently made show.

01:42:35.348 --> 01:42:43.549
<v Greg>So I just think it's the same thing over and over again and I felt just the

01:42:43.549 --> 01:42:48.777
<v Greg>tension of watching it got too much for me and also there's an artificial bit

01:42:48.777 --> 01:42:51.018
<v Greg>to the editing that really kind of overwhelmed me.

01:42:51.339 --> 01:42:58.663
<v Greg>But I do think that it's a very artfully done show and it is like I am very, very impressed Bye.

01:43:02.970 --> 01:43:07.514
<v Greg>that they took this concept and made it as an, and really worked it.

01:43:07.815 --> 01:43:11.517
<v Jeff>Yeah, no, they found a formula that works, that does, that can run during the

01:43:11.517 --> 01:43:16.441
<v Jeff>writer's strikes and, uh, multiple now it's many writer's strikes.

01:43:17.042 --> 01:43:21.164
<v Greg>Um, and that there's a fundamentally great concept behind it and a great game

01:43:21.164 --> 01:43:23.006
<v Greg>there. The game we're talking about survivor.

01:43:23.006 --> 01:43:26.248
<v Shannon>Okay. I just walked back into the show.

01:43:29.030 --> 01:43:32.673
<v Jeff>It's, it's like a, it's like a Peloton, a bike race Peloton,

01:43:32.673 --> 01:43:35.495
<v Jeff>Like, where do you need to be in the Peloton to win, you know?

01:43:35.956 --> 01:43:36.976
<v Jeff>It's like that, because...

01:43:36.976 --> 01:43:38.718
<v Greg>Or horse racing like that, like, you know.

01:43:38.718 --> 01:43:42.340
<v Jeff>If you go in too hot, you're going to burn out early. Right.

01:43:42.340 --> 01:43:45.943
<v Jeff>You have to play all these strategies and different social dynamics.

01:43:47.484 --> 01:43:52.848
<v Jeff>It is so good because it's such a dynamic, backstabbing game.

01:43:55.651 --> 01:43:59.573
<v Jeff>And like, some people try to play it straight and form a strong alliance,

01:43:59.573 --> 01:44:03.896
<v Jeff>but the alliance crumbles and you know, the, the, the thief always wins,

01:44:03.896 --> 01:44:06.158
<v Jeff>you know, like, but not always.

01:44:06.158 --> 01:44:06.418
<v Greg>Yeah.

01:44:06.418 --> 01:44:07.159
<v Jeff>But not always.

01:44:09.721 --> 01:44:14.464
<v Greg>And, and the people who generally play it best are the people who are really students of it,

01:44:14.464 --> 01:44:21.369
<v Greg>who've really like studied and figured out some way to either really play the

01:44:21.369 --> 01:44:25.592
<v Greg>game extraordinarily well, or to exploit something that somebody else hasn't thought of yet.

01:44:25.592 --> 01:44:28.023
<v Jeff>But then you're also in a very stressful situation.

01:44:28.414 --> 01:44:28.954
<v Greg>Yes.

01:44:28.954 --> 01:44:34.918
<v Jeff>With scant resources and whatnot, unlike Big Brother or something where it's

01:44:34.918 --> 01:44:38.560
<v Jeff>just social dynamics and such a good game.

01:44:38.560 --> 01:44:42.029
<v Jeff>All right, so what is the flavor in this beer? It's the same thing that's What's

01:44:42.029 --> 01:44:46.186
<v Jeff>in the aroma? It's this weird, complex thing that... Gooseberries?

01:44:46.186 --> 01:44:47.186
<v Jeff>I kind of think gooseberries.

01:44:50.280 --> 01:44:53.963
<v Shannon>Tomato Whatever it is. I don't care for it.

01:44:54.504 --> 01:44:57.846
<v Greg>No, no, I don't know what that you're not getting it.

01:44:57.846 --> 01:45:01.069
<v Greg>It's not a fan Tomato No,

01:45:01.069 --> 01:45:07.614
<v Greg>there's a kind of joking kind of not there's this like earth like this tobacco

01:45:07.614 --> 01:45:14.479
<v Greg>you think but there's a big umami tomato hit there there's You know salt up

01:45:14.479 --> 01:45:20.123
<v Greg>a really not sour tomato or even a sour one, and you'll get this.

01:45:20.123 --> 01:45:25.307
<v Jeff>Okay.

01:45:25.307 --> 01:45:26.618
<v Greg>It is a tomato paste.

01:45:27.649 --> 01:45:31.452
<v Shannon>We have tomatoes. Do we need to salt up a tomato?

01:45:32.133 --> 01:45:35.655
<v Greg>Bring one out. I think that's what's here.

01:45:35.655 --> 01:45:36.735
<v Shannon>What are you doing?

01:45:36.856 --> 01:45:37.997
<v Greg>I thought you didn't want it.

01:45:37.997 --> 01:45:39.538
<v Jeff>You said you hated it. Well, I thought you were...

01:45:39.538 --> 01:45:45.222
<v Shannon>There. I'm still trying to, I mean, I've had two sips.

01:45:45.222 --> 01:45:50.166
<v Jeff>I'm still trying to analyze you were like just took my own gave you room to

01:45:50.166 --> 01:45:52.766
<v Jeff>pour something you liked But okay, no, it's fine.

01:45:56.891 --> 01:45:58.231
<v Greg>I Don't get you guys,

01:46:05.357 --> 01:46:09.644
<v Greg>sometimes Anyway Back to the beer so yeah, like get some if you do you have

01:46:09.644 --> 01:46:12.644
<v Greg>some tomatoes Where where are they?

01:46:13.085 --> 01:46:16.092
<v Shannon>Leave this. They're hiding. They're hiding.

01:46:22.407 --> 01:46:30.393
<v Shannon>It's definitely deep umami it and and Yeah, I still think tomato I,

01:46:33.025 --> 01:46:47.185
<v Shannon>I can yeah, I Think you're on to something I'm not a big I mean I'll be coming a fan.

01:46:47.706 --> 01:46:52.810
<v Shannon>Well, oh Oh, that's what I was gonna say, but I am but I'm not I mean,

01:46:52.810 --> 01:47:01.016
<v Shannon>I'm not gonna slice up a tomato and Just eat it like we're about to do I'll with salt Mm-hmm.

01:47:02.678 --> 01:47:08.022
<v Shannon>Yeah, that's that's not what I do. Normally. I will soak it in like I,

01:47:10.334 --> 01:47:14.447
<v Shannon>don't know Italian dressing Is that,

01:47:22.152 --> 01:47:22.972
<v Shannon>oh Mm-hmm.

01:47:22.972 --> 01:47:25.194
<v Jeff>Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I have to get back to it.

01:47:25.194 --> 01:47:31.919
<v Shannon>That's why I don't like it. I mean, actually, I've never salted a tomato.

01:47:32.359 --> 01:47:36.802
<v Greg>There's extra stuff there, but the umami thing is totally tomato.

01:47:36.802 --> 01:47:40.404
<v Jeff>And the acidity is right in line with the tomato acid.

01:47:41.966 --> 01:47:50.972
<v Jeff>And then there's that spicy thing, that ground imported, you know,

01:47:50.972 --> 01:47:56.156
<v Jeff>from the West and East Indies, you know, kind of a spice thing that's in there.

01:47:56.156 --> 01:48:03.901
<v Greg>Yeah. Maybe a little clovey or, or, or all spicy or something like that.

01:48:03.901 --> 01:48:04.222
<v Jeff>Yeah.

01:48:04.222 --> 01:48:06.704
<v Shannon>Something like that. All spice, maybe.

01:48:09.467 --> 01:48:12.629
<v Jeff>And then that's like the core, and then it goes into more traditional things

01:48:12.629 --> 01:48:18.493
<v Jeff>that are in my vocabulary of dry leather, granite, you know,

01:48:18.493 --> 01:48:20.254
<v Jeff>kind of mineral-y stuff like that.

01:48:20.254 --> 01:48:24.177
<v Greg>But especially this tomato aftertaste is just matching this exactly.

01:48:32.333 --> 01:48:35.375
<v Greg>Yeah, it's different. I'll give it that it's unbeknownst.

01:48:36.196 --> 01:48:43.741
<v Jeff>I'm finally different Okay, that's disappointing for me because well,

01:48:43.741 --> 01:48:50.526
<v Jeff>I mean because the last time I was oxbow We have a lot more oxbow,

01:48:50.526 --> 01:48:53.088
<v Jeff>so it's gonna it's gonna have some more winners and some more,

01:49:00.675 --> 01:49:05.998
<v Jeff>losers Wow Alligash and Oxbow is probably the in or probably well easily the

01:49:05.998 --> 01:49:10.161
<v Jeff>top three or Hill Farmstead Alligash and Oxbow are ones that we brought home.

01:49:10.161 --> 01:49:13.544
<v Jeff>We have a quantity of beers from those guys.

01:49:13.544 --> 01:49:17.347
<v Greg>All right. So we're going to rock, paper, scissors for who goes first.

01:49:17.347 --> 01:49:22.231
<v Shannon>Oh goodness. No. No. Okay.

01:49:22.231 --> 01:49:24.193
<v Jeff>Sure.

01:49:24.193 --> 01:49:25.453
<v Shannon>But I'm not playing. I'll go.

01:49:25.453 --> 01:49:26.854
<v Greg>Then you lose and you go first.

01:49:26.854 --> 01:49:30.957
<v Shannon>I lose and I get lost. No, that's not how it works. Ah, dang.

01:49:30.957 --> 01:49:34.620
<v Shannon>Hmm. I don't like this game.

01:49:34.620 --> 01:49:39.624
<v Jeff>So for me, this is interesting because there isn't, last week it was hard to

01:49:39.624 --> 01:49:41.645
<v Jeff>pick a loser, this week it's hard to pick a winner.

01:49:42.726 --> 01:49:50.212
<v Jeff>Mostly enjoyable, but none of them are like, what? Um, yeah.

01:49:50.212 --> 01:49:52.753
<v Greg>And how are we going to pick a fucking married kill on this one because,

01:49:52.753 --> 01:49:54.935
<v Greg>oh, that doesn't matter.

01:49:55.816 --> 01:49:56.876
<v Jeff>Don't overthink it, man.

01:49:56.876 --> 01:49:58.117
<v Shannon>I don't even want to go there.

01:49:59.618 --> 01:50:01.879
<v Greg>Well, too late. We've already added it to our canon.

01:50:02.480 --> 01:50:03.601
<v Shannon>We don't have to.

01:50:03.601 --> 01:50:05.622
<v Jeff>We do once it's part of the canon.

01:50:05.622 --> 01:50:09.484
<v Shannon>No, you know, we're the writers.

01:50:09.484 --> 01:50:11.305
<v Greg>Yeah. No, listen. And the producer.

01:50:12.466 --> 01:50:15.408
<v Shannon>It was at this moment that he knew he fucked up.

01:50:19.331 --> 01:50:22.674
<v Jeff>All right. I got my order. It's going to be surprising to everybody.

01:50:22.674 --> 01:50:27.537
<v Jeff>I think I am going to put, I'm going to change this one little thing.

01:50:27.537 --> 01:50:33.892
<v Jeff>I'm going to put the hearth and homestead of Bellflower in last place.

01:50:33.892 --> 01:50:36.924
<v Jeff>It is a hard luck loser. It's not deserving of being last place.

01:50:36.924 --> 01:50:41.228
<v Jeff>The reason I put it in last place is because I had to work out all that carbonation

01:50:41.228 --> 01:50:45.031
<v Jeff>to get it to where I enjoyed it. It wasn't packaged the right way.

01:50:45.231 --> 01:50:49.295
<v Jeff>And even after I worked out the carbonation, I still wanted more softness.

01:50:49.616 --> 01:50:53.840
<v Jeff>I wanted that Sabago from last week, you know, that, Yeah. And maybe that's

01:50:53.840 --> 01:50:57.544
<v Jeff>not fair, but life isn't fair. Yeah, exactly.

01:50:58.567 --> 01:51:04.712
<v Jeff>I'm going to put the unbeknownst in second to last place. This one is... curious.

01:51:09.322 --> 01:51:15.156
<v Jeff>Um, yeah, I like it. I don't know why I like it. I don't love it.

01:51:15.987 --> 01:51:17.728
<v Greg>Um, I'd be good to cook with.

01:51:19.019 --> 01:51:20.000
<v Jeff>Could be. Cook what?

01:51:21.761 --> 01:51:23.863
<v Shannon>Oh, yeah. Yeah.

01:51:23.863 --> 01:51:26.004
<v Greg>Make this into a sausage. Totally.

01:51:26.004 --> 01:51:29.807
<v Shannon>Instead of adding wine to your marinara sauce that you're making?

01:51:29.807 --> 01:51:31.629
<v Greg>Yeah. Yeah.

01:51:31.629 --> 01:51:36.633
<v Jeff>That earthy, that earthly nugget that's in there, whatever the fuck that is, I find it intriguing.

01:51:36.993 --> 01:51:42.818
<v Jeff>and I can't let go of it. So I have to be like, okay, I like the nugget,

01:51:42.818 --> 01:51:43.638
<v Jeff>whatever the hell that is.

01:51:44.239 --> 01:51:49.763
<v Jeff>I'm gonna put the needles in fourth place from Allagash.

01:51:50.204 --> 01:51:52.725
<v Jeff>I think I got the hard luck on the stratification.

01:51:53.566 --> 01:51:58.390
<v Jeff>Mine wasn't as vibrant as yours. Even after we blended, I still was not picking

01:51:58.390 --> 01:52:00.872
<v Jeff>up barrel. Maybe I'm just not in the mood to pick up rum barrels tonight.

01:52:00.872 --> 01:52:07.357
<v Jeff>but what I liked on it is that sour brune kind of thing.

01:52:08.739 --> 01:52:09.779
<v Jeff>Thought it was good.

01:52:11.220 --> 01:52:14.963
<v Jeff>I had high expectations. When I picked this bottle up off the shelf at Allagash

01:52:14.963 --> 01:52:18.966
<v Jeff>and saw rum barrel, I wanted it to bring the rum barrel.

01:52:19.607 --> 01:52:22.349
<v Jeff>I don't think it brought the rum barrel. I don't think anyone,

01:52:22.740 --> 01:52:26.212
<v Jeff>they could taste rum barrel, but I don't think they thought it brought rum barrel.

01:52:26.793 --> 01:52:33.017
<v Jeff>I'm going to put the Anna in, yeah, I'm going to stick with this.

01:52:33.017 --> 01:52:38.021
<v Jeff>Anna in third place. Um, it had that grapey thing that was kind of that nugget,

01:52:38.021 --> 01:52:39.902
<v Jeff>uh, in front of all the farmhouse stuff.

01:52:40.543 --> 01:52:44.426
<v Jeff>Um, the Motueka dry hopped was kind of playing in there as a stone fruit.

01:52:45.387 --> 01:52:50.010
<v Jeff>The Arthur in second place. I like this one quite a bit as a drinker,

01:52:50.290 --> 01:52:55.975
<v Jeff>really confounding on how to describe it eloquently in lots of words.

01:52:56.676 --> 01:53:00.719
<v Jeff>And you know, I don't expect this will be a popular choice amongst the team

01:53:00.719 --> 01:53:06.103
<v Jeff>tonight. I'm going to put the dinner in first place. I, I'm a hop head. I don't know.

01:53:06.443 --> 01:53:13.509
<v Jeff>I really enjoyed how it was that kind of old school, juicy, resiny hop flavor.

01:53:13.969 --> 01:53:18.612
<v Jeff>I thought Greg complained that it didn't bring the malt that it needed. I thought it did.

01:53:20.314 --> 01:53:24.836
<v Jeff>Um, it could have easily been down a couple places had any of these farmhouse

01:53:24.836 --> 01:53:28.371
<v Jeff>beers been outstanding, but since they ended up where they are,

01:53:28.371 --> 01:53:29.979
<v Jeff>I'm going to put the dinner in first place. Okay.

01:53:29.979 --> 01:53:30.279
<v Greg>You.

01:53:34.233 --> 01:53:40.818
<v Jeff>Let me grab a picture real quick before yeah Reorganize my bottles in that don't

01:53:40.818 --> 01:53:43.820
<v Jeff>say and Y'all it's what I do.

01:53:45.862 --> 01:53:50.965
<v Greg>No say I'm not I've ceased being precious about language All right.

01:53:51.316 --> 01:53:57.650
<v Greg>I got my photograph Photograph picture hat hand over those beers so I can put

01:53:57.650 --> 01:54:04.216
<v Greg>it into an order and sweet seed order All right, talk amongst yourselves while I figure myself.

01:54:04.216 --> 01:54:08.879
<v Jeff>I'm handing the bottles over to Greg gently and delicately. There's not much

01:54:08.879 --> 01:54:10.961
<v Jeff>room on this tiny kitchen table that we have.

01:54:11.581 --> 01:54:13.203
<v Shannon>Oh, we need more space.

01:54:13.703 --> 01:54:16.005
<v Jeff>Well, bigger table will give us less room to sit around it.

01:54:16.005 --> 01:54:19.768
<v Shannon>No, I'm talking about space in general and that.

01:54:21.149 --> 01:54:24.912
<v Jeff>Maybe we'll have a studio in Tori's room once she moves out for good.

01:54:26.754 --> 01:54:28.034
<v Greg>You hear that, Tori?

01:54:28.034 --> 01:54:28.575
<v Jeff>Get out.

01:54:38.603 --> 01:54:40.924
<v Jeff>Okay. Other things that are going on.

01:54:42.946 --> 01:54:46.949
<v Jeff>I brought back all those freaking IPAs and they were all four packs and things

01:54:46.949 --> 01:54:50.711
<v Jeff>like that. We brought back 16 cans of Crusher from the Alchemist.

01:54:50.972 --> 01:54:57.417
<v Jeff>So I have been like, I have to drink beer every night so I can drink these IPAs

01:54:57.417 --> 01:54:59.538
<v Jeff>before where they lose their edge, right?

01:54:59.979 --> 01:55:03.341
<v Jeff>And we just got through that. So like, I'm kind of looking forward to be like,

01:55:03.341 --> 01:55:09.045
<v Jeff>all right, everything that we have can chill for the next show, the next later.

01:55:10.327 --> 01:55:13.369
<v Jeff>We're not, like the clock isn't ticking. The clock isn't ticking.

01:55:13.369 --> 01:55:15.930
<v Jeff>So I'm kind of like, okay, now I can.

01:55:17.532 --> 01:55:19.292
<v Jeff>And yeah, did I have to buy all those beers?

01:55:19.292 --> 01:55:23.373
<v Shannon>No, when you're- I'm kind of guilty of ordering all those crushers.

01:55:25.014 --> 01:55:28.534
<v Jeff>Oh, those were the best order. Not complaining about the crushers.

01:55:30.095 --> 01:55:34.336
<v Jeff>Greg, would you like to know how many breweries we stopped at on our trip? What's the number?

01:55:34.336 --> 01:55:36.376
<v Shannon>What do you think? Fine, just take a guess.

01:55:36.376 --> 01:55:39.257
<v Jeff>We finally- You've heard us talk. Take a guess on a number.

01:55:39.257 --> 01:55:41.217
<v Shannon>We finally added them up last night.

01:55:44.290 --> 01:55:45.570
<v Greg>24. 42. The number!

01:55:50.275 --> 01:55:53.237
<v Shannon>I mean, you had the number!

01:55:53.237 --> 01:55:58.621
<v Jeff>That sounds ridiculous, right? Who would do 38 breweries? Stupid.

01:55:58.621 --> 01:55:58.841
<v Shannon>42.

01:55:58.841 --> 01:56:00.603
<v Jeff>What?

01:56:00.603 --> 01:56:01.143
<v Shannon>In 17 days.

01:56:02.584 --> 01:56:02.964
<v Greg>42.

01:56:03.325 --> 01:56:04.365
<v Shannon>In 17 days. Oh my.

01:56:07.328 --> 01:56:09.349
<v Shannon>And we still managed to hike over 50 miles.

01:56:10.611 --> 01:56:13.012
<v Greg>I mean, good, because you drank a lot of beer.

01:56:13.853 --> 01:56:18.176
<v Shannon>Well, I mean, some of those we had like one beer and got the heck out,

01:56:18.176 --> 01:56:21.618
<v Shannon>you know, it was more of a, let's check it off.

01:56:22.039 --> 01:56:24.200
<v Shannon>We'll have one. Okay. It's all right.

01:56:24.200 --> 01:56:24.761
<v Jeff>For beers.

01:56:24.761 --> 01:56:29.104
<v Greg>So for the beers, for the places you stayed at, what's the number?

01:56:30.325 --> 01:56:32.306
<v Jeff>Oh, well, it didn't count.

01:56:32.306 --> 01:56:35.989
<v Greg>I mean, but like, but those breweries that like, if you count,

01:56:35.989 --> 01:56:40.852
<v Greg>if you discount the ones you like one beer, like, I don't know, I don't have that.

01:56:40.852 --> 01:56:42.314
<v Shannon>It's probably 35. Okay. No, much less.

01:56:46.517 --> 01:56:47.958
<v Jeff>There weren't too many stinkers.

01:56:48.698 --> 01:56:51.280
<v Greg>You sure it's not... It's over 9,000! I want...

01:56:54.923 --> 01:56:59.686
<v Jeff>I probably could share it. I have on my Google Maps, I have a list of every

01:56:59.686 --> 01:57:05.470
<v Jeff>brewery that, um, I'm sorry, Shannon, a pre-DHA that I've been to.

01:57:05.991 --> 01:57:09.192
<v Jeff>And I was trying to make, like back in the day when we're doing our travels,

01:57:09.192 --> 01:57:12.134
<v Jeff>I was trying to hunt those down. Some of them aren't there anymore,

01:57:12.134 --> 01:57:13.975
<v Jeff>so it's hard to star those ones. Sure.

01:57:13.975 --> 01:57:16.718
<v Greg>Sure. All right.

01:57:16.718 --> 01:57:18.418
<v Shannon>Take a picture of your...

01:57:19.119 --> 01:57:20.259
<v Greg>So the last lawyer?

01:57:23.636 --> 01:57:29.680
<v Greg>Are you or what am I going to put the hearth of the homestead in last place?

01:57:29.680 --> 01:57:33.923
<v Greg>Because, yeah, I felt that that sweetness at the end kind of hurt it for me.

01:57:34.444 --> 01:57:39.848
<v Greg>And the dinner had that soul freeness that kind of hurt me. I want to express

01:57:39.848 --> 01:57:42.230
<v Greg>again, just like you said, none of these were bad.

01:57:43.801 --> 01:57:48.715
<v Greg>Although the hearth of the homestead, I probably think is not worth my sobriety.

01:57:50.136 --> 01:57:55.520
<v Greg>In in record in in reconstruction, like in just I just think that 12.5 is a

01:57:55.520 --> 01:57:57.201
<v Greg>lot to ask for this kind of sweetness.

01:58:01.124 --> 01:58:06.388
<v Greg>Next, so this is a weird thing, but I'm going to put the Anna and the two honey ones.

01:58:07.719 --> 01:58:11.211
<v Greg>Can put the Anna next in the unbeknownst in front of it. I kind of like the

01:58:11.211 --> 01:58:14.613
<v Greg>unbeknownst for what's for the weirdness of it for the the interesting stuff

01:58:14.613 --> 01:58:16.715
<v Greg>going on and the Anna I felt like.

01:58:18.276 --> 01:58:24.101
<v Greg>It was kind of Arthur plus, but I've put in the author in the second place because

01:58:24.101 --> 01:58:29.745
<v Greg>I do think the Arthur was interesting because it was something new and like,

01:58:29.745 --> 01:58:34.369
<v Greg>you could base a new style on that and that was really kind of cool,

01:58:34.369 --> 01:58:40.453
<v Greg>but it was also hard to figure out because you could base a new style on that.

01:58:40.453 --> 01:58:41.834
<v Greg>And so that's kind of weird.

01:58:43.876 --> 01:58:49.300
<v Greg>Um, it was a good drinker. It had really interesting stuff going on,

01:58:49.300 --> 01:58:50.421
<v Greg>but not interesting enough.

01:58:52.122 --> 01:58:56.165
<v Greg>I think needles comes the first place. I'd you didn't get the rum so much.

01:58:56.165 --> 01:59:03.511
<v Greg>I did. I liked it. I liked the rum that was there, but there's nobody here who

01:59:03.511 --> 01:59:08.894
<v Greg>just was like standing above anybody else. These are all pretty close.

01:59:09.596 --> 01:59:13.821
<v Greg>The only one I would say isn't so much worth it is Hearth of the Homestead only

01:59:13.821 --> 01:59:19.468
<v Greg>because it's 12.5 That was down to like I don't know 9 then I would say yeah

01:59:19.468 --> 01:59:24.033
<v Greg>go for it at 12.5 I think it's a little much to ask just because of the sweetness

01:59:24.033 --> 01:59:26.875
<v Greg>the over the over sweetness that I got okay.

01:59:27.761 --> 01:59:28.432
<v Shannon>Take a picture.

01:59:30.443 --> 01:59:36.828
<v Jeff>And probably last week, your top beer would have come in fourth or fifth place,

01:59:36.828 --> 01:59:41.912
<v Jeff>you know? So, like, this show is definitely behind last week's.

01:59:42.452 --> 01:59:45.534
<v Jeff>So, I don't know how much you remember, Greg, right? The Sabago was amazing.

01:59:46.636 --> 01:59:50.678
<v Jeff>This is actually a picture of your ranking. Then it was the Oxbow,

01:59:50.678 --> 01:59:57.003
<v Jeff>the Ninewild, then the Cheese, and then the Beardew Cappage, And then the Rye IPA.

01:59:57.824 --> 02:00:01.207
<v Jeff>So like where would you put needles in that listing? In front or behind the

02:00:01.207 --> 02:00:04.349
<v Jeff>Rye IPA, the beer? Do you remember the Ducapage at all? Oh yeah.

02:00:06.371 --> 02:00:09.273
<v Greg>The top beer from this week? Yeah, it would have been, oh yeah,

02:00:09.273 --> 02:00:11.335
<v Greg>fourth or fifth, something like that.

02:00:11.335 --> 02:00:15.338
<v Greg>Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There were so many other things that were,

02:00:15.338 --> 02:00:21.642
<v Greg>last week was just a bunch of really stellar stuff that all jumped.

02:00:22.343 --> 02:00:24.285
<v Greg>A lot of it, I guess, jumped.

02:00:24.285 --> 02:00:31.390
<v Jeff>I'm trying to remember everything, but Bellflower Saison was in your one,

02:00:31.390 --> 02:00:36.094
<v Jeff>two, three, four, fifth place beer, then definitive stainless IPA,

02:00:36.094 --> 02:00:37.975
<v Jeff>and then the Mass Riot was last place.

02:00:39.417 --> 02:00:42.218
<v Greg>It's not often that we're going to be doing every week show.

02:00:42.218 --> 02:00:44.260
<v Greg>It just so happens that the schedule's worked out.

02:00:44.260 --> 02:00:49.444
<v Jeff>So, uh, I mean, I don't want to make this part of canon.

02:00:49.444 --> 02:00:53.167
<v Jeff>It was just more of like, yeah, this show was a fine show.

02:00:53.167 --> 02:00:59.772
<v Jeff>The beers were fine beers, but in like expressiveness, in like memorability,

02:00:59.772 --> 02:01:05.616
<v Jeff>your top beer, my top beer is like, yeah, fifth place of last week's show, you know?

02:01:06.397 --> 02:01:10.260
<v Greg>And that's the, that's the nature, you know, when you do a million shows like we have.

02:01:13.124 --> 02:01:14.706
<v Greg>A million? Yeah. Yeah.

02:01:14.706 --> 02:01:16.087
<v Jeff>512 bytes worth of shows.

02:01:16.709 --> 02:01:22.916
<v Greg>You're gonna find that the way you judge things has a tendency towards it and has certain rules.

02:01:24.561 --> 02:01:26.983
<v Greg>and you gotta follow those rules if you wanna be a winner.

02:01:29.926 --> 02:01:37.744
<v Shannon>Alright my turn all right Last place I'm going to have to go with the unbeknownst

02:01:37.744 --> 02:01:43.075
<v Shannon>Tomato, so, you know, sorry, don't be sorry. We're opposites.

02:01:44.236 --> 02:01:51.580
<v Greg>I Didn't put in the first place Way above mine,

02:01:51.580 --> 02:01:56.624
<v Greg>okay There's a sorry didn't want to interrupt but but I do have to interrupt

02:01:56.624 --> 02:01:59.886
<v Greg>just for this because there's a very old movie called attack to kill our tomatoes.

02:02:00.347 --> 02:02:04.890
<v Greg>And it's kind of a dumb movie. It's really dumb movie. But there's one part

02:02:04.890 --> 02:02:13.256
<v Greg>that's funny where a guy is in like a huge crowded room and he just says,

02:02:13.256 --> 02:02:16.339
<v Greg>tomato and everyone runs away.

02:02:17.280 --> 02:02:21.442
<v Greg>I remember really laughing at that at least when I watched it when I was a kid.

02:02:21.783 --> 02:02:25.365
<v Jeff>So Shannon, I put it in fifth place for the record.

02:02:27.410 --> 02:02:29.293
<v Jeff>I'm sorry. Yeah, stop disparaging my character.

02:02:29.293 --> 02:02:32.720
<v Shannon>All right, last beer. I don't like them putting chemicals in the water THE TURN!

02:02:34.841 --> 02:02:41.287
<v Shannon>Do you understand that Are we done yet? All right. Last place.

02:02:41.287 --> 02:02:43.908
<v Shannon>I said unbeknownst Next to that.

02:02:44.269 --> 02:02:51.795
<v Shannon>I am going to have to go with the dinner from main beer I'm sorry.

02:02:51.795 --> 02:02:53.716
<v Shannon>It's I know it's a double IPA.

02:02:53.917 --> 02:03:02.543
<v Shannon>I'm a big IPA fan, but I'm a big does meaning IPA It was, it was too resiny for me.

02:03:02.543 --> 02:03:06.666
<v Greg>Really, you thought it was resiny, I just thought it was sulfury.

02:03:06.666 --> 02:03:11.050
<v Shannon>Well, sulfury and resiny, I got both and I'm, I wasn't a big fan.

02:03:11.050 --> 02:03:14.492
<v Shannon>So I have to, anyway, moving on.

02:03:15.553 --> 02:03:18.875
<v Shannon>Um, then I'm going to have to go, and this is really hard again,

02:03:18.875 --> 02:03:23.639
<v Shannon>like last week, because I mean, these were really good beers and,

02:03:23.639 --> 02:03:26.961
<v Shannon>and it's really hard for me to, to do this, to rank them.

02:03:27.662 --> 02:03:29.673
<v Shannon>So, but I'm going to go with Arthur.

02:03:33.366 --> 02:03:39.550
<v Shannon>Very drinkable and I enjoyed it, but unfortunately, it's just,

02:03:39.550 --> 02:03:42.812
<v Shannon>you know, up against a lot of really good beers.

02:03:43.653 --> 02:03:46.114
<v Shannon>And then in third place, I'm going with the Anna.

02:03:51.198 --> 02:03:56.541
<v Shannon>Just had a little more intensity to it than the Arthur did.

02:03:56.581 --> 02:03:57.962
<v Greg>Yes, it definitely was louder.

02:03:57.962 --> 02:04:04.007
<v Shannon>Yeah. Second place, I'm going with Needles from Allagash.

02:04:06.469 --> 02:04:10.772
<v Shannon>I really enjoyed that one. I like that rum barrel.

02:04:12.494 --> 02:04:14.235
<v Greg>You really felt it. I mean, I

02:04:14.235 --> 02:04:16.637
<v Greg>don't know where Jeff's coming from where he didn't taste the rum at all.

02:04:16.637 --> 02:04:21.961
<v Shannon>I think that's where the one that, is that the one you placed last? Or no?

02:04:21.961 --> 02:04:22.561
<v Jeff>No.

02:04:22.561 --> 02:04:27.331
<v Shannon>No, this is the, yeah, Our first and last are opposites. I don't,

02:04:27.331 --> 02:04:31.899
<v Shannon>but I really, really enjoyed that one.

02:04:34.734 --> 02:04:39.178
<v Shannon>And then in first place, I'm going to have to go Hearth of the Homestead,

02:04:39.178 --> 02:04:42.480
<v Shannon>which is against both of you. I know you really like...

02:04:42.480 --> 02:04:45.103
<v Greg>You have your own time. That's your own thing.

02:04:45.103 --> 02:04:51.487
<v Shannon>I just really enjoyed that blueberry muffin baked in that oak barrel.

02:04:52.368 --> 02:04:54.390
<v Jeff>I think it goes to show that, I mean...

02:04:57.372 --> 02:05:00.514
<v Jeff>It's a roll of dice. These beers were all solid beers.

02:05:00.514 --> 02:05:00.715
<v Greg>Yes.

02:05:01.395 --> 02:05:06.319
<v Jeff>You know, what we missed tonight was like... like a drooly delicious beer.

02:05:06.620 --> 02:05:09.541
<v Greg>Or something that was like, wow, that's intriguing.

02:05:10.002 --> 02:05:15.846
<v Greg>That's new, that's something, where is this going? What can I find here?

02:05:15.846 --> 02:05:19.569
<v Jeff>All right, so I guess we gotta do our MFKs now.

02:05:19.569 --> 02:05:20.130
<v Greg>Yes.

02:05:21.171 --> 02:05:25.073
<v Jeff>It's funny, we were like an hour into the show an hour ago. I'm like,

02:05:25.073 --> 02:05:26.174
<v Jeff>oh, we're making good time.

02:05:26.215 --> 02:05:29.677
<v Jeff>This show's not gonna be crazy long. And now we're two hours and five minutes.

02:05:29.677 --> 02:05:30.697
<v Shannon>Are we seriously?

02:05:30.818 --> 02:05:36.282
<v Jeff>Yes. We don't know how to do a 45 minute show anymore. That's because we actually

02:05:36.282 --> 02:05:38.843
<v Jeff>talk about stuff now. Yeah, you're right. You're totally right.

02:05:39.204 --> 02:05:43.287
<v Shannon>And there's three, three is a crowd, you know, I don't want to change it.

02:05:43.287 --> 02:05:47.860
<v Jeff>I mean, I would, if we can shorten the show without making it feel constricted,

02:05:47.860 --> 02:05:52.163
<v Jeff>I would like to do that, but we can't do six beers.

02:05:52.163 --> 02:05:52.994
<v Greg>If you want to do that.

02:05:53.354 --> 02:05:59.139
<v Jeff>I know I get you. I don't know what the answer is. I like, I love the time that

02:05:59.139 --> 02:06:02.522
<v Jeff>we have. I just worry that people are gonna be like 120 minutes.

02:06:02.522 --> 02:06:03.742
<v Shannon>Yeah, no, thanks.

02:06:06.265 --> 02:06:12.470
<v Greg>Well, look, I say this, listeners, I love you. If you don't wanna listen, that's fine.

02:06:14.632 --> 02:06:19.215
<v Shannon>But also, if you really have an opinion on it, tell us on Discord.

02:06:19.536 --> 02:06:20.678
<v Greg>Yeah, exactly.

02:06:20.678 --> 02:06:24.923
<v Shannon>Say, hey, listen, we really enjoy your show, but you need to shorten it,

02:06:24.923 --> 02:06:28.227
<v Shannon>cut it in half. Tell us. Tell us. We get the feedback.

02:06:28.849 --> 02:06:30.550
<v Jeff>I'm going to marry Arthur.

02:06:34.057 --> 02:06:36.338
<v Jeff>I am going to fuck.

02:06:40.242 --> 02:06:42.003
<v Greg>A progressive of you to marry Arthur.

02:06:42.003 --> 02:06:46.226
<v Jeff>But. All I see is deliciousness.

02:06:46.226 --> 02:06:49.449
<v Greg>Exactly, exactly.

02:06:49.449 --> 02:06:52.430
<v Jeff>What am I going to fuck? I am going to fuck.

02:06:55.713 --> 02:06:57.094
<v Greg>Who am I going to fuck?

02:06:57.895 --> 02:06:58.435
<v Jeff>Uh, dinner.

02:06:58.435 --> 02:07:01.498
<v Greg>That's that's the question, right? That's kind of life's biggest question.

02:07:01.498 --> 02:07:02.318
<v Jeff>Gonna fuck dinner.

02:07:03.159 --> 02:07:04.180
<v Greg>That's what 42 is going to do.

02:07:04.180 --> 02:07:09.604
<v Jeff>And I am going to kill Hearth and the Homestead.

02:07:09.604 --> 02:07:12.106
<v Shannon>That's why...

02:07:12.106 --> 02:07:13.326
<v Jeff>That's fighting words.

02:07:13.326 --> 02:07:18.150
<v Shannon>We're not compatible, apparently, for the first time ever.

02:07:18.150 --> 02:07:19.051
<v Greg>All right, all right.

02:07:19.051 --> 02:07:20.011
<v Shannon>Well, that and Gochis.

02:07:33.502 --> 02:07:36.163
<v Greg>Yeah. Okay, do-do-do... Umm... Do-do-do... Yeah, alright, so...

02:07:36.163 --> 02:07:40.946
<v Greg>Umm... I'm gonna fuck needles.

02:07:43.048 --> 02:07:48.492
<v Greg>Cause, uh... That rum thing is good. Yeah. This girl is...

02:07:48.492 --> 02:07:53.495
<v Shannon>Wild.

02:07:53.495 --> 02:07:55.416
<v Jeff>Especially when she gets her needles in the eye.

02:07:56.998 --> 02:08:01.241
<v Greg>Yeah, I mean, not a keeper, but fun, fun in the sack.

02:08:02.822 --> 02:08:08.126
<v Greg>Yeah, I'm going to marry Arthur because it's steady and consistent and there's

02:08:08.126 --> 02:08:15.851
<v Greg>something there. There's something there that's like very pretty and I don't mind being around.

02:08:18.994 --> 02:08:20.735
<v Greg>Yeah, hearth of the homestead, fuck you.

02:08:24.238 --> 02:08:25.458
<v Shannon>All right, you're dead.

02:08:25.818 --> 02:08:26.368
<v Greg>Execute order 66.

02:08:29.700 --> 02:08:37.144
<v Shannon>I'm going to marry needles Just because I don't want to get tired of fucking

02:08:37.144 --> 02:08:47.870
<v Shannon>Hearth Of the homestead And then I'm gonna kill the unpronounced.

02:08:51.292 --> 02:08:52.152
<v Jeff>Makes sense.

02:08:52.152 --> 02:08:53.573
<v Greg>That follows. All right.

02:08:55.574 --> 02:08:59.817
<v Jeff>That was episode two hundred and five hundred.

02:08:59.817 --> 02:09:00.378
<v Greg>Five hundred.

02:09:00.998 --> 02:09:03.581
<v Jeff>Two hundred and one. Zero zero.

02:09:03.881 --> 02:09:12.430
<v Greg>Five hundred twelve. So this is This is your new favorite?

02:09:13.271 --> 02:09:14.351
<v Shannon>He's my musical soulmate.

02:09:17.135 --> 02:09:18.276
<v Shannon>I just his,

02:09:21.487 --> 02:09:30.914
<v Shannon>His lyrics on this newest album, Stick City, or Stick Season, too much alcohol.

02:09:30.914 --> 02:09:34.317
<v Greg>My opinion about music is terrible, so don't listen to me.

02:09:36.339 --> 02:09:42.223
<v Shannon>Yeah, it speaks to my soul, because my heart's still in New England.

02:09:42.804 --> 02:09:44.625
<v Greg>This is really country to me. No, it's folk.

02:09:44.625 --> 02:09:45.525
<v Shannon>It's Folk. It's Folk.

02:09:46.987 --> 02:09:47.627
<v Jeff>This one.

02:09:47.627 --> 02:09:51.410
<v Shannon>It is. This one, yeah. If you were just listening to this one,

02:09:51.410 --> 02:09:52.591
<v Shannon>I could see what you could say.

02:09:52.591 --> 02:09:55.393
<v Jeff>This bridge is kind of Nashville, yeah.

02:09:56.434 --> 02:10:02.719
<v Shannon>Go to his song. Well, anyway.

02:10:02.719 --> 02:10:04.800
<v Greg>Oh, this is probably the weird USB bug.

02:10:04.800 --> 02:10:05.441
<v Jeff>It's back, baby!

02:10:11.045 --> 02:10:20.372
<v Shannon>Yeah, he's my musical soulmate. He actually replied to my comment on Facebook last week.

02:10:22.434 --> 02:10:26.056
<v Jeff>Look at her, I guess I gotta give her a hall pass if he's interested, right?

02:10:27.317 --> 02:10:29.178
<v Shannon>I'm a top fan on Facebook.

02:10:30.380 --> 02:10:33.822
<v Greg>I remember, I forget the comedian, but it was like, yeah, so my wife chose a

02:10:33.822 --> 02:10:36.084
<v Greg>hall pass, he chose like Leonardo DiCaprio.

02:10:36.084 --> 02:10:37.264
<v Shannon>Yeah, I know, yeah.

02:10:37.264 --> 02:10:41.828
<v Greg>And so I chose, you know, Fran from across the street, the babysitter.

02:10:44.911 --> 02:10:53.598
<v Shannon>The really sad thing is, this guy, he's younger than my middle child, so.

02:10:53.598 --> 02:10:55.859
<v Greg>Well, it's still a fuck.

02:10:58.081 --> 02:10:59.962
<v Jeff>It's tough to see he's blown up right now.

02:11:00.643 --> 02:11:02.604
<v Greg>The whole pass is not, I gotta marry this person.

02:11:03.565 --> 02:11:05.227
<v Shannon>It's just a fun fuck, right?

02:11:05.227 --> 02:11:07.549
<v Greg>Yeah.

02:11:07.549 --> 02:11:08.010
