WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.339 oh no it's doing updates in the middle of the 00:00:03.339 --> 00:00:41.750 show oh no stop it stop it hi Hey, Chris, how 00:00:41.750 --> 00:00:46.090 you doing? We made it. Technical difficulties. 00:00:46.149 --> 00:00:48.770 It's fine. Sometimes you just got to restart. 00:00:48.909 --> 00:00:51.630 Have you tried turning it off and on again? Correct. 00:00:52.890 --> 00:00:56.090 I guess I'm kind of curious as to how old that 00:00:56.090 --> 00:00:59.009 firmware is over there. Yeah, probably not the 00:00:59.009 --> 00:01:02.750 new one. Just saying. It kind of sits over here 00:01:02.750 --> 00:01:05.530 in this building without it. Hey, I'm going to 00:01:05.530 --> 00:01:06.750 go ahead and open this because I'm getting really 00:01:06.750 --> 00:01:12.390 thirsty. I'm drinking. And then hopefully you'll 00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:16.790 drink. Yeah. Full Grown Man Imperial Stout. I 00:01:16.790 --> 00:01:22.090 bought this over at the, what's that place called? 00:01:23.129 --> 00:01:26.730 Fresh? No, the one over here. World Market. Oh, 00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:31.730 World Market. Okay. Because it has a really big 00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:34.950 beard. It does. With like hops and wheat growing 00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:36.930 out of it, barley growing out of it. Yeah, it 00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:40.510 does. On the picture of it. So just look at your. 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:48.060 uh, uh, media. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah. On your, 00:01:48.140 --> 00:01:51.140 uh, device. Yes. To see what we're talking about. 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.140 Yeah. But this is full grown, uh, man, Imperial 00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:57.359 stout by Tufts brewery. The beard got me because, 00:01:57.420 --> 00:02:00.799 um, this past week I had to, I went to a funeral 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.319 and at the funeral I had, uh, somebody that I 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.719 know, um, say hello to me and then say hello 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.680 to my beard. Oh, a little beard. I feel like 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.060 we've reached a level there when it's being addressed 00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:18.199 separately. It sure sounds like it. So this is 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:22.219 Grow to Your Full Potential with this chewy, 00:02:22.460 --> 00:02:26.719 bearded, imperial wonder. I don't know if that 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.259 makes me want to drink it or not. Chewy. It says 00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:32.479 chewy. Hey, chewy. This is what we're starting 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:41.310 with, at least. All right, let's go for it. You 00:02:41.310 --> 00:02:50.789 know what? I'm going to forego the... Okay. Okay. 00:02:52.310 --> 00:02:56.530 Smells stouty. It definitely smells stouty. It's 00:02:56.530 --> 00:03:01.990 got some sweetness to it. Yeah. Oh, it's 12 .1 00:03:01.990 --> 00:03:05.349 % alcohol. Bingo. Boom shakalaka. I need you 00:03:05.349 --> 00:03:10.080 to know that. If things go off the rails on the 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.060 show, you know why. It's saying the IBU is 50. 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.319 That's not bad. And the SRM is 50. I don't know 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.659 what the SRM is. What's the SRM, Chris? I would 00:03:20.659 --> 00:03:21.780 have to look that one up. Yeah, I'm going to 00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:23.319 look it up. Let me go to the book of knowledge. 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.360 The book of knowledge. Is that Google? It's whatever 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:34.460 we use. Let's see. SRM. Okay. Standard Research 00:03:34.460 --> 00:03:38.560 Method. What? I don't think that's it. No, really, 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.800 that's what it says. It's SRM beer color scale. 00:03:42.539 --> 00:03:46.819 The standard research method. That's so weird. 00:03:47.139 --> 00:03:50.259 So what were they saying the rating was? It is 00:03:50.259 --> 00:03:54.719 a 50. Oh, so according to the site that I'm on, 00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:58.300 it stops at 40 plus, which means it's dark. It's 00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:03.080 pretty dark then. Hold on. I've got brewing with 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:12.199 breeze. Yeah, 50 is the darkest one on this, 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.379 at least this one. So that's interesting. Okay, 00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:19.120 there you go. I would not say it's overly bitter. 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:25.259 Usually IBU... 50 is not bad, though. It's not 00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:29.579 bad, but there's some IPAs that I know that are 00:04:29.579 --> 00:04:35.220 50 that I'm like... Yeah, I think Breakfast Out, 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.740 I think it's a 60. Oh, okay. So this isn't too 00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:41.540 bad. No, it's not bad at all. And I would say 00:04:41.540 --> 00:04:51.339 not bitter and not overly sweet. It's not the 00:04:51.339 --> 00:04:57.600 chocolatey stout that we've had in some others. 00:04:59.779 --> 00:05:02.139 Man, it's good. I like that. That's really good. 00:05:06.949 --> 00:05:09.889 You've got a full -grown man Imperial Stout by 00:05:09.889 --> 00:05:12.430 Tufts. You've got two more cans sitting there. 00:05:12.589 --> 00:05:16.009 Yeah, I do. So challenge accepted. This is going 00:05:16.009 --> 00:05:17.709 to be interesting. I'm going to have to stop 00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:24.250 talking at some point. Tufts is in McKinney, 00:05:24.310 --> 00:05:28.589 Texas, by the way. I don't drink anything really 00:05:28.589 --> 00:05:32.670 fast. I've never been a chugger. I don't know 00:05:32.670 --> 00:05:35.500 how people do that. Um, I don't like, I, I'm 00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:38.819 not, I don't have that gift. Yeah. Um, but even 00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:42.800 like with, with like, I'm really thirsty and 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.819 it's like really cold, whatever I'm drinking, 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.199 like it takes a while for me to get it. Yeah. 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.699 Finished. Yeah. Whereas, you know, we got some 00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:55.699 friends that it's like, did you, are you already 00:05:55.699 --> 00:05:58.860 done? Are you going to be okay? Have you ever 00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:02.060 had water before? Do you know how to pace yourself? 00:06:05.310 --> 00:06:10.310 Anyway, yeah, it's got my stamp of approval. 00:06:10.410 --> 00:06:14.449 You also brought me a Golden Monkey. Yes. I thought 00:06:14.449 --> 00:06:17.550 you would like it. So I could taste it. So I'm 00:06:17.550 --> 00:06:22.410 excited about it. We'll see if I get to it today. 00:06:24.230 --> 00:06:26.230 Depends on how long the show goes. Yeah, because, 00:06:26.389 --> 00:06:30.560 yeah. Anyway. Because we are rolling today with 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.379 no official content for the show. There is no 00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:37.199 safety net, folks. No. There's no. We're just 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.519 going to go wherever we go. Which is going to 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.319 be fun. And it may not have anything to do with 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.899 technology. I mean, there will probably be some 00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:48.899 technology. Because I know who we are. Well, 00:06:48.899 --> 00:06:50.779 yeah. There will probably be some technology 00:06:50.779 --> 00:06:54.139 involved. Just saying. I'm just fighting the 00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:58.720 Albie right now. Really? Yes. I'm signed in, 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.759 but it doesn't want to show me. Hey, it decided 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:06.139 it finally wanted to show me. Yeah, that's a 00:07:06.139 --> 00:07:08.220 little bit frustrating. Okay. All right. Well, 00:07:08.259 --> 00:07:13.199 I'm in there. Well, I guess I will lead with 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:18.740 recent things in my life. Yeah, go for it. I 00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:21.759 know you've shared your stuff with work. Yeah. 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.360 So I will share a little bit of mine without 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:29.720 going into too much detail. It's possible there 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.259 could be some changes coming in the future. On 00:07:32.259 --> 00:07:35.920 the horizon? Not 100%. Still to be determined. 00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:43.939 Yeah. I'm trying to quiet myself and listen. 00:07:44.139 --> 00:07:46.600 That's not an easy thing to do. Yeah. Some of 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.560 us aren't really great at... Knowing what to 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.579 do with change. Correct. Especially when it's 00:07:53.579 --> 00:07:59.839 vague. Yeah. So trying to quiet my mind, try 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.899 to listen to what the Lord has, understand what 00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:10.560 is it that he's doing. So probably more of that 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:16.040 to come over time as hopefully the Lord speaks 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.769 to me and makes things clear. Yeah. So, but all 00:08:19.769 --> 00:08:21.449 that to kind of lead into something that happened 00:08:21.449 --> 00:08:24.730 today. Yeah. I want to preface with, I am a Christian. 00:08:26.269 --> 00:08:28.990 All the way, I do believe in Jesus. I do believe 00:08:28.990 --> 00:08:31.470 he was the son of God. I do believe he came to 00:08:31.470 --> 00:08:33.409 die. Well, this is really great. I'm enjoying 00:08:33.409 --> 00:08:38.169 this. For our sins, so that we could have a right 00:08:38.169 --> 00:08:41.669 relationship with the Father. Wow. I believe 00:08:41.669 --> 00:08:45.470 that with all of my fibers, all of my being, 00:08:45.629 --> 00:08:49.980 I believe it. Yeah. Because he either is who 00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:55.000 he said he is. Yeah. Or he pulled off the greatest 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.779 hoax of all time. I mean. And I'm finding it 00:08:59.779 --> 00:09:03.960 hard to believe it was a hoax. Yeah. So leaning 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.659 in with I'm a believer. I don't believe in psychics. 00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:10.100 Right. I don't believe in that shenanigans. Yeah. 00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:14.120 If it's anything, it's probably demonic. Yeah. 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.830 I mean, there is necromancy in the. Bible. We 00:09:16.830 --> 00:09:20.710 just need to. Yes. Some of this evil stuff is 00:09:20.710 --> 00:09:23.190 out there. Absolutely. We're warned it's evil. 00:09:24.070 --> 00:09:26.330 Yes. So with that being said. You might have 00:09:26.330 --> 00:09:30.610 tapped into something evil. I hope not. I was 00:09:30.610 --> 00:09:33.450 having lunch with my wife today. Yep. We went 00:09:33.450 --> 00:09:37.690 to a really good Chinese restaurant on 155 called 00:09:37.690 --> 00:09:41.070 Fusion. If you guys haven't been there, you absolutely 00:09:41.070 --> 00:09:45.309 got to go. Fusion. The best Chinese. And Tyler, 00:09:45.490 --> 00:09:51.090 hands down. On 155. On 155, it is where Purple 00:09:51.090 --> 00:09:54.049 Pig used to be. Okay. Across from the body shop. 00:09:54.210 --> 00:09:58.190 Really south. Yes. Yeah, so it's Flint. Yeah, 00:09:58.330 --> 00:10:03.690 Flint, almost. I mean, it's right there by that 00:10:03.690 --> 00:10:08.850 Brookshire, so you're getting close to the bridges 00:10:08.850 --> 00:10:10.230 over the lake at that point. Yeah, the Coffee 00:10:10.230 --> 00:10:14.039 City stuff. Luis is the owner. Luis. Really, 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:17.980 really good dude. Okay. We've been going since 00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:22.080 he. Luis is not your typical Chinese name. No, 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.120 no, it's not. It's family owned. So his wife. 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:34.919 Luis and his wife Ming? No, no, no, no. I'm sorry. 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.460 I'm blanking on her name. I'll get to it. Yeah. 00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:43.059 But you got to go. If you liked Julian's when 00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:45.559 that was here, you're going to love this. It's 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:49.919 literally like Julian's 2 .0. And he used to 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.519 work at Julian's, so that's part of the reason 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.659 why. I'm about to take my wife on a date. I may 00:10:53.659 --> 00:10:57.340 just go that direction. And if you liked the 00:10:57.340 --> 00:11:00.179 spring rolls at Julian's, he's got it nailed. 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.360 Fantastic. I can't sing enough praises of his 00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.580 food and what he does. He's also a believer. 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.720 So when you're sitting there eating, you're going 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.320 to hear. christian music nice that's not bad 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.240 no not at all so anyways we're sitting there 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.419 and you get what happens at the end of a good 00:11:16.419 --> 00:11:20.080 chinese meal you get a fortune cookie absolutely 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.600 how american how american yes and so you know 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.139 i've been you know the situation kind of going 00:11:27.139 --> 00:11:30.320 lord i need you to yeah i need you to speak i 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.690 need i need It's cliche to say, Lord, I need 00:11:33.690 --> 00:11:36.289 you to give me a sign. Right. But you're there. 00:11:36.450 --> 00:11:38.629 But that's where I'm at. Yeah. And so I crack 00:11:38.629 --> 00:11:42.429 open my fortune cookie. And as customary, I look 00:11:42.429 --> 00:11:45.549 at my numbers on the back because I have a running 00:11:45.549 --> 00:11:48.649 gag that, Lord, you need to tell me when it's 00:11:48.649 --> 00:11:50.210 time to buy the lottery ticket. Right. Yeah, 00:11:50.269 --> 00:11:52.529 absolutely. And so I'm looking on the back with 00:11:52.529 --> 00:11:54.549 the numbers with a little note that says, buy 00:11:54.549 --> 00:11:57.970 the ticket, knowing it's never going to be there. 00:11:58.129 --> 00:12:02.289 Okay. But then I flip it around and I read The 00:12:02.289 --> 00:12:05.629 Fortune. And I have never come across one like 00:12:05.629 --> 00:12:08.210 this in all my life of going to Chinese places. 00:12:08.450 --> 00:12:11.509 Okay. Which is a lot of Chinese places. Over 00:12:11.509 --> 00:12:15.629 the years, absolutely. So it says, do your duty 00:12:15.629 --> 00:12:19.950 without being supervised. And that could be interpreted 00:12:19.950 --> 00:12:21.950 in I don't know how many different ways. Yeah, 00:12:21.950 --> 00:12:24.169 so many different ways. So I'm sitting here going. 00:12:25.689 --> 00:12:28.350 okay, are you talking to me, Lord? Am I making 00:12:28.350 --> 00:12:32.070 too much out of this? Just your coincidence here. 00:12:33.070 --> 00:12:39.970 So I will be looking for more to come. But there's 00:12:39.970 --> 00:12:42.990 lots of ways that this could be interpreted. 00:12:43.250 --> 00:12:45.169 It could literally be saying, hey, this is what's 00:12:45.169 --> 00:12:48.370 coming next. Get ready. Or it literally could 00:12:48.370 --> 00:12:51.929 be saying, hey, you need to dig in where you're 00:12:51.929 --> 00:12:57.360 at. You can do it. Okay, so I'm going to ask 00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.700 a personal question. Sure. And you feel free 00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:02.360 to tell me you know the answer to that, and I'm 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:08.379 not talking about it on the show. Yep. But one 00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:10.399 of the things that I know about you has to do 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:16.600 with some reservations that you have from growing 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.139 up and watching your father be self -employed. 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.500 Absolutely. So the idea, like your fortune saying, 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:29.179 do your duty without being supervised. Without 00:13:29.179 --> 00:13:32.559 being supervised, yes. I mean, I feel like if 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.480 you're talking about change at work and everything 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:38.500 like that, there's kind of an automatic question 00:13:38.500 --> 00:13:46.559 of, does it mean start your own business? That's 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.840 certainly one interpretation. Yeah. So what does 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:53.789 that do to you? Scares the mess out of me. Yeah. 00:13:55.049 --> 00:13:56.909 I'm not going to lie. I mean, that's a whole 00:13:56.909 --> 00:14:01.070 big ball of wax. So tell me about like growing 00:14:01.070 --> 00:14:05.250 up with a dad who had his own business. So you. 00:14:05.389 --> 00:14:08.210 Worked for himself. Yeah. I mean, it was obviously 00:14:08.210 --> 00:14:09.909 when you're smaller, you don't get it. But as 00:14:09.909 --> 00:14:14.029 you get into your teenage years, you start to 00:14:14.029 --> 00:14:17.990 pick up on things. And, you know, now I know 00:14:17.990 --> 00:14:24.269 why my dad kept stomach ulcer. um i know i fully 00:14:24.269 --> 00:14:26.690 get it now but even then we're starting to kind 00:14:26.690 --> 00:14:31.649 of connect the dots on you know we don't go out 00:14:31.649 --> 00:14:34.549 to eat like everybody else you know we don't 00:14:34.549 --> 00:14:39.269 get family trips like everybody else we we have 00:14:39.269 --> 00:14:41.490 a good christmas don't get me wrong but it's 00:14:41.490 --> 00:14:43.809 not like I see other people having Christmas. 00:14:43.929 --> 00:14:47.870 Didn't get that car for Christmas. Correct. What 00:14:47.870 --> 00:14:50.149 just happened? This is telling for those who 00:14:50.149 --> 00:14:53.710 lived in the 80s. The only reason that I got 00:14:53.710 --> 00:14:56.570 my first Nintendo was because they were able 00:14:56.570 --> 00:14:59.830 to get it through Fingerhut, which meant they 00:14:59.830 --> 00:15:04.450 had to pay monthly until it was paid off. Otherwise, 00:15:05.049 --> 00:15:07.629 they weren't going to have the money to go out 00:15:07.629 --> 00:15:11.090 and buy the Nintendo. Then I didn't get it. Now 00:15:11.090 --> 00:15:13.049 I totally get it. I'm like, wait a minute. I 00:15:13.049 --> 00:15:16.710 know what that is. Yes. So I had to see my dad 00:15:16.710 --> 00:15:19.909 be all aspects of the business. You know, you're 00:15:19.909 --> 00:15:23.990 the CEO, you're the marketing team, you're the 00:15:23.990 --> 00:15:27.370 sales team, you're the guy who does all the work, 00:15:27.409 --> 00:15:31.029 you know, and his line of work in carpentry. 00:15:31.929 --> 00:15:35.590 When it gets close to Thanksgiving, people start 00:15:35.590 --> 00:15:37.559 shutting down. Because they're shifting them 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.440 on into other places. All of a sudden. Yeah. 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:45.159 And so you got to be prepared that from November 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:49.240 through mid -February, you could potentially 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:52.100 have no work. You may get some little things 00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:54.220 sprinkled in, but it's not going to be like the 00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:57.519 rest of the year. And so that comes around and 00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.159 you're trying to be prepared and you're trying 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:03.139 to stretch and stretch and stretch. And they 00:16:03.139 --> 00:16:06.559 found ways to make it work. But it was incredibly 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.340 stressful. And it was just that waking up and 00:16:10.340 --> 00:16:14.059 going, I have no idea where the next job is coming 00:16:14.059 --> 00:16:18.379 from. I don't know if it's coming. My family's 00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:21.159 depending on me. I have to be able to deliver. 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:26.679 And just that burden that you carry, especially 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.539 when you're it and you don't have the luxury 00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:34.570 of money. Right. To put into it. You don't come 00:16:34.570 --> 00:16:37.690 from a rich family, so you don't have that bonus. 00:16:37.950 --> 00:16:39.750 Right. You know, for those who have that, that's 00:16:39.750 --> 00:16:42.690 awesome. Good for you. Yeah. Not a lot of us 00:16:42.690 --> 00:16:46.590 have that. No. You don't have the credit to go 00:16:46.590 --> 00:16:49.210 take out a business loan to try to give you some 00:16:49.210 --> 00:16:51.990 of the financial advantages that you're trying 00:16:51.990 --> 00:16:55.049 to put yourself in. So you're literally, literally, 00:16:55.250 --> 00:16:58.289 the beer hasn't kicked in yet. It's just a hard 00:16:58.289 --> 00:17:02.009 word to say. Oh, no. It's doing updates in the 00:17:02.009 --> 00:17:04.990 middle of the show. Oh, no. Stop it. Stop it. 00:17:06.309 --> 00:17:09.390 But, yeah, so, I mean. Now is the time, for sure. 00:17:09.509 --> 00:17:12.349 This is when you wanted that. I was actually 00:17:12.349 --> 00:17:17.210 thinking, please, Rode, don't. Yeah, so, yes, 00:17:17.250 --> 00:17:19.490 I mean, there's just that reality that I saw 00:17:19.490 --> 00:17:21.970 day in and day out. Yeah. Now, other people, 00:17:22.049 --> 00:17:25.130 they may have been on the other end of that spectrum. 00:17:25.329 --> 00:17:28.150 Right. You know, their dad. owned a business 00:17:28.150 --> 00:17:32.150 and it was totally awesome and never had to worry 00:17:32.150 --> 00:17:33.650 about things. And if you did, it was probably 00:17:33.650 --> 00:17:36.490 very rare. And so that, that person is going 00:17:36.490 --> 00:17:40.109 to come at it with a whole nother outlook on 00:17:40.109 --> 00:17:44.109 owning your own business. I didn't have that. 00:17:44.750 --> 00:17:48.650 So a lot of, for me, it's based off of lived 00:17:48.650 --> 00:17:52.069 experience. Yeah. Now that doesn't mean that 00:17:52.069 --> 00:17:55.069 you can't own a business and it'd be rewarding. 00:17:55.190 --> 00:17:58.019 It absolutely can be. Yeah. And there's people 00:17:58.019 --> 00:18:01.740 who do it all the time. And I tip my hat to them. 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:05.960 But it's not something that gives me energy to 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:07.400 think about. It's not something that gets me 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:14.339 excited. I'm not adamantly opposed to it. I would 00:18:14.339 --> 00:18:16.380 certainly love the easy way out to go work for 00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:18.940 somebody else and let that person worry about 00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:22.500 all the headache. But yeah, that's just kind 00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:26.460 of, that's where I go. If you interpret that 00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:30.539 as get ready, buddy, here it comes. There's going 00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:33.000 to be some stressful days ahead. Stressful days 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:35.460 ahead for sure. And I mean, there's going to 00:18:35.460 --> 00:18:40.799 be no matter what. But yeah, so my perspective 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:46.720 on owning a business or starting a business is 00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:52.559 a little bit mixed because I have my father. 00:18:54.599 --> 00:19:03.200 is a pastor. So, or was a pastor. So the, there's 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.400 an element of that. He was self -employed for 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:14.500 his entire career. And for those of you that 00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:18.319 don't know, ministers are technically self -employed. 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.700 which is a little bit strange. And there's all 00:19:22.700 --> 00:19:25.579 kinds of stuff involved with that, and I'm not 00:19:25.579 --> 00:19:28.359 even the right person to ask for that, or ask 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:32.319 why about that, because I wasn't actually taught 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.220 any of this. I found all of this out after the 00:19:36.220 --> 00:19:38.079 fact. So growing up, I didn't know that my dad 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:41.259 was self -employed. I thought that he was employed 00:19:41.259 --> 00:19:45.160 by the church, which is also kind of true. And 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.200 he always was. But his dad... owned a bakery. 00:19:49.380 --> 00:19:53.000 And I never saw that bakery. It was actually 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:58.200 torn down before I was born. But the truth of 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:04.200 the matter is he owned his own business. He went 00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:08.039 into business with his older brother first before 00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:12.519 the war. And then after the war and after he 00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:15.700 married my grandmother and after my dad was born. 00:20:16.349 --> 00:20:19.950 Then he expanded the business or the bakery from 00:20:19.950 --> 00:20:23.369 Mount Pleasant, Texas to Longview, Texas as well. 00:20:24.150 --> 00:20:30.369 And basically owned two bakeries and they, you 00:20:30.369 --> 00:20:33.690 know, the Longview bakery made the bread and 00:20:33.690 --> 00:20:36.490 the Mount Pleasant bakery made the pastries and 00:20:36.490 --> 00:20:39.049 they ship things back and forth to each other. 00:20:39.569 --> 00:20:41.869 But that was always something like I knew that 00:20:41.869 --> 00:20:45.710 growing up. I knew that my grandfather was an 00:20:45.710 --> 00:20:51.849 entrepreneur, I guess, inside of that. I didn't 00:20:51.849 --> 00:20:56.150 know much about anything else. I just kind of 00:20:56.150 --> 00:20:58.309 always saw him as like he's the entrepreneur. 00:20:58.509 --> 00:21:04.069 It turns out he was the baker. His older brother, 00:21:04.210 --> 00:21:06.750 one of his older brothers that he was in business 00:21:06.750 --> 00:21:11.450 with was like the business guy, evidently. And 00:21:11.450 --> 00:21:14.930 then his two younger brothers, He had four brothers. 00:21:15.910 --> 00:21:19.450 His two younger brothers were the ones that actually 00:21:19.450 --> 00:21:22.549 went after he started everything or got everything 00:21:22.549 --> 00:21:25.009 running in Longview. They moved to Longview to 00:21:25.009 --> 00:21:30.069 run that. So it was like a thing that the Redfern 00:21:30.069 --> 00:21:35.269 boys had these bakeries over two cities. And 00:21:35.269 --> 00:21:37.710 so there's the like side of it to me that's really 00:21:37.710 --> 00:21:43.519 like, I guess, romantic. Sure. um with owning 00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:48.720 your own business but i also know like the i 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.480 guess like you were talking about the fear of 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:57.079 well it's just on you like yeah this is a thing 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:01.339 and you gotta keep going forward and if you don't 00:22:01.339 --> 00:22:09.200 keep going forward game over game over um It's 00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.359 really funny. I think part of the fear involved 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.099 with me at least is because I'm, you know, I 00:22:15.099 --> 00:22:20.920 was born in 1983, not in 1910, my grandfather. 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.759 And he was like, man, bakeries are easy because 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:34.539 you get a day off. I don't know many guys that. 00:22:34.910 --> 00:22:37.349 Or super excited about only having one day off. 00:22:38.769 --> 00:22:43.789 True. It does seem like this is a scary idea. 00:22:44.009 --> 00:22:46.269 Like, oh, you just got to keep working or there 00:22:46.269 --> 00:22:48.930 is no money. You got to keep leaning in, pressing 00:22:48.930 --> 00:22:54.549 hard. So there's a lot there. Actually got reading 00:22:54.549 --> 00:22:58.250 a book right now called Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I'm 00:22:58.250 --> 00:22:59.410 sure you've heard of this. I've heard of it, 00:22:59.410 --> 00:23:03.430 yeah. Have you read it yet? I have not. Um, a 00:23:03.430 --> 00:23:07.549 book on how to not how to, it's not a how to, 00:23:07.630 --> 00:23:10.730 but it is changing the way you perceive money, 00:23:10.809 --> 00:23:12.789 right? Changing the way you perceive money and 00:23:12.789 --> 00:23:16.150 changing from seeing money as what you work for. 00:23:16.529 --> 00:23:20.130 And instead, or instead of seeing money as what 00:23:20.130 --> 00:23:22.029 you work for, seeing it as something that works 00:23:22.029 --> 00:23:25.529 for you, which, I mean, there's a lot of things, 00:23:25.549 --> 00:23:27.529 I mean, only in the second chapter. And there's 00:23:27.529 --> 00:23:30.009 a lot of things I'm like, ah, that doesn't make. 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.640 I'm kind of standing on my head right now. I'm 00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.640 going to believe this guy. He's smarter than 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.180 me. I'm going to believe this guy. He's smarter 00:23:38.180 --> 00:23:42.720 than me. So, yeah, I've been doing a lot of that 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:45.180 recently of trying to read different books and 00:23:45.180 --> 00:23:50.960 figure out why certain things don't make sense 00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:53.759 to me the way that I feel like they should because 00:23:53.759 --> 00:24:01.109 I'm not a dummy. But we got some. Bad habits, 00:24:01.349 --> 00:24:05.410 I would say. Oh, absolutely. You know, and not 00:24:05.410 --> 00:24:09.289 everybody is cut out to be an entrepreneur. No. 00:24:09.390 --> 00:24:13.269 You can certainly take a stab at it. Yeah. Some 00:24:13.269 --> 00:24:17.549 people can certainly grow into it. Right. It 00:24:17.549 --> 00:24:19.589 doesn't mean that it can't be done. Yeah. It 00:24:19.589 --> 00:24:22.109 just comes down to a level of commitment. Yeah. 00:24:22.410 --> 00:24:26.289 And like you said, in that level of commitment. 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.539 uh comment i think there's there's a lot of like 00:24:29.539 --> 00:24:33.339 how do you start something like this without 00:24:33.339 --> 00:24:36.079 abandoning every everything the things that are 00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:38.980 paying your bills correct and then when is it 00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:44.440 time to burn the ships this is why i joke about 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.119 winning the lottery by osmosis oh yeah no absolutely 00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:48.559 because then you've got money you go yeah i can 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:53.019 open a business why not why not it's fine we'll 00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:56.329 see what happens yeah Doesn't matter if it makes 00:24:56.329 --> 00:25:01.190 money or not. I got money. Got money to burn. 00:25:01.750 --> 00:25:04.450 But that is, I will tell you, in thinking about 00:25:04.450 --> 00:25:06.930 this, what is actually exciting to me is the 00:25:06.930 --> 00:25:15.589 idea of enabling people that I really admire 00:25:15.589 --> 00:25:19.809 with, like, I would want to work with my friends. 00:25:20.109 --> 00:25:23.640 Sure. And I would want to enable my friends to 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:30.220 do the kind of work that they want to do in the 00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:33.839 way that they would want to do it. And in the 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:35.640 timing that they would want to do it and with 00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:37.319 the level of commitment that they would want 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.339 to do it and all of those things. So, you know, 00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:42.980 I'm sure that's how a lot of businesses start 00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:45.880 and then it turns into a different thing. Yep. 00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:47.759 Starts in the garage and then it just takes off. 00:25:48.269 --> 00:25:50.269 And then all of a sudden you're Steve Jobs yelling 00:25:50.269 --> 00:25:52.250 to people all the time, telling them what they 00:25:52.250 --> 00:25:55.329 want and don't want. And I'll go the Wozniak 00:25:55.329 --> 00:25:59.130 path. Yeah, for sure. You're the Wozniak. Yeah. 00:26:00.410 --> 00:26:05.609 Oh my gosh. For everyone that was listening too 00:26:05.609 --> 00:26:09.230 hard into that conversation, I'm not Steve Jobs, 00:26:09.309 --> 00:26:12.170 nor will I ever be. Please don't hear me trying 00:26:12.170 --> 00:26:16.700 to. whatever that would be. You're going to bring 00:26:16.700 --> 00:26:19.779 back the old hashtag RedfernRage. RedfernRage. 00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:26.019 In as much as he had a temper, yes, that's very 00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:28.680 much like me. But there's a level of genius that 00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:32.680 I'm not living with over here. I just have a 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.240 temper. Not many people have that level of genius, 00:26:36.299 --> 00:26:39.200 so let's be honest. I mean, not many people have 00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:44.799 Wozniak. That's true, too. So, both. Both genius. 00:26:45.339 --> 00:26:47.380 Yes, absolutely. And now we have a company that 00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:51.039 has almost failed quite a few times. Yeah. So 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:54.339 let that be a lesson to all of us as well. I'm 00:26:54.339 --> 00:26:57.180 just watching from the outside. It's coming. 00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:00.559 Keep going, Tom Collins. You're doing a great 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.579 job. Right. Nice. There are a few things that 00:27:04.579 --> 00:27:08.019 start in garages. Seems like tech companies and 00:27:08.019 --> 00:27:12.869 bands. Bands, yeah. For sure. And people who 00:27:12.869 --> 00:27:15.230 brew their own beer. And people who brew their 00:27:15.230 --> 00:27:19.450 own beer. And cars. Cars, yes. They usually start 00:27:19.450 --> 00:27:23.849 in the garage. Cricket. Where's the cricket button? 00:27:25.670 --> 00:27:30.130 Oh, it's not even up. Oh, epic fail. That is 00:27:30.130 --> 00:27:35.670 really sad. Wah, wah. I don't. See, this is why 00:27:35.670 --> 00:27:40.890 you need the. There it is. This is somebody else's 00:27:40.890 --> 00:27:48.390 Rodecaster. Sorry. Yes. Anyway, we don't have 00:27:48.390 --> 00:27:55.089 your stream deck to push all the buttons. Halfway 00:27:55.089 --> 00:27:56.490 through it, what do you think? Or are you all 00:27:56.490 --> 00:27:58.150 the way through it? I'm pretty close. Pretty 00:27:58.150 --> 00:28:01.450 close. It's good. It's good. Tastes just like 00:28:01.450 --> 00:28:04.430 you would expect a stout to taste. It's not, 00:28:04.430 --> 00:28:07.750 to me, I would have thought it would be less 00:28:07.750 --> 00:28:11.009 than 50 on the bitter. yeah it seems like it's 00:28:11.009 --> 00:28:14.329 more like a 30 i would agree which is like i 00:28:14.329 --> 00:28:17.529 don't know i was i was a little bit uh apprehensive 00:28:17.529 --> 00:28:21.029 on the 50 but then okay so it's got this cute 00:28:21.029 --> 00:28:23.849 little thing on the bottom you know below that 00:28:23.849 --> 00:28:27.430 that says malt profile profile and it's body 00:28:27.430 --> 00:28:30.690 roast and color and they're all maxed out it's 00:28:30.690 --> 00:28:33.829 all five But on the balance, it has bitter and 00:28:33.829 --> 00:28:36.309 sweet, and it's only two on the bitter and three 00:28:36.309 --> 00:28:43.009 on the sweet of five. So I don't know. I think 00:28:43.009 --> 00:28:45.869 what I'm enjoying about it is that it is not 00:28:45.869 --> 00:28:48.390 as sweet as some other stouts that I've had. 00:28:48.569 --> 00:28:51.970 Sure. And that doesn't mean that the bitter has 00:28:51.970 --> 00:28:54.650 taken over, which is what I was kind of nervous 00:28:54.650 --> 00:28:59.529 about IBU 50. Well, I would say that I can, in 00:28:59.529 --> 00:29:03.490 typical of a stout, You know, that roast flavor 00:29:03.490 --> 00:29:06.470 is in there. Yeah, it's got a lot of roast. But 00:29:06.470 --> 00:29:10.450 it's not too much. It's not smoky. No, it's not. 00:29:10.730 --> 00:29:14.230 It's like, it's just, you can kind of taste that, 00:29:14.309 --> 00:29:21.769 not fire, but the char. Roast is the right word. 00:29:21.910 --> 00:29:24.569 Yeah, roast. Char makes it sound like it's burnt. 00:29:25.690 --> 00:29:29.650 I don't know. But it's good. I'm a fan of this 00:29:29.650 --> 00:29:32.809 beer. I was a little bit nervous with the way 00:29:32.809 --> 00:29:37.430 that the hops and the barley are coming out of 00:29:37.430 --> 00:29:41.849 his beard. I was like, is that weed? What exactly 00:29:41.849 --> 00:29:44.869 am I about to drink? That's a full -grown man. 00:29:45.109 --> 00:29:48.769 That's a full -grown man. So you're saying this 00:29:48.769 --> 00:29:51.170 is not what you had. We were nervous because 00:29:51.170 --> 00:29:56.680 it reminded. Chris, of a beer that he had in 00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:01.460 South Carolina? Yeah, it's in Georgia. Georgia, 00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:04.579 sorry. We went to... Oh, there's a pizza place 00:30:04.579 --> 00:30:05.819 there. I'm not going to come up with a name. 00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:11.160 Copper Pot. I was like... Copper Pot. Domino's? 00:30:11.299 --> 00:30:13.900 No, no, no, no, no. Copper Pot. And yes, that 00:30:13.900 --> 00:30:16.299 is a reference to Goonies. Okay, that's awesome. 00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:18.740 They actually have a room that has a bunch of 00:30:18.740 --> 00:30:22.660 Goonies pictures and stuff in there. Where in 00:30:22.660 --> 00:30:26.900 Georgia is this? Oh, what is that town? It is 00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:34.019 south of Toccoa. I'm not going to be able to 00:30:34.019 --> 00:30:37.420 give you the name. I've been twice. Pizza is 00:30:37.420 --> 00:30:40.259 excellent. Yeah, you keep talking about the pizza. 00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:44.539 I'm going to look it up. So obviously they do 00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:47.720 their own dough. It's not rolling off the truck. 00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:53.980 And then, of course, they've got their own. Cookers, 00:30:53.980 --> 00:31:02.400 whatever you want to call it. Oven. Clarksville. 00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:06.559 There you go, Clarksville. Similar to if you've 00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:09.640 ever gone to True Vine and had the pizza at Solo. 00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:13.359 Oh, man, Solo pizza is delicious. Those type 00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:18.740 of fire stick burning pizza oven. There you go. 00:31:18.779 --> 00:31:21.700 Come on, True Vine and Solo. Solo is very good. 00:31:23.339 --> 00:31:26.440 This pizza was good. I know the guy on the can 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.000 had a beard, but I'm thinking that the can may 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.740 have been green. And you didn't like it. Did 00:31:33.740 --> 00:31:38.200 not like it. Was there one time with Drake, and 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.900 he had it, and not too long after getting halfway 00:31:41.900 --> 00:31:44.960 through, it kind of soured his stomach. Ooh. 00:31:45.500 --> 00:31:49.279 Yeah. Let's drink. Hold on. I had it on a separate 00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:56.880 trip. with Nick Wiggins. It says that they've 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.400 got regional beers. Wasn't impressed. Which makes 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:04.559 me think this is like a Georgia beer or something 00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:10.220 that you had. It's possible. Athletic brewing. 00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:19.740 I feel like I've heard of that. No. None of those 00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:23.920 sound Like a dark beer. Athletic Brewing Run 00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:28.059 Wild. Athletic Brewing Free Wave Hazy IPA. Oh, 00:32:28.059 --> 00:32:32.279 no IPAs. Athletic Brewing Light. No. Golden Road 00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:37.980 Mango Cart Wheat Beer. There is no way. Nope. 00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:42.799 Not doing it. And then Bold Rock in a Cider. 00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:49.500 Does GF mean gluten -free? I would assume. The 00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:56.640 beer is gluten -free. Okay. We live in a different 00:32:56.640 --> 00:33:03.299 world. Yep. Anyway. Hey, they've got like pictures 00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:05.480 of their bartenders on this site and everything. 00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.400 I'm not going to lie. We've talked a little bit 00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:16.740 about food on this episode. We have. Food is 00:33:16.740 --> 00:33:18.599 probably the other thing that I would be willing 00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:24.759 to talk about. It's Green Man is the beer company. 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:28.579 Green Man? Green Man. I'm trying to find the 00:33:28.579 --> 00:33:34.839 actual. Is it weed? No. Don't say no too fast. 00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:42.640 No. Green Man Brewery. It's not the Pale Ale. 00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:46.819 I think. It might have been the lager. Yeah, 00:33:49.339 --> 00:33:51.579 but that's it. It's Green Man Brewery out of 00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:56.160 Asheville, North Carolina. I'm leaning towards 00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:59.839 it was either the lager or the porter. And I 00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:06.980 just remember just not being into it. I mean, 00:34:07.019 --> 00:34:09.760 that's a bummer for them. Yeah. Every once in 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:12.380 a while. No, they do on the site. Do you have 00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:16.300 a dry Irish stout? I do want to give that a try. 00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.500 A dry Irish stout. What is a dry Irish stout? 00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:23.760 Our take on the, quote, black stuff is a creamy, 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:28.019 smooth nitro, beauty full of roasted malty deliciousness. 00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:32.760 So you can't get that in a can. You can't even 00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:37.190 get that in a bottle if it's nitro. Well, you 00:34:37.190 --> 00:34:38.730 might be able to. You can do it in a bottle. 00:34:38.989 --> 00:34:41.289 Yeah, you could. You could. I've seen those. 00:34:41.369 --> 00:34:43.070 I mean, you've seen the bottles. Well, actually, 00:34:43.130 --> 00:34:44.949 they've got cans, too. Well, Guinness. That have 00:34:44.949 --> 00:34:47.670 the, like. The little nitro pellet inside. The 00:34:47.670 --> 00:34:49.070 nitro pellet. Yeah, that's true. You could do 00:34:49.070 --> 00:34:50.650 that. Which is like, you have to open that the 00:34:50.650 --> 00:34:53.230 right way. Like, at that point, somebody should 00:34:53.230 --> 00:34:56.949 have warned me. Yeah. Like, I don't. This beer 00:34:56.949 --> 00:35:00.869 is too technical for you. Well, Guinness does 00:35:00.869 --> 00:35:02.829 that with a Guinness draft. Yeah, that's what 00:35:02.829 --> 00:35:05.519 I'm saying. You've got to. You open it, and of 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:09.739 course, it cracks open that pellet, and you get 00:35:09.739 --> 00:35:13.619 your nitro. Irish -style dry stout. Dry stout 00:35:13.619 --> 00:35:17.079 is black beer with dry roasted character thanks 00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:20.639 to the use of roasted barley. The emphasis on 00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:23.519 coffee -like roasted barley and a moderate degree 00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:26.960 of roasted malt aromas define much of the character. 00:35:27.300 --> 00:35:32.429 Hot bitterness is medium to medium -high. This 00:35:32.429 --> 00:35:35.590 beer is often dispensed via nitrogen gas taps 00:35:35.590 --> 00:35:39.610 that lend a smooth, creamy body to the palate. 00:35:39.889 --> 00:35:44.349 Okay. I'm a sucker for nitro beers. Which one 00:35:44.349 --> 00:35:47.469 did you say? Because this has got examples of 00:35:47.469 --> 00:35:50.190 like Blarney Sisters. It was either the lager 00:35:50.190 --> 00:35:55.730 or it was the... Oh, no. I'm just on craftbeer 00:35:55.730 --> 00:35:58.969 .com. So this is looking up all the different... 00:35:59.469 --> 00:36:01.929 I just didn't know if the one that you were looking 00:36:01.929 --> 00:36:05.010 at was one of the examples. Yeah. Yeah, it was 00:36:05.010 --> 00:36:07.949 either their lager. Let me pull that site back 00:36:07.949 --> 00:36:11.969 up. This is our use of technology for this. Yeah, 00:36:12.010 --> 00:36:14.710 we're kind of going off the rails here. This 00:36:14.710 --> 00:36:16.630 is not off the rails. We are talking about beer. 00:36:18.309 --> 00:36:23.289 Jason. Let's see. Beer. Beer me that episode. 00:36:23.550 --> 00:36:32.940 Beer me that. Beverages, yes. It was either the 00:36:32.940 --> 00:36:37.719 porter or the logger. Beverages. There you go. 00:36:38.099 --> 00:36:45.360 It was mighty tasty. Yeah. All right. Well, I 00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:48.380 think I'm going in for number two. Yeah, I got 00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:52.079 to pound this really fast. You want to talk to 00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:57.210 us about number two? That sounds appropriate. 00:36:57.909 --> 00:37:02.269 Well, it's not more appropriate. It's not more 00:37:02.269 --> 00:37:06.090 or less appropriate than the number two beer. 00:37:06.309 --> 00:37:09.929 Okay, so in all fairness, I didn't buy this beer. 00:37:13.269 --> 00:37:15.690 I'm totally pulling an Adam, and I'm blaming 00:37:15.690 --> 00:37:20.530 the other person. I was drinking that. You can't 00:37:20.530 --> 00:37:24.210 do that to me. I'm trying to find information 00:37:24.210 --> 00:37:28.210 on it real quick, folks. Bear with me. On number 00:37:28.210 --> 00:37:30.210 two, Beard? Yeah, on number two. Okay, here's 00:37:30.210 --> 00:37:32.909 what I'll tell you. It is a Belgian style ale. 00:37:32.909 --> 00:37:37.170 Yes, it is a Belgian style. It's 6 .9 % by volume. 00:37:37.269 --> 00:37:40.750 Yes, it is. And only 20 IBUs. So, yeah, low on 00:37:40.750 --> 00:37:42.349 the beer. Basically like drinking water. It's 00:37:42.349 --> 00:37:48.750 brewed in Michigan. Pure Michigan. artesian spring 00:37:48.750 --> 00:37:51.130 water that makes me want to throw something at 00:37:51.130 --> 00:37:53.190 somebody artesian spring water are you kidding 00:37:53.190 --> 00:37:55.630 me yeah okay so i can actually i feel like i 00:37:55.630 --> 00:37:59.090 can read this blurb yeah a deep reddish malty 00:37:59.090 --> 00:38:02.369 and complex belgian style ale six different types 00:38:02.369 --> 00:38:07.469 of malted barley belgian is that yeah yeah belgian 00:38:07.469 --> 00:38:10.630 candied syrup and belgian yeast are combined 00:38:10.630 --> 00:38:13.409 to produce a very smooth complex and slightly 00:38:13.409 --> 00:38:19.110 sweet ale okay so this is the dessert Yeah, maybe. 00:38:19.409 --> 00:38:22.869 Okay. I still see a couple more grown men. It 00:38:22.869 --> 00:38:28.949 is. It is the Petoskey Brewing. Petoskey Brewing, 00:38:28.949 --> 00:38:32.389 which sounds very Michigan. It does. It definitely 00:38:32.389 --> 00:38:37.289 does. And the beer is called Horny Monk. So if 00:38:37.289 --> 00:38:39.349 you took that the wrong way, you need to check 00:38:39.349 --> 00:38:42.610 the condition of your heart. Because I'm looking 00:38:42.610 --> 00:38:46.969 at the can. The can has devil horns on a monk. 00:38:47.590 --> 00:38:52.530 I mean, it's underneath his cassock. Yes. But 00:38:52.530 --> 00:38:55.690 again, if you took it wrong, you need to check 00:38:55.690 --> 00:38:57.869 the condition of your heart. Well, the condition 00:38:57.869 --> 00:39:00.690 of my heart knew exactly what was being inferred 00:39:00.690 --> 00:39:04.449 by this. Oh, I know, I know, I know. So maybe 00:39:04.449 --> 00:39:08.769 this is the one episode that we have to say. 00:39:09.289 --> 00:39:10.869 Hey, there might be some content inappropriate 00:39:10.869 --> 00:39:16.130 for young children. Sure. I mean, no, but yeah. 00:39:16.530 --> 00:39:23.710 Here we go. Oh, that was a good opening. Yeah. 00:39:24.449 --> 00:39:26.170 I feel like I was in a beer commercial right 00:39:26.170 --> 00:39:28.250 there. Did yours spray out a little bit? Yeah. 00:39:28.349 --> 00:39:30.230 Mine did too. Gave me a little bit of the... 00:39:30.230 --> 00:39:33.829 Ooh. What are you smelling? You've been getting 00:39:33.829 --> 00:39:36.190 a smell here, folks. Okay, make sure and open 00:39:36.190 --> 00:39:47.019 your mouth when you smell. That's not bad. Yeah, 00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:49.679 it's definitely... Okay, so this is paler. Yeah, 00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:54.320 it is. You can smell the citrus off of it. Yeah. 00:39:54.619 --> 00:39:57.900 Now, it's a red. They were saying it was reddish. 00:39:58.780 --> 00:40:03.440 Yeah, it looks like it. It smells a little sweet. 00:40:04.539 --> 00:40:06.659 Oh, I, especially compared to, I think it smells 00:40:06.659 --> 00:40:11.300 a lot sweet. I'm, I'm getting some like, um, 00:40:11.420 --> 00:40:15.800 apple juice vibe off of that, which is a lot 00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:18.760 of sugar. Maybe I'm, maybe I'm just being overly 00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:21.940 sensitive here. Going in. Here we go. I'm gonna 00:40:21.940 --> 00:40:27.760 watch his face. Yeah, that's not a bad face. 00:40:30.260 --> 00:40:35.820 Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. What are you saying, 00:40:35.980 --> 00:40:38.699 Chris? It's not a stout. That's the thing. I 00:40:38.699 --> 00:40:40.139 probably should have had this before the stout. 00:40:41.980 --> 00:40:43.900 You're saying don't go the other direction? I'm 00:40:43.900 --> 00:40:46.199 a stout. Okay, that's a little bit weird. I'm 00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:48.679 a stout guy, so I should have done this before 00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:51.800 the stout. Because the stout is messing with 00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:54.099 my palate. I'm going to say something. I'm tasting 00:40:54.099 --> 00:40:59.800 paper. Paper? So just throw that into your... 00:41:00.059 --> 00:41:02.440 Box of things that you haven't heard when you're... 00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:06.659 Again, I should have had this before the stout. 00:41:06.860 --> 00:41:09.579 For sure. Because the stout changes the palate. 00:41:09.579 --> 00:41:12.139 So, I don't... Like, it's not... You know when 00:41:12.139 --> 00:41:16.739 you lick an envelope? Yes. It's not the, like... 00:41:16.739 --> 00:41:19.920 It's not the, like, oh, what is that glue taste? 00:41:20.019 --> 00:41:22.900 Like the whatever. Yes. But that's what I'm saying. 00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:26.039 I'm tasting paper. Okay. Okay. Let me try again. 00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:33.260 As somebody who... When I would fold my paper 00:41:33.260 --> 00:41:35.780 airplanes, I used to lick the creases to make 00:41:35.780 --> 00:41:38.619 them... On the paper airplane? To go tighter. 00:41:39.099 --> 00:41:42.440 I wouldn't do it a lot. I wasn't trying to tear 00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:44.400 it. So you're trying to get it to stay together. 00:41:44.860 --> 00:41:53.300 Well, not... Again, I was not a genius. I'm not 00:41:53.300 --> 00:41:56.460 saying... It felt like it thinned the paper out 00:41:56.460 --> 00:42:01.119 to be able to make that... Not thinned out. Licking 00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:06.260 the paper made it fold tighter. Did you eat paint 00:42:06.260 --> 00:42:11.940 chips as a kid? Maybe. I'm not tasting paper. 00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:16.260 Well, then I'm obviously wrong. I would like 00:42:16.260 --> 00:42:18.219 for somebody to drink this and tell me that they 00:42:18.219 --> 00:42:20.539 taste paper too, though. It does have some sweetness 00:42:20.539 --> 00:42:24.519 to it. I would argue that I would think it's... 00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:26.159 Yeah, but the sweetness is all at the beginning. 00:42:26.260 --> 00:42:29.199 It's like, bam, and then it's gone. And I would 00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:32.980 say that I would have, had I not seen it, I would 00:42:32.980 --> 00:42:34.480 have thought that there's more than 20 on the 00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:38.820 IBUs, but not nowhere near the 50 that we just 00:42:38.820 --> 00:42:41.639 had on Grown Man. Yeah, I don't, I'm not tasting 00:42:41.639 --> 00:42:45.079 really any bitterness, which I understand is 00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:47.440 a little bit weird with me saying that. I'm tasting 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:50.739 paper. It's not, it's not paper. Like, I know 00:42:50.739 --> 00:42:52.460 that it's not paper. It's just reminding me. 00:42:52.460 --> 00:42:54.559 I so wish we were live right now. Oh my gosh. 00:42:56.989 --> 00:42:59.150 That's still in progress. I haven't given up 00:42:59.150 --> 00:43:01.150 on that. Well, yeah. I mean, there's so many 00:43:01.150 --> 00:43:03.690 things that are in progress. Yeah. But we're... 00:43:03.690 --> 00:43:05.909 Well, if I can get everybody... Husbands and 00:43:05.909 --> 00:43:09.489 fathers and... Well, yeah, that's true. True. 00:43:09.489 --> 00:43:11.789 Well, what we need to do is we just need to get 00:43:11.789 --> 00:43:15.250 all of our listeners on my podcast app and then 00:43:15.250 --> 00:43:19.250 it just works. Mm -hmm. So... No big deal. Everybody, 00:43:19.570 --> 00:43:22.130 move to Podcast Attic if you're on an iPhone. 00:43:22.670 --> 00:43:24.269 Congratulations, you're coming over to Android. 00:43:25.309 --> 00:43:27.750 You're coming away from the dark side? Yeah, 00:43:27.750 --> 00:43:28.670 it's not going to happen. To the light side? 00:43:30.829 --> 00:43:41.030 Still to come. Oh, yeah. Pretzels or chips? Chips. 00:43:41.309 --> 00:43:45.329 Chips. Members, Mark, you spared no expense. 00:43:45.989 --> 00:43:50.889 I spared a lot of expense. Sometimes you just 00:43:50.889 --> 00:43:54.940 need a little... This was one of those days. 00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:57.480 I don't know if this happens to you a lot. The 00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:03.320 salt with the beer. Very nice. That's good. Which 00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:06.440 is why I'm like, what's with all these pretzels 00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:08.460 that don't have enough salt on them? Exactly. 00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:12.079 Why is that a thing? Speaking of, went back to 00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:16.000 Fresh. Couldn't find pretzels. Oh my gosh. They're 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:18.960 like, we give up. Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to 00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:20.480 stop coming to Fresh for pretzels, apparently. 00:44:21.230 --> 00:44:23.570 This is not the place you're looking for pretzels. 00:44:23.630 --> 00:44:27.530 We don't have them. Don't go to Fresh. No. What 00:44:27.530 --> 00:44:36.550 was I saying? Anyway. Well, Jason, I think it's 00:44:36.550 --> 00:44:38.630 an okay beer. Yeah, we appreciate you and your 00:44:38.630 --> 00:44:41.750 paper beer. Oh, I love that he brings back paper 00:44:41.750 --> 00:44:46.610 beer. I appreciate that he brings back product. 00:44:47.190 --> 00:44:50.210 Oh, my gosh. Now, this is way above the last 00:44:50.210 --> 00:44:54.719 two. Yeah. The last two were wretched. Absolutely 00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:58.719 wretched. Don't do that to me. But this one? 00:44:58.900 --> 00:45:00.559 But we talked about it more. That's what he wanted, 00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:03.179 right? Well, that's true. And this episode has 00:45:03.179 --> 00:45:06.260 been basically all beer. All beer. All beer all 00:45:06.260 --> 00:45:09.579 the time. All the time. Yeah. Weather on the 00:45:09.579 --> 00:45:14.199 eights. Weather on the eights. So it's good. 00:45:16.500 --> 00:45:19.980 Not going to make my top ten. No. But it's good. 00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:26.519 And wouldn't be a bad lawnmower beer. Yeah, I 00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:32.000 would give it that. Yeah. I would. I was actually 00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:35.900 thinking about Full Grown Man. Ooh, after mowing. 00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:41.260 I would not drink it while mowing. No. But if 00:45:41.260 --> 00:45:45.219 I had sat down and maybe somebody forced some 00:45:45.219 --> 00:45:49.019 water on you. I would drink this while mowing 00:45:49.019 --> 00:45:53.639 if I was on a riding mower. Bro. I mean. Now 00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:58.380 you're talking. Yeah. Push mower, no way. Riding 00:45:58.380 --> 00:46:02.579 mower, that may be in a koozie in the cup holder. 00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:05.219 It didn't have to be in a koozie. Just embrace 00:46:05.219 --> 00:46:10.599 it. Lean in. On a koozie. We live in Texas, man. 00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:15.260 That beer is hot in five minutes. That's true. 00:46:15.710 --> 00:46:19.269 Not room temperature. That's why you put your 00:46:19.269 --> 00:46:25.090 own modification of an umbrella over you. I saw 00:46:25.090 --> 00:46:29.590 a riding mower with an enclosed cab with AC in 00:46:29.590 --> 00:46:33.889 it. A riding mower? Yep. Like a John Deere tractor 00:46:33.889 --> 00:46:39.530 riding mower? No, like a zero turn. A zero turn 00:46:39.530 --> 00:46:41.469 that's fully enclosed. Where did you see this? 00:46:43.489 --> 00:46:48.059 Online. Obviously. Was it Photoshop? I did not 00:46:48.059 --> 00:46:50.940 see it in person. All right. We're going to find 00:46:50.940 --> 00:46:54.920 this for you because that's what we do now. Compared 00:46:54.920 --> 00:46:56.920 to other shows, we are so off the rails right 00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:58.699 now. We are so off the rails. I mean, but it's 00:46:58.699 --> 00:47:01.059 great. Maybe this is the new format for the show. 00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:05.320 Yeah. We're going to talk. I don't know what 00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:07.179 we're going to talk about, but we're going to 00:47:07.179 --> 00:47:11.380 talk. Apparently, we have to kick the show off 00:47:11.380 --> 00:47:16.030 with 12%. And they just let it flow. Well, not 00:47:16.030 --> 00:47:20.630 if you're going to go lighter after that. Well, 00:47:20.789 --> 00:47:29.190 you say that. Yeah, bro. Okay, so there's a Ferris 00:47:29.190 --> 00:47:31.570 one. I mean, it's exactly what you're thinking. 00:47:32.949 --> 00:47:35.909 So this company Ferris makes one that's called 00:47:35.909 --> 00:47:42.269 the ISX. 3 ,300. 60 -inch zero -turn mower with 00:47:42.269 --> 00:47:45.250 Curtis premium air -conditioned cab. Jason, you 00:47:45.250 --> 00:47:53.869 just said 33. I did. It costs $29 ,000. Oh, my 00:47:53.869 --> 00:47:59.489 gosh. But there it is. There was a $12 ,000 one, 00:47:59.610 --> 00:48:05.170 though, made by Curtis. Oh, wait. That's still 00:48:05.170 --> 00:48:10.670 the ISX 3300. This is insane. I'm literally looking 00:48:10.670 --> 00:48:16.010 at a riding zero turn. It's like they dropped 00:48:16.010 --> 00:48:20.769 the cab of a tractor on it. Well, yes. And for 00:48:20.769 --> 00:48:24.610 good reason. Maybe this one doesn't have. Maybe 00:48:24.610 --> 00:48:27.030 it's just enclosed. Nope. Air -conditioned cab. 00:48:27.769 --> 00:48:30.570 So you can get it for cheaper. This is insane. 00:48:31.090 --> 00:48:33.429 Than whatever that other one was. That's not 00:48:33.429 --> 00:48:36.750 insane. It's called I am tired of being hot. 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:39.920 I thought that you look at the back view and 00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:43.679 there's the air filter. Yeah, right. I mean, 00:48:43.739 --> 00:48:47.860 you know, it's got to be somewhere. Kubota has 00:48:47.860 --> 00:48:52.840 one. Premium AC cab for Kubota. See, now that 00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:56.940 makes me wonder. Curtis makes a premium AC cab 00:48:56.940 --> 00:49:07.489 for Kubota ZD112 or 1211, which. Makes me wonder. 00:49:08.590 --> 00:49:13.030 It's $11 ,000 probably just for the cab. Oh. 00:49:13.670 --> 00:49:18.730 That's what I think I'm seeing here. Wow. So 00:49:18.730 --> 00:49:21.590 you got to buy the mower. And then you buy the 00:49:21.590 --> 00:49:23.409 cab. And then you got to buy the cab and retrofit 00:49:23.409 --> 00:49:25.849 your mower. Yeah, this is a premium AC cab for 00:49:25.849 --> 00:49:33.530 John Deere. Wow. And that costs another $11 ,000. 00:49:33.929 --> 00:49:40.869 So, yeah, I think we're feeling the effects of 00:49:40.869 --> 00:49:47.050 the global warming. I thought you were saying 00:49:47.050 --> 00:49:49.210 we're feeling the effects of the 12%. No, that's 00:49:49.210 --> 00:49:51.349 why we're, yeah, yes, we are. That's why we're 00:49:51.349 --> 00:49:55.380 looking at mowers right now. On our podcast. 00:49:55.940 --> 00:49:59.460 Mowers or gear? Beer and gear. They are. You 00:49:59.460 --> 00:50:00.760 can have a beer on the gear. And I will tell 00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:03.880 you, if you're hot enough to feel like you need 00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:09.199 to spend $11 ,000 on a cab to go over the top 00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:13.960 of your riding lawnmower, maybe it's time to 00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:21.780 think about the Luba 2 all -wheel drive. What 00:50:21.780 --> 00:50:29.940 did Lori call these? Not iRobot. The Roomba for 00:50:29.940 --> 00:50:32.619 your grass. The Roomba for your grass. There 00:50:32.619 --> 00:50:35.000 you go. I also have a friend who has one of these. 00:50:35.079 --> 00:50:38.199 Not this one, but like, are you kidding me? The 00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:41.440 auto mower. Auto mower just kind of roams around 00:50:41.440 --> 00:50:45.800 your grass making lines. Yeah. It's hilarious. 00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:48.980 I mean, tell me it's not hilarious. It's hilarious. 00:50:49.929 --> 00:50:53.010 You say that, but they have those at Pine Cove. 00:50:53.289 --> 00:50:57.349 Do they? They do. Oh, my gosh. Timbers filled 00:50:57.349 --> 00:51:02.949 outside of the gym. Talk about a field that I 00:51:02.949 --> 00:51:06.510 wish that I could. Anyway, that was a different 00:51:06.510 --> 00:51:13.010 life back then when we rolled out turf on this 00:51:13.010 --> 00:51:15.769 big field, and then they decided the gym should 00:51:15.769 --> 00:51:20.460 go there. So we tore up all this. Really fancy 00:51:20.460 --> 00:51:23.260 saw that we put down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's 00:51:23.260 --> 00:51:25.440 been some of that on the IT side. To put a gym 00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:28.599 down. Run the fiber and then, oh, you know what? 00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:30.940 We're going to put a dining hall there. That's 00:51:30.940 --> 00:51:35.559 fine. You're six feet under, right? No. Oh, you 00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:36.820 know what? We're going to put a cabin there. 00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:47.519 Oh, okay. Okay. This mower looks like a front 00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:52.409 end loader. But it's motorized and it has tracks. 00:51:52.690 --> 00:51:55.010 Anyway, we need to stop looking at this. I'm 00:51:55.010 --> 00:51:57.289 sitting here going, $11 ,000 for the cab. I think 00:51:57.289 --> 00:51:59.889 this is actually helping me with my wife. I've 00:51:59.889 --> 00:52:01.909 been trying to convince her. That you need a 00:52:01.909 --> 00:52:05.070 riding lawnmower. Exactly, yes. I'm not asking 00:52:05.070 --> 00:52:06.989 for an air -conditioned one. No, no, no. For 00:52:06.989 --> 00:52:09.650 those of you that don't know, I have an autoimmune 00:52:09.650 --> 00:52:12.789 disease, which gives me my spectacular posture. 00:52:13.170 --> 00:52:17.309 Yes. It's really impressive. Oh, it is. It is. 00:52:17.449 --> 00:52:19.170 Especially when we look at pictures when I got 00:52:19.170 --> 00:52:21.269 married and look at me now. It's like, what'd 00:52:21.269 --> 00:52:23.949 you do? Have you measured? How much shorter are 00:52:23.949 --> 00:52:27.130 you? Oh, geez. Probably a good three inches. 00:52:27.969 --> 00:52:34.690 Really? Really, yes. Yes. It's a very noticeable 00:52:34.690 --> 00:52:40.309 change when you look at pictures. But I've been 00:52:40.309 --> 00:52:43.070 trying to tell her, like, you know, yeah, I've 00:52:43.070 --> 00:52:45.519 got a... I've got a push mower, and it's got 00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:48.940 some self -propelled pieces to it, and that's 00:52:48.940 --> 00:52:53.019 great, but I'm pushing 50. I'm getting older, 00:52:53.340 --> 00:52:58.099 and I'd like to get a riding mower. You're pushing 00:52:58.099 --> 00:53:03.340 50. I am pushing 50. I'm 48, man. Almost 48 and 00:53:03.340 --> 00:53:05.739 a half. I don't want to talk about this right 00:53:05.739 --> 00:53:07.199 now. That's pushing 50. No, we're not talking 00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:09.280 about this right now. But all that to say, I'm 00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:11.980 like, you know, and I've looked, and I put it 00:53:11.980 --> 00:53:13.949 in front of her, and I'm like. I would love to 00:53:13.949 --> 00:53:16.289 have a riding mower. And here's what I'm willing 00:53:16.289 --> 00:53:21.030 to do. I'm willing to accept the Murray at $1 00:53:21.030 --> 00:53:26.909 ,800. That's a ton of money. Yeah. But that's 00:53:26.909 --> 00:53:30.230 where I'm willing to go. What's the one? So if 00:53:30.230 --> 00:53:33.829 people are willing to drop 11 grand for an enclosed 00:53:33.829 --> 00:53:40.469 cab, I'm not asking for that much. Murray's about 00:53:40.469 --> 00:53:46.519 as low as you go. All I want to say is, oh, no, 00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:51.940 that's Troy Belt. Troy Belt makes a decent mower. 00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:55.539 Well, but I'm looking at the Troy Belt that looks 00:53:55.539 --> 00:53:58.800 like the old snapper, like the one that Tom Hanks 00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:03.380 rode in. Yeah. Whatever that thing's called. 00:54:06.460 --> 00:54:09.900 Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump. That was a snapper, 00:54:09.940 --> 00:54:19.619 right? Yeah, that's right. Oh, my goodness. You 00:54:19.619 --> 00:54:21.340 should get one of those ones that you stand on 00:54:21.340 --> 00:54:24.239 the little foot pads. My kids have talked about 00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:28.880 that. He's right behind it. That's probably more 00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:31.500 expensive. Actually, what would happen is if 00:54:31.500 --> 00:54:34.579 I get a riding mower, I'm actually going to have 00:54:34.579 --> 00:54:38.280 competition to mow the yard. Really? Oh, the 00:54:38.280 --> 00:54:40.380 kids are like, oh, I'd do it if it was a riding 00:54:40.380 --> 00:54:43.019 mower. And even Michelle has been like. I think 00:54:43.019 --> 00:54:46.780 they'll do it once. I might give that a go. I 00:54:46.780 --> 00:54:49.460 mean, yes. I think they would do it once. Ooh, 00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:55.440 there's a Club Cadet for $659. $659? Yeah. Where 00:54:55.440 --> 00:55:00.199 at? I'm trying to find it. Like used? No. No? 00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:06.019 No. A riding mower? No. There's no way. It's 00:55:06.019 --> 00:55:13.679 electric. Oh. See, this is more gear. Yeah. I 00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:18.619 have. Mm -hmm. An electric mower. Do you? I do. 00:55:18.760 --> 00:55:22.239 I bit the bullet. It's like, you know what? I'm 00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:24.699 sick and tired of constantly having to work on 00:55:24.699 --> 00:55:26.900 these carburetors. Sick and tired. And having 00:55:26.900 --> 00:55:31.179 to winterize my mower. I'm going to go electric. 00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:37.360 And so I got a 40 volt mower. What brand did 00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:42.780 you go with? Ryjobe. Ryjobe. Ryjobe. Okay. Great 00:55:42.780 --> 00:55:46.449 the first year. Okay. Middle of the second year, 00:55:46.670 --> 00:55:49.090 it's like, eh, it doesn't do so well when the 00:55:49.090 --> 00:55:53.570 grass is a little wet. And here we are in season 00:55:53.570 --> 00:55:57.590 three. Well, season three has been inordinately 00:55:57.590 --> 00:56:00.110 ridiculous. Well, but it's been dry. For those 00:56:00.110 --> 00:56:05.369 of you that are, no. Yes, it has. What? Yes. 00:56:05.449 --> 00:56:08.530 We've gotten more rain in Tyler over the past 00:56:08.530 --> 00:56:11.630 summer than ever. Sure doesn't feel like it to 00:56:11.630 --> 00:56:14.269 me. Okay, well, maybe you're staying dry, but 00:56:14.269 --> 00:56:17.889 there's a lot of Tyler. We haven't even hit 100 00:56:17.889 --> 00:56:21.829 degrees. It sure felt like it yesterday. Okay, 00:56:21.889 --> 00:56:25.269 well, maybe we've hit 100 degrees a couple times, 00:56:25.369 --> 00:56:29.349 but not like the weeks of 100 degrees. Oh, no, 00:56:29.409 --> 00:56:31.849 definitely not. In terms of summer, this has 00:56:31.849 --> 00:56:34.130 been mild. So mild. And I think it's because 00:56:34.130 --> 00:56:37.809 of how much rain we've gotten. I don't feel like, 00:56:37.869 --> 00:56:41.219 I mean, maybe we have. I might have a bad. gauge 00:56:41.219 --> 00:56:44.260 of it but yeah i don't feel like that we've gotten 00:56:44.260 --> 00:56:46.760 nearly as much and i say the reason why i say 00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:48.260 i don't feel like we've had more rain we need 00:56:48.260 --> 00:56:50.679 our listeners to weigh in on this how much rain 00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:53.800 have we had well here's here's here's my rationale 00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:57.380 for this okay go ahead i have a smart sprinkler 00:56:57.380 --> 00:57:02.420 controller yeah that is plugged in for our amount 00:57:02.420 --> 00:57:04.739 of rain and can make the adjustment to go you 00:57:04.739 --> 00:57:08.260 know what i don't need to run at all or i'm gonna 00:57:08.260 --> 00:57:13.400 run a much shorter time and when i look at my 00:57:13.400 --> 00:57:16.920 track over the last three months i don't see 00:57:16.920 --> 00:57:18.840 a whole lot of time that it said yeah i'm not 00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:23.559 gonna run so for me maybe maybe it's unique in 00:57:23.559 --> 00:57:27.880 my little piece of the where i'm at that it feels 00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:30.760 like we haven't got that much yeah that makes 00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:34.139 sense so i mean i i get that i feel like it is 00:57:34.139 --> 00:57:40.769 inordinately cool and by cool i mean Upper 90s. 00:57:41.670 --> 00:57:45.030 Which is still hot. Yeah. Anything over 60 is 00:57:45.030 --> 00:57:52.750 hot to me. Yeah, no, this isn't Chicago, buddy. 00:57:54.309 --> 00:57:58.510 You know, Indiana weather down here. Yeah, yeah, 00:57:58.550 --> 00:58:05.190 yeah. So. Just looking at the annual. Oh, there 00:58:05.190 --> 00:58:08.050 is a heat advisory. Heat advisory. There you 00:58:08.050 --> 00:58:11.909 go. Why isn't it telling me what I'm asking for? 00:58:13.210 --> 00:58:16.369 What is the annual or what is the average rainfall 00:58:16.369 --> 00:58:24.989 in Tyler, Texas? Yeah, no, that's not right. 00:58:27.269 --> 00:58:32.750 This is interesting. I feel like this should 00:58:32.750 --> 00:58:41.400 be way more informative than it is. Can I get 00:58:41.400 --> 00:58:51.239 a Tyler Texas weather? Where are we? This is 00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:52.980 going to be random. You ever heard of Bojangles? 00:58:54.780 --> 00:58:58.300 That sounds familiar. Where is that? Does that 00:58:58.300 --> 00:59:01.000 picture seem familiar? Yeah. Does that ring a 00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:03.780 bell? Yes. What is that? So I just got this from 00:59:03.780 --> 00:59:07.280 Jacob Largent. Okay. He's up in the Dallas area. 00:59:07.500 --> 00:59:10.369 Yeah. And he just sent this to me, and apparently 00:59:10.369 --> 00:59:12.230 this is the new location that they're expanding 00:59:12.230 --> 00:59:15.489 to. Baytown, Texas, Cypress, Texas, Fort Worth, 00:59:15.650 --> 00:59:19.369 Orange, and Tomball, Texas. When we go to the 00:59:19.369 --> 00:59:23.409 southeast, we go here for breakfast every single 00:59:23.409 --> 00:59:29.250 day. The food is amazing. Interesting. It's chicken, 00:59:29.429 --> 00:59:33.630 but it is so good. It's chicken. I just want 00:59:33.630 --> 00:59:37.309 to warn you, it's chicken. The Cajun chicken 00:59:37.309 --> 00:59:39.869 biscuit. Can you tell we're from Texas? Oh. I 00:59:39.869 --> 00:59:41.750 just want to warn you, it's chicken. It's chicken. 00:59:42.250 --> 00:59:47.329 It's chicken. It's not beef. But yeah, the spicy 00:59:47.329 --> 00:59:51.889 Cajun chicken biscuit with the bo rounds. Oh, 00:59:52.190 --> 00:59:55.469 it's so good. Okay, we're down almost two degrees 00:59:55.469 --> 01:00:00.650 from the average. Year over year? Yeah. Okay. 01:00:00.710 --> 01:00:07.990 And you're right, we're down 0 .3 inches. Vindicated. 01:00:07.990 --> 01:00:14.150 Point three. There's that. Point three. Geez. 01:00:14.369 --> 01:00:16.710 I mean, last month. No, last month we were down 01:00:16.710 --> 01:00:23.070 1 .2 inches. Okay. But the month before that, 01:00:23.269 --> 01:00:30.309 we were up five inches. Yes, because. So maybe 01:00:30.309 --> 01:00:33.260 that's what I'm thinking. Traditionally. The 01:00:33.260 --> 01:00:35.760 first half of that first lead in of summer is 01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:40.900 wet. And typically through 4th of July. And the 01:00:40.900 --> 01:00:43.800 reason why I know that is because my kids' first 01:00:43.800 --> 01:00:45.699 week of camp, for as long as I can remember, 01:00:45.820 --> 01:00:50.260 has been 4th of July week. And it is very kind 01:00:50.260 --> 01:00:53.199 for them to get to that week and the fireworks 01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:56.980 show gets rained out. And then it's like right 01:00:56.980 --> 01:01:01.480 after the 4th of July week. Here comes the dry. 01:01:01.539 --> 01:01:06.119 Here comes the heat. Mm -hmm. So. I mean, yeah. 01:01:06.219 --> 01:01:12.260 What I'm, yeah. What I'm expecting has not been 01:01:12.260 --> 01:01:18.420 what I have experienced this. Yeah. This summer. 01:01:18.699 --> 01:01:23.519 Yeah. If you want to even call it that. So going 01:01:23.519 --> 01:01:27.159 back to the mower. Yeah. This is the third season 01:01:27.159 --> 01:01:29.139 of mowing with it. Yeah. Still on the original 01:01:29.139 --> 01:01:35.360 batteries. Yeah. Performance is definitely starting 01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:37.280 to degrade. And obviously that has to do with 01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:40.300 the batteries. Definitely. So the fact that they've 01:01:40.300 --> 01:01:44.199 made it to a third season is pretty darn good. 01:01:44.440 --> 01:01:47.519 I'm not complaining about that. But definitely 01:01:47.519 --> 01:01:51.409 when the grass gets wet. You feel it. Oh, yeah. 01:01:51.590 --> 01:01:54.670 You're stopping. You're tipping the mower over. 01:01:55.170 --> 01:01:58.670 You're scraping the trimmings out that are like 01:01:58.670 --> 01:02:02.289 glued to the underside of the mower. Yeah. And 01:02:02.289 --> 01:02:04.289 then you get a couple more passes and you're 01:02:04.289 --> 01:02:06.170 like, okay, flip it over. Man, there's nothing 01:02:06.170 --> 01:02:09.429 like that old Honda that I used to have. That 01:02:09.429 --> 01:02:15.550 thing would cut through whatever. Yep. Yep. I 01:02:15.550 --> 01:02:17.630 mean, I think about it. I never sharpened the 01:02:17.630 --> 01:02:20.889 blade on that. Honda. I used it from when I was 01:02:20.889 --> 01:02:24.110 10 years old to when I was 18 years old. And 01:02:24.110 --> 01:02:28.550 at no point did I change the oil or sharpen the 01:02:28.550 --> 01:02:34.250 blade. So true. Just saying. I wasn't taught. 01:02:34.409 --> 01:02:36.769 I didn't know anything. If nobody tells you, 01:02:36.789 --> 01:02:40.030 you don't know any better. I'm just saying. I'm 01:02:40.030 --> 01:02:43.809 just saying. I keep saying that. I'm sorry. Salt. 01:02:44.070 --> 01:02:49.889 That's good. It is good. And the crunch. So, 01:02:49.909 --> 01:02:53.550 yeah. That's what's going on. Have you tried 01:02:53.550 --> 01:02:59.849 one of those before? No. What is that? Rochefort. 01:03:00.210 --> 01:03:03.949 Rochefort Belgian Ale. Number 10. Number 10. 01:03:04.230 --> 01:03:11.809 Which means it's 10%. Where'd you get this? Fresh. 01:03:12.309 --> 01:03:17.769 Okay. You can also get it at World Market. Yeah, 01:03:17.809 --> 01:03:19.550 you know what I noticed at World Market when 01:03:19.550 --> 01:03:21.429 I went in today? What's that? They had a lot 01:03:21.429 --> 01:03:30.989 of beers that they have on tap at Rotolo's. Really? 01:03:31.269 --> 01:03:33.550 Yeah, I was like, I recognize that. Oh, I recognize 01:03:33.550 --> 01:03:36.309 that. Oh, I recognize that. Oh, all of those 01:03:36.309 --> 01:03:40.090 are off the tap menu at Rotolo's. And I was like, 01:03:40.150 --> 01:03:42.429 I don't know if somebody put that together or 01:03:42.429 --> 01:03:46.159 if that's just a... Conspiring. Thing. But I 01:03:46.159 --> 01:03:48.480 will tell you, if you're in Tyler and you go 01:03:48.480 --> 01:03:51.079 to Rotolos and you find a beer that you like, 01:03:51.199 --> 01:03:54.699 you might just wander down. Yeah, just a couple 01:03:54.699 --> 01:03:58.699 shops. To World Market and see if it's there. 01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:03.699 Back left corner. Back left corner. Best spot 01:04:03.699 --> 01:04:07.019 in the whole place. I mean, it's a bathroom there. 01:04:07.380 --> 01:04:10.619 That's true, there is. Standing there too long. 01:04:12.759 --> 01:04:15.219 Partaking of the... No, you're not allowed to 01:04:15.219 --> 01:04:22.300 do that. No, you can't do that. Anyway. There's 01:04:22.300 --> 01:04:23.840 a lot going on. I feel like we'll have a lot 01:04:23.840 --> 01:04:26.519 to talk about in the next few episodes. Absolutely. 01:04:26.780 --> 01:04:34.179 Do you want to do our boost? Boost. Yes, we have 01:04:34.179 --> 01:04:36.739 one. We don't even have the sound effect for 01:04:36.739 --> 01:04:41.039 it. No. Which is sad because... Anyway. Yes, 01:04:41.059 --> 01:04:48.780 so on July 25th. On July 25th. Yes. In the amount 01:04:48.780 --> 01:04:52.719 of, can you show me the full, because you're 01:04:52.719 --> 01:04:56.519 just showing me the after splits. I do believe, 01:04:56.920 --> 01:05:02.199 I do believe that this was 1 ,000 sats. Hey, 01:05:02.219 --> 01:05:06.159 thanks, man. Yes. From the usual suspect, Jason 01:05:06.159 --> 01:05:10.730 Court. Shocking. Nobody else. Yeah, the rest 01:05:10.730 --> 01:05:12.170 of y 'all are slacking. Come on, man. I'm not 01:05:12.170 --> 01:05:14.130 thinking anybody else is really listening other 01:05:14.130 --> 01:05:17.469 than Jason. Well, you say that. Really listening. 01:05:17.570 --> 01:05:19.730 I'm saying really listening. Well, yeah, maybe 01:05:19.730 --> 01:05:22.710 really listening. Thanks, Jason. We're talking 01:05:22.710 --> 01:05:24.949 to you, man. We've had some decent numbers in 01:05:24.949 --> 01:05:27.630 recent shows. You should try this paper beer. 01:05:29.010 --> 01:05:34.269 He already has. I know. So, yeah, so this would 01:05:34.269 --> 01:05:37.900 have been for the previous show. Well. What is 01:05:37.900 --> 01:05:40.480 there to say after such? No, that's a repeat. 01:05:40.780 --> 01:05:43.260 That's not a new. Oh, Jason, we didn't get the 01:05:43.260 --> 01:05:46.059 new one that you talked about. We didn't get 01:05:46.059 --> 01:05:52.420 it. No. Interesting. Oh, well, that's a real 01:05:52.420 --> 01:05:58.699 bummer. Come on, man. He specifically told me 01:05:58.699 --> 01:06:01.900 that he put a new one in. Oh, well, that's a 01:06:01.900 --> 01:06:10.460 fail. Well, it's just because of the Abby. Boo. 01:06:10.460 --> 01:06:13.219 Yeah, Albie. Albie. Albie. I'm sitting there. 01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:16.659 Abby? Abby. You're talking about my niece? What? 01:06:16.860 --> 01:06:20.920 Yeah, I have. Yeah. Well, sorry, Jason. It's 01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:24.500 not here. I'm really confident that you said 01:06:24.500 --> 01:06:26.280 you said something. Maybe I'm making that up, 01:06:26.280 --> 01:06:29.199 but. I mean, I feel like I got a boost from him 01:06:29.199 --> 01:06:30.980 anyway because, you know, he gave us this paper 01:06:30.980 --> 01:06:38.199 beer. Petoskey Brewing. Paper beer. Again, I 01:06:38.199 --> 01:06:41.500 don't taste paper. In fairness, I don't taste 01:06:41.500 --> 01:06:46.019 paper. Whoa. Petoskey. Whoa. That almost makes 01:06:46.019 --> 01:06:51.500 it the Epstein beer. Yeah. No. I said ta. Petoskey. 01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:59.599 Ta. Petoskey. Ta. Petoskey. Don't skip the T, 01:06:59.739 --> 01:07:02.539 people. There's a T there for a reason. Just 01:07:02.539 --> 01:07:07.000 like it's not mountain, it's mountain. Drives 01:07:07.000 --> 01:07:09.119 me insane. I hear my kids say that and I'm like, 01:07:09.199 --> 01:07:13.360 what was that? Mountain. I'm like, yes, exactly. 01:07:13.719 --> 01:07:16.719 That's right. Exactly. Do not drop the T. My 01:07:16.719 --> 01:07:20.739 daughter keeps doing that. And I can't remember 01:07:20.739 --> 01:07:22.860 exactly what it is, but it's anything that's 01:07:22.860 --> 01:07:27.010 like... T -I -N -T -O -N. Yeah. At the end, she 01:07:27.010 --> 01:07:29.389 doesn't pronounce it. Just drops a T. And I'm 01:07:29.389 --> 01:07:32.590 like, oh, you're killing me. Yes. Like, I need 01:07:32.590 --> 01:07:35.489 you to. Yes. Yes. It's like I had this drilled 01:07:35.489 --> 01:07:38.449 into me as a kid. That T exists. It does. Pronounce 01:07:38.449 --> 01:07:42.170 it. I did have a guy that over -pronounced it 01:07:42.170 --> 01:07:47.170 in high school. Mount Tin? Like, no, he was in 01:07:47.170 --> 01:07:52.750 my CAD drawing class. So, Batin. Batin? Yeah. 01:07:53.389 --> 01:07:57.449 I was like, it's not an I, man. It's an O. It's 01:07:57.449 --> 01:08:03.670 button. Button. Baton. Baton. Baton, yes. Button. 01:08:04.309 --> 01:08:10.809 Button. Button. Anyway. Button. Well, I think 01:08:10.809 --> 01:08:13.550 I'm going to. Welcome to East Texas. Yes. I'm 01:08:13.550 --> 01:08:16.069 going to reserve the Rochefort for home. Yeah, 01:08:16.090 --> 01:08:18.250 you should do that. Although. I'm going to drink 01:08:18.250 --> 01:08:20.149 that golden. It's awfully tempting to open it 01:08:20.149 --> 01:08:21.789 up. Yeah, I'm going to drink that golden monkey 01:08:21.789 --> 01:08:26.229 at home. That makes me think of the song, that 01:08:26.229 --> 01:08:29.130 funky monkey. Yeah, that's right. Brass monkey. 01:08:29.390 --> 01:08:33.510 Brass monkey. I'm just saying. It's going to 01:08:33.510 --> 01:08:37.670 be so hard. Maybe I should listen to some Beastie 01:08:37.670 --> 01:08:39.449 Boys on the way home. It's going to be so hard 01:08:39.449 --> 01:08:42.250 to do chapters for this show. Like, what did 01:08:42.250 --> 01:08:45.729 we talk about? There was mowers. I know there 01:08:45.729 --> 01:08:51.210 was mowers. There was self -employment. There 01:08:51.210 --> 01:08:54.210 was beer involved. Oh, my gosh. It's going to 01:08:54.210 --> 01:08:56.550 take. I know I said last time it takes about 01:08:56.550 --> 01:08:58.210 45 minutes. Yeah, it's going to take. It's probably 01:08:58.210 --> 01:09:00.850 going to take over an hour. Yeah. Sorry about 01:09:00.850 --> 01:09:04.829 that. Yikes. Anyway. All right. Well. Hey, thanks 01:09:04.829 --> 01:09:07.210 for hanging out. Enjoyed it, John. Always. Yeah. 01:09:07.250 --> 01:09:30.560 See you, everybody. See you. Hey, if you like 01:09:30.560 --> 01:09:32.600 the show, then how about donating? Will they 01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:34.260 save you money on therapy do you think?
