Hey Chris, how you doing? Good, how you doing
John? Yeah, so this is our first... Yeah, I feel
like I'm at a Cowboys game. I don't know where
to look. Don't look at it, but I do need you
to tell me if something's going wrong over there.
I mean... I'm not supposed to see myself like
this. Well, I think you're going to have to get
used to it. I do like the auto switch. That's
not auto switch. I'm doing, Oh, you're doing
it. Oh, we didn't, we didn't, we didn't get the
auto switch figured out in time. Well, true.
Um, this is, this is going to take a lot of brain
work for me. So I'm going to need you to carry
this show. Uh, interesting. Carry the show. And
I, and yet I don't even know what we're talking
about. It's because neither of us know what we're
talking about. True. Why would that be different
than that's true? Anyway, I brought some beers.
Yes, you did. I don't know how this is going
to go, but do you want to start with the Golden
Drak? Drak? What's the MPG on that one? 10 .5.
Okay. And then the other one that we have is...
Brother Thelonious. North Coast. Belgian style
Abbey Ale. Basically, this one is what it says.
We'll talk about it later. Usually, the monks
make this kind of beer. They're like, we in America
have a monk. His name is Thelonious. Yes. Which
one do you want to do? I can't. I can't read
the language on their site. Bow. Let's pop the
top, man. All right. This is going to get exciting.
I'm going to have to switch it back over here
so you can see me doing this. I'm looking for
the verbiage. Please don't let me hit you in
the face with this. Well, it'll be video evidence
if you do. Not if I keep the camera on me. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Here it goes, folks. Ready? Ready?
I'll hide behind the mic. Oh! Kaboom! Where's
the kaboom? Okay. These did not get as cold as
I would have liked, but... That's okay. I also
got these littler ones, not to replace the big
ones. Correct. But just in case we need to separate.
Where's the English? I don't know. Okay, so...
Because this is the Golden Drac. Is this the
blonde? No, this is the authentic dark red triple
ale. Dark red Golden Drac. So it's probably this
one, although it's just showing a different bottle.
You know what I should have is I should have
a feed from your computer going into this thing
so I can watch it looking up. That's what I should
have. That's next show. We're not quite there
yet, folks. All right, here's the pour with the
golden dark red triple ale. If this thing isn't
dark red, I'm going to be upset. That's not looking
very... Oh, there's the red. It took a second.
It took a little bit. That was not a very good
pour, but I'm not used to pouring on camera.
Hold on, let me get you better. There it goes.
I don't want to order the beer. I want information
about the beer. And I can't read. I did much
better on yours. This is over a computer. I am
not going to be trying to fill it to the very
top, guys. No, no, no, no, no, no. Just hold
on to your... It smells good. It's not... In
this glass, it doesn't look like what I'm seeing.
This is... This is, okay, listen, dark red triple
ale. I'm expecting, I mean, I've got, I do have
a big light shining on us. Yeah. I'm just saying
it's not what I would call dark red. That's what
they're showing. Oh, my. And that's not that.
No. So. So, show the camera. Show. Your camera.
Listen, stop showing off your touchscreen. That's
Windows. Okay, well. I'm still trying to find
verbiage. iPad. Yeah, it just doesn't carry the
same thing. No, it doesn't. I guess maybe they
don't give verbiage. There was some verbiage.
On the bottle? On the bottle. Because they don't
have anything on the site, which is surprising.
Nope, just says this beer is named in honor of
the dragon perched atop the belfry in Gent, Belgium,
a symbol of power and independence. Apparently
there is a range of golden drac to discover.
Okay. They have the blonde, they have the red,
they have the brew master, and then they have
the, well, how do I say it? I don't know what
you're about to say, but it sounds inappropriate
already. It's over 9 ,000. For those who know,
it's the golden track 9 ,000 quadruple. Okay,
okay. I can kind of, okay. Not really. Okay.
Y 'all calm down. So this is, yeah. I'm disappointed
that they don't give. you know a blurb yeah we
should have a blurb you should always have a
blurb especially if it's called the golden drac
golden drac yeah so well classic cheers i'm yeah
cheers i was here we go putting my nose in it
i'm nose in apple juice ah yes yeah okay okay
so it's not um it's not a dark beer no um i get
a little bit of the caramel maybe of a dark beer
but it's like it's mostly like um it's as and
this is a another lawnmower beer like the uh
nocturne oh yeah um nocturna that we did last
time oh how can i not remember it Delirium? Delirium
Nocturnum. Yeah. It's just very... I don't know.
Anytime... Okay, anytime I get a... It's kind
of Jeremiah Reddish. Yeah, it's like these reds,
sometimes I get that like apple taste. You know
what I mean? But this one doesn't have like a
weird off -putting end to it. Like it doesn't
have any of the like soapiness that some of them
mess up with. No, no, no, no, no. So... I like
it. This is not bad if you can find a Golden
Drac. I mean, there's others that I would get
before it. Well, that we haven't tried? That's
what I'm saying. Yeah, I don't know. Of the beers
that we've tried on the red side, it's not a
bad one. No. So what little bit they do have.
They say it is a red with soft pink foam head.
Yeah, maybe. I don't see pink. Do you see pink?
I don't see pink. Yeah, I get fruity. And then
the taste is soft, sweet, and fruity red fruit.
It's weird. The head is like persistent. It is.
Is it the right word? I wonder if it's one of
those like a soda. You kind of swirl your finger
in it and it goes away. Maybe. Not so much. Okay.
Well, now it's just on your finger. It's still
good. Everybody got to see Chris lick his finger.
Well, if they get to see the video. Michelle,
that's for you. Hey, family show, dude. Family
show. Yeah. So in case. In case we're getting
to actually post this, this is an attempt with
the Rodecaster Video S. And Chris is very disappointed
in his face. I have a face for radio. I own it.
See, look at that. Look at that ugly mug. That
should be on radio. I just. I don't know. I disagree.
I think that you're a very handsome man. Saw
you on your photos with your wife. Family show.
Saw you on your photos with your wife out for
your Valentine's. Oh, last night. What do you
call it? Post, post, post, post, post Valentine's?
Well, we try to avoid the craziness. Because
you're not stupid. Oh, I know. And so we got
to go to Bernard's. Again, I guess it's two shows
in a row I'm going to brag about restaurants
and Tyler. If you've never been, you need to
go. Bernard's Mediterranean on Broadway. It's
amazing. Anyway, so yeah, we got to go. That's
kind of a go -to for us. I've known Bernard since
I was a little kid. So we got a chance to sit
down and talk with him for a little bit last
night. Just kind of catch up, see how he was
doing. And because it was a Thursday at 7 .30
-ish, post -Valentine's. No rush. It was nice.
You didn't have a bunch of noise. They weren't
overrun. And we had a good meal. So go to Bernard's.
Yes. Always. And if you need to know, he does
have a good bar with a good selection. For sure.
I didn't get to really partake last time other
than the wine that somebody... ordered for us
which was good i'm not saying it wasn't good
it was good but it wasn't like hey let's all
order something different yeah well some things
maybe next time i doubt there'll be a next time
for one of those yeah that was i don't think
you're gonna do another 20 man i don't know i
don't know that i've got another 20 in me uh
i admit that pine cove is a young man's game
and i'm getting old I think we both are. Yes.
Well, look at the whiteness in my fuzz and see
how old I'm getting. Yeah, there it is. Well,
I'm going to go ahead and bring this up before
we actually drink this. Okay. I'm a little bit
nervous about this one. It is another Belgian.
Belgian style Abbey Ale. This is an Abbey Ale.
Belgian Abbey Ale, but it's by North Coast Brewing
Company. Any memory of North Coast Brewing Company?
Very, very bad memories. So we're going to find
out if it's... Fear and loathing. If this is
something that we should just all together abandon
or if there's, I don't know, redemption somewhere
inside of this. They recommend serving temperature
at 55 degrees. Well, I don't think it's 55 anymore.
No. We'll find out how this one is. But yeah,
I do remember North Coast and a certain Russian.
Oh, it was so bad. Yeah, no, not really fans
of the other one that we've tried from there.
But you can't write off a brewery. Brewery? Brewery.
Brewery. How many did you have before the show,
man? No, this is number one. You can't. We're
not doing that. Yeah, what's in that Dr. Pepper
cup over there? Or DQ? We are not talking. What
happens off the show stays off the show. That's
not true at all. What happens in Vegas stays
in Vegas type of thing? Okay. No, that's not.
Yikes. Lori. All right. Well, you know, I'm just
putting around here on this iPad. I'm trying
to change something. You go ahead and talk about
something that I don't know what we're going
to talk about. What is... Wait. What? Well, I'm
just continuing. Sorry, I'm going through the
Golden Drac page here. Okay, so we're still talking
about the golden apple wonder. Well, I'm looking
at variations here, and I'm just randomly scrolling,
scrolling, and scrolling, and I see Laphroaig.
Really? Yes. So I'm like, okay, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait. You have my attention. What's the
connection here? So after a special previous
edition, sounds fancy. The special Golden Drac
Cuvée Prestige Laphroaig is available again,
this time with our third batch. This version
has been aged for 16 weeks. There it is in Laphroaig
cast from the iconic Scottish distillery on the
island of Isley. Isley, how are you supposed
to say? Isley. Laphroaig is known for its distinct
peat flavor. Yes, it is. And that smoky, full
-bodied character is clearly evident in this
golden drac coudve, however it's pronounced.
It's two E's, and the first E's got the little
slashy over it. Nobody knows. Prestige Laphroaig.
Making for a unique and quirky blend that is
sure to surprise aficionados. I think probably
the word quirky needs to not appear with a beer.
Yeah. Like that seems like an IPA word. Yeah,
maybe. No, it's an IPA. Quirky is an IPA word.
Okay. And then they have a bourbon apparently
barrel aged. I mean, Scotch and bourbon aged.
I so don't know how to say that one. Madeira?
M -A -D -E -I -R -A? I don't know. Don't know.
All right. I'm sorry. I went off the deep end.
We're not cultured. I shouldn't have scrolled
through the page. It is what it is. I don't know
what to do with this video. You don't have to
do anything with it. It's just capturing who
you are. It is. stealing your soul stealing my
soul yes i'll swallow your soul if anybody knows
that movie yeah i mean go for it jason jason
uh i don't know if jason's seen that one or not
he's heard me talk about it whether he's seen
it i don't know it's army of darkness yeah but
again there's a lot of people that know it but
haven't necessarily seen it it's bruce campbell
Have we talked about Army of Darkness? I feel
like this show is where we've talked about Army
of Darkness. No doubt, because it's one of my
favorites of all time. I'm sure I brought it
up. Yeah. But yeah, I love that. With the chainsaw.
Yes, on the hand. On the hand. Yeah, and it's
the third one. He got sent back into medieval
times, and he's there, and the lady has become
infected, so to speak. As one would. And he's
like, no, no, no, it's a trick. Get an axe. And
then she pops up and I'll swallow your soul.
And he's all, yo, she wench. He didn't say wench
though. Family show. Come get some. Well, there
you go. I could quote that movie so much. I mean,
that's kind of the nature of some of the cult
classics like that one. Yes. And the one I watched
the other night. Blazing Saddles. Okay. But that
one is not appropriate for the family. There's...
But funny. And this I think I can say, and it's
relatively appropriate. There are very few things
that you can quote from that that are really
funny that aren't somehow... There's one. No,
there's... He's got him by the collar and he's
like, where the white women at? I just love the
scene. How is that the one, the quote that you
were going to go is like, no, this is good. We're
not going to get in trouble for this. Well, it's
not the, the sheriff is a, I mean, you know.
At no point is somebody saying white women is
a slur. No, no, no, no. But I mean, it's the
whole absurdity of that scene. He's literally
got him by the cuff of his. A shirt lifted up.
Oh, boys, look at what I got here. Where are
the white women at? Yeah. It's a different kind
of bait right there. Thank you, Mel Brooks. He's
pretty funny. Just not for this timid generation
that we're raising now. No, no, no. Yikes. Okay,
so do we want to dig in a little bit deeper on
why we're doing video? Yes, absolutely. That's
what I was hoping you would talk about. Okay.
Well, I do have an update that goes along with
what we're teasing here. Hit it. Yes. So a year
ago, January, we did an episode about the PodMobile
from Audio Sigma. Yeah. Mike. Yeah. Made by Fernando.
And I'm sorry if I butcher your last name. P
-I -R -E -S. So I reached out to him. Big fan,
Fernando. Yes, we both are. Reached out a couple
of weeks ago. Say, hey, we chatted a year ago.
It's been a while. Just want to check in, see
how you're doing. Would love to do a follow -up
show. on the PodMobile and the MyKero that you
sent me, are there any potential updates that
we need to be aware of to share with folks? Yeah.
And he's, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's
hardware changes. Send me your Gen 1, and I'll
send you back the new Gen 2. I'm like, yeah,
okay, you twisted my arm. So ship that. He is
supposedly shipping that out today, I believe.
Confirmed that he got mine. So that's going to
come back. And he's like, hey, once you get it
in, let's get on a phone call. Let's talk about
what it can do. One of the big things that it's
added is the ability to sync up your audio to
your video when you're recording a show like
this, when you don't have fancy gear. You mean
fancy gear that sometimes does what it's supposed
to and other times you're like, why is this not
working? It's like Microsoft Windows security.
When it's standalone, it's secure. It's solid.
When you try to plug it in, it's not so solid
anymore. Exactly what piece of Windows gear is
not plugged into something right now? I don't
know. I'm just telling you that they're certified
secure when it's air -gapped. I feel like I sent
you something that was air -gapped a couple weeks
ago. Probably so, yes. Like, oh, look, an air
-gap, or something like that. It felt like one
of those ones that we had been talking about
security issues, and I was like, look. Yes. It's
just, you just unplug it, and then it's fine.
Problem solved. No big deal. Mischief managed.
Oh, wow. So. So, yeah. So he is sending that
in and he was like, hey, once you get it. Fernando
is the man. Yes, he is. Let's get on a phone
call and talk about it. And I was like, sure,
that'd be great. And then I thought for a little
bit and I'm like, no, you idiot. Get him on the
show. So I responded back and I'm like, hey.
Yes. How would you like to come on the show?
And there was a bit of a delay, a few days. But
then he responded back and he's like, I'd love
to do it. And I'm like, oh, this is amazing.
So just kind of give us a time to work this stuff
out. And we'll get a date lined up with you and
we'll get you on the show. So at some point in
the near future, not by Jesus's definition, though,
because he said it a long time ago. But in the
near future, we will have Fernando in on the
show. Hopefully we'll have video as well to go
along with it, if not at least audio. Yeah. Of
course, we'll ask some of the... Partially why
we want to have video is so that we can start
to show what these products look like. Correct.
And when we're saying like, oh, well, look, and
you press this or you turn this or this is actually
really nice because one of the things that I
really liked about his were like the... the subtlety
of the controls, but also like the secure nature
of them was really nice. So, yes. So, um, but
we'll, we'll get him in. Um, and I've been joking
with my wife. I'm like, you know, this is the
one episode that for sure we're like a legit
show. Cause we've got this guy coming on. He's
like making stuff. He's like making stuff. And
he's coming on to our show. And I was like, so
I can at least check the box once and go real
podcaster. Thank you very much. Real legit podcaster.
Yes. So hopefully what it turns into is he can
send more guys our way who are trying to get
some exposure. And we can hopefully use it to
get more exposure ourself and get equipment in.
And we would really love to see. this part of
the show expand and grow and see what happens
well and stuff like this pushes you to make sure
that you're actually doing the things that you
said that you were gonna do well that's true
john redfern the number of times that chris is
like hey um remember how we set up social media
oh yeah i need i need my button epic fail yeah
no we're so bad at that I mean, I really would
like. Would you know how bad it would be if I
was in charge of social media? Like a little
brunette to, you know, do the social media. I
tried and she said no. Well, I'm asking now.
Well, I bet she'll still say no. Yeah, she'll
probably say no to me faster than you. So, but
yeah, we do want to expand this part of the show.
Not that we don't want to just hang out and do
like we've done for the last. Two plus years.
That's crazy to say. Crazy to say. But we do
want to see the show. I've got to pour some more
here because two plus years. But we do want to
see the show expand and grow. That's a lot of
head. I'm just bad at this. Like what happened?
Did you like tilt the bottle and control the
flow? I thought I was. It's not. It did not.
Nothing was controlled. There was nothing controlled
about it. Yeah, that's a show everybody at home.
I think I did. This is terrible. How about a
carbonated beverage? Yeah, no, this is, I don't
know what happened. It was not good. You do better.
I will try. Come on out, my friend. All right,
now I'm just. Well, there wasn't that much left,
to be honest. But it's about the controlled port.
I don't. I'm not very good at control. Well,
you're flipping the camera back and forth. I
think you'll notice when you watch this video
that I'm not very good at control. Well, I'm
trying to keep my focus over here, which means
everybody at home is getting that profile. We
set these cameras up and literally to... I mean,
it was probably 45 seconds. So there, there is
no, like you're, I'm in the frame. He's in the
frame. That's really what we're trying to do
on this particular episode of this. Yeah. And
honestly, if you're, you're expecting more than
it's because this is your first show. We just
like two dudes who just set something up in the
garage. I could not agree more. It's if this
was a, it's not far off of a garage. Well, yeah,
yeah. You at least have a white wall behind you.
White -ish. Yeah. Cream. Some kind of light -ish
color. Whatever they paint houses that nobody
lives in. It's eggshell. Yes, eggshell for sure.
So, okay. But yeah, so we want to see that part
of the show grow and expand. Obviously... It's
probably not going to be every show. That would
be amazing. We get to that point. Um, if we get
to that point, we had like a list of things that
we were like waiting to talk about. Oh, if we
ever got to that point, that's like straight
up exit strategy at that point. Yeah. You're
really hoping for that exit strategy. It would,
I mean, if you know, at some point in the future,
I'm stepping away to do this full time. That's
not a bad gig. No. That's not a bad gig at all.
It's a great gig. It's just, you know, it feels
a little bit like your child coming to you and
saying, I want to be an influencer when I grow
up. Yeah. And it's the kind of thing that you
really should have started probably about 10
years ago. Because right about now you'd be getting
the traction type of thing. So we say exit strategy.
I know you're doing everything you can to get
that head to go down. I mean, just anything,
guys. Bubbles. Bubbles. There is more beer in
it than there was earlier. Have you tried the
finger? No. Now I just moved the head around.
You did. And now you just licked your finger.
And on camera. Lori. Look at that. Family show,
dude. So, bottom line. We're working to get Fernando
on. Looking forward to it. I think it's going
to be a great show. We will try to have all the
quirks ironed out by then. We will see if we
can achieve live status for that show. Wouldn't
that be cool? Even if it's just audio only, we'll
try to achieve live status. I'm going to have
to spend some money on marketing, though. I'm
going to have to. I'm sorry, what? Well, I want
that show to try to catch. So I'm going to have
to make a donation to my personal favorite podcast,
No Agenda. And say. And say, hey, Podfather,
do you remember how you introduced all of us
to Fernando and the Pod Mobile with Audio Sigma?
Well, guess what? He's coming on my show. And
I would love for everybody out in the radio land
to partake of that show. And if we've got it
live, awesome. You can send boosts live in the
show. We'll see if we can figure out how to read
those. If not, we'll get to them afterwards and
we'll send Fernando his cut of the boosts. Absolutely.
Here's the thing. Did you see the Apple announcement
about the podcast? No, you know I don't pay attention
to Apple. Well, I know you don't pay attention
to Apple, but they're doing video. They're making
it possible for you to put video on your podcast.
Still not 2 .0. No, no. I'll be curious to see
if they do alternate enclosure to achieve that
or what they're going to do. The one thing that
that will do is it will make video more prevalent,
which is a double -edged sword for podcasting.
To me, podcasting will always be audio. Audio
first. Audio first, yes. You need to have a RSS
feed, an enclosure, and an audio feed. or audio
recording. Anything beyond that is extra. And
so when you get into video, you are kind of drifting
a little bit out of podcast and more into YouTube,
Twitch, and things of that nature. Video killed
the radio star. That's what they tell me. So,
oh, there's a slight burp there. Sorry about
that. Yeah. that was kind of like a failed attempt
at a guttural release. So their news release
or whatever says a new video experience coming
to Apple podcasts, deliver video that integrates
seamlessly with your existing podcast, monetize
on your terms and use the same tools and workflows
you rely on today. You stay in control while
giving your audience more ways to engage. And
by gauge, I think they mean... Need more details.
Yeah, there's no boosts involved with this. They're
not talking about that. No. A fan can start listening
on the go, then instantly switch to video when
they get home, right where they left off. Apple
Podcasts now supports video delivery using HLS.
HLS, that's their standard. A new standard. For
podcasts that enhances the experience without
interrupting features you and your audience rely
on. Followers and downloads continue to work
the same and your audience can engage with your
show as they always have. I'll be curious to
see how they approach it. Because again, that
wording is 2 .0 adjacent without coming out and
saying we're grabbing those elements of 2 .0.
no i think i think that's actually more in line
with the way that pot or that apple does everything
is they're not going to do 2 .0 they're going
to be adjacent and they're going to be like see
our stuff is better and it's like you are behind
perpetually they're talking about i mean even
the fact that it says uh that they're you know
you're uh uh followers and downloads continue
to work the same and your audience can engage
with your show as they always have is like that's
legacy but it's a where was it right um where
they talked about that you could when you get
home you could pick it back up and no um you
it was at the beginning you stay in control while
you're giving your audience more ways to engage
and i want to be like okay i see what you're
saying more ways to engage video is more ways
to engage you're not talking about boosts you're
not talking about anything that's that direct
if it was that direct you would like this is
this is apple's things if they can't if they
can't get the money from it they're not interested
in it well that's what's intriguing is that they're
saying that you can monetize it your way and
i think they mean monetize it by having like
you can advertise i don't know it's just well
i i guess what i'll have to do is because when
did this come out this announcement since last
friday yeah i got an i got an email but i don't
remember if it was uh before friday or after
friday okay so for me what i would do in in situations
like this just like when they did uh it says
apple podcast is an open platform No. You control
your monetization. No. Okay. Liars. Look at my
face. Yes. You're a bunch of liars. You sit on
a throne of lies. You smell like beef and cheese.
Yeah. So I will listen to this Friday's. Podcasting
2 .0, so that will hit tomorrow. I have no doubt
we'll discuss this because when Apple introduced
transcripts, they really dug into that. What
are they doing? How does it play with 2 .0? So
I will be curious to see what they have to say
about this in 2 .0. Choose your hosting provider,
your ad partners, and your business model. And
for the first time, you can dynamically insert
video ads. Ouch. Include host read through your
hosting partner. So you can like, you know, when
you say like this is, there's a lot of people
that read their own ads. Delivering targeted
campaigns with full creative control. Not what
I'm talking about. No, the fact that they're
talking about dynamic ad insertion is, it just
shows that they don't get it. Because anybody
who has experienced that in a podcast, that's
jarring. I mean, you're listening to a podcast
and it's just rolling along and gold. And it's
like, what just happened? I mean, now one of
the greats at it is, now I can't get his name
out. Not Adam Carolla, the other Jewish guy.
Ben, help me. I'm drowning over here. Ben Shapiro.
There you go. Ben Shapiro. Oh, my gosh. If you've
ever listened to a Shapiro. No, the other Jewish
guy. The Shapiro show. He's like, gold. And it's
like, whoa, dude. Yeah, he's rapid fire on everything
that he's delivering. And the ads are like, he
goes even faster. Correct. He just like, boom,
right into it. And it's like, oh, my gosh. Him
and Mark Levin. The great one, Mark Levin. So
yeah, I'll be curious to see how they're adopting
that. If they are, I do believe, I do believe
that their implementation of transcripts actually
does function with 2 .0. Well, that's nice of
them. So I'll be curious to see if this does
the same. Especially since they're saying work
with your own hosting company. Yeah, that does
seem like something that they would have to...
That would be intriguing. It needs to be a different
thing. I think I'm ready to break into Thelonious.
Yeah, we're definitely ready for Thelonious.
I think maybe you should pour your own Thelonious
so that I don't. Well, I don't want to pour it
in the glass. No, that's why you've got your
big glass. Oh, you want me to pour it in the
big glass. I can do that. I was going to say,
if I pour it in there. There's two of them you
can pour into that big glass. Oh, so you're trying
to get me drunk. I am not. That's Michelle. He's
encouraging me to drink, folks. You heard it.
Michelle. All right. We're on the same team.
Same team. That was the letdown. Remember that
time you gave me a bottle opener and I still
haven't. It's still in the box. Still sitting
over there. It's been out of the box for the
record. It just hasn't. Found a permanent home.
Found a permanent home. But I actually do know.
where the permanent home is, and we'll get to
that as soon as we get done with this beer. I'm
not sure how I feel about that. I think maybe
it's been spoiled by not being 55 degrees. Oh,
I don't know. There's something there. Spicy
almost? Is it medicine of some kind? This could
spell the end of North Coast on this show. I
think you may be right. All right. This is not
a good look for you, North Coast. We may not
be the show for you. This is one of those times
where I go, I wish I could quit on a beer. Here
we go. Do you want to go wash that out? You may
be like, no, because we don't have water in this
house. Oh. Yet. It's supposed to come tomorrow.
Tomorrow, okay. All right, here we go. We don't
live in this house. Here we go. Oh, don't give
it that much hype. Like, that's not going to
go well. Oh, my gosh. Okay, it's me. I'm the
problem. Is that a Taylor Swift? No, that's 2001
A Space Odyssey. No, I'm saying me. I said, it's
me. I'm the problem. Oh, well, maybe that is.
It's the same color. But I mean, look at that.
You got like. What happened? Half a glass of
foam. Guys. And I got nothing. No, look, look
at me. Do not judge me. I have done this before
and it doesn't look like this. Well, I don't
know that mine went any better because you went
a little bit. have had on your beard generally
speaking maybe but all right how does it smell
now same oh oh oh guys i'm not sure this is gonna
go well so we maybe can we turn the cameras off
we may be turning off the video for a little
bit just to make sure that we don't um Give the
faces... Why don't you drink it without the camera
on you, and then I'll drink it without the...
I'm going to mute you. Well, isn't that the whole
reason for the camera? It is. To show this? But
I don't know that we want to do that much damage.
Well... Well, go ahead. I mean, we're not...
Yeah, it's fine. Go ahead. You already sprung
the cameras on me, so... Sprung the cameras on...
This was his idea. For Fernando. We are not going
to beta something with Fernando. No, no, no,
no, no. Too nice to us. Yeah, he has. We need
to take care of Fernando. All right, here we
go, folks. Good Lord. Cheers? No. Oh, not even
a cheers. Here we go. Oh, I can't. It's so bad.
I'm so nervous. I don't want to. Well. Oh. Oh,
it's coming on. Oh. Whoa. Oh, that was sneaky.
Rasputin, you need to do something with what
happens after the initial taste. Well, in fairness,
this isn't old Rasputin bad. I think old Rasputin
is like the pinnacle of like, this is horrible.
That wasn't bad to start. And then it just kind
of builds. And he's just over there chugging
it to get it out of the way, folks. That's what
John's doing. Okay, let it build. Let it build.
It's building. Okay, I was expecting worse. I
was expecting worse. I was expecting worse. Sure.
I will tell you that was, I don't know that I
will be drinking number two. No, I don't think
I will. But I'm going to get through number one.
Yeah. Yeah, this is can't recommend. That's 0
for 2 for North Coast. Sorry, guys. I want to
be able to recommend beers to you, so here's
my recommendation from the show. Oh, tonight?
Yes, absolutely. Golden Trap. Go get this beer.
It's not bad. No, it's not bad at all. Especially
if you like reds. I think maybe... I think I
found the problem with this North Coast beer.
If you drink reds and you're like... I've had
some reds that hold on a little too long. This
is a good red for you. It doesn't hold on very
long. And it's a 10. 10%, yes. 10 .5 by volume.
This is... It's a disappointment. Other one is
a 9 .4. Okay. So I would say the problem with
North Coast is that it's from California. You're
probably right. California. It wasn't on the
bottle. It was on the, okay, let me find this
real quick. On the box. On the bottom. They actually
have a few things written here. So North Coast
Brewing Company, independent since 1988, said
about Brother Thelonious, this is called Brother
Thelonious, Belgian style Abbey Ale, with all
the interest. with all the interest in Belgian
ales and in the monasteries that brew them, it's
time to remind the world that here in the U .S.
we have a monk of our own. Jazz legend Thelonious
Monk is the inspiration for North Coast Brewing's
Belgian -style Abbey Ale with an ABV of over
9%. When they say over 9%, you're expecting more
than 9 .4. 9 .1. 9 .4. Yeah, okay. This dark,
strong... This dark, strong ale is rich and robust.
Bottled bebop. Do people call jazz bebop? I don't
think that's what that is. I like cowboy bebop.
I'm just... I don't... Anyway. North Coast Brewing
is proud to make a donation from the sale of
every bottle and keg of Brother Thelonious Belgian
Style Abbey Ale to the jazz education programs
of the Monterey Jazz Festival. Okay. If you're
going to talk about Abbey Ales, I guess they
did name it Thelonious, so jazz education makes
sense, but like give it to a monastery. It's
what it is. Won't someone please think of the
children? These godless liberals. Brother Thelonious,
Belgian -style Abbey Ale. Let's call this Brother
Thelonious, a delicious Belgian -style Abbey
Ale that could be a monk's dream. Nope. Very
misterioso. Okay, so this is... Really misterioso.
They're doing plays on... Thelonious Monk's music.
Should be enjoyed straight, no chaser. Well,
you needn't wait until round midnight. Ask me
now. Look up the songs. Thelonious Monk is great.
Jazz music is weird, but great. Rasputin is waving
at me. Yeah, no, let's not talk about Rasputin.
I'm on their site, and if you scroll down to
the bottom, he's all doing this. I'm telling
you, that was, what was the one, which one was
the one that had the, it was the orange one that
had the dude on it that I was like, oh, that's
somebody's uncle. And it was. Yeah. Boo. I can't
think of that beer, but yes, I know which one
you're talking about. I feel like it had an orange
label. We're not going to get it off of orange
label and dude, but probably not. I feel like
it was like it, it was, it was a cleric. Like
there was a guy with a priest. Yes. Father something.
Oh, I don't think I'm. into that account or I
could have easily just found the picture. Well,
I might be. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Nope, I'm not. Epic fail. You're not a failure,
Chris. I believe in you. We're all failures in
this life. Okay. All right, I'm trying. No, I
don't want to go to that. We've drank a lot of
beers in this show. We have. This is not the
worst beer by any stretch of the imagination.
No, there's some kind of spice there. The worst
beer did come from this company. Here we go.
Podcast. Just wrong. Maybe make sure if you have
this North Coast Brewing Company Brother Thelonious
Belgian Style Abbey Ale. That you make sure that
it's colder than what I could achieve before
this show. Come on, load. Load. Load yourself.
Well, it's not showing me the thumbnails. Come
on, Google. Which one are you looking at? I'm
trying to find the one that you were talking
about. Yeah, but, oh, so you're looking at our
show. Yeah, see, when I do. The show notes, I
keep behind the pictures for everyone that we
do that I put into the show notes. I'm so proud
of you. It's not Black Butte. No. It's not the
Black Quad. No. Not the Shoots. Nope. Definitely
not Jemay. Lord, no. Not Founders. Not Full Grown.
Horny Monk. Oh, my gosh. I think that's it. I
think that's it. Let's see. Oh, no, no, no, no.
I don't think it's that one either. Let me check.
I really do need to get a feed from our computers
into this thing because I just need you to see
some of these pictures. No, it's not Horny Monk.
Because Horny Monk is funny. It's not the one
that we're talking about. No, Jeremiah's. Oh,
it's not real. Reverend. There it is, Reverend.
Yes, the Reverend. I'm going to be very specific
in what I type in this time. Oh, no. Oh, you
said you turned it off. I did. I turned off my
iPad. I did not turn off my phone, which is a
mistake. There you go. Yeah, the reverend. The
reverend. I mean, okay, I know, I know, I know
that what they're going for is, like, it is old
man or old, like, old reverend with praying hands,
like, hold on. Yeah, but he just looks like he's
going to kill you. He's got, like, Jeffrey Epstein
intentions on his face. Yeah. There's a much
better, like guys, like hello boys and girls
that there's nothing. Nope. Nope. If you walk
into a church and you see that kind of dude,
get out, just run for your life. Run for your
lives. I just, I don't like showing me the preview.
I don't like it's, Before you put something on
a can that you're going to send out to people,
there are people that see what's going to go
on the can, and somebody saw that and was like,
that's what we're going for. I'll borrow from
a lady on YouTube. I don't remember her name.
One 13 -year -old boy is all it would have took
to avoid that. You just need somebody who's like,
that looks really creepy. And maybe that's what
they were going for. I remember not liking it
very much. But maybe that's because I couldn't
get the image out of my head while I was drinking
it. I'm verklempt. I'm on the Brother Thelonious
monk page here for the beer. And if you scroll
down far enough, it says. The sweet and luscious
flavors of candy nuts reel you in on the first
sip. Liars! Don't do that. Liar! We could be
very useful to a beer marketing team, I feel
like. Oh, yeah. The beer and gear consulting
group. but for serious for serious so oh gosh
there's something orange peely nutmeggy type
of spice okay I agree with the nutmeg like I
don't know that I the only thing that I taste
inside of orange peel and not like again There's
a distinction between orange and orange peel.
And if you don't know that distinction, you're
not going to get this. Go bite into an orange.
Maybe the orange peely is the separation that
I'm tasting between these things. But the nutmeg
is a very... I wouldn't say subtle. It's not
the predominant flavor, but it's just there.
And unmistakably there that it makes it... I
don't know. Chris. Yeah, I got nothing. I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to see if they had anything else
on the site that would kind of... Justify this.
Redeem them. I see a bunch of IPAs, which is
a no -go. I will say there were other... north
coast there's one called at prankster world market
which is turning into one of our places to go
especially when it comes to like we're trying
to find a beer that we don't yeah i mean we live
in east texas so they're just they're not a lot
of places that's gonna have a i don't know i
shouldn't say that oh okay there are not a lot
of places that are gonna have things that aren't
ipas that are random i think i found one that
maybe maybe could redeem them. It's a stout,
and it is dark. I don't trust you with anything,
North Coast. It's a little high on the IBU. It's
a 53, and it's only 5 .4%. It is a Dublin dry
stout. I'd be willing to give it a chance, but
if that's strike number three, I think you're
out. yeah for sure you're out yeah if you can't
pull it off you're giving him one more strike
than i'm gonna give him like i'm not i'm i'm
not trying to foul out here well i see a stout
and i'm like okay you're you're you're talking
to me but you're on thin ice when you play baseball
you know that you're not supposed to bunt on
third strike like you just you don't bunt on
third strike no um there's too many opportunities
for things to go wrong um you i've never wanted
to bunt so much on a third beer like i'm not
i'm not willing to give you like i will give
you like half of like if do you have little bottles
because this is too much airplane bottles like
airplane bottles do you have airplane bottles
but you have like the travel side size bottles
of beer because i'm not really i'm not i'm not
going for no you're uh this is messing with me
I'm going to finish it because again, I don't
quit on a beer and I still don't know where to
look with the camera. Cause I'm all like, I'm
down here. I'm over here. Sometimes I'm up here
and I'm like, where, where, where, where's, where's
my camera? Where's my view? It's right there.
Yeah. But I mean, I don't, I don't know how to,
yes. And I need my camera like over there. Yes.
We'll work on that. And I need your camera like
right here and I got to make sure I don't bump
your camera. Yes. We will work on that because
I do want you to look at me. In the camera and
at you. But also. I think you need to wear the
camera on your head. You need to stop looking
up at it because. But the TV. It's like going
to the Cowboys game. I don't know where to look.
I paid for this football game, but there's this
giant TV and I'm like, I'm mesmerized. There
are people. Bigger. than they are in real life
on that screen. Sure. So it's hard not to look
at it to try to figure out what's going on. But
also, that kind of defeats the purpose of being
there. Correct. Yeah, that's what drives me insane
is I'm here to watch the football game, not your
TV, Jerry. Yeah, I mean. Come on, Jerry. I would
say the same thing about baseball, but honestly.
Baseball is a different thing. I want to see
things like you're looking at the whole field.
Okay, we're not going to get into this right
now, but I'm a baseball fan, and I think that
there are more things happening on the field
than they show on the limited view that they
can do on a TV. So going to a baseball game is
different in my mind, and I understand if you
don't think so. I understand if you're like,
this is the slowest game ever. I don't agree
with you. People are playing golf, and they hit
the ball, and then they walk for a long time.
And there are things that are happening every
pitch, and I understand you don't understand
what they are or you don't care what they are.
All of that makes sense. I'm not requiring you
to be a baseball fan. But if I hear one more
person say that baseball is not a sport, I am
going to lose it. I agree. It's not football.
You're not going to risk bodily injury every
single time you go out there, but I don't think
you've been hit with a 95 -mile -an -hour fastball
either. And I don't want to be either. No, who
does? Nobody does. They're not wearing pads.
They wear that little helmet. Yep. And now they've
got the little mouth guard to make sure that
they don't lose their face. Thank you, Giancarlo
Stanton. That little extra piece of plastic.
Yeah. It knocks the helmet out of the way when
a 98 mile an hour fastball hits them. Yes. They're
still going home with their teeth in a bag. Yeah,
they are. And about the only other protective...
obviously other than the catcher is the batter
might have a, well, there's cups. We're all wearing
cups and you know why? Cause if that ball hits
you in the nuts, you're done. You're done. You
done screwed up a Ron. Um, no, I was going to
say sometimes if you have a tendency to foul
it off low, you'll see the guys that wear the
shin and the upper foot guard. I, there's a lot
of guys like they're way more guys that wear
those than, Oh, and. My son played a little league,
so I've got to give the shout out to the, um,
the oven mitt sliding glove. Um, so we, we played
in arcade, played in a couple different teams
and a few of the guys had, um, evidently their
parents had money to burn cause they would buy
them sliding, uh, mitts. And when you're a professional
baseball player and you are stealing bases, if
you're not stealing bases, I don't understand
why you would have a sliding mitt. But if you
are stealing bases, it makes total sense because
these guys play with metal spikes and they will
come down on your hand and then you're done for
a while while your hand heals from being crushed
by metal spikes. Yes. And you've got to slide
and touch the bag. And if you dislocate your
finger, that messes with a lot of different things.
It's a game where you use your hands a lot. Sorry,
I'm bourbon all over the place. Goodness. It's
like my digestive system is like, what kind of
beer are you drinking? Stop drinking. But what's
really funny is watching Little Leaguers buy
sliding mitts when they're not legally allowed
to slide with their hands first. Yeah. They have
to slide feet first in order to not. injure themselves
correct and they all come out with these batting
gloves on and they've got to like get time out
at first while they put their uh or not batting
glove their sliding glove on um they've got to
call time out at first while they take their
batting glove off and put their sliding glove
on time and lori's favorite thing when kade was
um playing the league was she really wanted every
game to run out there with a uh Yes. To give
him because it's hilarious. That would be amazing.
That would be amazing. That truly would be amazing.
I don't remember what all we were talking about
with baseball. I don't know. It was very important
there for a minute. Yeah, I don't know how we
got on that. And I guess I've honestly never
seen the sliding mitt until right now looking
at the page. You've never seen any sliding mitt?
I would say no. Never have. Watch. Baseball?
No. Okay. No, I don't. There's an SNL reference
if anybody gets it. No. No, I don't. I got it.
Do you have anything to add? No. No, I don't.
It's the Bee Gees Brothers. SNL. Well, yeah.
For those who know, if you know, you know. It's
an inside joke. And if you don't, you don't.
Apparently, yes. No, honestly, having gone to
watch a game in Arlington and watched some on
TV, I don't know that I've – maybe I've seen
it and not realized it, but I'm looking at this
and I'm going, I don't think I've ever seen this
before. If you're not looking for it, then it
wouldn't be something that really stands out
at you because – Um, really the only guys in,
in the major leagues that wear them right now,
I feel like are guys that like they're trying
to steal and it makes total sense. Like they're
the number of times that guys that are stealing
all the time, like the, the really fast dudes,
the guys that are, are, as they call it a threat
on the bases, they're sliding in and they are
like trying to touch the bag as deceptively or
as like, barely as they can whatever the word
that you would use there is and they're trying
to touch it while somebody is coming down on
them with the ball and a lot of times it's with
their foot yep sometimes it's with their hand
and that would be nice i miss the days where
they were just hitting you hard with the ball
like these it used to be that the um guys playing
you know second or short stop or third Had to
worry about getting spiked because the runner
would come in with their cleats up. Yep. And
they still do that. But, like, that was the worst.
But can you imagine, like, getting cleated in
the ankle or the shin is really painful. It's
not, like, that's nothing to be messed with.
But coming down on somebody's hand with your
cleats? Meat grinder. I just feel like there's
surgeries involved. Could be for sure, yeah.
Not band -aids, not stitches like surgeries.
We're going to try to put your fingers back together
now. So I would say, since we're on the sports
kick, the one sport that I've come to enjoy watching
in person, I can't watch it on TV, is hockey.
Why can't you watch it on TV? It's quite boring
on TV. There's something about being there and
the camaraderie with the people in the arena.
And you can see all the ice. And so you can see
all the things that are going on that aren't
necessarily seen on TV and the way that you can
observe, the way that they substitute. It is
funny, you saying that, the number of times that
I've watched TV or watched... I don't watch hockey
on TV. I don't watch hockey. We live in Texas.
Sorry. It's not the favorite sport. But the number
of times that I have watched and been like, I
know that they're making line changes, but you
never see it happen because that's not what the
TV or the camera is following. That was an awkward
pause. I was like, no. Yes. Yeah, but see, when
you're there, you can actually see the line change
happen. You can see the guys literally jump over
the wall, skate out, and the guy's coming off
while the game is still being played. It's interesting
to see. Man, I grew up in the 90s in Dallas.
I remember when all of a sudden we had the stars
and they were not bad. No, they weren't. And
then they got a Stanley cup. Yeah. Like I, I
rollerbladed. Ooh, I had a watch out in line
skate. I had inline skates. I was shooting that
little ball and we had the, we had the puck that
had the like balls on the, yeah, whatever. That
thing didn't work. I don't know if that's made
for something other than the asphalt that I grew
up on, but like the racquetball that was harder.
Yes. The little plastic ball, like that thing,
number one, ow. Yes. Because we didn't play with
pads. We played with sticks and we were in Texas,
so we had our shirts off. Shirts versus skins?
No, like everybody had their, you have to remember
who's on your team. Like if you're playing in
your neighborhood, I lived in a cul -de -sac.
That's true. If you're playing in your neighborhood,
like you got to remember who's on your team.
And so you just took your shirt off and you were
playing in shorts, no pads, skates, and you had
your, oh my gosh. Who's the, George Brett, like.
Yeah, Brett. Stick. Brett Hall. Brett Hull. George
Brett. George Brett's baseball. Pine tar. Oh,
my gosh. Sorry. Sorry. Brett Hull. I'm not a
hockey fan. He's had one too many, folks. Does
this count? Yes, it counts. I don't. Did you
finish it? I did finish it. Oh, you beat me.
I'm on the tail end. Well, I just was really
excited that it wasn't all head at some point.
And so I drink it. Also, I feel like it feels
like it takes a lot longer out of the big mugs.
Yeah. For those of y 'all that haven't, like,
we haven't done video. So, like, this is the
mug that we're talking about. The mug du jour.
It is enormous. yes i have one just like it it
is massive and when we say you can pour like
a 16 ounce bottle in it and it is it doesn't
look like i think you can get 20 to 24 ounces
in here it's like right over the ridges like
when you pour a 16 ounce like right here yeah
maybe a little right there yeah this is this
is way more than a pint they come they kind of
beat you to it awesome no like this is a pint
That thing is way bigger than a pint. That's
not a pint. Isn't a pint 16? I really thought
that this was a 16 ounce. Maybe. Maybe. Anyway.
It's more than an 8, so it's more than a cup.
It's not 12. That's got to be a 16. Are you thinking
that's smaller? Maybe it's 16. I don't know.
I don't know. I'm not good with math. I'm not
good at estimating. Well. Incoming. It was a
good show. I hope that this shows. Oh, my gosh.
Somebody had to do it at some point. At some
point, for sure. Hey, everybody took us like
53, 54 shows for that to officially happen. I
mean, I can't believe that I didn't have it on
you that entire time. Really, really, really
sad. Plausible deniability. Sure. I don't know
where that burp came from. Who did that? What'd
you do? The hope here is that we have put this
somewhere where you can see it, and it'll be
YouTube. It'll end up on the YouTube channel,
yeah. Just letting you know, but the audio should
be everywhere. Boy, the folks who finally see
us on YouTube are going to be so disappointed.
Like, oh my gosh, I'm sorry that I spent this
much time listening to these guys. I've watched
these goobers. This is, that was a lot. Yeah.
All right. Well, see you everybody. See you,
Chris. My podcast stinks compared to these guys.
I gotta tell you, these guys do an incredible
job.
