S5-E19, Our palates took us on an Appalachian adventure where the craft beers flowed as freely as the laughter. Rick's latest foray into Bridge Brew Works had us sipping on the formidable Three Rivers Triple, along with the Dun Glen Ale and Pergin Porter Lager, all while swapping tales from Fayetteville's whitewater rapids to the perils of post-beer pizza. It's not just about the brews though; our banter spanned from the nostalgia of indoor shopping malls to the curious case of Peter Pan peanut butter's place in the market. 

The chat took an intriguing turn when we contrasted Carlsberg Brewery's Danish drinking policies with our own workplace cultures. Could a tipple on the clock ever fly in the US, or are we destined to keep such pleasures reserved for our off-hours? As we mulled over this with a Belgian style triple in hand, we couldn't help but reminisce about Blockbuster nights and how they've given way to the seamless stream of today's digital services. 

Wrapping things up, we couldn't resist sharing our brewery beer ratings and the memories that these flavors conjured up – from sneaking candy into movie theaters to the simpler joys of video rental stores. While the beers tantalized our taste buds, we playfully debated their fridge-worthy status. So sit back, crack open your beverage of choice, and join us for a toast to the past, sprinkled with a healthy dose of contemporary musing.

Speaker 2:

welcome back to another region drink. I'm your host, bobby, with my two co-hosts, princess, dr, dr's, in the house. It was always in the house. We said that every week I live here.

Speaker 3:

What else you want me to say?

Speaker 2:

I think we used to say that back in the day when you didn't even live in the house dr's in the house, probably, maybe, maybe. Um, actually we're trying three beers from one company brewing company, and they're going to be out of Bridge Brew Works and this is out of Fayetteville, west Virginia. Rick was on a trip down there so he brought back us three sample beers. We got Three Rivers Triple which we're going to try. First it's a Belgian style triple and now this bad boy is 9.5. So we're going straight with that one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, all the rest will taste good.

Speaker 3:

All the other ones, I don't know yes, yeah they go downhill from there, yeah maybe I don't know, they were all pretty good beers. No, I mean yeah alcohol goes downhill.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but they'll probably be better because we won't realize it. Yeah, maybe we got a dun glen um. Again, this one is going to be 7% and this one is at Ale. It says so that should be good, that'll be great. And then the last one is Pergin Porter. Now, this is a lager. It's 7.2. And again, these are out of Fayetteville, west Virginia. Rick went down there. He brought us back three special beers, so we're going to try one, but we're going to split them so we don't get really tore up or anything.

Speaker 3:

As much as much you guys know where this is at. You guys have been through this place.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we drove by a thousand miles, it's right off 19. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

But it's right, on 19, actually Highway 19 down through there. Down through there you go over that big bridge. That's why it's bridge.

Speaker 2:

Bre. That's why it's bridge Brewery.

Speaker 3:

It's that bridge that has the white wall. You can do the walk underneath the bridge and stuff like that?

Speaker 2:

Really, I've never done that. I always just drive past. Remember one time we were waiting for someone? We pulled off on the side of the bridge waiting for someone to catch up to us. Billy, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

I mean, it's a cool place. Fayetteville is an absolutely beautiful little mountain town, dude, and it's all whitewater, rafting, kayaking type Small little place. Yeah, it's small little, but it's really cute. Yeah, they should be good. That's where we got. The last week's two was Free Folk.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was just right outside of that outside of fayetteville yeah every time I think of fayetteville, I always think of north carolina. Yeah, yeah, down there. Oh, that's a, that's a light beer, it looks like. Now they call this the three rivers triple because they say that they got the new river, gallery and the Bluestone River going in together. So that's where they get it, the Belgian-style triple Triple ale 12.7 ounces 9.5. That looks good.

Speaker 3:

I thought it was a good beer. I honestly I was like, yeah, that's fucking really good.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's fucking good. That's good. It's good beer. It's got a sweetness on it A little bit yeah. Let me see the bottle. The other one empty, one by Rick. I'm just curious because it is pretty good, it's got a sweet flavor to it yeah, belgium style. See, this would be up my alley because of the belgium stuff yeah that's pretty good, it's ice cold smell itself is like, not not not as pleasant, yeah, but the taste yes yeah, that's pretty good, pretty good pretty good.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I thought it was. Uh, uh, yeah, out of well. Like I said, I didn't try their other two because that's what they had bottled and I didn't want to try to bring a growler back and wait two weeks, whatever to do it.

Speaker 2:

Now, normally, if I'm not mistaken, isn't it like a Belgium style? Normally a wheat, it's on the wheat side.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's what. Isn't that what Blue Moon is? Yeah, it's what. Isn't that what Blue Moon is? Yeah, it's a balsa style wheat.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, wheat's always tear up my little belly. Eating that pizza tonight and drinking a wheat beer.

Speaker 3:

I'm in trouble tomorrow.

Speaker 2:

I hate to be in my office tomorrow. You just go back. I hate going by your room in the morning.

Speaker 3:

I hate somebody else being in your office tomorrow. What's that smell?

Speaker 2:

Just stand right there, I'll come to you, can you shut the door when you come in?

Speaker 3:

What's that?

Speaker 2:

I'm going to die in here.

Speaker 3:

Help me. Concentration camp. I'm already sweating bullets.

Speaker 2:

You got a lot of meetings tomorrow. You always have a lot of meetings after we have the worst stuff you could drink. Well, he always has to go in early too.

Speaker 3:

I have to go in early, yeah, so I don't even get to digest it off or wait for it to brew down and just sweat it out and hook it up, sweat and shit it out.

Speaker 1:

Oh, here you go, that's my asshole sweating.

Speaker 2:

It's just perking out. I'm like, please no one come in now.

Speaker 1:

And all of a sudden they come in. I'm like what's that?

Speaker 2:

I was coming in my trash His ass stinks so bad in the morning when I go in that room I can smell outside the door. I save it for Tracy she opens the door.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's right, because she has to go in there and get ready.

Speaker 2:

She's like what the hell, I hear her yell sometimes. She never asks me to stay the night anymore.

Speaker 3:

No, you're okay to go home. Share that with your wife. It was really nice to see you.

Speaker 2:

That's why she don't want me to come home because she likes it when I'm here, and then she can sleep she gets to sleep instead of the couch, or something.

Speaker 1:

Smelt.

Speaker 2:

Ooh, man, because the guy we were golfing well, he was disc golfing yesterday and he had got a wheat beer right and he says oh, why don't you get it? I said yeah, that's good. I said but me and wheat don't agree. And he's like what do you mean? I said I, me and wheat don't agree. And he's like what do you mean? I said I'll be later Tonight, I'll be walking, I'll be like oh, I think I just shit myself, right, right. And then that's when I was like yeah, but I do like them, I do like them. So I forgot that we had these. Oh, I do like them.

Speaker 3:

I do like them. I forgot we had these and so I stopped by. And what's next week's highest? Um, a blackberry wheat from molar brewery uh-huh, which is out of ohio somewhere, okay. And a raspberry burnt sour bourbon aged, really bourbon. Yeah, it says barrel age, barrel age. That's why they get the raspberry burnt. Yeah, and from Ellicottville, oh, ellicottville.

Speaker 3:

But I got them from Heinen's, and the kid from work went up with me because he's off for the next four days. Did he get some?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 3:

I was like I'm pretty sure we did that, but I want to make sure you called me I was like yeah, we did, yeah, I thought we did not too long ago. Yeah, I, I love anything like pineapple upside down anything sweet and stuff like that.

Speaker 2:

We're gonna. Um, then we can do a charleston south Carolina, cause I have two beers from there. Oh, okay, all right, I like after.

Speaker 3:

Okay, so we got beers for next two shows. Next two shows Okay, cool.

Speaker 1:

All right.

Speaker 2:

Well, this week's another reason to drink. Uh, likes dislikes and learns I learned.

Speaker 3:

I'm not going on the PGA Tour this week, but we didn't do as bad as we thought. No, we didn't, but I mean it was a fun time golfing on Tuesday night, but yeah you guys didn't do as good. It's just amazing how one week can be great and the next week is just shit.

Speaker 2:

It wasn't terrible, it wasn't shit, but even still Number eight In the whole number eight, which is a par five. We struggled.

Speaker 3:

I was just hoping that we would never see an eight for eight again.

Speaker 2:

That was my. I think you cursed us. He was two hits in. We're getting an eight for eight.

Speaker 3:

Here we go, here we go, we're fucking eight for eight.

Speaker 2:

But I talked to people that were out golfing, and when they were coming in, everybody did shitty. Well, the greens were hard. Yeah, the greens were really hard to read. You could get on it too, but you were still two, three putts. Yeah, it was still.

Speaker 3:

The greens were weird. Yeah, they were. They were fucked. Real bumpy yeah, they were just bumpy. It didn't matter, Bumpy or yeah, they are fast as shit and you just didn't know what to do really and you couldn't set a ball on it, but they said that a few more weeks they'll be perfect. Yeah, yeah, but it's that time of year. I guess that would be my Best game ever.

Speaker 1:

Learn.

Speaker 2:

Damn it. No, hopefully not. Hopefully not, yeah much. No, not, hopefully not, hopefully not. Yeah, a couple weeks. Yeah, we'll find out. So my like dislike, lauren, is um, it's kind of like a a dislike of mine. So today, when we were traveling, we um were coming back and I wanted to try this um japanese, japanese food, and it was like an express place right for japanese food.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so you just get it and go right. So I went in there and it was in a mall, right, so we go in the mall. It was in the food court, so we go up there and I order. And they had a thing. I should have got the warning when I said this it's a daily special right. It was chicken and shrimp and so I'm like, oh shit that's the daily special for the last six years.

Speaker 3:

His eyes turned into white eyes.

Speaker 2:

I didn't even know that was there. Yeah, he's like oh you're gonna have the runs tonight. Yeah, that's why my stomach's upset. But since then that's why I learned. But then I said he goes, you want vegetables? I'm like, no, no, I don't like broccoli, I don't want vegetables, you know. So I got vegetables you know I'm like. So, anyways, I'm eating it and I'm like oh first of all, the vegetables were cabbage and broccoli, like two worse kind of like weird yeah, that's a weird.

Speaker 2:

He said carrots and stuff. I didn't get no carrots or anything, it was just broccoli and cabbage. Now, don't forget, you're in a mall, I know, and so I ate it and everything. But here's's another dislike. I like the mall literally had one store in it and it was a self-fixed store Cell phone repair, yeah. But the mall was beautiful and here's the thing I looked it up online. Someone did a video in September of 2016. Every store was packed. I mean not packed, but the whole mall.

Speaker 1:

Look at Ashton Billum. Yeah, there ain't shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was packed. It had jewelry stores, it had all of them stores. All right now, all these malls, all these stores, all these nothing nothing.

Speaker 1:

That's because the internet man yeah, empty.

Speaker 2:

And it's kind of sad because I grew up to malls. Malls were where I would go to pick up chicks, you know they're dying dude, it's a.

Speaker 3:

They are dying breeds Because the internet.

Speaker 2:

Why go to the mall when you can order everything online? You order your groceries online. You order everything. Covid killed a lot you know what I mean, but it was your experience to go out and walk around Kids don't know that I don't like to buy clothes online.

Speaker 3:

I hate to buy clothes. I won't.

Speaker 2:

I have a hard time, because you can't tell this, large on one site is not a large on the other right.

Speaker 3:

All of a sudden I'm wearing a baby shirt but you can't feel the fabric and like I like the.

Speaker 2:

I nope the moist wick any ones, if we ever go down to just uh online dude.

Speaker 3:

I'll never probably buy another pair of clothing again, you'll be, naked, I'll just be fucking Leafs. At least I can feel what they're in the smallest. Leaf, I can find just the tip hanging out the end of it. And be like here we go. You'll look like Adam. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2:

The only new clothes he'll have is if someone buys it. And they went through the experience, uh the process of yeah saying, oh, this is nice, I don't have to return it this is too big for me with fit rick yeah this is too big, too big for me.

Speaker 1:

You got someone's leftovers? Yeah, I got. Yeah, the thing is, I bought stuff off the internet and it's like um too tight, too small.

Speaker 2:

You know it's like holy crap.

Speaker 3:

This is all you know it's like holy crap, this is all extra large and then you got to fucking struggle getting it back and then you got to drive somewhere to go to do that.

Speaker 2:

It's bullshit, just go to the mall. Anyways, it was just sad to see that mall Plus. That food was good the place, the reason I was surprised how many people were coming in. The food was really good. It was tasty. Were they just coming in for that one fast food place, one place and walkers? They had a bunch of-.

Speaker 1:

Mall walkers. Mall walkers.

Speaker 2:

Mall walkers. But the food place it was sad because it had you could tell there was the pretzel place Used to be the pretzels on the corner, annie Ann's or whatever. Yep, Yep. And then you had the cinnamon buns, the pizza place. All of them closed. Where were you at Ashtabula? No, I was at.

Speaker 3:

It sounds just like Ashtabula.

Speaker 2:

Midland, midland over in Cleveland. Oh yeah, it sounds just like Ashtabula, like Ashtabula is like their pizza place died, died you go in there, there's not, you got a place some uh buy here, trade here stuff, like a little comic place where you could buy like football cards and shit like that and like a dunham's.

Speaker 3:

I think dunham's is the only thing keeping them alive, yeah I think there's a sports store in there yeah, so this did have a um remember they had jc pennies and and. Nordstrom's JCPenney's is now a hospital. Yeah, and they turned it into an emergency room.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's no, even more than that. So this did have like a big sports store on the end, but you couldn't get it through the mall. You know what?

Speaker 3:

I mean you had to go around the outside.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you had to go on that end. It's like they had that closed. There Malls worked. I thought they were the most wonderful thing, because you could shop at all these places inside and not have to go out in the rain. That's why they came. That's why the snow up north they're popular.

Speaker 1:

You can shop indoors.

Speaker 2:

Yeah right, but you could shop indoors on your phone, at home, in your PJs or naked.

Speaker 3:

You know what I mean if you're rich. I don't like doing it for clothes, though I will not do it for clothes, I household homes I can see yeah, absolutely yeah, like I can see like a home and gardens show, or you know, I mean a big store, whatever. Yeah, which is amazing on how many you have down by you.

Speaker 3:

Oh, the home place things like you can just get that shit online for a lot cheaper. Yeah, but they're everywhere. But clothes, like you said, when it comes down to clothes, no, you know what I do.

Speaker 2:

If I see a shirt I like that I bought. Like, I went to the store and I bought it. What I do is I go online and go to that store and punch in exactly the name. For that brand, for that brand and I know what's going to fit me and what's going to be perfect, so I go in there and if it's like some dress shirt I like so you're the you're, I'm still going online.

Speaker 2:

Guys that are killing, fucking them all yeah, but no, I went there and got the shirt you know what I mean. I'm a mall killer, mall killer.

Speaker 3:

Oh, you made me forget what my life is like bob, the mall killer mall killer.

Speaker 2:

Anyways, the whole point of my story was be careful when you eat too much. What do you call broccoli with cabbage?

Speaker 3:

I know that's a weird, that is a weird comment.

Speaker 2:

I was kind of like my stomach, there's three of us in this car. I'm like, were you driving? I was kind of like, ooh, my stomach, there's three of us in this car.

Speaker 3:

I'm like you're holding me Were you driving, no Okay.

Speaker 2:

No, I kind of try to take a little nap to kind of take my mind off of it, but every once in a while I'd wake up with the urge to fart.

Speaker 3:

If I was a driver I'd be like, yeah, fuck off.

Speaker 1:

You guys are like roll down windows bitches.

Speaker 3:

I don't care how cold it is I'm driving.

Speaker 2:

But if I'm not driving, if I'm not that, if it would have just been the one guy or this lady in there If it was the one guy or this lady in there? No, I wouldn't have done it, I wouldn't have blamed it at all.

Speaker 3:

What did you do back?

Speaker 1:

there, oh my.

Speaker 3:

God.

Speaker 2:

What did you do? What hole? What'd you do back there? Oh my.

Speaker 3:

God, What'd you do? You couldn't hold that. What hole is that coming out of your mouth? Your ass or your.

Speaker 1:

Smell a little fishy.

Speaker 3:

Like I didn't see fish. Well, that is shrimp. Is that shrimp? I smell shrimp. I smell shrimp. Wait, is that shrimp? I smell shrimp. I smell shrimp. I smell shrimp and beef together kind of Shrimp and beef. It smells like rubbed on shrimp. It's on fire.

Speaker 2:

All right, my light is like I can't get over that. Come after that one, I know I went and got my teeth cleaned. The worst part about teeth cleaning I dislike is they put that stupid ass shit on your teeth, yeah, and then as soon as you get something cold or hot, it's just like is they put that stupid ass shit on your teeth? Yeah, and then as soon as you get something cold or hot, it's just like you got chunks of wax in your mouth, right. So I went over to Billy's. I was trying to drink hot water to melt it off and get it off, but then he goes here's a Mexican beer I want you to try. I was like, ooh, it's from Shiner's, we got to try it, oh yeah.

Speaker 3:

It's ooh, it's from shiners. We gotta try it. Oh yeah, it's fucking delicious shiners shiner, shiner, shiner, bought shiner. Yeah, oh it's so fucking good, so he's gonna get some.

Speaker 2:

It was good and I drank it and I thought I had all that stuff off my teeth, boom wax everywhere in my mouth. That stuff is just so wicked right, and the dentist is putting it on. You don't think he's putting that much on. He goes what flavor you want, I I'll try berry this time. Fuck that shit. That shit fucks you up. Just get mint or something. But yeah, my like dislike learn is going to Dennis with all that wax. Bob was like semen.

Speaker 3:

Can you put more semen?

Speaker 1:

Have flavored.

Speaker 3:

Peanut butter. Can I have a semen flavored?

Speaker 2:

Dennis butter, I have a semen flavor dennis was like okay, let me put you back out if you throw hurts in the morning. I gotta tell you a story real quick, uh. So one of the girls at work said I didn't know you had your daughter got a new puppy. His name's not peanut butter. I just fucking lost it.

Speaker 1:

She told me his name's tito not peanut butter.

Speaker 2:

I call not peanut butter. I just fucking lost it. She told me his name's Tito, not peanut butter. I call him peanut butter.

Speaker 1:

It should be peanut butter. He looks at me when I yell out I yell at him and he looks like peanut butter.

Speaker 2:

I'm like, hey, peanut butter, and he turns around. What you know? That's because Chad's always holding peanut butter.

Speaker 3:

He walks around with it. He has a whole jar of peanut butter.

Speaker 2:

He's trying to train him right.

Speaker 3:

We're trying to call him Jif. We're going to call Chad Jif from now on, because he's just walking around with it. Model Jif. We'll call him Peter.

Speaker 2:

Pan. We're like where are you putting that, Peter Pan? Hey, Peter Pan, where's your peanut butter? Where's your peanut butter putting?

Speaker 3:

that, Peter Pan? Hey, Peter Pan. Where's your peanut butter? Where's your peanut?

Speaker 2:

butter. Oh, every time we see Rick, we see Jack, we gotta call him Peter Pan, peter Pan, peter Pan, peter Butter, and not tell him. Like he'll see, if he figures it out, yeah, and say what was it? He'll just see, if he figures it out, it'll take a minute.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he'll be like well, you guys called a Peter Pan out there anymore.

Speaker 2:

But there's Peter Pan butter Peanut butter Is there. Yeah, peter Pan butter. Is it still out there? I don't know. I don't know if they call it Peter Pan, I don't know.

Speaker 3:

It's been years since I've seen it, didn't they have Peter Pan peanut butter?

Speaker 2:

Because it used to be Jiffy. Oh, now I'm going to the little Peter Pan on it. No, they used to have.

Speaker 3:

Peter Pan butter. Yeah but I don't know if they call it. I don't know if they still have that. I think Jif took it over. Is it just Jif?

Speaker 2:

out there. Honestly, I think Smuckers makes a peanut butter, but yeah, but it's not going to be called Peter Pan, no.

Speaker 3:

But we remember back in our day yeah, they still sell it, do they?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, look at that show on the bottle the Peter pan yeah, okay, yeah, they don't have the guy on Maybe not so much in our area. Oh, that's probably why you don't see it I.

Speaker 3:

I, I've never looked, though I'm not a big Peter band. Peter, I'm not trying to buy Peter Pan. You don't want his butter. No, I don't want his butter. Captain Hook ruined it for me.

Speaker 2:

You know, and it makes me wonder, because you're going through it, and it shows a Jif. So maybe Jif bought Peter Pan.

Speaker 3:

I'm wondering, dude, I don't know if there's Peter Pan butter. I might have to look into it. Dig it a little deeper.

Speaker 2:

I'll walk down the aisle and see if they're actually still have that, but you remember it right, I do says oh, it says we made a difficult decision to discontinue our peter penner. Oh, that was wet peanut butter, oh, but I'm curious to see if it's around.

Speaker 3:

It might be jif now I think it's just jif now, yeah, but I don don't remember seeing the peanut butter. I mean, of course you remember the peanut butter.

Speaker 2:

They say you can go on Amazon and buy it. Oh, so.

Speaker 3:

From 1930. It lasts forever.

Speaker 2:

Amazoncom 2.5 ounces. All right, let's try to rate this here. I'll give you a little sippy sippy if you want to try with this. I know All right, a little sippy sippy. If you want to try with this, I know all right. So we're gonna rip a rip. We're gonna rate this three river triple, um, bedroom style triple. What do you think? Rick, 9.5 out of? Uh, again it the rivers.

Speaker 3:

But they talk about the rivers, yeah I'm gonna say, I'm gonna just give it a. I actually like this on tap. I really did like this on tap.

Speaker 2:

I really did like this On tap. Did it taste different?

Speaker 3:

you think on tap A little bit On tap I would have said 9.5. Out of the bottle I'm going to go, probably about 9. Oh, you're going 9. I am going to go 9.

Speaker 1:

I did like this.

Speaker 3:

It's a Belgium style.

Speaker 1:

So we got to rank it that.

Speaker 3:

Which I'm not a huge Belgium fan, correct. And so I thought it was sweet, I thought it was tasty, I really did. I liked how just I liked it. Sorry, I'm just kidding, it is strong and you can almost liked it. Sorry, I'm just kidding, it is strong and you can almost taste it, but it's not overpowering.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm kind of with Rick a little bit, but I'm going to go eight.

Speaker 3:

You're going to drop down to eight, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm eight, and the reason why is because, yeah, it's good, it's refreshing. It dries out the tongue a little bit when you're drinking with it and as you drink it, more it is I don't know, I can't put my.

Speaker 1:

Is it a?

Speaker 2:

keeper for you guys. I don't know if I would keep it. It has a little bit of a to me, a little slight bitter.

Speaker 3:

I don't know Just very slight. I would but maybe if I would go to the brewery I would drink it and drink it off the tap, yeah, or off the keg. It might end up, end up in the fridge, but I don't know if it would. Yeah, I don't know if I'd keep it. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't mind. I would keep it I don't, I, I wouldn't mind a bottle in the bottom of my fridge every once in a while.

Speaker 2:

you know, once in a while it wouldn't. In a while it wouldn't be bad. Yeah, I agree, but I don't know if I would keep it. It is 9.5, so keep that in mind. The alcohol is not there.

Speaker 3:

No it is.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't taste like that. I'm going to rank it a 9.5. You're?

Speaker 3:

going that high. Yeah, I thought it was good too. That's why I went nine.

Speaker 2:

It's weird, we went eight, nine and nine and a half. Yeah, I thought it was delicious. I loved every drop of it. Well, that's good. Yep, I would keep it. I would keep it. So you two would probably keep it. I'd probably throw one in there. Jason Creeper Keeper, he's a creeper, he's a creeper, he's a creeper, don't stare at him too long. But do you want to step into our next beer real fast, or do? It on the back half. Let's step into one and then maybe throw one in the fridge.

Speaker 3:

Let's throw one back in the fridge. What?

Speaker 2:

do you want to do next? Let's keep the number. We go to seven.

Speaker 1:

What's that one?

Speaker 2:

7.2 or 7.0. Let's say 7.2. All right, let's go downhill from here. Downhill. Now we're going to do the. I just like the show Pronounce that word. What's that bird? The bird Paragon, paragon, porter.

Speaker 1:

I just like the show. It goes downhill.

Speaker 2:

I just got that it's a logger 7.2. And Rick is opening them bad boys up. The last one is an ale, so we're going from a little no, but it's weird because they call it a porter.

Speaker 1:

Is that dark Porter ale? Oh, it's a porter. It's a porter lager.

Speaker 2:

Just fill it, because you know what I mean. Just porter ale Stretch. This one's going to smell good. Probably it's not as bad 7.2%.

Speaker 3:

So no, I didn't do these, oh yeah, these next two, I did not do.

Speaker 2:

I'm doing them first time with you guys. And then we got the Dun Gang Go ahead. This would be a typical porter Porter. So we're going to rank it as a porter. That's good, it's funny. As soon as you taste it it takes you right to a porter. Really, it's got that little coffee look Dark dark, dark, rich.

Speaker 2:

Now, this is what Catherine likes to drink. So the darker one doesn't have much chocolate to it. No, no, because normally it's a clean porter, a stout will have more chocolate flavor. Now, now I'm blown away because I'm going to give a couple of cents. But this border is pretty damn good it's smooth, it's not thick.

Speaker 3:

It's not thick. It's not thick at all, but I get the Baker's chocolate the dryness on the back. Well, just the taste of it. But Baker's chocolate has a bitterness to it.

Speaker 2:

It does, it does. Oh, I can feel it. You know what I mean. Way, but Baker's chocolate has a bitterness to it. It does, it does, it does. Oh, I can feel it. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3:

Like way after it's gone.

Speaker 1:

It's gone.

Speaker 3:

It's like I do taste the chocolate on it a little bit.

Speaker 2:

If you don't drink it right back to back, you get that on the back, dude, that's pretty fucking good. I like it so far. I'm hoping it improves as I drink. Let me see that other bottle. There's more in there.

Speaker 1:

There's more in this one. I want the one with more.

Speaker 2:

The foam was good. When I hit the foam, there you go here. You got to split that. Oh, I got full glass. Pour it in there, my friend. It's different. It's like splash, splash, splash, splash. Give me some more. It's different. We'll give that a taste. Yeah, we'll give it a show. You want to do? Maybe Do things they don't teach you in school? Yeah, why we're killing some time. Why we're doing a little bit of this, because it's a three-part show, because we have three beers. Yes, we do.

Speaker 1:

Yes, we do.

Speaker 2:

Normally we don't do. Oh, can a woman compete, uncle? Well, that's all right can a woman no, no, oh. Can a woman, uh, compete in a swimming event wearing a bikini? Because it made me think, no, that you know what I mean, because they normally have the one piece yeah, they're one, yeah, no, I'd say no, no, only full fools. Yeah that's what was throwing me off. I was like, like what percentage of dust in your home is actually dead skin cells?

Speaker 1:

Oh, I don't want to know this one.

Speaker 2:

What percentage Percentage, I say 60%, and there's a lot of dandruff.

Speaker 3:

I would have to say, yeah, I would go about 60%.

Speaker 2:

So the funny thing is, I often think about the dust in my house, but we all have dogs right, right. So I'm thinking dog dendro yeah, so a typical home like ours is consumed by dog dust and yeah yeah but they said approximately 75 percent of the dust in your house but we were taking in dog and stuff.

Speaker 3:

I keep trying to figure out where all my dust is coming from.

Speaker 2:

It's come from your ass.

Speaker 3:

Just my ass, the brown dust is from your ass.

Speaker 2:

The white dust is from your old dirty balls.

Speaker 1:

Well, you think about it 75 percent.

Speaker 2:

So you wonder why. So it makes you think.

Speaker 3:

It makes you think. I mean, I know we shed, but that much.

Speaker 2:

That much. That's a lot, and the thing about it is you have filters on your vents. Yeah filters and it's all your fucking skin. So we get a lot of dog dirt Like spring and fall we deal with a lot of dust, dirt, dust, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Then I have the pellet pellets.

Speaker 2:

They kick a lot of dust out. Right, so Bobby's probably 40%. Anyways, what country performs the most cosmetic surgery? Mexico, per capita.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I would go.

Speaker 2:

Mexico, nope Taiwan, nope Switzerland. Really Well, you think about it. Everything comes out of Switzerland massages, switzerland creams and lasers yeah, but I thought it was Mexico.

Speaker 3:

They go down there and get boom jobs, get fucking balloons More than 200 operations per 100,000 inhabitants.

Speaker 2:

Everybody's fake in Switzerland.

Speaker 3:

They're legal ones maybe Illegal ones are going out in Mexico.

Speaker 2:

Why do they almost always store milk at the back of the supermarket? It's the shortest distance to fill the shelves. Why is milk always stored?

Speaker 1:

yeah, why do they?

Speaker 2:

almost always store milk in the back. That's the shortest distance to the cooler yeah, from their opening, from their delivery, oh, no, yes, you guys are going to be surprised, but and then it'll make sense why they do it. Because I wonder.

Speaker 3:

You know, normally eggs and milk are in the back right for, because when you're shopping you don't want to carry a gallon of milk.

Speaker 2:

All right, oh, you meant in the whole store where it gets okay when you buy it where you buy it it's always at the end because it's the last thing you put in the cart. So milk is a popular product consumed by most people. Placing the milk at the back of the store increases the likelihood that the customer will buy other things.

Speaker 3:

Because you've got to walk all the way back.

Speaker 2:

I thought, milk, you come to the front.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, just come in and grab your milk and leave.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, okay, that makes sense, yeah that makes sense, let's do one more.

Speaker 2:

Okay, one more. What color are the Rubix cubes?

Speaker 3:

uh, red, green, blue and white what there's yellow oh there is yellow red green, yellow and blue okay, you ready.

Speaker 2:

There's white on there.

Speaker 3:

Is there white yeah?

Speaker 2:

I don't remember white, Red, green, yellow, orange, blue and white. Oh, we didn't get orange, Because remember there's going to be six sides.

Speaker 3:

Right, I said blue. Yeah, there's six sides. Yeah, I didn't count on my friend you should have counted.

Speaker 2:

That's what I was waiting for, you guys. Yeah, I didn't count on my fingers, you should have counted. That's what I was waiting for, you guys. Remember when that came out?

Speaker 3:

Remember that Lynx game that also came out with the three legs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that I don't know about this this one's kind of funny what?

Speaker 2:

But I don't know the one word. Why do men have nipples? I have no clue, but you, I have no clue, but we are seeing them now. During the first six weeks of life, all feces or feces develop.

Speaker 3:

fetuses develop to become a woman no, all feces, that's shit, I know. No, it's fetuses. So you're calling all guys a piece of shit.

Speaker 2:

All pieces of shit.

Speaker 3:

Right here on Another Reason to Drink podcast. Billy just called all men pieces of shit.

Speaker 2:

Fetuses, I was just representing our women population. So yeah, that's interesting. So we're all women, we're all women at first. During the first six weeks of life, all fetuses develop to become a woman. Then you change, I guess. Well, some become a woman after they change quit wearing those dresses around quit trying to milk me.

Speaker 3:

He's trying to get in. Quit sucking on my nipples. You are not getting anything out of it. No, I will quit trying to milk me. He's trying to get in.

Speaker 2:

He's trying to go Quit sucking on my nipples.

Speaker 3:

You are not getting anything out of it.

Speaker 2:

He's trying to go back to the first six weeks of your life.

Speaker 1:

It doesn't matter how many hairs I have on them. He just keeps on fucking licking and licking.

Speaker 2:

I know some women that got hair around their. Anyways, this one is a brew question.

Speaker 1:

Since we're a brewery podcast.

Speaker 2:

We should get this ready.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we're not getting there.

Speaker 2:

Employees at the Carlsberg Brewery in Denmark went on strike when a new policy forbidden them from drinking more than one beer during working hours. I'd have to agree with them. They should be able to test their product right. How many beers had they been able to drink before the new alcohol policy? Six, no, I think it's shitty. They shouldn't have never changed this.

Speaker 3:

Two beers and two beers at lunch, or something like that.

Speaker 1:

You know what I mean.

Speaker 3:

Three.

Speaker 2:

You're right on it. Yeah, yeah, they were. Honestly, you guys can. I could drink three beers and nothing.

Speaker 3:

Well, no.

Speaker 2:

It depends what you're doing A whole day. No, no. Well, it depends what you're doing A whole day.

Speaker 3:

No, that's the thing about Europe You're allowed to have you know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

I mean lunch, yeah. Yeah, or Italy A couple beers during lunch If you go to Italy they all have wine and bread for lunch.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, you know, they have a glass of wine. That would help me out. Every lunch having a beer or something It'd make everybody fucking happy here's the thing, Phil.

Speaker 2:

The funny thing we're missing here is at least they're allowed still one beer.

Speaker 1:

Yeah we're not allowed one beer.

Speaker 2:

What would happen if I cracked a beer at my lunch.

Speaker 3:

Oh, you'd be done, you'd be fired.

Speaker 2:

Why is it so bad? First of all, where you work, you can't have any beer.

Speaker 3:

I know Me and Rick would be different. For one, they don't.

Speaker 2:

I mean, the military was even back on my day. You were allowed to have one beer during lunch.

Speaker 1:

During lunch. Yeah, oh, really yeah.

Speaker 2:

In the military.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know that Way back.

Speaker 2:

Well, so even Way back Like when you could smoke in the building. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you're going to die.

Speaker 3:

It's just maybe they don't abuse it as much over there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah Well, the thing is is it becomes difficult, because if you allow one beer, right, how do you know that guy doesn't?

Speaker 3:

sneak, I know, and then you have the alcoholic there.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But I mean I'm all for. Would you be all fucked up if you had, like, two beers at lunch? No, no, would you no, no, no. If I had two beers, I'd actually probably calm down and then go back to work and be like I feel good, I'd be happy as shit.

Speaker 1:

Holy cow Can't wait for my next four hours. I got four hours to go.

Speaker 2:

Rick, this is a beer for a breath test.

Speaker 1:

That doesn't include the two beers oh.

Speaker 3:

So we're not allowed to have one at six o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 2:

You can't have two beers for a breath test and two beers for lunch.

Speaker 3:

Just even one beer at lunch. At lunch, just to take the edge off. I would not want to punch a bitch in the face, Actually one big tall boy would be perfect.

Speaker 2:

One of my employers and I'm going to go back. They would allow me to have one, right, right, okay, because they kind of fell into European rules. Oh, they did, yeah, so they would allow. They don't have. And then me and my co-worker, we take advantage of it sometimes, like we would get one in front of our boss. He would just kind of look at us.

Speaker 1:

We're like it's only one.

Speaker 2:

You know because we were allowed. You know what I mean, but then eventually they shut that down.

Speaker 1:

Oh, did they?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they shut it down on us because it got americanized, yeah, yeah well, not if you're running a machine or something well, that's different. Or you're driving a forklift, yeah like, yeah, you don't yeah, you're not, but but if you're just sitting in the office yeah what's one fucking beer? Honestly, even running a machine or anything like one beer does not do that it's not, but it's a lawsuit righty yeah that lawsuit ready.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's the thing. That's the thing. Oh, he had a beer, he was under fluid, he blew the alcohol level they don't want to even take the risk.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, they don't want to take that risk.

Speaker 2:

Now all the people just go outside and smoke their vates full of marijuana.

Speaker 3:

Do the exact same shit. You know what I mean as a full of marijuana, yeah, they just smoked fucking. Do the exact same shit.

Speaker 2:

You know what I mean, as a matter of fact, I'll be honest, we were drinking a beer and someone reported us to HR, me and the guy right Walked in there and they said oh, someone reported, they seen you drinking a beer. Yeah, you know, boss came in there, yeah, no problem, and then we didn't get in trouble for it, right, they didn't say anything. They said well because then they said well, and then my boss pulled out oh, maybe you guys, you have a beer, but you don't let them see you yeah, yeah, yeah, and then we're like okay, you know you're not going on your mdi walk.

Speaker 2:

yeah, everybody good morning Cheers. That's when you need it the most, oh shit.

Speaker 1:

Let me deal with this. Why did I have to fucking do?

Speaker 2:

that. Your gamble walk or whatever fucking thing. Let's ask the question A percentage, just if you go in a company, how many of those people have marijuana, vape pens? Oh, you don't know. You don't know.

Speaker 3:

To me anymore 100. Yes, I swear when I there's no scent to them.

Speaker 2:

Now, right, exactly, I'm I swear they're like smells like cherries, or they're blueberry gum or whatever. Yeah, they're like 75 of your employees are fucking high. All that. Yeah, yeah, but I did. It was fun, though my you know my boss, he was european right, he seen no issue with it he used yeah, it's a very nice and the. Thing is is. I would go to lunch with him and he would order one. When he ordered one, I was like that was the very first time I did it.

Speaker 3:

Like you were one, I was like I'll have the same thing, yeah when I worked at the winery, the guy that owned it used to tell me he was like you know we would at eight years old. His lunch was soaking up wine and bread, and bread yeah, yeah, but that was common, then Because? He was out there working in the winery.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he's from Italy.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you know. So his dad would be like, yeah, put some, but they eat bread and cheese and meat.

Speaker 1:

And then they're drinking a glass of wine.

Speaker 2:

You're not getting drunk on it.

Speaker 3:

You're not getting drunk on it because you're out there sweating it all the fuck out. No you're just it's sugar, it's just nutrients, just basically See when you go overseas and you're out. It's all different.

Speaker 1:

I've been overseas a thousand places.

Speaker 2:

It's in the vending machine. Yeah, In Japan we had beer in the vending machines.

Speaker 3:

They got dildos in the vending machines.

Speaker 2:

Yes, they had eggs, everything. But the thing is is kids?

Speaker 1:

How many?

Speaker 3:

of them. Did you grab One?

Speaker 2:

16-year-olds were running around and trying to buy beer and shit. It was funny and someone brought it up this weekend. They said that beer and cola, you know. And I said, yeah, that's a popular thing. They're like what I said yeah, you go to Germany, it's beer and cola in the machines. Right, I said last time I was there, that's what they had A lot of the 16, because you can buy it at 16. When I was there, a 16-year-old could buy.

Speaker 1:

And I think Japan was the same way they only allowed so much, right?

Speaker 2:

Anyways, they would do the beer cola, you know.

Speaker 3:

And the one guy looked it up's like sure it's, it's a thing you know. I forgot what the word he used that so it's a beer coal, like it's a miracle. It's half beer and half beer.

Speaker 2:

Wow, yeah, and I said it's a thing and you have you heard of, like in the one lady across from her sure is talking about it, right, and it's funny was at that brewery that I brought the sticker for and she said, well, they do like orange juice and beer. I was like, yeah, on our show we did mimosas. Right, yeah, mimosas, they do the mimosas beers yeah, that's what she was trying to say it was like yeah and I said, yeah, they do that thing.

Speaker 2:

You can buy it in cans. We've done it, you know. But the end of the but, the thing that that surprised me, going back to this, was that people don't realize they did that. It was very popular over there and it was popular with the teens the cola and beer and they are allowed to.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, they're right, that's right. Okay, yeah, I know we're dragging on.

Speaker 2:

Why are hot dogs called hot dogs? This is a good thing. I mean, these are good questions, that I don't know, like I, I've never thought.

Speaker 1:

I like, I just thought it was just I don't, I've never, I honestly, I've never put a thought.

Speaker 2:

I don't know why they came up with that Well how they came up with that I thought the dog because it's long like a wiener dog.

Speaker 3:

No, I'm not going to touch that, the term hot dog. I'm not going to, I let you. No, I know I could have. I would have been like, yeah, I know you've had a bunch of them in your mouth.

Speaker 2:

How many can Bobby fit?

Speaker 3:

How many yeah Of little doggies.

Speaker 2:

Weird dogs. The term hot dog was born at a sports stadium in the United States in 1901.

Speaker 3:

Sports cartoonist Thomas Tad known as Tad dog ran thought that the sausage looked like a what's that? Dog, a wiener, no a dachshund. Oh a dachshund, yeah, yeah, whatever, yeah a d. Yeah, dash on so in this cartoon he drew a dash on barking at a bun and called it a hot dog, and that's how it took off. That's crazy.

Speaker 2:

That is crazy 1901. But don't we call those dogs wiener dogs, yeah, yeah, wiener dogs.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, a dash on is a wiener dog All right?

Speaker 2:

Well, let's rank this, guys, and then we'll get on to our last. And we got story time, and then we'll go out there, we're going for a porter, it's a porter, it is a porter yeah.

Speaker 3:

A little bit, not bad if you wait a long time, but it's just overall good beer. They did a great job with this one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, and you said that was one of their most popular ones.

Speaker 1:

It's video store. Well, it's video.

Speaker 3:

Local video store yes, so I think I might have been to. I said earlier, but then I started thinking about it. I think I might have been to one or two, but Blockbuster was expensive.

Speaker 2:

You thought it was expensive. That's the only thing that Rick wanted to know about it.

Speaker 3:

Honestly, yeah, because you can go to family video and get the same things for a couple dollars for.

Speaker 2:

But blockbuster always had the first, like the movies when they first came out, like tuesdays, every tuesday boom yeah, I don't know like I like.

Speaker 3:

I mean it was a nice back. I mean it was a nice back in the day, it was a nice family night.

Speaker 2:

It was because you took your time driving up. This is my memory Driving up there, yeah, getting out of the car and then going in and looking at different movies and like, hey, hon, check this movie out. No, no, I want more. And then it had a category it's by drama, and you would skip whatever. You know I I mean it was just. And then you would spend about an hour in there. Then you got your candy and your popcorn and everything, all your snacks.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, see, I didn't do that. I already had all that there from um I don't know Dollar store.

Speaker 2:

Dollar store. Dollar stores weren't around.

Speaker 3:

No, not back then, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I guess. But it was just a whole experience. And then when you walked in there you had that smell and it was just and I knew the guys so good, I would walk up and I'd be like so, but they didn't like movies based on like, like, like the movie they started getting into, like the guys I used to talk to is like the companies that made them, like MGM and Paramount and stuff like that. They were like well, we like Paramount movies better, so they were intense, so they were like full-on movie geeks.

Speaker 2:

Any movie I'd be like what do you think about this movie? And they were like well, that's not a Paramount movie. We like Paramount movies, but that movie's not bad. But the thing is, I used to love up there and then it was like a lottery when you got like a new release that someone dropped off that wasn't on the shelf. And you would go up there and you'd be like hey, you got that new movie, blah blah, blah blah, and they would be like fuck it score Right?

Speaker 3:

yeah, they just got it back for $40 because they were two days late.

Speaker 2:

But it was a whole family experience. Now nowadays you watch movies, it's just like, oh, this is the newest movie on top 10. Click, boom, yeah, but it's not. Back then it was like a whole experience, you know.

Speaker 3:

It was. I do get that Like it was a.

Speaker 2:

Did you ever take Orion to the movies and let him pick out?

Speaker 3:

a movie. Absolutely I don't know if I let him pick. I mean, yeah. Yes, we went to the.

Speaker 2:

He would look at the kids section the kids section Like yeah.

Speaker 3:

Behind the red curtains. Am I here? No, watch Sonny, you want this one. What was it? His favorite movie?

Speaker 1:

was Liar, liar.

Speaker 3:

Liar, liar, liar, liar.

Speaker 2:

It was right, as I hide.

Speaker 3:

I watched that a thousand times, like I had it on video and everything. Let me tell you this story, though. But then he went there, and it was fire, fire fire, fire, fire fire.

Speaker 2:

But let me ask you this story. So the thing about movies is it and I'm going to put a spin on you when DVDs and blockbusters coming out and then everything started switching Netflix and stuff the movies had the video store started getting cheaper with dollar 99, 99 cents. Remember that red box too?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and you could ran them for like two bucks or whatever.

Speaker 2:

But then, since they got rid of all that shit, the shit shot up. 20 now again, yeah, and you could rent them for like two bucks or whatever. But then, since they got rid of all that shit, the shit shot up. 20 bucks, Now again, yeah. Well, now you're, now it's $20. But before you can get the exact same movie for $1.99 at a red box, rent wise, yes, rent, and then you could go home and watch it. I still think you can go to a Redbox if there's one around.

Speaker 3:

Do you have one? I haven't seen one today.

Speaker 2:

I haven't seen it, but it wasn't around us, I just seen it. But the thing is I'm talking about yeah, I'm talking about I can see that Like you could get like new releases and they used to be cheaper. Now you go, a new release comes out on amazon 19, 20 bucks. You notice how they went down in price when the new movies coming out they were like 5.99 or like there were dollar 99. If you got lucky and got out of the red box, it was a new release.

Speaker 3:

You got scored, yeah but, now you're 20 bucks yeah, but I think there's. If it's in theaters they're 20 bucks but they're not 20. If it's in theaters they're $20.

Speaker 2:

But if it's not, you can wait three weeks. I'm telling you right now. Theaters just got done with Ghostbusters, the new Ghostbusters. It just got released Tuesday and it's $20.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, because it's still in theaters. No, it's out of theaters.

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 3:

I guarantee you it's still in theaters. But for two more weeks. It's already had its first run. Yeah, for two more weeks it's going to run, but then now it's going to drop down to 15, or yeah, whatever but it takes weeks until they drop it down to 599.

Speaker 2:

I'll wait weeks. Yeah, and the thing is um, yeah, on, especially a movie like that. But uh, ghostbusters, she went and saw it twice in a movie theater twice. Who's our favorite movie the young lady I work with, okay, and she went and saw it twice and then she pre-ordered it as soon as it came out. So she was real happy that she got her movie for $25 pre-ordered and she got it. So she paid $60 to watch this movie.

Speaker 3:

She paid more than that. Yeah, it's three times.

Speaker 2:

But the thing is is that's her favorite thing, but okay.

Speaker 3:

You could have waited and bought it for $24.99.

Speaker 2:

But she actually bought it In another week.

Speaker 3:

In another week you could have bought it. She bought it in.

Speaker 2:

Blu-ray or the disc. She didn't get digital I get digital. The thing is I was just thinking about the prices, because I used to go to red box score on a number one movie for a dollar 99 and then take it home and watch it when was the last time you guys bought a movie, like actually bought it? Oh well we buy them all the time.

Speaker 3:

No, no, you no, we buy them.

Speaker 2:

I typically buy it over rent.

Speaker 1:

I'll pay the extra.

Speaker 2:

Really, yes, if I'm going to pay five bucks more. I'm going to get it.

Speaker 1:

I would just buy it and I always have it.

Speaker 2:

Especially it's like due to I bought it.

Speaker 3:

I don't, I haven't bought a movie. I couldn't tell you.

Speaker 2:

But I buy it digitally off of. What is that? V Movies? I couldn't tell you, but I buy it digitally off of what is that VUDU or something like VUDU? Yeah, V-D-U-I, yeah, yeah, but the thing is, we also buy them. We buy them off of Amazon. Billy got me hooked on that VDI or whatever. V-u-d-u yeah, because we can share movies that he buys and I buy.

Speaker 3:

Oh, he can log in Right, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But if you buy anything from Walmart, they go through that digitally.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, but I just rent the one time Because it's going to come out and you're going to get to watch it again. Then it will eventually come out. You know what I mean? I know, but it's just weird how movies.

Speaker 2:

But my experience was about the whole um stripper club thing. It's just a whole family environment and me and my wife didn't even have kids and we would just it was just fun for it was, she would just look around.

Speaker 3:

It was a good date night.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was good it was the build up, and then, when we got home, we had our food, popcorn, everything.

Speaker 1:

We go.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and now you're already at home.

Speaker 2:

And you're just like what do you want to watch Now?

Speaker 3:

Doesn't it take?

Speaker 2:

like an hour to find something.

Speaker 3:

It does.

Speaker 2:

You don't even know what's new.

Speaker 3:

She hates it. Yeah, oh, my wife hates it. Just watch that, just watch that.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, when I'm flipping through, because you're like trying to ask them. What do you want to watch?

Speaker 3:

And I watch the trailers.

Speaker 2:

How many times you watch the trailers? I was seeing the whole goddamn movie. Now I don't want to watch it. Yeah, oh God, you guys know what I'm going through.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'll go to documentaries. I do too, I do.

Speaker 1:

Here we go. You want to watch?

Speaker 2:

this. She's like yeah.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

I got some my blockbuster experience. You're going to like this. We came into town one time we were living away. We came into town and we wanted to watch a movie. So I called up there and I said, yeah, you got it. Yeah, we got it. Oh, can you put it on hold? Remember, you used to call up to put it on hold.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So I said I'll be up there. But they wouldn't only hold it so long, so I run up there. I said, okay, I'll be right back. I'm going to run in and get the movie and be right back. So I run in, get the movie. Ex-girlfriend running it as a manager. She's sitting there talking to me. Then all I hear is beep, beep.

Speaker 1:

That's my experience I gotta go.

Speaker 2:

I'm never coming back here again.

Speaker 3:

We never went back, fuck.

Speaker 2:

Blockbuster you still owe $299.

Speaker 1:

No man.

Speaker 2:

That lady had all my information, because I was like yeah, anyways, it was so funny because she.

Speaker 3:

she sent me a talker to her Billy got a blowjob.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I got several Because I was like the lady at Blockbuster, offered it up. Get busy.

Speaker 3:

They're still looking for my video. They want me to come there and work.

Speaker 2:

There is actually one Blockbuster left.

Speaker 1:

Where.

Speaker 2:

Where, yeah, there is. They did a documentary on it. Where Illinois, somewhere For a thousand? It's the last Blockbuster and you can go there and they get thousands of tourists just to come and experience that they're just doing the. They got a lot of late fees. I get it. I wonder if my ex went there.

Speaker 2:

It's funny because they show people trying to use their old accounts, their old Blockbuster accounts. It's actually a documentary. It's called the Last Blockbuster. It's a documentary on Netflix. If you go in there and watch it, you can see it. It's funny. It's somewhere in Illinois and it looks the same.

Speaker 3:

It hasn't changed.

Speaker 1:

I could see it If you didn't put one around here.

Speaker 2:

I think people would do it.

Speaker 3:

Actually, I think if they did it, Family Video would be bigger.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, because they have one in Asheville that just closed.

Speaker 3:

It didn't just close.

Speaker 2:

No, it just did.

Speaker 3:

No, it did not just close Like last year.

Speaker 2:

No, that video family. Yeah, it's been closed for fucking four years oh, I've seen their lights on and everything no, yeah, yeah, the lights might be but it no, that no that one off a 20. Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.

Speaker 3:

But no, yeah that it's been closed for years. But I I know it's not as big, but it was so much cheaper. Yeah, if you would open one back up, like I don't think it would be the cost.

Speaker 2:

I think people just come because of the. Do you think that's something that could rebound? Well us no remember it, our kids I don't know like my boy, if you remember would it rebound enough to cover the cost? No, because most people, most people, they like the instant shit, click, click. They don't want to run up and drop it off and all that bullshit.

Speaker 3:

I hate to say this, but do you know what it would be? It's low income would just. If you owned it, you would almost have to be like copies of just stuff that you're never going to see Never going to see again and you're getting you're getting a dollar CD. Basically you know what I mean. Like I mean, I'm not trying to be a dick, but that's, that's literally what it would be like. That's that's what I would open it Like if that was still open. That's what it is, but how?

Speaker 2:

did they overcome those issues?

Speaker 3:

They're not open, no more.

Speaker 1:

The lights are just on.

Speaker 3:

I guarantee you no one's home, bob, they haven't been open for years.

Speaker 2:

I truly think that's an industry that died that could come back. I don't see it?

Speaker 3:

I don't see it. No, not with all.

Speaker 2:

I know what you mean, because people experience, but people are lazy, they just hit it.

Speaker 3:

No, it's not that big of an experience, it's just like old ice cream parlors that come back and old school stuff.

Speaker 2:

What Rick was trying to point out is the risk. There's no risk with the digital app.

Speaker 1:

But there is risk now.

Speaker 2:

There's the risk of people not returning to the video.

Speaker 3:

The cost. You're just giving them the movie.

Speaker 2:

I paid $24 and rented this for $2.

Speaker 3:

Exactly, you'd be better off just printing them out. That would be a huge fucking thing Just printing them out and be like $1.99. $1.99 for a night. Okay, see ya.

Speaker 2:

Copyright laws.

Speaker 3:

Whatever, but be like yeah here you go. But they can watch it. The rest of their lives whatever seriously, I mean.

Speaker 2:

But you never were late on your video thing because you couldn't rent it. No, you were late, but you caught up you paid the difference because you knew you couldn't rent another movie without it. Right, but nowadays you can rent another movie without it.

Speaker 3:

Post-trait. You could rent another movie. Fucking, it don't matter, I know.

Speaker 1:

That's what I'm saying, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3:

Like there is no more. I don't ever see yeah, I don't ever see a video store popping up. I don't see Billy Bob's video store right here ever again. But we say that. But then you never know. But the thing about it is.

Speaker 2:

I can rent it digitally. You just said it. Then someone else can log in and watch it.

Speaker 3:

Yes, so why?

Speaker 2:

share. No, I'm just talking in general. You know what I mean. I'm surprised they got rid of a lot of stuff that was so pleasant to do. What was the experience? Like you were, yeah, yeah, and the thing is, is I experienced it, dude, come on, it sucks dropping them off, but it was good doing it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but you're telling me you would rather do that than sitting there and smelling the popcorn in your own microwave. No, I hate that.

Speaker 2:

I rather my wife go off to another section.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, just because you don't like your wife, whatever.

Speaker 2:

And go visit another section that's Bobby's personal. Just go sit over there, but no, I really.

Speaker 3:

That's where Netflix and chill came from, is that? No, they started enjoying that.

Speaker 1:

Like oh look I can just go here.

Speaker 3:

We don't have to go nowhere and luckily for the farmer boy, he doesn't have to pay no money because he don't have no money. Right, we'll just chill out here. Look, I got popcorn.

Speaker 2:

I bought you a Hershey bar. It's a peanut butter, peter Pan, peanut butter. Drop it in that popcorn. Yeah, peter Pan peanut butter.

Speaker 3:

Cut a in that popcorn Peter Pan peanut butter.

Speaker 1:

Cut a hole in the bottle of popcorn.

Speaker 2:

That's great story time. I'm glad you guys got to reminisce on your childhood, rick's childhood, peanut butter. Actually Rick was a younger, so to us it was a little different experience, yeah, and plus we moved around in big cities where they had like blockbusters and stuff like that. So I actually lived in many big cities that had that. Anyways, let's rank this beer.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to say it's like I'm done already. No, I know exactly what it is, but I'm going to say an eight, an eight. I did go an eight, an eight.

Speaker 2:

Hmm.

Speaker 3:

I did go an eight, an eight. I need a bottle.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, the Dungland. Billy the Dungland, is that a full hand? I'm going to say that you give it eight. I actually enjoy it. I'm going to go eight and a half.

Speaker 3:

I thought it was a little bitter. A little bit it's got a little bite to it.

Speaker 2:

It's got a bite On the backside. No, through the whole thing, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

I think, when you sip it.

Speaker 2:

It's like through the whole thing, but I give it eight and a half. I like it. I'm trying, like as you're tasting it, you get that but you know, maybe you get more on the back end, because it no, it's just wait, no, it's all through it it's kind of dark.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's a darker beer and it's kind of a, it's kind of almost a red, yes, but it's so bitter it is. I'm gonna give it eight million, but I don't, I don't know. I'm giving it an eight. I'm giving it an eight. What did I say? Eight and a half, eight and a half. I'm just saying that because I can drink it, because I said it no, I can drink it.

Speaker 2:

Whatever bitch, I can drink it, but I really do think it's a good beer, but I just can drink it. Now, out of the three, what is a trust me beer? Or none is to trust me, I don't know. I mean I kind of like the um three river. No, the the stout. Uh, the porter porter, kind of like the porter. If, out of the three, I enjoyed that one, I enjoyed this one, even though I might have ranked it. But you don't have to trust them at all, I know. But would you say, trust me, try this. I didn't know if I gotta trust me. Out of all, I don't either.

Speaker 2:

I would say they're good beers, but they're not like trust me here.

Speaker 3:

Try this. Well, there's three different kinds of beers. Yeah right, would you would?

Speaker 2:

you say I mean, if you were at the brewery you probably would say Three River. Trust me, it's good, right? Actually, that was the one I would pick If I was at the brewery. It would be the Three River, yeah absolutely yeah.

Speaker 3:

If I was getting that out of the tap. That's where I got.

Speaker 2:

You'd probably say trust me, three River Okay.

Speaker 3:

But it's a 9%-er 9.5.

Speaker 2:

Trust me, you'll get drunk.

Speaker 3:

Trust me, you'll look good.

Speaker 2:

Trust me you'll. But out of all the three, I do agree I don't think they're all strong, trust me, but the trust me the most that would do it was Three River. I was at the brewery but just to buy them off the shelf I wouldn't have anybody run out. I kind of like the porter, I think. If I would say the porter if the shelf right, even even yeah at the shelf, or even if you're at the brewery, yeah because I might even I mean you guys say the three rivers improved at the brewery.

Speaker 2:

I bet you the porters was like another half point high and they didn't have that there.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's the problem. So it's hard to say yeah. So you guys don't. They're all good. You don't got a solid.

Speaker 3:

Trust me on this show. You know what? Honestly, I would say that they were all good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We said they were all delicious. They're basically average 9% so trust.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, I love the brewery.

Speaker 2:

Trust me you'll like the brewery. It'll be a good time. Is it nice food? Did you have good food?

Speaker 3:

there or anything. No, I don't even think they have food.

Speaker 2:

Oh, they don't have food, nope oh.

Speaker 3:

Just there for the beer. We stopped in, had one beer and I picked up these. I had two beers, but I don't even think they have food there.

Speaker 2:

So it's Trust Me Brewery. Yeah yeah, not a beer Trust.

Speaker 1:

Me Brewery. The brewery is good.

Speaker 2:

I mean, if we enjoyed all three, it's a Trust Me Brewery, right, absolutely. We can't say it's a Trust Me Beer, it's a Trust Me Brewery, brewery, yes, so I mean, if you're ever out out there and you go to uh bridge. Brewing works out in uh fayetteville, fayetteville fayetteville, not fayette nom, fayette nom fayetteville, west virginia that's what they used to nickname uh north carolina oh, fayetteville, north carolina, yeah fayetteville because it was fayetteville, north carolina, right, but the army base took it over and it was fayette nom.

Speaker 2:

Oh so I get that. Every time I used to go, billy was there, yeah, and I would go from where I was at Seymour Johnson down to him and it was like you're going to Vietnam today. I'm like, yeah, I'm going to go see my brother. That place is crazy, it's like Vietnam, you know, but there's a place down there that makes the best calzone.

Speaker 1:

But this is like 30 years ago.

Speaker 2:

They make the best calzone down there. Still to this day. You want that calzone.

Speaker 3:

I crave that.

Speaker 2:

Fayetteville, north Carolina. I remember going to lunch there. I'd drive it was a distance Get that calzone. I was like, yes, was it heaven? It was heaven. Was it that good? It was freaking good. I had something where I Now. Now there's this uh place in north carolina, this pizza I dream about. It was freaking delicious, yeah, but I think it was just a pop-up place and I can't remember the name of it. And then tracy used to eat there at seymour johnson. We used to eat there all the time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I kind of know where this one was and it was yeah yeah I'm taking 20, 30 years and get a calzone I'm thinking probably not even there anymore.

Speaker 2:

I've been retired 14 years, so this is like 34 years ago. I'm trying to remember this pizza place, but uh, I, I, it's just there's places I I get remembered on food. When I go to the place, like the city, I'm like, oh, where I've been and lived and I'm like we got to go here, go over here, but that's about it, all right. Um, what you guys?
