Thank you, welcome back. This is your hostess with the most. And then here we are. We got some special things for you tonight. We're in the christmas season, so we're gonna do some christmas beers for you. Tonight we got, yeah, so we got winter warmer, which is the brew kettle, and, uh, we're gonna do that. That's, of course, the spice winter ale. I, I'll be honest, I'm not a big, big fan of, uh, winter warmers. You see, that's 8.2 percent.
Speaker 1I did not see that so it's a good thing we're starting off with that. Yeah, that's when we're gonna start. Yeah, that'll be a good one.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's gonna be good and then we're gonna finish with a winner welcome mail. And this one's out of samuel smith's uh, it's the oldest brew, that. Well, everybody's the oldest company, right? But this one's a product of the uk. It actually says that the uh, the brewery is in 1758, so established the oldest brewery company, right? But this one's a product of the UK. It actually says that the brewery is in 1758, so established the oldest brewery.
Speaker 1So now I was wondering how much did that little four-pack cost you? I don't remember. I had probably a $20 bill. Yeah, it's probably.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't want to say yeah, but it's a product of England. We're going to do that in the second half.
Speaker 1Yeah, but it's a product of England, we're going to do that in the second half, so we'll get started with the winter warmer. It's a product of England.
Speaker 2you said oh, this one.
Speaker 1That other one. No, it's a. Oh, I thought that's what you said.
Speaker 2No, it's a product of Samuel Smith. Oh, oh I said England, England.
Speaker 1England. Yeah, I thought you said England.
Speaker 2No, I, I thought you said England. Well, you can't. Oh, for some reason, we've done winter warmers that are white. This one's a brown color, probably because this is a spice one, right? Oh?
Speaker 1yeah.
Speaker 2Not really a smell to it no. Oh, it's different it's uh.
Speaker 1Yeah, the back end of it's a little strong, but I can see me liking it. Yeah it is?
Speaker 2I have a feeling it. You know it has that pleasant taste it's not bad it almost tastes like a traditional um christmas ale. It's got full flavor, though.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I can almost taste fruitiness to that first sip. You can almost taste like a fruitiness to it, like a.
Speaker 2That's not that bad, actually, you know what? It kind of reminds me of a little bit. Reminds me of the Shiner yes the Shiner, I was going to say the same thing. Yeah, where you get a little bit of me of the shiner yes the shiner, I was gonna say the same thing.
Speaker 1Yeah, where you get a little bit of that fruit, that fruit, but now it is a little stronger on the back end of it.
Speaker 2Yes, and it doesn't have that pecan no, no, but it has that peachy. Yeah, cherry cherry type going on there yeah.
Speaker 1no, that's pretty freaking good. Actually it is pretty good From Brew. Oh, maybe the beer bitch will bring up brew kettle.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, Maybe they'll bring it on, yeah, but no, so we haven't. No, we don't, I guess not tonight. No Technical difficulties tonight Without a PC.
Speaker 1She's only getting a quarter tonight.
Speaker 2And some pennies Throw them out. Some pennies throw them out. Yeah, we're gonna make a hail. We might even do a throwback show, because we were talking a little bit about throwback stories and, you know, one thing came up was rick was talking about that mark on my face.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't. I never knew where that came from, like I didn't understand.
Speaker 2I never wanted to bring it up because I felt bad yeah so I try to grow a beard a little bit to cover it. To cover it up, yeah, but you know they say when you get a cut or a hair don't grow.
Speaker 2Correct, right, yeah, so one time when I was little I was trying to help my brother, the Jason Keeper Creeper, make a grilled cheese sandwich Because he burnt the shit out of it. I'm like here, let me help you, and he was trying to flip it over. Then he turned around, he got so mad and he took the spatula that had been sitting in that fire getting all toasty with that oil and this thing was like almost turning red and he puts it right on my face and and it puts a mark right down my cheek.
Speaker 1I can see it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got a wrinkle.
Speaker 2You got a wrinkle right there and I was a nice brother and I just took it all and I was like, just let me help you with your grilled cheese. He throws it down, runs out. I flip it over and make the grilled cheese, I eat it, and then you ate it.
Speaker 1I fucked you.
Speaker 2I'll burn it. It ain't that burn bitch. Hope you're hungry in there. You just burnt the shit out of me, but yeah, no, I think I helped him out and he was good. I don't think he ever felt bad about burning me though.
Speaker 1I don't think he ever did. That's his evilness.
Speaker 2He's in this. Keep it, keep it.
Speaker 1Die, die, die, ah, Ah, ah. It makes you more distinguished. He was just helping you out.
Speaker 2You know, if he would have got the line better, though that would have been a nice line for my cheek, for your beard, yeah. So now I can't grow hair. Now it's all fucked up, yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, like a heart fucking, yeah, shape. No, it was a line right across and the mom's like what happened there.
Speaker 2Oh nothing, I fell right.
Speaker 1Curling iron got me with the old hickeys and stuff.
Speaker 2But so we were just throwing back some memories because, uh, one other thing that came up was we had some people over and this cat wanted to find some pictures, you know. So I was helping her go through them and stuff, and I was digging so I came across some pictures from all the different travels we did. You know, they went to Hawaii once, right, and there's probably about 200 of them, hawaii picturesi pictures. I get in that stack and I'm like no, no, I'm not going through all these. Picture of this rock, picture of this tree, picture of this. I'm like water, water, water, water, water. And then I came across one where cat was out there.
Speaker 1I was like I don't remember her looking like that yeah, like oh, I don't remember that picture, I don't either. What's that dick in her mouth? Who's that guy with her?
Speaker 2Why is there a surfboard? What's that on her face?
Speaker 1A smile. She got a smile on her face. I haven't seen that in years.
Speaker 2Yeah, what the hell. But no, yeah. So I was going through the pictures, I'm like I'm not going through these wired things. And then, of course, my sister's in there, you know, and here's a family, family, um, uh, what do you call it? Beach, right, yeah, family beach. And she's laying on the beach. And there she is with the thong, now, 50, 50 years ago, no, no, no, with a thong, yeah, a thong on his family, and you see all the guys in the background looking, she's just all arched, just her butt's arched. Yeah.
Speaker 2She's making a slap, so it was going. She's clapping, she's all clapping and all the guys in the background. You see one guy getting smacked by his wife. All the rest of them are clapping.
Speaker 1Yeah, but listen, hers is louder.
Digital Photo Memories and Nostalgia
Speaker 2Wait, I think I've seen poop pop out. No, so we were going through that, and there was old pictures of you know all brothers, army buddies and different things and stuff. The hardest thing, though, is when you're so used to looking at pictures on phones, right, what's the first thing you want to do? It's like kind of Scroll in.
Speaker 1Yeah, you want to pitch in. Yeah, you want to. Yeah, so I'm sitting there.
Speaker 2You want to see a cootie?
Speaker 1pitch what's hanging out. I'm sure them lips are hanging out. Then I'm like where's?
Speaker 2that guy's hand on cat I can't zoom in enough.
Speaker 2All right, she's like you don't need to look at that picture anymore all right you know, but I'm uh putting the glasses on, trying to get as close as I can, just binoculars yeah, like looking down, yeah, trying to what's going on, what's going on but one thing is is I don't know when we did this, but I remember doing it but it was a while ago is like one time we came back into the area and we drove around and we took pictures of different places where I grew up and stuff and it was kind of neat to remember, you know right, because it's hard to always remember what your house looked like inside back then.
Speaker 2You know what I mean and it's how you drive by it no, no, what I'm saying is like when you lived in it, like if I would take a picture of you now and then you think you know, 20 years from now you no longer live here and stuff, and then you kind of look in the background. When I'm looking at these pictures, I'm looking in the background like, oh, that's right, I did have a microwave you know, or no, I get that like, like, even.
Speaker 1But even driving by the places, yes, brings back the memories of like oh, fuck, yeah, I did do that there, whatever, I grew up here I grew up here we did that though.
Speaker 2We went around one time and I went to show a cat where we grew up and all the different things, because she was interested and I was showing her. I would take a picture of each one out the church. We went to this place. We went to all the memories, this school. We went to here's where we went, where we used to walk and stuff, and I took all these pictures and it was like, uh, it was really pulling on my memory strings to remember, but as soon as I seen I remembered, oh yeah this is this right as soon as you start.
Speaker 2Yep but it was fun though.
Speaker 1But uh, yeah, we went through there and of course it's always exciting to see all the different little uh photographs, and you know things I don't even remember, yeah, and absolutely like I remember, like I, we, we've done it at my mom's house, like she has a shit ton of pictures of all of us. There's four of us boys, you know yeah, you guys got six, five, five, yeah. So I, I mean it's same thing, you know. You start going through it like holy shit, like I remember that.
Speaker 2But people don't do that anymore. No, I know we're all digital these days, right, digital is nice, though to a point, because the fact that you can't zoom in, you can print it, you can edit it or whatever, but you have also the same, the same thing that you could lose it. You can edit it or whatever, but you have also the same, the same thing that you could lose it. You know you could lose old pictures. They get up in the attic and mildew gets to them or something like that.
Speaker 1Right, yeah, but if you lose your phone, you're done. You lost a thousand pictures yes, I mean how many?
Speaker 2how many pictures you have on your phone, probably thousands dude, yeah, you know, and videos I got years, years, yeah, oh yeah, years of, yeah, stop it, stop it.
Speaker 1No, wrong hole, wrong hole.
Speaker 2No, yours are more like deeper, deeper, deeper hey.
Speaker 1That's the right hole.
Speaker 2Hey, larry, say my name but anyways, what do you think of this winter warmer?
Speaker 1I know I got on a tangent but it's fucking pretty good it goes I actually like it and for 8.2, I would probably keep this.
Speaker 2I would definitely keep this.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's adjacent and where did you find this at um?
Speaker 2it was just at the uh store in uh jefferson right, just a regular gas station, so it's adjacent. And where did you find this at? Um, it was just at the uh store in jefferson right just a regular yeah gas station, so it's out there. Yep, it's out there. Yeah, it's actually surprisingly the flavor on it.
Speaker 1What would you rate it this?
Speaker 2because it's it, I mean I'm, I'm sucking it down, I'm a nine dude I'm a nine.
Speaker 1I'm a nine, easy nine, because, especially for an 8.2, that doesn't taste the alcohol. Yeah, you know what I mean. You don't taste the alcohol on it. It's a sweeter ale, like it's, I don't know. I like this dude, I like this a lot.
Speaker 2The thing is is I told you from the beginning, we're not big winter warmer. No, no, we're not in christmas fans. Yeah, yeah, I like uh this. To me, this is a step up from that. Uh, christmas what is that? Uh, one that is real popular around here the christmas ale so southern, not southern tears but great lakes.
Speaker 1Great lakes is a huge one, and they actually have a brew kettle right in menner. Oh, they do, they do Wow that's pretty close. That's really close for us.
Speaker 2Wow, that's probably less than an hour, it is.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, is it downtown Mentor? I wonder what this would taste on draft I wonder what it would be like if we had a computer.
Speaker 2Yeah, with the monitor and TV and all that, all that We'd probably blow up. Yeah, and all that We'd probably blow up, we'd probably get big, we'd probably make more money. But it is pretty interesting $1.32.
Speaker 1Do they serve food?
Speaker 2Yeah Cool.
Speaker 1We might have to make that road trip.
Speaker 2I would like to try this on tap, like in a glass.
Speaker 1We've done brew kettle before. I didn't know they were out of matter, though that's not their home, but is this one?
Speaker 2out of matter, let me put my glasses on.
Speaker 1That's not their home.
Speaker 2It doesn't say yeah. Three locations and all out of Ohio, oh this one's out of Ohio, it's out of Middleburg Heights. So this one's out of this one's out of how it's out of middle tent, a middle middleburg heights. So this one is out of middleburg. This is out of ohio too. I gotta get he got amherst hudson hudson oh, that's not bad, yeah they're all out of ohio yeah, that's close. Wow, well, we might have to try this. Yeah, that's why it was so local that you could get it.
Speaker 1You could get it everywhere and which you need to get.
Speaker 2Yes, it's a trust me I'm going to trust.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's surprising Go trust me, and this is a really good beer.
Speaker 2Trust me, baby, trust me, I shoot.
Speaker 1Blinks every time, don't you worry, don't worry baby. I don't need a condom.
Speaker 2I'm quick on the pull out.
Speaker 1So fast.
Speaker 2So fast.
Speaker 1So freaky fast.
Speaker 2You can call me.
Speaker 1Jimmy John's. Jimmy John's.
Speaker 2I'll be up in your sister before you know it Freaky fresh. I'll be up in her before you get a chance, anyways, but it is good. Nine, we both said nine, solid nines, absolutely. Actually, this is probably the highest score I've given a winter warmer, but dude, that kind of like you said goes to a Shiner Bach.
Speaker 1You know what I mean. Like the sweetness of that on the front end of it really takes it over the edge. Now it does get a little more alcohol-ish as you go down on the back end of it, but as you go through the drink yeah but it's good. Yeah, Now would you princess it I would, I would, yeah, princess.
Speaker 2The reason why is because the alcohol level, like you said, is lower it's eight.
Speaker 1No, it's hot.
Speaker 2No, I mean the taste. I'm sorry yeah, yeah, yeah, it's yeah even though it gets gets you hot on the upper part of it. It's sweet, it's got. Could you imagine like dressing this a little bit? What would you put? Like a little caramel sugar, Because you could get away with it a little bit. You'd probably get it Peppermint.
Speaker 1An orange or a peppermint? Oh no, orange, Like a little bit of an orange yeah. Like rub it around the edge yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the cinnamon and sugar around the edge, yeah, but I don't know An orange.
Speaker 2Yeah, because it would probably help with the fruit flavor in it.
Speaker 1Yes, an orange and A cherry. Maybe in it Frosting Whipped cream.
Speaker 2Whipped cream. Put cream on her.
Speaker 1Put a little bit of cream on it. Yeah, instead of a frosting.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1A frosting with sprinkles would be really sweet.
Speaker 2It would be really sweet, I know, but that would be good.
Speaker 1Maybe a little bit of a cream like a little mayonnaise.
Speaker 2What about going sweet? I mean not keeping away from sweet. What about an orange and a cinnamon stick?
Speaker 1That's what I'm saying Boom, keep it away from the sweetness, go an orange Cherry cinnamon stick.
Speaker 2Maybe what I'm saying boom, keep it away from the sweetness, go an orange cherry cinnamon stick, maybe a cranberry yeah, cranberries throw a cranberry in there I went to this one bar and they did like a christmas drink and they had like um, put some like silvery glary looking liqueur or something in there, but it was just for effect and they put cranberries in there and stuff and it was really cool. It was like almost like uh and an orange, like kind of a christmas thing I could make it, I get.
Speaker 1We could definitely make this a drink. Yes, I like this yeah, I do like this.
Speaker 2Yeah, and this was a six-pack so, and I don't think it was that bad. It was maybe I don't know how much this came to. That's bad. I'll have three more for tonight. I know Ethan might want one. I might have to take him one. I always like taking one.
Speaker 1But anyways, you got to take them. Dunkins Adam.

But I went up I was like ah, you know what, I wasn't even gonna decorate outside whatever.

Speaker 2Yeah, one round, because after that it would be liability right.
Speaker 1Yeah, one round yeah, one beer like if anybody wants to go and just say happy thanksgiving to people, whatever, yeah it's kind of a cool idea, dude, but our work still gives out turkeys or hams, which is nice.
Winter Beer Tasting and Trivia

Speaker 1We used to yeah, I used to. I used to get a full fucking 40 pound turkey. Damn, oh, it was like pterodactyl, like I have to throw it over my shoulder and lug it out and lug it out I mean no, we used to get 20 pounders, whatever. We don't get shit, we don't. We used to. We used to get gift cards, and then they're like okay, yeah here, here's a gift card to giant eagle for whatever we used to get um. Now we get nothing the honey baked ham.

Speaker 1It's out of the UK. No, yeah, there's nothing.
Speaker 2There's nothing. I hope it ain't flat.
Speaker 1I smell berries.
Speaker 2It's very similar to the other one. Yeah, very, but not as I like the other one a little bit better. Yeah, but I don't mind this one. No, it doesn't have the stronger alcohol, it doesn't have the stronger alcohol.
Speaker 1This is actually kind of good. It is pretty good.
Speaker 2This. You only get a four pack and it's more expensive, but it's smooth.
Speaker 1But it's good. What's?
Speaker 2the percentage on it. I think this one's only six. Let me get my glasses on. Twelve ounce Six, yeah, is it six.
Speaker 2Yeah, six. Yeah, this is pretty good, though, and it's out of Yorkshire, but it talks about, so this brewery talks about you can actually stay there, by the way but this brewery talks about the full body results from a fermentation in an open top stone called the Yorkshire Square. So it talks about this stone. So I wonder if you know the stone has some. I don't know, I don't know how they brew it, whatever yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, Runs across the stone and goes in it, but it actually is pretty good. You know, this bottle's very like slender and tall. I actually like it.
Speaker 1I do too. It almost has a champagne-type. Look to it right.
Speaker 2Look to it, it's actually pretty good. The other one was a little bit sweeter though, wouldn't you say?
Speaker 1I would say yeah, but stronger on the alcohol as well. On the alcohol, but stronger on the back end of it, and this isn't this isn't strong. But it's kind of sweet.
Speaker 2Yeah, so both of them aren't really that bad so far. It's going to be a tough one, but this isn't considered a winner. Oh, it says winner L.
Speaker 1It's a winner, l too, yeah.
Speaker 2It's still a winner L man. These winner L's are starting to grow on me, you know.
Speaker 1Yeah, well, yeah, it's not the christmas, ale no, it's a winter, ale yeah that's true, that's true, that's true. So I don't know. I like I'm. This is gonna be a rough one.
Speaker 2It's gonna be a rough one. Well, why we're drinking this one? Let's go ahead and see if you're smarter than uh ricky.

Speaker 2Everybody wants to hear dad jokes. So I guess any special holidays it's the holidays right here, with Thanksgiving and then Christmas coming around the corner Any special stuff going on with you?
Speaker 1I got nothing. You're not going out of town this time. No, we are already supposed to be gone.
Speaker 2You normally would be gone. Yeah, I'd be gone, right now, that's right, we used to do the show by myself. Hello, it's me again.

Speaker 2Friends, Thanksgiving yeah whatever.
Speaker 1I hope they're producing some chicken, I mean some turkey.
Speaker 2Friendsgiving. I hope they're producing some.
Speaker 1I think he's going to do a smash cock. Yeah, he's going to try to put my dick in his mouth. I don, I think he's going to do a smash cock. Yeah, he's going to try to put my dick in his mouth.
Speaker 2I don't think he's going to make it. He's going to try to get two in there.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know if he's going to make it.
Speaker 2Is the missus going to lay there and be like?
Speaker 1stick it in. Stick it in. Or is she going to be like more, more, more. Not a big, there's not much going on. I did try doing a cranberry. Salsa which I tried Type thing and I don't know if it's going to work out.
Speaker 2Try it. I mean, my asshole is still on fire from it, but no it's a little hot, but I I think it'll balance out. It should balance out yeah, and rick also did a very easy recipe. He should tell you real quick about these pork chops, and they were good so so anybody who hasn't seen, just look up the french onion pork chops.
Speaker 1Yeah, on tiktok, they're amazing. I did just the french onion dip, but you make your own with sour cream, stuff like that, but they're amazing. I've done them before. Quick easy. They're quick easy. Put some shredded cheese on it and a little onion crisp and it. There's something about it just bakes in, yeah, and it makes the pork chop tender shit.
Speaker 2Yeah, no, they're good because you know I I'll be one of the first ones to tell you when I get pork chops. Sometimes I don't know what to do. Right, I'm like that's why I keep away from buying pork products, because I'm like, you know, even we got this pork loin that Kat's driving up the wall to cook, right. But then I'm researching so much. So many people do the pork loin with some type of sauce to go on it or some kind of gravy you gotta have some kind, because they're dry.
Speaker 1I mean, if you overcook them they're dry. I mean if you overcook them they're dry, yes, and it's really easy to overcook them.
Speaker 2But there's a lot of people that do it with brine, like you do, a turkey, which was surprisingly. Oh yeah, so they brined it. Mine's an eight pound. So the guy said I cut mine in half because his was eight pound. And then he said that he, after the eight pound, he, he put him in a brine and they cooked him, but he pulled him at 140, you know, and then my brother was like no, that should be 160, but I think because he said he lets uh, let's say rest.
Speaker 1Yeah, he lets it rest for 30 minutes.
Speaker 2It might get up to yeah, but I mean, but when he cut it it was, it was perfect color pork.
Speaker 1Pork is the new steak, so it's okay to have a little bit of pink.
Speaker 2Well, they've been talking about that with turkey now and stuff. They've been changing a little bit Changing everything. Yeah, because now you can buy turkeys that don't come up with that little pop thing. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1Well, they tell you to pull it out. They do, I keep seeing pull it out. They do, I keep seeing pull it out. Really yeah because it's not accurate enough. It's not that accurate. I mean it's just a little whatever. Yeah, it's safe to cook or safe to eat.
Speaker 2Yeah but you're over cooking it when you get to that.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yeah, if that thing pops, you're over that's why turkeys were so dry in the past. Right but um yeah, yeah, I'm gonna smash my cock on top of your brothers.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm gonna smash my cock on top of it to break it smash cock right yeah, it's smash cock turkey yeah, smash that term when they they splatten it out like that smash cock.
Speaker 1Oh, it is.
Speaker 2Yeah, oh, I didn't know it was called that. I thought you guys were making fun of it or something.
Speaker 1No, no, now are you gonna I'm just gonna use my sledgehammer to slam it down, but they say you gotta break it you.
Speaker 2They say you gotta cut the uh backbone, like yeah, yeah, you gotta break or completely cut it out the vertebrae, and then flatten it out, yeah I'm gonna see how we do ethan's doing our turkey this week and I don't know if he's capable of doing that so I'm I'm curious to see I had to remind him to take the guts.
Speaker 1Did take the uh neck and the neck and everything. Yeah, did you have to remind them, or just let them know?
Speaker 2I just let them know yeah, yeah, you didn't have to remind them.
Speaker 1Like you like um.
Speaker 2There's things inside here, and the thing was is someone said, uh, I was going to take it out for him. And then someone said, oh no, that's the, that's the uh whole thing of cooking wine. You get to stick your hand up there, and then I was thinking about shoving a little bird in there oh, and then yeah, baby bird, yeah and then tell him it was pregnant.
Speaker 2I wanted to, so bad. But uh, I even told him. I said, yeah, shove your hand up there, make sure it ain't pregnant. But he wanted me to baste it, or Brian, and if I was going to do that, I was going to shove one up in there and then put the little plastic clip. You know that holds the legs.
Speaker 1Holy shit, we got two birds right now.
Speaker 2I wanted just to see his girlfriends. Right now I wanted just to see his girlfriend, you know, because technically it's an egg, but it's funny.
Speaker 1I mean you're going to do the same thing to her. No, you're crazy, not me. Like you said, a boy, a boy or a girl? Oh, it's a girl. Is that a man? Sorry?
Speaker 2What is that over in Bangkok? What is it, tommy Boys?
Speaker 1Tommy Boys yeah.
Speaker 2I'm telling you, I know I said this. They have that video. Can you recognize, tommy? I would fail.
Speaker 1Yeah, I would not go there because I would fail.
Speaker 2I'm telling you because some of them are hot as fuck. You know what would be happening. My face would be this, because I'd be grabbing the crotch to see if it's a girl or not, yeah but either that or and then be smacked.
Speaker 1you know, I'm like I thought Wait, the first thing I'm doing. I thought it was his ass cheeks hitting you on the face.
Speaker 2That's your dream that's why I thought you started slapping your hand. I'm telling you, I'm like oh, that's a girl, oh shit. That's a guy, that's a girl. I'm like I've done a fail.
Speaker 1Yeah, I wouldn't want to. No, no.
Speaker 2I ain't taking that gamble. I'll stay here, right here in the United States.
Speaker 1And rent your little girls like you got them.
Speaker 2I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. Anyways, what do you rate this we're?
Speaker 1gonna rate this, rate this rate this dude, I'll rent this. I want to go nine again I really do so?
Winter Beer Tasting and Banter
Speaker 2I was thinking the same thing. I'm not going 9.5 because I think I like the flavor of the other one a little bit better. Okay, because this one was smooth so should we go eight five no, I like it.
Speaker 2Nine because the fact that it was smooth and but I, I hate to say it, that I wouldn't princess this one. You know why it's borderline. I would still say trust me on this. Would you say trust me? Yes, I would absolutely. I would say trust, have it, enjoy it. But the reason why is because, as I drink more, that on my tongue gets a little bit like, you know, like a drier but yeah, I get that it does start drying out yeah, and the other one was good, but it had more of an alcohol alcohol flavor, but it was more.
Speaker 2It was more flavorful. It had more of an alcohol flavor, but it was more flavorful, it had more fruit?
Speaker 1It did, but it had more alcohol, so that's why I'm wondering if this would be.
Speaker 2If I put one and one in front of you, which one would you grab? I, personally, would grab that.
Speaker 1Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry, the Winter.
Speaker 2Warmer, the Winter Warmer, the first one.
Speaker 1Yeah, because it's very good and the other one is very good. Correct Princess Approved.
Speaker 2You think it would be reversed?
Speaker 1I think I honestly do, because it's not as strong.
Speaker 2I get that, but the one flavor, the flavor is I'm thinking with you, I say we dropped this eight and a half eight, that I'm thinking eight and a half we'll go with the other one with the nine, yeah, yeah, because out of the two I would pick the, the brew, kettle, winter warmer, the first one.
Speaker 1Oh, it won, yeah, all All day, I mean this is not bad, this is very good. No, this is very good. I would almost buy this. I would buy this Now. Would you keep it? I?
Speaker 2would keep it. I would keep it too. I would keep it, but out of the two. If I was going this. No and the winter warmer is a six-pack.
Speaker 1Six-pack and less money and more alcohol, yeah, and more food. So that's a winner.
Speaker 2That is always a winner, hey it takes less to get you drunk right.
Speaker 1No, but it just tastes better. It does, but you know for 8.2, it wouldn't downgrade? You would never know. No, no.
Speaker 2But it wouldn't take much. I already feel myself, feeling woo, I'm loose.
Speaker 1Woo, but I mean just the bougie-ness of.
Speaker 2Now I do like the other one because it's a little fancier.
Speaker 1It's a little fancier, do you?
Speaker 2think they could have went a little bit fancier on the canned one.
Speaker 1No, absolutely, who gives a fuck?
Speaker 2I don't know, I would fuck. I don't know, I, I would I mean it tastes good because you imagine okay, let me, they didn't have to. I know if they put the uh winter warmer, the first one we did in this other bottle oh, oh.
Speaker 1Well then maybe yeah, it'd be a whole different story.
Speaker 2It'd be a yeah next level because the bottle is nice, it's got got the silver. It's really holiday.
Speaker 1It's long, it's strong, it's going on, it's going on.
Speaker 2We're going flashback Anyways, but either both are. We already said they were Jason Keeper Creepers and we would trust me on both of them, so it was a good night with both of these, you know.
Speaker 1Absolutely.
Speaker 2So any other reason to?
Speaker 1drink. I've been off for a fucking week.
Speaker 2My another reason to drink is because you did so good on your tunes. You can get them out there, yeah.
Speaker 1But you know what I was thinking.
Speaker 2I ain't gonna lie he's had so much practice, we might do good coming up here what do you mean?
Speaker 1I might help you guys. Yeah like, oh wait guys, he's killing people I.
Speaker 2I sat here and watched him kill almost two. Well, he killed one player and he was on the second one With an M4.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And we're talking about Call of Duty. Yeah, call of Duty DMZ, and he started on, if it wouldn't have been for that third person.
Speaker 1I don't want. Yeah, I killed many.
Speaker 2Yeah, I was impressed, I was like okay, he's getting good, we might survive, we might survive, yeah.
Speaker 1But it's not like I wasn't bad before Whatever.
Speaker 2Now you're better, you're gooder.
Speaker 1I'm a little better, so I heard A little better.
Speaker 2I heard this lady talking about the little boy is like, ooh, this hamburger is gooder, you know. And then she was like there's no such thing as gooder we use proper grammar, it's better. You know. He's like grandma is good or no. It's good or it's good, or I'm good or I'm good. No, I'm going to get her good.
Speaker 1I'm the worst I know? I'm not. No, I'm sitting here talking to two guys. I don't know how to use the English language. One guy, like I, am gooder on things. There's a couple of things that I am gooder at, gooder at.
Speaker 2What is it how people take two words and they'll say not gooder, but they'll, I can't think of it. Gooderist, gooderist. They try to combine things, but they'll I can't think of it Guterrest, guterrest, yeah, that's it More.
Speaker 1They try to combine things, but they can't even do like More than no, more than would be right, no, it would be a good word Like Better than.
Speaker 2Plant, a plant.
Speaker 1Plants, more plants Placenta. Placenta oh yeah, placenta plant.
Speaker 2Oh, because when you say poinsettia, poinsettia. Instead of poinsettia, there's people out there that can't, that say placenta.
Speaker 1That say placenta.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean like. Episode two of our show Placenta.
Speaker 1Placenta plant yeah, two of our show. Placenta, placenta plant. Yeah, there's people out there they can't pronounce things, yeah, and they see things, which, but they know things yeah and they could figure it out, but they it just when you go in and ask for a placenta plant. Where's your placenta plants, which I get it, because it does look like a placenta.
Speaker 2I almost want to lick it. I think it'll kill you, actually it might yeah. So, anyways, honestly, another reason to drink was I'm glad this week's over and I got a nice break, and then you had a nice break, so we had a nice break over the holidays. We just want to wish you all, everybody, happy Thanksgiving and happy holidays.
Speaker 1Merry Christmas if we had all of our equipment tonight, we could actually put this out before Thanksgiving, wouldn't that be cool?
Speaker 2but you might get this. It would be nice to have something for you to listen to tomorrow, on Thanksgiving, but anyways, thank you everybody.
Speaker 1You'll probably end up waiting until Friday.
Speaker 2Yeah, two months Going back, back back to history.
Speaker 1Snow Shovel oh, she's shoveling that shit right now. Oh, she could lap it up. She's taking all that white stuff in.
Speaker 2Yeah, here she is, no shovel any hole, but honestly, thank you so much and happy Thanksgiving, and I hope everybody out there is enjoying their time and you're enjoying our show on Thanksgiving.
