SPEAKER_05

So how exciting. We'll look forward to those. Um, but first, gentlemen, what are we drinking?

SPEAKER_04

That's a very good question. Uh yeah. What is it called? And I can actually look up to the TV and tell you what it's called. Oh, yeah. So I think we're all on the same. We're all drinking the Summer Valley Rolling Hills. Summer Valley Rolling Hills. Oh wait, the screens changed now.

SPEAKER_05

So I can't give you any more information. It's from Summer Valley. It's 4.2% hazy pearl. Where's that? Yeah, where is that? Uh Farrington Curtainly turn right. And why do we have that? That's a keg beer. That's a keg beer. So so this weekend.

SPEAKER_05

Uh it's only about, I thought, 18. Is it on the uh the finger ball? No, we haven't added we haven't added it. Because it's not a permanent feature. I see. So um my son um helps organise the Get On Festival in Exeter, which was this weekend, which was very, very successful. We went down for the day, had a right laugh.

SPEAKER_04

Nice. What day did you go down?

SPEAKER_05

Saturday. Uh-huh. Saturday, it was bouncing. Yeah. Um and then um they had uh they had a bar there, obviously. And whatever it was. Wouldn't have gone without one. One cask was left over, or one keg was left over. So they'd had the Linda machine for backstage in the production office. Who's Linda? That's the machine. It's the machine you dispense from. Um, send us more. Yeah, I could do with another one to be honest.

SPEAKER_06

Linda, send a blender. Blenders, do you reckon? They spell it B-O-E-N-D-R. Blinders. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, they make those in Carlisle.

SPEAKER_06

What? What? Blinda Carlisle. Alright, yeah, nice. That was quite vague, to be fair. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um that was Curtis, shout out to Emma and Michael who lent us the Linda and kind of gave it to the guys for the get on festival.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, nice.

SPEAKER_05

Very good. So um so we thought rather than let it go to waste, we'd put it on in the pub. So it's once only, but you know, who knows? People said we'd never have keg lager. You said that.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, you said that. Didn't you? Yeah. Yeah. And now it's people. Now it's the best-selling thing. Maybe.

SPEAKER_04

And it's only because it's summer.

SPEAKER_05

No, it was the best-selling thing in the winter and so um it is of course lovely. Yeah, so what are we thinking then? Are you it's a bit cold? I I think it's really good.

SPEAKER_06

It is really, really excellent.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know what to what to sort of describe it or or compare it to. I was gonna do a different thing. It is giving me it's giving me just like that good quality PLL feeling. It's not it's not trying to be too much more than it needs to. No, but it's also interesting enough that you know it's got a slight haze to it.

SPEAKER_06

That's full point.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, slight haze to it.

SPEAKER_06

Well, it's hazy.

SPEAKER_04

It's fully fucking opaque, mate. I guess because it lets light through.

SPEAKER_06

It's very light.

SPEAKER_04

Barely that slight through. Yeah. It's good, it's got that left-handed giant yellow, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_06

It does, it really does. Maybe we're sure that's where they are something. Is that so it's not left-handed giant cake? No, it is different.

SPEAKER_04

If I had a blindfold on, I could I I you know and I didn't know. I reckon I wouldn't need a blindfold.

SPEAKER_06

I reckon if yeah. If I didn't know what that was, you would guess. I would have guessed left-handed giant.

SPEAKER_05

That's not a bad thing to impersonate, isn't it?

SPEAKER_06

It's excellent, actually. It's a good thing to be compared to.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I do as well. Although recently, every time I've had a kebab, I've had the shits.

SPEAKER_04

Oh you that seems to happen when you with every kebab.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that's true. Has nothing to do with the 13 pints you drink beforehand.

SPEAKER_04

I don't think I've ever eaten anything that's given me the shit.

SPEAKER_05

What?

SPEAKER_04

Whoa, that's a bold statement. There you go.

SPEAKER_06

It is a bold statement.

SPEAKER_04

And it annoys me when people say that they have. It annoys you. Why do you think they're they're they're swinging their legs? Well, it's just I know a couple people, I'm not gonna name names. But um and it's just like everything they eat, it's just oh that's gonna do this to me, that's gonna do this to me. It's just like shut up and eat it.

SPEAKER_06

Well, people have IBS and stuff. Yeah, cringe. Yeah. Yeah, because you all you eat is vegetables. I mean, I'm surprised you didn't have the shits when you went from eating nothing but veg for six years to having like massive meat burgers.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that did happen. Yeah. Well, I'm an athlete now, so I I I counteracted it. Oh, that's a story, isn't it? It is. We'll we'll come on to that. But it's been I've had a bit of hiatus from even beer, and I'm gonna have to have another one soon.

SPEAKER_06

Worst takeaway pizza we've had in over 30 years.

SPEAKER_04

There you go. That's my one.

SPEAKER_06

Some it it's it it's even really good. Yeah, it's bad. It's never like so awful that you can't eat it. I've never had a pizza so awful that I wouldn't eat it. Yeah, fair.

SPEAKER_04

No, isn't it is that like Brandon's ease in it? It's nothing.

SPEAKER_05

It's impossible to mess up, isn't it?

SPEAKER_04

Because you can mess something up with it still with it still being edible.

SPEAKER_06

But that's why it's like beer. Like the worst rate of beer you have, I would say, oh, this is like a two. But then it could be like a five. Yeah, but there are beers that you don't won't drink. Just won't drink. Yeah, but they're not undrinkable unless they're like gone off. I don't know if there is a beer that you wouldn't drink. I don't know if there is. I would choose not to drink certain beers, but I wouldn't if if someone at gunpoint was like, you have to drink this, and I would I'd be like, hold on, this is taking a taking a turn. Gunpoint's a different thing. I wouldn't I wouldn't be like Yeah, I think we'd do most things if someone was pointing a gun at us. I would be like, I can't drink it. Or if they said oh you have to drink this and keep it down, I would be like, oh. Keep it down. Yeah, because some people would be like, oh, that's fucking disgusting. Yeah, those are the kind of people that annoy me.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I'm gonna fucking feel this tomorrow. Shut up. This is where we came in, wasn't it? Yeah. So what have we got? Where's the can? Is this a um new Bristol?

SPEAKER_05

Because one's got a fucking monkey, one's got a frog. Um aforementioned son, George, hates frogs. Does he? Yeah. Why? He once spent a whole train journey going to Birmingham, I think it was. And the woman opposite had a Tupperware container with frogs in. Was it frogs or frogs? Is that why he hates them? I don't know. No, no, he was chased around the garden by a young girl with a frog when she was about when he was about seven. Crazy frog.

SPEAKER_04

Oh really? Yeah. Well, do you do it on your own?

SPEAKER_05

No, there was uh there was a team, but they just pushed me forward.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, okay. You had to do a talent.

SPEAKER_05

You had to do a talent. That's no tie break. What was your talent? So, well the fellow beers.

SPEAKER_04

You said I'll neck these five cans.

SPEAKER_05

The fellow who did it, who I was against, he what was it? He jumped through his he jumped through his hands.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, he like linked his arms and then hopped through. Yeah, talent.

SPEAKER_05

He did that, he did that ten times. Oh, maybe that's talent. That's quite good actually. And I had to um so what did he add to while I was waiting?

SPEAKER_04

Someone told him to stop.

SPEAKER_05

While I was waiting, I sent George to try and find a paper bag because I wanted to do the um invisible wall trick. Have you ever seen that? No. It's not gonna work on a podcast, by the way. I would kind of want to see it though.

SPEAKER_06

I could video it and put it on socials.

unknown

Oh, we have got a paper bag.

SPEAKER_04

Oh yes. Yeah, you're gonna have to do it now. You're gonna have to do it now. You dropped yourself a name. It's um a Malcolm and Wise thing. Okay. Okay. So what what? It's the thing where it like something pushes the bag forward.

SPEAKER_05

I'll show you.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, this is gonna be crazy technology. It got a lot of laughs, but didn't make the cut, I'm afraid. What?

SPEAKER_06

And you lost to the guy that was jumping through his hands.

SPEAKER_05

Did you do it well? No, because I only ended up with a jiffy bag.

SPEAKER_06

What's that? What's a jiffy bag? Like what you put like a game in to post it.

SPEAKER_05

A padded bag, so that it hasn't got the flexibility of a paper bag with hoping it's going to appear in front of me. How do you do it?

unknown

I'm working on it.

SPEAKER_05

Hey? Or is that part of the magician? Yeah, I'm part of the magic circle. I can't tell you that.

SPEAKER_06

I feel like that sounds more impressive than just jumping over your hands ten times.

SPEAKER_04

Uh yeah, uh it depends.

SPEAKER_05

That's a horrible noise. Is that a horrible noise? What was in that bag, Scott Check? Well, there was a ball in there. I'm just gonna throw the ball to Derek over there. There you go, Derek. Balling bag. This is gonna get it filled. Nice and high. Nice and high.

SPEAKER_06

That's good, that is.

SPEAKER_04

Is that it? That's it.

SPEAKER_05

I didn't have a proper paper bag. Wait, so it just went five. Yeah, so it's sort of like muffled. And then they started throwing foil at me.

SPEAKER_01

Oh.

SPEAKER_06

SPEAKER_04

No, well there you go. Well I thought I would I would I would like to say that you got robbed, therapy. Yeah, I would as well. Yeah. So sorry about that. What's the prize anyway? You probably would have to give half of it to charity anyway.

SPEAKER_05

What? Yeah, one Turkish cigarette. One. What would you have done with that? No, I think it was just one Turkish cigarette.

SPEAKER_06

What's the difference? It tastes like Turkish delight or something. What's the difference between a Turkish cigarette? Don't they smoke marble reds there as well?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, but they're cheaper, aren't they?

SPEAKER_04

The Turkish do love their cigarettes.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, that's how I that's how I roll. Wow. Very good. So where are we putting this beer? Down our necks.

SPEAKER_04

I couldn't be, I've only just thought that. No, it's not infected.

SPEAKER_05

Right. Oh, hang on, sorry. Um, for the listeners that have been.

SPEAKER_04

I'm gonna have to take my shoe off. It's not I'll do it later. I don't think that's necessary. Yeah, great. But I think it's fine. I should look forward to it. It's just a small scar, it didn't get infected, I didn't need antibiotics, and the good news is I'm covered by tetanus for another ten years. So who's the real winner?

SPEAKER_06

SPEAKER_06

Apparently it's not too busy right now.

SPEAKER_05

Anglo-American, isn't all of America Anglo? No. Not the um not the Latin speaking part of Oh yeah, true. Does Anglo mean English?

SPEAKER_04

Yes. Thanks. Twin Peaks is a translantic crossover exploiting the best of the UK and the USA. The mould base is a Maris Otter, a legendary British heritage barley variety, famed for its rich and multi-character. This acts as the perfect foundation for the carefully selected American hops to shine. We use a mix of classic West Coast varieties along with the renowned citra. For a parade grapefruit and mango with floral character.

SPEAKER_05

What about you?

SPEAKER_04

Serves at five to eight degrees. Cascade hops amarillo. Centennial citra willamette. Light grapefruit orange. Lemon sherbet floral. Steakhouse burger. What?

SPEAKER_06

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Five percent. Trouble is though, that would give me the shits. Steakhouse burger, yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I don't know what that'll that'll bung me right up.

SPEAKER_06

Something's literally do they. You can't deny that. White bread. If you ate a loaf of white bread, you'd become a loaf of it. But that's a fact. You can't say it's a pussy.

SPEAKER_04

I didn't realise people still ate white bread.

SPEAKER_06

I have white bread this morning. I love white bread. I love white bread. White power.

SPEAKER_04

Just bread. It's bad for you, bro.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I know that, but that's what.

SPEAKER_05

You should eat the whole grain stuff then. And the beer's fantastic. I'm not really.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. What I do, I eat I eat brown bread so that I can drink more beer.

SPEAKER_00

Do you want to know what the untapped score is for this one?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah. Please. I quite like this music, it's Serene. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_00

Did that have a did we say the kernel was 3.84.

SPEAKER_04

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_05

Ah yeah, but that's because the beer nerds will get the bigger. Yeah, well the Poncy lot were drinking. Derek. Derek will be doing it.

unknown

That's the old Tatsu.

SPEAKER_05

Right.

SPEAKER_06

Shall we drink? And drink. It smells nice.

SPEAKER_05

I've still got raspberry on my yellow.

SPEAKER_06

I like that. It's not I really like that. It's not as bombastic as um. It's not as bombastic as um the other stuff we've discussed.

SPEAKER_04

It's almost like that's almost like a umba loba. That almost tastes like a premium lager.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, no, I know. Like special brew.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. I like it. I like it. I like it. Um I prefer the other two though.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, it I mean it's completely different. It is different. It tastes more like Lager. Lager. For sure.

SPEAKER_04

I think I prefer the other two. But that's a solid beer. It's really good. Yeah, I like that a lot. So does that go under the day? I wouldn't know if I'd call it a pale ale though. But I guess what else would you call it? Um, yeah, I mean it must it's gonna have to Where where are we putting the kernel? You're not even rating that. True. Yeah, to be fair, I would say it's down the bottom anyway.

SPEAKER_03

I did say that.

SPEAKER_04

But that one that's better than the kernel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean that Win Peaks is better than the Colonel.

SPEAKER_05

So, um Mark continues. Yeah. He's hailed to the Supreme Leader. Um great choice powder keg Budley Salterton. Have founded in 2014, have had it mostly in the Bridge Inn Topsham, lovely pub by the way, on Gravity Cast, always good. Then he goes on to talk about Bass. Bass a pale ale, believe it or not, is again one of those beers that people say isn't as good as it used to. Yeah. But I wouldn't know. But Nukey B. As it's the only beer that ever gives Mark Gassman a headache.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, here we go again with the ailments. I can't drink that. What ails you? Can't drink that or do this to me. White wine gives me headaches. So in the amount you drink, probably, yeah. Yeah. So I drink. Wait, but that's interesting though. So does Mark Mark Gasman's a renowned beer drinker, I I presume from his knowledge. Yeah. And he this is his one thing. Is that the not the right word?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, no, that's renowned beer drinkers. That's just a piss head.

SPEAKER_04

Well, you know he's got a pain. Tomato tomato. Based off of his knowledge, you know. Yeah. He speaks he speaks.

SPEAKER_06

No, no, no, he's incredibly knowledgeable. Yeah. About gas as well, I assume. Mark gas. Yeah, he's probably got a lot. He knows about gas. He's probably got gas from all that.

SPEAKER_04

All that beer he's been drinking, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Bass gives him gas. So um so I never drink drink it, right? Fair enough. Although he knows that the best pint at the Dolphin Plymouth on the gravity cask apparently is the best pint on the Bass Triangle was the first UK registered trademark, one for the next quiz. I think we've already done that.

SPEAKER_06

Uh the first ever UK registered trademark. Yeah. I would have thought it was like ships or slaves or something.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but they didn't have like the paperwork required to trademark shit back then, did they?

SPEAKER_06

I don't feel like they would have ever been able to No, I don't know when trademarks became a thing.

SPEAKER_05

What year was that? Well, that's been ever since Day Dot, isn't it? Trademarks. Since merchants.

SPEAKER_04

No, but you just said Bass was the first trademark. Registered trademark.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, but that was 17 something.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, that was quite late. A dedicated employee camped out overnight on New Year's Eve in eighteen seventy five outside the patent office in London to be ensure the famous red triangle was the first in line to be filed.

SPEAKER_05

Nice. He he then goes on to talk about uh a guide to cask sizes, the traditional imperial system. And it's quite a long He concludes with there are loads more keg corny kegs, etc. But that's a whole episode on its own. Well do you know what? Your keg sizes aren't gonna make the cut today because there is a much better story at the end of this email about Dolph.

SPEAKER_06

Also we can have him come on and do we could have him as a guest. I think we should do that. We can come back to keg size. The first time we've invited you. 100%, Mark. You're a loyal you're a loyal fan and a renowned beer drinker. Yay. And we should have you on and you can talk about keg sizes and cash sizes.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, because because he's not going to be popular after this, so I think he needs to build his rep up. Oh shit. Dogs in pubs to add to the dog story.

SPEAKER_04

Sounds like a good man to me already.

SPEAKER_05

I have got no problems with dogs in bars, but unfortunately, like some tamp taperums have barred kids, because they are untrained in it. Yeah. Will happen with dogs unless the owner trained them. It seems to be a lack of skill in this field recently. I was in a pub in Glastonbury. Obviously a rare event. It's all those COVID dogs, I swear. Obviously a rare event, as I only drink in the Etsy arms. Yeah, of course. A dog was constant a dog was constantly barking, and me and my friend could not hear each other. We politely asked if the dog could stop barking and and if not, take be taken outside. Untrained dog and owner. The response was we got was not great, and someone near them started on saying it. It's not very good English, Mark. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know if it's your reading or his writing. No, it's his writing.

SPEAKER_05

Was okay. Then two people came in from the other bar to say, can you please get the dog to shut up? Nice. Then they drank up and left. So this is his summary of the whole situation. So dogs in short on short leads, under control and on the floor, not on seats, due to the possible infection and of toxicoresis.

SPEAKER_04

Is that the thing that makes you blind? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So why you can't have dogs on the sports field? Which can cause serious human eye sight conditions. Shit. Both basically from their share.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, they don't wipe their ass.

SPEAKER_04

Which is why I was surprised up at the fucking summit of Monday the other day, they had a load of dogs up there.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, shitty bum dog.

SPEAKER_05

Basically, most dogs are not trained and their owners seem even more untrained. Yeah, scum. So I I think that's not the sentiment of the X of Arms. No. But we like we welcome well behaved dogs in the pub. Fair enough. I've just got one more line after this. He concludes with just a tip. If you want more emails, just mention cyclists. Oh scum.

SPEAKER_04

Oh joke.

SPEAKER_06

I'm a cyclist. Yeah, exactly. Do you get many cyclists in there? Yeah, but we get loads. Yeah. I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. I I'm I I appreciate everyone's right to um cycle and enjoy themselves and get fit. You got so right. But if I if I ever acceded to great office and became Prime Minister or anything like that, first law, no one over the age of 35 should wear Lycra.

SPEAKER_04

Wait, what?

SPEAKER_05

Okay, where do you cycle on your in your everyday life? Whatever the fuck I want. Yeah, take it. Yeah, exactly. You cycle to the pub, don't you? Or you cycle to a c for a for a coffee. Because you're always queuing up in front of me with these lycra cow clad. Yeah, I often cycle to Do you know why a professional cyclist wears lycra?

SPEAKER_04

For speed.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, to gain marginal gains of seconds. For like sweat. So do you wicking? Do you do you really need to get there like 0.9 of a second before chafing as well?

SPEAKER_04

Because like my shorts as well. Because you don't wear underwear with them.

SPEAKER_06

That's disgusting. I don't want to think about your knob.

SPEAKER_04

But one of these double E on this episode. It's freeing. It's freeing, you know. And it's quick, and you don't you don't chafe and and you have the the padded the padded shorts. Um and then the other thing, like the jersey is just like they have convenient pockets and they're they're lightweight and they Oh, because no other garment has pockets. Not like a top, not like the how they do on the back. It's good stuff. I'll show you mine one day. I'll come I'll cycle in. You're alright. You're alright. I've seen it. Yeah. You don't need to get anywhere any quicker. I don't think it necessarily makes you that much faster though. It's more just like the whole comfort.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, comfort. Well, I'd I'd be interested.

SPEAKER_06

I'd be more comfortable in the car.

SPEAKER_05

I I need to uh we can't go again. Yeah, we can need another one. I need another one. We could record for like three hours today, to be fair. We could do I I love how we started early specifically and we're basically like almost finished, and we haven't even done an hour. Have we not?

SPEAKER_04

Is it something about the day because I feel less talkative? Yeah, or sober.

SPEAKER_06

No, I feel quite good now. I feel like I'm I've ramped into it. You're in, yeah. Yeah, fair. But usually we're at like an hour and fifteen and we've only had three.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, we've got about another twenty-three minutes of material to find. Yeah. Yeah, we could do that. Easy, we've got an email.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Are those nuts for us?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Which ones are they? I reckon we can just chat it out, probably.

SPEAKER_05

They're the bacon. So I and we're still thinking about this, shouldn't we?

SPEAKER_04

We should, yeah, we should probably talk about that one. Fucking talking about nuts.

SPEAKER_05

That's nuts.

SPEAKER_06

Now we're talking about nuts. Stop.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, no one likes that. So you're not with me on banning s like craft?

SPEAKER_04

No, because I think it's necessary, it's comfy, it's nice. Have you ever put any on? No, God no. I wouldn't ban it, but I would make a public humiliation. But what's wrong with it? What don't you like about it?

SPEAKER_05

Well, it's just like Do you think it's what?

SPEAKER_04

You don't you think you can see too much or Oh, sometimes there's some guys coming here and they're like in their sixties.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, and you can like see the outline of the wrinkles on their nuts like.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but let's just let 'em let them do their thing. But it's just like that's like it feels predatory. Yeah, maybe. It's when they when they have the bikeware as well, and they unzip and you the chest hair comes out. Yeah, exactly, exactly. No, I know.

SPEAKER_05

But don't go to a pub. Do you know what I mean? You wouldn't come well no, people do come in in their high Vs and overalls and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_04

But what I'm saying is you wouldn't like if you were a cyclist, if you rode a bike for as long as those guys do, you would you would you would realise that you don't want to be wearing anything about that. It's the optimal clothing. Yeah, but whether or not it's I don't think it's just for speed, but for comfort mainly and for Yeah, but if you were a scuba diver, you wouldn't come in and to the pub with a wetsuit on.

SPEAKER_06

That's a really good point. Too good point, too, really good point.

SPEAKER_04

So maybe just ban don't ban LightGru, ban cyclists from pubs. Yeah, I'm down with that.

SPEAKER_05

Would that include you? If you've come in my body cycle, if you're exactly apologies to the bridge cycle club in Lancourt, but we do love your custom here. We listened to this on the way here.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's them I went on a bike ride I listened to a podcast. Alright, okay. So what uh what I don't think we should ban them. I don't have a problem with old old men drinking nuts.

SPEAKER_05

I think it's it's dressing. Don't clip that. Dress appropriately.

SPEAKER_04

I just think no, what'd you no, but no, but there's no there's no way that you can do that. They're not gonna bring a backpack full of like overalls. When they come clippy cloppy in here looking like sperms. Yeah, the clippy cloppy is another thing as well. But they're just cleats, though. You can't bring another pair of shoes.

SPEAKER_05

There's so many you have to then separate your sport from your shoulders.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, mate, go home, have a shower, then go to the pub. Yeah, yeah. I d I don't yeah. Well, I don't often go to a pub recycling, coffee shop, yeah. Because the trouble is with me, I can't just have one and go home. Oh, he's not gonna sell much ice cream going that quick. Have we already done that one on the podcast? I don't know. I do it. I know you do it every time. Um that one. But what was I saying? Um I don't yeah, I would I don't think I'd go for I'd I've definitely gone for one beer only because I was I saw you.

unknown

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, all the homeless people in summer. You'd have thought a general manager would have a better grip stock of the budget for this sort of production. Yeah, but we could say it was for charity. That's not 140 quid. Is there a button on um like deliveroo that says I'm having this for charity? Greg. Please deliver.

SPEAKER_06

Ah well you could write it off at expenses, surely.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_04

So at the very bottom, the colonel we had the the the the colonels, unfortunately. It was a great beer, liked by all. Liked by Linda Linda from South Peters. But I just don't think it was what I was I it's not it's not a bit of me that. I really enjoyed it. Would you buy it? Uh probably not. That's what I mean.

SPEAKER_06

Like I really like seven pounds a bottle.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but it's not the point, because I'd spent a lot of money on beer before. So anyway, so that one's at the bottom.

Even though I like the frog one, I would have bought the dayer over the frog one. Do you know what I mean? I think the tower's right. I think it is in terms of taste, yeah, but it's funny because you don't know until you've tried it, do you? Buying a can't is a big commitment, but don't be afraid, guys. Go in there and just pick a random can.
