This week on A Trip to the Beer Store, things get a little unhinged, in other words, business as usual. We’ve got Cody Ward in the mix, and from the second he sits down, the energy goes off the rails.

We crack open a fresh brew from Straight to Ale Brewing and give it the highly professional (and definitely not biased) taste test it deserves. Somewhere between sips, we take on the impossible task of ranking Chuck Norris jokes, because apparently, we enjoy starting debates we can’t win.

Then… we spiral. Hard.

We try to wrap our heads around one of the wildest news stories you’ve probably never heard: how in the world a quadruple amputee managed to shoot someone. Yeah. That conversation goes exactly how you’d expect. confused, slightly concerned, and completely off track.

Throw in the usual randomness, questionable opinions, and the kind of conversations that only make sense after a couple drinks, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts hilarious and “what did we just listen to?”

Grab a beer and come hang out. Or don’t. But you probably should.

SPEAKER_02

It changed my life. A trip to the best store. I met my wife on a trip to the pit store. I got her in a situation on trip to the best store. I had a revelation.

SPEAKER_03

A trip to the pit store. Leaving all my worries behind. Grab me a coven, my favorite catch up. It's funny that a kid releases that. Cracking all my kids in a bad bit straight with the highest and the home with the American way. I'm changing something.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, we're live. That's a man with no arms and no legs. Pull the trigger on a gun. It just does. You heard about this, Cod?

SPEAKER_06

I know you've been out of the I I haven't heard of it, but I know the Clintons are involved.

SPEAKER_05

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our great, great buddy here, Cody Ward, joining us for his uh first time. Home from Louisiana, working his butt off. Oh cod.

SPEAKER_08

Oh, Cod. Yeah, so um I think last night, was it last night? Was it yesterday? It's been the last day or two.

SPEAKER_05

Uh yeah, just uh a day or so.

SPEAKER_08

A professional quadriplegic cornhole player shot a dude uh in the passenger seat of his car while they were driving down the road.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, and in a heated argument. Yeah. We're finding out uh both were 27 years old. Um and something went astray. Yeah. And he somehow while driving a vehicle.

SPEAKER_06

Some might say it got out of hand.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Got out of hand, got out of leg, whatever you want to call it. Um yeah. So uh and then he pulled over and asked the passenger in the back to uh help him pull the body out of the car, and he refused, so then they drove it on down the street and unloaded him in someone's yard. Wow. Where did this happen at? I'm I'm not so crazy bent on like where it happened at. How did this happen?

SPEAKER_08

I'll say the way I found out about it, I was sitting at work today and I got an ESPN notification, an ESPN news.

SPEAKER_05

It didn't yeah, it didn't give us specifics on the thing I just read about where, but I can't get my mind around how.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

You know, that's probably and no judgment to the guy.

SPEAKER_06

And he's a professional cornhole player.

SPEAKER_05

Wow.

SPEAKER_06

Professional cornholer. Yeah. You know, that's probably it's insane.

SPEAKER_07

Probably the most interesting ESPN notification I've gotten since Oscar Pastorius shot his girlfriend.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, it's uh that is uh that's a crazy notification to get.

SPEAKER_07

I'm trying to figure out the logistics of him pulling the trigger. Yeah, wondering what they're fighting over is like.

SPEAKER_08

If they if they can decide design like um F-150s for people to drive who are paraplegic, I guess they can design 870s.

SPEAKER_05

He hadn't had it figured out. You think about driving, now he's quad. There's no you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Well we said quadriplegic, but that's not the that's not the correct term. The man does not have basically arms or legs from like the elbow down and the knee down. Oh.

SPEAKER_05

So he's a he's a he's a quadro uhlegic problem.

SPEAKER_06

He could be like fucking bionic man or something, you know, be like Stephen Hawking Hawking with some uh fucking gadget, you know.

SPEAKER_08

You think he had like a prosthetic arm that had a Glock built into it?

SPEAKER_07

Or something. Are you trying to tell me that Luke Skywalker is on the loose?

SPEAKER_08

Go-go go go gadget glock? Is that what happened?

SPEAKER_06

He figured it out.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Go-go gadget rooming to 870.

SPEAKER_08

I don't know. That's uh that's a crazy one. And it I think it's crazy that uh he just very calmly asked the person in the back seat, and he was like, Hey, you you mind helping me with this? Um I need a hand, I need a hand.

SPEAKER_09

I mean, look at a hand.

SPEAKER_07

Like I mean, how do you look at somebody's strayed face and say, hey man, do you mind helping me pull his body out of the side of my car? Like I wonder if it was one of those things.

SPEAKER_08

Do you think so? I mean, if he was in the passenger seat, I would assume that he was the better friend. You know what I mean? Like if if the your your best buddy gets shotgunned, and he gets shotgunned, you know what I mean? But well, at least he was cooperating, you know. We know that. Yeah. And then sir, you stand right there.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I'm just gonna sit over here. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

That's on you, bro. Can you please take me home?

SPEAKER_07

Fairly certain the foot chase was not denied. No foot, no foot chase. Yeah, no foot chase.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it didn't mention anything about him running. But that's more fucking believable somehow.

SPEAKER_08

Than him, than him pulling the gun. Yeah, I don't know. It's terrible. I hate the dude. I hate the dude got shot and has passed away, I think, is what you said.

SPEAKER_05

No, it's it's it's an awful situation. I'm I'm still trying to find reports like of I just need to know how. Yeah. I think everybody, that's that's the general question to anyone is uh, okay, well, can you explain how this happened?

SPEAKER_08

The craziest thing is that our good buddy's been in New Orleans for a few weeks, so he's probably seen six things crazier than that just on last Tuesday.

SPEAKER_05

You know what I mean? Hate to put you on the spot there, but anything crazy happened to you?

SPEAKER_06

Not not really. Uh uh just just been looking at some iron, you know, moving some big iron around. That's the that's the biggest thing. He was moving some big iron in the driver's seat. Big iron.

SPEAKER_05

Uh some would say he moved bigger iron than you did.

SPEAKER_08

Uh you have any good food down there, dude?

SPEAKER_06

New Orleans is my favorite city in the world. I love it. I have uh, you know, I've always liked, you know, the jambalaya and the gumbos and stuff, but one thing I've uh I've got into uh real heavy lately is uh the po'boys. What's your favorite po' boy? What you like down there? Hot sausage po boy. Oh ouch. Yep, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, pickles. Gotta have the pickles. Gotta have them. Yep. Pretty good? Yep, yep. Happy with it? That's the one, yep.

SPEAKER_08

Heck yeah. Dude, I love a po'boy.

SPEAKER_05

Cotton always gets to go to the exciting places and yeah.

SPEAKER_08

One of uh one of my favorite memories, my me and my wife went on our honeymoon to New Orleans. She had never been. And before we went to the hotel, we got got there, parked the car, and I took her to have a barbecue shrimp po'boy, which is my favorite po' boy. And uh she was like, Why are we going like let's go check into the hotel? We've been driving for like six hours. Like, can we at least just go unpack it? I'm like, absolutely not. We're gonna go eat some food right now. Um, it was fantastic though. I I love New Orleans. I'm uh I'm glad you got to eat some good food down there. That's the best part to me.

SPEAKER_07

Yep. Yep. I think the first time I went to New Orleans I was in junior high and we were on like a beta trip convention. And we were, I guess we took a wrong turn on the directions to from like our hotel to where the convention center was at. And somehow we wind up going straight down Bourbon Street at like two o'clock in the afternoon. It's kind of tame then. And and it was after seeing it as an adult, but it's two o'clock in the afternoon. There's man, there's a man standing on top of a car with his pants pulled down, peeing on the side of the street.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, and they will arrest you quick, like in New Orleans for that.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

They will arrest you. You gotta stop doing that, Cody. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. Different trip to New Orleans. New Orleans was also the first time I'd ever been offered cocaine.

SPEAKER_08

They'll do it to you down there too. Vegas.

SPEAKER_06

Vegas is the first time I ever been offered cocaine.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah. I'll I've been to Vegas too, but uh when I went to Vegas, I had just freshly turned 21, and so I was thinking, heck yeah, Vegas, uh, gonna have a good time. What I didn't account is that I was the youngest dude. Therefore, all of my older buddies were like, You're babysitting this dude, you're driving, like you're taking care of everybody. And I had just broken some ribs, uh, and I ended up fireman's carrying one of my real, real drunk buddies all the way through the uh what is it? Is it the MGM? That's the big one down there. No. Um is that right? Is it MGM? It's one of the big ones, yeah. Uh that's where we stayed. No, not what's the what's the other one? What's the big casino? There's a lot of big casinos.

SPEAKER_06

You're talking the gold nugget.

SPEAKER_08

Um, that one I ended up fireman's carrying his drunk ass that's a big place through the entire thing, all the way through the parking channel.

SPEAKER_05

The MGM's big too. I didn't realize what all the MGM was involved in.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah. Maybe it was the MGM. I don't I don't really remember. I was trying to keep him from vomiting on me was my primary concern. But it was terrible. He was uh he was a jujitsu guy as well, so the whole time he's on my back, I'm carrying him and he is trying to fight me while I'm trying to carry him through this huge crowd of people. He's trying to hit people while he's on my back. I'm having to apologize to him. And uh, by the time we got to the car, I was so hurt just from carrying him with broken ribs that I like dumped, like John Cena threw him into the trunk of a car and slammed the trunk door closed. And I was like, You're there until we get to the hotel.

unknown

His name is John Cena.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, just like that. Just like that. Did you fall for the uh street photography trick?

SPEAKER_08

No, I'm I'm hip to it, dude. I'm hip to it.

SPEAKER_07

I had never seen so many scantily clad women trying to just take a picture with me as I had in Las Vegas.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, they're a lot of those. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

They were selling CDs in New York City. We went up there, and uh, guys, artists, whatever, would selling them on the side of the road. And uh he'd ask your name. He's like, hey man, what's your name? You tell him. He writes it on the CD and hands it to you and says five dollars. Yeah, people why am I reaching for my wallet? Hold on.

SPEAKER_08

Wait a minute. Yeah. People are creative, man. They're out there on that grind trying to make a dollar.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, you're out there on the free uh French quarter, you got a nice pair of boots on, you know somebody's gonna stop you wanting to clean them, you know what I mean? Yeah, oh yeah. People are on that hustle, man.

SPEAKER_08

You gotta you gotta respect it. Even if you don't uh even if you don't give them a dollar, you gotta respect they're out there trying to make it.

SPEAKER_06

I have, yeah. I have not seen uh anybody hustle like uh the people in Veracruz, Mexico, though. Veracruz, Mexico. Oh my god, yeah. Street performers like you wouldn't believe, you know, uh there's a red light, right? Here comes four guys on unicycles juggling and stuff across the intersection there. You gotta give them a dollar. Right, right. Pesos. You load them down with pesos.

SPEAKER_08

Because I can't do either of those things. I can't ride a unicycle or juggle.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, they they're uh they're on point.

SPEAKER_07

The ones you gotta watch out for are the ones in the big cities who do the window washing. Because you'll be like the third or fourth car deep, and those sons of guns will come out and like straight up just like wash your window, and you're like, I I'm I'm not paying you. Like they're just like looking at you like, is it just gonna bust my windshield? You're gonna get it from my lawyer, sir.

SPEAKER_05

There's a there was a guy, um, you know, I don't know if y'all seen in town Jasper, there's always a guy standing beside the car wash the entrance to the Home Depot.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Um, so I seen a guy with dread standing out there one day, and I was going to Chick-fil-A, and I bought him food and like literally brought it back through there, wrote the window down. I was like, hey man, you hungry? And he was like, not really. And I was like, I didn't know what to say. I just hand him the bag anyway. And he acted like he didn't want it. So the other day we were coming through there, there's a different guy. He's standing out there with a sign, and he's looking me and Britt right in the face. And we're just we're just kind of like through the window. Don't be looking and and he's shaking his head, like disappointed that we're not, you know. I'm like, man, I got I kind of got burned on the last one. You can call your buddy and tell him he's ruined that for everybody.

SPEAKER_07

Like, I remember when I was in college, we had gone up to Boston and we were handing out food to like the homeless people, just like on the streets and stuff. And um, I got cussed out by this random guy on the street because he was like, I want money or I don't want nothing. I was like, man, all I got is like a granola bar and a little pamphlet for this little church we were working with. And he's like, just string of expletives like give me give me a pack of smokes, give me, you know, no balls. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06

Hey, I'm just asking for a eight ball, two million dollars. Basically that, right?

SPEAKER_05

Oh baby belly. I gotta put some baby belly on this. Yeah, I've still gotta watch that.

SPEAKER_08

I need to watch it.

SPEAKER_07

You gotta watch it. So who brought beers? Well, we got Uncle Daddy. Okay, this week we are drinking uh Stout at the Devil by Straight to L.

SPEAKER_05

Stout at the Devil. We are familiar with this product a little bit here.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, I was trying to get everybody drunk this week.

SPEAKER_06

Very familiar with this product. I think I've had a couple a few, you know what I mean. Yeah, it happens to be one of my favorites.

SPEAKER_07

You know, it was just one of those things after the day I've had, and I was running around trying to make sure that I got here on time. Wanted to make sure we had a little something that was a little comfort beer for us.

SPEAKER_05

A little pleasantry. A little pleasantry. Ooh. God, I love the can. If you guys have never seen the can, it'll start at the double.

SPEAKER_07

But I think every can by straight to ale has a phenomenal uh can design.

SPEAKER_06

The velvet The Velvet Eagle.

SPEAKER_05

Good ones. That should be behind a paywall. It's dirty talk.

SPEAKER_08

Let's give it a try, Jim.

SPEAKER_05

Let's give it a shot.

SPEAKER_06

Man, that's good.

SPEAKER_07

I forgot how much I like that. It's a good one. More do it. It's a good one. Where's this one out of? Where they're gonna be. You know, their can doesn't say I know that they're in Alabama.

SPEAKER_08

Coat.

SPEAKER_07

They're out of Huntsville. Yeah, it's got some some stoutness to it. So I mean, this is week four. And so we've successfully covered Tuscaloosa. Yep. We went to Birmingham twice.

SPEAKER_05

Have we gotten any feedback on um Porch beers? Porch beer. No, I mean, like I said, garage beer.

SPEAKER_07

You know, I I tagged him in the post. I didn't hear anything back from though. So, you know.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Amazing. It's okay when we're all when when uh Joe Rogan asked us to be on the podcast. Just uh if you haven't talked to us by then, Porch Beer's He's calling right now. We're we're rescinding the offer. Um yeah, I like this one. It's good. I I've had it a few times, um and I've enjoyed it every time I had it, I think. Um that you remember.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. It is set, what, 7.8.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, I think this might be the only straight to L product I've had, though, to be honest. I'm trying to remember if I've had another one.

SPEAKER_07

I haven't. You you would definitely remember the can if you drank it out of a can, though.

SPEAKER_08

Mm-hmm.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

It's so good. Y'all prefer beer out of a can or a bottle, or what it what's y'all's preferred method?

SPEAKER_05

Ooh. I think a bottle for me. Like a glass bottle? Yeah, a glass bottle. Ice cold. Yeah. I think that's my preferred.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. I think I might like it out of a can. Can? Yeah. If I if I had my choice, you know. Um, I love the Michiladas. You know what I mean? And the chiladas. So uh in a in a ice cold glass, really. But yeah. Can't the way to go if you ain't got a glass later, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

We set we set a rule in the first episode where we talked about um we're gonna drink the beers in the container they come to us in. So, you know, there are some beers that do taste better out of a glass, but if you're just sitting at the house, most of the time I'm not gonna pour up a pint. You know what I mean? I'm cracking the can open and drinking it.

SPEAKER_07

Right. Yeah, my favorite way to drink a beer is out of whatever container it came in.

SPEAKER_06

I will squeeze lines. I will go above and beyond. You'll fancy up a can. I will fancy up a can. Lane's.

SPEAKER_05

Sterling, uh he will drink on box right beside him hot as the day is long. I can't do a hot beer now. Oh, yeah. He's like the the uh first one's always the coldest.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

That's right.

SPEAKER_07

He's like the drunker I get, the less I care.

SPEAKER_06

Well, that's true. I remember we were all like 18 one time, and we we went down to uh Panama City for spring break, and uh oh god, I can't tell you how many hot beers we drank.

SPEAKER_05

Didn't matter though, then sickening, you know. Yeah, it didn't matter so much. You were just oh, you could do anything. You were invincible. Yeah. We kind of talked a little bit about getting older on the last podcast. Um life has changed a little, you know.

unknown

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08

To me, to me, hot beers are worse than hot liquor. I'll drink, I'll drink vodka that's been in somebody's trunk in the middle of July before I'll drink a hot beer.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. I I would probably drink hot liquor first, realistically.

SPEAKER_08

A hot beer just don't do it for me.

SPEAKER_07

I don't think there's much of a contest there.

SPEAKER_06

I can have some hot liquor. I can do hot beer after I've had uh a couple cold ones pretty quick, you know. As long as I'm numb. If the head is already changing, I can tap into some warm ones, you know.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, I can't do it. I've got a buddy who doesn't care. Like, he'll uh I I was helping him move the other day. We both opened yinlings in a glass bottle. I finished mine before we got to moving. Like we sat down for a minute, we've been doing stuff for about an hour. We sit down for like five minutes. I finish mine because I'm like, oh, we're gonna go do something for another 45 minutes. He just leaves it out on his front porch. We move furniture, it's sitting directly in the sunlight. He comes back and just hammers it. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_07

But the thing you gotta remember is if you're not trying to waste alcohol. Oh, that's true. And it's hot, go ahead and finish it. Don't don't waste the time. Like, don't make it have any extra steps. Just finish that bad boy.

SPEAKER_08

You don't want to put it back in the fridge, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07

Like, just kill it.

SPEAKER_06

Rip it off like a band-aid. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

It's like when you pull some uh pull some meat out of the freezer. You can't refreeze it, you know.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, you can't?

SPEAKER_06

Oh, you ain't supposed to. Y'all made it my house, right? That's just a tradition.

SPEAKER_05

We always refreeze our five.

SPEAKER_08

We uh we were talking about you the other day at Rural King because you cooked them wings and you said you got the spice from Rural King, right? Where'd you get the spice from? Sons. Sons. See, we were talking about it, and I was like, Cody said he got that spice, but I was looking at the ones at Rural King, and none of them look like the ones you were talking about.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I was kind of uh a little late on time and right, and I was trying to get home and it was getting later, and and I usually don't like uh go or go for the name brand uh seasonings, you know. You you get those outsiders, those independent people, you know. Um and said perfect chicken. Perfect chicken. I was in a hurry. The clock was ticking. I said, we're gonna try perfect chicken, and it was by Dale's, you know. And uh wow, it was it was perfect chicken. They were some good wings. I I probably ate a dozen of them.

SPEAKER_05

It turned out to be pretty close to perfect.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, it's good. Yeah. So, Cod, I don't know how familiar you are, but the way we do things on this podcast is we have one of these delicious beers, and we give it a one to five rating, one to five bottle caps. Um and you don't have to care what our score is. Uh we definitely don't care what your score is, but um.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I'm pretty familiar.

SPEAKER_07

I watched the first episode, you know, and I did. I saw that we had one listen in New Orleans, Louisiana. I was like, Cod listened.

SPEAKER_06

Cod's listening. That was definitely me. If I had the time, I'd have listened to more. But um He's like, Yeah, I listen to it. I fell asleep. Yeah. So I'm gonna give this one uh a four. It's a four. Yeah. It's uh it's one of my favorite beers. I've I've drank it a lot, and uh it's definitely in uh the category of my favorite type of beer. I like uh the wintertime stuff, you know, the dark stuff, the brown eles, the uh stouts, porters.

SPEAKER_07

Would you believe that I picked this beer because I knew it was your favorite?

SPEAKER_05

Oh, did you know it was my favorite?

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Well, uh, I think I think we had this at Hard because you loved it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

I think originally, yeah. Yeah. I like it. Um, this is um it says oatmeal stout with coffee. And uh I'm getting both like uh uh I'm getting all those flavors. And and the best part about it, there's like no bitter. Uh it's good. And for being 7.8, which in my mind isn't like a super high ABV, but it's beer was you're getting up there, bro.

SPEAKER_06

It's up there. Well, let's put it in the realm of six-pack, right? So when you look at just one 7.8 beer, ain't big a change, but you know, if you think of it as in terms of uh a six-pack of them versus a six-pack of these English lights. But in in my mind, when I start thinking of that starts getting into domestic violence territory.

SPEAKER_09

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_08

You know, they're sitting in cop videos.

SPEAKER_04

They get called to a house. They're fighting like hell, the cops get here and they're crying. They're like, I just I just love her, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Or you know, it's a woman, you should like, yeah, you know, no, it's all me. I did it.

SPEAKER_05

Brittany was just watching something on that the other day. Uh, someone in Walker County did the um what's happening in Walker County, and supposedly her boyfriend beat her or something, and then someone called the cops, and the the actual sheriff's office was is pressing the charges, and she came on there like, why would y'all press charges on my baby daddy? Really?

SPEAKER_07

Really? The wildest thing to me is that somebody is running that page, right?

SPEAKER_05

They will let anything on it now.

SPEAKER_07

And they just and the thing is, you have to you have to comment in the name, yeah. Pick that and put it on the page. I'm like, this is no longer news. They're just letting it happen.

SPEAKER_05

Uh wait, why not? Let's see it all. I want to see it all. Yeah. Because then you know, we'll run out of things to talk about if they don't get the most stuff.

SPEAKER_07

We could literally do an episode, uh, we could probably do our entire series just off of that page. And never run out of stuff talking about it.

SPEAKER_05

We probably should at the end of every segment. Right. What's happening around us?

SPEAKER_07

We definitely should.

SPEAKER_05

Do tell.

SPEAKER_08

Wow. Definitely should.

SPEAKER_06

That's a great idea.

unknown

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

But being that this is a higher-ish ABV, uh, it's not super alcohol forward, you know, like it's not, it doesn't have a terrible taste. Uh I'm enjoying it. I'm um I'm gonna go. I think four is a good one. I think four is a good answer for it. Um I like it. It's pretty good.

SPEAKER_05

You should track that score. Um I'm going to say. I'm gonna say four and a half. Four or five. Four or five, that'd be bad. The reason being is there's absolutely no bitterness on the end of this style. No, it's delicious. There's nothing in it. Once you take one, you're like, I gotta continue this immediately, you know. Um, and for that, I'm gonna say four or five because I feel like I could drink this at any time. Hot, cold, whatever you want to do.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. Absolutely. And uh I do love this beer. It's very smooth, it's very enjoyable. But um, just in general, stouts are not my favorite beer. But um, I think I'm gonna have to agree with my good buddies right here, and we'll just uh we'll go four on this one. It's a good one. It's a good one. So average uh average four score? Heck yeah. Are we uh keeping up with these beers? So we are gonna go back and we're gonna do a list out, and when we hit 50 episodes, we want to release a t-shirt that'll have our first 50 beers on it with our rankings.

SPEAKER_06

Wow, I know someone who makes t-shirts.

SPEAKER_05

I love her. He does, in fact, love her.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. At least he says he does. I may or may not have uh purchased the t-shirt factory.

SPEAKER_08

Yes, he did. Did you uh did you purchase all of the uh small children that make the t-shirts?

SPEAKER_06

I purchase them every day, man.

SPEAKER_05

He just sees the money going out. He's like, all right, there's something coming in.

SPEAKER_08

Uh yeah, so MASH. Uh I think MASH ties into the uh the topic of last week really well. Do y'all do y'all uh feel like you have things you love in your life for no other reason than nostalgia? Like it's just purely nostalgia. I wanted to bring that up. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_05

Every time I watch a rerun of a movie.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. I wanted to bring that up last week because you know, we were talking about lunchroom food, right? Yeah. And so was the lunchroom food that good, or was it the fact that it took us back to a very simple time in our lives where we knew exactly what was going on and how much less stress we had than we do today?

SPEAKER_05

It was the it was the fact that they brainwashed us in loving school pizza.

SPEAKER_08

So Cody admitted that he hasn't listened to episode three at the time of this recording, so he is blind to this topic. Yes, he is. So to tie into last week's podcast, if you haven't listened, go listen. Um Cody, what was the best lunchroom food when you were in school? What was your favorite? Ugh. Apple pie or man, I don't know. That apple pie was good. Apple pie. Okay. Do you have an emotional connection to lunch room pizza?

SPEAKER_06

Uh that would have been my second go-to, but yes. I saw you start to say peas with your lips. I started to say if it wasn't app today compared to just any other pizza. Oh, I have, it's trash. Okay, so this is what we were doing. That's where we were going. Yeah, it was so great. Right.

SPEAKER_05

It's not so in your mind, you think it's so good because it takes you back. It takes you back to a place where things were simple, life was simple.

SPEAKER_07

Like, have y'all ever done that with like a video game, though? Like went back and played something.

SPEAKER_08

But I love them, but I love them all, man. I love all those old games. But that's the deal with MASH is I grew up with my dad and his best friend. I can't tell you how many weekends we spent in a shitty little apartment binge watching MASH. Klinger. Yeah, hearing hearing that theme song, you know, you can hear it. Um, I had never watched it as an adult, and my wife had never watched a single episode of it.

SPEAKER_06

And so I can't- Oh, we're watching MASH tonight.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah. I gave her I gave her two options. We can get divorced or we can watch MASH.

SPEAKER_06

Um Yeah, so we're gonna watch Mash or we're gonna watch Mash. What are you doing, sweetie? Are you making t-shirts?

SPEAKER_08

Uh so we put on an episode of Mash, and like I was over there like loving it. You know what I mean? Like, you know, those first few episodes he he boxes the dude and he's trying to put the stuff on his glove and he shove it in his face, go to sleep, go to sleep. Uh and uh it's just funny, it's good.

SPEAKER_05

It's kind of like Seinfeld for me. See, I never watched Seinfeld. Well, I would say two different eras, but realistically, Seinfeld was newer than MASH. Oh, yeah, for sure. When I was saying in our age, yeah. So no, Seinfeld was that for me because that was the only thing the rabbit ears could pick up.

SPEAKER_08

Oh, yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_05

But yeah, we loved watching it. And then when I watch when I see little flicks of it now, I'm like, and that does kind of take me back. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

It was funny because I was watching it and I was I was laughing because mash is good, regardless of what if you've ever watched it before, it's good. Um but she was enjoying it, she wasn't enjoying it to the same same extent I was. You know, like I'm I'm Did you have your MASH t-shirt on her? Oh, I don't have a mash t-shirt. I should have one though. That'd be cool. I know someone who can get you one. Uh he's throwing plugs. Shout out, good buddy of the show, Mason Boren.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Phenomenal guy.

SPEAKER_05

Absolutely. Yeah, miss that cat. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, he's a good dude, man. When uh when I first got into playing live music in Jasper, he was uh he was a big part of that, man. Really big part of that. He took a chance on a little stupid band called the Wet Pepper Towels and booked us pretty frequently and kind of gave us some footing as far as uh when we first started playing shows and uh was a big big supporter of live music and Jasper. Yes, he was. Shout out Mr. Mason board.

SPEAKER_05

Even if he had to lose money on entertainment, he would do it. Yeah. Yeah, I respect that a lot. Yeah, that's one of those news.

SPEAKER_06

Has anybody talked to him? What's he doing now?

SPEAKER_05

Uh he just came to visit. Uh seen him down at Tulula right before they closed. Um and talked to him, and he's he's flying planes, man. Yeah. He's it sounds like he's you know flying big old wear planes. He's doing uh I see him on Facebook and stuff all the time. And yeah.

SPEAKER_08

He's a good dude. Also a huge fan of Mash, which I I share with with him. The wet paper towels were playing a show at Twisted one time, and we started super early for some reason. We started at like 5 30. We started playing music and there's nobody there, right? People are just now getting off work. And he walks up to the stage and he's like, Hey, is there any chance y'all know uh Suicide is Painless, which is the MASH theme song? I know that's a really weird request, but is there any chance y'all know that? That's just one of my favorite songs. And if we didn't, but to this day, probably six or seven years later, it's still one of my favorite songs we play because it was something he asked us to learn, and it was it was like kind of one of the first requests that we got, and it didn't matter. Yeah, we could be playing a bunch of funk music or like crazy high energy music, and when Mason made eye contact, it's like, okay, guys, we're gonna completely kill the vibe and uh play the intro to to MASH real quick. Um, but it's just something like I got a ton of enjoyment.

SPEAKER_05

So you're saying I need to do the intro to MASH on our plugs here?

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, you should. You should. And people are gonna cry and laugh and have a great time. But yeah, if you should if you haven't watched Mash, you should.

SPEAKER_05

You know, the I've just seen a little bit here and there.

SPEAKER_06

It's been a long time, but we should all probably watch MASH.

SPEAKER_08

You know, the finale of it was like the highest grossing single episode of TV for like 30 or 40 something years. Yeah, it was because it was such a huge deal. And you have to think of like the cultural climate when MASH was coming out, like it was uh it was such a big statement. Um but MASH is cool. MASH is cool. I really enjoy it.

SPEAKER_05

Speaking of nostalgia, yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_07

I learned this the other day and it was mind-blowing. Because we all know that Chuck Norris is the greatest man who ever lived. Yeah. Yes. But did you know that Chuck Norris sang the intro song to Walker Texas Ranger? I had no Chuck Norris originally wanted Randy Travis to sing it, but the TV execs wouldn't approve it, so I guess he's like, screw it, I'll do it myself. The only person who can do it better than Randy Travis is me.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, Randy can't do it. Just think about it.

SPEAKER_05

I I was looking through, you know, getting into our game though. Um, we're gonna do the top ten uh best Chuck Norris jokes. And there's probably some better. This is just what I've researched. Um, and I tried to there's so many that you hear. So there's so many that's trying to find as many as I've never heard before. Yeah. So hopefully we got some good ones. So y'all are gonna, we're not gonna do a blind ranking this time, but we're just gonna rank them. And so, you know, one through ten and you lose your one, you know. Gotcha. Um I think one that I did see was uh Chuck Norris isn't dead. He just heard Bruce Lee was talking crap.

SPEAKER_08

He had to go whoop him. Uh I think the coolest thing about Chuck Norris is think about how cool of a guy you have to be to not only have someone like the best films ever, and be the coolest dude in action films ever. No question. And have y'all's generation make jokes about him. My generation make jokes about him, and younger generations making jokes about him. Like and not and not jokes about anything, purely jokes about how cool a dude is.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Like about him being the the men of all men, the a god.

SPEAKER_08

I mean, it's just insane. Think about how cool of a guy you have to be for that to be your legacy in.

SPEAKER_07

It's been kind of wild to me that I've seen a lot of people have actually been, I guess, complaining for lack of a better term, about um people making Chuck Norris jokes. And I'm like, how how would this in any way, how could you possibly find this offensive? Because we are literally honoring the man that shaped realistically the manhood of 30, 40, 50 million males in the United States right now?

SPEAKER_06

Single-handedly caused toxic masculinity.

SPEAKER_08

You know the craziest thing is have y'all watched The Expendables?

SPEAKER_05

But she says one of those, but y'all don't hear the expendables.

SPEAKER_08

Well, it's like the Expendable, the whole concept of the Expendables is that you have every bad action star in it. You know who is the feature bad dude in it? Chuck Norris. He saves everybody's life for like a five-minute clip in the movie. You know what I mean? You've got you've got Sylvester Stallone.

SPEAKER_05

He said in the movie, um, I heard you died, got bit by a snake or however it was. He was like, Yeah, and after five excruciating days, the snake died.

SPEAKER_06

Exactly, dude. He's just a bad dude. I uh so in 2017 I was working at this uh uh power plant in uh Kentucky. Oh the name of the place was uh Paradise, which is very ironic because it's the furtherest thing from paradise. There were some cool things about it. Uh when you're walking in, the parking lot is like off-site parking or whatever, you got it. It's a pretty good long walk. But deer would would come up in uh 30, 40 feet from you, you know, and they weren't scared of you. So that that part I get you know why they would call the pay place paradise, but it was it was kind of hell to work work at. But uh anyway, while we were walking in one day, they had this big banner, this picture of Chuck Norris doing this fucking, you know, pose, you know, and it said uh Chuck Norris doesn't wear safety glasses. His eyes absorb debris and instantly heal themselves. You're not Chuck Norris. Wear your safety glasses.

SPEAKER_08

And you know what? You put your safety glasses on, didn't you? K-Dog. What kind of jokes you got for us? All right, we got some jokes. I'm excited about this.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, explain to me how this ranking system is gonna work here. We're just gonna go, we're gonna start. I mean, I guess like we did last time, um, one through ten.

SPEAKER_08

And after we use it, all three of us have to decide, right? Yes. Okay, gotcha.

SPEAKER_07

We're gonna create one list this time.

SPEAKER_08

All right, cool. I'm ready. Let's see. All right. You can't laugh while you're reading the joke, Mantra.

SPEAKER_05

You're real bad at this game. I'm really good at editing, so I'm not worried about it whatsoever. This is gonna be good. Um Chuck Norris never has sex on his back. He never screws up. Okay.

SPEAKER_08

So it's one through ten. Man, that one's a good one. Where do you put that one?

SPEAKER_07

Uh it's pretty good, but there's no way that K Dog's got like a top five.

SPEAKER_08

I feel like they're just gonna get better and better as we go.

SPEAKER_07

That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_08

Like, that's what we're gonna do. But that one's funny. So do we have to rank it right now?

SPEAKER_05

So we're going from ten, right? Yeah. This is number whatever your number ten is.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah. So we all have to decide together. My instinct is like seven. That was the same number that I had. Cod, what do you think? I was thinking seven for a second, but something's you think it's better or you think it's gonna be lower down the list?

SPEAKER_06

I think it's I think it's probably one of the better ones. I would put it top five, probably, but like on the high end. Maybe like four.

unknown

I don't know.

SPEAKER_08

So we can compromise here. If you want to take like an average, we'd go six. Let's go six on that one. Cool. I think it's gonna be a pretty good one. This is how compromise works, people.

SPEAKER_05

First question. All right. Number two. Chuck Norris actually died years ago. Death was just too afraid to tell him.

SPEAKER_08

I've seen that one and I like it a lot because it's it's a funny one. Um I don't know though, because it's kind of straightforward.

SPEAKER_07

I like the I like the more that one comes in a little weak to me. That one that one might arguably be the number 10 spot, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_08

But here's the deal. Are we going to we can't include some recency bias though. Because there's a lot of good ones that were made before he passed away, right? So if we give all the top ones to ones about him passing away, there's some recency bias there. Uh you know what I mean? Strictly up to you guys. I my I don't think it's the number ten. We've already used number seven. Use number six. I would say eight.

SPEAKER_07

I'll go eight. I'm compromising eight. Eight? Okay. Alright.

SPEAKER_05

Are you ready for the third? This one's a little longer. Chuck Norris once had sex with all the nuns in an abbey tucked away in the Tuscan Hills, Italy. Nine months later, the nuns gave birth to the 1972 Miami Dolphins. The only undefeated. Only undefeated team in history of NFL.

SPEAKER_08

I really, really like that that's a two-part joke. And for me, it ties in some ball knowledge. I really, really like that. I'm comfortable putting that anywhere from three to one. Yeah. Y'all decide. That one's really three right off the rip.

SPEAKER_06

That was really good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

That one's really good, though. I like that a lot.

SPEAKER_05

I was trying to hold it together.

SPEAKER_06

As a Tide fan, you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

When Chuck Norris was little, he stood on a skateboard and pushed off. With his foot. We now have night and day.

SPEAKER_08

Oh wow. I like that one. It's not as good as the Miami Dolphins one. No. I think we go seven. Seven's my guess with that one.

SPEAKER_06

What do you think, Lee?

SPEAKER_07

I'm getting a little nervous here because we're kind of loading up the back end here.

SPEAKER_06

Like all the all the shit's gonna come flying out later.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, and I'm like, uh they can't be that bad because of Chuck Norris joke. But at the same time, I'm like, that that one is definitely on the weaker end for me.

SPEAKER_05

I personally think they're all relatively good. Um they're all Chuck Norris jokes. They're all good. But some you you know you just hear all the time.

SPEAKER_07

Chuck would not allow a bad joke about himself. That might be number one.

SPEAKER_05

What's Chuck Norris knocking on my door?

SPEAKER_07

So what's our back end look like right now, Kato?

SPEAKER_05

Um The first joke was number six, the second joke was number eight, and y'all threw the third joke about the nuns on number three.

SPEAKER_08

So we have we've used six, eight, and three. Yes.

SPEAKER_07

Why are you holding four fingers up?

SPEAKER_08

Six, eight. These two fingers don't work independently. Them samen born out of the house.

SPEAKER_09

I love them.

SPEAKER_08

These two fingers don't work independently, unfortunately. Um six, eight, and three.

SPEAKER_07

We gotta put something at ten, boys. I hate to hate to break.

SPEAKER_08

I'm gonna go ten. I got you. I agree.

SPEAKER_06

I'll go ten on it.

SPEAKER_05

All right, number ten. Number five. Chuck Norris was born May 6, 1945. The Nazis surrendered May 7th, 1945.

SPEAKER_07

Coincidence? I think not.

SPEAKER_08

I like that one a lot.

SPEAKER_05

Uh I'm gonna fact check this because he was born 1940. But the joke was hilarious.

SPEAKER_08

No. There's no he can be born in two days. Yeah, yeah. Chuck Norris is born when he wants to be born. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And that takes the number two. Uh I'm gonna go number four for me. I think four. I was thinking four. Yeah. Because that one's really good. I don't think it's as good as the nuns, though. Right. We might be pissed off that we didn't take the nuns number one.

SPEAKER_07

That's a good joke. That was a great joke. You should have seen the look on his face when we did blind ranking celebrity name changes.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah. I took Charlie Sheen. Did you know Charlie Sheen's name wasn't his real name?

SPEAKER_06

Yep. I didn't.

unknown

Yep.

SPEAKER_06

I don't I can't remember what his name was, but I know it's not Charlie Sheen. Uh I can't remember. Estevez.

SPEAKER_07

His last name is Estevez because him and Amelia were brothers.

unknown

Right.

SPEAKER_05

All right, ready to continue? We're ready. Number six. A cop once pulled Chuck Norris over. After an hour of trying to talk his way out of it, Chuck Norris finally let the cop go with a warning.

SPEAKER_08

I like that one. I've heard that one before. Uh what do we have available? So we've used three and four.

SPEAKER_06

Six and three, four, six, eight, and ten.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, so we got one, two, five, seven, nine. I'm gonna go nine on that one.

SPEAKER_08

I like it. It's a good joke. I've just heard it before. Right. Y'all feeling the same way?

SPEAKER_07

I'm fine with it. I've heard several of these jokes.

SPEAKER_08

We're gonna throw up a poll on the Facebook of your favorite Chuck Norris joke. If it's not listed here, add it in the comments.

SPEAKER_05

For sure. All right. Number seven. When Chuck Norris looks in a mirror, the mirror shatters. Because not even glass is dumb enough to get in between Chuck Norris and Chuck Norris.

SPEAKER_08

I like that one. Uh I'm gonna go five. Yeah. Five. I think after this is done, if your favorite Chuck Norris joke hasn't been said yet, you have to say your favorite Chuck Norris joke.

SPEAKER_05

All right. Number eight. There used to be a brand of toilet paper named after Chuck Norris. It was rated the worst toilet paper ever because it wouldn't take crap off nobody.

SPEAKER_07

See, I'm torn because this is a great joke. It's a fantastic joke. Growing up, we always called it John Wayne toilet paper. Right. It's rough, it's tough, it don't take crap off nobody. I've never heard that one before. Really? No. That is a phenomenal joke, though. So I would I would probably feel comfortable putting that one towards the top.

SPEAKER_08

So we've got one, two. That's it, right? We just got one and two. It's gotta go two. I'm holding out. The last one's the best one. Don't feel me, Kieran. You're holding out. I'm holding out. What do you think? What numbers we got left? One and two. That's it? That's it. Yeah, two. Going two. The number two joke, going number two. K Dog's playing the game, so we apologize for no sound effects. All right.

SPEAKER_05

Last joke. Might have an honorable mention. Okay. That we won't rate. Chuck Norris was once convicted of multiple felonies. After spending 10 long years in prison, the judge finally got out.

SPEAKER_08

That's our number one. It has to go number one. I like it. What's the honorable mention?

SPEAKER_05

The honorable mention? When Chuck Norris attends a feminist rally, he comes back with his t-shirt ironed and a sandwich.

SPEAKER_01

That's number one. That should have been number one.

SPEAKER_08

Nuns, nuns should have gone number one. Yes. That one was funny. I'm going to steal that one. I'm going to steal that one. We need to do this again, but with your mama jokes.

SPEAKER_06

Because I was so ingrained in uh college football. I was crossing wires up. I was like, damn, you know, we Miami was bad back in the day. You know, Alabama had some had some uh trouble with them. I got a buddy named Mike Pico. Caitlin knows Pico. He's uh he's a big Miami fan. Huge. Yes, he is. How's old Pico doing? I haven't talked to him in a while. But uh I'm sure he ain't changed that.

SPEAKER_05

That's it, guys. That's that is the jokes. Um Heck yeah, I like it. One through ten. Y'all rated the judge joke number one, all accidentally, like.

SPEAKER_08

I think the nine should have gone number one. I think that one's the best one. It was the best one.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Well, sports guys.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah. My favorite Chuck Norris joke is that when Chuck Norris does does push-ups, he doesn't push his body up, he pushes the earth down.

SPEAKER_05

I was gonna put that one in there, but I've heard it so I've heard it. And for the listeners, I didn't want to be like, oh, I've heard that a million times. I tried to pick some that you just don't ever hear.

SPEAKER_07

And I think that's one of the things that's it's tough with it, is like the funniest of Chuck Norris' jokes got beat into the ground so much when they got popular when I was in high school that Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, I mean I like them, man. Chuck Norris jokes, Yo Mama jokes. I think people need to make more Yo Mama jokes. That's when the that's where the world went wrong. We quit making Yo Mama jokes.

SPEAKER_06

Michael Jackson jokes are good.

SPEAKER_07

I mean, I think the world went wrong when we started moderating the Xbox 360 chat. Hey, y'all are I agree.

SPEAKER_08

Y'all are big, uh y'all are big Call of Duty guys, right?

SPEAKER_05

Well, we used to be uh after being kicked off line several times for may or may not say this and that.

SPEAKER_08

The age gap between us means that when y'all were big into Call of Duty, I was the like non-ten-year-old kid in the lobby.

SPEAKER_05

You were the one shooting me in the face and telling me you were gonna sit on my grandmother's head. Black Ops.

SPEAKER_07

I hate to break it to you, Braden, but we were probably playing Call of Duty when you were still making your pants.

SPEAKER_04

My dad beat up your dad. No.

SPEAKER_08

I started I started playing at uh World of War. Okay. World at War was like But that was the first main online one.

SPEAKER_07

Oh man, we've been kept playing Call of Duty for a long time before that happened, though.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah. World at War was the first one I played. But I was always big into zombies. I always liked the zombies maps. Those are the those are the fun ones for me.

SPEAKER_05

So uh if our listeners heard our jokes, um we'd like for you guys to go on there and guess which one of those I wrote. Oh, you wrote one as a surprise. And I can't give it away.

SPEAKER_08

Oh, don't tell us.

SPEAKER_05

Because our listeners need to guess.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, don't tell us to get to reveal it next week on the podcast. We won't know either, guys.

SPEAKER_07

We'll just go in and just go in and take credit for whichever one gets the best rating.

SPEAKER_08

I saw that one on Reddit three years ago.

SPEAKER_05

Hey guys, thank you all so much for listening to another episode of the Trip to the Beer Store. Our music is brought to you by David Brown, my brother. Uh, he created the song for us for the show. We hope you enjoyed the song, and we hope you enjoyed the show. Thank you, guys.
