Ep:5 Heists, Horsepower, and Hops

This episode? Yeah… it’s a little unhinged—in the best way.

We kick things off diving into some of the strangest heists you’ve ever heard—like the kind that make you question whether people are geniuses… or just completely out of their minds. Then we shift gears (literally) and talk about our new Harleys—the rides, the feeling, and why there’s nothing quite like the freedom of two wheels and bad decisions waiting to happen.

Of course, we couldn’t do an episode without cracking open a new beer, so we give our honest, probably slightly biased review while the conversation slowly spirals. And just when you think we’ve lost all structure, we pull it back together with a March Madness-style game—because nothing says chaos like competition mixed with questionable judgment.

It’s weird, it’s fun, it’s a little reckless… and somehow it all makes sense by the end.

Or maybe it doesn’t. Either way, you’re coming along for the ride.

Transcript

SPEAKER_07 0:13

Trip to the pistol. On the trip to the pistol. We gotta have a situation on the trip to the pistol. I had a revelation. Trip to the pistol.

SPEAKER_08 0:34

Cracking me a couple of kids. Cracking it over the kids, cracking with the money with the kid with it.

SPEAKER_04 0:50

And we're lying. Alright, so pictures. Turin, March 2026. A young man with a dream in a very large truck is looking for a break. He finds 12 tons of Formula One Kit Cats. A goat is watching. The air smells of chocolate and grand larceny. Have you boys heard about the great Turin heist of 2026?

SPEAKER_03 1:24

This is not this is not inside my wealth of knowledge.

SPEAKER_04 1:29

So apparently Kit Kat had designed all of these F1 shaped uh bars.

SPEAKER_03 1:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:40

And they were they were for the I guess for the races or whatever. And this group of guys dressed up like cops and stole twelve tons of Kit Kats. That's a whole truck.

SPEAKER_03 1:59

Twelve tons of Kit Kats.

SPEAKER_05 2:02

Give me a break.

SPEAKER_03 2:03

Heck yeah. As someone who loves Kit Kats, have y'all seen the memes where it's like somebody driving down the interstate and it's like a Dr. Pepper truck and it's like, Lord, if you real tip that thing over.

SPEAKER_02 2:14

Have y'all seen those memes? That would be me if I saw the Kit Kat truck.

SPEAKER_05 2:17

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_04 2:18

It was absolutely why I don't even like Kit Kats, but the fact that you know I could get 12 tons of them.

SPEAKER_05 2:24

You know, Kit Kats are definitely not my favorite. I'm a I'm a payday.

SPEAKER_06 2:29

I'm a payday someday.

SPEAKER_03 2:32

If how long do you think it would take you to eat 12? That's a that's like an 18-wheeler full of them. What are you gonna do?

SPEAKER_04 2:40

That's my only guess. But like but they're limited edition, right? Like but still like they are shaped like Formula One cars. Right.

SPEAKER_05 2:53

But do you mean to sell them? I mean, you're never gonna be able to get rid of them.

SPEAKER_04 2:58

Well, it's one of those weird things. I don't think we'll run into like a Coca-Cola situation where you like, do you see guy on the corner right now is like buying a watch?

SPEAKER_05 3:07

He's like, hey, you wanna keep out of chocolate bar?

SPEAKER_04 3:10

Like, do you remember like in the early 90s, though, Coca-Cola made Alabama, they made NASCAR, they made Auburn, they made all this stuff. And I don't think you're gonna run into a situation there where um, you know, you've got all of this merchandise that you can't move. Right. But I do think that you'll run into a real possibility here where it becomes like a very cult collector's item. Yeah. Especially since they stole half the inventory.

SPEAKER_05 3:37

What did they do? Uh what was that heist uh in Europe, the big heist where it was like midday and they were acting as workers?

SPEAKER_04 3:45

Oh, that was the one in um that was the one in France. France, yeah, yeah. So they broke into the Louvre midday. Midday. Like they were. They were all dressed up as construction workers doing work in the area. And they just let it happen. And the wild part about that is like from a scientific perspective, you can't sell those jewels for what they're worth.

SPEAKER_05 4:13

Right. That's what I'm saying. Like, it's hard to be a thief on that scale. There's gotta be like some crazy black market, something that you would never know about.

SPEAKER_04 4:23

Like, I mean, that has to be a pride thing, right? Like, I broke into the loot. Yeah, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Stole the princess diamonds or you know, whatever it might be. Call back to Cody Ward. The Clintons will buy it.

SPEAKER_05 4:37

The Clintons were involved.

SPEAKER_04 4:39

But it's like regardless of like who it is, you're only buying that for pennies on the dollar. You are literally risking the rest of your life in jail. Yeah, but I think he's on the dollar for a jewel.

SPEAKER_03 4:50

But at that point, it's worth so much money, even for pennies on the dollar, you're still making so much money.

SPEAKER_05 4:55

Yeah. I don't know. There's there's things we don't know. It's the Clintons.

SPEAKER_04 5:01

Well, I mean, and it's tough, right? But did you guys see that I posted about the inaugural chocolate pine wood derby race hosted by a trip to the beer store?

SPEAKER_03 5:17

I like that. And I I appreciate because I know this is something that upsets you, I appreciate that you said inaugural, not annual.

SPEAKER_05 5:23

I'm not he's he's big on that.

SPEAKER_03 5:25

Like you can't it pisses him off bad.

SPEAKER_04 5:27

Like I've got through like three pet peeves in the world.

SPEAKER_05 5:32

And that's three of them.

SPEAKER_04 5:33

Yeah. It's like you cannot have a first annual. Yeah, like at the end of the day, right? You can't have a first annual because it's never happened before. There's no guarantee that it's gonna happen next year. Right. So it's inaugural. The second the second pet peeve I have is when people start multiple rolls of toilet paper.

SPEAKER_02 5:54

People do that?

SPEAKER_04 5:55

Yeah, like I'll go, I'll be over at like my mom's house, like during the holidays or something. And I'll go into the bathroom, and like she just keeps this like big basket full of toilet paper next to the next to the toilet. And I'll reach over and there's like six rolls started, and I'm like about to fight everyone trying to figure out like who's who did this.

SPEAKER_02 6:15

So you've done the you start a seventh just to feel just to feel right at home.

SPEAKER_04 6:20

No, I will not. Like one of those usual. I tell her all the time, and when Charmin came out with the damn waved toilet paper, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 6:31

Have you have you guys seen the Yeah, that's the dumbest shit I've ever seen. It's like ruffled, but what the fuck?

SPEAKER_05 6:37

No, it's like you got ruffled toilet paper. You can dip it better.

SPEAKER_04 6:42

But that like that was a like point of contention. I don't know if I'll ever buy Charmin again as long as they sell the.

SPEAKER_05 6:49

I don't know your mother, but I feel like she would have she's like very kind. Is your mother very kind?

SPEAKER_04 6:55

My mother is probably one of the nicest people you ever meet in your entire life. And I'm like, mom, please stop buying Charmin.

SPEAKER_08 7:01

I'm just gonna she's like, oh Laney, Laney, it's okay.

SPEAKER_05 7:05

Just keep the toilet paper in there for you, bum.

SPEAKER_03 7:08

Just just because you brought it up, uh, and I feel that we have a lot of gentlemen who listen to this podcast that may take this information to heart and permanently change their lives. Um about two years ago, my household fully switched over to the dude wipes. And we used like fully, fully? We have toilet paper in the house.

SPEAKER_05 7:30

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_03 7:31

But it's like 90% dude wipes, man. But how do you use it?

SPEAKER_05 7:37

So, like realistic. No, I mean, no, no, because I feel like with dude wipes, you don't wipe up with dude wipes and then just walk down the street all wet ass jeked up. But no, like alcohol based, you gotta hit a dry, right?

SPEAKER_03 7:51

It depends. It depends. Look, I don't know. We talked about this on the first podcast. I spend a lot of time on Facebook.

SPEAKER_04 7:58

So are are they alcohol-based? I don't think so. Well, like something's gotta dry that out because otherwise you just walk around with swamp ass all day.

SPEAKER_05 8:06

Right, we do the same thing. You gotta hit a dry rub out.

SPEAKER_03 8:09

I don't think I've ever walked around soggy cheeked up, man.

SPEAKER_05 8:12

So I well, maybe you got the good stuff.

SPEAKER_03 8:14

Maybe no, I think it what I think it is personally, is that I handle my business, and from the time I'm done with the event, I'm gonna sit there for another 10 minutes. You know, so it air dries. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 8:29

Because I gotta I gotta truly figured out.

SPEAKER_02 8:31

Yeah, I gotta answer all the lowballs who tell no to me on Facebook.

SPEAKER_04 8:36

What do you mean said no to you? Like, I mean, do they respond? Because anytime I love somebody, they just block me.

SPEAKER_03 8:42

No, I think this is what we've learned this week is that everybody else who loves lowballs people on Facebook gets told to leave, they just say yes to me.

SPEAKER_05 8:52

Yeah, we don't understand why.

SPEAKER_04 8:54

Yeah, but you know, you brought up a valid point earlier talking about the dude wipes versus toilet paper. Like where do you guys sit on bidets?

SPEAKER_03 9:00

I've never used one.

SPEAKER_05 9:02

Yeah, and me either.

SPEAKER_03 9:03

I will say everybody I do know who has used one has sw has sworn off toilet paper permanently.

SPEAKER_05 9:09

So but still again, do you just you know what you're gonna do?

SPEAKER_04 9:13

You gotta dry wipe a bidet.

SPEAKER_03 9:15

No, I think it's the same principle. I think you gotta sit and wait, wait it out. Or if you're a normal just let it air dry, man.

SPEAKER_05 9:22

Your legs are numbed.

SPEAKER_03 9:24

It is what it is, you know.

SPEAKER_04 9:26

Or if you're a you're a normal person, you just you know, dry wipe once. Or well, I guess it's wet wipes in this case.

SPEAKER_03 9:32

I think y'all need to slow down. Y'all need to slow down stuff to do and enjoy your you time, okay? Enjoying weight, especially for for me and K Dog, we're both married. You know, I love my wife, and she's gonna listen to this and be mad at me. Some of my like nice relaxing time, not that I don't want to spend time with my wife, but my like 25-minute shits, I may shit for five minutes, but the rest of it is like he's doing business.

SPEAKER_04 10:01

Yeah, basically, what I'm hearing is the rest of us have stuff to do, and Braden's trying to hide from his wife.

SPEAKER_05 10:08

He's like, uh, I'm in a meeting.

SPEAKER_03 10:10

I have very important business to attend to.

SPEAKER_05 10:12

Stop knocking on the door, I'm in a meeting.

SPEAKER_03 10:14

Yeah, she thinks I've had diarrhea for 10 years.

SPEAKER_05 10:17

Yeah, you're just talking people out of their crap.

SPEAKER_03 10:21

Maybe, maybe it's a numbers game. That's why people accept my lowballs, is because I spend way more time lowballing people than y'all do.

SPEAKER_04 10:28

That's really 67 messages to your every single one. Yeah, it's a numbers game.

SPEAKER_03 10:34

You're a sales guy, you should know that. It's a numbers game.

SPEAKER_05 10:37

You know, I'm gonna have to sell more flooring on the shutter.

SPEAKER_03 10:40

Yeah, yeah. No, I agree with you. If you're not taking sales calls, go into their house.

SPEAKER_05 10:44

I'm like, I need to use your bathroom. Come talk to me through the door.

SPEAKER_03 10:47

Yeah, if you don't mind, your floor is really bad at one second. Oh, yeah, but your floor is terrible in here. This needs to be redone. What uh what beers we got this week?

SPEAKER_04 10:56

This week.

SPEAKER_03 10:57

What's going on?

SPEAKER_04 10:58

Man, because you know, we rolled up there to uh I think they call it the last chance. Is that is that what they big sign we walked under coming in?

SPEAKER_03 11:08

You got me. I have no clue. It's up past Brown's.

SPEAKER_04 11:12

Yeah, so we we stopped at um, I'm pretty sure it's like a maybe a chevron or used to be a chevron, but it's like a last chance. And it's the last gas station on 195. 195.

SPEAKER_05 11:26

Oh, that's where Littlefoot works.

SPEAKER_04 11:28

Shout out Littlefoot.

SPEAKER_05 11:29

Yeah, uh the chevron's right there, and then the next one behind it.

SPEAKER_04 11:32

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's spirit or whatever it is then behind there.

SPEAKER_05 11:35

Justin's way.

SPEAKER_04 11:36

Yeah. Yeah. So we ran up there today and decided we wanted to.

SPEAKER_05 11:40

Shout out Justin Littlefoot.

SPEAKER_04 11:42

We decided we wanted to try something new. But the problem was as soon as I saw these, and I've been talking about them a lot lately, I was like, it's time to introduce them to you guys. Well, introduce away, buddy. I'm excited about it.

SPEAKER_03 11:57

It's got a really cool looking candle.

SPEAKER_04 11:59

Come on down. So this is the tangerine blonde by Telluride. It's an ale with tangerine, orange, and mango.

SPEAKER_05 12:11

Oh, look, it comes with a little Benadryl in case you're allergic to tangerine.

SPEAKER_04 12:16

And so these guys are made out of uh Birmingham.

SPEAKER_03 12:21

Heck yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:23

And I'm also pretty sure that these guys are in a similar situation to our boys over at Porch Brewing, and they're packaged and bottled by good people. Yep. But they brew it themselves.

SPEAKER_03 12:37

That's what it's saying right here. It's saying brewed and packaged by good people brewing co. Birmingham, Alabama.

SPEAKER_04 12:45

But I'll tell you right now, I've had this beer before, and it absolutely wowed me. So I'm gonna be a little biased.

SPEAKER_05 12:55

What's up?

unknown 12:57

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:59

Oh, just the smell on it.

SPEAKER_01 13:03

Oh, spicy.

SPEAKER_05 13:05

That smells that is very fruity. That's got a very, very fruity smell.

SPEAKER_04 13:10

Oh, the fruit is very forward on the smell. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 13:12

Well, I'm gonna go ahead and hope to God it tastes like it smells.

SPEAKER_03 13:15

I'm gonna I'm gonna get into it. Let's do it.

SPEAKER_05 13:20

That's real good. At first taste, it's like refreshing.

SPEAKER_03 13:23

Then you get a little peel. Yeah. That's exactly what I was about to say. The aftertaste is like a tangerine, like the peel.

SPEAKER_05 13:31

The peel. But not too bitter of the peel, but you do taste that little peel.

SPEAKER_03 13:36

And I like that a little bit, I think.

SPEAKER_04 13:37

I am a little bit of like that bitter flavor. Yeah. But the thing you also have to remember is we've left these beers sitting out for like an hour and a half since we came back.

SPEAKER_05 13:47

The reason being is we had some friends come up.

SPEAKER_04 13:50

We did.

SPEAKER_05 13:51

And we'll never complain about that.

SPEAKER_04 13:52

So you know, that's not a complaint there, but I'm telling you that, you know, for our listeners, these beers have been sitting out like an hour and a half. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 14:00

And this is, you know, bad for a uh what do you what would you say? A cold. I mean, it's it's coldish. It's cold dish.

SPEAKER_04 14:08

It's slightly above room temperature. Maybe a little more.

SPEAKER_03 14:12

What the way I would describe this temperature is you get a beer out of the cooler, but somebody pushes you into the pool.

SPEAKER_05 14:18

And then it cools. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:20

Yeah, it sits in the sun for a little while, and then you get out of the pool and you're like, oh shit, I got a beer, I forgot. Um, that's the temperature we're at.

SPEAKER_05 14:27

ABV, 5.2%. I'm pretty happy with it. Yeah. I don't think it's bad at all. Take another sip here. Really hits you when you're not paying attention.

SPEAKER_03 14:45

I like it. It's pretty good. It is good. I'm trying to keep in mind it is not a sour, it's an ale.

SPEAKER_04 14:52

Um much like our neon moons we tried in episode one. This is not a true sour. You're not getting the uh very acidic back end flavor.

SPEAKER_03 15:02

Yeah. I like it. Um I'm thinking. Number one, uh we haven't really talked about this, but um something that I thought about as soon as we picked this beer because this is the first joint-picked beer on the show.

SPEAKER_05 15:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:28

Um Lane has picked two. I have picked one. We went together to pick this one.

SPEAKER_04 15:34

Well, how did we get the fourth one then?

SPEAKER_03 15:37

This is the fourth one, isn't it?

SPEAKER_04 15:38

This is the fifth one, brother.

SPEAKER_03 15:40

This is the fifth one. Hey, this is episode five. On the fourth one, I drank a couple of few beers. You know what I mean? Um But anyway, I think at this point we've all picked one, and um this one we went and picked together, and the thing I will say is we were looking at beers, and as soon as Lane saw the can, he was like, Oh, that's what we're drinking. Yeah. Um, so it has a really cool looking can. I like the can a lot.

SPEAKER_05 16:02

So let me give you a little background. It reminds me of Karate Kid's headband.

SPEAKER_03 16:06

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 16:07

Yeah. So I was over at Jake's the other day, as I do every Thursday.

SPEAKER_03 16:12

Shout out, Jake's.

SPEAKER_04 16:14

Shut up. If you haven't eaten at Jakes on Forth, why are you wasting your time with all of these mediocre places around Jasper? Just go down there and get the phenomenal food. Please stop making us tell you about this. It's a good what did I oh I had the grit is so cold. I had the grit cakes. Was it shrimp and grit cakes you had the other day with?

SPEAKER_03 16:34

Oh, shrimp, shrimp and gator grit cakes. Yes. Um, and we talked about this last week, how much I love New Orleans. I went up to Jake after we finished eating and was like, I'm not, I'm not trying to inflate your ego whatsoever. God knows his head's big enough. Yeah, that those are those are the best grit cakes I've ever had in my entire life. Ooh, that's something coming from a chef. Yeah, I told him that, and it was genuinely phenomenal. You uh one of y'all had a bite of it. I don't was it you?

SPEAKER_04 17:02

Uh I've had it before. I didn't know Britney Brittany did him.

SPEAKER_03 17:05

Yeah, Britney had a bite, and she thought it was really good too. But yeah, if you hadn't gone down there, I'm sure we sound like a broken record, but it's just because we really like the guy.

SPEAKER_05 17:13

No, it's really good.

SPEAKER_04 17:13

Like great environment. Like the thing is, I've known Jake since we were in the third grade. Like, I mean, it's the end of the Just wee lights.

SPEAKER_03 17:20

Just we little baby.

SPEAKER_04 17:22

You know, I don't want to throw shade at anybody and Jasper. But when I go somewhere shame. Yeah, oh, we we will bring out the bell and shame you if you deserve it. Um, but I've known Jake since we were kids. And every time I go in there, he treats me like a brother. He comes out, he says hello to me, he treats me like I'm a member of the family. And can't beat that. Jasper is too small of a town not to respect everybody the same way in town. And we've been some places together where we didn't get that same treatment.

SPEAKER_05 17:54

Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 17:55

And so I mean, that's where it falls for me. Yep. But I was in there having lunch the other day, and they had this on tap. And as good as this is out of a can, an hour and a half after we pulled it out of the cooler, it goes back to try that on tap.

SPEAKER_05 18:14

It goes back to what I was saying is their beer is very cold. And I have not had beer that cold since we were open at par.

SPEAKER_04 18:24

I mean, the only nitro tap in Jasper that I know of for some Guinness.

SPEAKER_05 18:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:29

And y'all know how I feel about a Guinness. Yeah. Y'all know about it. Because it was on my top five. It was on my top five. Love Guinness. But talking about Taylor Ride, the um Tangerine Blonde, this is kind of right up my alley. This is the kind of beer I like to drink. I feel like I can sit and drink on these all night. Um, and I think the highest I have gone has been a four-five.

SPEAKER_04 18:57

No, it's been a four five UK porridge.

SPEAKER_03 19:00

That is right. That is right. Um I I don't think I'm gonna go quite a five on this one. But I think this is a really strong four five. Like, um, the only thing I think that keeps it from being a five, if this was like fresh out of a cooler on ice, I really think it would be a five.

SPEAKER_04 19:22

But the thing is, you also have to blame us for that.

SPEAKER_03 19:24

Yeah, no, it's totally our fault. Um, but one thing I will say is the porch beer sat out for probably just as long.

SPEAKER_05 19:31

And you yeah, that was a no.

SPEAKER_03 19:33

And we were we were drinking those through the whole podcast. So they're a drainer, yeah. Yeah, so I'm I really like it, and it's probably the type of beer this is. You know, you can drink a light beer no matter what temperature it is. Um, but I'm gonna go four or five on this one. I really like it. I'm going to drink the rest of these um with no complaints whatsoever.

SPEAKER_05 19:56

All right.

SPEAKER_03 19:57

Yeah, but I'm gonna go four or five. Really great beer. I think if you like beer and you like a uh slightly fruity citrus for ordered beer, you're really gonna like it.

SPEAKER_05 20:08

I, however, am going to go with a four. This is not my regular type of beer. I don't really like the fruity, fruity beers. Um that being said, among the fruity beers I've tried, this is one of the better ones. Because there's no and and you know how I am, I always look for that bitter taste. Can't stand it. Um you don't get that with this. So I'm gonna do a solid four. Um I think that is a very, very good beer. And that's it's hard for me to give a fruity beer a four. But I will absolutely give this one a solid, rock hard forward. Rock hard even.

SPEAKER_03 20:53

And that's a lot.

SPEAKER_04 20:55

So two's a lot. Um four's plenty. So initial thoughts on this beer, right? Well, we have a very fruit forward beer. We do get a little bit of that rind taste in it on the back end, which I like, which is a very different flavor, though. It is than a true hops bitter. Like we're getting a bitter from a rind, like you everybody's had a watermelon or an orange or whatever, and you've tried the rind. Um, but this is very different. This is um not hop forward. This is a very fruitful beer, and I think I'm gonna agree with Braden on this one, and I'm gonna give it a four or five.

SPEAKER_05 21:36

Yeah, four or five.

SPEAKER_04 21:37

I like it. I like it a lot.

SPEAKER_05 21:39

That's what I'm talking about. We'll take a four or five.

SPEAKER_03 21:42

I'm a big fan. Um, one thing I will say is off the podcast, one thing I've really enjoyed is um I've had a lot of people interacting with me saying, Hey, y'all should try this beer. Oh, hey, I heard you tried this beer. Um, one that's kind of similar. That I like is this. And that's something I've really, really enjoyed. You know, we were talking about the porch beers. We hung out the next night or that weekend, rather, and had some of the garage beers.

SPEAKER_04 22:14

I believe those are made by Mr. Swift and Mr. Kelsey, if I remember correctly.

SPEAKER_03 22:19

Yeah, it's hard for me to have a ton of respect for Mr. Kelsey. Not Mr. Swift. No, Mr. Swift, whatever. But Mr. Kelsey, Jason, the the lineman, um, or the center, rather. Sorry. I don't know. Oh, he's a lineman. Retired center. Um he's a great family guy. He went on one of my favorite shows called uh Last Meals, and part of his last meal was Skyline Chili. And I have an inherent issue with anybody who puts chili on spaghetti.

SPEAKER_04 22:54

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_03 22:55

Do you know about Skyline Chili?

SPEAKER_04 22:56

No, I don't. I wanted to try it respectfully, of course.

SPEAKER_03 22:59

It's spaghetti noodles with like chili, but not our kind of chili, like hot dog chili.

SPEAKER_04 23:07

Oh. Listen, I was already turned on. You're not helping them out.

SPEAKER_03 23:11

With a shit ton of like sharp cheddar cheese and red onions on it, and you eat it like spaghetti.

SPEAKER_04 23:18

Please stop selling it. I'm already there.

SPEAKER_05 23:20

It's probably gonna be one of those things where it's actually really good together.

SPEAKER_04 23:24

You know, this was one of the things that we didn't really talk about when it comes to hash browns when we talk about Waffle House in episode one. But when I was in college, you know, used to when you got the full menu for Waffle House, you could get your hash browns all the way. And one of the biggest arguments that I always had with the waitress that was serving me, she would always go, Well, do you want chili or do you want gravy? I said, I want my hash browns all the way. Smothered, covered, darked. Like, I want the chili, I want the gravy on it. I am going to destroy the whole thing.

SPEAKER_06 24:06

I'm gonna have the world here. I'm just asking for a eight ball and two million dollars.

SPEAKER_04 24:13

I just wanted to have all of it on there.

SPEAKER_03 24:18

Yeah, I do. I do feel like if you say all the way, that means everything you've got.

SPEAKER_05 24:23

Never not getting a hash brown bowl with everything. It's too wet, man. I can't do it. Oh god, no. Slop it up. Because let's be real. Is that what your favorite band is of the Toadies? When do you eat when do you eat Waffle House the most? Let's be real. After I drink this case of beer and we get done with this podcast. There are no rules, buddy. Yeah. In that moment, there are no rules.

SPEAKER_02 24:49

I feel like we should have prefaced this podcast that all of us have been drinking for several hours before the recording.

SPEAKER_05 24:55

I had one earlier.

SPEAKER_04 24:57

Yeah, he had one with me and his son at lunch, but I was like six beers deep when I saw him.

SPEAKER_05 25:03

Well, it was like, ah, Kyla.

SPEAKER_03 25:06

Never never mind. K Dog's been doing good. Me and Uncle Lane have been drinking a little bit. Um, so if we ramble and yeah, I'm gonna tell how y'all parked in the tree out front.

SPEAKER_04 25:18

I think I kept most of my truck out of it.

SPEAKER_03 25:20

Um, actually, we don't drink and drive. That was the Uber driver, actually, that parked in the tree.

SPEAKER_04 25:27

Actually, we drink then drive.

SPEAKER_03 25:29

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 25:30

Everybody knows that.

SPEAKER_03 25:31

Yeah, not at the same time. Well, only at the same time, sometimes, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_04 25:37

Only when I'm having to ride behind the Harleys and make sure that I'm riding blocker for you guys.

SPEAKER_03 25:42

Well, I really appreciate it as someone who does never have brake lights or taillights or turn signals or tags or insurance on their stuff. So I appreciate you playing blocker. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 25:52

Who there was some guy screaming at us.

SPEAKER_03 25:54

Yeah, I still wish I knew what they were saying. I thought he was saying uh your bikes are slow, something of that nature. I thought he was saying uh let me hear them bikes. That's why I started revving.

SPEAKER_05 26:08

Yeah, I wonder if it came after.

SPEAKER_03 26:10

I don't know, but he was like fully hanging out of his car.

SPEAKER_05 26:13

Yeah. Um and then I couldn't hear him anymore when I revved up the Yeah, exactly. The 114.

SPEAKER_04 26:21

You know, I thought I was about to have to fight that guy. Yeah, and I was fully prepared.

SPEAKER_03 26:25

You wouldn't have had to fight him for the community in Jasper. If you ever seen me and Kalen riding, know between us there's at least a couple of guns. Do not do that.

SPEAKER_04 26:36

Well, I mean, the thing was I would have I would have felt bad for the poor guy because he was trying to start like if he'd start something and been with you guys, and then I was behind him.

SPEAKER_05 26:45

He's a kid.

SPEAKER_03 26:46

No, I think he was I think he was just liking the bikes, man. Yeah, I had a more positive outlook on it. I hope so.

SPEAKER_05 26:50

My glass was half empty.

SPEAKER_03 26:52

Yeah, I was I had a more positive outlook on it.

SPEAKER_05 26:54

I because all I heard was something about slow and gnaw, and and then I was like, oh, so I thought he said talk about mamas.

SPEAKER_03 27:02

I thought he said, let me hear them bikes show me or something. I guess you heard slow.

SPEAKER_05 27:08

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:09

But it's possible that you're right.

SPEAKER_05 27:10

Have you have you heard the exhaust on that 114?

SPEAKER_04 27:13

It's also a real bold statement coming from uh Racer Hodge.

SPEAKER_05 27:17

My brother-in-law, yeah. Matthew Swift, shout out.

SPEAKER_03 27:20

You know, I feel like we should talk on the podcast, but because we we made a Facebook post that's really not accurate anymore because we said we were gonna show you all our bikes. Well, a hundred percent of the bikes I posted will be gone tomorrow.

SPEAKER_05 27:35

Ideally, so we'll have to have an updated.

SPEAKER_03 27:39

I'll have two new bikes.

SPEAKER_05 27:41

Potentially because there may be some work, some changes for us as well.

SPEAKER_03 27:45

Yeah, potentially by the time this podcast airs, not at the time of recording, but at the time of it airing, you could potentially not own any of the Harley's that you posted that you did own.

SPEAKER_05 28:00

Right, yeah. I've lost all of my motorcycles to my wife.

SPEAKER_04 28:03

Yeah, and I think she sold them to get a new one. And I still have a standing offer. I'll still pay you what you paid for that uh nicer you got.

SPEAKER_03 28:13

I think it's already gone, isn't it? No, not yet. It's not 100% gone. Not 100%, it's spoken for.

SPEAKER_05 28:19

It's supposedly uh and and my wife has been ready to kill me ever since the conversation.

SPEAKER_03 28:25

She cried out here talking to me while I was watching.

SPEAKER_05 28:27

It was her first, uh her first ever Harley, you know, and she learned how to ride on it, and we've had great memories on it. Um, I put it like this to her today. I was like, sweetie, I'm only selling your Harley because you won't allow me to sell my own.

SPEAKER_04 28:41

Yeah. I mean, the thing is, you guys have, I mean, right now in your yard, there's like eight Harleys out there. But like, well, you know, truth be told, one of them's mine, two of them's Braden's, one's that random guy down the road.

SPEAKER_05 28:55

But like you know I look, I just noticed the bike. I'm gonna park my bike here for a couple of days.

SPEAKER_03 29:00

Yeah. So what uh what new creature have you gotten? And I'm calling it creature because I so um I don't want to speak about it as it's a normal thing.

SPEAKER_05 29:10

It is a 2019 road glide. Um it it is built.

SPEAKER_03 29:17

What would it be in in Harley terms? It's stage two, right? Stage two.

SPEAKER_05 29:23

Right. Because it hasn't had any heads or jugs.

SPEAKER_03 29:29

Right. No, because if if it has different jugs, it's stage three.

SPEAKER_05 29:34

Right. Jugs have not been touched. The only up that has been touched is breather and injectors.

SPEAKER_04 29:40

Now let me ask you a dumb new rider question. Okay. What is the difference between a road glide and a road king?

SPEAKER_05 29:50

Um technically the same frame, uh fairing depends. Uh Road Kings don't well. I don't know. Do road kings now come with the hardbags?

SPEAKER_03 30:02

Now they don't exist because Harley quit making them in 25. Um I think they all come with the hardbags. The only difference, the frame is the exact same up to 25, which was the last year of them. Um, the frame is the exact same, triple tree is the exact same. The only difference is that all of our Harley friends listening right now are like, oh, but but uh, and and this and if you're gonna tell me that the the the front spoke has 39 instead of 40 on a road king, everybody knows it screw off, you know what I mean? But in general, all of the parts for the engine is the exact same, transmission is the same, frame is the same, badges. It's a touring model. Uh the fairing.

SPEAKER_05 30:49

You're basically getting the fairing uh stereo system, GPS or whatever's coming up. I think the dash is different.

SPEAKER_03 30:54

The road king is built in, the speedo and stuff is built into the dash, the road glide is it's got the little bear.

SPEAKER_05 31:02

It's it's basically the same bike, it's just kind of the stripped, you know.

SPEAKER_06 31:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 31:06

But they're so cool, man. If you're if you're into like the cholo style, Road King is by far the coolest cholo that you could possibly get.

SPEAKER_04 31:16

And for me, like when I see the videos of like, you know, I'll be on YouTube, and I think most of us spend a lot of time on there as well.

SPEAKER_05 31:25

But like I get the on the toilet for 45 minutes.

SPEAKER_04 31:28

I get the commercial, you know, every five minutes for the new line of Harleys that come out. And I'm just not a fan of so ugly.

SPEAKER_05 31:36

They can talk about that a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 31:38

I'm not a fan of the fairing on the road club.

SPEAKER_05 31:41

People want to get into the Harley world. Yeah, guys. All three of us here are motorcycle guys. Um, so we we will every once in a while be talking about that. Um the new Harleys to me are very fancy. There's a huge market for them, especially like the road glide. Um, but I can't get over the bubble type feeling of the the bags. The if when you look at it from the back of the bike, it just has this round bubble look to it.

SPEAKER_04 32:14

For me, it's the fairing man. Like, I do not like that fairing on the road glide.

SPEAKER_03 32:18

On the on the new street glide, they went to like a more square headlight, and it in my opinion, and and and this is just me talking, you can go and look at Harley's sales numbers over the last five years, and they've been steadily decreasing.

SPEAKER_05 32:35

I think the problem with that is to me, the the beginning of the these new models, they just look like Indians. They look but I think I I have nothing against Indian, I just prefer a different body style.

SPEAKER_03 32:49

Well, I think Harley, and you can look at this because you look at it with the V-rod, right? They made this new bike, they completely destroyed the Sportster. They went to this new style in the Sportster, they put a new engine, the Revolution Max engine, the Sportster S, which is supposedly like a hybrid sport, the new Knightster too.

SPEAKER_05 33:10

Yeah, it just looks it's it looks like something foreign.

SPEAKER_03 33:15

We are all I love Harley Davidson. I have the Harley Davidson logo tattooed on my neck. I love I love Harley Davidson. What bikes do I own? I own pre-2017.

SPEAKER_05 33:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:29

Um, the newest Harley I've ever owned is gonna be this 2008, which we'll talk about. Um I think Harley, when you think Harley, you think American culture, you think old timers riding hard tails across the country. At least that's what I think about.

SPEAKER_04 33:49

But that also leads into the point that I was gonna make earlier. And that's that Harley Davidson for the last 20 to 30 years has really hammered down on hitting a certain demographic when it comes to riders. They are trying riders game now, man. Yeah. And the thing is though, like you'll see they released the Pan Am, I think. Yeah. Which is their, you know, competitive like street bike style. No. Well, it's their bike. Or they're cross-country. Yeah, I think is or their off-road bike or whatever it is. But the thing is though, they are they're they're aiming for a demographic as opposed to trying to get new young riders onto it because your older guys, they've already sold those guys, right? Like if you're 50 plus and you're riding a bike, you're probably riding a Harley. But they're not wing.

SPEAKER_05 34:46

A Goldwing's especially, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 34:48

Yeah. And but you're not doing anything to appeal to the younger masses. In fact, like with these new bikes, I think you've done the exact opposite of trying to appeal to that younger generation.

SPEAKER_03 34:59

I think that's what they tried to do with the new. I I say this and it's hyperbole, but they look like spaceships. That's what they look like the you know the uh the striders in Star Wars, like the that's what they're they look like to me. They're trying to be like futuristic, and I think and I I don't say I think because I am the younger demographic that they should be targeting. I'm 25. I'm I'm the group that's either gonna save or kill Harley.

SPEAKER_04 35:28

You are just now hitting adulthood, respectfully, of course. No, 100%. You're just now hitting adulthood, you're just now getting adult money that you can spend on something that's not rent and utilities and uh you know a basic house payment.

SPEAKER_05 35:46

Y'all want to do something we've never done before? Sure. Hey, buddy.

unknown 35:50

Hi, bud.

SPEAKER_01 35:51

What you doing?

SPEAKER_05 35:52

Oh, nothing much. We're uh recording podcast, and uh you're still. Yeah, we we've never done this, and for some reason we're talking about Harleys, and I felt it would be really good for our Harley mechanic to just say hello on the on the phone real quick.

SPEAKER_09 36:10

What's up, everybody?

SPEAKER_05 36:13

So when you hear yourself when the episode comes out, it'll be it'll be even better for all of us.

SPEAKER_01 36:18

Oh, that's great. That's great to hear.

SPEAKER_05 36:21

So our surprise guest is Caleb right now.

SPEAKER_01 36:25

Nice to meet everybody.

SPEAKER_03 36:28

What's going on, good buddy?

SPEAKER_01 36:30

Uh, you know, just headed back home from work. A little late getting home today, but living the dream. Oh, yeah. Always living that dream.

SPEAKER_04 36:40

Hey Caleb, what do you think about the 2026 models of bugs?

SPEAKER_05 36:49

You said it all.

SPEAKER_01 36:50

You you you put me on the spot there, man. I'm not gonna say that they're best, but I will say that they're they're pretty nice looking. I like to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_03 37:03

So they're yeah, they're fancy. Caleb, how old are you, good buddy? I'm 31. 31. So I am uh I'm 25. I just turned 25. What we're what we're talking about is that Harley needs to appeal to people closer to our age rather than the older crowd. That's what's either gonna keep or kill Harley.

SPEAKER_01 37:27

I think that's kind of what's happening right now.

SPEAKER_03 37:29

But do you I because I can tell you, as a 25-year-old dude, the new Harleys look like hammered ass to me.

SPEAKER_01 37:37

Yeah, I I the road glide.

SPEAKER_05 37:40

Yeah, the road glide, not quite as much, but straight up the the street glide looks like an Indian. And I'm not a fan of it.

SPEAKER_01 37:49

That's exactly what I said. I I told that to my service manager today, actually. I said, I hate the new street glides, they look stupid.

SPEAKER_04 37:58

And I'll be honest to you with you, when I was looking at bikes, man, like I was trying to decide between a Harley and an Indian, because I'm a I'm a big fan of the way that Indians look. But why are you gonna have two American-made bikes look exactly the same?

SPEAKER_05 38:13

It's yeah, I don't know. It's just getting it's getting kind of weird to me that they just took that shift.

SPEAKER_01 38:19

Yeah, it's just like I I'm not a fan of the saddlebags either, to be honest.

SPEAKER_05 38:23

That's what we spoke about the uh the saddlebags being so round from the from the rear looking at.

SPEAKER_01 38:30

They look like bubbles. My words made them.

SPEAKER_05 38:33

Yeah. Well, we appreciate you calling, brother, and uh, I'll give you a shout back. Um, but we appreciate you being on the air with us.

SPEAKER_01 38:40

Absolutely. I it's a pleasure. I I I enjoy being a special guest. Surprise, surprise.

SPEAKER_05 38:47

We'll get you on live one day, brother. All right, we'll talk to you later, buddy.

SPEAKER_01 38:51

All right, y'all take it easy.

SPEAKER_05 38:55

Our first live caller. You know, I was thinking, I was like, oh, Caleb's calling. I was like, we should do this.

SPEAKER_03 39:02

Yeah, he can weigh in. He uh he has a unique perspective.

SPEAKER_05 39:05

It was too it was like in the ether. He was like, someone's talking about Harley's, let's call that.

SPEAKER_03 39:11

Yeah, I d I don't know, man. I I love I love Harley Davidson as a company. I think that it's really hard as an American when you think about America as a country, Harley Davidson is one of the brands.

SPEAKER_05 39:27

Yeah. Well, in the state of the country, Harley's suffering right now, you know.

SPEAKER_03 39:30

So bad, man.

SPEAKER_05 39:31

Well, they just lay off how many?

SPEAKER_03 39:34

Their factory, you know, they have a factory and they were producing, I don't remember how many it was at the height of their production. They're producing less than half right now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 39:43

But uh I think part of the selling street glides, man, it's a killer.

SPEAKER_04 39:47

Yeah, well, uh, there's a lot of things that plays into that, right? First of all, is their bikes right now don't look good. No, like let's just be honest.

SPEAKER_05 39:55

Uh it it's it reminds me of like whoever is in charge of making those decisions were the same one that were trying to change the uh crackle barrel look completely like a track.

SPEAKER_03 40:11

They just got a new CEO, actually, Harley did. And that's what I'm saying. That and no, after all this stuff happened, they just got a new one, I think a few months ago. And so he was talking about how important it was to go back to what they were doing.

SPEAKER_06 41:55

I lost my mind on a trip to the beer store. I heard the truth. A trip to the beer store.

SPEAKER_04 42:04

And we're back on my boys. You know what time of year it is. I realize this episode is gonna launch on like April 6th, but March Madness is getting close to wrapping up. And I felt like it was only fitting that today's game tied in very closely with some March Madness because today we're gonna talk about the top easily accessible beer in the United States. Now, I understand that we could very easily just address this as McLobe is the top seller in terms of volume, or we could very easily address this as Modello is the most in terms of revenue. But I want to talk about the best tasting in our opinions, and because we all know that those are the only opinions that matter.

SPEAKER_03 43:06

Which is the opinion.

SPEAKER_05 43:09

The opinion.

SPEAKER_04 43:10

So while I could not do a round of 64, we are, however, today going to do a 32 team. Oh my goodness. A trip to the beer store, March Madness round. Hell yeah. You guys prepared for this? I'm prepared. All right. So this list or this bracket that I created is a combination of two things. It's a combination of the top twenty five beers sold in the United States in 2024, which was the most recent that I could get.

SPEAKER_03 43:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 43:55

And a combination of the Messages that we received when we posted asking for recommendations.

SPEAKER_02 44:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 44:07

Gotcha. Would you like to we have not seen the list of this beer? Would you like to predict what wins at all? Just blind guess. And if you guess something like that. Blind guess. If you guess something that's not on the list, he'll tell you.

SPEAKER_05 44:21

Our top.

SPEAKER_04 44:21

Um it's tough though, because I mean, realistically speaking, I also don't I don't want to sway our fans. Yeah. And I don't want you guys to come in saying, oh, well, this beer's gonna win.

SPEAKER_03 44:32

No, it's just a guess. It's just a guess. No, I'm just saying if you had to guess, you know that it's the top 25 most popular.

SPEAKER_04 44:40

As of 2024.

SPEAKER_05 44:42

Okay, yeah, just going off popular, you already know. You already know as far as popularity is what everybody asks for.

SPEAKER_03 44:50

You think so?

SPEAKER_05 44:51

Uh yeah. Here's if we're going off popular, because uh Mikelob Ultra is the drink. It's the beerybody can drink if they don't have their beer in stock. It's absolutely the truth.

SPEAKER_04 45:06

So would you let me to give you guys the number one seed in each bracket?

SPEAKER_03 45:13

I think we should just jump into it.

SPEAKER_04 45:15

Let's dive into it.

SPEAKER_03 45:16

Jump off.

SPEAKER_04 45:16

Okay. We will dive off in it.

SPEAKER_03 45:19

As you as you read it to us, would you tell us who the higher seed is, though?

SPEAKER_04 45:23

Yeah, absolutely. Well, some of them it'll be a little tough because once we got into um listener recommendations, and there's a few of them that I just had to go in and grab a couple of beers to finish filling out the bracket. There probably realistically won't be a higher seed.

SPEAKER_02 45:41

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_04 45:42

But for the most part, I can give you a higher seed for each matchup. Cool. Alright. So coming in at the number one overall seed in the 2026 trip to the beer store, March Madness bracket, is Michelobe Ultra.

SPEAKER_03 46:00

Okay.

unknown 46:01

Off the bat.

SPEAKER_04 46:02

Versus coming in at our 32 seed overall, which was Reds, Apple, Hard Cider. It's Ultra. It's Mickey.

SPEAKER_03 46:13

Yeah. I like and I like uh I like a uh Reds, but yeah.

SPEAKER_05 46:18

Well let's be real.

SPEAKER_03 46:19

It's a Mickey. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 46:21

And I'll try to do that.

SPEAKER_03 46:22

Also, the the rules of this is me and me and K Dog are doing this. You're the you're the referee or whatever.

SPEAKER_04 46:28

Yeah. In the decide. In the event that something was to happen, right? And you guys were to just be fist fighting over which team aggressives. Um, yeah, I will step in and be the deciding vote. Okay. All right. So this actually is probably gonna be one of the better matchups of the entire bracket. Wow.

SPEAKER_05 46:53

Early on.

SPEAKER_04 46:54

Yeah. In the top of region one, we have Corona Lite versus Yingling.

SPEAKER_03 47:01

Ying. Yingling. I thought we were about to have to argue about this.

SPEAKER_05 47:05

Yo, Corona Lite?

SPEAKER_03 47:07

I thought you like a Corona. Extra. Oh, my bad. My bad. Didn't mean to insult you like that. That's hurtful.

SPEAKER_04 47:15

That's a little hurtful.

SPEAKER_03 47:16

Yeah, I love a Yingling. Uh, shout out to my wife. That's your favorite beer. Shout out.

SPEAKER_04 47:21

Yep. I actually almost bought some uh black and tans just for you the other day when you're seeing them coming over.

SPEAKER_03 47:28

Very good. Fantastic, fantastic brew.

SPEAKER_04 47:31

All right. Matchup number three. We have the Miller High Life coming in against Shinerbach.

SPEAKER_05 47:42

Shinerbach.

SPEAKER_04 47:44

I was about to say it's got to be a shiner. It is so wild because Miller is a much higher seed overall. But it ain't nothing finer. Shiner to be such a better beer personally. Yes. Ain't nothing finer.

SPEAKER_05 47:58

Who is it uh Jason that's the High Life guy?

SPEAKER_04 48:01

Jason is the High Life guy. Hank is the Shiner guy. Shiner guy, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 48:05

I like a High Life.

SPEAKER_05 48:06

No, no shade on a High Life, but um But Shiner, let's you know, when we're throwing it to be completely honest. Yeah, I like a Shiner's the Shiner.

SPEAKER_04 48:16

And so coming in at round the fourth uh matchup, this is a tough for me personally, so I would understand if you guys struggle a little bit with this decision. Or maybe I'm just that guy. But New Belgium's fat tire versus a Guinness. Oh, that's terrible. Why did why are they matched up? Because Fat Tire actually didn't make the top 25 list.

SPEAKER_03 48:49

I'm shocked by that. I love a fat tire, but there's no way a fat tire beats a Guinness.

SPEAKER_05 48:56

No way. I I didn't mind the fat tire. But to me, that one's a no-brainer.

SPEAKER_03 49:01

But I love a fat tire. I hate that fat tires going first round.

SPEAKER_05 49:06

Gotta go, man. It's a tough world.

SPEAKER_03 49:08

It's tough world we live in, man. Guinness is better. Yeah. And so fat tire is absolutely phenomenal. I hate that it went first round.

SPEAKER_04 49:17

I just want you guys to think about those second round matchups that you're setting up. Because that was the round of 32, right? Or so this is the round of 32. And you've only eliminated four beers. This is gonna we're gonna end up fighting. Let's go.

SPEAKER_05 49:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 49:36

And so say uncle. We have a what's that gonna be? A number five seed. Okay. Coming in at Sam Adams Boston Lager. Okay. Versus my favorite beer. The PBR. PBR. PBR. Without question. That's like I mean, that is a real big no-brainer. That is a I mean, realistically, that's a huge upset, right? Because Sam Adams is one of the largest in terms of volume sold.

SPEAKER_03 50:11

But it ain't a PBR, though.

SPEAKER_05 50:13

No way. It's not.

SPEAKER_02 50:15

We're gonna look so white trashy if PBR goes all the way to the final.

SPEAKER_04 50:22

Well, there's a real chance it could make it to the round of eight. It could. Alright. So what is money? Y'all grew up with money. Next matchup. We've got Miller Light versus a Takate. Oh, I like a Takate actually a lot.

SPEAKER_05 50:45

But man. So Miller's also one of those beers kind of like Nickelode.

SPEAKER_04 50:49

No, so we're I I do want before we get too dived off into this, we're we're what this is the sixth matchup we've got. I do want us to remember that we're talking about easily accessible, and we're talking about our favorites inside of that.

SPEAKER_05 51:07

Okay, so the mixture.

SPEAKER_03 51:09

But here's here's a very important distinction for me, and I will die on this hill. Miller Light is one of the few beers that taste 100% completely different out of a can and out of a glass bottle. I do not like Miller Light. I like a Miller Light out of a can. Out of a bottle, it tastes like there's a penny in the bottom of it.

SPEAKER_05 51:34

You've had some sunburn.

SPEAKER_04 51:36

But at the same time, I could say the same thing about a Boston Lager. If you had literally picked any other Sam Adams, right? Like I I I I I went by when I wrote this up, I wrote this up based on the top-selling brands. And a Boston lager, in my opinion, is the worst Sam Adams beer.

SPEAKER_03 52:00

I I'll I'll agree with that.

SPEAKER_05 52:01

Yeah, I guess I could too.

SPEAKER_03 52:03

Um purely, and this is gonna be an upset, but purely because I hate a Miller Light out of a bottle, I'm gonna go to Cade.

SPEAKER_05 52:11

I'm going Miller, buddy. And we fight! And already said he hated it. Yeah, I mean, unfortunately.

SPEAKER_03 52:23

Oh, I'll I can't tell you how many Miller Lights I've drink in my life. Yeah, I'll remind you of this next time I'll see you.

SPEAKER_04 52:30

Well, the thing is, I'll drink a Miller Lite, but that's gonna be solely if there's not a PBR, there's not a Bud Light, there's not a Coors Light, there's not a Coors Banquet, there's not a Miller High Life. I mean, I'm gonna have to get on down the list before I drink a Miller Light.

SPEAKER_05 52:50

All right, well, let's go. I mean, if if that's what it is, I've been I hate to be that guy. You count it out immediately.

SPEAKER_03 52:56

Because a Miller life and a Miller Lot in an aluminum bottle is heaven. Love a Miller Light.

SPEAKER_05 53:04

Is that rooster flattening your tire on your road king right now?

SPEAKER_03 53:08

I've drank a lot of Miller Lots with that guy. And I I like a Miller Lot, but um purely because I cannot drink them out of a bottle, they just they taste like they got a penny in the bottom of them.

SPEAKER_05 53:18

I got you.

SPEAKER_04 53:19

And before before I read the next matchup, I want you to remember that you need to take into account the easily accessibility nationwide. Because as wild as this sounds, I was looking at our listeners from last week and the week before. And we have listeners in DC, we have listeners in Philly, we have listeners in Mississippi, South Carolina, worldwide.

SPEAKER_05 53:48

They're just making fun of our accents.

SPEAKER_04 53:50

Worldwide. And that very well may be something that plays into it. But they are religious listeners. Um there's somebody, I don't know who it is, but somebody in Irmo, South Carolina has listened to every episode.

SPEAKER_05 54:05

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 54:06

And if who you whoever you are, please let us know because we love the support. We appreciate you. But the next matchup is Stella Artois versus a truck stop, honey.

SPEAKER_03 54:24

As someone who hates Stella, going truck stop, it's easy.

SPEAKER_05 54:28

100%.

SPEAKER_03 54:29

Not only do I love truck stop, I hate Stella, so it's easy.

SPEAKER_05 54:34

I don't mind Stella. I I enjoyed, I'll enjoy Stella.

SPEAKER_04 54:38

I love Stella. Really? And if you've never had their cider, I recommend you try it. I didn't know that was a thing.

SPEAKER_03 54:46

Yeah. I don't know what it is about Stella. It's just not my drink.

SPEAKER_05 54:50

It's fancy beer. Yeah, I I really that's a no-brainer to me.

SPEAKER_04 54:54

I mean, like I like I said, I I think it so I mean, obviously that was the underseed there.

SPEAKER_05 55:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:00

But you know, moving forward, we still need to remember we're talking about countrywide accessibility. And as good as is it good people, it's back 40. As good as back 40 is, we will have to at some point address the fact that we're not sure.

SPEAKER_05 55:14

Side note, if you haven't been to back 40 brewing company, one of the best burgers.

SPEAKER_04 55:20

They got a good burger over there, food is phenomenal. I have not been. I would put their food on par, if not better than their beer.

SPEAKER_05 55:28

They do like a dill thing. I'm a big dill ranch guy. It is so good. We may have to make a trip. Absolutely. We used to do that all the time. If we worked anywhere around uh Back 40, yeah, it was always burger time.

SPEAKER_03 55:41

Well, now that you have a bike that has a front tire on it, we should go.

SPEAKER_05 55:44

You know, we should have gone without one.

SPEAKER_04 55:46

Yeah, and you ride this random one. Realistically, something we should, you know, if uh back 40 is, you know, listening or is going to listen whenever we try them out. We'd love to do a live show there for you guys. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 56:00

We're big fans, huge fans. I'm sorry I've never eaten your food, but I've drank a lot of your beer.

SPEAKER_04 56:06

Yeah, a lot. So I think this will be another tough matchup, or at least for me as a white trashy boy. Okay. The last matchup on the left side of our bracket is going to be natural light versus Corona Extra.

SPEAKER_05 56:30

Corona Extra, man. Corona extra. If you would have said it would have been a battle for me if you would have said natty ice over that. But natty light, one I've I've left in my past.

SPEAKER_03 56:44

I love a natty light.

SPEAKER_05 56:45

That's why you can absolutely pour natty light in a radiator of an old Chevy and make it home.

SPEAKER_03 56:54

And she'll eat. Um, so as someone who loves Natty Light, I've drank a lot of them. But what I will say is between the two, if we're just talking about I'm sitting around drinking, I'm gonna drink Natty Lights.

SPEAKER_05 57:15

If we're talking We can't give him the third. He's a Corona extra hating person.

SPEAKER_03 57:20

I detest Corona. We can't give him this one. What I will say is if we're talking about accessibility across the country and what most people opinion, yeah, most people's opinion will be, they're gonna say corona.

SPEAKER_05 57:37

Yeah, but if you would have said Alabama, Natty Light would have won.

SPEAKER_03 57:40

I would like to say personally, if I was offered both of those beers, I'm grabbing my keys out of my pocket and shotgunning the Natty Light first. But I will use my brain and give it to the Corona because I do think most people would agree with that.

SPEAKER_04 58:01

All right. And I mean, realistically, yes. I just happen to be one of those guys, I don't know what it is. I detest Corona. I've never had a corona.

SPEAKER_05 58:10

Smells like marijuana. No, because I love the Heineken.

SPEAKER_04 58:13

So what? That was the number six seed. Um, Corona Extra would have been the two or three.

SPEAKER_03 58:20

Oh, wow. So it's up there.

SPEAKER_04 58:21

Yeah, Corona Extra is the number two or three overall seed. Well, I figured that.

SPEAKER_03 58:26

I feel good about giving it to it. Yeah. I personally am white trash and love an agile thing.

SPEAKER_04 58:31

Number three seed. Number three overall. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 58:34

All right.

SPEAKER_04 58:35

I feel okay about that.

SPEAKER_05 58:36

Give us to us. Give it to us, Uncle Daddy Lane.

SPEAKER_04 58:39

So, number three overall seed, Mello.

SPEAKER_05 58:44

Modello?

SPEAKER_04 58:46

Coming in against the Bush Heavies.

SPEAKER_03 58:50

Bush Heavies. I love a Bush Heavy. Um, I also love a modelo. But I love a modello as well. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 59:00

Like some of these are gonna be tough matchups, man.

SPEAKER_05 59:02

Like you're gonna get down there. We're losing a fan right now. I'm telling you. So let me let me ask you a few more.

SPEAKER_04 59:08

We only have six, so I mean we're gonna have five after this.

SPEAKER_03 59:11

Let me ask you a question, Uncle. When you say modello, we're talking about a normal.

SPEAKER_04 59:18

Yeah, not the Negro, not the anything. Okay.

unknown 59:21

God, I love a modello.

SPEAKER_04 59:25

Modello is the number two overall seed.

SPEAKER_05 59:27

Those are also equally accessible. They are. And Modello. There is every store.

SPEAKER_03 59:33

Modello's brewed for a fighting spirit.

SPEAKER_05 59:37

I don't know. You might get argued with Sterling on that one. This this guy's a bush heavy.

SPEAKER_03 59:44

I love a bush-heavy band.

SPEAKER_04 59:45

Oh, I I love them.

SPEAKER_05 59:48

That's that's the the hardest one you've said yet, I believe.

SPEAKER_04 59:53

Unfortunately, it just came in as uh is it come in as lower seed.

SPEAKER_05 59:57

I don't know. I say let's choose one of the other and let's let him be the bad guy. I'm gonna choose Bush.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:07

I'm glad that you said you were choosing Bush because I was going Modello.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:10

I know you are. And I realistically will also take Modello over Bush. I'm not the bad guy. I'm surprised by that. I thought you were going Bush Heavies. If you're not going to be able to do it, if it had been if it had been Modello versus Bush Light, I would have taken the Bush Light. But versus the Bush Heavy. Yeah. I'm gonna take a modello.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:31

I love a Modello, man.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:32

Great beer. Hey, I'm gonna let you guys be the bad guys.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:35

We love Bush Heavies, though.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:37

Oh yeah, no doubt. I love I love all of these beers.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:40

That was a hard one. But you taking this attitude already is a bad sign because you know we're gonna get to the final four, and they're all gonna be great beers, right?

SPEAKER_04 1:00:48

Yeah, it's gonna be a fist fight here shortly. Um so for this next pick, and I feel this is unfair because I know that both of you guys really like this, like one of these beers. So coming in for the uh whatever seeds these are, God knows. We got Bud Heavies pork chops versus the Montuckey Colts.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:17

And I have probably drank more Bud Heavies than any other beer in my entire life.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:23

Um now this doesn't fall on because we're let's be real, we are ruining the accessibility.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:30

Like the thing is you gotta remember, like, I mean, you can only take your your specific love for this beer so far.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:38

Right. I want you to know if it's up to me, Montucky's winning it all. And I I hate to be that guy.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:43

It's just not something you can get your buttons on.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:46

It's not we set rules in place. I need you to tell me right now, right? Before you know we continue any farther, where's Montucky brewed?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:55

Could couldn't tell you. You know what I can tell you? In Kentucky, they are absolutely delicious. And being that they are not accessible, Kalen can attest to this. I was within an hour of where I could get some. I dropped everything I had planned, got every single case that they had, and delivered K Dog and Brit a case.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:22

It's definitely not in Kentucky. Uh where is it? It's in Montana.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:27

Montana? That makes the most sense. Everyone I know that loves Montucky, I got them a case and delivered it to them.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:33

You know how many cases he brought to Lane's house? You came here and drank some asshole. Yeah, we drank it here. Do you know how many he brought to Lane's house?

SPEAKER_05 1:02:41

It's because you always come here.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:43

They only had four cases in the entire gas station. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:46

But I I will say, like, something to remember is that we are judging this based on accessibility as well.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:52

Bush, Bush, not Bush, Bud Heavy should move on to the next round. Objectively, I understand that that is true. By according to the rules, according to the fact that there are more people who drink Bud Heavy.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:05

I will never in my life say that I prefer a Bud Heavy over a Montucky.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:10

You will never hear me say that either. Montuckey is a very good beer. Oh, I'm not hating on it at all.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:16

Out of I I'll I will say this on record. We can never review Montuckey on this podcast because the second that we do, it will be my number one beer forever.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:32

Not to mention the simple fact it's hard to find. It's incredibly difficult to find around us. Around us. Montucky, if you want to create a relationship, there is no one. Very toxic relationship. There is no one on this earth that we love you as much as I will.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:50

We are working real hard on getting a video segment added at a minimum.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:56

Sponsored by Montuckey for all the people I put on to Montucky.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:00

Oh, no doubt. I did I wouldn't drink one if I didn't know about it from you. So, moving on.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:06

So we're we we are pushing Montucky through.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:09

Hey, listen, I don't control it. I've got to push it through.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:14

I have to. And look, I I'll I'll admit, if you think that I'm wrong in picking it over a butt heavy, I'll concede.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:22

But it's that good. And we're gonna say that.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:25

If you haven't ever had a Montucky cold snack, you need one desperately. So yeah, let's push that one through.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:32

And the part that the part that is wild is this is one of those beers that made it onto the list solely because of a listener recommendation.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:43

We have great listeners, they have great taste.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:46

So, next matchup is the blue moon versus an angry orchard.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:55

Okay, for this round in particular, I think the blue moon is gonna move on regardless. For me, it is. I don't care. I when considering these beers like the Corona, like the modello, like the um full moon. Not full moon. Blue Moon. I'm hungry. I'm thinking about barbecue.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:16

Blue Moon is one of the best of what type of beer it is. Um, in my opinion, I have found other ciders to be better than the Angry Orchard. I do like Angry Orchard. Uh it's a little too sweet for me, and there's some other ciders that knock that edge off, um, and they do a really good job.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:37

So, but are we counting the the blue moon with an orange in it?

unknown 1:05:42

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:43

Because that's that's important. Because like the Corona, Corona without a lime is different.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:48

Well, we did not specifically define.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:52

Maybe they're you you drink them just according to how you like 'em.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:55

You know, and because blue moon with uh an orange. Orange slice in it is elite. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:02

But we also it's almost like if you choose to drink your beer hot or cold, you know.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:07

We also said though, when we were grading our beers on the list. This is a good how the beer is packaged. Okay. So I think we need to judge this the same way.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:22

I'm passing Blue Moon on because I prefer it, period. I do not think it'll make it past the next round because to really be good, it needs an orange slice in it.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:34

It's tough. Next round is a weaker. The next catch up is weaker.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:39

Let's see.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:39

I'm gonna push through Blue Moon as well.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:41

I love a Blue Moon.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:42

Yeah. Have you had the what are the Blue Moon X? I'm the guy that drinks Corona with no lime. I like the beers. I like the beers the way they come. And Blue Moon is one of those I enjoy without an orange or or with.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:56

Have you guys ever had Cider Boys? Mm-mm. So Cider Boys did not make the list. Um, but if we decide to do an episode where we do cider instead of a beer, I will bring you guys some cider boys. And Cider Boys is my favorite cider because you can get apple, they do an apple and orange, they do an apple and like you name it. We should check that out in terms of I like try that and it's not incredibly sweet, which is a big thing for me, is it's not just being destroyed by and I do love a baple.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:35

Oh man, I'm sorry, but that's that's the only one that was the first beer I drank today.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:42

You know, to this day, I've never had a baple. Really?

SPEAKER_05 1:07:48

I thought you had one with us.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:49

No, because last time par was open and you guys had bapbles, I was on the road. That's right. I walked in.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:00

I'm gonna save you a baple. There's a baple in this fridge right now. I may have to drink that in a minute.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:05

I walked in the door to your house today, and before I said hello to your wife, she handed me a baple. It's like she said, Hey, I got this for you. She's perfect. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:14

I love you. Thank you, mother. So, our next matchup. And to me, this may be the weakest matchup of the entire bracket. Like it's a landslide.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:28

Well, not even necessarily that. Like, I think that these beers both sell exceptionally well. Okay. Neither one of them is exceptionally popular in this area.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:42

Gotcha. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:44

So we've got Rolling Rock versus Heineken.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:53

I've got to get it. I I'm gonna go Heineken. I do not have anything against Rolling Rock. Um, I've had a few of them, but like you said, they're really not popular down here.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:04

Yeah, so I can't promise you I've ever tried a rolling rock.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:09

I've never had a uh a natural rolling rock. I've had the cider that they put out, I've had several of the other rolling rock.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:20

I will never know on that one, so I I'd have to say Heineken.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:24

I've had some rolling rock. It's a it's fine, um, but it goes back into it's just really not popular around here. Yeah, it's not uh and I like a Heineken a lot. Shout out to uh all my Brazilian friends, they can wear out some Heineken. I mean, wear it out. You've seen some things, I've seen some some folks drink some Heineken.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:49

So I am an idiot, and I'll go ahead and admit that. Blaine's an idiot. Um You're an idiot. So I typoded this one, so this will be a freebie. Uh-oh. Um, but when I was writing this bracket out, apparently Blue Moon had sat higher initially than I thought it had. And so for this one, it was going to it should have been Blue Moon versus the Andy Gator.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:20

I I love a Blue Moon, but I gotta give it to an Andie Gator. I love an Andy Gator.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:24

I mean, Andy Gator is passing on because I'm a moron, but like well, just uh in an opinion status, I do not like Andie Gator as much as I do Blue Moon.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:36

Really? Yeah, I love an Andie Gator.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:38

Yeah, so I would choose that, but of course, yeah, let's this is my typo, so I I messed up here.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:46

But everybody's stone lane. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:49

Shame, shame, shame, shame, shun the non-believer, shame. Um Coors Light versus Adosa Keys.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:02

Guys, look, we're gonna break the fourth wall for a minute, and I'm gonna speak directly to you guys, okay? It doesn't matter what Kaylin says right now, because I'll be very honest with you. All of the tell your ride beers are gone.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:17

We switched over to Coors Light.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:21

Somebody pass me one of those Coors Light about uh halfway through this podcast. I have a Coors Light in my hand right now. K-Dog is staring at it.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:32

Um we do we do fall on that uh accessibility. There's a lot of gas stations that don't just naturally carry dose ecis.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:40

Coors light's moving on.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:42

But you know, it's always available.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:46

Always, but I will argue enough to the point that I find a hard time sometimes finding a coors, though.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:55

Isn't it crazy? Both of my kids, both of my sons, Hunter and Braden, both love coors light.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:04

I like a coors light, and I they have fully gotten me with a marketing gimmick about the blue mountains. Do y'all know about this?

SPEAKER_04 1:12:11

Oh, yeah. Gotta be blue.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:14

If they're not blue, I ain't drinking it.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:16

I think next week's game will be These are not blue, I lied because they've been sitting on the table for an hour.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:24

They're great.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:26

If the mountains are great, we're drinking. Next week's game, if I get to choose, obviously, you know, you guys can choose as well. But I think that top advertisements for beers would be a great game next week.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:44

Yeah. Very possible, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:46

Yeah, we can talk about that. So, next matchup. Kers banquet versus getting so dirty.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:55

He's getting so dirty.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:56

The Keystone Light.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:58

That's not a competition at all.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:00

Realistically speaking, from a Colorado Kool-Aid.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:04

From a mathematical perspective, you're telling me that these volumes are similar?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:09

I'm telling you that from a volume perspective, Keystone Light wins.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:16

It would have to be because every gas station carries Keystone Light, and not every gas station has sequence.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:22

I hate to tell this story in the middle of the game and take up your time, but I spent when NN Meat Company, right, they first opened. As we've said on the podcast several times, we wanted to support local. We love supporting local.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:37

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:38

I went out of my way for 10 people. I went up there and had ribeyes cut.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:44

I invited people over to the house. I was like, guys, look, I'm cooking ribeyes, I'm doing twice-baked potatoes, I'm doing asparagus, I'm doing everything, right? I spent like $600 on food for 10 people. So I do this. A buddy of mine calls me and he goes, dude, I really appreciate you inviting me. What do I need to bring? So I hit him back and I'm like, you know what, man? You ain't got to bring nothing. I I got it covered. I just want you to come and have a good time. He said, Well, what kind of beer do you, what kind of beer you want to drink? And I said, Man, I don't care. Just, you know, we've hung out a bunch. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 1:14:26

You're like, I kind of do care.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:28

Yeah, you know, you know what I'll like to drink, and I'm assuming he's gonna bring Cores Light, Bud Light, whatever. This motherfucker shows up with two 30 racks of Keystone light. No. And I'm like, motherfucker, I just spent $60 on just your steak.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:46

Like, oh man.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:49

What? And I was like, you can't eat. You have to go home. You have to leave. I'm like, you just spent $8 for 60 beers. You have to go home. And that's giving a little um no shame to anybody who drinks Keystone Light.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:02

It's one of the worst to me, man.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:04

Anytime I can buy a 30 rack for $11, I'm concerned.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:09

That's like Natty Ice. Uh they used to say it's cheaper than your water bill. It's just cheaper than water.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:14

But hear me out here. Like, what about a Natterday, though?

SPEAKER_05 1:15:18

I mean, don't shit on my are they not a big Natterday guy. Do y'all remember?

SPEAKER_03 1:15:22

Do y'all remember the natty natty ices that came in the little stubby can or stummy bottles?

SPEAKER_05 1:15:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:29

Were those just called natty ices? What were they called?

SPEAKER_05 1:15:32

Those were uh natty daddies. Is that what they called?

SPEAKER_03 1:15:36

Natty daddies, the little tiny short stubby bottles.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:39

I thought it was just natty daddy. I was poor.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:42

Like I grew up poor. No, these were. I don't know if I ever grew up that poor.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:46

No, these were cheap shitty beers.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:47

So natty bears to keep the show moving, though.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:51

Sorry, guys. So natty daddy's beer itself.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:56

What you're talking about was just like the coors banquet beers come in those. The ponies.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:01

Yeah, the little ponies.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:02

Yeah, it was just a natural light that came in those.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:05

I thought there was a natty daddy that came in one of those little ponies.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:10

Well, it's possible, but there was a natty daddy.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:12

Coming in ponies. Coming in ponies.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:15

So to wrap out the last matchup of the first round.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:22

It was just uh we just had a natural light and a cool little bottle, man. Little shooter, you know.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:30

We got the voodoo ranger versus a Bud Light.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:36

I've never had a voodoo ranger.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:38

Really? Your son is gonna be really upset with you. That's one of his favorite beers.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:42

I love a voodoo ranger, don't get me wrong. But I also think it comes back to accessibility as being a 50-50 split on our decision making.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:54

Is but what is Bud Light as far as popularity goes? It's gotta be number three. I was about to say it's gotta be number four, sorry. Number four.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:02

It's gotta be number one. Way up there. It was it was number one, and then all of the um political stuff that we don't talk about on this show. Yeah. So it uh it now comes in at the number four seed versus a voodoo ranger.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:22

It feels it feels really wrong pushing voodoo ranger ahead. I if I'm sitting drinking beer, I would rather personally have a voodoo ranger. And and I'm in every situation, I would rather have a voodoo ranger. But purely for the number of people that drink Bud Light. Bud Light used to be my number one. Well when I like a Bud Light.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:49

Like when we used to drink, as Michelobe is now, yeah, Bud Light was there. Um now I think Michelobe Ultra tastes better, but they're both very similar.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:03

Well, it's hard for me to push a Bud Light ahead because I know Budweiser is in there as well, and there is no universe where I will drink a Bud Light over a Bud Heavy.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:14

I started drinking Michelobe way before all this rigmarole back and forth.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:19

Before the political stuff.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:20

Yeah, yeah. Until you're gonna be able to do that. And I just liked Michelobe better.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:23

I've always been a fan of Bud Light over Bud Heavies. Really? You prefer a Bud Light over a pork chop? Because the thing you gotta remember though, for me, I've never sat down and had one beer. And this is completely irrelevant from our comparison, but I've never sat down and had one beer. I've sat down and drank a Bud Heavy, and then the rest of the night I had to drink light beer because I couldn't put another full flavor in me. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:57

But I that has not been my experience. I can put away some Bud Heavies.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:05

Um But it's also weird because you guys have seen me when I got a hold of a 12-pack of cores.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:12

Yeah, that it that is valid. Um I do think purely just because it has to, Bud Light has to move forward.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:21

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:24

You know, there's only two light beers making the round of 16. Still a tasteful beer.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:33

I've just never had the voodoo.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:35

I like a voodoo. I like to try the beer. Um and your other son requested that we try some voodoo, um, which is on my list the next time I get beers. That's what we will be drinking.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:47

If I can put it on, is it just that hard to find?

SPEAKER_03 1:19:50

Uh the specific the specific ones that he wants us to try are hard to find.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:55

Yeah.

unknown 1:19:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:57

Yeah, and that's the big I hadn't forgot about you, little brother. I hadn't forgot about you.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:07
