Ep.14. Fly Me To The Moon

In this laid-back return episode of A Trip to the Beer Store, we catch up after a long hiatus brought on by work travel and life on the move. We share stories from the road, talk about what pulled us away from the mic, and what it feels like to finally be back.
Of course, it wouldn’t be the show without trying something new, so we crack open a fresh beer and give our honest, unfiltered thoughts. From first sip to final verdict, nothing’s off-limits.
To round things out, we dive into a fun (and slightly ridiculous) debate: if we were in a food-eating contest, what would we absolutely dominate? From comfort foods to wild picks, we make our cases and challenge each other’s appetites.
It’s a mix of catching up, cracking beers, and classic banter—just like you remember.

SPEAKER_05 1:24

Yeah. So if you get a little feedback on us today, you know, you hear a little feedback in the background. It is the electromagnetic storm going on outside. Yeah. Big time.

SPEAKER_04 1:34

It's like Sharknado, kind of. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

The sharks are looking through the window. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:41

Like I I thought we would spend at least part of the day just kind of catching up on like some of the craziness that's been going on in our lives.

SPEAKER_04 1:49

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:49

It's been a crazy three weeks.

SPEAKER_05 1:51

Yeah, no doubt about that.

SPEAKER_04 1:52

Speaking of Sharknado, y'all both tried to fly through Sharknado, and neither of you could.

SPEAKER_01 1:59

Yeah. We were we were grounded.

SPEAKER_04 2:01

Yeah, they wouldn't let y'all. Wouldn't let y'all. So, you know, y'all have been traveling a lot. Um, so I'll I'll just pose some questions just because I'm I'm interested. Um, like I said, y'all, y'all have been gone, so we really hadn't been hanging out all that much.

SPEAKER_01 2:15

Um we missed you.

SPEAKER_04 2:17

I've missed you all. Desperately. Um so how has it been? Y'all have been coast to coast, yeah?

SPEAKER_01 2:26

Literally. My first my first trip was in Ontario, California. Coast to coast. Uh and from there to Fresno, and then back home, and then Washington. Oh wow. Uh two spots in Washington and then State, not DC. Washington State, yes. Um, and then come back, and then Lane and I had the pleasure of going to Arizona last week.

SPEAKER_04 2:46

Those are some long flights, are they not, boys?

SPEAKER_01 2:50

Yeah. Um, I think the longest one was what three and a half hours, something like that. I mean, it's a hard one. But you're you get on a connecting flight and you get, you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 3:00

So I think um when you were in California, I was in Florida.

SPEAKER_01 3:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 3:06

And then where did I go? Then I went to California while he was in Washington. And then, like he said, you know, old uh Dr. Uncle Daddy Lane and K Dog took on Phoenix last week. Took on Phoenix.

SPEAKER_04 3:21

I like Phoenix. I've been to Phoenix a few times. It's uh it's a cool spot.

SPEAKER_05 3:25

But have you ever taken on Phoenix in the purple pimp mobile?

SPEAKER_04 3:30

I have not. I was jealous of the purple pimp mobile.

SPEAKER_01 3:33

Yeah, we totally got to rent a van. That was cool. Yeah. The other option was like a Kia sportage. We're like wide-shouldered.

SPEAKER_04 3:41

Yeah, y'all are a little big for the sportage.

SPEAKER_05 3:43

Well, uh, we we got up to the counter and the guy just looked at me and goes, You two in a sportage? I was like, Well, that's what the company approved. He's like, Well, let me look and see what I can do. Yeah. And then he tried to do the natural thing, which is try to upgrade us and charge us more money. And I was like, Oh, that we can't do that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

Lame was like, I'm not paying anymore.

SPEAKER_05 4:02

I mean, that's literally what I looked at him and said. Um, and then he's like, Well, I've got a van. And you said deal.

SPEAKER_01 4:12

Deal. It's amazing at the bodies you can fit in a van. I mean, uh luggage.

SPEAKER_05 4:18

I mean, the only the the problem with it was the hotel we stayed in didn't have a shower curtain, so it made it real challenging. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:25

You ever wrapped a body in glass?

SPEAKER_04 4:28

It's tough. It's tough. And the the sheets that the hotels use just they don't do a good job anymore.

SPEAKER_01 4:33

No.

SPEAKER_04 4:34

The fluids leak through.

SPEAKER_01 4:35

It always pours through, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:36

Yeah, it's just not it's not a good conducive to getting not caught. Right. But aside from your purple pimp mobile, how how were the travel traveling times? I know I know y'all both got stuck. Y'all both uh had flights get canceled on you.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:54

So so bad for Lane that uh he ended up just being gone for two two straight weeks.

SPEAKER_05 4:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:00

Um, so that was that was rough. But I luckily found another flight. I had to cancel that flight, um, and then just buy a whole nother ticket with a new airline trying to try to flights back home.

SPEAKER_04 5:11

Yeah, trying to get back home from California, right?

SPEAKER_01 5:14

And those were delayed, so I didn't wind up I was at an airport from 9 a.m. that morning, and I didn't get home till 3 a.m. in the morning.

SPEAKER_05 5:25

Wow. Not my worst flight, but you know, I was down in I was in O'Cala, but the closest airport's in Gainesville. Okay. And I don't know how frequently you fly, but if you can avoid it, never fly into a regional airport. Gotcha. Because when I looked at it, there were eight flights total the day that I was flying out. Yeah, that's rough. And so I actually wound up getting bumped from my flight um from uh Gainesville to Charlotte.

SPEAKER_01 6:03

They bumped you but had no problem keeping your luggage.

SPEAKER_05 6:06

Yeah, yeah, they took my luggage. And so, like I you know what I understand, because there's a weight restriction due to the storms and the wind and stuff like that. So they put a weight restriction on it. So I understand that that kind of stuff happens. Yeah the problem that I could not accept was I watched three non this crew AA members like staff. Yeah, they put them on the plane, but didn't put on actual passengers who had paid for tickets. Lane was mad.

SPEAKER_02 6:45

He's got a gun.

SPEAKER_04 6:48

Um I I will say things like that frustrate me. Um I flew I flew through Denver one time. Denver is awful, dude. Um, and when I flew through last time, they were doing a bunch of construction. So like they still are. I just had to fly through Denver. They're always doing construction, I feel like.

SPEAKER_01 7:07

It wasn't bad. Um Denver, I mean, it was it wasn't it wasn't as bad as like Las Vegas. Yeah. Vegas is is gets a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 7:17

I've flown into Vegas a few times. It gets busy, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

Very windy. Yeah. That was a big thing. Uh we know I'm still trying to get used to flying. I am not the biggest fan. Lane's on the flight home, Lane's sitting caddy cornered behind me, and he's just kicking me in the ass every once in a while, reading his book.

SPEAKER_06 7:37

Like, we're taking off. I looked at K-Dog. K Dog's like freaking out. Like, you just see if he's like, I was freaking out.

SPEAKER_01 7:43

I've gotten a lot more used to it, but I mean, those were really smooth flights home, honestly. Our last two flights. Our flights there. Y'all hit some turbulence. We're both looking at each other like, golly, who's driving this bus? Oh man.

SPEAKER_04 7:58

The last time I few flew through Denver, you know, it's like those three main that's A, B, C. I landed on like the first terminal on A and needed to get to the final terminal on C. Like it was a out of a movie.

SPEAKER_05 8:13

That happens every time I go to Charlotte.

SPEAKER_04 8:15

Well, they were doing construction in the B section. So like it was I there's a tiny little corridor that everyone is trying to run through because, like you said, everybody's trying to get across three terminals and to the other side.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:29

Um, I ended up missing that flight. The next flight out was like 13 hours. So I ended up, it was me and two buddies. We ended up just finding some chairs and laying underneath the chairs in shifts. So like two of us would sleep, one would like sit up, read a book, whatever, make sure we nobody touched our shit.

SPEAKER_01 8:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:51

Um, but it was terrible.

SPEAKER_01 8:53

We need we need to do on on this episode, we need to do the worst, worst uh travel. Oh god, I have to do that. Let's do our worst travel.

SPEAKER_05 9:02

Yeah, we'll uh we'll do that on the back end of this episode.

SPEAKER_01 9:04

Yeah, we can because I'm saving one. I got one kind of in the pocket. Oh, you got a bad one? It's you might not consider it that bad. It's kind of funny. Um, it's something Britt and I experienced.

SPEAKER_03 9:16

Heard.

SPEAKER_05 9:16

Well, let me let me just tell you about how my two weeks ago went, and you can just put it for comparison. Yeah, and it's not my worst friend.

SPEAKER_01 9:24

Oh no, I I I probably can't compare it because when when I first traveled, when I first flew for the first time, I thought it was the worst thing ever, right? And then I realized that it can get worse. It gets so much worse.

SPEAKER_05 9:37

Yeah, so we'll get to that. You know, I I'm flying, I'm I'm supposed to fly Gainesville, Charlotte, Birmingham.

SPEAKER_04 9:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:47

Luggage gets on, luggage goes to Charlotte.

SPEAKER_04 9:50

And then to Birmingham.

SPEAKER_05 9:51

And then goes to Birmingham. But they canceled my flight, and they had no more flights to Charlotte that day. So I'm like, okay, that's fine. Just put me on this flight to Dallas, and then I'll fly Dallas to Birmingham. Yeah. Happens all the time, got it scheduled. Lo and behold, I land in Dallas. What's the first thing I see? My flight to Birmingham has been canceled. And so it's already late me getting there. There's no more flights to Birmingham that night. So like the next flight to Birmingham is like 6 a.m. the next day.

SPEAKER_04 10:21

And this puts you getting in Saturday afternoon.

SPEAKER_05 10:25

Uh it would probably be like 8 30 in the morning Saturday if I could get on the 8 a.m. right. Yeah. Um, and so I was like, well, I don't want to, I don't, I don't want to literally fly home, land, turn around Monday morning. I'm coming back to Dallas.

SPEAKER_04 10:44

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 10:45

Like, because I was going Birmingham, Dallas, uh, Ontario, California.

SPEAKER_03 10:49

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_05 10:50

And so I was like, well, I'll just I'll just stay in Dallas for the weekend. And so I called baggage, talked to them. I'm like, hey, my luggage is sitting in Birmingham right now, should be at the baggage claim at the little AA center. Um, and they're like, Yeah, it's it's it's right here. I'm like, okay, well, can you just like put that on a plane to Dallas? And so that way I can pick it up, and so I've got luggage. And they're like, Yeah, we'll even deliver it as long as it's within 50 miles of the airport. Cool. I was like, sweet, here's the address. Um, you know, staying with my buddy. I watched my luggage, and I kid you guys not. I watched it get on a plane on Saturday morning, like first thing in the morning Saturday. It came to Dallas. I watched it get back on a plane and go back to Birmingham. And so I called them again, and they're like, oh my goodness, we're so sorry. We'll have it on like the three o'clock, you'll have it by like seven tonight. I watched to get back on a plane from Birmingham to Dallas. And then I watched you get on a plane from Dallas and go back to Birmingham. And so, like, this is Sunday morning now, and I'm fuming angry because I reasonably wearing the same underwear.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

I've been wearing the same underwear for three days.

SPEAKER_05 12:23

And so I was uh I called them, I'm angry, and I'm trying not to just lose my crap over this, right? And they're like, it'll be there today. And I'm like, okay. And I was like, well, can we put a stipulation in on it that if for whatever reason you cannot get it to Dallas today, can you just have it sent straight to Ontario for me?

SPEAKER_03 12:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 12:56

And they're like, Yeah, we can do that. And then it'll just be send it AA waiting on you. I'm like, golden. So I watched my luggage get on a plane and come from Birmingham to Dallas. And then I watched my luggage get on a plane and go from Dallas to Birmingham.

SPEAKER_08 13:18

God.

SPEAKER_05 13:20

And so, yeah, that happened three times. It went from Dallas to Birmingham, and I'm still trying to get AA to give me all the frequent flyer miles that my bag earned.

SPEAKER_04 13:30

Oh, no, you should remember that trip. You should.

SPEAKER_05 13:33

Wow. Because it's like 1,200 points, like one way.

SPEAKER_04 13:35

I'm like, come on, just yeah, just give me the points.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

Give them to me.

SPEAKER_05 13:38

And so eventually it goes to Ontario. But I wake up Monday morning, and guess what? My flight from Ontario, from Dallas to Ontario has been canceled.

SPEAKER_01 13:49

Lucky devil.

SPEAKER_05 13:51

And so I wind up, they put me on a partner airline. And so now I'm flying from Dallas to Seattle. To Ontario, California. And if you don't know where Ontario, California is, it's like an hour and a half east of LA and like an hour north of San Bernardino. And so ways from Seattle. What should have been a three-hour, three and a half hour flight from Dallas to uh Ontario wound up being like a three hour, three and a half hour flight to Seattle. And then another three-hour flight to Ontario. But there were some positives in this. So I, you know, I'm while I was really upset about the whole thing, I did get to go to my best friend's daughter's third birthday party. And that was cool. That was huge for them on that. Well, that's cool.

SPEAKER_04 14:50

You know, I guess uh I'm just upset we were his best friends. Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_05 14:56

I also I mean you're certain I I'm certainly your best friend.

SPEAKER_04 15:01

I've also learned that uh you should never fly with Lane ever.

SPEAKER_05 15:05

Because uh when I'm when people fly with me, there's never a problem. It's when I'm by myself, you just get fought by yourself.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

Because our uh our connecting flight coming home was delayed like an hour almost or something. And then by the time we got to the airport, it was undelayed. Oh, so okay.

SPEAKER_05 15:24

So the worst worst part of the flight back was that uh the uh the Sky Lounge was at max capacity, so we couldn't hang out in there.

SPEAKER_01 15:31

That was upsetting, which was supposed to be the good Sky Lounge, but I think the the D Sky Lounge was better.

SPEAKER_05 15:38

Yeah, but the bigger the well, the e Sky Lounge had nicer free drinks in it. Oh and we care about those.

SPEAKER_01 15:45

I don't know. They fed us bagels the first one.

SPEAKER_05 15:47

I mean and they had alcohol in there that was free. Yeah, so Caitlin also on this trip got introduced to, as he says, the other one percent loves the other half, you know.

SPEAKER_04 15:57

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:58

So you get the the cool special lounge with all the free food.

SPEAKER_04 16:01

I think we forget because Lane hangs out with us and we're like white trash. Um Lane's a little bougie.

SPEAKER_01 16:08

Yeah, yeah. Um but I'm not though. He definitely grew up with like a washer and dryer and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_04 16:13

He just he just likes the finer things in life, you know.

SPEAKER_05 16:16

Yeah, yeah. I do, and that's why I'm always poor.

SPEAKER_04 16:21

What is it? What is it, uh Mick McDonald's rich, or how do you say that?

SPEAKER_01 16:26

Uh I've I can't say what I know of. I mean, I'm a dollar millionaire.

SPEAKER_04 16:32

No, but there's like a there's a what is it called? A McDonald's millionaire? There's like a there's like slang where uh you know like you you spend a whole lot of money on stuff, but then you can just eat at McDonald's because that's all you can afford. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 16:47

I mean that that that's me, right? Like I mean, cause because you guys know you've seen them, you've both seen my bourbon pantry. Like, you know, some nice bottles in there.

SPEAKER_01 16:56

I'm excited to drink them all. You still driving around with that uh the one bottle?

SPEAKER_05 17:01

Yeah, yeah. There's a there's a bottle of Jack Daniel Sinatra blend sitting in the back of my which I mean I realize it's not like a huge bottle, but I mean too.

SPEAKER_04 17:10

It's still a nice little bottle. Yeah, it's a cool bottle, man. It's a cool bottle. But yeah, I I would give you an update of them what I've been doing, but it's uneventful. I just go to work, man. No flying. No flying, just going to work. Um been working with our uh buddy Jake.

unknown 17:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:27

Uh, you know, we talk about Jake's on fourth all the time.

SPEAKER_01 17:29

And how's that going?

SPEAKER_04 17:31

Uh dude, I I like it. I like it. You know, I'm a I'm a kitchen person at heart. Um, that's where I'm happy. I like the chaos. I like it.

SPEAKER_05 17:40

You always smell like old burnt oil.

SPEAKER_04 17:42

Yes. Yeah, it's baked in it's baked in my skin.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

Um He bleeds vegetable oil.

SPEAKER_04 17:48

Yeah, but that that's been a fun experience. Um, you know, I know we talk about Jake, Jake's on fourth all the time, but separate about it again. Separate separate from the restaurant aspect, like a lot of our buddies just work there. You know, that that that place is kind of the downtown hangout for our crew. Um, so uh they've been paying me to hang out and and do stuff I enjoy to do.

SPEAKER_05 18:12

I mean, I'm really gonna need them to start paying me to hang out.

SPEAKER_04 18:16

Yeah, I mean, I basically Lane basically does all the same stuff I do, except he pays them and they pay me.

SPEAKER_05 18:21

Yeah, well, he keeps the lights on, you know.

SPEAKER_04 18:23

Yeah, I mean somebody's got to.

SPEAKER_05 18:25

I'm paying somebody's paycheck every week while.

SPEAKER_04 18:28

For sure. For sure you are, dude.

SPEAKER_01 18:30

They almost went bankrupt when he missed his flight.

SPEAKER_04 18:33

I wasn't there for a week, so I was like, where is he? Lane was gone for two weeks, and they're like, hey, we're gonna have to take out a loan.

SPEAKER_01 18:39

Like the lights are flickering.

SPEAKER_05 18:42

You know, uh legitimately, I did have some people reach out to me from from down there. Like when I didn't come back.

SPEAKER_01 18:49

Are you okay?

SPEAKER_06 18:50

Hey, are you are you okay, man? We haven't seen you in like two weeks.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

That's irregular.

SPEAKER_08 18:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

I seen a story about something like that where the guy, uh, an older gentleman was coming in eating the same time every day, and then one day he missed, and then he missed the next day. It was because he had fallen at his house down the street, and so the owner went to check on him because he hadn't seen him. Yeah, he was he couldn't get to anybody or a phone or anything. Yeah, it was it was crazy.

SPEAKER_04 19:18

So basically, what Calen is saying is going to Jake's every single day and eating will save your life one day.

SPEAKER_05 19:23

Very possible. Are you okay? I see that's what my buddy Joe does.

SPEAKER_04 19:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 19:28

You know, Joe's down there every day.

SPEAKER_04 19:30

Every day. Every day. I wonder, dude.

SPEAKER_05 19:33

Wonder how he made it this week with them being closed.

SPEAKER_01 19:35

I don't know. He's still down there. Yeah. He's just standing at the door, looking through the peering in, looking at you through the glass.

SPEAKER_04 19:45

Yeah, yeah. But man, I'm I'm glad to be back. I've been I've been missing it. Uh hanging out with you guys. We have too. Obviously, but the podcast as well, you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 19:53

Yeah. I think like realistically, if I had to break it down, I think it means more to me that we get together and record this podcast than how many people listen to the podcast, you know.

SPEAKER_04 20:05

Right. And I get to enjoy uh you bringing weird beers and Caitlin trying to not act like he's disgusted by them. Bitter beers, bitter beers. But yeah, it's uh it's been an interesting month.

SPEAKER_01 20:19

Um I don't know. It's been hot enough for some beer some cold beers, man. It's been super hot. We so it was 104 our last day in Arizona, and you could stand out in it and barely start like you know, sweating just a hair. Yeah. We came as soon as we got off the plane in Alabama. It's like 81 degrees. And me and him was walking the car pouring.

SPEAKER_06 20:46

I didn't make it back to the car before I broke a sweat. We were like, God, just walking through soup.

SPEAKER_04 20:52

Yeah. I think I called you one day last week when my dog got out three days in a row. And I called you and I was like, Kaylin, I've changed clothes three times today, and I've sweated through every single pair of them. I was mad that day. That's the most mad I've been in a while.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

Yeah, it's definitely a dry heat out there, man.

SPEAKER_05 21:11

Yeah, it's a wild thing because like in the thing that most people don't realize is while they're very different heats, it feels more manageable out there, but you're probably at a greater risk for um like heat illness.

SPEAKER_01 21:27

Yeah, because out there it's it's weird, and I felt it a few times, not like bad, but it's like a a little fever chill you get, which was weird. I felt it we were going into that restaurant, and I was like, why don't I just get it like a little chill?

SPEAKER_04 21:43

I wonder if it I wonder if it has something to do with like you saying, Oh, I can stand out there and I don't really get all that sweaty. I wonder if it's here you start sweating and you kind of burn off some of that, or not burn off, but I just remember feeling that and I was like, I heard about that, you know, and I was like, Oh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 22:01

I mean it's like you realize it, right? Yeah. Like when you're with your gears, like you know, here I am drenched in sweat and it's not all evaporating. Like when you're out there, I mean you're you're sweating, but you're it's it's evaporating off of you so quickly.

SPEAKER_04 22:16

Because it's so dry out there. Yeah. But it was a good thing when you were with Uncle Lane. He's like that uh athletic trainer in that SNL skit.

SPEAKER_07 22:24

We gotta cool him down.

SPEAKER_04 22:26

We gotta cool him down.

SPEAKER_05 22:27

You better believe the first thing I'm doing if I suspect heat exhaustion is you're getting naked, big boy. We're taking erectile temp one way or another.

SPEAKER_04 22:34

We have to cool his and we have to cool his internal temperature. Yeah, you know that skit I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_01 22:40

I do yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_04 22:41

Yeah, they pull out those ice rods. We've got to cool him down.

SPEAKER_05 22:45

Those are those are actually a real thing. I've never used them, never been tempted to use them.

SPEAKER_04 22:50

Line, you don't have to lie to me. I know I know you use them.

SPEAKER_05 22:52

Well, I use them on myself. It's different.

SPEAKER_04 22:54

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 22:55

Ooh, it's cold.

SPEAKER_04 23:00

The funniest part of that skit is at the end of it where the coach falls out and he's like, move, I've got to cool them down. And the players are all standing there laughing. I gotta go back and watch that now. Oh, it's a good skit. It's a good skit.

SPEAKER_05 23:14

He should uh K Dog showed me the Continental Breakfast Key and Peel skit for the first time the other day.

SPEAKER_01 23:20

Me and Brittany laugh about that all the time. So every time I would get to a new place and if we did breakfast, I would send her pictures. I'll have what I'm having. They've got some funny ones. He said, He's like, where should we fly off first? It's like, ah, Greece, where the yogurt flows like water. He said, he said, it's like go-turt, but to stay.

SPEAKER_04 23:52

My favorite Kim Pill skit is the uh East West Bowl. Yes. Sorry. Where it's the all the all the players saying their names and where they went to college at. Quattro Quattro is my my favorite one. They're so good. The funniest part about that sketch is the end of it, where it's like all these crazy names, and then the last guy's Ben Smith, BYU, and it's just a random white guy.

SPEAKER_01 24:15

I think I think one of my favorite was uh the hats where they're they're wearing the hats with a little tag hanging off. Yes. And so one the next day he comes with the bag over it, and then he comes back and it's got like this glass case. Glass case. And he looks up, and there's an Indonesian woman sewing one on a platform strapped to his head. That was hilarious.

SPEAKER_04 24:39

Yeah, they've got some really good ones. So I haven't been able to say this in like a month, and so I'm excited to be able to say it. Lane, what beer are we drinking today?

SPEAKER_05 24:49

Let me tell you. So a few weeks ago, I was in Washington.

SPEAKER_04 24:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 24:54

And I walked into a cool little barbecue spot called Hopp and Grape.

SPEAKER_04 25:00

That's a cool name.

SPEAKER_05 25:01

It is, because it's a like it's a barbecue restaurant in the back, but the front side of the store is a beer and wine store. And so we walked in there and I was like, hey man, can you tell me something local? And he's like, Well, I've got these, and these are Talking Cedar Brewery.

SPEAKER_04 25:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 25:20

These are their Ambers, but they're made in Grand Mound, Washington. And it is proudly brewed on Chihales tribal land. Cool. So we got uh we got a little local Washington brew today, and it's you know, supporting the Native Americans, which I'm always a big fan of.

SPEAKER_01 25:42

Heck yeah.

SPEAKER_05 25:43

Heck yeah. Cool.

SPEAKER_04 25:45

Let's try them. It's a cool looking can.

SPEAKER_01 25:48

Yeah, it's simple, but it's got like some cool uh like is this would you say this flower design, or is that no, that's uh maybe the hop, you know. Yeah, that's what that is.

SPEAKER_04 25:57

I like the font on it. It's cool.

SPEAKER_05 25:59

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 26:02

I've missed that sound. Well, I mean, I've drank a lot of beers in the last month, but I've missed making the sound.

SPEAKER_05 26:08

Sound different in our ears right now. Oh, no doubt.

SPEAKER_04 26:11

Well, if you drink enough bush heavies, it they kind of start to sound like that. Cheers. Cheers to being back, boys. Cheers to being back, and we're back, and we're back.

SPEAKER_05 26:20

So this amber is the go-to beer that you never saw coming. Deep amber color with a light tan foam, smooth, complex maltiness, notes of hazelnut, graham cracker, roasted cocoa nibs, and toasted pumper nickel. Full bodied with a balanced bitterness and a bright succinct finish. 5.4% ABV and 21 IBUs.

SPEAKER_04 26:52

That's pretty good.

SPEAKER_01 26:54

That's pretty smooth for a little 5.4.

SPEAKER_04 26:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 26:58

I'm not mad about that at all.

SPEAKER_04 26:59

Yeah, I feel like the the disclaimer is that yesterday was 4th of July.

SPEAKER_01 27:04

Right.

SPEAKER_04 27:05

And we all had a couple of few beers yesterday.

SPEAKER_01 27:09

Um I got to watch Braden throw up in a waterfall and leak down the waterfall and go under Crystal's chair. She was nauseous.

SPEAKER_04 27:21

Yeah. And it wasn't like all I had been doing is drinking whiskey and porch beers. I knew that you hadn't had too much. No, it was Hank sold me, sold me down the waterfall, I guess, really is what happened. Because he, as I go to pick up a handle of Evan to get a bite, you know. Hank looks at me with his eyes crossed in the middle of telling a joke, and he was on one too. You know, he was on the sauce a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 27:53

He was definitely on the sauce.

SPEAKER_04 27:56

I laughed, and when I laughed, Evan Williams shot out of my nose. And I don't know if y'all have experienced that, but I immediately projectile vomited and was still while I'm puking, I'm laughing.

SPEAKER_01 28:09

Yeah, you were laughing. I was like, puking rally.

SPEAKER_04 28:12

Yeah. And then everybody started screaming at me while I'm puking. I'm looking at Crystal, just I felt she's trying to hold it together.

SPEAKER_01 28:21

She just placed her chair in the water. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 28:24

It couldn't have been worse. It couldn't have been worse.

SPEAKER_05 28:27

There is no worse scenario than that one.

SPEAKER_01 28:29

Um she was like, we're like, keep your feet up.

SPEAKER_04 28:34

Yeah, but then uh immediately I was like, oh, my mouth kind of tastes like vomit. Oh, look, there's Evan in my hand. I'll take a swig.

SPEAKER_01 28:42

Finish that off. Yeah. Did you ever catch the buzz you were looking for, though? Because we were talking, you were like, something's wrong. I can't catch a buzz.

SPEAKER_04 28:50

No, dude. I was so pissed off. I was drinking wild turkey in the morning because you can't drink all day if you don't start drinking in the morning.

SPEAKER_01 28:57

I think you might have started over. I wonder if you got and just you know what I'm saying? They say you can drink yourself sober. I guess so.

SPEAKER_04 29:04

I don't know if that's true because I've never done it, but man, I and I I was drinking yesterday, but I I don't know if I've been on my one meal a day like fasting diet. I wonder if my metabolism's like picked up or something. Because I'm drinking the same God, I sound like an alcoholic. I'm drinking the same that I always drink, but I'm just not getting the buzz.

SPEAKER_05 29:27

So Well, you know, and the thing is, and this is something I was watching a study that somebody had done the other day, and this is a little bit of my nerdy science-y side.

SPEAKER_04 29:37

Drop some packs on us. I'm gonna drink this delicious amber while you're dropping science.

SPEAKER_05 29:42

It's not not delicious. And so a lot of it has to do with your emotional state when you start drinking. Because there are times that you drink, and I'm not saying that you're not getting drunk, right? Yeah. So they conducted this study and they took people at different emotional levels, like they're keyed up, they're sad, and they did all these studies on them. And this and what they came up with was like they based their feeling. But what they did was they breathalized all of them. And so some of them like blew like 1.5s.

SPEAKER_04 30:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 30:17

Or 0.15s.

SPEAKER_04 30:18

I was gonna say, if they blew a 1.5, they'd be dead.

SPEAKER_05 30:21

Um but uh but yeah, but they blew a 0.15, which is you know almost double limit. That's you know, generally considered like blackout level, and they were like, I'm perfectly fine. Yeah, but it was based solely on their emotional level when they went into drinking.

SPEAKER_04 30:35

Gotcha. Wow. I started drinking when I was in the middle of smoking a pork, but I was very focused. And like that morning, I I got a good little buzz rocking. Um, but I don't know. I think part of it is like it was very hot as well. So maybe I was like sweating it out. It's like, you know, you can work in the yard and drink a case of beer and not get drunk. So maybe it has long as you're sweating, yeah. Maybe it was that. It was real hot.

SPEAKER_05 30:59

Yeah, but K Dog put me on the struggle bus yesterday. Yeah, actually, it wasn't K Dog, it was Brittany put me on the struggle bus yesterday. Because, you know, I came over, hung out with y'all, had a one seven Brewski's couple of pulls off that bot eleven.

SPEAKER_04 31:15

Well, I I did show up with two of your favorite beers as well. Yeah. So I'll t I'll take some of the blame for that.

SPEAKER_05 31:20

Well, the the problem was I was completely fine after that. But then I had to go and do like family 4th of July, which was fine. It was great, and I had a great time with my family. So I'm not taking away from that. But then Britney calls me and like I'm actively on the pooper. Yeah. And so Brittany calls me, she's like, Line, where are you? And I'm like, Brittany, I'm trying to poop. And she's like, Stop. She's like, come to my house. And I was like, oh dear lord, because I could tell, and I was like, oh man, they told me they were gonna party all night, so something, you know.

SPEAKER_01 32:02

Brittany had so naturally, as some of our friends do, they you know, you're drinking pretty heavy. We know these parties, right? Yeah, you're drinking pretty heavy. Something, you know, somebody starts getting loud. Britt wants to get loud too. I see and nothing happened, yeah, but I seen the direction on the wall was there, and I called it.

SPEAKER_03 32:29

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:30

And so on the way home, and which she was fine, like, but on the way home, she was like, Y'all come to the house and let's keep going, you know.

SPEAKER_03 32:38

Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_01 32:38

But no, it wasn't, it was chill though, you know. It was it like Lane came over, uh, Haley came over, and we were just we just literally sat here and talked and had a couple more, you know. Yeah, didn't wasn't wasn't a thing.

SPEAKER_05 32:51

So the problem for me is I don't know if you guys have this problem, but if I drink, catch a slight buzz, and then uh peel off for five hours. You can't do that. And then I had that like like Brittany handed me that beer as soon as I walked in the door, and I was like, Oh no, it's nap time.

SPEAKER_01 33:11

Yeah, oh I know exactly what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_04 33:13

If I get to rolling, I gotta keep going.

SPEAKER_01 33:15

And I thought she was getting to the point of where like she was she was wanting to nap herself, you know what I'm saying? She was like, I'm tired. But no, it was like she just bounced right back, and then she was like, pickle shots or picklebacks, yeah, picklebacks.

SPEAKER_04 33:28

We did picklebacks, less. I'm sorry, I'm sorry you had to do that.

SPEAKER_01 33:32

So I never done a pickleback until last night. And let me tell you this, it absolutely kills the whiskey. But I have had a pickleback?

SPEAKER_04 33:41

I have, and I like whiskey and hate pickle juice.

SPEAKER_01 33:44

Well, I'm just saying, as far as any burn, like any of the little after effect, obsolete.

SPEAKER_04 33:50

Part of the pleasure in whiskey is that hurts me a little bit. You know, you've seen my taste in women. You know my wife. You know, all the things your husband, all the things I love in life hurt me a little bit.

SPEAKER_05 34:02

I love her. Boys, we got uh we got rolling on one here a little bit, but um, we need to uh rein our own back in and give these beautiful people some rankings for this delicious.

SPEAKER_01 34:11

Sorry, guys, we haven't talked in a while.

SPEAKER_05 34:13

Yeah, I'm just enjoying the beer, man.

SPEAKER_04 34:14

I'm enjoying the beer. Uh no, it's very good. So what would you would you classify this as like if you if I'll just give an example. We go to Jake's, right? As we do. Sitting at the bar, are you like you're eating this with drinking this while you're eating dinner, you're having two, three, four, seventeen of them? Because I feel like I could.

SPEAKER_05 34:36

Yeah, you know, it is it feels surprisingly light to be a full-bodied amber beer. Yeah. So um, yeah, I would I wouldn't just be tossing these bad boys back all night. No, I mean get heavy. This would be a a with a meal drink for me for sure.

SPEAKER_04 34:56

Yeah, no, I like them. They're they sit in a really nice place where um sometimes even like a a uh a regular beer, like a Bush Heavy or a Budweiser, to me, they still don't have a ton of flavor. It's just kind of one note beer flavor.

SPEAKER_05 35:15

Well, that's your that's your lager. Yeah, yeah. They're they're designed to be that way.

SPEAKER_04 35:18

This to me is the same heaviness as like a Budweiser, but it's got a lot more flavor to it. Um, and that to me, if I'm gonna drink a full-bodied beer, the reason I'm drinking it is because I want that that flavor. Now, I have been known to drink several Budweisers and Bush Heavies, aka pork chops. Um, I ain't got a problem with them. But I think I would probably prefer this over like just a Budweiser or a Bush Heavy. Stir dog's gonna be mad at me for that saying that.

SPEAKER_05 35:49

I mean, I can tell you that taste-wise, I would rather have these, but unfortunately, my wallet on the other hand will continue to drink.

SPEAKER_04 35:57

But but do you do you not think it kind of occupies that same space? Because to me, this is gonna make me just as full as drinking a uh a Budweiser would, but it's got a lot more to it.

SPEAKER_05 36:07

Yeah, yeah, it would, but like with the flavor profile with it, I'm it's just far elevated.

SPEAKER_04 36:14

Yeah, but just talking about like the fullness of it, you know what I mean? Uh, because that to me is the main drawback of drinking a full-bodied beer is you drank two of them and you felt like you just ate two subway footlongs. You know, you just get full quick.

SPEAKER_05 36:30

About 17 of these, and I'd probably be done.

SPEAKER_04 36:32

Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely. And then and then done with beer and then switch to whiskey. Um I I like it. I like it a lot. I'm gonna go um get one more sip. Do it. I'm gonna go four flat.

SPEAKER_01 36:56

Four flat.

SPEAKER_04 36:57

Four flat. Okay. Good beer. Good beer. I drink a lot of them.

SPEAKER_01 37:01

I I'm rather enjoying this actually. Um, he took like three sips of it. I'm actually down to five sips. Um it's very smooth. It is. It's I like it. It's very smooth. It doesn't really feel too heavy. I don't think I say that this is not something that I would like to just drink a lot of, but I could probably do a six or of these, you know what I'm saying? And that's rare for me in something like an amber, you know.

SPEAKER_04 37:28

I do think it's very important that this beer is cold because I think if it was warm, it would not be a little bit more.

SPEAKER_05 37:33

This is not a porch light or a garage beer.

SPEAKER_04 37:36

Yeah, no, it needs to be cold for sure.

SPEAKER_01 37:40

Which kudos on bringing the garage and porch beers yesterday in the porch and garage beer buckets.

SPEAKER_04 37:46

Yeah, I gotta go to Cody's and get those buckets.

SPEAKER_01 37:48

Which was pretty epic, actually. Yeah. Um, no, I'm gonna give this a solid 4-3. 4-3? I'm gonna give this a 4-3. It's a big rating, dude. For me, definitely for for Amber. Yeah. Um, but you know, this is this is a little something different, you know. Maybe my maybe my Indian background's coming out a little bit, you know.

SPEAKER_05 38:07

Or maybe the fact I made them try about 10 different beers this last week. One of them just kept going.

SPEAKER_04 38:13

One of my favorite things about this show is that um, I don't know about Lane, because Lane, as mentioned earlier in the show, is quite bougie. But um, there have been a lot of beers that I've tried on this show that I'm it's not that I wouldn't like them, but it was just, you know, I'm on the way home from work, I'm not gonna grab a uh a king of the mountain. You know, that's just not my cup of tea. That's your fault. But we but we ended up trying them, and now I'm absolutely they're they're in my fridge right now. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 38:47

They are good.

SPEAKER_04 38:47

They're good.

SPEAKER_05 38:48

Well, I can tell you where they're not right now, and that's because uh all of you beautiful listeners bought them all up from Tammy's. Miss Tammy is completely sold out of King of the Mountains. And I talked to her about today, she's like, Yeah, they came in talking about your show, and you know, you guys bought every one of them we had.

SPEAKER_01 39:07

Yeah, so yeah, we we definitely appreciate that. Um Miss Tammy definitely appreciates that.

SPEAKER_04 39:13

And good on y'all for trying it because it's absolutely awesome.

SPEAKER_01 39:16

Yeah, no, you're gonna you might learn some things with this show after all, you know.

SPEAKER_04 39:20

But you know, I I've really enjoyed giving those beers a try, and you know, K Dog self admittedly is a little bit basic when it comes to beer. And uh there have been some beers that I think you've tried where you're like, hey, this isn't really my cup of tea, but it's it's kind of it's kind of good.

SPEAKER_05 39:37

Um then you've got me on the other hand, and K Dog actually got to witness this firsthand this week. We went into this great little sports bar, uh kind of a high-end sports bar. It was called the Thirsty Lion.

SPEAKER_04 39:52

Another great name.

SPEAKER_05 39:53

It was a great, really good little spot. And that is and let me tell you guys this. If you travel at all, if you ever do travel, always ask your hotel desk person, where do I need to go and eat? Yeah, where's the spot? Because there is no way we would have just like popped that up if I searched restaurants near me. There's no way I'd be like, oh, let's do the thirsty line. But I asked him and he's like, You've got to go to the thirsty line.

SPEAKER_01 40:24

The food was next to none. It was great. And and it was kind of bar food, but with a class on it. Yeah. Yeah. So elevated. It was elevated. It was like one of the like best bacon cheeseburgers, gourmet style. You know what I'm saying? Like he had Wagyu beef for the first time. I don't think it was the first time I've had it, but probably, yeah. Um, no, it was great. Um yeah, I do need to pop a little rating on this thing, I guess. And cold beer. The beers could have been colder, in my opinion. But we're coming from somebody that tried to have the coldest beers in town with par.

SPEAKER_03 41:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:06

I like a cold beer. Um but no, other than that, no, it was it was really good. And to be kind of on the high-end side, it wasn't that expensive, which was surprising. I mean, yeah, you could have paid 40 bucks for a big steak, you know, or whatever, but their bar food was killer. And I'm telling you, they had like they had a huge lunch menu and huge happy hour menu, which was pretty cool.

SPEAKER_05 41:33

They were even running a World Cup deal where you could get like I think you had your choice between a Michelob and a Stella. And then like it had a list of food you could get, and like with the Michelobe, it was like 12 bucks and like 16 bucks with the Stella.

SPEAKER_01 41:51

That's not too bad, man. No. We ate so much on this trip that by the end we he took me to the spot and he was like, I really want you to try this. I was so miserable. I like literally ordered cheese fries. I was like, I'm done. I was like, I'm fin. We fly out eight in the morning. Um I was like, I can't eat anything else on this trip.

SPEAKER_04 42:15

Lane, tell us what you think about the beer.

SPEAKER_05 42:17

Man, this is a absolutely beautiful beer.

SPEAKER_04 42:20

It's great. I agree.

SPEAKER_05 42:21

I think that I'm gonna come in with a four and a quarter on this beer. Four and a quarter on this beer right here. Um huge shout out to Hopp and Grape, the place where I picked him up at. Huge shout out to the Shahalas tribal people. Yeah. And a uh huge shout out to uh this here beer, because it's uh quite delightful.

SPEAKER_04 42:48

Yeah, I'm I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying it. Um so uh yesterday was the fourth. It was.

SPEAKER_01 42:58

We had a little fitty.

SPEAKER_04 43:00

Too fitty. Uh we had a nice little get together with some of our amigos.

SPEAKER_01 43:04

It was a good time, man.

SPEAKER_04 43:05

Some new faces for me. Um I know probably not new faces for you.

SPEAKER_01 43:12

Um yeah, I I mean I knew everybody. Yeah, um, outside of someone that stopped by for a minute that was picking something up.

SPEAKER_04 43:21

Oh, I missed that. Um, but that was cool. Nice little um nice little get together. Ended up eating way too much food.

SPEAKER_01 43:30

Dude, it was so hard to catch a buzz at the end. Yeah because like we had just ate and everybody got in the water, and I was like, I was kind of quiet at first, you know. I was like, I've got to burp this this pocket up, you know.

SPEAKER_04 43:44

It's good food though. Good food, good people.

SPEAKER_01 43:46

Yeah, they they're killer. I will tell I will say this shout out to uh Caleb who made the jalapeno poppers. They're called something else, though.

SPEAKER_04 43:55

Atomic Buffalo turds.

SPEAKER_01 43:58

So they were so good. But he hid like little bombs in there. I don't know if y'all ate any. But I just had one. Me and Rooster was eating them, and like every once in a while you would get one that you just couldn't stomach. It was so hot.

SPEAKER_04 44:12

Really?

SPEAKER_01 44:13

And he was like, Oh yeah, I had like some different peppers and I just kind of mixed them up. I was like, You're sick.

SPEAKER_04 44:18

Yeah, I just did I just ate one because I dude, I had so much. You know, when you you can't hold the plate like normal, you gotta come from the bottom and like spread your hands. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:29

I had one of them, them Johns, you know, and Which is always terrible right before you're about to drink.

SPEAKER_04 44:35

Oh, but I didn't care. Like everything just looks so good. It was. And so I I had one of those, and I'm so fat that not not even the folded plate. I was trying to stack a glizzy on top of it. You know what I mean? Like trying to find a balance point from my hot dog. I wasn't able to. So as I'm walking back to my chair, I'm just housing a hot dog because I don't have anywhere to set it down.

SPEAKER_05 44:59

That man loves a wiener in his mouth, don't he? I love a glizzy.

SPEAKER_01 45:03

Well, shout out on glizzies to um Cody Ward. We went to the concert the other night. He did the hot dog eating contest and won. Dude, he was like 10 ahead.

SPEAKER_04 45:15

If there's one thing that Cody Ward can do, it's throw down some glizzies.

SPEAKER_01 45:18

Bro, he was like in game mode, and Britney was saying things to motivate him that I cannot say on this podcast. And uh, so no, I I was down on his face. I was like, You better not quit. You better not quit.

SPEAKER_03 45:31

The funny thing.

SPEAKER_01 45:32

We didn't realize at that time that he was so far ahead. Like we're looking around at everybody else, we're like, oh bro, you can stop now, actually. No, he didn't. He was like, and he had like this whole thing mapped out where he's like, I'm gonna bite half of one, start unraveling another one. And he just had this system and they were just going. And you could see him start to get like, oh man, hold on now.

SPEAKER_04 45:56

Did he puke afterwards?

SPEAKER_01 45:57

Well, we'll talk about that here. He he did give some back later on in the night.

SPEAKER_04 46:03

Well, there's like a rule, right? You you gotta hold it down for so long.

SPEAKER_01 46:05

Oh, yeah. And it was like three hours later.

SPEAKER_04 46:07

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01 46:08

He was like, well, and he would he was keeping them down, and he was like trying to drink, you know what I'm saying? He was like, That it's just not mixing. He's like, I'm gonna get rid of them. He came back out, he's like, I need a liquor drink.

SPEAKER_04 46:20

The the funniest part of it was you know, his dad was there yesterday, and I got there a little bit before y'all, and uh the first thing I said when I walked in the door, I was like, Cody, had the glizsies go. And so we got to talking about it. And uh dude, his dad was sitting there, and Cody got serious as a heart attack, dude. And he said, No, I knew I was gonna win. I had this whole strategy planned out. He really did. And he talked about the the day of he he was thinking about it when he woke up that morning, he what he ate that day. He worked in the yard, like no greasy foods. Like he had a plan. He really took serious mailing cooler, man.

SPEAKER_01 46:58

Yeah, he took it serious. Did you see the photo at the end we took with the with the band? Yeah, no, he yeah, he wanted, he got it. Um, but no, it was uh it was a cool as soon as they started it. He's sitting at the table and he's you just see him using like this locked in, and then they start playing Thunder A C D C and I was like, This is yours, it's over, and then it started storming like right at the end of it. So he's locked in. Was it 10 minutes? 10 minutes? He ate 17 hot dogs. How how long?

SPEAKER_04 47:31

In 10 minutes. 10 minutes? That's pretty quick. I don't know that I could do any better. But it is crazy to me that Joey Chestnut's record's like 73 in that same time.

SPEAKER_01 47:40

There was a there was a big guy next to him, and he's seen the system. Like as soon as they started, he just eating, he just kind of looks over at Cody and he's like, Oh yeah, it's yours. He gave up in that moment.

SPEAKER_07 47:51

Like they were letting it straight with the olives in the hall with the American wicked gasoline in the ladder and I get it full of aluminum bomb.

SPEAKER_04 49:54

Did y'all see that uh the question I sent this morning in the group chat?

SPEAKER_05 49:58

I did not.

SPEAKER_04 49:59

So I would like to pose you each a question.

SPEAKER_05 50:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 50:04

You're standing on a track, an Olympic track and field track. In the inside lane, there's Hugh Saint Bowl. Arguably the greatest hundred-meter dasher to ever live.

SPEAKER_08 50:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 50:20

In the second lane, there is Joey Chestnut. The challenge is they both have to eat one hot dog and complete a hundred meter dash. Who do you think wins that race? They have to eat one hot dog? They have to consume one hot dog completely and then run 100 meters. For reference, I think Hussein Bolt runs his 100 meters in like eight eight seconds. I I would say if it was more hot dogs. Just one hot dog. But you gotta.

SPEAKER_01 50:56

One hot dog? I mean, come on.

SPEAKER_04 50:57

Cody ate 17 in 10 minutes. So you're talking about at least greater than 30 seconds. Hugh Saint Bolt runs his in eight seconds. Joey Chestnut can eat one hot dog in five, ten seconds, probably.

SPEAKER_01 51:14

I don't think he's beaten that one. Now, if they had to eat a plate of them and go, Chestnut all.

SPEAKER_04 51:19

Okay, so how many hot dogs until Joey Chestnut wins the race? I would say ten dogs.

SPEAKER_01 51:25

Ten dogs? Ten dogs. I'll go seven. He would he would devour ten dogs without thinking about it. And he's not a large man.

unknown 51:35

No.

SPEAKER_01 51:36

He can probably run, you know. He's gone.

SPEAKER_04 51:39

I think the average human can probably run 100 meters in 27.

SPEAKER_01 51:43

But the guy that's probably used to eating nothing because he was one of the greatest.

SPEAKER_04 51:47

I think it's way less. I think I I think one is probably close. You know, I think Hussein's probably gonna win that.

SPEAKER_01 51:55

I don't think chestnut's winning with one. I think two. I think anybody can down a glizzy. Like how fast do you think you could eat a hot dog? You already know. Like, you know what I'm saying? I would I'm serious, like how is it? I mean, um what? Probably finish a hot dog in 20 seconds? Chew it and swallow it. You got a clear, clear mouth. In a in a challenge situation?

SPEAKER_04 52:19

Yeah. 20 seconds? No matter what it does to me, I'm doing it. You know what I'm saying? You think so?

SPEAKER_01 52:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 52:24

I don't think anybody's doing it in our friend group in under 30 seconds. Even Cody. Even Cody. Yeah, you should have seen Cody.

SPEAKER_01 52:31

Cody, they were two bites.

SPEAKER_04 52:33

The math is less than 30 seconds a dog.

SPEAKER_01 52:35

There were two bites. You know what I'm saying? Like he was just like bop bop.

SPEAKER_04 52:38

Yeah. But the math, he ate 17 in 10 minutes.

SPEAKER_05 52:41

So that's well, but the thing is, you're you're gonna look at straight math. Yeah. Math doesn't like that math doesn't work that way. Because truth of the matter is averages, but Cody probably smashed 10 of those hot dogs in the first four minutes. And then at that point he's he's struggling. Like once you start getting full, because you know, if you've ever watched that Nathan's hot dog eating contest, like Joey's smashing them out the door, and then like even he's slowing down himself a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 53:13

I wonder how fast does Joey Chestnut eat one hot dog?

SPEAKER_05 53:16

Well, this year he ate 67, which is not his personal best. I think 73. I don't remember 10 minutes.

SPEAKER_04 53:24

Is it is it 10 minutes? It's 10 minutes, I believe.

SPEAKER_01 53:26

Dude, and they're just soaking them in water.

SPEAKER_04 53:28

They're just housing them.

SPEAKER_01 53:30

How fast and Cody was doing like he was sipping water, so he wasn't trying to like he wasn't dousing them. But he was doing the ketchup mustard thing, man. He was he was bop and tearing them up. But I will say, after after the competition, all the rain started, we just got we all got free hot dogs, which was epic. I will say this though, at the end of the show, right before Dallas Taylor started caution, he threw a hot dog because they had a whole thing of them left over and they were throwing them to the crowd. Dallas grabs the last hot dog and throws it. It nearly centers Nan in the face, and I caught it in front of her face. I caught it in front of her face. So if you if you zoom in on the picture we took on stage with them, I'm holding up the hot dog.

SPEAKER_04 54:19

Joey Chestnut eats a hot dog in about 7.2 seconds.

SPEAKER_05 54:26

That's insane.

SPEAKER_04 54:28

He averages six six point six hot dogs per minute.

SPEAKER_01 54:33

Have you ever seen how the cone heads eat Subway sandwiches?

SPEAKER_04 54:38

So the best in the world eats one hot dog in seven seconds. Yeah. You think you can uh do it in close to that time?

SPEAKER_05 54:48

But is you know it is close relatively, but that's still three times as long.

SPEAKER_01 54:55

I think on one off, I could I I could do it. Just one hot dog. I can't. I think we need to I can test it.

SPEAKER_04 55:01

I could act like I just want to see I just don't know. I don't think that one is enough because I don't think Joey Chestnut can run a sub-20 hundred meter dash.

SPEAKER_01 55:13

No.

SPEAKER_04 55:13

So even if it takes Hugh Saint Bolt twelve seconds to eat a hot dog, he still can finish it and run it. Because it takes Joey seven.

SPEAKER_01 55:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:25

So yeah, I just don't I don't see it happening. I think Hugh Saint Bolt could do it within 15, 20 seconds.

SPEAKER_01 55:31

You don't think that Bolt would like just about swallow it whole?

SPEAKER_04 55:36

He's a large human too. I think he's like almost seven feet tall.

SPEAKER_05 55:39

I mean, the the thing is, like, I mean, the the man's been starving his whole life. He may look at that hot dog and just suck it down.

SPEAKER_02 55:46

He may be the new champion.

SPEAKER_05 55:48

I I don't think he could eat many of them, but I think like one just now I don't have to eat for the next week.

SPEAKER_04 55:54

In the video, was Cody was going ketchup mustard too, right? He had a little bowl. Had a little dippy dip. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 56:00

And he was, I mean, boom, half a dog. Do you think he'd lay that one down and start unraveling another one? And then eventually he was catching up to himself, so he had a couple of them going.

SPEAKER_03 56:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 56:10

And then I was like, man, tell him to grab the hot dog and squish the mask down. And then they were kind of flowing, you know what I'm saying? I was like, yeah, get rid of that. Get rid of the you know, the bulk of it.

SPEAKER_05 56:23

So we do have to shout out our boy Joey Chestnut, though. Because he won his 18th title. Title.

SPEAKER_04 56:33

But you know, he he he's not just a hot dog eater. He's got like I think he's got like 18 different world records.

SPEAKER_05 56:39

Yeah, as you say, he holds a lot. But we don't we don't think about it often like this this is his event, right? Yeah, yeah. He holds more titles than Michael Jordan. Is there a case to be made that he's the greatest of all time athlete? Just hear me out here. He holds more titles than Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, all combined. He might be the greatest athlete of all time.

SPEAKER_01 57:07

It's two different levels. He may have the greatest stomach of all time. That's about it.

SPEAKER_05 57:12

You know, on a on a separate or well, same but separate note, uh, Mika Sudo, who was the women's winner this year, she won her 12th.

SPEAKER_04 57:20

How many did she eat? Well, I wonder what the differential is.

SPEAKER_05 57:22

I don't know how many she ate specifically, but we can see.

SPEAKER_04 57:27

That's crazy. If you had to competitively eat a food, what would be your food?

SPEAKER_05 57:32

Viny sausages.

SPEAKER_04 57:33

Viny sausages? How many sausages you think you could eat in 10 minutes?

SPEAKER_05 57:40

Dude, I would just like if I could find a way to do it, I'd just be ripping open the whole can, just shoving like packs on my mouth.

SPEAKER_01 57:46

Like, what's a seven in one? I don't know if you never had them where they get stuck.

SPEAKER_04 57:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:50

You would fight longer trying to get them out of the can.

SPEAKER_04 57:52

Vina sausage is probably not a bad play because I don't even think you have to chew them. I think those are just big pills.

SPEAKER_01 57:57

They do just kind of fall apart. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 57:59

I think you're just going, those are going down.

SPEAKER_01 58:03

It reminds me of that video that was circulating years ago. The uh the dude in the trailer park with the the pack of weenies. Yeah. He's just inhaling them and then shooting them back up out of his throat.

SPEAKER_04 58:14

Uh 38 and three quarters. 38 glizzies, dude. Is she a bit is she a larger lady?

SPEAKER_01 58:23

That's the crazy thing. I remember when the guy was winning. I remember when the guy was winning, not um chestnut, but there was another guy. I think he was Asian.

SPEAKER_05 58:34

Yeah, uh.

SPEAKER_01 58:35

So I remember watching a little documentary on him, and like he would eat these big bowls of salad like the night before to stretch his stomach out as much as he could. And he would have a bowl, dude, that looked like uh what do you get at uh Olive Garden, you know, on the table? Yeah. And he would just be down in just pure lettuce. Killing it and stretching the stomach out. I told I told uh Cody that too.

SPEAKER_04 59:01

I was like, eat a salad for it, and you go to bed and he said he didn't do it, but so yours is vina sausages. If you had to competitively eat a food, what would yours be?

SPEAKER_01 59:11

Competitively eat a food.

SPEAKER_04 59:13

Yeah, what food do you think you could eat the most of in ten minutes?

SPEAKER_05 59:16

I think I could swallow a viny hole. No, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 59:21

They're just pills, you're just taking them. Um I don't know. I know mine immediately. And I don't think there's a human being on the face of the earth that could eat more than me. Can I get barbecue flavored? Hot crispy cream donuts. Oh, just dude, I could eat a million because they're nothing when they're hot, they do. They just crumble up.

SPEAKER_05 59:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 59:46

Now afterwards, I'm gonna have to puke. Like violently. Really? Dude, you could think about how much sugar that is. Oh yeah. But I think I could in ten minutes. Probably 70, 60 or 70. What? I'm thinking I can probably eat one every 10 seconds.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:05

God, I couldn't eat sweets like that. I couldn't. I don't think I could eat anything like that at all.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:10

But you're not, you're not gonna feel it in that 10 minutes.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:13

Well, unless you had uh diabetes you didn't know about.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:18

You're gonna have diabetes afterwards. If you didn't, you will now. Yeah, I think I could probably eat if they are genuinely like hot.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:26

Like, you know, when the light is on and you go by and like you pick it up and it kind of falls apart. But 70? I think I could eat one every 10 seconds. Because it's one by. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:37

Just would you not be so I don't know. No, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:40

I'm gonna I'm gonna be so I'm gonna be so sick afterwards. Oh yeah. But they're just air.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:45

Are we gonna have to test this?

SPEAKER_06 1:00:47

Like I've like I've thought about it.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:48

I was like, who's pay who's running the bill on this?

SPEAKER_04 1:00:51

Hey, if y'all want to sponsor the trip to the beer store eating contest, we'll we'll see.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:56

We will absolutely record it and we'll, you know, within reason, we'll eat pretty much whatever he challenges.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:03

So Lane is taking veiny sausages like their ivy proteins.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:07

Oh, yeah, just that one's gone.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:10

Mine's hot. Is it hot and ready? That's little Caesars. Yeah, what hot? Oh, I don't know. We just always called it the hot side. I think it may just be it just says hot, right? Hot nail. Hot nail.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:21

I don't even know.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:22

Uh, yeah, mine is hot crispy cream donuts.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:25

K Dog, what is yours? Man, I I just don't know. Like, I'm trying to think of something that I could just devour a ton of. I'm I'm thinking something like uh I could I could probably, and y'all may be on the same page, the freshest crystal burger.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:45

Oh, I could smash a crystal.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:48

You could easily that's a bite. Eat 24 crystal burgers.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:54

Yeah, that might be miserable.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:56

But that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:57

Like something in college, I did that on the regular.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:00

How many and we barely ever eat crystals? Because I mean it is terrible for you, but at the same time, those nights where you you just gotta have it, you can just sit there and eat them, and before you know it, you're like, I'm a piece of junk.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:15

Oh, absolutely. Damn, crystals gave me an empty fucking bag.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:19

How many how many crystals do you think you could eat in 10 minutes? In 10 minutes? In ten minutes.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:26

I could I could eat 24 crystals in 10 minutes. Oh, I think it's way more. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:30

I think you would get sick, but I think it's way more.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:33

Like I can tell you that there's been nights that I've been I'm not talking about like the the stale ones where you No, fresh where the bun is soft. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:41

Because that's one bite. Right. I'm thinking you're eating three a minute.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:48

Yeah, I mean, I guess I'm underplaying that just a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:51

Three a minute.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:52

I don't know, man. I'm in ten minutes. I mean, that's thirty. I could at least do thirty something.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:58

Yeah, that's three a minute. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:00

Like, I mean.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:03

Because there's been nights that I've I gotta go where I'm gonna go to crystals, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:03:07

I uh I have left here, you know, after a night of drinking. And this is just me, this is me already drunk, so I'm already, you know.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:16

Yeah, I'm numb. I have no idea what I'm about to put in my body.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:20

And I'll go to crystals and I'll do the 24-pack with two drinks and two fries. And house it. And house it on the way home.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:29

I can't do that if I um if I get fries and stuff.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:32

Hell yeah. In fact, I may do that today on the way home. I'll be behind you in the drive-thru way.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:39

Looks like competition's starting a little early. No, that's I can't do it if I eat fries or anything with it. If it's just a sack of burgers, you're yeah. Oh, yeah. Before you know, you're just like, oh.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:50

I mean, the fries greatly diminish the total number of crystal burgers I could demolish. So I'm I'm curious as to you know how many could I destroy in a 10-minute time frame.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:01

We're all gonna order 48. So no one knows. If someone on the next podcast turns out I actually ate 48 of them in 10 minutes.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:11

If uh if somebody will sponsor it for us, we'll absolutely do that. Well, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:16

A 24 pack's 50 bucks. And I need mine with cheese. Like it's gonna be the cheese.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:21

But think about what a crystals burger is. There's like, I don't even think the meat is an ounce. I think they're little half-ounce patties. It's a quarter of a slice of American cheese. So really you're eating you're eating six cheeseburgers. You're eating like six McDonald's cheeseburgers every time you eat standard operating order.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:42

Yeah, swear to God.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:43

Six McDonald's cheeseburgers is not that impressive. No. But the fact that it's little crystals. You would never leave the toilet.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:52

God make the water. We would have to do that somewhere where we could all find a bathroom relatively quickly. Pretty quickly.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:01

We just eat them sitting on the toilet. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:04

Yeah, that's rough. How are you doing over here, Jim? I had this conversation with my dad today. We were talking about uh what you could eat the most of, and his was uh Pizza Hut fresh pan pepperoni pizzas. Oh yeah. He said he could house them.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:19

Dude, do you guys remember CC's Pizza? There used to be one in Summiton.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:25

Oh yeah. There was one in Summiton. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:27

And it was like, you know, CC's pizza when we were kids, it was all you could eat for like $3.99. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:32

No, I'm a fan. We had one in uh center point when I was young, and we used to go to that one pretty often. But you still, well, you still find them like whenever you go on vacation or something anywhere else other than Birmingham, they're still out there.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:45

But yeah, I like a CC's pizza. My record, and this this was when I was in elementary school. So I mean I'm a fat adult now, but I was a fat kid too. My record in elementary school was twenty one slides. 21 slices.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:02

They are like quarter slice. They are really thick.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:04

Yeah. But that's a lot of dough. Like they're that's a thick pizza.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:08

I eat three pizza. Almost three pizzas.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:12

And this is like in one sitting in elementary school. So this is probably like within 45 minutes.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:16

Yeah. I house them so it's just that's rough, brother.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:22

Yeah. I think anything like that, there's just so much bread, it's hard to do.

unknown 1:06:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:28

It is really thin though. I don't know if y'all eaten it one in a while. We we took the girls on our little vacation or whatever uh last year in eight cc's, but it was like to me, it was always like thick crust.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:39

Are they not like super thin?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:42

Real super thin. And they're and the they're just like what what would you say, two inches wide now?

SPEAKER_05 1:06:48

And well, I don't know. I I haven't eaten it one since I was in college, but when I was in high when I was in elementary school, they were like normal slice pizza, like you normally slice it. It wasn't this little bitty like you get them like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:01

Now they're really tiny. But yeah, it might stack a plate up with all kind of in my mind.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:06

It was always like thick, like pan pizza. No. That's always my thought process, but maybe it's smaller pizza.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:12

It wasn't, you know, it and it wasn't um like it wasn't thin crust, wasn't like the crispy wafer style. Like it was actually like, you know, it was thick enough that it was still that's one of my favorite styles of pizza too.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:24

Like a tavern style, super crispy, like almost like a cracker. Do you know what I missed desperately? Buck's pizza. I've never experienced that. I'm unfamiliar. Buck's Pizza.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:36

It was Bucks Pizza. It was on the back side of um where uh Cabos is at. Up on that hill. Oh, I do remember Bucks Pizza. They had a belly buster pizza, that's what they called it. Yeah. And it was like this big this big rat, like it was it was an oval. Yeah. And it was cut in squares. I like a square pie.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:00

I remember this. Man, that was a long time ago.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:03

And I miss that so much. I ain't been in Walker County that long, guys.
