• 3:22
  > Speaker D>Pray for us, uh, to attend a family.
• 3:25
  > Speaker B>You know, we probably should have whiskey before every show.
• 3:29
  > Speaker E>I feel we've just unlocked, um, a new level.
• 3:31
  > Speaker B>The more you drink, the funnier I get.
• 3:33
  > Speaker C>Woo.
• 3:34
  > Speaker D>Yes. Okay, so of course we had to buy some beer and bring it back, right? I mean, you can't leave anywhere empty handed and you have to come home.
• 3:44
  > Speaker E>You're supporting the local economy.
• 3:47
  > Speaker D>Yes, we are. So while Kilgore, Texas might be known more for oil, Earl. For beer.
• 3:55
  > Speaker B>That's right. Got them, Earl. Whales.
• 3:57
  > Speaker E>That's correct.
• 3:58
  > Speaker D>We were able to find a few interesting things, or at least we hope they're interesting things.
• 4:03
  > Speaker B>We'll see.
• 4:04

• 4:28
  > Speaker B>It was actually called deep elm, but the people kept saying it wrong, so they changed it to deep Ellum.

  > Speaker E>It's kind of like shovel.

• 4:57
  > Speaker B>It's always the Germans. They're doing stuff.
• 4:59
  > Speaker F>Is the evil necessary?
• 5:01
  > Speaker B>From style ETB Brewing company in Tyler, Texas, we have hitching post american amber, Alex and brick street blonde ale.

• 5:27
  > Speaker B>And if there's time beyond drinking these eight beers, we may have a bonus beer or two.
• 5:34
  > Speaker E>No, that's kind, uh, of a wild card situation.
• 5:39
  > Speaker D>Ooh, living on the edge.
• 5:41
  > Speaker D>Okay.
• 5:43
  > Speaker B>I like this.
• 5:48
  > Speaker D>We cannot escape Mike.

  > Speaker E>That's true. He's everywhere.
• 5:52
  > Speaker D>Okay, um. Good old boy.
• 5:53
  > Speaker D>Sparky, why don't you give us the suds ratings for today?
• 5:57
  > Speaker E>We'll be discussing and rating these beers with these suds ratings. Plus our signature belching sounds. Here are those ratings now.
• 6:08
  > Speaker E>One. That sucks.
• 6:11
  > Speaker E>Give me anything but a bud.
• 6:16
  > Speaker E>Two. Was that a belch?
• 6:21
  > Speaker E>Three. Ah. Uh, what a relief. And beans dont belong in chili.
• 6:30
  > Speaker E>Four. A body should not make that sound really.
• 6:36
  > Speaker E>Uh, five. All right, all right, all right. Listen to that. Hang time. Get me another.
• 6:44
  > Speaker B>That's what I'm talking about.
• 6:50
  > Speaker D>Of course. Was he from Texas?
• 6:53
  > Speaker E>Yes.
• 6:54
  > Speaker D>Okay.
• 6:54
  > Speaker E>Yeah, he's. He's got an amazing origin story, too. Like. Yeah, yeah. He's a cool guy, man.
• 7:00
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 7:00
  > Speaker B>Him and, uh, Woody house.
• 7:02
  > Speaker F>The mesquite. Buffalo. No. Wild turkey.
• 7:05
  > Speaker C>Mm hmm.
• 7:06
  > Speaker F>Mesquite.
• 7:07
  > Speaker D>Uh, interesting. Oh, yeah.
• 7:10
  > Speaker F>Long ranch. That was what it was.
• 7:12
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 7:13
  > Speaker D>And then there's a thing with Woody Heller Harrelson. And then is there a thing with Willie Nelson, too, or they just friends?
• 7:19
  > Speaker B>I mean, I'm sure they're.
• 7:20
  > Speaker F>He's from Texas.
• 7:22
  > Speaker E>They travel in the same circles they were.
• 7:26
  > Speaker B>He spent time on Willie's tour bus, but I'm sure they're still just friends.
• 7:29
  > Speaker D>I just do know if, like, Willie's the dad or something.
• 7:32
  > Speaker B>No, no, no.
• 7:33
  > Speaker E>Willie is Matthew McConaughey's father.
• 7:36
  > Speaker D>Yes.
• 7:36
  > Speaker E>It's true. He sired him, so that's.
• 7:39
  > Speaker F>Yeah, that would make a lot of sense.
• 7:41
  > Speaker E>It would, but it's not true.
• 7:42
  > Speaker B>There are rumors that Woody Harrelson is his half brother.
• 7:46
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 7:46
  > Speaker F>Oh, yeah, yeah. I think they started the rumor.
• 7:49
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 7:50
  > Speaker E>That's great.
• 7:51
  > Speaker B>I'm here for that because Woody Harrelson's father is a convicted, uh, person avengers hired, um.
• 7:58
  > Speaker B>Killer.
• 8:00
  > Speaker E>Yeah, I'm not gonna mess with Harrelson.
• 8:03
  > Speaker E>Yeah, that's what I learned today.
• 8:06
  > Speaker B>He's a vegan, so, I mean.
• 8:07
  > Speaker E>Oh, well, now I'm back to messing with. I'm gonna take those chances.
• 8:12
  > Speaker D>Okay, well, let's get on to the beer, shall we?
• 8:15
  > Speaker B>We probably should at that point.
• 8:17
  > Speaker F>That's. That's fair.
• 8:17
  > Speaker D>Okay, so, first group is coming from deep Ellen brewing in Dallas, Texas.
• 8:23
  > Speaker D>And the first one is the blonde.
• 8:27
  > Speaker B>Golden ale, Dallas blonde.
• 8:29
  > Speaker D>Dallas blonde, yes.
• 8:30
  > Speaker E>That's not a real blonde.
• 8:31
  > Speaker F>It's a special kind of blonde.
• 8:32
  > Speaker E>Yeah, I was gonna say.
• 8:33
  > Speaker B>In fact, in the description of the beer, they talk about how it's a town full of, um, what are they called?
• 8:39
  > Speaker D>Bottled blondes in a town famous for its bottle blondes. We've reset the bar.
• 8:45
  > Speaker E>Well placed.
• 8:45
  > Speaker D>This shimmering golden ale combines citrusy and floral american hops with pale vienna and wheat malts.
• 8:54
  > Speaker D>Beautifully balanced. And it's 5.2% abv.
• 8:58
  > Speaker B>I always thought it was weird when you see shows about Texas, like, or like, the Dallas cowboy cheerleaders and stuff, and they're all, like, really brightly blonde. Like, wow.
• 9:06
  > Speaker B>Yeah, a lot of blondes.
• 9:07
  > Speaker E>And Texas pretty homogenized.
• 9:09
  > Speaker F>Like, the higher the blonde, the closer to God, that's.
• 9:13
  > Speaker E>The higher the hairdo, the closer.
• 9:17
  > Speaker C>Um.
• 9:17
  > Speaker D>That's the aquanet talking, I think.
• 9:20
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 9:21
  > Speaker E>Okay. It's a hell of a marketing strategy, though. I mean, really. You're welcome. Aqua Gwinnett. You're gonna. You're gonna make it back. And it's because of us.
• 9:29
  > Speaker B>That's right.
• 9:29
  > Speaker D>Yes.
• 9:30
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 9:30
  > Speaker D>That and Mary Kay, right?
• 9:32
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 9:33
  > Speaker F>This from Texas. Yeah. Right?
• 9:36
  > Speaker D>Yes.
• 9:36
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 9:37
  > Speaker D>Yes.
• 9:37
  > Speaker B>That's one of the pink car.
• 9:39
  > Speaker D>Yes. She always had the pink cadillac.
• 9:42
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 9:42
  > Speaker D>Yes.
• 9:43
  > Speaker F>One of the original pyramid schemes.
• 9:47
  > Speaker B>How dare you.
• 9:48
  > Speaker E>Mlm, baby.
• 9:49
  > Speaker C>Let's go. Um.
• 9:51
  > Speaker D>Mazel tough. Okay, so I'm gonna admit golden blondes. I mean, blonde ales I kind of tend to stay away from because I'm like, they're meh.
• 10:03
  > Speaker F>Right?
• 10:03
  > Speaker E>They're.
• 10:04
  > Speaker D>They can be meh.
• 10:05
  > Speaker E>They're designed specifically to be meh. Like, I don't have the technology or. Or equipment or time to make a logger, so let's go.
• 10:15
  > Speaker B>But I think there's. There's some value in that, though.
• 10:18
  > Speaker E>There is.
• 10:19
  > Speaker C>There is.
• 10:19
  > Speaker E>Like, you've run a race. You need to be replenished. This is great. Or it's like beer 105 degrees out there. A golden blonde is gonna save my life right now.
• 10:28
  > Speaker B>Well, it's like, you know, if you want to.
• 10:30
  > Speaker F>Yes, she is.
• 10:30
  > Speaker B>Prior. Prior to every brewery coming back in craft brewery, uh, and making a lager, you know, Pilsner or, you know, light check logger or something. The golden or blonde ale was the way you would get your bud, uh, light friends to come in to the craft brewery and hang out with you.
• 10:51
  > Speaker F>Come to the dark side, because then.
• 10:53
  > Speaker B>They'Re like, uh, you know, this. All these ipas, I hate all these hops.
• 10:57
  > Speaker E>Right, right. They don't want anything complicated, like, oh, you want a Miller light or whatever. Here, there's a golden blonde.
• 11:03
  > Speaker E>It's not even remotely the same, but here, it's just gonna satisfy you.
• 11:07
  > Speaker C>Sure.
• 11:07
  > Speaker E>But there's still a lot of good stuff in that space, in my opinion.
• 11:10
  > Speaker B>No, I agree.
• 11:11
  > Speaker C>Yeah. Ah.
• 11:12
  > Speaker B>But I think this is a nice, easy drinking blonde ale.
• 11:15
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 11:15
  > Speaker E>It's not gonna win any badges or anything like that, but it's also not gonna kill anybody.
• 11:19
  > Speaker B>It's like most blondes I've known.
• 11:21
  > Speaker F>It's not too deep, but easy blondes are my category.
• 11:25
  > Speaker E>Is that right?
• 11:26
  > Speaker C>Mhm. Okay.
• 11:26
  > Speaker B>M. I've heard that.
• 11:31
  > Speaker D>Okay. So, yes, as far as blondes go, this isn't bad. We're gonna rate it a three.
• 11:38
  > Speaker E>Good start.
• 11:39
  > Speaker B>Deep Ellum.
• 11:41
  > Speaker D>Okay, now let's go to the IPA.
• 11:45
  > Speaker D>Uh, deep Ellum.
• 11:47
  > Speaker B>I believe this is their. Well, it's got their name on it, so it's probably their flagship.
• 11:51
  > Speaker E>And on the nose, I mean, I'm already getting, like, just.
• 11:55
  > Speaker E>I think this might be an IPA.
• 11:56
  > Speaker D>Hmm m. All right, this one's coming in at 7% abv.
• 12:01
  > Speaker E>Wow.
• 12:01
  > Speaker D>Yeah. For an IPA to bear our hometown name, it better be potent. So we loaded it up with our favorite american hops for a bitter punch. And with some over the top tropical fruit, citrus, pine, and floral aromas and flavors, you've got one big Texas IPA serving deserving of the deep elm name.
• 12:21
  > Speaker E>Now, I have to tell you, this.
• 12:24
  > Speaker E>They did this one right. And compared to the blonde like this, I would not have expected an IPA like this.
• 12:32
  > Speaker B>But this good.
• 12:33
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 12:34
  > Speaker E>To be this good.
• 12:34
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 12:35
  > Speaker E>Right? This is really solid.
• 12:37
  > Speaker C>It's.
• 12:38
  > Speaker B>It's so well balanced between the upfront hop flavors and then the bitterness in the backends.
• 12:43
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 12:43
  > Speaker E>Yeah, perfect.
• 12:44
  > Speaker B>Got a little bit of dank, some, like, pencil shaving, a little bit of woodiness for some reason, and then that fruitiness too.
• 12:52
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 12:53
  > Speaker B>I like this a lot.
• 12:54
  > Speaker D>Yeah. The citrus and pine, it's, it's, it's nice.
• 12:58
  > Speaker E>I would love to have some kind of spicy barbecue with this. Like, I need to, like, I need you guys to look away, and I need to just have a half rack of ribs and some alone time with.
• 13:08
  > Speaker B>I would eat some, like, serious carne asada tacos.
• 13:12
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 13:13
  > Speaker E>Nice.
• 13:13
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 13:14
  > Speaker F>I would skip lunch and have another pint.
• 13:16
  > Speaker C>There you go.
• 13:17
  > Speaker B>I love that.
• 13:18
  > Speaker E>Okay. I mean, you know what?
• 13:19
  > Speaker C>That's.
• 13:19
  > Speaker E>That's been my, uh, diet for a while now, and it's working out great.
• 13:23
  > Speaker D>Yeah. Well, we'll be back in just a minute with more.
• 13:27
  > Speaker D>Welcome back, everyone. So today's episode is a Texas holdem.
• 13:35
  > Speaker D>Hold'em. I like it.
• 13:37
  > Speaker B>Texas Roadhouse.
• 13:40
  > Speaker E>A fine.
• 13:40
  > Speaker B>Speaking of which, you know, not a lot of people could host podcasts one handed. Uh, so good job, Juliana M. Hey.
• 13:50
  > Speaker F>Yeah, yeah, great.
• 13:51
  > Speaker D>Yeah. And Texas Roadhouse, I don't know how I feel about the new one.
• 13:56
  > Speaker E>Oh, there's a new version of Texas Roadhouse.
• 13:59
  > Speaker F>Oh, it dropped last week.
• 14:00
  > Speaker B>It's all vegan.
• 14:02
  > Speaker F>I.
• 14:03
  > Speaker E>Wait, what's the place? What's the place that has the damn peanuts on the ground?
• 14:08
  > Speaker B>That's Logan's, bro.
• 14:10
  > Speaker F>They don't do that anymore. Cause allergies.
• 14:12
  > Speaker E>Oh, thank God. Because that was like kids were just.
• 14:15
  > Speaker B>Walking in there and just died. That immediately.
• 14:16
  > Speaker E>Dying was the most repellent. Like, I'm a bit fastidious. That might surprise you guys.
• 14:23
  > Speaker B>Ironically, to me, the peanuts on the floor were not the worst part of that place.
• 14:27
  > Speaker E>Really? Okay. The food was.
• 14:30
  > Speaker D>Wow.
• 14:32
  > Speaker E>And I support that. Um, yeah, you know, I'm wearing cufflinks. I'm just gonna tell you right now, I don't like to walk into places that have peanuts on the floor.
• 14:40
  > Speaker B>Yeah, they probably don't get a lot of guys and bow ties.
• 14:43
  > Speaker D>Ah, I took that off for you guys. That's fair.
• 14:46
  > Speaker D>Um, okay, so right before the break, we were talking about the deep lm IPA from in Dallas. Yes.
• 14:58
  > Speaker D>And, um, just some closing thoughts on it before we rate it. Um, um, solid. Every day. Kind of interesting. I wouldn't have thought, um, um, that I would. I don't know why, I guess I'm biased, but I wouldn't have thought I would have liked like a Texas IPA, you know what I mean? Were their thing.
• 15:21
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 15:21
  > Speaker D>Which there's nothing wrong with that.
• 15:23
  > Speaker E>No, because their german history and just like the long, long of all the breweries.
• 15:28
  > Speaker D>Right, right.
• 15:29
  > Speaker E>So, I mean, the, you look at the color. I mean, everything about this is just, just right where it needs to be.
• 15:35
  > Speaker B>Nice west coast.
• 15:36
  > Speaker F>The longer it sits here, it's like pineapple rind is coming up for me.
• 15:39
  > Speaker E>Oh, interesting.
• 15:40
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 15:40
  > Speaker B>Uh, yeah, see, that's why you get whiskey people onto beer ships, they bring, they bring that extra level.
• 15:49
  > Speaker D>Right, though. Yeah. That is a really neat aroma.
• 15:53
  > Speaker E>But really, I mean, this, this is just to me, like waiting for the food that pairs with it. Yeah, this is. Yes, yes, so much.
• 16:02
  > Speaker D>Okay, well, we are going to rate the deep LM IPA. A four.
• 16:07
  > Speaker B>Oh, thank you. Deep l.
• 16:11
  > Speaker B>How do you say elm m? But you say it in such a jacked up way.
• 16:15
  > Speaker E>It's Ellum, you're southern, you know, uh, George Carlin had a great lying about that, but I cannot repeat it on the radio.
• 16:24
  > Speaker B>Just, just google it, everybody.
• 16:26
  > Speaker D>Google it, folks.
• 16:27
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 16:27
  > Speaker D>All right, now we're going to go to the Manhattan project beer company, also in Dallas, and we're going to talk about the, uh, Hoppenheimer west coast style IPA, 7.4% abv. This beer was created for the IPA lovers out there. It is a perfectly balanced west coast american IPA with huge, dank hoping aroma. At first sniff, you will detect pine resin and delicious citrus. Once you finally steal a sip, you will discover that Oppenheimer is just enough malt and subtle caramel to keep the IPA characteristics in balance.
• 17:02
  > Speaker E>On the nose, I'm just getting so much sweetness. Like there's.
• 17:05
  > Speaker B>Yeah, I don't really get what they said. And I don't know if it's because we're just coming off that deep ellum.
• 17:11
  > Speaker E>Or it's maybe too cold, but, but definitely it's, it's a lot brighter than that description.
• 17:18
  > Speaker B>Yeah, it's, it's got like a candied fruit on the front end, like taste to me, but then on the back end, it's got a nice bitterness.
• 17:26
  > Speaker E>Yeah, yeah, there's definitely the candy fruit piece going on and definitely bitterness on the.
• 17:32
  > Speaker D>I'm smelling like first running malt e kind of stuff.
• 17:36
  > Speaker E>You know what I mean? Totally know what you mean.
• 17:37
  > Speaker B>The sugars.
• 17:38
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 17:39
  > Speaker D>Wow.
• 17:40
  > Speaker E>There's a lot of sugars. Hey, suga, by the way, did everybody see Oppenheimer last? Oh, yeah, man.
• 17:47
  > Speaker B>Good grief, man. What we actually did.
• 17:49

• 19:59
  > Speaker E>You do? Really? I do.
• 20:01
  > Speaker D>Okay.
• 20:01
  > Speaker F>Mhm.
• 20:01
  > Speaker B>The Oppenheimer.
• 20:03
  > Speaker D>The thing is, like, I'm not getting any pine, right? Or getting sweetness, but then as you taste it, you're getting, like, the forest floor kind of thing. Oh, yeah, the dankness.
• 20:14
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 20:14
  > Speaker B>As it warms up, there's a little more resin that comes out.
• 20:18
  > Speaker E>Just very interesting.
• 20:19
  > Speaker C>I.
• 20:19
  > Speaker E>You know, I wonder if they made this for the movie. I assume they probably did. Um, I don't know.
• 20:24

• 20:48
  > Speaker B>Oh, everything is. Yeah.
• 20:51
  > Speaker E>Because they're.
• 20:52
  > Speaker B>I think because they're experimental, they're scientific and collaborative, and. And if you think about the Oppenheimer movie in the Manhattan project, they brought a lot of different scientists from, you know, a lot of different areas, and they all work together in New Mexico. And.
• 21:09
  > Speaker E>And they say, you can drink this all afternoon, but, I mean, I don't feel like 7.4. That's.
• 21:14

  > Speaker B>Pudding pop?
• 22:38
  > Speaker F>Damn.
• 22:38
  > Speaker B>Well, don't eat the jell o.
• 22:40
  > Speaker E>On a less roofy note, my story is about a woman who ordered a$275 ashtray, but instead received, wouldn't you know it? A can of tuna instead.
• 22:54
  > Speaker C>What?
• 22:55
  > Speaker B>From Bill Cosby.
• 22:56
  > Speaker C>Oh, can I. Tuna?
• 22:58
  > Speaker E>Yes, don't eat that tuna can.
• 23:01
  > Speaker E>Um, Bailey Comeier just wanted to splurge on a little online luxury, but what she was sent was much more than a little fishy and a now viral TikTok video.
• 23:16
  > Speaker E>Comey. A Nashville. Hey, that's, uh.
• 23:19
  > Speaker C>Us.
• 23:19
  > Speaker E>Area resident recounted her experience ordering a Dolce and Gabbana ashtray from luxury retailer Saks Fifth Avenue and receiving something that caught her by surprise.
• 23:30
  > Speaker E>A can of tuna.
• 23:32
  > Speaker B>Get it? Called her.
• 23:35
  > Speaker F>Is that wild?
• 23:36
  > Speaker C>Hello, everyone.
• 23:36
  > Speaker F>Farm raised.
• 23:37
  > Speaker E>I made a TikTok account just so that I could share what just happened to me, because I'm most perplexed and confused I've ever been in my entire life. Komiya says. That may not be her affect.
• 23:48
  > Speaker B>No, it is exactly how she sounds. It's weird.
• 23:51
  > Speaker E>Comey said she received an emailed coupon from a, uh, sax for a percentage off one item online and decided to purchase a Dolce and Gabbana blue Mediterranean ashtray, which retails on the Saks website for 275.
• 24:05
  > Speaker E>I don't need to hear the judgment. That's what I wanted, so that's what I picked. It's very pretty.
• 24:11
  > Speaker E>Seriously, it should have been very pretty.
• 24:14
  > Speaker E>She says. After Commie's order was delivered, she said she ordered opened her Saks branded package, pulled out a black dolce and gabbana box, and removed the cellophane wrapping. When I opened it, this is what I found, a can of albacore tuna. Komi says.
• 24:31
  > Speaker B>Oh, my God.
• 24:32
  > Speaker E>I don't know if someone from the warehouse took it and replaced it with some cellophane with a hairdryer. I don't even know. But this is the most effing expensive can of tuna I ever bought.
• 24:44
  > Speaker B>I hope that's what we named this episode, the most expensive can of tuna.
• 24:49
  > Speaker E>Komiya's video has garnered more than 1.3 million views, and commentators empathized with their plight, sharing their own experiences with online retail return scams.
• 25:00
  > Speaker E>Saks sends me a, uh, used perfume, paid$450. They don't accept used perfume for returns. Supposedly, one TikTok user, my daughter bought a$500 bag, commented another, when she received the box was carefully sliced in a different spot and the bag was removed. Sax mail is a target for high end theft.
• 25:24
  > Speaker B>King Charles. Wow.
• 25:25
  > Speaker E>Other commentators use the fishy situation as an opportunity to fine tune their comedy stylings. Albacore is the dolce and gabbana of the tuna world, wrote one TikTok user. Crack that crown, baby, and empty it out, you got yourself an ashtray. Exactly right.
• 25:45
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 25:45
  > Speaker E>I mean, make do with what you've got.
• 25:47
  > Speaker F>Also, who still smokes? Shut up. Get what you get.
• 25:50
  > Speaker E>Yeah, same. Um, um, for its part, Saks Fifth Avenue says that after an investigation at, uh, Commie's order, the team identified that the tuna can center was a fraudulent return.
• 26:01
  > Speaker E>We take our customer experience very seriously. Across the retail industry, there has been an increase in online fraud, particularly related to returns. Fifth Avenue.
• 26:13
  > Speaker F>Is this Mister Fifth Avenue?
• 26:15
  > Speaker E>Well, I do work for Saks.
• 26:17
  > Speaker B>I could be Mister Sachs.
• 26:19
  > Speaker E>Luxury continues to be a target given to its high price points, and as such, we have implemented a more rigorous step in our return process, including additional reviews and stronger authentication. Our highly automated fulfillment centers manage millions of shipments every year, but it is not acceptable for even a small number of our customers to have this experience. The representative also said that the Saks teams works with Comeye to get a replacement or cent. We apologize for any inconvenience, as this is not as reflective as the luxury shopping experience.
• 26:56
  > Speaker B>It's not like they can check every.
• 26:58
  > Speaker E>Box avenue is out. She the rap pads. At first I was looking to buy something silly. I noticed they do sell caviar, so I was like, oh, maybe it got mixed up. This isn't caviar. This is catatunia. Come here. Tells today.com, adding this, though she may have had an innocent mistake before, frankly, it didn't even occur to me that it could have been a customer doing it until my friends said, I've heard of people doing these things with bags. They order real bags, keep the real one and replace it, the fake one, and they get a refund. And her friend was correct. Fraud specifically related to returns is on the rise. According to a survey by Apris Retail, a national retail federation, retailers estimated that 13.7% of returns were fraudulent in 2003.
• 27:44
  > Speaker E>That's about a $101 billion in tuna cans, counterfeit products, and other items showing up. That's a lot of tuna games.
• 27:52
  > Speaker D>That is a lot of tuna showing.
• 27:55
  > Speaker E>Up in consumers packages. During the holiday season, that number rose to 16.5%, or $24.5 billion billions.
• 28:03
  > Speaker E>M with a b. I called the guy, and he was actually really nice. His name was Roger. I didn't tell him on the phone. I was scared that he'd hang up on me, but so I just said I received the wrong package, Comeier explains, adding that Roger asked her to send pictures of the wrong. I mean, he's like, okay, I just got your email. And then it goes quiet. And he just goes, that's odd. And I'm like, yeah, I know, Roger.
• 28:29
  > Speaker B>So, wow. Well, it all worked out in the end.
• 28:33
  > Speaker E>I feel like we've been on a journey together.
• 28:34
  > Speaker B>Yeah, we have. That was, that was good. See, that's why a, that's why people like audible, because really, uh, good, uh, reading skills and voices. And also, that's also why people like getting their news from the BBC. You know, there's something so trustworthy, uh, about a british person, right?
• 28:58
  > Speaker E>Because when you hear, when you hear the english language spoken in the received pronunciation dialect, it's got to be authoritative and correct, right?
• 29:06
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 29:06
  > Speaker D>Not the same.
• 29:07
  > Speaker C>Yeah, yeah.
• 29:08
  > Speaker E>Uh, well done.
• 29:09
  > Speaker F>Okay, so first of all.
• 29:10
  > Speaker E>Yeah, yeah, we're back in that back.
• 29:12
  > Speaker F>Were we gonna actually use this $275 ashtray to put ashes in?
• 29:19
  > Speaker B>No, she put it in her jewelry.
• 29:22
  > Speaker E>So ask yourself a question.
• 29:25
  > Speaker B>Let me ask you something.
• 29:27
  > Speaker F>Isn't a bite of tuna better?
• 29:29
  > Speaker E>I think so. I mean, I feel like it's ironic, but, like, still relevant.
• 29:35
  > Speaker F>And she still has an ashtray if she really needed one, which I hope she does.
• 29:38
  > Speaker E>And it's a great story.
• 29:40
  > Speaker B>And she could have eaten the tuna.
• 29:42
  > Speaker E>She could have.
• 29:42
  > Speaker F>I could have eaten the tuna, returned the can.
• 29:46
  > Speaker B>Yeah, sure.
• 29:48
  > Speaker E>I mean, don't let that go to waste.
• 29:49
  > Speaker C>That's good.
• 29:49
  > Speaker E>That's albacore. You don't throw albacore.
• 29:52
  > Speaker F>Is it packed in water or oil?
• 29:54
  > Speaker E>Oil. Oh, yeah, I think it's oil.
• 29:56
  > Speaker E>Fine. Olive oil.
• 29:59
  > Speaker B>That's classy.
• 30:00
  > Speaker E>So quick.
• 30:01
  > Speaker C>Texas.
• 30:01
  > Speaker B>I mean, it was from sack of avenue.
• 30:03
  > Speaker F>Yes.
• 30:04
  > Speaker D>Yes, please.
• 30:05
  > Speaker E>Texas.
• 30:05
  > Speaker C>Sorry.

  > Speaker E>So, my mama, Nolita Marie Bunn.
• 30:09
  > Speaker B>Wow.
• 30:10
  > Speaker D>Oh, Nolita.
• 30:11
  > Speaker E>Nolita. She grew up in Texas as the youngest of 15 kids.
• 30:17
  > Speaker F>How many?
• 30:18
  > Speaker E>15 kids?
• 30:20
  > Speaker D>Chill out.
• 30:21
  > Speaker E>I don't know about her mom, but I have thoughts.
• 30:25
  > Speaker B>I bet she slid right up. Yeah, it's true.
• 30:28
  > Speaker F>What was her birth order?
• 30:30
  > Speaker E>She was the 15th of. Yeah, she was the last, but her 8th.
• 30:34
  > Speaker F>That says something about Melita.
• 30:36
  > Speaker B>It's like riding over, like riding a water slide, man.
• 30:39
  > Speaker E>Yeah, she was just, like. There was already, like, an inflatable raft that she just, like, right out.
• 30:44
  > Speaker F>Didn't even interrupt your grocery checkout.
• 30:46
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 30:47
  > Speaker E>So her 8th, 9th, and 10th siblings were all girls, named sequentially. Ada, Nina, and Tenny. Well, you know what, though?
• 30:57
  > Speaker B>But here's. Here's the deal. After seven, you know, names, you're gonna start to run out of names.
• 31:03
  > Speaker E>Well, they started naming people after Texas towns. After 809 and Tenny. There's Odessa, there's Katie. Yeah, I'm surprised there was not a.
• 31:12
  > Speaker B>There was probably just driving around and. What a kill Gore.
• 31:16
  > Speaker E>I'm surprised it wasn't a kill gore, frankly. Yeah, it should have been a Sunday.
• 31:20
  > Speaker F>If we can keep coming up for all these beers to have these names, I think we can do better than Ada Nanya Tenna.
• 31:26
  > Speaker E>I feel that.
• 31:28
  > Speaker F>Ada Nina.
• 31:29
  > Speaker D>Wow. I'm so sorry.

  > Speaker F>You know, I'm getting next to nothing on the nose here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 35:08
  > Speaker E>It's pretty cold.
• 35:10
  > Speaker F>Not cold.
• 35:13
  > Speaker B>Kind of sweet.
• 35:15
  > Speaker D>Kind of sweet. Yeah.
• 35:16
  > Speaker E>A little biscuity.
• 35:17
  > Speaker B>Yeah, just enough. Yeah, just enough hop to make it finish.
• 35:24
  > Speaker F>She said.
• 35:30
  > Speaker F>You're funny. You're really funny.
• 35:32
  > Speaker D>I like you, so.
• 35:39
  > Speaker F>Yeah. So that's fine.
• 35:40
  > Speaker D>Yeah. As far as ambers go, I mean, this is.
• 35:45
  > Speaker B>Well, Amber's died out. You know, like, thinking about fat tire.
• 35:49
  > Speaker E>No, a lot of people.
• 35:51
  > Speaker B>Yeah, well, a lot of people just really weren't drinking ambers because it's not an ipa, which the hop heads love. But then it's also not like a clean pilsner or lager, which.
• 36:02
  > Speaker D>Yeah, it's kind of like this fit toy, so it's.
• 36:05
  > Speaker B>And it's not a stout or a big barrel age, whatever. So it's just sort of this thing.
• 36:10
  > Speaker F>They got all, ah, the things.
• 36:12
  > Speaker F>It's not.
• 36:12
  > Speaker B>Yes.
• 36:13
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 36:13
  > Speaker B>It's not Carrie Ann.
• 36:15
  > Speaker E>All right, now it's the Nashville. Nashville, uh, brewing company.
• 36:20
  > Speaker E>Amber.
• 36:21
  > Speaker B>No.
• 36:22
  > Speaker E>Solid as heck. It is, and I'm glad they're making it.
• 36:25
  > Speaker C>Um.
• 36:25
  > Speaker E>Um, you know, I wish they'd more.
• 36:27
  > Speaker F>Than the shelf I have, the amber they have on draft at all.
• 36:30
  > Speaker F>Ah, the mexican restaurants.
• 36:34
  > Speaker F>That's the end of my story.
• 36:35
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 36:36
  > Speaker B>No, no, but all the mexican restaurants, they all have that one. Amber.
• 36:42
  > Speaker C>It does.
• 36:43
  > Speaker E>It does. Culinary. From a culinary standpoint, it does tend to pair. Well, sure.
• 36:48
  > Speaker C>With.
• 36:49
  > Speaker E>I mean, like, browns and ambers are really what you want to go with. Um, yeah, in most cases, to support and not get in the way of.
• 36:57
  > Speaker C>It.
• 36:57
  > Speaker B>Doesn't get in the way of flavors. Kind of. Kind, uh, of cool. Some of the spiciness.
• 37:01
  > Speaker F>Uh, and, yeah, I feel like nothing wrong with it.
• 37:04
  > Speaker F>Yeah, not exciting.
• 37:06
  > Speaker B>Kind of want some queso right now, but there.
• 37:07
  > Speaker D>Ah, yeah, right, but we can't.
• 37:10
  > Speaker D>Okay, so this is going to be a, uh, three. The hitching post american amber.
• 37:16
  > Speaker C>Alex.
• 37:18
  > Speaker B>Well, you could hit yourself right up to it. They're a brew pub, too.
• 37:21
  > Speaker B>I bet they have some decent food to pair with us.
• 37:23
  > Speaker F>Yeah, we have a hitch too.
• 37:28
  > Speaker E>Okay, see what you did there?
• 37:30
  > Speaker D>Next up will be the brick street blonde. So another blondale. This one is 5.2% abv, light, crisp, and lightly hop with mild maltiness.
• 37:48
  > Speaker D>They're calling it a classic american blonde.
• 37:53
  > Speaker F>I would call myself a classic american blonde, but here I am with red hair.
• 37:57
  > Speaker B>Yeah.
• 38:00
  > Speaker F>This is a nice palette cleanser.
• 38:04
  > Speaker B>I think I like this one better than the Dallas blonde.
• 38:07
  > Speaker E>Oh, okay.
• 38:08
  > Speaker B>Are you? Are you.
• 38:09
  > Speaker E>No, I don't disagree. No, no, no, I don't disagree. I just forgot that we had that one earlier.
• 38:14
  > Speaker B>Ah, see, that's how we know. Maybe it's better. I don't know.
• 38:19
  > Speaker C>Um.
• 38:19
  > Speaker D>Um, but again, another light, easy, non offensive, everyday kind of thing.
• 38:27
  > Speaker C>Every day.
• 38:28
  > Speaker E>That's what I strive for every day. Light and non offensive.
• 38:30
  > Speaker E>Yeah. That's my goals.
• 38:33
  > Speaker D>Right.
• 38:33
  > Speaker F>Agree to disagree.
• 38:34
  > Speaker E>Yeah, yeah.
• 38:35
  > Speaker C>Um.
• 38:36
  > Speaker D>Um, but in comparison with the other one, I think this is just a little.
• 38:42
  > Speaker F>Hmm.
• 38:43
  > Speaker D>I m don't know, a little softer.
• 38:46
  > Speaker E>Yeah, I'd agree with that. Uh, that makes perfect sense.
• 38:48
  > Speaker F>Less interesting.
• 38:50
  > Speaker D>Yeah. Yeah. Honestly, I'm more inclined to think that the deep element I like better than this. What?
• 38:57
  > Speaker B>You son of a. Mm hmm. What do you guys. All right.
• 39:03
  > Speaker B>In a three, two. Oh, it. Oh, you sons of.
• 39:07
  > Speaker D>Yep. So the Brooks Rena rated two. I'm sorry.
• 39:11
  > Speaker E>I'll make it up to you. Sweet, sweet loving.
• 39:14
  > Speaker D>Now let's go.
• 39:20
  > Speaker D>Okay. Let's go to Fort Worth, and let's go to the Martin house brewing company. Okay, we're gonna talk about their bach slider. So something slightly different now for something completely different. Exactly 5.6% ABV Bach slider is the official beer of Fort Worth's own toadies.
• 39:43
  > Speaker F>I don't know. What is that?
• 39:44
  > Speaker B>Toady.
• 39:44
  > Speaker E>What does that mean?
• 39:45
  > Speaker B>That's the, uh, possum kingdom. Was that the song? Um.
• 39:49
  > Speaker D>What?
• 39:50
  > Speaker E>What?
• 39:51
  > Speaker D>Sprocket?
• 39:52
  > Speaker B>No, toadies. Their song was possum kingdom.
• 39:56
  > Speaker D>Okay.
• 39:58
  > Speaker B>I can't sing it because of copyright issues, and I suck at singing, but look at it.
• 40:03
  > Speaker F>Just make up.
• 40:04
  > Speaker B>And the song, it's a band, I promise, from the nineties.
• 40:08
  > Speaker E>Oh, maybe.
• 40:10
  > Speaker B>Maybe the aughts.
• 40:11
  > Speaker D>So this is an easy drinking, copper colored, lightly hot beer. Perfect for on, uh, your rock music takes you.
• 40:22
  > Speaker F>So.
• 40:22
  > Speaker D>Yes, he might be right with the band called the toadies.
• 40:25
  > Speaker F>Toadies.
• 40:27
  > Speaker D>If this is copper.
• 40:28
  > Speaker E>Yeah, I'm colorblind to red.
• 40:32
  > Speaker B>How can you be a cherry whore and be colorblind to red?
• 40:36
  > Speaker E>I have magic glasses that help me see colors.
• 40:38
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 40:39
  > Speaker E>But I really love the flavor. Cherry. This is delicious.
• 40:43
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 40:43
  > Speaker B>So I like this because it actually lends itself to the, uh, the german brewing tradition of Texas.
• 40:51
  > Speaker E>Totally.
• 40:51
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 40:52
  > Speaker E>And it is chocolatey. It is chocolatey, but it is like. Yes. This is delightful.
• 40:59
  > Speaker D>Yeah. Mm hmm. This is really nice.
• 41:01
  > Speaker F>Dessert.
• 41:02
  > Speaker B>This might be the beer of the show so far.
• 41:05
  > Speaker C>I.
• 41:05
  > Speaker E>No question about it. Yeah, no question about it.
• 41:08
  > Speaker E>This is delicious and makes me kind of nutty.
• 41:13
  > Speaker B>A little roasty, chocolatey.
• 41:15
  > Speaker F>This is the beer I want for a. Back for a whiskey.
• 41:19
  > Speaker E>Oh, okay.
• 41:20
  > Speaker B>So we know what she would pair it with. What about you, Sparky? What would you pair this with?
• 41:25
  > Speaker E>I'm going back to food, man. I mean, I feel like if you.
• 41:28
  > Speaker F>Are you saying whiskey isn't food?
• 41:30
  > Speaker E>It is.
• 41:30
  > Speaker B>Whiskey is life.
• 41:31
  > Speaker E>I it's. It's a meal in a glass. Corn.
• 41:34
  > Speaker E>Yeah, pretty much.
• 41:36
  > Speaker C>But no.
• 41:36
  > Speaker E>Um, for me, this would be, like, some. Just perfect brisket. I would have this with some perfect brisket. A little bit spicy.
• 41:44
  > Speaker E>Not sauced. Oh, my God.
• 41:47
  > Speaker E>Or pastrami. Oh, my God.
• 41:49
  > Speaker D>Oh, there we go.
• 41:50
  > Speaker E>I've been making a lot of pastrami recently.
• 41:53
  > Speaker B>Guy makes his own pastrami.
• 41:55
  > Speaker C>Sure.
• 41:56
  > Speaker D>Oh, this is. Yeah, this is really nice. And I get, like, a little bit of smoke at the end.
• 42:02
  > Speaker E>Yes. Yeah, absolutely.
• 42:04
  > Speaker C>Um.
• 42:04
  > Speaker D>Um, yeah. And I just. And I like. It's not a lingering smoke.
• 42:09
  > Speaker E>No.
• 42:09
  > Speaker D>But just enough to finish it, so to speak.
• 42:12
  > Speaker E>Kind of.
• 42:13
  > Speaker E>Kind of a suggestion of. Yeah, I love that. I love that. That is exactly right.
• 42:17
  > Speaker D>Yum.
• 42:18
  > Speaker E>This is really yum. Um, I really enjoyed this beer.
• 42:20
  > Speaker D>Yeah, this is.
• 42:21
  > Speaker B>I'm incredibly impressed by this place.
• 42:24
  > Speaker F>I know I can think about is what whiskey I want to drink with it.
• 42:27
  > Speaker B>What whiskey would you want with it?
• 42:30
  > Speaker E>Would you go for something smoky to kind of pair with that? Or, like, how would that work? Where would you go?
• 42:37
  > Speaker F>No.
• 42:37
  > Speaker D>Okay.
• 42:38
  > Speaker F>I would go high rye.
• 42:40
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 42:41
  > Speaker F>Because that's spicy. And then this gives that chocolate malty. Like, this, um, is where you land.
• 42:46
  > Speaker D>M m. Okay.
• 42:48
  > Speaker F>I'd probably go, like, classic four roses, single barrel with this.
• 42:51
  > Speaker B>Wow. This might be an episode we have to do.
• 42:55
  > Speaker E>Yes.
• 42:56
  > Speaker B>Beer.
• 42:56
  > Speaker E>The whiskey bag.
• 42:58
  > Speaker C>That's my whiskey bag episode.
• 43:00
  > Speaker F>Yeah, I have to have beer with my whiskey.
• 43:02
  > Speaker E>Can we do a pickle back episode?
• 43:03
  > Speaker C>Because.
• 43:04
  > Speaker F>Zero.
• 43:07
  > Speaker B>We were there. We, like, we were so there.
• 43:10
  > Speaker E>And then sparky broke things.
• 43:12
  > Speaker E>Just kind of my job.
• 43:14
  > Speaker B>Sangria.
• 43:18
  > Speaker E>I love Reverend Mark.
• 43:19
  > Speaker C>Sangia.
• 43:20
  > Speaker E>Words of Reverend Mark from the pulpit.
• 43:24
  > Speaker D>And, like. And I know. German influence of Texas.
• 43:27
  > Speaker F>Sure.
• 43:28
  > Speaker D>That makes sense. But I guess my little pee brain was thinking that you would always go with lighter beers in Texas just because of the heat and the weather. No, I know, I know. And apparently not.
• 43:39
  > Speaker B>They, uh, love stouts in Jamaica, so.
• 43:42
  > Speaker E>Yeah, I mean, Bach beer is just like Texas, period.
• 43:47
  > Speaker B>So it's still a really light bodied beer shiner bar.
• 43:51
  > Speaker E>I mean, my God. I mean.
• 43:53
  > Speaker C>Yeah, it's like.
• 43:54
  > Speaker D>Yeah, right?
• 43:55
  > Speaker E>Like, that's a national pastime.
• 43:57
  > Speaker D>Yeah.
• 43:57
  > Speaker E>Although I would say I would. I would take this shiner bottle.
• 44:03
  > Speaker F>I'm fixing to have to excuse myself, because that, uh, old Fitzpatrick bottled in bond, I feel like might be in love with this beer.
• 44:10
  > Speaker E>Well, there's only one way to find out.
• 44:12
  > Speaker D>Yes, well, you can reach it.
• 44:15
  > Speaker C>Just.
• 44:15
  > Speaker E>Just stretch out.
• 44:17
  > Speaker C>All right.
• 44:18
  > Speaker D>Okay. Five or five. Yes. We're gonna say five.
• 44:23
  > Speaker E>Hey, I just want to say thank you, Martin House. You guys just saved America.
• 44:30
  > Speaker D>Yeah. Right?
• 44:31
  > Speaker C>Y'all.
• 44:32
  > Speaker E>Y'all did it right.
• 44:33
  > Speaker F>This is delicious.
• 44:34
  > Speaker D>Yes, it really is. Okay, last but certainly not least, maybe we're gonna go to St. Arnold Brewing company in Houston, Texas, and we are gonna do the art car IPA.
• 44:48
  > Speaker E>I just smelled this, and it's an.
• 44:50
  > Speaker D>IPA, uh, 7.2% abv. It's an american IPA featuring a blend of both new and old hop varieties from the Pacific Northwest.
• 44:59
  > Speaker D>The nose is a blend of apricot and tropical fruit and mango. The taste starts with big, bitter blood orange that morphs into mangoes and sweet tropical fruits. Okay, so.
• 45:11
  > Speaker E>I'm sorry.
• 45:12
  > Speaker D>No, go ahead.
• 45:13
  > Speaker E>You navigated the alliteration in. That was just amazing. Like, you're my hero, Julianna. Like, that was hero. That's the hero.
• 45:26
  > Speaker B>That's exactly how deep elm became.
• 45:28
  > Speaker F>Deep elm navigating.
• 45:30
  > Speaker E>We're gonna go to Shelbyville. Oh, you mean shovel.
• 45:33
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 45:35
  > Speaker F>Big, bitter blood orange morphs into mangoes, right?
• 45:40
  > Speaker D>I mean, that's a lot to pack.
• 45:44
  > Speaker E>Yeah.
• 45:45
  > Speaker D>And then make it. And then the fact that they're calling this American.
• 45:48
  > Speaker D>Do Americans enjoy blood oranges and mangoes?
• 45:52
  > Speaker E>Um, I mean, Italians.
• 45:54
  > Speaker F>I'm american, and I thoroughly enjoy both.
• 45:57
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 45:57
  > Speaker D>Okay.
• 45:58
  > Speaker E>Even though she supports Alabama.
• 46:00
  > Speaker F>Roll tide.
• 46:02
  > Speaker E>Row tide.
• 46:03
  > Speaker C>Row tide. Um.
• 46:05
  > Speaker D>Um. Wow, the aroma on this show.
• 46:08
  > Speaker E>I could just smell this all day, right?
• 46:14
  > Speaker E>I mean.
• 46:19
  > Speaker D>You'Re just smelling the juice. I mean, this is. You're smelling the juice.
• 46:22
  > Speaker E>Wait, you're smelling the. I just smelled the juice.
• 46:25
  > Speaker B>I'm gonna have to save that as a clip.
• 46:27
  > Speaker C>Wow.
• 46:28
  > Speaker B>Now you just smell the jew.
• 46:31
  > Speaker E>Just one jew around a lot of my people.
• 46:35
  > Speaker B>Oh, that's true.
• 46:36
  > Speaker F>Well, you know, you kind of probably rubbing.
• 46:38
  > Speaker B>He's rubbed elbows.
• 46:43
  > Speaker F>Okay, so I'm not getting mango. I could totally see, like, the blood orange peas. The blood orange peas, for sure, and the.
• 46:49
  > Speaker F>And more like, the, um, zest of a blood orange so far.
• 46:55
  > Speaker D>But I don't get the tropicals way to the end.
• 47:00
  > Speaker E>It's very astringent at the end, but.
• 47:04
  > Speaker D>If you start sort of, like, tapping your tongue at the end, then I get that mango, and it's where I know that's.
• 47:13
  > Speaker B>I'm not. I'm tasting my finger.
• 47:15
  > Speaker D>I know that sounds. Yeah, that. It sounds weird, but. Yes, it felt weird. The astringency. And I don't quite know where that's coming from, but after that, then you get the mango at the finish.
• 47:26
  > Speaker E>The astringency is. Is really kind of a dry, citrusy.
• 47:30
  > Speaker B>Like, in the pith.
• 47:31
  > Speaker E>The very end.
• 47:32
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 47:32
  > Speaker E>Like. Yeah, very well.
• 47:34
  > Speaker B>Yeah, I got a mouth full of pith.
