  We got a woman in the building today. That's awesome. A new brew brother.
• 2:09
  Yeah, a new brew brother.
• 2:11
  You know, this never happens around here. We kind of need a woman's energy to,
• 2:15
  like, bring us down to reality. Because we're just degenerates. Yeah.
• 2:19
  Out of control. And these guys are married, and they're out of control completely.
• 2:24
  Those are the worst ones. Yeah. See that? See, she's on my side.
• 2:28
  People expect me to say the craziest things. These guys say some crazy. They're dark.
• 2:34
  It's because they're married. Yes. It's a darkness. It's a darkness?
• 2:37
  I was married for a long time. Oh, God. It's fucking intrusive thoughts.
• 2:40
  I'm never getting married. It sounds like a horrible thing. It's like your life goes downhill.
• 2:46
  Yeah? Oh, damn it. Come on.
• 2:50
  This is going to be a good time. I don't know who's watching this,
• 2:51
  so I just let it. I didn't say anything.
• 2:54
  You know what? It's a good thing we're fucking great. Yeah, we only got like
• 2:56
  13,000 followers. No big deal. Yeah, no big deal. No big deal.
• 2:59
  Right. And anyway. I'm pretty sure if my wife has ever seen an episode.
• 3:03
  Oh, yeah. You'd be divorced.
• 3:05
  I'm fucking screwed. Yeah. Alan probably gets into arguments,
• 3:09
  but Paul's divorced for sure.
• 3:12
  It's over. He's never going to. He can't come home no more.
• 3:16
  Well, this is episode 73 of Boo Brothers Podcast. We're calling this one.
• 3:20
  Bruised pork and a cult. Oh, my.
• 3:23
  That's what you say. Oh, yeah. But you got to say it like that.
• 3:25
  You got to be like. Bruised pork and cults. Oh, my. No, no. Oh,
• 3:28
  bruised, caught, and poured. Oh, my.
• 3:31
  I'm not drunk enough like Dorothy. I'm not Dorothy drunk yet.
• 3:34
  No, you got to kind of lean into it.
• 3:37
  You know what? Sometimes you got to just be like, you got to emphasize certain
• 3:40
  things like, oh my, right? You need that little Michael Jackson.
• 3:45
  Yeah. I don't know. I got caught up in Michael Jackson the other day.
• 3:48
  Do we have it on a happy's and we're jamming out? Oh God.
• 3:51
  Anyway. So how about you introduce yourself? Who are you?
• 3:55
  Sure. Yeah. Anna Rosberg. I'm the general manager at the Alaris Center.
• 3:58
  And I also oversee the Midwest for the company I work for, Oakview Group.
• 4:02
  Sweet. Okay. So what do you do exactly at the Alera Center here in town?
• 4:08
  Well, I oversee all of our operations. So everything from booking shows,
• 4:11
  I do the concert booking.
• 4:13
  We've got a sales team that does all of the meetings, trade shows,
• 4:16
  all the other 400 events a year.
• 4:18
  Operations, food and beverage, event management, sales, marketing,
• 4:21
  finance, the whole shebang.
• 4:23
  I'm the ringleader of our little circus we've got over there.
• 4:26
  Do you have like a doctorate in media or what?
• 4:29
  No, I should though, honestly. No, I've been doing it for a long time.
• 4:32
  Eight and a half years in Grand Forks now and this is all I've ever done.
• 4:35
  I don't think I could have a real job at this point.
• 4:37
  No. So you know what, Anna, I don't know if you noticed, but I used to work for Live Nation.
• 4:41
  Oh, I don't think I did know that. Yeah, I worked for Live Nation for like eight
• 4:44
  years. Yeah, okay. I worked up in Winnipeg.
• 4:46
  Yeah, I was like a regional manager. Yeah. So basically my job was to make sure
• 4:50
  when the shows got booked and come through my way, I made sure that everything
• 4:55
  was in place for all the talent.
• 4:57
  I did, like, Kanye West, Rihanna, Nerd. I did Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney.
• 5:05
  So many people. You know how it is. Yeah, so you know the drill.
• 5:08
  Yeah, so I was really doing that for a long time.
• 5:10
  I even traveled some time with them to, like, I would go to the Montreal shows.
• 5:13
  I'd go to Vancouver shows.
• 5:15
  It was a great job, and I had a lot of fun. But, you know, doing concerts every two or three months.
• 5:20
  Fantastic. It's a lot of work. I don't think people realize how much work it
• 5:23
  is The hotel stuff, all that stuff Setting all that stuff up It was a lot of
• 5:27
  work And they pay, you know, you get paid great money But you're exhausted Yeah,
• 5:31
  and then, you know, time with your family And all that stuff Yeah.
• 5:35
  I went through relationships like it was going out of style.
• 5:37
  Right. You have to be somebody that gets it, I think, for sure.
• 5:40
  And even a layer center, even the Midwest, we're all doing a million nights
• 5:44
  and weekends and holidays.
• 5:45
  And it's a lifestyle. You're like, I don't know when I'm going to be home.
• 5:47
  Sorry, I don't have a time.
• 5:48
  Depends on how settlement goes. Depends on how the show goes.
• 5:50
  Did an idiot get in a fight in the parking lot? Now I'm with PD until 3 in the morning. Exactly.
• 5:54
  I don't know when I'll be home. So I think that's tough. That is tough.
• 5:58
  But it's fun. It's so fun. Late nights, like working at a bar almost.
• 6:01
  Yeah. No, no, I get it. It's a grind. and then you're up the next morning for
• 6:03
  meetings. It's not like you're, you don't necessarily get to just take the day
• 6:06
  off because you had a show the day before.
• 6:08
  So, a lot of travel. I don't miss that about working the bars until six in the
• 6:12
  morning. Oh, yeah. So that's right. Socializing, yes, but...
• 6:16
  Sleep is fucking non-existent. Right. It's high stress too. No,
• 6:20
  it's high stress. I'm a napper though. So like, I won't lie.
• 6:23
  This is kind of in my nap time right now. So I did this for you guys.
• 6:27
  If I'm like struggling or it's like a really bad week or like crazy or like,
• 6:30
  all right, well, I've been working a million hours. Like, I'm just going to
• 6:33
  go like take a little nap nap and I'll be, I'll be right as rain.
• 6:36
  No, I actually, I preferred working later nights. Like when I was bartending
• 6:40
  and stuff. I'm not a morning person at all.
• 6:42
  I was up by five. I was at the gym at like six.
• 6:45
  I've already worked out. I've done more than most people do by noon already.
• 6:49
  I've been busy doing, running around. Just a humble brag over there.
• 6:53
  Yeah, you know. No, and I'm just saying, it's just who I am, you know.
• 6:57
  I'm just joking. No, I have a really hard.
• 7:00
  These headphones don't work. Yeah. I have a really hard time getting up.
• 7:04
  But, like, once I'm up, I have a really difficult time going to sleep. Wow. Really? Yeah.
• 7:09
  No, I could lay down on the floor right there and take a nap if I needed to.
• 7:11
  Like, see ya, lights out. Yeah, that's okay, you know. What do you do?
• 7:15
  So anyway, this is episode 73 of Blue Brothers Podcast. We got Anna Rosberg here.
• 7:19
  So Anna, I don't know if you've ever seen our show. It's okay if you haven't
• 7:22
  because nobody watches it.
• 7:24
  Like 13,000 people? Yeah, no big deal. You know what? A lot of people,
• 7:28
  like my friends at work, they all are like, oh, Blue Brothers, cool, cool.
• 7:32
  They don't watch it. But lately, they start watching now. Oh,
• 7:35
  good. And they're all like, oh, you guys are pretty funny, actually.
• 7:38
  Yeah. This is kind of fun. You guys crack a lot of jokes and,
• 7:42
  you know, Paul's really dark.
• 7:44
  And Alan's kind of in the middle And you know I'm not dark I've seen the show

  true You know and we're here for the pork and brew That's what we're here too
• 7:57
  Right Talking about the pork and brew,
• 7:58
  What's this How many pork and brews Have there been so far Oh my god I should
• 8:02
  know the answer to that It's a lot It's a lot It's like at least 10 I don't know Is this our 10-12,
• 8:07
  It's 12. Well, he would know. It's a lot. He used to be called something else, right?
• 8:10
  Well, it used to be Beer and Bacon. Beer and Bacon. Right. Here's Beer and Bacon.
• 8:15
  So that got taken over because Bernie's in Fargo, they did an event called Beer and Bacon.
• 8:21
  And as far as I know, Greg and them just gave it up because they went a different
• 8:25
  route. They had a trademark.
• 8:26
  Yeah. And we used to work with a different partner, too. So Happy Heroes has
• 8:28
  been along for the ride. I did something weird to my headphones.
• 8:31
  Has been along for the ride this whole time.
• 8:33
  Yeah, it was going on, too. You don't have to wear them if you don't want to.
• 8:36
  It actually finally came back. It was just weird But yeah Happy Years has been
• 8:39
  along For the ride this whole time All 12 years And we had a different Promoter
• 8:43
  partner at the time And so that's why The name changed To Pork and Brew And
• 8:46
  then it can encompass More than just bacon So we've got all different Pork dishes
• 8:50
  now You know You know what It sucks too for me Because I don't eat pork.
• 8:53
  I know. My dad's a Muslim, so I grew up Muslim, you know, Christian,
• 8:59
  you know, and I don't know, bounce back and forth between my mom and my dad.
• 9:04
  And, you know, and I just never ate pork.
• 9:06
  I have no desire to really eat it. Sometimes I want to try it because it looks
• 9:10
  pretty good. I'm not sure yet.
• 9:11
  I don't know if I get sick if I eat it. I don't think so. No,
• 9:14
  I don't think you get sick.
• 9:16
  Sometimes bacon looks good. Like the candied bacon looks really good sometimes.
• 9:19
  Yeah, let me butler it around on the tray.
• 9:21
  I haven't had to do that for a couple of years. Our staffing's been, like, pretty awesome.
• 9:24
  So we've got a great team. But, like, there was a couple years where I was out
• 9:27
  there, like, butlering that, baking around. Yeah, I remember seeing that. Oh, yeah.
• 9:30
  So let's just hope I don't have to do that this year. Oh, yeah.
• 9:33
  So around here, Anna, what we do, you know, we talk. We talk about all kinds of stuff.
• 9:37
  We just go through a whole pillar of things. And then we drink beer.

  It's like a low-class beer. Oh, God. It's low-class. It's just a delicacy.
• 10:27
  Yeah, that's what they say.
• 10:28
  I can't do it. I don't know how you guys do it. It's like pee in a can.
• 10:33
  Only if it's warm. It's pretty cold. It's pretty cold. It's pretty cold.
• 10:37
  Well, I guess I've never tried pee in a can.
• 10:39
  You have, actually. You try it every day. Oh, God. Sounds like that's something Shannon does, huh?
• 10:45
  Yeah, I mean, you have to have a reference point. Right. I like it. It sounds funny. Okay.
• 10:51
  That's fine by Anna. Look at that. We need you here, Anna. Are you sure you

• 12:13
  Yeah, let's go. Let's try the beer. What are we drinking, Alan?
• 12:15
  So we are following the cult love of Drekker right now, and I've given them
• 12:20
  a lot of shit, but I'm glad they do make other stuff besides their IPAs, which we do have.
• 12:25
  And those sours are great. They are. It's just the fact that they're still so
• 12:30
  fucking thick. You can only drink like... What do you think we drink?
• 12:32
  I mean, what are we drinking? I like the fact that they went to this route.
• 12:35
  It's a Czech dark lager. It's called non-satanic.
• 12:38
  Do you like it yeah you know what I'm not like a huge beer drinker and I don't
• 12:43
  like a lot of dark stuff but I actually like this one to be honest it's like
• 12:46
  it is heavy though I like the flavor it's traditionally a light body like a
• 12:49
  lager but the nice roasty malt will give that nice coffee.
• 12:54
  Paisley coffee-ish roast yeah is this
• 12:56

• 13:50
  Nice to meet you. Do you want to do sour or do you want to get the hops out of the way?
• 13:54
  Let's do a sour for Anna because the hops fighting on just, you like IPAs? Not really?
• 13:59
  No, I don't try it, but I'm not a huge IPA. I'm a dark beer drinker.
• 14:03
  More or less and I like sweet stuff but I don't like IPAs I don't know they
• 14:07
  turn me off if it's super hoppy it's not my jam yeah IPA to me is like a girl who talks too much.
• 14:16
  You're trying to tell her something? No. I was like, you know you say yourself. I can go.
• 14:21
  I can go. No, not like that. You know, like, you know, I'm talking about like
• 14:24
  on your first date or something and she's just running her mouth.
• 14:27
  You're like, oh, my God, can I get a word in?
• 14:29
  Can I say something? Like, can I get a word in? And then she starts talking
• 14:32
  about her like ex or something.
• 14:34
  I'm like, oh, you went down that hole? That type of thing.
• 14:39
  That's an IPA. That's an IPA. That's an IPA, yeah. It is so many of them.
• 14:43
  That's what it is, too. There's a lot of them. There's a lot of them. See that?
• 14:47
  What do we got here, Alan? What did you pop open? I found some sours.
• 14:51
  Oh, you got to get rid of that. Oh, I got to finish this to get a refill. It's not like a new cup.
• 14:54
  No, we drink right out of that cup. We're doing one. This is one of the more
• 15:00
  favorites I like, but I think it's just because everyone likes blueberries.
• 15:02
  It's called Fluff Stuff.
• 15:04
  Fluff Stuff? Yep, so it's a blueberry sour and they use marshmallow.
• 15:06

• 16:01
  Sometimes, hey, you're in the background. Shut up.
• 16:05
  No, here's the good part. The good part is that whenever we go out,
• 16:09
  people think that they're my girlfriends.
• 16:11
  Oh, no. I love it. That you love it?
• 16:13
  You're like, no, they're daddy. That's weird. No, no, no. They're daddy,
• 16:16
  but you know what I mean. That got awkward.
• 16:19
  Daddy. Not that kind. Well, you know, I do it. I'm trying to cleanse my palate
• 16:23
  with my Stanley hair. I do a thing on my TikTok where I say,
• 16:27
  things that women shouldn't say and why women shouldn't be allowed in public.
• 16:31
  I'm familiar with that. I watch your.
• 16:33
  And that was one of them. This girl asked me if I wanted to be her daddy.
• 16:36
  I was like, that was so corny.
• 16:38
  It was so corny. I was like, did she just say that?
• 16:41
  But anyway, I'm out at a restaurant and some guy comes up to me and says,
• 16:46
  man, your girlfriend's beautiful.
• 16:48
  And I go, thanks, man. I appreciate that. No. And then my daughter goes, that's my dad.
• 16:54
  I'm like, he goes, really? He says, you guys kind of look like a couple.
• 16:58
  I was like, I still got it.
• 17:00
  Well, then you look just like a grade A creep right there. Like,
• 17:04
  you look like you should be one of the inmates, my man. Like,
• 17:06
  that's crazy. Hey, listen.
• 17:09
  I'm above, they're above age, you know?
• 17:12
  Although I have age range, you
• 17:14
  know? I would never deal like an 18-year-old. How old are you? I'm old.
• 17:20
  I always say I'm older than the sun, moon, and stars. Oh, okay.
• 17:25
  I'm not mature. I'm a tour. There you go.
• 17:33
  I'm a tour, Anna. I'm a tour. I'm very mature. I, uh, yeah.
• 17:39
  I set standards around here. Yeah. And these guys are married anyway.
• 17:42
  So, right, Paul, you're married?
• 17:44
  Oh, that one's good. That one's good, right? Oh, yeah. What are we drinking,
• 17:47
  Alan? What are we drinking? It's Fluff Stuff.
• 17:49
  Fluff Stuff. Fluff Stuff. What's in it, Alan? It's their blueberry fruited sour
• 17:52
  with marshmallow. It's always good.
• 17:54
  They have like a whole series of this. That's really good. I appreciate when
• 17:57
  Drucker would just make sours like this because it's one fruit and not a shit
• 18:02
  ton of different ones combined together.
• 18:04
  Well, they had this one. They have like an orange one. They have like a strawberry
• 18:07
  one, a great one. The one that's out right now is cranberry orange.
• 18:10
  It's a really good winter...
• 18:12
  But yeah, if they had a strawberry banana, they had every fucking flavor possible. Really? Yeah.
• 18:18
  So anyway. Yeah, I like this. It's good. Yeah. It's like a dessert. It is a dessert.
• 18:23
  So Anna, what are some of the foods we can expect to have at the Pork and Booty Share?
• 18:28
  It's a really good question. I don't know until they show up and I see them,
• 18:31
  but I'll tell you some of the restaurants that are going to be there.
• 18:33
  Oh, go for it. Let's do it. So there's 12.
• 18:35
  And then there's also Cashway, which does all of our bacon. They're our generous sponsor.
• 18:39
  Nice. So there's going to be lots of bacon on a plate. Wander around.
• 18:41
  VIP gets an early entrance to try everything soon and first before everything
• 18:46
  gets crazy in there, squirrely.
• 18:48
  Oh, yeah. There's a BLT bar for those guys.
• 18:50
  Doors open at three for them, five for general public.
• 18:54
  But there will be 12 restaurants plus Cashway, so 13. So come hungry.
• 18:58
  VIP's almost sold out. Nice. I was going to tell you some of the restaurants
• 19:02
  because now I'm drinking beer, so I can't rattle them off.
• 19:04
  It's just out of my head anymore. That's okay. You can look it up.
• 19:06
  You can look it up. You know what?
• 19:07
  The Walk, Little Bangkok, Melissa's Mobile Casino, Cashway. Ellie's Ivy Drafts
• 19:13
  Can At Inns Harry's Steakhouse Rumors Bar and Grill.
• 19:18
  Melissa's is right over there now too Oh yeah Jolly jalapeno It's gonna be good
• 19:22
  Happy camper Oh okay Manny just ate at Melissa's How was Melissa's Manny?
• 19:26
  Good It was pretty good Awesome What'd you have?
• 19:29
  Tacos Yeah tacos? Sweet Okay nice Last year I really like the walk Yeah And
• 19:36
  then I think drafts won right?
• 19:38
  Out of Crixton Yeah they did Jasmine and her husband are really good That place
• 19:42
  is awesome All of it's good And I usually don't like try a lot of it because,
• 19:46
  you know, I'm working, so I don't try the beer, obviously.
• 19:48
  Right. But if there's, like, you know, a good amount, nobody's going to run
• 19:50
  out, I might, like, go pick, like, one or two here or there. Yeah, yeah.
• 19:53
  And I feel like one year there was the bacon-wrapped jalapenos. Those were my favorite.
• 19:58
  I mean, the food's always been there. Yeah, that's my jam right there.
• 20:01
  Bacon-wrapped jalapenos.
• 20:02
  Oh, yeah. Cream cheese and them, like, yeah. Yeah, yeah. The one I don't understand,
• 20:06
  I think they would get into it besides Zoe's Ivy would be brick and barley.
• 20:09
  Oh, yeah, we should ask them. I mean, I'm sure we have asked them.
• 20:13
  They've done it. If they're listening. That's Nick and Sarah.
• 20:15
  Yeah, Nick and Sarah. Call out, call out.
• 20:17
  Nick and Sarah. Next year. I used to work for them back in the day when it was
• 20:21
  Gillies. Oh, okay. When it was really thug fun times. Oh, okay.
• 20:25
  And you could actually be the enforcer. Thug fun, thug fun.
• 20:29
  You could actually be an enforcer at the door as a bouncer. You could treat
• 20:34
  degenerate shitbags like shitbags should be treated.
• 20:37
  All right. If somebody wanted to make a mark there, they'd break out some deep fried pickles.
• 20:43
  Although this guy won't eat a pickle With pork around it Oh my god,
• 20:47
  pickles are gross What? I love pickles So what about that pickle beer?
• 20:52
  I don't like pickle beers Okay, well that's fine But have you made I've tried
• 20:58
  it You're the king of the brews I've tried it You're a good sport at least I'm
• 21:04
  a fan of Half Brothers Pickle Rickle,
• 21:08
  Pickle Pickle Pickle You know what? I'm not a fan. Picklebeer's gross.
• 21:12
  Although, I had a picklebeer from Oliphant.
• 21:15
  Strawberry pickle. Yeah, see, that actually worked for... It's a strawberry pickle.
• 21:19
  It was so good. Yeah, it was really good. It's weird because that was a TikTok
• 21:22
  trend, I think, that popped off.
• 21:24
  It was delicious. And I've only seen three breweries make this,
• 21:27
  and they were the one that had the best of the three. Right, right, right.
• 21:30
  So it's a pickled strawberry or it's a pickle and a strawberry?
• 21:33
  It's pickled brine and strawberry puree.
• 21:37
  Yeah. It was so good. The balance is you need to have more strawberry to balance
• 21:41
  out the tart of the pickle, but you've got to find the nice balance.
• 21:45
  But the fruit always has to be dominant because pickle brine is so acidic.
• 21:49
  Yes. So it like cuts the acidic. Yeah, and so you still get the sweet and the tart a little bit.
• 21:53
  I would try that. It was good. They did a good job. It's fucking weird how well
• 21:58
  it worked, but it's such a weird thing. Yeah.
• 22:00
  No, it worked perfectly. I loved it. I thought it was a great beer.
• 22:03
  They make it every year now, and it's usually at a Drekker Fest.
• 22:07
  It'll be at Junkyard too.
• 22:11
  It's yearly, but I don't think they'll bring it out for rare beer picnics.
• 22:15
  This year? No. I just know it's on the market as a thing. Yeah, absolutely.
• 22:19
  Yeah. So you'll never be the guy that's like got the Bush Light with the pickle
• 22:22
  spear in it at the bar? Absolutely not.
• 22:25
  It's like North Dakota. No, I'm sorry. Bush Light is beneath me.
• 22:28
  I am too, I'm bougie. They're going to call. I am a bougie crap beer drinker.
• 22:32
  The refs are going to call from Bush Light.
• 22:34
  Really? They're going to be like, this is blasphemy. Change my mind.
• 22:37
  Change my mind, Bush Light. Here's the thing. I will go head to head with the
• 22:41
  guys from Dakota Sales because I love Scott and all them, the Keefers.
• 22:44
  Yeah. But I will fuck with Scott all the time because he knows him and I go
• 22:48
  to, him and I just shoot the shit with each other. Yeah.
• 22:50
  And it's funny because he knows where he is and I'm like, he's just a good guy
• 22:56
  for sport, but he, he's a big, he's a big gym rat. That's all right.
• 23:00
  Paul, man, what's going on with you today? Yeah.
• 23:02
  Oh, man, I got that shot in my neck two days ago, and then today I worked my
• 23:06
  back. Apparently, it takes like two weeks for it to kick in.
• 23:08
  You know, I got that epidural for my pinched nerve. What's with the shades?
• 23:11
  Who are you? Like 007 or something like that? Dude, this light is like right in my eyes.
• 23:15
  Are you agent craft brew beer guys? I don't know what it is.
• 23:19
  Like, somebody who, it would probably be me because this is my studio,
• 23:22
  but yeah, that light is like directly in my face.
• 23:25
  Okay, all right. It's fun there. You should talk to the boss about that light.
• 23:29
  Yeah, right? You've got to talk to somebody.
• 23:30
  Literally, I just took these off, and all I see right now is spots.
• 23:33
  Oh, no. You guys trying to be like Piggy Smalls? I thought he was trying to
• 23:35
  be like Piggy Smalls. Oh, yeah.
• 23:37
  Yeah. Oh, here. Hold on. Well, he is kind of pink, right? Oh,
• 23:40
  and the chain? Yeah, he's kind of. Yeah. You look kind of pink,
• 23:42
  too. Yeah, I know, right?
• 23:46
  That's funny as hell. No, no, I get it. I get it. No, I was wondering.
• 23:49
  I was like, why is he wearing shades? Mm-hmm.
• 23:50
  And you're not as chatty as you normally are. What's going on with you?
• 23:53
  Yeah, just in pain, man. You're in pain? Yeah. Wow, this is what it takes to get you to be quiet.
• 23:59
  No, it's because you have an IPA. Like, the girls that talk too much,
• 24:01
  you've got me in here. So you probably can't.
• 24:04
  It's my fault. I'm the problem. That's okay. You know what? It's okay.
• 24:06
  See that? All we got to do is bring Anna more. You'd be quiet.
• 24:11
  There you go. I like it. Anyway, well, okay, Alan just poured more beer.
• 24:14
  He's always pouring beer, Anna. Be prepared.
• 24:17
  So the one thing I would like to. The moment you move on and you finish, he's on it. Oh, I know.
• 24:22
  I was behind you guys. And I just have to keep getting my emotional support,
• 24:25
  Stanley. to like cleanse my palate. Your water, yes.
• 24:28
  See? So the one thing I want to say about that pickle thing is that trend might
• 24:32
  actually pick up more traction than you think this year. Like a lot of breweries
• 24:35
  are going to do pickle beers.
• 24:37
  That's okay. You know, at Fork and Brew, you think we'll see some?
• 24:40
  In general around the nation because that pickle thing has picked up wildly.
• 24:43
  Why hasn't Bush Light done it? Bush Light pickle.
• 24:46
  So I was waiting for them to do it because why wouldn't they?
• 24:49
  Why wouldn't they do it? They did something. What was the one they did this
• 24:50
  year? It was disgusting.
• 24:51
  It was, so they released Apple, Peach, and they did Lime. Lime,
• 24:55
  yeah. Lime, I think, was the one I tried. And I was like, this is bad.
• 24:58
  It was gross. It was gross.
• 24:59
  It was like gasoline. I was like, I don't want this.
• 25:02
  Well, now Keystone finally had jumped on that train. Now they're doing a Keystone Apple coming.
• 25:06
  That'll be released to the nation in a few months. Just because Bush Light Apple has done so well.
• 25:12
  Hey, you think Bush Light is beneath me? Keystone is like the bottom of my foot.
• 25:17
  Oh, when that whole Bud Light thing came out, I tried to switch to Keystone
• 25:21
  because I think Bush Light is actually owned by Bud Light. Right. Yep.
• 25:25
  And I tried Keystone. Oh, God, it was like sucking on a wet sock.
• 25:30
  Wait, don't you need a frame of reference for that?
• 25:34
  Just wondering. No, Keystone. You're witty. Anna's on it, bro. Anna's on it.
• 25:41
  You're invited all the time now. Thank you. You're in. You're a brother.
• 25:44
  I'm a brother. You're a brother. Don't be a brother. You're a brother. That's right.
• 25:51
  Ladies and gentlemen, introducing white chocolate. Oh, snap.
• 25:56
  That's right. White chocolate. Right there. Is that me? White chocolate.
• 25:58
  White chocolate. Anna's now white chocolate.
• 26:00
  I thought it was going to be more like Lemon Shaniqua because that was my name
• 26:02
  in like eighth grade. Lemon Shaniqua.
• 26:04
  Wow. I'll take white chocolate. No, white chocolate. Let me take your white
• 26:06
  chocolate. You don't have the snaps you're shipping. I don't.
• 26:09
  I don't. That's it. That's it.
• 26:11
  You know also i always tell the guys they always

• 26:17

• 26:44
  See, again, good thing your wife doesn't listen to me. But anyway,
• 26:49
  I always tell the guys all the time, I said, so I had one daughter with my ex-wife
• 26:54
  and I had two kids with my kid's mom in Winnipeg. She's Jamaican.
• 27:00
  So my black girl quota is up. I'm good.
• 27:05
  I no longer date black girls. I'm strictly white girls.
• 27:08
  You just said white guys. Yeah.
• 27:11
  You did. I'm so glad you caught that too.
• 27:13
  You have a frame of reference. I still move my words.
• 27:17
  You guys know damn well I don't think guys. I mean, if you put a wig on it,
• 27:20
  it could be white chicks.
• 27:22
  Yeah, white chicks. Go, go. You're going to have a frame of reference,
• 27:24
  man. So he's just white guys, I guess.
• 27:27
  White guys for Shannon. All right. It's going to be all over Facebook.
• 27:31
  All over Facebook tomorrow. All these guys are going to come out of the woodwork. I know, right?
• 27:36
  Oh, I'm going to find that time. I'm going to cut that time stamp,
• 27:39
  and I'm going to send it to Alan. Oh, fuck yeah.
• 27:44
  Ready? Watch this.
• 27:46
  Gretchen. Yeah. Yeah.
• 27:50
  You want to go there? She's a lovely lady. You want to go there?
• 27:53
  You don't have any recordings of that. I might.
• 27:56
  Worst thing I ever did. New Year's Eve. We're at... Is it New Year's?
• 27:59
  No. It's Manny's going away party.
• 28:01
  He's still here, though. You know what? That's another thing.
• 28:04
  That's another show. That's right. That's another show. That's another show
• 28:08
  within itself. That was its own chaos. Manny will be going away.
• 28:10
  He just didn't leave yet. Okay.
• 28:12
  But so we're at Manny's going away party at the tap room. and we see this guy.
• 28:18
  Thing. No, I don't say thing. Be nice.
• 28:21
  Be nice. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Before Paul says anything else.
• 28:24
  Paul, I'm going to get out next to you. Hold on.
• 28:26
  Okay. The thoughts and views expressed by Paul do not necessarily reflect those of the Brew Brothers.
• 28:32
  Viewer discretion is advised. You know what I'm saying? Because Paul says some
• 28:35
  things that are really outrageous.
• 28:37
  So Gretchen, who is a guy who is transformation to a female.
• 28:42
  Okay. Who has also, he also has breasts.
• 28:45
  Okay. And he has a beard. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. And he was wearing a really pretty dress. Sure.
• 28:50
  Okay. Right? And was sitting at tap room. Mm-hmm. And somehow we turn around
• 28:55
  and Paul is over there speaking with Gretchen. Okay. He's having a conversation.
• 29:01
  Yeah. No shame. No. He seems like a nice person.
• 29:04
  And Paul's talking to Gretchen. And I didn't get a picture.
• 29:07
  I should have gotten a picture. I'm so mad that I didn't get a picture because
• 29:11
  I could have used that over his head forever. Oh.
• 29:15
  However, Gretchen was there on her birthday. She had a little birthday's.
• 29:18
  What do they call it? Birthday sash on. Birthday sash on. And then it was her
• 29:22
  birthday when none of her friends showed up for her birthday.
• 29:25
  Oh, no. That's terrible.
• 29:26
  Good for you for hanging out with Gretchen. Yeah, and I actually had a plan
• 29:29
  behind this, too, because when Gretchen showed back up to shoot up the place,
• 29:32
  I was going to be the only person that was going to be saved.
• 29:35
  The only story. You are dark.
• 29:37
  You're real dark. He's very dark.
• 29:39
  You're real dark. That's fire. Gretchen in a club. Shoot for what?
• 29:42
  What are you going to say, Manny? Hey.
• 29:46
  We can't see. You got to bend down. How the fuck do you know that it was a he or she?
• 29:51
  Well, it goes by Gretchen.
• 29:55
  So he identifies as a female, but I guess at one time he was a male.
• 30:00
  I don't know. He's checking the dipstick.
• 30:03
  Hold on. I'm not going to lose my job for today's comments, so I'll just be
• 30:07
  quiet. No comment. Hold on. We got one for him, too. Stark.
• 30:11
  I can't help it. We all run on Alan time. Yeah, it's Alan time.
• 30:15
  It's Alan time. He says stuff like that.
• 30:17
  For these two guys, you got to have buttons because they're under eye control.
• 30:20
  We should get a Manny button too. Probably.
• 30:24
  But, you know, hey, you go get a Manny, a Petty, that's a good one, right?
• 30:29
  We all get pedicures together, all the guys. You really do? I got better feet than you.
• 30:33
  No, you don't. My feet are way better. My feet are way better.
• 30:35
  All the chit chons should be, how's your chon?
• 30:38
  If you had better feet, you'd have OnlyFans, but I don't see this money.
• 30:42
  I do have better feet than you do. We just shoot a girl's at.
• 30:44
  OnlyFans doesn't improve. I only went there that one time because I couldn't
• 30:47
  get into Aiden's nails, but that was Angel Nails. So you guys go to Angel.
• 30:50
  Yeah. That's where that crazy girl was that, you know, that I was overhearing
• 30:54
  and I was like, I wanted to lay in traffic. She's talking about Huss.
• 30:58
  Oh, she didn't meet me. I met her, though. I heard her talk for 45 minutes.
• 31:02
  You met Nene? It is brutal.
• 31:04
  We're going to abort that mission. No comment. No comment. We're going to abort
• 31:07
  that mission. But she met Huss and Eklund.
• 31:11
  I did not meet them. I just overheard them. Yeah, you seem to be chit-chatting.
• 31:15
  Oh, yeah. And, you know, you know. Damn. You know how it is. Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:19
  We'll just fall back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What happened in Vegas?
• 31:22
  Stay in Vegas, you know. What happened in Vegas? Stay in Vegas.
• 31:25
  So what did we drink last, Alan? What was that? So we just crushed this blueberry
• 31:28
  cobbler, the Slang DuJour series from Drecker.
• 31:30
  I was going to say, you know what this reminds me of? You ever had a Warhead candy? Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:35
  Tastes like Warhead. Honestly. Oh, but not a sour. Like when you get the ick
• 31:38
  off the top, you know, the first layer.
• 31:40
  Yeah, that like candle wax. Yes.
• 31:43
  Yeah. I'm cool with this because at least they didn't overdo it with the cinnamon
• 31:46
  on there. So we, this is just the craziest thing. You guys do need a woman around here? Yeah.
• 31:50
  So we just put a dark stout into the fluff, into this, and we're just like raw dogging these.
• 31:58
  We're just raw dogging these cups. This is like full of purple flowers or whatever.
• 32:04
  Isn't that how life goes?
• 32:05
  You just have raw dog life? we're just going through like raw dung in life I
• 32:09
  mean we have no shame in our game we're a mixed nation of flavors here yeah
• 32:14
  I guess I'm going to keep my emotional support cup in the day,
• 32:18
  that's okay Anna got her little water cup are you sitting there for Paul?
• 32:24
  Paul's in pain today because he's quiet as hell I told you on the phone I knew
• 32:27
  there was something wrong yeah I knew there was something wrong Paul yes Paul's definitely.
• 32:32
  No I'm fine I'm just teasing I knew something was going on with Paul I just
• 32:36
  had to shame you guys a little bit about your dirty cups. You know how guys
• 32:38
  are. We don't care about cups.
• 32:40
  No, no. A cup can be sitting in our house for like three or four days.
• 32:43
  We just horse that man to it. Oh, I can't do that. I'm not him.
• 32:46
  An old coffee cup was just resident from yesterday's coffee.
• 32:50
  He don't wash his coffee cup. No, no.
• 32:51
  I can't do that. I got to wash my other. Listen, Anna, my little apartment,
• 32:54
  you could wash, you could eat off the floors that clean. I'm a very clean person. Yeah.
• 32:58
  No, I'm serious. I'm a clean person. I don't joke around when it comes to like cleaning.
• 33:03
  I'm a neat freak. I am. I'm a neat freak. I'm just, as I'm looking at the residue
• 33:07
  in these cups that we're like, yeah, cheer.
• 33:09
  You know what? So maybe here we get a little dirty, but at home, I'm clean.
• 33:13
  So since we are the nation of flavor right now. What is this,
• 33:15
  Alan? What is this? We just drank a chonk.
• 33:18
  A chonk-a-chonk-a-chonk series. Okay. Which one is this? This is a Neapolitan,
• 33:21
  a Sunday sour. Oh. Yeah. Is that you?

  That's it? Yeah, that's you. That's Paul, right? Paul. Paul? Take a little bit.
• 33:27
  I'll take it. Drink a little bit out of it. What are you drinking over there?
• 33:31
  Sierra Nevada's Pils. I fucking, that is. I'm from Nevada. Sierra Nevada,
• 33:35
  that is my favorite right now because it's a Pilsner.
• 33:38
  It's a nice light beer, but it's the first, it's, they've made a Pilsner that's
• 33:42
  actually marketable that they released nationwide. Yeah. It's great.
• 33:46
  What do you think it is beer? Okay. This is really interesting.
• 33:48
  Like you can taste the chocolate. It's definitely Neapolitan.
• 33:51
  I don't know if, I mean, just a little sample is all you need.
• 33:54
  It's like a little sweet treat. What is this? Neapolitan. It's pretty good actually.
• 34:00
  Is Drecker going to be here too? Yeah. You know what? Courtney will,
• 34:04
  Courtney more than likely will be there for that one.
• 34:06
  But I'm trying really hard to get the brewer, the guy who makes all the beer.
• 34:09
  Yes. Trying to get him on the show.
• 34:10
  Oh, that'd be good. Are you talking about Matt? Yeah, Matt. Matt's awesome.
• 34:13
  There's another guy. There's another guy that brews beer at Drecker.
• 34:17
  Yeah. I told you guys, I met him years ago.

  He's from Arizona. Okay. So Drecker went to Arizona to get this guy to move
• 34:25
  from Arizona to North Dakota. Right. His name is Mikal.

• 34:46
  Oh, yeah, okay. Great place. I love Tempe, yeah. So, and I told you this too.

  We're talking about pedicure is your feet. You're biting your toes?
• 35:59
  Oh, no, I can't do it. I don't stretch that well. That'd be funny if he's biting his toes.
• 36:02
  I was like, you guys really got to get pedicures together and he goes,
• 36:05
  oh, no, I'm a biter and he does this. I'm like, are you biting your toes?
• 36:08
  Pedicure is toes. Look at these. These are sexies, you know.
• 36:11
  Yeah, I get my nose. Oh, I don't know about yours, but.
• 36:15
  My hands I don't get done as much in the wintertime. But sometimes you get your
• 36:19
  hands done, too. Of course. It could be a manicure. Hell yeah.
• 36:22
  My bad. Alan's over here chewing on his toenails. He's like,
• 36:25
  I'm a biter. That's why I don't get pedicures. What?
• 36:27
  Yeah. Alan doesn't come with us usually. He's always busy doing something else. Man things?
• 36:32
  Yeah. I don't know. Alan, he has like a thousand dogs at home. Yeah. Yeah.
• 36:36
  Animals. His wife is a... Journey home animal rescue. Journey home.
• 36:39
  Yeah. Go ahead. I didn't put that together.
• 36:41
  Yeah. Yeah. That's good. That's cool. So he has like tons of animals to take
• 36:44
  care of. Yeah. Responsibility.
• 36:46
  You guys are just having a spa day. The rest of you. Yeah. I love my wife,
• 36:48
  but she uses our house as a fucking house for animals. Pet sanctuary? Yeah.
• 36:53
  You got lots of animals. But they're so good to us at the O'Leary Center.
• 36:56
  They'll bring their pets in that are adoptable, which makes me want to take them all home.
• 36:59
  Well, and that's what I was going to ask you because I know you guys have done
• 37:03
  stuff with them because I know they've always...
• 37:05
  Had, I don't know, they're not big events, but they're just good size events
• 37:08
  there. Right, yep. But I know there's a lot of animals they get.
• 37:12
  Adopted from there. And we do like staff parties. We're like a really utopian
• 37:16
  society in our office culture. It's a little silly.
• 37:19
  But we'll bring like the puppies in to like play with. Do you have any animals
• 37:23
  at home or not? I have a geriatric dog. Her name's Dolce.
• 37:26
  I did not name her that, so don't judge me. This was like college,
• 37:29
  Anna. That's fancy. Dolce.
• 37:30
  I'm waiting for her to cross that rainbow bridge. She's 15. Oh,
• 37:34
  she's ready to go. She's a little Pomeranian. She's a white little fluffy Pomeranian.
• 37:37
  She's in great shape still.
• 37:38
  She's got one eye, missing all her teeth. Oh, wow.
• 37:40
  She's going to the bathroom in my house lately. I'm like, oh,
• 37:42
  bitch. And this is a brand new construction house. I'm like, you got to go.
• 37:45
  I keep saying to my kids, like, honey, this is her last Christmas. Time to go, yeah.
• 37:50
  For five years, my kids are like, you keep saying it's her last Christmas,
• 37:52
  but she's still hanging on. I'm like, yes, honey, but it's time for her to cross
• 37:56
  the Rainbow Bridge. It's time to go.
• 37:57
  Has she gone to a lot of vet visits? No, she's actually really healthy.
• 38:00
  That's the problem. That bitch is going to live for like another five years.
• 38:02
  Wow. She's going to outlive you guys.
• 38:04
  And then I have a cat too. Her name's Chloe. She's a, we call her Clozifer.
• 38:07
  Clozifer, why? Yeah, she's just not that nice. She's like a black little tuxedo
• 38:10
  cat. She's kind of mean. What you need? What you need?
• 38:13
  Can you hear me now? Yeah. I was going to say, I had the exact same thing.
• 38:16
  I had a 15-year-old husky, totally healthy, but just would walk around and just shit.
• 38:21
  Didn't even know it was shitting. Right. We're like, why are we shitting?
• 38:23
  Why are we shitting right now? Do you know how many times I would have to pick
• 38:25
  up little Tootsie Rolls off my floor? Uh-uh. Yeah.
• 38:28
  The Soros wiping it, like so mad. Yeah. The dog was super happy taking it to
• 38:32
  the vet to go get killed, you know?
• 38:35
  And I'm like, the dog's perfectly fine. He just can't hold his shit in.
• 38:38
  And I'm not going to put a diaper on it. Okay. So I bought diapers.
• 38:40
  I haven't really used them. What diapers? I bought, like, dog diapers.
• 38:43
  I'm like, what am I going to do with it? Like, this is a brand new house.
• 38:45
  I want it to smell like new construction, man. It's a year old. Like, come on.
• 38:48
  And that dog, she's, like, ruining it. I'm selfish. I'm selfish.
• 38:52
  And I don't want no animals and nothing. I want to be able to travel and do
• 38:55
  what the hell I want to do when I want to do it. Yeah.
• 38:57
  You know what I mean? I don't want no responsibilities but me.
• 39:01
  Right. Well, it makes sense. My neighbors, I think, think I run,
• 39:03
  like, a trap house because there's, I travel a lot for work.
• 39:07
  And there is a different car every day coming to, like, take care of my pets.
• 39:10
  It's too many, like, friends, random, like, just coming into my house, taking care of pets.
• 39:13
  And I'm like, they're probably like, what is going on over there?
• 39:15
  That's okay. That's the fifth car this week. You know what? If you got friends
• 39:18
  that help you out, why not?
• 39:20
  I think that's cool. But she's 15. It's time to go. Yeah, it's time to go,
• 39:23
  you know. Peacefully interstate, I hope. I've been there.
• 39:26
  I've had the 5,000 square foot home, three acres.
• 39:30
  I've had all that. I don't want that responsibility no more.
• 39:34
  I'm over it. Like, I don't know what it is, but it's a lot of work.
• 39:38
  Yeah, it is. And this bitch is deaf, too. so we call her helen keller she's
• 39:41
  blind in one eye like helen keller it's okay to go you're taking on for us honey
• 39:47
  you've had a good life bam you could put her in one of those little fake flying
• 39:52
  planes oh shit and just send her on her way that's my kids would be so mad,
• 39:57
  they're like mommy don't don't put her to sleep i'm like guys i would never,
• 40:01
  But, like, until this, it's time. We can get rid of her if you want,
• 40:04
  you know. Oh, my gosh. We're going to have a conspiracy. My kids aren't watching
• 40:07
  this. They're not on social media.
• 40:09
  We can get rid of the dog, you know. I mean, it is what it is.
• 40:13
  Sometimes dogs fall and trip.
• 40:17
  You forgot that. Oh, it's bad. Yeah, we're bad. We're bad. We're so bad.
• 40:21
  What are we drinking at, Alan? Alan's always pouring beer. Damn, that's good. Yeah.
• 40:25
  What's that? What's that? We did the perc. I'm so full. How do you guys drink
• 40:28
  all these beers? The perc.
• 40:30
  It's a peach drink. This is just drinking water. He's trying to cleanse my palate
• 40:33
  so I can get the full profile of all these beers.
• 40:36
  He's cleansing her palate. This is a peach ring candy sour.
• 40:40
  It's a grand folk thing, you know what I'm saying?
• 40:44
  I feel like I'm being picked on here and I don't like it. Oh, you started it.
• 40:49
  I'm just kidding. Man, he's sitting in for Paul now because Paul's...
• 40:53
  For some strange reason. This is pain. I told you when I heard the tone of light.
• 40:57
  Yeah. He said that. He said that when I was talking to you on the phone when
• 40:59
  I called you. I knew there was something wrong. When I called you on the phone,
• 41:01
  he said, uh, what's wrong with him? He doesn't sound the same.
• 41:05
  That's what he said on the phone. Yeah. The Pichos. What's this called, Alan?
• 41:08
  Pert-O's. It's a peach ring. Is that what we're like? The Pichos candies? Oh.
• 41:12
  It does. It tastes exactly like the. Yeah. It does. That's crazy.
• 41:16
  Isn't it crazy how to get that right?
• 41:17
  I don't even really like those candies, to be honest. so I wouldn't go out of
• 41:21
  my way to drink that? Yeah, it's Peach O's. It's the Ciaz.
• 41:24
  Damn, you got a crazy beer around here, man. It tastes exactly like a Peachtree.
• 41:28
  Like even the waxy little aftertaste. Okay, all right. You know what?
• 41:32
  Drekker. Low-key you like it, huh? Low-key Drekker.
• 41:35
  I was never really a big fan of Drekker. I give them a lot of shit.
• 41:39
  They have grown on me so much. They make some good beer. Let me see that one
• 41:42
  quick. They make some good beer.
• 41:43
  I got a ticket to pick. They make some good beer.
• 41:46
  This guy right here, he used to drink shit beer too before he met me.
• 41:49
  What beer did you drink? What did you drink all the time?
• 41:53
  Don't worry about it. Yeah, he drank shit beer before he met me.
• 41:56
  I introduced him to craft beer. King of beer.
• 41:58
  Yeah, king of beer. He's a Budweiser. Heavy? Bud heavy? Red can?
• 42:01
  Oh, man. Not anymore. Not anymore, though. He's like, give me an IPA.
• 42:05
  When we go to the store, he's like, give me some, I don't need a dark beer.
• 42:08
  He loves the Breckenridge vanilla.
• 42:10
  Yeah. He loves that now. You fancy now. Fancy now. I'm always fancy.
• 42:14
  No, you're not. I just never got into dish with, you know, beer.
• 42:17
  Then who's this Tupac guy?
• 42:20
  Who's that? The fuck is your problem, man? It's a king, man.
• 42:24
  What? It's not fucking Jay-Z and 50 Cent, you know? No, no, no.
• 42:27
  I'm a Biggie. I'm Biggie.
• 42:28
  If it's a gun to my head, Tupac or Biggie, it's Biggie, right?
• 42:31
  Listen, I'm Tupac. I'm from Brooklyn.
• 42:34
  Jay-Z's the best, and then Biggie's next. That's it. That's just how it is.
• 42:38
  The only one that's better than... I'm a real New Yorker.
• 42:41
  What the fuck am I? I'm from New York City. Listen to that accent.
• 42:43
  What the fuck am I? I'm from New York City. He's from Rochester.
• 42:45
  He's from upstate New York. Oh, the fancy upstate. I'm still your boss. Bougie.
• 42:50
  You're bougie. You guys are bougie upstate. You guys are bougie.
• 42:52
  I'm still your boss. We argue about this all the time. I'm still your boss.
• 42:55
  He thinks 50 Cent is the best. 50 Cent is the greatest.
• 42:59
  Oh, no, but he's great, but he's petty. Like, how many years are you?
• 43:01
  I love that. I love it. He's a smart guy. I have the troll mentality. There you go.
• 43:05
  Shut the fuck up now. What?
• 43:08
  No, no. You know what? The 50 Cent. Hey, I'm a Leo like you.
• 43:11
  I'm petty like 50 Cent. I'm the real. Hey, hey, hey. By the way,
• 43:13
  I'm the real Leo. I'm the real Leo.
• 43:16
  If you're the real Leo, you would show off your African tattoo.
• 43:20
  Because his birthday is in August. My birthday is in August.
• 43:23
  But I'm a real Leo. So you say he's a real Leo. See, one of my kids is a Leo, too.
• 43:28
  Wait, was it true, Paul? Said everybody knows Diddy is the best. Wow.
• 43:32
  I don't think you can sit down. Hold on. This is the final one.
• 43:35
  Those interviews expressed by Paul do not necessarily reflect those of the Brew Brothers.
• 43:40
  Viewer discretion is advised. We don't, we don't, no Diddy around here.
• 43:44
  And the last episode of the Brew Brothers was 73. Yeah, 73.
• 43:49
  No Diddy around here. Are canceled.
• 43:51
  Yeah, no Diddy around here. What are you thinking of? What are you thinking
• 43:53
  of that whole Puff Daddy stuff? I don't know enough about it, but it's terrible.
• 43:57
  It's terrible. So you want to know? True story. So you tell me.
• 44:01
  Terrible. True story. P.E.D.'s bad. No, I've been to a Puff Daddy party.
• 44:06
  Oh, no. I'm a New Yorker. I know Puff.
• 44:08
  I've been to Puff Daddy parties. I was at the- They all grew up together.
• 44:12
  Yeah. Is there anything in this that I should worry about? Oh,
• 44:14
  shit. Oh, shit. You're right, too.
• 44:17
  I've been over here just drinking this, but if I start slurring, guys- No, no.
• 44:21
  It's a P.E. Daddy party. I used to go to the D-Ditty party, my pup, dad, I went to pub.
• 44:26
  Daddy parties where there was in public. There was like in like gymnasiums.
• 44:30
  There was in clubs. Gymnasiums. Yeah.
• 44:32
  Play a little racquetball. No, no, no. And when I say gymnasiums,
• 44:36
  they had like in New York City, we have parties that like when the city college
• 44:40
  have a party, they have it in a gymnasium because they didn't have a place to
• 44:43
  have it. It's like a little high school prom. So it's innocent is what you're saying.
• 44:46
  It's pretty much. I mean, back then it was a Puff Daddy party.
• 44:49
  See, I know Puff Daddy. Not P. Diddy. I don't know P. Diddy. He changed.
• 44:54
  He definitely changed. You know, and I can say, I can honestly say,
• 44:58
  like, if I saw him today, you know, we know each other.
• 45:02
  You can't act like we don't know each other, but I don't think I would say hello.
• 45:05
  Well, I hope that you guys wouldn't run into each other unless he's,
• 45:07
  you know, unless you're the jailer and he's the correctional.
• 45:10
  Well, when he gets out, when he gets out, I'll probably, you know,
• 45:12
  run across him, you know, never know. That's crazy.
• 45:15
  He's kind of like the black Epstein. Yes. I was just going to say that.
• 45:18
  I was like, hey, Epstein's bad. P. Diddy's bad.
• 45:21
  Release the files. It's all bad. I can't help. Women's rights. They both have some.
• 45:25
  They both have so much shit of a stacked file.
• 45:28
  Oh, my God. I don't know what's going on here in this world.
• 45:30
  This is not a PC podcast. Nobody warned me. No.
• 45:34
  We go all over. We go all over. We go everywhere. If we'll be PC,
• 45:38
  we'll take it back to Anne and be like, so events for this year.
• 45:43
  Yeah, right? We go back. Yeah.
• 45:46
  So what else is happening? We don't have any Diddy events coming this way,
• 45:49
  but what other good events happened? Hey, one of my favorite events,
• 45:52
  I went to the first one last year.
• 45:54
  The PBR. The PBR. Oh, my God. I had so much fun watching that.
• 45:58
  That was so cool. Like, I'm from New York City. We don't do bulls and stuff.
• 46:01
  You've never seen bulls? Nah.
• 46:03
  It's cool, cool. Is this all mine? Yeah. No, no. How about now?
• 46:06
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Question.
• 46:08
  Because, like, you know, I've seen that thrown MMA at the Alaris,
• 46:12
  but they always put them in, like, the ballroom. The ballrooms. Yes, yep.
• 46:15
  Can the Alaris get an actual, like, pro UFC fight in the main event?
• 46:20
  Honestly, those have been pretty exclusive to, like, major markets.
• 46:23
  So I have not heard of any secondary tertiaries where they're doing anything that's televised.
• 46:28
  So I would love to. Like we're always.
• 46:31
  Or like a fight, like a fight night. Not a big, not a car.
• 46:34
  What if we start a campaign for it? Let's do it.
• 46:38
  I'm all in. I'll always make the most aggressive deal in the Dakotas.
• 46:41
  Like we'll get creative. We'll get weird. But it's just not something that's
• 46:44
  been like out. That's an option.
• 46:45
  Like we're on booking calls all the time. That's not even one that I.
• 46:47
  Because the ballroom is cool, but it's hard to, it's hard to see.
• 46:50
  Right. Right. And actually, I don't know which one you went to.
• 46:53
  We did a couple down there, and then no disrespect for that promoter,
• 46:56
  but it got a little squirrely, so we had to reschedule.
• 46:59
  And I was like, okay, if you want to reschedule again, we're just going to cancel
• 47:01
  it because we're not doing a place. We did a Brew Brothers there,
• 47:03
  and we were supposed to be ringside, and all of a sudden, we were in the back
• 47:06
  corner looking at the projector.
• 47:07
  The one with Casey. His brother's a fighter on the throne. Okay,
• 47:11
  yeah. And that was a good one. It was a good show. It was a great show.
• 47:15
  However, I don't think that they—and we were partners on one of them,
• 47:19
  and we weren't partners on the other, and I don't know which one it is.
• 47:21
  So we get a little bit more say if we're on the side of the deal where,
• 47:23
  you know, we're all putting it in the pot, the revenues and expenses.
• 47:26
  I don't like, I love the ballroom and I love the atmosphere because it's really
• 47:29
  like loud. It's crazy. I didn't like the AV. I thought we could have done a better job.
• 47:35
  So if you were in the back, you could see better. I think when they were on
• 47:38
  the ground in the ring, you're like, I can't even see this.
• 47:41
  And I don't like that experience. How many people can see that?
• 47:44
  Well, in the arena, we can do a concert up to 25,000 if we have a GA floor,
• 47:48
  like 18,500 if it's seated. And then in the ballrooms, we can do like 1,800 up to 2,000.
• 47:54
  You know what? We're going to go in a campaign at Dana White saying we want
• 47:58

• 48:00
  Yeah. I mean, my cousin did a main event in Kansas City. Yeah.
• 48:03
  He has a cousin that fights in the UFC.
• 48:05
  Yeah. It's Cousin David. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it. I love it.
• 48:08
  No, I think we should do it. I think we should do it. What do you got to say,

• 48:23
  All right. Anyway, this is part of the show where we go on the sports,
• 48:27
  Anna. You know, we talk about the UFC.
• 48:30
  How'd you like that? That was pretty cool, man. UFC 324 is happening tomorrow
• 48:34
  on Saturday. It's in Las Vegas.
• 48:37
  The headline is a Patty Pimblit and Justin Gaethje. Justin Gaethje is a really
• 48:42
  popular fighter from Colorado.
• 48:45
  And Patty Pimblit is from Liverpool. My cousin and brother will be both there,
• 48:48
  too. I spoke to them. They're coming out. Yeah, he's an English guy.
• 48:52
  He speaks like a- Yes. Yes, but he's a scouser.
• 48:56
  And so he always says, I'm a scouser. We don't get knocked out. We knock people out.
• 49:02
  He's always talking like that. That got a little Chinese there.
• 49:05
  Was that a touch one? It's like Chinese. I don't know what the hell they talk.
• 49:07
  Because their neighbor. I don't know what they talk.
• 49:09
  Is it because their neighbor? I don't think their neighbor.
• 49:12
  I don't know. Last time I saw a map. Liverpool, China, not neighbors.
• 49:15
  Not even close to each other.
• 49:17
  I don't know. I don't know. Hey, somehow, man. You never know.
• 49:20
  Is Manny's going away party that, you know, he's still here.
• 49:23
  But like, if he's going away, is it back to school?
• 49:26
  Because I want to get the man a globe. Well, I don't get globe.
• 49:30
  But no, my job is secret. So we don't talk about it a lot.
• 49:34
  Yeah, he's a low-key secret agent. But yeah. So we do a big party for him at
• 49:40
  work because we work together.
• 49:41
  Okay. We do a big party for him at work. And I guess, you know,
• 49:43
  sometime when he's going away, his mission got canceled.
• 49:48
  Oh, okay. So then he's like, what should I do? I'm like, well,
• 49:52
  just come back to work. bro.
• 49:53
  Right. Because they want me to wait around for a month. Yeah.
• 49:56
  So his other job wasn't just sit and wait. Right. Still getting paid,
• 50:00
  but he's sitting and wait. He's like, he might as well get double paid. Right. Exactly.
• 50:03
  Yeah. So he came back to work. So everybody at work has jokes for him all day. I bet.
• 50:08
  They're all, they're all saying, they're all saying, Hey rookie.
• 50:11
  Because he's new now. I'm not new.
• 50:13
  Yeah. You're like the new guy. They think I'm the new guy. I'm still me.
• 50:17
  I'm still legend. It's hilarious.
• 50:20
  It's hilarious. What do you do? You know, I called the sheriff and he's the boss. It's me and him.
• 50:28
  Andy's a pretty nice guy. He is, yeah.
• 50:31
  He's saying what you got to say. It's new, but what we share,
• 50:35
  we keep it ourselves. Andy goes, we'll take you back. We'll take you back.
• 50:39
  That sounded like a pity moment. You're going to be the rookie.
• 50:43
  No, but everybody has jokes with him. All the young kids, we got a lot of young
• 50:47
  kids that work at our job.
• 50:48
  They're between 20 and 25. 25.
• 50:52
  Can you imagine being in jail and he's 20 to 25 year olds, a bossing your old
• 50:57
  ass around? I can't imagine being in jail.
• 50:59
  I wouldn't hang, guys. I'm a little more high maintenance than that.
• 51:02
  I don't think I could make it. Oh, yeah.
• 51:03
  Michelle's mean. I don't think I could make it. I'm glad I got that out of my system.
• 51:06
  Wait, you see this guy right here? You said I'm mean? How am I mean?
• 51:10
  That's so scary. I would never last. Anna, I had to spend the weekend in jail.
• 51:14
  Okay. How am I mean? What's this bitch's name? Hey, it's Anna.
• 51:18
  It's white chocolate. White chocolate to you. White chocolate.
• 51:21
  We drink white chocolate. Our coffee is always white. Yeah. No,
• 51:24
  no, no. I'm just kidding.
• 51:27
  So the running joke at work, I always put a lot of cream in my coffee. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 51:31
  And then I always say to my co-workers, I like my coffee how I like my white.
• 51:36
  Like, yes. White. And they be like, oh, okay.
• 51:40
  Yeah, whatever. Shell. Go. But he's mean at work. Like that.
• 51:44
  I told him, too, I like my coffee like I like my women. Cold and bitter.
• 51:48
  Cold and bitter. Cold and bitter.
• 51:51
  Cold and bitter. There you go. There you go. The sorts of views of trust Paul
• 51:54
  are not necessarily respectful. Paul, if your wife watches this show one time,
• 51:59
  from the beginning, if she watched this show one time, it's really over. It's completely over.
• 52:06
  And depending on the episode, it's really over. It's really over.
• 52:10
  It's really over. He's done. Paul's going to have an apartment real soon. Real soon.
• 52:14
  See, it's totally in a batch of the pad, yeah? This is why I'm glad I'm a bougie
• 52:17
  white girl. I like my creamer and I like my syrups. Yeah.
• 52:22
  I found a banana syrup and a blueberry one so I can make a blueberry muffin.
• 52:26
  Good for you. Or I can make a banana bread coffee. Yeah, Alan's like the cook
• 52:31
  in his house too. I'm a Starby's girl. I'm a $7 coffee girl.
• 52:34
  It's not a good life choice. You're a Starbucks girl? Yeah, we are.
• 52:37
  I do caribou. I'm a caribou guy. I like caribou too, but I have more status
• 52:41
  and points at Starbucks. That's fucking a reward.
• 52:45
  For Christmas It's like Delta You know For Christmas I
• 52:48
  got a bunch of Starburst cards So I got to use those And
• 52:51
  then I got a I got a seven brew card Oh and I
• 52:54
  don't You know what I hate to say this I don't like seven brew No I don't mind
• 52:57
  it It's not my It's bitter Every time I've tried it It's really bitter It's
• 53:00
  not my first choice You know what's actually pretty good It's cheap though You
• 53:03
  like hot coffee or cold coffee Both I do ice coffee Today I did a hot coffee
• 53:06
  And I did a sugar free vanilla latte Okay And I did some pumps of peppermint Okay How was that?
• 53:12
  Wintry It was good With almond milk Yeah, that's great.
• 53:16
  I would like to point out that I think I've never tried seven brew,
• 53:19
  but I'm going to have to now because if it's bitter and cheap That's your jam.
• 53:24
  That's how he likes his women Bitter and cheap Honestly, for what they are.
• 53:30
  Mega Latte is pretty good I haven't been there yet Mega Latte is good, I had that one soon
• 53:35
  It's a North Dakota chain They started in Williston I heard we're getting a
• 53:39
  second one I don't know where, but I heard It must be doing pretty well Yeah,
• 53:44
  I heard that on the down low. I can't reveal my story.
• 53:47
  Can we just get rid of it? The down low in black culture is really different.
• 53:51
  In Atlanta, did you know that? No. Okay, so, oh, wow.
• 53:55
  I'm teaching you something today. Yes, I'm going to learn. So in Atlanta,
• 53:58
  there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of blacks in Atlanta.
• 54:04
  And a lot of black men apparently are on the down low. Oh, oh,
• 54:08
  oh. Hooking up with other men. Other dudes, yeah.
• 54:10
  That's like a thing in Atlanta. That's it. That's because they're like Diddy.
• 54:14
  They want to be like Diddy.
• 54:15
  Do you like tap your foot under the, remember that was like a thing back in the 90s?
• 54:18
  Like men would like tap their foot underneath like the stall and that was like
• 54:22
  a sign to be like, hey, come over here to the other stall.
• 54:24
  That's the same as a Minnesota senator thing.
• 54:28
  Yeah. Like I remember hearing that story when I was in high school.
• 54:30
  So that's the same. That's the, that's kind of one of the hidden symbols too.
• 54:33
  Like if you look at like old Navy, the old parts of the Navy,
• 54:37
  like they would hide nautical stars themselves.
• 54:40
  Really? To show that they were gay. What do you mean A hide a nautical star
• 54:43
  Like they would put Nautical star tattoos On themselves Oh okay A nautical scarf Joyners,
• 54:49
  You said, where were you showing yours? Is that the tattoo Manny has?
• 54:53
  No. Oh, no. Just kidding.
• 54:56
  Is that the notical star? I do. It's Africa. It's close enough to his notical star.
• 55:02
  There you go. It's Manny's tattoo. All right. He's losing a tattoo game.
• 55:06
  He's waited until he's in his 30s to get a tattoo. He cried a lot.
• 55:09
  He cried a lot. He's crying.
• 55:10
  He just saw him. He's like, oh, my arm hurts. My arm hurts. Wow.
• 55:14
  I don't have any tattoos.
• 55:15
  I can't touch it. I can't touch it. I got it last minute. You know, I want something.
• 55:19
  This is why I'm glad. Who knows if I get shot?
• 55:22
  Yeah, yeah. The only thing they can know is tattoo. I got some hit, though.
• 55:25
  He wanted to be able to be identified in case he lost his life.
• 55:27
  But I do have some here. Yeah. He hit in here, too. We'll talk about that later.
• 55:30
  Off air. Yeah, we can't talk about it. This is why when I'm glad I get tattooed, I just fall asleep.
• 55:35
  Yeah? I'm so wrong. Yeah, I fall asleep, too, man. So you don't have any tattoos?
• 55:38
  I don't know. I have no tattoos, so I'm like, I can't relate.
• 55:40
  Have you ever wanted one? I made a couple.
• 55:44
  I don't know how much I should share. So you really don't have tattoos? No, I don't.
• 55:48
  I did for a short time sort of saw this guy who was very tattooed when I was in college in Denver.
• 55:56
  And he played for the NBA. It was like this very... What was his name?
• 56:00
  It wasn't Birdman. NBA? Come on. That says his name. No, no,
• 56:03
  no, no, no. It was a poor life choice.
• 56:05
  Carmelo? No, but it was that era. Oh, that was so much.
• 56:10
  I was around all these tattoos. And I was like, oh, my gosh,
• 56:12
  maybe I should get a tattoo. I would have got the dumbest thing ever.
• 56:15
  I was like 20 years old. I've been so stupid. I didn't do it.
• 56:19
  I'm never going to confirm her to that. If the name's already been said at this
• 56:22
  table, I'm not going to confirm her to that. We could talk off air,
• 56:25
  but you know. I'm not proud.
• 56:26
  I'm not proud. But you know, I know Carmella personally, so that's cool.
• 56:29
  All right. I know AI personally.
• 56:30
  Yeah. Is he still with Lala? Is it Lala? Nope. Lala's.
• 56:33
  She gone? She gone. That girl gone. The only other person.
• 56:37
  There's Lala era though when I was. Yeah. Lala's smoking hot.
• 56:39
  The only other person I can think of that's all Carlos Bergman.
• 56:43
  I smoke Lala. Jesus Christ. He said, we'll do the Lala. $50 million.
• 56:49
  For free. For free. For free. For free.
• 56:53
  He always brings up like these dollar amounts to hook up with a woman.
• 56:57
  That you would pay that much? Yeah. They will pay.
• 57:02
  He's different. What? Manny's willing to admit he'd probably pay like $500 to
• 57:06
  Gretchen. Yeah, to Gretchen. To Gretchen.
• 57:11
  Look, I can't help it. We all run on Alan. Bullet in my head.
• 57:15
  I'm not Paul. I'm not Shell. I'm not Alan.
• 57:20
  I'm me. I'm Drew. She doesn't know who I am. I'm the mystery.
• 57:24
  He's very afraid of people who... Oh, yeah. I heard that.
• 57:27
  Yeah. I got that vibe. I feel like I should have had a disclaimer.
• 57:31
  Like, hey, my views today don't represent the company I work for.
• 57:35
  I mean, you guys are scaring me a little bit. I'm sorry, Anna.
• 57:37
  You know what, Anna? Guess what? I'm really inclusive and open and respected kindness to all.
• 57:41
  Don't like you guys are you guys are not we see
• 57:44
  no no no we stay on the edge you're like you're flirting
• 57:47
  with the line though guys you know what the line is
• 57:50
  good the line is good because sometimes in the
• 57:53
  world like everybody's so like straight laced nobody
• 57:55
  wants to say something crazy or get canceled or
• 57:59
  whatever we just stay right on the line and be like
• 58:01
  you know what we're just having fun end of the day it's craft beer we're drinking
• 58:06
  beer we're talking stuff we're having fun it's like a easy flowing show it's
• 58:10
  not like something like you know we gotta force it or something like that so
• 58:13
  since we're back into the beer oh we're back into the beer see how we transition
• 58:17
  really well into the beer so smooth yeah go Alan what were we drinking Alan we're drinking,
• 58:22
  Brains is this an IV8 gross it's called Brains yep the series is Brains that's
• 58:27
  their biggest series to date from Dregger is that what you guys already have in your cup yeah.
• 58:32
  Brains. Why does yours look darker than mine? Because you probably had so much stuff in it before.
• 58:36
  Okay. So this is- This is actually really good, actually. This is mango, mango, and mango.
• 58:40
  Ooh. And a lot of peach, peach, peach with apricots and sea salt to balance out the tartness.
• 58:45
  That's really good, actually. I'm trying to make sure I'm not ahead of you guys. No. Am I behind?
• 58:49
  No, no, no, no, no. I feel like I'm trying to pace with you.
• 58:50
  No, no, no, no, you're on pace.
• 58:52
  You're on pace for sure. It's good. It's good. You like it? Yeah.
• 58:56
  It's tasty, right? Yeah, it's better than the peach ring one.
• 58:59
  Because this is peach mangoes. I like the mangoes in it. Mangoes are always
• 59:02
  good, though. Yeah. And a beer. And a beer. Yeah, totally. Always.
• 59:06
  So with the events at the Alaris Center coming up, I'm personally on the opposite.
• 59:11
  I know country pays the bills. Yes. And you already get enough flack of it,
• 59:16
  too, that you hear rock shows and other kind of entertainment.
• 59:19
  Yeah. Yeah. But it's what, I know they're not as big.
• 59:22
  No, no, no. But here's the deal. I think. It's hard to get some of them.
• 59:26
  All of it's hard to get right now. And touring is a motherfucker.
• 59:29
  I don't know if I'm allowed to say that, but like, it seems to work in 25 and
• 59:32
  26 is really hard right now. I know there's a bunch of artists that are going back out on tour.
• 59:36
  Like, Shinedown's going to be in Fargo in March. Yep.
• 59:39
  Did they announce that? Yep. Normally, I like sulk for a couple days,
• 59:42
  but I knew about that one in advance. Yeah. Because I tried to get that here.
• 59:45
  So, here's the thing. We've had really good luck with a lot of rocks.
• 59:48
  Like, I booked Metallica.
• 59:50
  That was good. That took me 18 months. It was a dog fight.
• 59:53
  Oh, yeah. That was rough. I hired and fired like seven engineering firms because
• 59:56
  we couldn't rig the show.
• 59:57
  But we have the highest rigging capacity so like steel in
• 1:00:00
  our ceiling metal is pretty demanding too they're wonderful it
• 1:00:03
  was so great but it was i hired in fact i was like i'm not going to take no
• 1:00:06
  for an answer from the engineers find a way or it
• 1:00:09
  would have gone to fargo so i mean we're always in the dogfight yeah
• 1:00:12
  we try to be aggressive we try to be creative we're just not going to win every
• 1:00:15
  one but i think we've had good luck with some rock and country does do really
• 1:00:19
  well but we've had good luck with rock too so it just depends on what it is
• 1:00:22
  like the rock deal tour i was at that one yeah that one we lost a lot of money
• 1:00:25
  on but it was a great show i was up front And my friend and I,
• 1:00:28
  we always get up front. We're at the barricade, always on the left.
• 1:00:30
  And we had a blast up there. House left? So if you're looking at the stage?
• 1:00:33
  I'll look for him at the next show. Yeah. I was, I was. Up to no good.
• 1:00:37
  Like the other time, like, so I, her and I, we always go to these shows.
• 1:00:41
  My wife just doesn't know the shows anymore, but we're always up front.
• 1:00:44
  Like, so when Slipdown was in Fargo, we were in front of Jim Root, same place all the time.
• 1:00:48
  But I figured there was an obvious answer to that one. I just know, like. Yeah.
• 1:00:53
  And hip hop shows aren't a thing, really. No. And you know what?
• 1:00:56
  Like, we've done, when we did Bryce Vine, we did the student show.
• 1:00:59
  The students underwrote a good chunk of money for that one, and we still lost.
• 1:01:02
  Yeah, wow. When we did Fetty Wap, we still lost.
• 1:01:05
  That was right before he went to jail. And so I actually got an email from a
• 1:01:08
  city council person who was like, I'm really disappointed that you,
• 1:01:11
  and I will never say who, but I'm really disappointed because I actually like this guy a lot.
• 1:01:14
  But I'm really disappointed you would bring Fetty Wap because he's got all these
• 1:01:17
  charges against him for drugs and blah, blah, blah.
• 1:01:19
  And I said, hey, man, like the students underwrote the most of the money, the most of the risk.
• 1:01:24
  Number two, there's a lot of artists that make a lot of off-color choices that we don't agree with.
• 1:01:28
  I don't book shows based on that. I book on what's going to sell,
• 1:01:31
  what we think the market can bear. We do a whole risk analysis. Yeah.
• 1:01:35
  And we're always going to, we want, we want diverse artists.
• 1:01:37
  Fetty Wap just got out too. Yeah. So come on back, Fetty. Come on back. Yeah, he's all right.
• 1:01:41
  And so it was, it was crazy. But then I sent this email back to him like,
• 1:01:44
  we don't always agree with the choices of artists, blah, blah,
• 1:01:46
  blah, blah, blah. Like defending our choice.
• 1:01:48
  The next week is when he went to that federal prison.
• 1:01:51
  And I was like, oh, my man. Here's my question. Ate a little crow that day. How was he?
• 1:01:55
  Was he a very nice gentleman? He was really nice. And actually I had an intern
• 1:01:58
  that worked on, that worked on that show.
• 1:02:01
  And he, he asked her, he's like, hey, I can smoke in here, right?
• 1:02:04
  And the answer is obviously we're a non-smoking facility, but whatever happens backstage.
• 1:02:08
  You don't talk about it. It happens. We just, I don't, we don't see it,
• 1:02:11
  right? Right, right, right. Like it's, we want to respect, we want them to the
• 1:02:13
  best environment, they're on the road all the time.
• 1:02:15
  And she said, Mr. WAP, we would prefer. WAP, Mr.
• 1:02:19
  WAP. I love it. So now that's the joke at the office is Mr.
• 1:02:22
  WAP, we would prefer if you didn't smoke in here, but like whatever happens
• 1:02:25
  in your dressing room stays in your dressing room. That's cool, man. Huh?
• 1:02:28
  No, because I think sometimes rap gets a, you know, that stain on it all the
• 1:02:31
  time. No, they're always the nicest.
• 1:02:33
  That's what I said. They're late all the time. Every show, they're late.
• 1:02:37
  So when I worked for Live Nation, Ludacris was an hour and a half late.
• 1:02:41
  Oh, yeah. And he was flying in. He flew in.
• 1:02:43
  We had to get a police escort from the airport. Of course. In Winnipeg.
• 1:02:48
  Yep. And usher him to the stage.
• 1:02:50
  I was the guy doing the introductions. Yep. Stage welcome or whatever. Yep. Blah, blah, blah.
• 1:02:56
  Ludacris. Great show. Yeah. He's an incredible artist. He's an incredible performer.
• 1:03:02
  Great. He has so much songs. Luda. Yeah, Luda That's how you gotta say it Yeah,
• 1:03:06
  so I love all his songs, but he was late We did 50 Cent,
• 1:03:10
  we did David Banner Man, we did so many people They're always late,
• 1:03:14
  Snoop was late, and then My Idiot Self This is in Casper, Wyoming,
• 1:03:17
  and I had a Snoop Dogg show It was so great, and I didn't understand what the
• 1:03:21
  Puff Puff Pass tour meant I didn't know, because I don't,
• 1:03:24
  Duh I didn't get it I didn't get it I was on those tours with Snoop Shoot, shoot,
• 1:03:32
  So, I know that there's, they're kind of far and in between,
• 1:03:35
  but you say all these rappers are late. Are the white ones?
• 1:03:40
  The white rappers or the white artists?
• 1:03:46
  Hold on, hold on a second. I thought you'd use express my phone.
• 1:03:52
  Your discretion is advised.
• 1:03:56
  No, it's a good question. If you're asking about wines, I've not done a white
• 1:04:00
  rapper show. I did Machine Gun Kelly back, if he counts as that, back in the day at a club.
• 1:04:05
  Okay. So no, and I don't think he's on time. He's white. What about the country,
• 1:04:09
  guys? Machine Gun Kelly is dope.
• 1:04:10
  Rock. I feel like everybody's unique, but I think we've had really good luck
• 1:04:14
  with really kind, gracious, humble artists.
• 1:04:17
  You always get a couple that aren't, you know, the best.
• 1:04:20
  Kenny Chesney was an awesome guy. Wonderful. I loved him. Wonderful.
• 1:04:23
  Wonderful. Wonderful. God Brooks was so nice. Oh, yeah, yeah. They ran a little late.
• 1:04:27
  He paid all the staff extra money. I believe that. He was amazing.
• 1:04:31
  I haven't done a Garccio. That's my white whale. That's my white whale.
• 1:04:34
  But I've heard that. Yeah, he had his wife with him, his kids, his dogs.
• 1:04:38
  Yep, yep. He was so nice. He paid everybody like an extra 500 bucks.
• 1:04:42
  Right. It was so amazing. He had cash on hand. Right.
• 1:04:45
  Made sure everybody got money. Taking care of. The entire building. Yeah. He was awesome.
• 1:04:49
  All these artists have like their own different like quirk.
• 1:04:54
  I guess I would call it where they always ask for like something like outrageous
• 1:04:58
  that just makes that makes absolutely no sense.
• 1:05:01
  On their rider. And then and then, you know, so like showing up late might be
• 1:05:04
  like like their thing to make them feel like they're more important.
• 1:05:07
  I don't know. I don't know if that's the case.
• 1:05:09
  I've had a few artists that are late and a couple country always, always rap.
• 1:05:14
  But I would say like a country sometimes it's just schedules and logistics and it sucks.
• 1:05:17
  I don't think anybody's ever intentionally done it. But I guess I don't know
• 1:05:21
  that. But my Snoop Dogg show, everybody was so secondhand high in Casper.
• 1:05:25
  And the next morning at 8 a.m., I thought, this is like 22-year-old Anna,
• 1:05:29
  who's a director of marketing.
• 1:05:30
  I'm like, let's book all our staff headshots at 8 a.m. Those are mode shots.
• 1:05:34
  Oh, everybody was out of there at like 3 a.m. We're all contact high.
• 1:05:38
  We all have red eyes. We all look like absolute shit.
• 1:05:41
  Worst headshot I've ever taken. That's amazing. That thing is gone.
• 1:05:45
  That was awesome. But then like T-Pain was really late. And I had these women
• 1:05:47
  that were like waiting for him at the meet and greet. And I ran the meet and
• 1:05:50
  greets and I couldn't get him off the bus.
• 1:05:52
  And the promoter's like this big black guy. And he's like, you know,
• 1:05:54
  he'll respond better to you than he will to me.
• 1:05:58
  Let's go get him off the bus together. Right. Like, that's, I'm not,
• 1:06:00
  that's like a big no-no. It's not my job. It's not my job. It's a big no-no.
• 1:06:03
  He's like, just come with me,
• 1:06:04
  please. I'm like, well, the promoter's asking me to go. I guess I'll go.
• 1:06:07
  So we're like, go knock on the door. We're like, oh, Mr. Payne,
• 1:06:09
  Mr. Payne. He's like in there drinking 99 bananas.
• 1:06:12
  He's like, come on in, have a drink. No, no, no, sir. like these women are about
• 1:06:15
  to shank me. Yeah. Like they need you in here, man.
• 1:06:18
  So that was crazy. But I think they're always late. They're just on their own
• 1:06:21
  timeline. They're always late. Why?
• 1:06:23
  They just, they just. It's their style. I don't know why. And then to get vibe.
• 1:06:27
  Is this, is this vibe? Yeah, it's in there. The one. I mean,
• 1:06:30
  I work with a couple artists around. Is this your show? Yeah. Yes, mine is. Yeah.
• 1:06:34
  That's just their style, man. Yeah. The one I love, like I was high as shit
• 1:06:37
  the whole concert. I was out and up and smoked tour with Eminem and Dre.
• 1:06:40
  Yeah, I went to that. Oh, I was so fucked up. I had that show.
• 1:06:43
  I went to that show. When? In Toronto, in Vancouver.
• 1:06:45
  When Boss of Rhymes, Chiggy, Fabulous, and 57 were here, I was fucking high on the drum.
• 1:06:50
  I love Fabulous, but man, I was...
• 1:06:54
  Buster Rhymes or Fabulous were slinging Hennessy all over the first rows when we were up there.
• 1:06:58
  I was smelling like fucking Hennessy. You know what Fabulous's real name is? Please tell me not Josh.
• 1:07:04
  John. Oh, fuck. That's even worse.
• 1:07:07
  That's a white-ass name. That's biblical.
• 1:07:12
  John Smith. John Smith? Either John Smith or John Jackson, one or the other. Oh, no.
• 1:07:18
  At least Jackson's a little more like... So, if the other host of our normal
• 1:07:22
  show here, John Roberts, he's seen, like, multiple people at the Alara Center
• 1:07:26
  and stuff because he was in radio for, you know, 30 years.
• 1:07:28
  Right. He said, by far none, the worst musician that he has ever met in his
• 1:07:33
  life is the lead singer for Nickelback.
• 1:07:35
  Chad Kroger? Really? He was nice. He said he was, like, the biggest dickhead
• 1:07:39
  he's ever met. I like Chad Kroger. I met Chad Kroger. He was awesome.
• 1:07:42
  I haven't met him, so I don't know. I can't say it. I can't say that one.
• 1:07:44
  Like, as soon as he shook somebody's hand, he would have somebody bring him
• 1:07:49
  hand sanitizer instantly.
• 1:07:50
  He wasn't like that with us. You know what? When I met Jack Kruger, I met Jack Kruger.
• 1:07:54
  I've asked him a lot of artists. He was totally a nice guy. I've been a personal
• 1:07:56
  security. Yeah. He was a nice guy.
• 1:07:59
  And he was actually a rock star. Like, he was just really cool.
• 1:08:02
  Like the song, I Want to Be a Rock Star. Yes, I Want to Be a Rock Star.
• 1:08:05
  Actually, you know what? You go back. Come to the Alair Center 2097.
• 1:08:08
  I remember he was getting panty stoned at him on the stage. It was amazing.
• 1:08:11
  It was pretty cool. Like, it was fun. Huh?
• 1:08:14
  This beer is awful. It's a strawberry sauce from the polarity.
• 1:08:16
  I'm just going to close my, what do you think, Anna? Just down the hatch.
• 1:08:20
  I think down the hatch. Down the hatch.
• 1:08:22
  God damn. I could definitely taste a strawberry in there, but nope.
• 1:08:25
  It's strawberry, but that's a note for me.
• 1:08:27
  I'm going to tell you why. When I have a stomach ache, I'm going to be like
• 1:08:29
  drinking Pepto tonight at my house. Like an old lady in my fuzzy socks since it's so cold out.
• 1:08:35
  It's freezing out. So cold. What is it, minus like 17? Yeah,
• 1:08:39

• 1:12:03
  oh my. Oh my. Sound like you fucking just having a bad day. Oh my.
• 1:12:08
  Oh, my. It's cold weather. It's not making me feel good. So did you know our
• 1:12:10
  show was going to be kind of like just off the walls like this?
• 1:12:13
  I thought it would be like mostly off the wall.
• 1:12:15
  I didn't know I was going to try so many beers, though. You know what? It's kind of normal.
• 1:12:19
  Yeah, I love it. Yeah, we kind of flow with the show, and we just kind of try
• 1:12:23
  beers, and we talk a lot about everything, right?
• 1:12:25
  Yeah. I'm going to bring my own vodka soda on the side next time.
• 1:12:28
  You know, we can do vodka soda. No, no, no. This is really chocolatey.
• 1:12:32
  It's good, right? Isn't it good? It's good. I think so. It's barrel age.
• 1:12:35
  Remember, it's barrel age. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:12:38
  Or whatever. Is that what barrel H makes? Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:12:42
  So normally what happens with barrel aged beer is usually some.
• 1:12:45
  Depends on what the brewery wants to do. Depends, yeah. Some will let it sit
• 1:12:49
  for like nine months to a year and they'll switch out barrels.
• 1:12:52
  Right, so you get that like casket, like casket, they'll dump it right into
• 1:12:56
  the beer, into the barrels.
• 1:12:58
  So you, you can smell it. It's really good though. They're using pre-existed
• 1:13:02
  bourbon barrels from different distilleries. Okay.
• 1:13:05
  It already had bourbon in it at one time. Yes, right. So just all that,
• 1:13:09
  all that aroma in it, all the goodness in it. Yeah.
• 1:13:13
  So, but I think it's, I'm going to make a, I have like some,
• 1:13:16
  some barrel aged stuff that I've been sitting in my fridge for like,
• 1:13:19
  probably like, or sitting on my, on my table for like two or three years.
• 1:13:23
  I got beer, barrel aged. Barrel aged beer. I got. And it tastes better now than it would when they just.
• 1:13:29
  I got. See, I don't like like the barrel aged wine. That's not my jam at all.
• 1:13:32
  Some are, some are better than others, but it's, they're still a little rough.
• 1:13:36
  Right. Yeah. I'm like, I don't want the, I don't want the roughness.
• 1:13:38
  Like I want wine to be smooth.
• 1:13:40
  Yeah. There's a, there's a wine that I really, it's an, it's,
• 1:13:43
  it was from the penny sale at Happy's right now. It's called teeter totter.
• 1:13:47
  The penny sale's not on right now. Oh, okay. I was like, I'm coming over right
• 1:13:51
  after this. Let's go. This is still left over from the penny sale. It's a normally.
• 1:13:55
  Teeter totter? It's normally a $60 bottle of Cabernet. Oh. What's on sale for? $30.
• 1:14:00
  But it's a high- See you tonight, Capy Aries. It's a high-rated cab, too.
• 1:14:04
  Like, it is rich as fuck. Why has Aaron not told me about that?
• 1:14:08
  I'm going to text him and be like, what the hell, man? Holding out on me? Well, now I'll tell you.
• 1:14:12
  Teeter-totter, shit. Aaron's always holding out. Hey, what is that little Dakota
• 1:14:16
  thing you guys have at the Laris with all the little vendors?
• 1:14:19
  The Prada Dakota? Prada Dakota. I got some Barrel-Age cider.
• 1:14:23
  Okay. That's amazing. From Prada Dakota. Yes. Yes, all right.
• 1:14:27
  Yeah, it was some very good Barrel-Age cider. I was like, wow, this is delicious.
• 1:14:30
  A great event yeah it is an awesome event i like it usually happens
• 1:14:34
  right before christmas yes yep i usually buy quite
• 1:14:37
  a few christmas presents from there because it's easier to buy some stuff there
• 1:14:40
  but yeah that's awesome good for you i'm supporting local and not just i am
• 1:14:44
  a big amazon gal but i try to support local too no how are the how are the movie
• 1:14:48
  events there like the drive-in movie yeah okay so we i know those are newer
• 1:14:52
  well one is usually a student one specifically and that's
• 1:14:56
  And we rescheduled last weekend for weather.
• 1:14:58
  Yeah. So that's just, you know, the students and that's fine.
• 1:15:01
  The one that we do every year is a free event.
• 1:15:04
  And we probably get like 400 or 500 people. But the point of that,
• 1:15:07
  and I started that in sort of the season of giving in Casper, Wyoming, years ago.
• 1:15:12
  And now we tried to do a full season at the Allaire Center the first few years.
• 1:15:15
  It was just too much for like free events and not enough attendance.
• 1:15:19
  So we focused on one. And that's the drive-in movie. And so that's totally free. So people come.
• 1:15:23
  They get to pull their car into the arena. They watch a movie.
• 1:15:26
  It's a holiday movie. We do a poll online.
• 1:15:29
  Everybody gets free Coke products, popcorn, whatever.
• 1:15:32
  So if you don't have the means to experience the Laird Center or take your kids
• 1:15:36
  to have monster trucks or PBR or any of these things, it's kind of cool to be
• 1:15:40
  like, hey, you get to come enjoy the building for free on one night.
• 1:15:42
  So yeah, I mean, it's really well attended and I think we'll keep doing it.
• 1:15:44
  We lose money on it, obviously. We've got some great sponsors,
• 1:15:47
  Coke and some other stuff. But it's good that it's just for the families.
• 1:15:49
  Right, right. It's like you can walk in if we sell a lot of parking spaces in
• 1:15:53
  there, like just let I'm in and somehow I love my stuff, but I swear they bully me all the time.
• 1:15:58
  If you've seen the pork and brew videos, you know they bully the shit out of me.
• 1:16:01
  And somehow I allow it and it's fine. But I always end up being like the door
• 1:16:05
  bitch. And it's like that overhead door.
• 1:16:08
  I'm like waiting for the door to come up. And you're like, come on in. And you're freezing.
• 1:16:12
  And I'm like, can I earn some seniority here, guys? Like I'm tired of being
• 1:16:16
  on the door for that event.
• 1:16:18
  I'm like, can I sling popcorn? I'd rather sling popcorn.
• 1:16:21
  It's a great event. That's too easy for them. Oh, it is.
• 1:16:25
  And they're, I mean, and they love it. Like when they made me eat that pound
• 1:16:28
  of bacon for pork and brew.
• 1:16:29
  I saw it. I was like, you got to be hurting. you had to be
• 1:16:31
  hurting for a few days a few days and then i didn't eat i did
• 1:16:35
  not eat bacon for like six months it was tough it was tough so the one thing
• 1:16:39
  i liked about that whole event with you having the indoor movie theater so when
• 1:16:43
  my wife and i went to north carolina we went with a couple and we went on the
• 1:16:48
  the big nascar track the big the biggest nascar track there,
• 1:16:53
  yeah yeah and we were right across from the nash the nascar history museum yeah
• 1:16:59
  hotel But when we got to drive the track for the holiday,
• 1:17:03
  they were playing National Alphoon Christmas Vacation and you could drive the
• 1:17:06
  track while listening to a whole movie.
• 1:17:08
  And it was driving on one of those tracks is crazier than you think.
• 1:17:11
  Cause you'll always, you're always leaning no matter how hard you steer it. I've done it.
• 1:17:15
  I've done the Charlotte Speedway. I, I dated a girl in Charlotte and as a driver.
• 1:17:21
  Well, she drove, but not like that. I don't know what that means. I don't want to know.
• 1:17:27
  It's a good joke there. But anyway, no, she did. I can't make a joke.
• 1:17:31
  I really wanted to, but I should.
• 1:17:34
  No, but she's a sweet girl. Her name is Kimberly. She had that country twang
• 1:17:38
  in there. Like, how you doing?
• 1:17:40
  You know, she did all that. As a gift. Yeah, as a gift for my birthday,
• 1:17:44
  she got me a little thing where I drove.
• 1:17:46
  The most redneck gift of all time. Yes, I got it in the car.
• 1:17:49
  And let's just say, if I could have shit my pants, I probably shodded for sure.
• 1:17:53
  Yeah. But it was the scariest shit ever. Like, I got to get in the car with
• 1:17:57
  a driver and sit there. Oh, and they drove.
• 1:17:58
  The driver drove. Yeah, they drove. I had to get in, and my tall ass in this
• 1:18:02
  little ass fucking car. Like a clown car.
• 1:18:04
  Yeah, it's very compact because you got to be able to fit in there good.
• 1:18:08
  Yeah. And you got to put on a suit and everything. Nice and snug. So you got to be snug.
• 1:18:12
  And he must have been doing like 170 at some point, 180. And you're like.
• 1:18:18
  Shannon's redneck I feel like we should start singing Gretchen Wilson not the
• 1:18:21
  other Gretchen that you guys know but like Gretchen Wilson like a little redneck
• 1:18:24
  woman here cause he's a redneck black man and a white ass girl and a white ass name yeah oh y'all,
• 1:18:33
  I mean his mama thought he was gonna be a girl,
• 1:18:36
  on my front porch all year long oh we've got
• 1:18:38
  a new theme song I always tell I always tell people when
• 1:18:41
  if you don't remember my name I always go remember I'm
• 1:18:44
  the black guy with the white girl's name the second time I met
• 1:18:47
  you and it's funny because I was like I had to ask
• 1:18:50
  somebody because I'm an asshole and I'm at that I'm not actually an
• 1:18:53
  asshole but I am bad at names sometimes that's okay and I will
• 1:18:55
  not forget your name now obviously but yeah but like
• 1:18:58
  the first second year maybe like at pork and brew and I knew you guys were doing
• 1:19:02
  this and I was like oh I love this like this brew brothers whatever that is
• 1:19:05
  love it I like the way you say brothers I was trying to say it's so like white
• 1:19:08
  chocolate so cool so cool but I was like oh I love that that's awesome they're
• 1:19:12

• 1:20:49
  I go through that too all the time with the pork and brew. What are you going to wear?

  Yep. I got an outfit though. I'm ready. You do? You already know what you're
• 1:20:55

• 1:21:03
  Damn high. Oh, I got THC beers. Oh, fuck. I've never tried THC in my life. You want to? Kinda.
• 1:21:08
  Not on pork and brew because I will be working for a different day.
• 1:21:12
  You'll love it because I got some from my... So I know a lot of breweries and
• 1:21:16
  I know a lot of different brewery reps and everything, but I get a lot of THC beers from them.
• 1:21:21
  I think Aaron has some at his house. He asked me if I wanted one.
• 1:21:24
  And I was like, oh, my kids, I don't think.
• 1:21:26
  So I'm going to experiment for the first time. Like I should have done when
• 1:21:28
  I was 17. Yeah. I shouldn't do it with my kids in the house.
• 1:21:32
  So Fulton Brewery makes NARCs. And they're 5 milligram and 10 milligram THCs.
• 1:21:36
  What are NARCs? NARCs, like if you're a NARC for a drug NARC.
• 1:21:40
  Yeah, drug NARC. So that's the brand is called NARC from them.
• 1:21:44
  But they just got into St. Louis.
• 1:21:48
  In terms of quality, they've ranked one of the best in the nation.
• 1:21:50
  And they're from fucking Minneapolis. Do they sell them locally?
• 1:21:53
  No. No distributor. Yeah, we can't. We can't yet. North Dakota,
• 1:21:56
  we're like way behind the time. We can get them.
• 1:21:58
  We're so way behind. We're in North Dakota. We're prehistoric.
• 1:22:00
  We can get them in Moorhead. We can't even feed our kids at lunch.
• 1:22:02
  We can get them in Moorhead. Went down today. I'm so mad. I saw that.
• 1:22:05
  We can get them in Moorhead at Bridgeview Liquors. Oh.
• 1:22:08
  But so my buddy from Elm Creek, they make ones called Seek and they're really
• 1:22:12
  good THC's as well. Yeah.
• 1:22:13
  I want to try. I would maybe I'll try one. Or a gummy. I don't know.
• 1:22:17
  I'm like in the market. You say gummy.
• 1:22:18
  I'm in the market. I don't want to smoke anything. They make both.
• 1:22:21
  So they're going to bring me some. So we'll try them.
• 1:22:25
  Is he just snapping right now? Yeah, I'm snapping right now.
• 1:22:29
  So either on an episode later or...
• 1:22:32
  Whenever you want to, I'll give you some TOT drinks. All right.
• 1:22:35
  It'll be a fun experiment. Yeah. We will not tag the Alara Center. No, we can't.
• 1:22:40
  Okay, what are we drinking? This is your line, man. No, it's not mine.
• 1:22:42
  What are we drinking, Alan?
• 1:22:44
  Paul, is this a fresh squeeze? Nope. Oh, it tastes just like a fresh squeeze. So this is from Drecker.
• 1:22:49
  This is one of their new releases. It's called Interplanetary Relations.
• 1:22:53
  Who makes a fresh squeeze? Deschutes. Oh, okay.
• 1:22:57
  Douches. Douches makes fresh. Douches. Douches. Peggy Smoves.
• 1:23:01
  Oh, my God. Piggy Smalls is dying. Piggy Smalls is...
• 1:23:05
  Now it's actually pork. Now it's pork and brew, literally.
• 1:23:08
  Pork and brew, baby. Pork and brew for real. Look at that. What a brew,
• 1:23:13
  baby. This tastes just like a fresh breeze.
• 1:23:15
  What a brew, boo, literally. That's a fail right there, guys.
• 1:23:20
  No, that's a win. I like that.
• 1:23:23
  I'm pretty sure that's the ultimate fail on this podcast. I'll never be invited back.
• 1:23:27
  That's actually impressive. I like that. She had a hand. Just a nonchalant flip
• 1:23:32
  of the wrist. He hand-sewed these. I can't get this pig out.
• 1:23:35
  He hand- That's what she said. That's what she said.
• 1:23:40
  That's Paul and Gretchen. That's Paul and Gretchen. What am I doing?
• 1:23:45
  You said you would just drink the beer. All right. We're just going to drink
• 1:23:48
  it when Piggy smells like that. Look at that. So I know not everyone's a fan
• 1:23:50
  of hops, but this is a smoother, creamier.
• 1:23:53
  It's very hoppy to me. It is, but it's more like creamy-ish,
• 1:23:57
  like oranginess to it. But it's a, for anyone that's not used to something,
• 1:24:01
  it's basically a beer mosa.
• 1:24:02
  I get it. If you like beer. If you like mimosas. I could get that vibe.
• 1:24:06
  Honestly, and I, you know, whenever I drink an IPA, I just get through it.
• 1:24:09
  Yeah. But you know what? This has a little bit more of like a swine flavor in it.
• 1:24:13
  I don't, I'm not really sure why, but I think it's like a little bit like bacon.
• 1:24:18
  Piggy Smalls made the ultimate sacrifice right now. He decided to swindle his
• 1:24:22
  luck in the beer. There is bacon that has, there is beer that has bacon in it.
• 1:24:25
  He's a survivor. Oh, look at his glasses got all messed up. It's all right, you know what?
• 1:24:28
  Hey, listen, you know what? Woo, Shannon, you worked so hard on these and I
• 1:24:31
  fucked it all up. No, it's all right. I'm really sorry.
• 1:24:35
  I think I still got like 10 more to do. I haven't finished yet.
• 1:24:38
  That IPA was heavy, man. Yeah, I don't like it. That was gross.
• 1:24:41
  That's a chain, huh? Say again?
• 1:24:43
  There you go, Anna. No, mine never had a chain. Oh. There's a chain, Anna. There you go.
• 1:24:47
  This is going to be attractive. She's part of the chain gang.
• 1:24:50
  Part of the chain gang. Oh, I don't want to be part of that.
• 1:24:52
  That sounds like jail and that sounds scary.
• 1:24:54
  I'm not strong enough for that. Hold on. Put your chain in, Anna.
• 1:24:57
  There you go. One, two. There you go.
• 1:25:01
  You'll see it. Oh. Woo. There you go. I'm trying to say something.
• 1:25:06
  I'm a brother, white chocolate.
• 1:25:12
  So Anna, when's the porky brew? What day? January 31st.
• 1:25:16
  And what are the times? Next Saturday. 3 p.m. for VIP.
• 1:25:19
  5 o'clock for doors. VIP's going to sell out though. So VIP's from 3 to 5? No, it starts at 3.
• 1:25:25
  Uh-huh. And then it goes till 5. Right. But they're there the rest of the time,
• 1:25:28
  obviously. Right, right, right. And then general admission doors are at 5. 5 and 5 till?
• 1:25:33
  8. 8. Yeah, I know that. I just want you to say it. I just wanted to say it.
• 1:25:36
  Yeah, I just wanted to say it.
• 1:25:38
  Yeah, so buy your tickets for VIP because that shit sells out every year.
• 1:25:41
  Oh, it goes quick. Yeah, it goes quick.
• 1:25:43
  It's such a good event, and we would not do it without Happy Harry's.
• 1:25:46
  Honest to God, like our staff does not have the connections of all the breweries,
• 1:25:49
  all the work that Happy Harry's puts in to make this event happen.
• 1:25:52
  I'm not kidding. Like if they ever decided, no, we're not interested, it would be done.
• 1:25:56
  So thank you to Happy Harry's. I love every one of the Happy Harry's is me being working there, but.
• 1:26:02
  Dustin's up there. Yes. He's not involved with it as much, but Greg.
• 1:26:05
  Greg. Greg Rickson. Greg and Aaron. Mainly Greg. And Aaron.
• 1:26:08
  Yeah. And Aaron's one of my, his wife is one of my best friends.
• 1:26:11
  Monica's awesome. Really?
• 1:26:12
  One of my best friends. I like his wife. Yeah, I've known them since I was,
• 1:26:14
  since we moved here. And my youngest was, or my oldest was two.
• 1:26:17
  Yeah. And then our little babies are best friends. And we were pregnant at the same time.
• 1:26:20
  We're like very, very close. We're neighbors now, actually. Nice.
• 1:26:23
  Yeah, Aaron and Greg, and they're all amazing. I love Greg. I love Greg. I love his wife.
• 1:26:29
  Holly's fucking batshit nuts. I heard that in the best way.
• 1:26:32
  But she's a sweetheart, but when she is off the leash, she's a fucking ball of fun. She's fun.
• 1:26:38
  I've only seen her off the leash maybe at events at the theater center.
• 1:26:42
  I love it. So we're all like drinking wine and we're at the Altru Gala or whatever.
• 1:26:46
  Fun, fun. She's awesome. Whenever I see Greg and Holly out and about,
• 1:26:50
  like if there's live music out and about and I see them, Holly's having a blast.
• 1:26:54
  Greg's just like, I'm going to be the responsible of one.
• 1:26:58
  He's always like, business. He's on my commission too now. Oh,
• 1:27:02
  he is? I bet. I don't know for sure, but I would guess. So he's like our vice chair.
• 1:27:06
  I would bet he'll be like my commission chair in a month, like when we do that. Yeah.
• 1:27:11
  So Greg's great. Yeah, he gets it. He knows what we do. He understands the business.
• 1:27:14
  Greg cares more than anyone.
• 1:27:17
  Like he really fucking cares about everything that he does and everything he
• 1:27:21
  puts into it. Yes. And he's a detailed guy like Hal. Yeah.
• 1:27:24
  Hal Gershman. They've been very supportive of our podcast and everything.
• 1:27:27
  Yep. And anytime we ask for something, they always support him.
• 1:27:30
  Actually, I think we may be, I'm not sure, we may be there live at some point. You should.
• 1:27:36
  At Happy Harry's, yeah. So I did a wine tasting with him like a couple weeks
• 1:27:39
  ago, maybe a month ago for the Allaire Center. Our house wine is going to change this year in 2026.
• 1:27:44
  Not that anybody cares about that, but it's delicious. What kind of house wine? Souvrein.
• 1:27:48
  Oh, I know that one. Okay. Yeah. I think we're doing most Souvrein,
• 1:27:50
  but we did like sampled it, but we were like mostly spitting.
• 1:27:54
  And I was like, Greg, we could have made this way more fun in your office.
• 1:27:56
  Yeah. I feel like it could have been like this podcast.
• 1:27:58
  Yeah. But it was still a good time. Okay. And he's wonderful. And it was good.
• 1:28:02
  I like it. Yeah. I like it. So, yeah.
• 1:28:05
  I've had my fun with working there. I get to dip in. I take a crack at all the
• 1:28:09
  bourbons and stuff that come in.
• 1:28:11
  I always ask Aaron on the down low, like, hey, man, if you've got a bottle of
• 1:28:14
  Blantons, can you pull it to the side for me? because my boss is a Big Blands guy.
• 1:28:17
  So he Venmo's me. I'm his little drug lord. So I bring it to him when we travel together.
• 1:28:22
  So this guy just says something about bourbon. Are you... Bourbon?
• 1:28:25
  Yeah. He loves bourbon. Are you going to come into Happy Harry's today?
• 1:28:29
  Probably not today. Today. I work there today and tomorrow. Okay.
• 1:28:33
  You're going back to work? Yeah. After this? Yeah.
• 1:28:36
  Oh, that's what they do. That's crazy. He's out of control.
• 1:28:41
  Are we just opening these? These are for us to just drink. These are our night cats.
• 1:28:45
  Oh, these are our night cats. This is the one I love. This is a good pill. This is a good pill.
• 1:28:49
  It's an easy brew. It's an easy beer, right? Oh, oh, oh, oh.
• 1:28:53
  Anna is a party foul. What's going on with you, Anna? Hold on,
• 1:28:56
  hold on. Let me get a picture. Let me get a picture. All right.
• 1:28:58
  I'm never invited back. Yeah, you are. Hey, so there's a big sign right here
• 1:29:03
  from John Roberts. He always writes, Don't make a mess. Blue Bros.
• 1:29:07
  Coasters. I mean it. Oh, shit. And I just fucked it up. He says, I mean it.
• 1:29:11
  And snap him and be like, this bitch is not welcome back. I don't know Snap
• 1:29:15
  John. You know what I do? I post it, and then I tag him in it.
• 1:29:18
  Oh, everybody loves that.
• 1:29:20
  Probably like, this fucking guy's an asshole. Tag the Ralph.
• 1:29:22
  Don't tag the Allaire Center. I feel like it was that bitch from the Ralph. Yeah, tag the Ralph.
• 1:29:26
  Or actually, better yet, I love the Ralph. Tag the Ralph. How about the Fargo
• 1:29:29
  Dome? Tag the Fargo Dome. Be like, oh, this bitch messed up our table.
• 1:29:32
  Did you say we're done with the tasting?
• 1:29:35
  Yeah, just since the last beer hour. Yeah, the Pills. Yeah, the Pills is the
• 1:29:39
  last beer. Which one are you picking? What do you mean?
• 1:29:42
  What's the beer in a week? Personally? Mmm. I think stuff. Hold on,
• 1:29:46
  wait, wait. I need to retry them.
• 1:29:48
  I'm just kidding. Ready? Hold on a second. Look at that. Look at that. Yeah.
• 1:29:54
  I like it, I like it, I like it. The wheat. Is that AI too? It's AI. Oh, everything's AI.
• 1:30:00
  You know what? AI's taking over, so we just going to let it take over.
• 1:30:02
  As much as I love the blueberries, I'm going with non-satanic,
• 1:30:09
  the black lager. The black lager?
• 1:30:11
  Yeah. That was your favorite? It was my favorite because I like sours and I
• 1:30:17
  like what Drucker does with blueberries, the blueberry sours and everything like that.
• 1:30:20
  The slangs and everything, but I like light beer and I like dark style lagers
• 1:30:26
  like this a lot. I think they're very underappreciated.
• 1:30:29
  So beer of the week is... Non-Satanic. Non-Satanic.
• 1:30:33
  The dark Czech lager. Black goat, that's what it's called? Yep.
• 1:30:36
  Oh, the black goat. I like this one.
• 1:30:38
  What was your favorite? My favorite today was the mango, mango, mango.
• 1:30:44
  That was good. I liked the mango too, and I also liked the fluff one.
• 1:30:47
  The fluff one? The blueberry fluff? Mango, the fluff. The fluff one is a series
• 1:30:51
  that they have, and it's always good. It's always like marshmallow and something else.
• 1:30:55
  It's always good. So that's why I said because Sierra Nevada finally released
• 1:30:58
  their pills nationwide, and they finally made it nationally.
• 1:31:01
  I love this. Is that a Happy Harry's right now? Yep. Nice.
• 1:31:05
  And they made an 8.4-ounce can, as a traditional Pilsner should be.
• 1:31:08
  I like it. So it's the size of a small Red Bull cam, honestly. Yeah.
• 1:31:13
  But it's fucking delicious. What's the percentage?
• 1:31:16
  Five, five, four, seven. Four, seven. Well, so that's a normal, right?
• 1:31:22
  So you got to drink like 10 of those. Yeah, exactly. Bushlight, you got to drink 20.
• 1:31:28
  Keystone 30. It's like a keystone, like you were saying, Paul,
• 1:31:31
  like 30 keystones to every.
• 1:31:33
  See, I'm a swear word in my life. See, I underappreciate it.
• 1:31:37
  I love banquet a lot. I love high light. Of course, banquet.
• 1:31:40
  If you're going to drink a good beer, of course, banquet is a good beer.
• 1:31:42
  I've heard that the yellow jacket. The yellow bellies. Yeah,
• 1:31:44
  it's a very good beer. Yeah, I can't lie to you. The yellow bellies?
• 1:31:47
  If you want to drink a good beer, It's a spritzer in the summer.
• 1:31:51
  You can make it a spritzer in the summertime or whenever.
• 1:31:54
  With Coors Banquet? No, you take High Life, you drink a little bit out of there,
• 1:31:57
  and you pour Aperol in there, the Aperol liqueur in there, and it's a spugat.
• 1:32:02
  It's a spritzer, and it's really good. Okay. They're so creative.
• 1:32:06
  This guy right here, he will have you completely drunk all the beers. He mixes it together.
• 1:32:11
  He mixes so many beers together, you're like, what am I drinking? What am I drinking?
• 1:32:14
  What am I drinking? Well, the fact that you're like, this makes Neapolitan.
• 1:32:16
  And if you mix this one and this one, those Boulevard, whatever those are,
• 1:32:20
  those barrel-aged milk.
• 1:32:21
  This comes from a long time of a bartender. If you're a chunk of time of bartending,
• 1:32:24
  like I've made cocktail menus for bars and restaurants before.
• 1:32:28
  And I like making stuff like this, but I've also spent a little bit of time
• 1:32:31
  brewing here and there. Oh. To be honest.
• 1:32:35
  You're a homebrew guy. To be honest. Well, and I've probably haven't had these
• 1:32:38
  many beers in a long time. Really? Because you're here. I brought the vibe. You brought the vibes.
• 1:32:43
  Well, so for pork and brew, we have our own beers at this event.
• 1:32:46
  Oh, okay. So I got, I got two kits.
• 1:32:49
  I got one for me and one for Shannon and the, the app, the, the,
• 1:32:53
  group is called Pinter USA, so it's like the old Mr. Beer Kits. Okay.
• 1:32:56
  I don't know what the old Mr. Beer Kits are. So it's like an old like keg.
• 1:33:00
  Okay. Like an old like wooden plastic keg looking thing and you're just dumping
• 1:33:03
  it in and you just let it make.
• 1:33:05
  Oh, sure. So the Pinter one is you pour the, it's all these breweries that collaborate
• 1:33:09
  with this are beneficial for it.
• 1:33:11
  So it looks like ooze and goop when you pour it, squeeze it out of the bag and into the Pinter keg.
• 1:33:19
  Pour fresh water around it, pour the goop in there and you shake it up really
• 1:33:23
  well and after a while you pour you they give you a little,
• 1:33:26
  vial with the yeast in there and you let it you attach it to there and you let it like
• 1:33:31
  ferment and bake yeah all the year then after
• 1:33:33
  a few hours you can actually drink the same beer that's made at the brewery
• 1:33:37
  that you made yourself oh wow okay all right so we're gonna have one we're gonna
• 1:33:40
  have like a fermentation process is on like crack basically it takes like it
• 1:33:45
  takes like five to eight hours to make the beer but we're gonna have our own
• 1:33:50
  beers there that are from the breweries that I picked that to order the beers from.
• 1:33:53
  Yeah. So we have a stout and we're going to have a hazy tropical IPA.
• 1:33:57
  That's awesome. So two different flavors that are ours, but they're already
• 1:34:00
  from different breweries. They're already made.
• 1:34:01
  That's awesome. But it's fun stuff that we can claim that, hey,
• 1:34:04
  we got shits and giggles for us. Something different.
• 1:34:07
  But eventually, I'm hoping like this summer and in the fall,
• 1:34:10
  we'll have some beers with actual breweries with us. With us on a can and something
• 1:34:15
  that we can do together. That's so cool.
• 1:34:16
  Yeah. Reese and Fulton and all that. Brian, one of the owners of Fulton,
• 1:34:20
  Brian, he's invited us down to the brewery.
• 1:34:22
  Yeah. They want to do a beer for us and they want us to present it at the brewery and have it there.
• 1:34:29
  You guys have to agree on like this. You guys don't have the same taste.
• 1:34:31
  It doesn't seem like. No, we do. We love dark beer. Okay. All right.
• 1:34:35
  He likes Hazies and IPA, stuff like that.
• 1:34:39
  He'll go dark beer with me. And I've been getting into the lagers.
• 1:34:42
  I like lagers too. But I'm always down for dark beers.
• 1:34:44
  I hate IPAs and everything I'm always going to love, but like I'll take a good
• 1:34:48
  dark beer and a good lager over them hands down. I'd be cool with a lager.
• 1:34:52
  I like a lager. But I know Elm Creek's down for a beer with us.
• 1:34:54
  Junkyard, we got to get them.
• 1:34:56
  Jericho, we got to get them. Pretty nice. Yeah. How long have you guys been doing this?
• 1:35:00
  Two years now? A little over two years? A little over two years.
• 1:35:02
  That's it? Yeah. I feel like it seems longer. I know it does seem longer,
• 1:35:05
  but you know what, though? We've been pretty consistent.
• 1:35:08
  We always come out with something, some content all the time.
• 1:35:11
  We're always pushing, pushing, pushing, pushing, pushing.
• 1:35:13
  You know what? It's just a slow grind. Yeah, it's good. And I think that consistency
• 1:35:17
  is the key with anything.
• 1:35:19
  I got golf towels for the event, for a pork remover to see what people think
• 1:35:22
  about them, so if we want to sell them. Oh, I'll have a book.
• 1:35:25
  I'll take, I'm going to buy it, but I'll take a free golf towel.
• 1:35:27
  Oh, we got, I got, I got, I got a shirt for a time. Which size shirts do you wear?
• 1:35:31
  Like a t-shirt. Like, well, a t-shirt? If it's just a t-shirt,
• 1:35:34
  I want like the biggest size you have because I'm going to sleep in them.
• 1:35:37
  I was saying. I sleep in my t-shirt. I sleep in a big t-shirt.
• 1:35:39
  We got tons of nice stuff. Especially if you're, if you're a golfer. Yeah.
• 1:35:43
  You've got to sign up for the Parrot Scale Golf Trouble. Not well,
• 1:35:45
  but I am. I've never done. That sounds like a drunk fest. It is.
• 1:35:47
  I'm like, that sounds like a drunk fest. We're there. We're handing out beers and shots.
• 1:35:51
  You know what? Oh, yeah, yeah. You know what? You guys should join it.
• 1:35:54
  They'll ever send us to have a team. We should. We're the worst team.
• 1:35:56
  We lose every tournament.
• 1:35:57
  But we actually, like, I play a fair amount. But as a golf scramble,
• 1:36:00
  it's just fun as shit. Yeah. It's so much fun. They're there to win.
• 1:36:02
  We're there for vibes. Exactly. The vibes. Yeah.
• 1:36:05
  And the last couple of, the last one was rainy.
• 1:36:08
  It was radiant cold it was 9 or 10 in the morning it was a little chilly out
• 1:36:12
  with rain it was chilly as hell, it was cold,
• 1:36:15
  we had a good time I'm actually about to get cut from the Allaire Center team because I left one event.
• 1:36:23
  Because it was thunderstorming and lightning and there was a rain delay and
• 1:36:28
  I had a blanket around me and it got all wet and soaked and I was like Derek
• 1:36:31
  to our AGM bring me back to the clubhouse now and he's like no,
• 1:36:34
  don't pussy out Don't pussy out.
• 1:36:36
  I said, I'm pussying out. I'm out. Yeah, I'm out of here, right? It was just terrible.
• 1:36:39
  I would have bailed out, too. I would have given Derek, like, deuces, bitch.
• 1:36:43
  I did. And then they gave me a lot of shit. He's like, you're cut from the team.
• 1:36:45
  You don't get to come anymore. What the hell? And I was like,
• 1:36:47
  I signed the checks. And it was a whole thing.
• 1:36:51
  Derek, you like your knees? Yeah, right, right. Exactly, right?
• 1:36:54
  No, it's true, though. It's true, though. I mean, look how many beers we drink
• 1:36:57
  today. We never drink this many beers, Anna.
• 1:36:59
  Oh, I don't believe you, but. No, we never drink this many beers.
• 1:37:02
  We usually go like five, right? Last week was like six, maybe five, six, maybe.
• 1:37:07
  This is more than usual. Just we're talking a lot of shit. This is more than usual.
• 1:37:11
  So we were just, when you said you were staying? Yeah. Because I told Alan,
• 1:37:14
  I was like, well, I'm not sure how long Anna's going to stay. Right.
• 1:37:18
  I'm guessing she has to go back to work, so she probably can't even drink.
• 1:37:21
  But you were here for the business.
• 1:37:23
  Yeah. I'm here. I'm all in. Pork and Brew. Everybody buy your tickets.
• 1:37:26
  That's right. I'm in Pork and Brew. January 31st, man.
• 1:37:28
  Make sure you're there. If you haven't bought your tickets yet,
• 1:37:30
  get your tickets January 31st. You get tickets at Lyra Center.
• 1:37:34
  You get tickets at Happy Harry's.
• 1:37:36
  Office if you come to us ticketmaster.com ticketmaster.com i
• 1:37:40
  know happy harry's on like their second or
• 1:37:43
  almost third round of vips that they fucking fly through
• 1:37:46
  there yeah it's awesome yeah you know what on my
• 1:37:49
  on my on my uh even in general mission you still get
• 1:37:52
  a lot of good stuff oh it's awesome even on mission like you get
• 1:37:55
  so much food you get a full tummy you get a
• 1:37:57
  full tummy of beer yeah i i will advocate
• 1:38:00
  for this if if at some point
• 1:38:03
  the pork brew ever does become a little slower could
• 1:38:07
  we introduce bourbon let's talk to Greg let's do it bourbon bourbon pork bourbon
• 1:38:12
  pork brews right I talked about like making a different like my goal was to
• 1:38:16
  do like a tacos and tequila fest or something because I love tequila so Fargo
• 1:38:20
  I do Fargo does that Fargo does that every year around Cinco de Mayo right right.
• 1:38:27
  What do you guys say, Paul? Get a hold of happy ears. Wine and cheese. Yeah.
• 1:38:30
  I know. And I love wine. We did like a wine not event with Layton last year.
• 1:38:34
  I don't know if we're going to do that one again, but it was great.
• 1:38:36
  So, I mean, we're always, we're all here. I think wine and cheese would probably
• 1:38:38
  be more for like the ballroom.
• 1:38:40
  Right. Right. And that's where we did like our wine event with them last year
• 1:38:43
  and it was good. But I don't know, like pork and brew has legs though.
• 1:38:46
  And that thing has had legs for 12 years.
• 1:38:48
  It does. So I think it's like you run for a couple of years and it's like it,
• 1:38:50
  it does okay. And it peaks and it dies.
• 1:38:53
  Pork and brew is still like, we're all in. So if we can make another food truck
• 1:38:57
  festival, like we're always creative or incorporate something new into it.
• 1:39:00
  I mean, we're always down for whatever.
• 1:39:02
  I always told you, you know how you guys do the parking lot stuff?
• 1:39:05
  How don't we do a brew thing in the summer?
• 1:39:07
  Well, cause you guys, when you guys do the street event with the drag,
• 1:39:12
  the steel show or whatever. Yeah.
• 1:39:13
  God, why can't I think of it? Smoke or whatever. Smoke and shine.
• 1:39:15
  Yep. Yeah. My buddy or our buddy, Hoppy Spear guy is a 68 Camaro. He's gotten that show.
• 1:39:20
  Okay. Yeah. He's actually won a couple of awards. Okay. Yeah,
• 1:39:24
  he has a great 68 Camaro green. It's gorgeous. Yeah, it's gorgeous.
• 1:39:28
  But I'm down for it if you want to set up an event like bourbon tequila and tacos.
• 1:39:33
  Bourbon tequila and tacos. Oh,
• 1:39:35
  my. That sounds like a lot of Ubering afterwards. No, it's Berea bourbon.
• 1:39:41
  Well, we have a Lyft partnership with the Allaire Center, so you get a discount
• 1:39:44

• 1:39:52

  Everybody's excited. The town is excited. Yes. There's also the big dog in this town.
• 1:43:52
  The only other thing I wanted to pitch for that is I hope I see more females at these events.
• 1:43:56
  I love the ladies at the events. The only thing is it's more or less guys that
• 1:44:01
  are there, but I know there are a lot of women that drink beer,
• 1:44:04
  and they hide in the shadows very well. But I've seen lots of women come.
• 1:44:08
  Yeah, they come in their outfits. They come in their really cool,
• 1:44:10
  awesome, matching outfits.
• 1:44:12
