The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G

A Belgian Wheat Walks Into A Bar And Wakes Up In Pilsen

Sambambalo Season 1 Episode 13

The studio is small, the bar downstairs is loud, and that’s exactly the vibe we wanted. We kick off rough and real—gain staging, headphone checks, and a reminder that making anything worth hearing is messy at first. That scrappy energy carries us into a city talk that hits close to home: how a neighborhood can go from familiar to foreign in a few rent hikes, and why the line between “revival” and “removal” too often runs along bridges and train tracks. Pilsen, Five Points, Cabrini-Green—different places, same pattern. We name it, sit with it, and keep it honest.

From there we pivot to a plan: build a weekly beer segment that matches our weekend rhythm. Blue Moon gets the first review—Belgian-style wheat, soft citrus, hint of vanilla—and we share practical serving tips (chill it hard, pour in a pint, add an orange slice if you want brightness). Our friend and soon-to-be regular “Home Slice” dials in with a BuzzBall Chiller and a pro move: shake with ice to wake the flavor and soften the body. It’s good company, simple drinks, and the kind of advice that actually changes your glass.

We also let off steam where culture gets noisy: superhero fatigue, campy reboots, and action stakes that evaporate when villains monologue. Between rants and laughs, the conversation turns to how we spend our nights now—more sleep, less shots, more time creating—and why phones that do everything have made us worse at talking. So we make the case for calling again. Say what you mean, skip the emoji decoding, and keep your attention where your life happens.

If you’re into real talk about cities, beer you can actually find, and building a show in public with a new voice joining the crew, you’ll feel at home here. Tap play, rate Blue Moon with us, and drop your favorite beer for a future review. If you’re heading out after listening, please rideshare and get home safe. And if this hits, follow, share with a friend, and leave a review—your support helps this DIY thing grow.

If they get bigger than that, or this thing starts to uh these things start to light up, then turn it up. We don't want we want a wave. Just because we're moving around, and if we're talking about fucking gay porn and we don't remember a fucking uh actor's name, then then you gotta get all up in there, right?

SPEAKER_01:

You know, I was just in the neighborhood. Figured we'd do a late night show. Yeah, well, see how things are going.

SPEAKER_03:

It's starting to become a regular thing anyway, so you know.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I figured that, right?

SPEAKER_03:

Yep, yep.

SPEAKER_01:

Why not? Why not give the some uh people something uh to listen into? He looks like you got yourself uh you got your hair did, huh? Yeah, you know, you gotta get your hair done, all that stuff. Yeah, I I was thinking about stepping out, I'm not sure yet. It's still a little stepping out on it.

SPEAKER_03:

Stepping out, freaks come out. Starting another podcast.

SPEAKER_01:

No, no, no, no. Just going out to get some inspiration, you know? Freaks come out at night. No, but um, I don't know, we'll see. Because I on the way here, it seemed like there was a lot of traffic. I'm not a big fan of traffic. Not a big fan of sitting in traffic.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, I mean, you have to remember this is what well no, I don't know. Is this the weekend before?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, the weekend before Halloween. Halloween? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Like, it's uh this weekend and next weekend for sure.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, that's why it's getting all right. It's rowdy downstairs right now.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's seems like they got uh something going on downstairs.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, there was a Halloween party for it. It seemed like it was only like an hour or something like that. A Halloween party? Yeah at this place? Well, you know.

SPEAKER_01:

What the hell?

SPEAKER_03:

You know how people be.

SPEAKER_01:

Bunch of skeletons downstairs.

SPEAKER_03:

You know how people be. I don't know about yeah, the decorations are pretty nice. Ass, dude.

SPEAKER_01:

No, dude. No, but um, you know, I'm not trying to knock nobody down.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, teach to each their own, you know, everybody has their opinions about it. I'm more of a chef. I'm more of a I'm indifferent. I could care less about any place.

SPEAKER_01:

So me, I'm more of a downtown bar type of guy. You know, pubs, what are the club?

SPEAKER_03:

Speakeassies, a downtown guy with uptown tastes, huh?

SPEAKER_01:

I tell you, hey, they don't need to know where I'm from. These ladies don't need to know. I, you know, I just and um yeah, bro. It's just you meet people out there, you run into a couple of women, they got some nice high-rise buildings.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, this guy over here.

SPEAKER_01:

I don't want to get into too much detail, but yeah. That's that's that's kind of I don't know. Did I like the south side? I was born and raised on the south side. Don't want to get too much into that, but you know, it's cool, it's just a little sketchy out here. Yeah, so I mean it's sketchy anywhere, to be honest. Downtown, north side, any side you go to.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm from the west side, fool. What's up?

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, Chicago? Yeah, even sketchier.

SPEAKER_03:

From Pilson.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, yeah, I know that. I mean, they they they're cleaning it up a little bit now.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh yeah. You're talking about that was definitely sketch.

SPEAKER_01:

If you're talking about 10 years ago, you're you're yeah. You're talking about 10 years ago. That's different.

SPEAKER_03:

It's definitely changed. I lived there like 20 years ago, so yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01:

The thing is, they're making it more like hipster, I think. Like more, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03:

It's getting gentrified because it's a college, it's a college area. Area.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, that's true. That's true. It's just what they're doing is they're raising the rent, I think. And what's right? Oh, yeah, definitely. The people who used to live there who could barely afford the rent itself, they um what you call it.

SPEAKER_03:

Go ahead. Uh pause this for a quick second.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

So yeah, technical difficulties there. My son was who was produced helping us produce the show. Just got picked up, so we had to stop and I had to walk him out. You know. But we were talking about Pilson getting gentrified.

SPEAKER_01:

All I think is it is that they just raised the rent, so the people who used to live there can't afford it no more, so now they had to get pretty much.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, no, it's not just that, it's that um like aldermen or whoever they managed to get people that move with money to move into the community. And so these these people also invest into the community or like bring businesses or all sorts of little businesses and all that stuff, which keeps the community funded.

SPEAKER_01:

But I think they should have done that way before. Like, why wait for these rich white folks and mainly rich white folks, bro? I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_03:

Because like the difference is like, okay, so like, and granted, that's already happening, you know, before the gentrification stuff, you already have the mom and pop stores and all that other stuff. But the difference is that they want to bring in people with a lot of money so that they can open up their own mom and pop stores that kind of look like chipotles. You know what I'm saying? You know that fucking Yeah, but I'm not you know, that new age hippie, hippie dippy bullshit. But but all it's doing, bro, is just where all they do is like strip down the building to its bare minimum, slab a couple of fucking maple boards up here, up there, metallic chairs, and then they start charging fucking ten dollars for a beer and ten dollars for a taco, dude.

SPEAKER_01:

But it's just it's like all they're doing is forcing the people who used to live there out into a different place. That's the same thing that happened with Kabini Green when they knocked down the projects. That's why there's now like you're forcing people, everybody who can't afford to live in these nice neighborhoods and these generified neighborhoods. What do you think you're doing? You're pushing them to all one corner again. They're talking about building a new Chicago, they're building a new Chicago for all the other upper, upper, you know what I mean, hippier, all these other guys. What happened to the old, you know, what happened to the people that used to live there?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, no kidding.

SPEAKER_01:

They can't they could barely afford to rent already. And you're just gonna come and say, hey, we're gonna clean up the neighborhood. No, you're not. You're trying to force everybody out, yep, yep.

SPEAKER_00:

Which is ridiculous.

SPEAKER_01:

If you if they really cared, if they really wanted to build a new Chicago, they would have been done it when everybody was still there and kept the prices the same. Yeah. It's it's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_03:

And I've seen it, I've I've seen it in in Colorado too. There's a community called Five Points. Literally, it was where all the gang activity was happening at and stuff like that. Well, with a place called Five Points. Exactly. What place what place in America that's called Five Points? It's kind of like uh same thing with uh Martin Luther King.

SPEAKER_01:

That whole myth, whatever that myth is, whatever that myth is, I don't know, but you know, I keep reading It's just I mean every city almost feels like a copy of each other, but you what we what unique features, right? Chicago has this unique features.

SPEAKER_03:

No matter how you look at it. We never really got rid of segregation. We just got rid of it in the schools, that's about it. Even then, even then. Some kids, bro, they still get triggered. And you drive around here in Chicago in Illinois and you see it, bro. Especially when you drive around Chicago, you see it. You see the you see the difference. You pass the bridge, you're on your you know, or or cross uh cross the train track. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01:

And it's those are pretty much the imaginary borderlines. Yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

You can tell when you're in the barrio one moment you f you cross a bridge and you uh cross uh train tracks and you're in the barrio, and then you go under a bridge the next moment and you're in the hood. Yeah. No, I will say uh but then you go to downtown and it's come on now, downtown. I mean, it's a mixture, but it's a mixture. It's a mixture, but it's not as it's definitely a melting pot. But yeah, but like literally, you don't really see white folk around around Illinois unless uh unless you see them in their car. Right, right, unless they're driving by or unless you're in ch in downtown.

SPEAKER_01:

Right. You know what I mean? You don't really see them in these little unless they're there for some other reason. Exactly, exactly. You know, which is cool. I'm not knocking it.

SPEAKER_03:

And I'm not talking like I'm talking like actual American American white folk. I'm not talking about like your immigrant, like Polish German people or anything like that. I'm talking like you straight up Yeah, I know what you mean.

SPEAKER_01:

Straight up. You straight up uh what's that what's that one cottage that that's hard to get into? Not Ivy.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh Ivy League schools, you mean?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, those type of yeah. Harvard, Harvard, Stanford, Stanford, talking about those type of, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

Princeton. Right.

SPEAKER_01:

And they're cool, bro. I mean, I'm at some pretty cool. Yeah, no, nothing against them.

SPEAKER_03:

It's just them motherfuckers can party, that's for damn sure.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, that's for sure. Because they got the money to party. Well, yeah, of course. Exactly right. Yeah. And even if I had the money, bro, I'd probably be knocked out at 10 o'clock anyways.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Not a big fan of being up to usually sleep by seven anyway, so I'm good. One way or the other.

SPEAKER_01:

I don't mind being out. It's just I'm not a big fan of being up to one, two in the morning. You know what I mean? The latest I could probably like I'll like to stay out as like 12, 12:30.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, I'm not really, I don't like being out to two in the morning, three in the morning. I don't get that. You get home, what you only get a couple hours of sleep.

SPEAKER_03:

Like, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

I can't, dude. You know, and and and not knocking anybody that does it. I know some people stay at the club till the club closest. Four o'clock and three o'clock in the morning, which is cool.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, whatever, everybody, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

Or some pla or like some places around here till four o'clock in the morning. You know what I mean? And like I said, I mean I don't get like that's weird. I must it must be a sign of me getting old. But I've noticed that, especially now that I've been living above a bar and everything else, it's like, damn, dude. Damn. Like, was I really like that? Seriously, was I really like out to it's eye-opening, bro. It's eye-opening, like, because I can't do that anymore. I mean, I could do it. I could if we're but nowadays anymore, I just like I'm just concentrated on coming home, creating stuff, making music, maybe doing the podcast, going home working, and I don't really want to deal with any uh I don't like bringing in outside influences to muck up my daily routine, you know what I'm saying? So yeah, man, it's like I remember fucking getting off of work and cracking a beer, going all night to like three o'clock, four o'clock in the morning, going to sleep, and having to be to work at like eight o'clock. Yeah, dude. Yeah, I don't even know. I don't I'm surprised that I'm that I don't have any sort of disease. I mean, I'm sure I have some cirrhosis or something, you know, something, but uh, you know, I there's no telltale signs of it so far. Right. Thank God, knock on wood, all that stuff.

SPEAKER_01:

Right, right. Well, you know how it is. As you get a little older, priorities change, your body changes. Yeah, that's your sleep schedule changes.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, I've had my fair share of uh dalliances with uh with other vices. So that's all I have to say about that. Maybe that'll be for another podcast some other time.

SPEAKER_01:

Like Vice City. No, um I I I'm not really like ice city, more like it, but go ahead. No, I'm not really uh I mean I I I'm I hate needles first of all. Scared of needles.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh yeah, me too. Uh you know, it's not that hard, bro. Okay, no, no.

SPEAKER_01:

You know not that hard. I'm more just all natural, you know, maybe. No, but definitely.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean I mean, we all have to go through our fair bullshit to definitely to figure out our sweet spot.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, definitely, definitely. And and sometimes you you know, there's there's just a phase in life where you just go through some things and what's that called um experiment. And you might like some things, you might not, and you know, I just I never really wanted to experiment. I just I don't know, you know, growing up. I mean, growing up in the city, it's easy to get a hold of anything really. Anything you could think of, really, you could get a hold of with the right people. You don't even have to know the right people sometimes. You could just go to certain neighborhoods and yeah, yeah, you know it's a risk sometimes, but yeah, I mean I grew up with my uncles, and you know, they're potheads. So yeah, yeah, yeah. You got uncles that are potheads, you find a roach or two.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I'm an uncle that's a pothead.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, you know, so you might find a roach laying around and hey man, let me try it out. And you try it.

SPEAKER_03:

We all have uncles or our uncles that are potheads.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Honestly, nowadays it feels more like a lot more, or like they're it's more open. Like back in the day, they they try to hide it, right? Like they would tell me, hey, go go outside or go play with your friends for a bit. Right, right. And then I and then you I come back and it's like, oh, smells kind of smells like a skunk came through here. Yeah, exactly. You know, and they'd be like, Don't worry about that, don't worry about that.

SPEAKER_03:

You guys are all sleepy now all the second time. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_01:

Why are you guys eating and got the munchies like a but I didn't know, you know, you're a kid, you don't know what's going on, but no, I I actually didn't have I didn't grow up in that sort of thing.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, I I mean we had we had elders like one my cousin's dad, or at one point my grandpa they used to drink. You know, we that that was the biggest thing growing up for me, was just the drinking feeling. Yeah, my grandpa used to like to drink his 40s. And he wouldn't like overdo it all the time. He wasn't an alcoholic, but he did like to enjoy a beer every once in a while, like on a weekend or something, especially with the neighbor with his neighborhood pal.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, a beer's cool, like when you're by yourself, but a beer is always better with a friend or a neighbor.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess. I know, like uh a beer's always get better with you, you're a fan, but I mean not not with most everybody, right? Right, no, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Salute, you know, good company and beer is always a good sign. And like me, I don't mind. I I honestly don't mind uh having a beer by myself, watching a movie or kicking it or whatever. But like I say, it's you know, always good to have a beer with somebody. Sometimes I'll have a beer with my uncle.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, he's a he's a fan of uh Blue Moon.

SPEAKER_03:

Speaking of beer, you you had an idea that we were gonna try out, we're gonna try out starting right now. What was your idea there? Well, you know, we were we we're trying to do this new segment where um we watched it or maybe even a new podcast like a one once a week podcast or something like what is yeah, we are well uh no, I mean like one out of the three episodes per week that we drop are you seems like we're we're doing this whole thing of like uh meeting up on a Saturday or Sunday and having beers, so we might as well, you know.

SPEAKER_01:

Review 'em.

SPEAKER_03:

There you go. That's what my boy said right there.

SPEAKER_01:

And um, this one is shout out to my uncle, because uh he kind of put me onto them.

SPEAKER_03:

These are good. I mean, you know, I came from where they were made, so I know how good they are.

SPEAKER_01:

Let's talk about what we're drinking today.

SPEAKER_03:

What are we drinking today?

SPEAKER_01:

Today, we're drinking blue moon. So everybody who's tuned in, listening, sit back, relax, crack beer. Crack a beer? It doesn't have to be blue moon. Yeah, whatever, whatever beer you like, whatever flower. Crack one or pack one. Yeah, you know how what I mean. So I want to talk about blue moon today, right? Pour it or sparky. Doesn't matter. Sparky, sparky. We're uh we're talking about this Belgium, right? Yeah, Blue Moon. Usually people would say drink it with an orange juice. I mean orange juice, uh, slice of orange juice.

SPEAKER_03:

Slice of orange, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

But we're kind of just we just picked them up.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, no, we picked them up. I mean, you know, figure we're gonna be reviewing them. We might as well have them in our hands and at least be tasting them. But my boy did here, my boy actually went to school of hard knocks to do a little studying on we're talking about blue moon and it's Belgium.

SPEAKER_01:

So um, and it says here it's northwestern of Europe, also known as the Low Cont uh Low Countries.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Oh, hold on. Actually, you know what? Before we do that too, let's let's let's uh get two things uh out of the way now since we're since we're kind of segueing into that and we already kind of uh so another thing we were gonna do today is we're gonna slowly but surely start introducing our our possible third uh host, or maybe every once in a while host, but she will be a part of the cast one way or another. She's already been kind of contributing, giving ideas, and you know, for those of you that are tuning in to see how this DIY podcast is happening. You this is a DIY podcast at 8A Studios, a DIY studio. We decided we're gonna we're gonna do this podcast thing and figure it out and slowly but surely kind of improve ourselves and improve the show as we go along. And and so yeah, we we think we would try and get another host in here of the female influence, so maybe they can put a little woman stank on all this. But you know, so yeah, we I'm gonna be calling my homegirl home slice right now, and it's gonna be over the phone for now until we slowly but surely figure out a way to get her patched through. And eventually when we do videos, we might do a zoom zoom segment with her till we are able to get her patched through clearly more clear. But for now, we're gonna do maybe a 15-20 minute interview, and let's actually call her right now, but go ahead and uh give us the give us them facts there, but so uh like I was saying Blue Moon aren't really my top three picks, you know, when I go shopping for beer and whatnot.

SPEAKER_01:

But I will say, if you're looking for something to try, something different, I would consider Blue Moon.

SPEAKER_03:

What up, G?

SPEAKER_05:

How you doing?

SPEAKER_03:

Good, good, how you doing? Can you hear me?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I can hear you. Can you hear me okay?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, we we actually we got you out in here pretty good, actually. Can you hear?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I can hear.

SPEAKER_03:

Alright, uh can you hear Danny? Yo. You might need to speak up a little bit louder. Yo, yo.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, he's a little quiet, but I can hear.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, okay. So yeah, so you know, we're giving you a call just so you know. You know, what we talked about, we figured we'd try introduce introduce you to the show. And I already kind of gave you uh a little bit of an introduction, but uh I don't know if you want to give the audience some sort of history as to who you are and everything else. Uh leave the mic up to you. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_05:

All right. Yeah, this is uh home slice, and I'm happy to be here. And I don't know, I'm just kind of uh kind of an awkward nerd trying to tag along on this fun ride with y'all.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, we appreciate that.

SPEAKER_05:

You bet. Let's do it.

SPEAKER_03:

Alright. So uh we uh actually just started with the whole uh blue moon, the whole blue moon critique here. My boy was about to go through uh his uh research, so why don't we give the mic to him for uh a couple of minutes? I'll I'll scoot you over so you can listen to him a little bit better.

unknown:

Sounds good?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, no, so we're uh we were talking about blue moons because that's where we're pretty much drinking right now. And it is it's funny because it was brew, it was a brewer, it's a brew, it was it's a brewery in uh Denver, Colorado, which I didn't even know that. I didn't even know that. And it's uh by brewmaster, Keith Villa.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay, Keith Villa.

SPEAKER_01:

And I and you know it's got a it's kind of got a vanilla vanilla taste to it. Yeah, I mean I don't know what you think about it, but it definitely got some sort of a taste to it for sure.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean I don't know if uh home slice ever tasted. But what do you think, home slice? I don't know if she's ever tried Blue Monday.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, sorry, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03:

No, go ahead. You're good.

SPEAKER_05:

I was also looking into it myself because I just kind of didn't really know a whole lot about it. I've had them before. But yeah, it started in 1995, and the OG name was actually supposed to be Belly Side Belgian White.

SPEAKER_03:

I kind of like that. Yeah, belly slide, yeah. Really?

SPEAKER_05:

A beer that good only comes along once in a blue moon.

SPEAKER_02:

That's a good one. Yeah, that is pretty good. What are you drinking over there?

SPEAKER_05:

So what I have today is a buzz ball chiller. Buzzball chiller. They're these little, I don't, they kind of look like balls. You can find them around here just about any gas station, grocery store, liquor store.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

It is 15% ABV, so this little tiny ball, it's 187 milliliters, really packs a punch. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Sounds like it.

SPEAKER_05:

It says like orange, orange wine with natural flavors and milk, but it's supposed to taste kind of like a snipperdoodle. Um it recommends that you shake it really well. Fun fact, this company was founded by women, so I love that.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely. We we we all love that. Bunch of women, a bunch of women making balls. You know, you know, they got good knowledge about making good tasting balls.

SPEAKER_05:

Right, right. So the way I'm gonna drink this today is I'm gonna go ahead and just pop pop the can open, or you know, it's kind of got a typical can top and take take a quick little sip.

SPEAKER_03:

Is it twist off or no? It's it's those are the ones that look like a regular soda uh pop top, right? It's got the yeah, right, right. So it's like uh basically like a like a plastic ball, but it's got like a flat top with a little tab to just crack her open.

SPEAKER_01:

They they recently came out, huh? Like a couple months ago, like a year.

SPEAKER_03:

It's been a few years now, I think. I remember I remember seeing them last couple of times.

SPEAKER_01:

I recently started seeing them, like probably like a year ago. Yeah, they weren't really popular over here in Chicago.

SPEAKER_03:

So how how are you drinking yours?

SPEAKER_01:

Straight?

SPEAKER_05:

So I just took a sip of it straight out of the thing, and I'll tell you, this is a thick boy. It's very thick and it's very rich. So is it honestly what I would recommend with this particular flavor is to preserve it over ice, or even better, if you have a cocktail shaker, it would be great to put it in a cocktail shaker with some ice and shake it up and then strain it into a glass. And what that's gonna do for it, it's gonna help mix it up everything around that settled, and then it's gonna peel it, of course, and it's also gonna dilute it just a little bit so it takes away a little bit of that thick rich body edge. I don't have a shaker with me right now, but I'm just gonna go ahead and pour it over some ice and stir it about with a straw. See how that affects the overall experience.

SPEAKER_03:

You're making me drill over here. Sounds good. And I would I would assume I would assume that the the the that the shaking also kind of creates a froth at the top, too, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_05:

It does. It creates a froth and it helps aerate.

SPEAKER_03:

That sounds delicious right there.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, so that's how I used to do my chocolate martinis. I don't know if you remember those from back in the day hanging out in my basement playing pool, but yeah, good old chocolate martini with milk and vodka and big. Milk and vodka, yeah, yellow and Irish cream, and that chickens frothy and delicious. So this is very much like that.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, it's delicious. And one of these little balls is like$3.99.$3.99?

SPEAKER_03:

Oh shit. That tastes pretty good. Yeah, no kidding. That's like at least two uh two Smirnoff shots, which are like a dollar each. Probably even three. Maybe, I don't know. Maybe maybe my math is wrong.

SPEAKER_05:

Smirnoff is kind of but yeah, this is much better on the ice. I think this is the way to go. But you know, if you're just like you know, you don't have anything like that available, drinking it straight out of the little ball is totally fine too. You know, they also make really giant ones. I don't know if you've seen those, but they make like what's the equivalent of a 750 milliliter. They're huge and they're still ball shaped. I haven't tried one of those yet, but those are kind of fun.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, that sounds like a I think that's a pint, isn't it? I'm pretty sure it's a pint. No, more than a pint. Oh no, that's yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right. Yep, yep.

SPEAKER_01:

It's probably like half a gallon. Yeah, you're right, you're right. They got them here at the at the liquor store at the gas station. I seen them.

SPEAKER_03:

So how are things in Colorado, homie?

SPEAKER_05:

Oh good, man. We've been enjoying some pretty awesome weather. It's been a pretty amazing fall season so far.

SPEAKER_02:

Is it warm over there?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, it's been pretty warm. We've been hanging around in the 70s pretty much every day. We've had a couple cold ones, but nothing, nothing crazy. This has been beautiful.

SPEAKER_03:

Lucky, it's been uh pretty cold over here the last actually all week long since last week, and it's it almost seems like it's wanted to snow, but it's just really cold as fuck. Summer. Are you gonna watch any games tomorrow?

SPEAKER_05:

Nah, nah.

SPEAKER_03:

No Broncos games. Come on, I thought you were a Bronco fan.

SPEAKER_05:

I used to be, I used to be, but I mean, shit. They haven't been a good team in years, man.

SPEAKER_03:

So homie, ha have you not seen the record? They're like four and two. They're they're four and two right now.

SPEAKER_05:

I know, but shit, don't hold your breath, homie.

SPEAKER_03:

I know, hey, hey, hey. If anybody is a donkey hater here, it's me. I never really liked the donkeys. So Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_05:

You're more of a Kansas City Chiefs guy.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, it's my boys right there. It's my boys. They're gonna come back too. They're coming back strong. They're making a comeback. Nice, nice. How's the fella?

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, he's good, man. He's good. He says what's up.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, tell him I said what up, what up, what up. When he says we're gonna have to have the both of you guys on uh on here once we uh get the logistics and everything else figured out. But I you know, I'm I'm pretty uh opti uh you know optimistic that we'll figure this out and uh make a better show out of all this. It's so awesome to have you on the show though. I mean, it's almost bringing me back to uh the radio days.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, for sure, dude. It's awesome. Happy memory.

SPEAKER_03:

For sure, for sure. So what else you got going on today?

SPEAKER_05:

Not much. Uh just it's been kind of a lazy day. Actually, I slept really late as usual, and just kind of been lounging around and drinking and doing a little research, getting ready for this, and yeah, I'm just uh hanging out, man.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, uh I did I didn't mean to send you those videos for the uh Pontano uh sub challenge, but for some reason it's not going through, and I need to figure out what's going on with my OneDrive so we can start sharing it that way. But I guess you just have to wait to see it like everybody else.

SPEAKER_05:

Ah shoot. Okay, I'll be patient. I'm trying.

SPEAKER_03:

You got any other news uh happening for us over there in Colorado? I kind of missed a place. It's been like what uh two and a half years since I've been down there.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I don't I don't know, man. You're not missing a whole lot. I think, you know, just like a lot of places in in this country right now, there's a lot of infighting, like a lot of ice? Oh no. There has been some ice in town. I've heard reports. I haven't seen it myself, but they have been around. They've had a pretty heavy presence in Aurora, but it's been fairly quiet here.

SPEAKER_03:

That's surprising. No, they just uh they just hit us up I think what over this week, last weekend or whatever, they're still here, from what I understand. So that'll be interesting how that plays out. My mom keeps uh calling me to make sure I'm carrying my papers with me. I'm like, for what I'm I was born here.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, you know, the fucking thing is even if you had papers on you. Like they're gonna give a fuck. Bradley's been worried about the same thing because you know he's like he's like, What's my birth certificate? I want to have my birth certificate ready. And I'm like, Do you think they're really gonna give a fuck about your birth certificate?

SPEAKER_03:

And honestly, I mean, with him, he d he doesn't really look, you know what I'm saying? I I he doesn't really look like the type of person they're gonna ask for his papers, to be honest.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh I think we uh would disagree with you, you know, half Filipino. He's he he definitely is not a white boy.

SPEAKER_03:

He looks pretty damn white to me, but I mean I'm not one to judge, right? So right, right, right. Sure, sure, sure. Man, I miss you, homie.

SPEAKER_05:

I miss you, man.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm telling you, we're we're definitely gonna try to really I'm I'm racking my brain over here to try and make sure we get you uh patched in very clearly, and that way you can hear the both of us and we can get this show really popping. Because I really we we both have really been talking about getting you on here and trying to get a female's perspective on everything so uh for some of the listeners. But and in case you are curious, I just looked into our stats and we so on Facebook we have like over 500 views on a couple of episodes and like four subscribers, and then we're at like uh 110 downloads on Buzz Sprout.

SPEAKER_04:

So that's good, that's good.

SPEAKER_03:

Slowly but surely we're getting there, and uh hopefully maybe you can help us out with uh some ideas on how to you know what to some ideas on content really more than anything and stuff maybe we can start putting up on a paywall. Maybe uh start getting the three of us paid.

SPEAKER_05:

Sure. I mean that's obviously, you know, an end goal that's probably a little down the road, but in the meantime, you know, just getting getting used to the whole format and the setup and all that, you know. I know that's been a thing for you guys and how we're gonna do this, you know, kind of interstate. It'll it'll be interesting. But I do have to say I can hear you very, very clearly, and I'm really pleased about that. So right.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, I I I got you right up to the mic and right next to my mouth, so but yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

At least it's not wild or anything, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

No, no. And you know, I do want to remind the listeners this is a DIY studio, and we are I do live above a bar, and earlier today I'm sure it'll come through in the in the beginning of the show, but uh it was kind of really loud downstairs. It's died down since. So, you know, just a few things to consider whenever you are if you are starting a looking to start a podcast, is definitely pick out your spot where you're gonna do your production and your recording and everything else because that really does matter.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, good point.

SPEAKER_03:

And uh didn't you say you could have sworn uh didn't don't you have a radio background too?

SPEAKER_05:

I do. I mean, it's very similar to yours. You know, we were on that FM radio station back in the late 90s. Uh for a couple of years. So been a hot minute.

SPEAKER_03:

And then uh you didn't did you have uh a little brush with uh making a a commercial of some sort or something?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, yeah. So I was with a company that was developing a couple of different apps, and we put together kind of a short video that was just uh mainly us goofing around and having fun, but also trying to highlight what this app was supposed to do. Um that was a really fun video to make.

SPEAKER_03:

That was a really yeah, that that video took me by surprise. I was like, what the hell did you do this? But yeah, it's pretty cool. How long ago was it that you did that anyways?

SPEAKER_05:

That would have been probably around 2015, 2016. That was back when I was also starting to grow weed professionally. So yeah, I was doing all kinds of fun stuff back then and uh around a lot of pretty fun and creative people.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, Colorado's good for that.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, man, and uh we also did another video that was actually just sort of like a compilation that I put together. I'll send that one to you later. But I had a lot of fun with the editing process and you know, mixing the sound and and all that. It it didn't really get it didn't last long on YouTube because there's a lot of copyright issues.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

But I still have uh my own copies of that too because it's just kind of fun to showcase me to turn around.

SPEAKER_03:

But no, yeah, totally.

SPEAKER_05:

I mean in media is just good shit, you know? It's fun stuff.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, it's just creating content for me has just always been fun, no matter what it is. So but yeah, man, shit. I guess this is where we're gonna have to say goodbye, and hopefully by next time we we have some stuff uh uh patched up and we get you on here a little bit more clear and get you on here for a little bit longer because uh yeah, this has been great. And maybe we can all three of us get a little bit more involved.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, man, I look forward to it. Sounds good.

SPEAKER_03:

Good things, good things. And I again this is this was Home Slice, and you know, we expect to be hearing her from her a lot more often, and nothing but good things from uh from here on out.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, yeah. Alright, well, thanks out, guys.

SPEAKER_03:

Tell the homie I say good night, and you y'all have a good night.

SPEAKER_05:

Alright, you too.

SPEAKER_03:

Love Alright, so that was the home slice right there. A close and personal friend of mine from way back in the day. We went to high school together, and literally one of my oldest friends, too. Sorry for you know if we kind of boxed you out, but that's kind of how it goes right now with the production value and everything else. It kind of sucks because she couldn't really hear you. So I do apologize about that. You guys look on your face like fuck, dude. But you know, you know, we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. I really do think that the the the uh podcast board is gonna help us out on this one.

SPEAKER_01:

Uh yeah, yeah, no. Sorry about that, bro. Oh, no, it's cool. I was just listening in. Yeah, yeah. I was just listening in. Yep, yep. Um, it's always good to have uh somebody else's perspective on the show, especially a female's perspective. You know, I mean, most of the time podcasts are kind of for men. I mean, there's women podcasts out there too. Oh no, yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_03:

Everybody's welcome. Yeah, they're called uh uh true crime stories. Very true, very true. They are interesting. Yeah, they are. A to Z. That's my favorite one. A to Z, A A to Z crimes.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, they bring a little spice uh to life.

SPEAKER_03:

For sure, for sure.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, because where would we be without them? Yeah, where would be without them? Uh you know, you can't live without them and you can't live with them.

SPEAKER_03:

So, what else are what other research did you get you get from us there? Hopefully she didn't step on uh all your research there, bud.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh well, I mean uh well yeah, no, they're uh they were born in 1995, straight out of uh Denver, Colorado. Shout out to Denver, loved it, I love that place, dude.

SPEAKER_03:

All right, so bottom line for me is if you like a really smooth kind of wheat ale, this is the this is the the way to go. If you don't want to spend your time trying to try one certain brand or another different brand, because when it comes to Belgian beers and IPAs and all that other stuff, you're gonna find, especially if you're in Colorado. Now, here not so much, but in Colorado there's quite a few IPAs and home breweries and everything else. So for me, if you like the smooth Belgian style weed ale, it's the it's the best way to go. It's more accessible. You don't have to go from liquor store to liquor store to look for it like my goodness, because I like my goodnesses in the can.

SPEAKER_01:

Um you did say you recently tried them in bottle.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I did try them in bottles actually yesterday.

SPEAKER_01:

How did that go?

SPEAKER_03:

You know, I think I think it might have flipped, it might have flipped me on it. Mainly because it's the foam's not there, the nitrogen, the nitrogen's not there, so you're not getting that foam. You still get the food. But you do you they make up for it by adding more alcohol. Whereas the cans are 4.1 ABV, the bottles how much like 7.5, 6.5. Yeah, yeah, 6.1, I think. Or 5.9 or something like that.

SPEAKER_01:

We definitely like stronger, uh, stronger beer. Yeah, the stronger the better. You know, I tried IPA. I I kind of like IPA just because of the simple fact that they are a little bit more higher than IPv.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, and I I like drinking beer. The only problem is with beer is you get bloated. You gotta use the washroom every like five minutes.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, you know, fucking Mikelobotras, dude. Never again with Mikelobotras. I tried them, I tried them uh for like a month. I was like, man, these things are awesome. They're not getting me bloated, and but I'm farting and burping up the storm. And then I had an accident. You know, I went to sleep and woke up and I was like, who pissed up my bed?

SPEAKER_01:

Who did it? The thing about those is uh they're supposed to be more like less calories or something, no.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, but I mean straight up water, man.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, that's you're better off just drinking a water bottle. Yeah. At that point, you know, beer's when I think about beer, bro. I don't think about no none of that. Oh I mean, I get it, because some people they have health problems with it.

SPEAKER_03:

Right, right.

SPEAKER_01:

Whatever the case may be. But when I think about a beer, dude, I'm not trying to drink no 16%.

SPEAKER_03:

It was scary for me though, because I've never been one to you know, piss myself, but I wasn't even drunk. That was that was the main of it, I I had only had like six beers that night. And I was pissing up a strong made it, but I I thought I pissed them out, I pissed it all out, and then I went to sleep, dude. Surprise. Wasn't even drunk, drunk. Thought I pissed it all out, and I woke up in the morning, like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_01:

You gotta drink like 20 fucking miclootras to get drunk, dude. That's what I don't like about those.

SPEAKER_03:

No, that nah, for me, that's not the case. They're strong, they're way stronger than the regular Michelope. They have more alcohol in them. It's just that like they go down easy for me, you know, and they will get me messed up, but more than anything, it's got me taking a piss like literally every five minutes, and I, yeah. Yeah, can't do that.

SPEAKER_01:

Can't do it. You know, not going. I will say, I don't know if you want to rate these beers, and if we do, from what scale to what scale. I will give my opinion on uh Blue Moon. Like I said, I I rarely drink them, but uh I give Blue Moon from a scale from one to ten, a seven.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I mean it's not it's not my go-to, but I I will admit I I every once in a blue moon, I do feel like a blue moon.

SPEAKER_01:

So you know, and we like we said, once in a while we are doing this segment where we tried out different beers. If anybody wants to leave a comment or section and let us know what other beer you might be they might want us to try or review, yeah, yeah. And this is just my honest opinion.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah, hit us up. Let's start uh the community, uh let's start a comment thing here, and you know, definitely hit us up, let us know what kind of drinks you like to you like to drink, maybe uh give us a recipe. We might try it out later, you know, probably in another week or so. But yeah, we're always looking to do new stuff, and why not why not treat something that we're always doing while we're doing this podcast, right?

SPEAKER_01:

And on top of that, we do hopefully have a review coming for for that uh that challenge.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, no, that's coming up. Uh actually that's gonna be going up tomorrow for sure. Yeah, I've actually I was in the middle of getting working on all that. You guys have to excuse me on that because like I said, this is DIY. I do have background in radio, but it's not very much in audio and video, so this whole video thing is uh throwing me through a loop a little bit, but uh I'm fairly confident that by tomorrow I think I'll have it'll be out for sure.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, no, definitely. I mean we do have pretty uh pretty good amount of content to put out.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, we'll there there will be yeah, we we are trying to get more episodes out per week now instead of the one every week and a half. We're gonna try and do two to three, maybe even four. So definitely, hopefully, you guys, you know, we're keeping y'all interested. Definitely hit that subscribe button, you know, like, subscribe, look us up, you know, just put us down as one of your favorite podcasts, and you know, we'll send you notifications, or at least your phone will, and you know, we'll have a good old time and make some beautiful things.

SPEAKER_01:

I do want to say for me, blue moons are a little bit better if you put them in a freezer for at least 10-15 minutes. You gotta I like them cold.

SPEAKER_03:

You like our beers cold, I know they gotta be cold, bro. They gotta be frosty, so they gotta be frosty. As soon as I open it, I want that shit turning in the slush.

SPEAKER_01:

No, no, not slush, but it's gotta be damn near there. Like I like all my I throw my beers in the freezer because once you the thing is they're cool when you get them out the fridge when you go to your store, yeah, you get them out. But once you get home, depending on how far, even if it's a five-minute walk, by the time you get home, for some reason, they just I I gotta throw them in the freezer. Yeah, I have to at least for 10 minutes. It goes down smoother. I I feel like you get the more better taste. Like something about it being a little in the freezer, I feel like uh like ignites something inside the beer. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03:

That's just me. I get it, I get it. I was I felt the same way, but over time I you know, I was re I got to thinking it's like, man, these cold ass beers are awesome, but I mean I wonder how the these people back in the days before refrigeration used to feel about their beers, and you know, hey, don't nobody want a hot-ass beer. I mean, I've accustomed myself to drinking. That's how beer was drank when it first when it was first made to drink, right? It was made.

SPEAKER_01:

Hey, look, bro, I was I was being temperature. I don't give a fuck about the motherfucking with no fridges. I was born with a fridge, I was born with a freezer. So fuck them motherfucking with no fridges, no freezers. I'm gonna drink my shit cold. That's all I'm saying. You know what I mean? Give a fuck about the niggas that didn't have no fucking freezer, no fridges.

SPEAKER_03:

You mean you you don't I'm privileged. You ain't ever wake up to your half drink with half an empty beer and just finish it off the first thing in the morning.

SPEAKER_01:

We don't do half empty beers here. We finish our beers here. Yeah, well, yeah. You know what I'm talking about papas? Yeah. You know?

SPEAKER_03:

I don't admit it, bro. Sometimes, especially with coronas, I like shaving like the the last fucking the last quarter of the beer. You know, I'll put it right there next to my bed on the nightstand and all that shit. Wake up first thing in the morning, baby to the dome.

SPEAKER_01:

You're a sick man. No, hey, let us know. Maybe some people out there do like warm beer or drink it however, like you know, mead.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, I think they even make beers that are meant to be drink warm. I I think I'm not sure. I know I'm sure like mead and ales are supposed to be drink warm. I mean, how would they keep them cold back in those days? No, I believe it.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, it's just me personally. No, yeah, I no, I hear you, I hear you. I hear you. But I do want to get back to these blue moons, you know. They for people who haven't tried them or never really wanted to, they are pretty smooth if you put them in the freezer. They are pretty smooth, they're smooth all around for me, but like he said. And if you want to give that that full experience of a blue moon, I would suggest an orange slice and maybe a pint cup. Oh, yeah, definitely a pint cup. Because we're drinking them out the pack.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, yeah, the bottle's still good though.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, definitely, definitely. For sure. And I do want to say, it says here Dutch is mostly spoken, also French is spoken by around 40% of the Belgians out there, yeah, and 1% speak German.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, that makes sense. And I mean, they're near Germany, I think, or something like that, no? They're around that area, aren't they?

SPEAKER_01:

It's the northwestern Europe, also known as the Low Countries, as like I was saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like Homeslice says, it was called the belly slide. Yeah, right. You know, which sounds like a good name. Belly slide, yeah. You know, but compared to a blue moon, but no, a blue moon's better.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, it does sound better.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, and who doesn't like a blue moon?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, plus how how do you advertise a belly slide? You know? How do you advertise a blue moon that you've never seen a blue moon? I mean, the blue moon commercials I've seen are a lot more tastier than seeing some fat dude doing a belly slap.

SPEAKER_01:

But have you seen a blue moon in real life? Has the moon ever turned bright? You know what I mean? That'd be crazy, right?

SPEAKER_03:

That would be crazy. That would be crazy. I mean, they have we have red moons. Actually, I think I mean there is that song Blue Moon, so I don't know. I mean, you know, I think it all depends on like the clouds and all that shit in night, you know. Because I think the clouds do kind of do look if if you got an overcast with the moon and all that stuff, I think if it's shining through the clouds, it does kind of look blue.

SPEAKER_01:

You could get a light blue, right? You could get a light blue moon.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

I I really like the name, you know. There's a lot of views out there, right? But something about blue moon, and like I said, my uncle was the one initially. Yeah, every time, oh, he got a blue moon. I try them. At first, I'm not gonna lie, kind of didn't really like them. They were a little, they they taste a like kind of creamy, vanilla-y, you know. Yeah, yeah, I got you thick on the on that compared to Guinness. I want to do a comparison now. Guinness tastes like a lot of chocolate to me. Yeah, a little bit of coffee. This tastes a little bit more usually do. Right. This tastes a little bit more like vanilla-y, yeah, yeah. You know, and like I said, from uh one through ten, I give a little moon a seven.

SPEAKER_03:

A seven? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Guinness is up there. I would I would give it a seven. But as far as taste, now I want to talk about the taste. It's a little bit smoother than Guinness.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, don't give it a big one.

SPEAKER_01:

I can see that, yeah. You know, it's a little bit smoother than Guinness. I never I never threw a Guinness in the freezer, so I can't, you know, I can't say.

SPEAKER_03:

I wouldn't recommend it either with the nitrogen ball in there. So unless it's bottle, man.

SPEAKER_01:

And I haven't tried the bottle ones. We because usually you only buy the cans. Yeah, we're gonna be. I know you like the nitrous thing in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I I'm more of a bottle guy. I'm not man, I'm not really a can guy.

SPEAKER_03:

I gotta have the cascade with my Guinness, bro.

SPEAKER_01:

The bottle doesn't do it? It doesn't, no. The thing about cans for me, bro, it's got too much of that can taste. When it comes to any beer, I hear you. It's got too much of that can taste to me.

SPEAKER_03:

Bottles are more like I get no, I get it, I get it for sure. I get that. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't really matter to me. I I really don't drink beer, but when I did drink beer, it would be whatever, you know, shoe for all I care. Whatever I could get my hands on.

SPEAKER_01:

No, but uh, even a bottle I gotta throw in the freezer.

SPEAKER_03:

I hear you, I hear you.

SPEAKER_01:

No, but um, you know, we are trying different uh different things. Who knows what we'll try next time, you know?

SPEAKER_03:

Right, right, exactly. I don't know that lagonitas kind of uh caught my eyes.

SPEAKER_01:

I tried them. They're they're a thicker taste. Are they thicker taste than blue mood for sure?

SPEAKER_03:

Well it looks like they had two different styles of lagonitas. It looks like they had the lager, and then it looks like they had some sort of IPA house.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, they have uh a little some sum and then they have the regular lagonitas with like the little dog with like a uh black eye or something.

SPEAKER_03:

Have you ever tried uh mama's little yellow pills?

SPEAKER_01:

I heard about them, never tried them.

SPEAKER_03:

That's that's one of the ones that was uh lagunitas that was that was made from Left Hand Canyon Brewery, which is from the town I grew up in.

SPEAKER_01:

We could definitely uh try them out. I I I don't want to steer too far from Oscar Blues, too.

SPEAKER_03:

Same thing. Oscar Blues. Yeah, don't know them. Yeah, it's it's also it's it's a brewery, but it's also a beer. Uh little mama, mama's little yellow pills is made from that company as well. They got a whole bunch of actually a couple of them that are pretty good. I can't think of them off the bat, but we'll see if we can find some. If not, uh we'll figure it out somehow.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm not gonna lie, dude. I haven't had a blue one in such a long time, but I think I am gonna add them to my arsenal for sure.

SPEAKER_03:

Dude, it's starting to kick in a little, yeah, like really, really smooth. Like I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_01:

Like it's not like it's not rough, it's not too hard.

SPEAKER_03:

Like I noticed it's creeping in now. Like I wasn't feeling the buzz, but now all of a sudden it's starting to like slowly just like creep in.

SPEAKER_01:

I know what you mean. That's why I like them. That's like that's that's one of the reasons. Like I remember why. The last time I had a blue moon, bro, I'm not gonna lie, it was probably like a year ago, right? And like I said, the only reason I had them is because my uncle loves blue moons. And those I I do remember that the first couple of beers, you might feel like, uh, these aren't these aren't doing nothing. But by the time you hit that third beer, yeah, it creeps up. And I like and the thing is those are dangerous because you get that creep up, you know what I mean? A lot of a lot of a lot of liquor does that. But beer, most beers, as as you're drinking them, you kind of feel them as you go.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

But this one, like I say, it's uh it's a nice beer to kick back, relax, or if you're at a party, you're at a gathering, and you don't know what to bring, you want to bring something different, you want to bring something smooth to the table, something that people might try and like. I would recommend Blue Moon. Yeah, yeah. I would I give you I give Blue Moon a solid seven.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah, I I've seen Blue Moon parties in Colorado plenty, and I know a lot of people in Colorado that will drink nothing but Blue Moon. So yeah, I mean, it's not a bad beer. It's not a bad beer. It's it's honestly uh number seven for me, too. I mean, for me, Guinness is my go-to, but that's because I don't drink beer anymore. But yeah, yeah, yeah, I fucking think, yeah. So blue moon.

SPEAKER_01:

No, um I'm not really you know, back in the day I was kind of a liquor guy, mixed drink. I'm still a I'm still a mixed drink of type of guy. Once in a while we have a few shots here at the show. But uh lately, for some reason, beer's been my go-to. Yeah, more chill, more relaxed. I don't have those uh, you know. No, I got you. I got you, I got you. Sometimes I don't know if it's just I don't know what it is, but sometimes liquor can be a little too much, depending on the atmosphere.

SPEAKER_03:

When it's often constant, yes, it can be. Uh I am happy to say that I haven't had a drop of liquor in a few days. Amen to that fellow. Salute to that, brother.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm gonna say at least two for sure. It's it's hard to even go one day, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03:

No, not really. It's not that it's hard, it's just that it's less fun. A lot less funny when you don't, especially when you're in certain places. Exactly right. Dealing with certain people.

SPEAKER_01:

You know.

SPEAKER_03:

Hey, I do want to clarify some things about my my uh review of Superman. The Superman movie, the one that just came out with corn sweat.

SPEAKER_01:

I've never seen it, but it's ass.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I mean, it definitely kind of it's very campy, very, very let's try to get the family to come out to watch this movie type type vibes, you know? It's just like let's try to reach, let's try to hit every target audience we can get. The from the dad to the mom to to the daughter to the boy. We already know he we already got him locked up because he's the one that's dragging the whole family to come see this movie. But now we gotta, you know, to get everybody interested for the next movie, we gotta lock in every, you know, the rest, his parents and his sister. Basically.

SPEAKER_01:

You think that's why they brought the dog?

SPEAKER_03:

Of course that's what they mean he was a part of the comics, but he wasn't ever. Yeah, man. I think he was a part of like the Smallville comics or something like that, but that was about it. Like and I know that for a while they were trying to reintroduce crypto because I know they had like a that super pets movie or show or video game or something like that. I think actually I think it was a show with crypto, and then I think uh bad uh Batman had a had a dog too, and they were fighting crime and all that shit too.

SPEAKER_01:

Batman, yeah, Batman had a dog.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I didn't really see the show, but anyway, I do want to say I did go back and finish watching the movie. That didn't help. It really didn't help. So you watched it twice? Well, I watched from where I fell asleep. I mean, I went back a little bit further from where I fell asleep, a little back more from when I fell asleep to I so I can make sure that it's not me, that it was I wasn't just like missing stuff or whatever, but no, it's just not a good movie. It's it's not a good movie, man. I didn't see it, but I seen the clip, and when Superman was flying through the through the air, it seemed like he was discombobulated, like his face was all yeah, he was he that was the first uh trailer reel that they showed was that part in the beginning, it which basically looks dumb at the kind of at the beginning of the movie or whatever. But yeah, he's he's literally getting his ass beat the whole time. Kind of like the Batman. But he's super I know, but like kind of like in the Batman, where like you know, like he's you see him having technical difficulties with his costume and stuff, and in this one, bad Superman's getting his ass beat.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm not gonna lie, dude. I'm not really a big fan of Superman.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm really not I love Superman, man, but yeah, I think more from my understanding, from what I've seen, because Superman was a certain thing in a certain way when I was growing up. Back with the Christopher Reeves movies and all that stuff, and I never really did read too much of the comics when I was a kid. I didn't really read them until I was a teenager and didn't really realize all these other things that come with Superman, like the robots, and I and I knew all that was was a part of all that, but that was one one comic that kind of drew him up that way. I preferred the ones where it was just him in the Fortress of Solitude, no dog. Actually, I think it was around the time that they introduced Supergirl that they started trying to bring in crypto and trying to be more, but basically what's going on is that I I I think the owner or the uh creator of Superman is really just ruining the franchise. Because at one point he's supposed to have like all sorts of ridiculous things. At one point he said Superman what didn't fly, where you know he's not supposed to fly. Yeah, dude. He's just like finding all sorts of gimmicky ways to like, yeah. I don't know what's going on with that.

SPEAKER_01:

Superman, Superman, because he can fly. I don't even like Superman like that, but I know Superman can fly. Yeah, yeah, of course. That doesn't make sense, yeah, right, right. Doesn't make sense, dude. Kick his ass out of there. I don't even like I I'm pissed for Superman fans.

SPEAKER_03:

No, I don't even like Superman. I appreciate that because I'm kind of upset myself, dude. I really I mean I can we Superman fans could get past the whole Clark Kent, you know, that whole paradox of how can they not tell that it's him with glasses and all that shit, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

They took it too far with the whole Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_03:

It's yeah. I mean it just wasn't a good movie, dude. It just really wasn't a good movie. Even Lex Luthor, man, Lex Luthor was way whack, way too campy. And that sucks because I like Nicholas Holt. Nicholas Holt is a great actor.

SPEAKER_01:

You know what it is, bro? It's the whole new era of LG this, LG that, trying to make it woke. You know what it literally reminded me of? The Disney fucking movie.

SPEAKER_03:

Fucking uh well, I think they're they're all Disney movies. I think Disney owns them. They're too they're too what it reminds me of is Wonder Woman 78, 1978. Exactly like that, dude. Just nothing but colors and yeah, dude. It just get out of here, dude. Yeah, man. It's I don't really and then I see the lineup of the other movies that are gonna come out after this. Yeah, man. Clay Clayface. I don't understand that whole deal. How does Clayface is Clayface getting his own standalone movie?

SPEAKER_01:

I don't know who that is.

SPEAKER_03:

The dynamic duo. So I think they're gonna make a Superman with Robin type movie. What else? And I think they're looking on doing another Justice League kind of thing.

SPEAKER_01:

Like I said, uh, you know, I'm not really a big fan of all that stuff. I'm I'm mostly a Spider-Man fan.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I hear when I talk about Spider-Man, I think of uh Peter Parker.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm not a big fan of the not that he's not a good actor or nothing, but I'm not a big fan of this whole uh the guy who makes uh spider webs out of his school.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean they're all Peter Parker, but yeah, you're not a fan of that Spider-Man.

SPEAKER_01:

The new I forgot his name. He's a good actor, don't get me wrong. Cool guy, seems like a cool guy. Just I don't know, dude. I just I don't see him as Spider-Man. I really don't. Yeah, yeah, I get it. You know what I mean? When I think of Spider-Man, I think of Peter Parker, you know, which is for sure, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

So then you don't like the multiverse.

SPEAKER_01:

Never seen it, never cared for it. Don't want to watch it. Nope. Never watched it, never cared for it. He's actually really pretty pretty good ass, dude. It's funny, actually. I never watched it in a straight ass.

SPEAKER_03:

If it ain't Peter Parker, it is pretty good, but I'll admit it, yes. If he's not getting bit by a spider, bro, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Just like just like you have your original story for Spider-Man and how you wanted to stay. I wanted to stay, dude. If he's not getting bit by a spider, yeah, right, then fuck him, dude. If he's got if he's at school making this shit, fuck him, dude. Straight up. That's how I feel. You know, maybe it's the one.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't want my Spider-Man to be smart enough to make his own shit. I want him to be dumb and gay and have his shit given to him. Exactly, bro.

SPEAKER_01:

Like, dude, the original story is he's taking a picture of the girl he likes and he gets bit by a spider. That's where I'm that's where I'm going. How the fuck you go?

SPEAKER_03:

I'll admit it too, yeah. But at the same time, you know, I was always kind of like split between that whole idea, that whole thing, because I mean, that it's pretty gross, bro. I mean I mean, didn't you see in the movie when he's shooting the things out and things just open and just shoot that was pretty gross, dude. You know what I mean? Dude, fucking Superman shoots lasers out his eyes. That shit must be painful as well. His skin isn't splitting open and all that bullshit, y'all.

SPEAKER_01:

Dude, there's so many superheroes out there.

SPEAKER_03:

And there's so many stupid little things to most of your superheroes, man. That's what I'm saying. Most all super.

SPEAKER_01:

Secret identity. I don't want to have a whole recap of a podcast of something we already talked about, but I do want to say this. Fuck Batman, dude. He's not really a superhero. He's just some rich guy with a bunch of gadgets. I'm not gonna lie. A superhero to me is someone who's like with felon chemicals or was bitten, or that's the superhero to me. Yeah. I mean, I know I know I'm not gonna get a lot of shit for this dude, but Batman is not a superhero, dude. He's just some rich guy with a bunch of gadgets.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I kind of agree with you. That's all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01:

It's like, dude, it's like Jeff Basil put on a suit and went out to fight crime. Yeah, like come on, dude. And then Superman can't beat him, dude. That's the dumbest shit, dude. That I don't even like like, dude, come on, bro.

SPEAKER_03:

That's kind of exactly what it's like, too. Like Jeff Bezos being like Lexicon.

SPEAKER_01:

Dude, stop it. Stop it, dude. Superman should be able to whoop Batman's ass left and right, bro. Straight up. Like, it doesn't make sense, dude. I hate that shit. That's why I stopped watching these movies, bro. Because they're so dumb, dude. Like, it's all too colorful. Very far fetched. Too colorful. Very far fetched. Too fucking. Oh my god. Every time, dude, they're about to kill him, he gets saved. Kill that motherfucker, dude. I hate movies like that, dude. When the fucking guy that's supposed to die gets saved because the dude talks too much. Because oh my god, he's telling him, Oh, it's any last words? Any last words? Fucking dude's talking about 10 minutes, and oh my god, he gets saved. Have you seen that? Kill Batman, kill Superman, kill Spider-Man. Have you seen friendship? Fuck friendship, dude. I'm all about the money.

SPEAKER_03:

No, I think you like friendship because it's Tim. I think his name is Tim Robinson Robinson. No, not the basketball player. Tim Duncan. Never mind. Anyways, uh he's uh an SNL. He used to be an SNL, but he's got that show, I think you should leave. You never seen that show? I think you should leave.

SPEAKER_01:

I heard about it.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know. It's that that crazy that weird-looking white boy where he's just always yelling and just saying, dude, it's it's it's a funny. His com his comedy is really like off the wall.

SPEAKER_01:

I think I've seen it. I know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_03:

His comedy's really off the wall, dude, but like some of it's pretty like he's such an idiot, dude, but it's so good. You should leave it. You have to watch, you have to watch Friendship. It's it's got uh Paul, I think, I think that's what's called Friendship. It's got Paul Rudd. It's a good and now he's got another one coming out called The Chair Company on HBO.

SPEAKER_01:

The Chair Company.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah. Never heard of it. I mean, he's his his humor is like just really far-fetched. Like what the hell is this guy thinking or smoking when he came up with this shit?

SPEAKER_01:

Did you uh I don't know if it's the sh if it's the same show, but there was this uh I think it's the same show where this guy goes into a room and it's a couple of people in there, and one of them had to be this lady, and he asks, Is there a black person here? And when he says it all in one, it sounds different. And you know, they're arguing back and forth with him, and they ask him, you know, there's some white people in here too. He's like, Oh no, I don't need one of those. I'm looking for a black person. And and but when he says This guy, the white guy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He goes, Is there a black person here? And you know, it sounds like something else, but then they're like, What are you what are you trying to assume? He's like, Oh no, it's just that Janet had told me that there was a black person here, and they're like, What are you talking about? So before the lady comes up to him to confront him, he's like, Oh, there it is. He finds a black purse, and she's like, Yeah, I was looking for a black purse. But when you say it all together, is there a black person here? You know what I mean? Is there a black purse in here? But when you say, Yeah, when you say it's super fast, it sounds like you're asking, you know. So when the lady got up to confront him, he saw the black purse was laying on the ground and he picked it up. So I think that was the same show. And like the the what you call it, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

It is funny, like the way it's yeah, the way he acts in his his face, dude. His face is but believe me, just watch it. I would punch him, dude. He's got a punchable face for sure.

SPEAKER_00:

He does. He got a punchable face, dude.

SPEAKER_01:

Like a straight, I'll punch him, dude. He's probably a good guy, too. Poor guy, he's probably a good guy. But I would punch him, dude. I don't know the actor's name if he's listening.

SPEAKER_03:

It's funny, it's he he kind of looks like he might have been a skinhead when he was at his younger age, bro. Alright, I'm not I'm not saying nothing. You can tell, dude. You can tell those white boys that you know at one point in their life were part of a uh white supremacist group.

SPEAKER_01:

I don't know if it's his haircut. It's a lot of things. It's a lot of things, brother. Or maybe it's just his skin color.

SPEAKER_03:

Who knows?

SPEAKER_01:

Hey, we don't want to get canceled here.

SPEAKER_03:

No, but uh, shout out to my boy Tim Rams. He's actually a really funny guy, even though he's got a punchable face.

SPEAKER_01:

He better be a funny guy because he got a punchable face, so he better make me laugh so I don't punch him. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03:

Yo, a lot of people that that showed Detroit was really good too, man. He's hilarious as fuck, bro. He's hilarious as fuck.

You know? Blue moons will creep up on you for sure.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I'm noticing.

SPEAKER_01:

Blue moons are smooth, vanilla taste, kind of creamy. And um, we're trying them at the bottom. We're not trying them in a pint. So I don't know when you pour them on a pint how how it looks or how tasty.

SPEAKER_03:

It does, it does create a uh decent foam too, a decent head. It does give you a pretty good head too. It gives pretty good head. Just like Guinness, that's why they're they're up there in the well Guinness is my number 10, my number 11, no matter what, actually, to be honest with you. But you know.

SPEAKER_01:

Top five.

SPEAKER_03:

SPEAKER_03:

Guinness, arrogant bastard, and coronas.

SPEAKER_01:

Modellos. Maybe an IPA. Definitely blue moon.

SPEAKER_03:

An IPA?

SPEAKER_01:

Like what kind of an IPA? You know there's so many IPAs out there, bro. So many IPAs. A little hazy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Not too because some of these IPAs, bro, they're super thick. They got that thick ass taste, like you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03:

It's it's hoppy. It's a hoppy taste. It's cause you're tasting the hops.

SPEAKER_01:

Straight up. And the barley. The thing about IPAs is that I like I like beers that are strong. I don't want to sit there and drink six beers.

SPEAKER_03:

I like beers that that taste like I'm chewing on a fucking on a bud, bro. You know what I mean? And that's any IPA, really. You know, it's just you just big hops. You just rip the the the the nug off of the plant and just stuck it in your mouth and just start chewing. That's all I like my.

SPEAKER_01:

Usually we uh pack them, but you know, uh tasting a nug is good.

SPEAKER_03:

But no, yeah, IPAs do taste like you're chewing on a big ass nug, dude. That's what they taste like to me. Oh, most definitely, most definitely.

SPEAKER_01:

And um, you're not lying there. You're not lying there. I just like those hazy IPAs, they're a little bit more smoother.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah, they're not as strong. They're not as bitter.

SPEAKER_01:

Right, some of them leave that aftertaste.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01:

But the thing about IPAs, like I was saying, they are a little bit more up there in percentage of you know, you know, something I've uh I've always been interested in doing too is uh brewing my own beer. You know, it's it doesn't look easy, no, but it does look like a good craft, like something to learn, something it's it almost seems like therapy.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, you never know when the apocalypse apocalypse can hit us.

SPEAKER_01:

You're gonna need beer.

SPEAKER_03:

No more beer, bro.

SPEAKER_01:

Nah, you gotta need beer. You could apocalypse so many, you know. If the apocalypse is, I think the two most important things, well, three, is beer, bud, and water. And obviously food. Maybe so let's and then you know, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

So those guys that in in in the pan that were making uh what is that, Pruno? Pruno wine? Yeah, pruno wine. That shit's ass, dude. They throw it in the toilet. Apocalypse comes in, like, alright, it's my time to shine. No more beer, no more alcohol, no more wine. Time for me to make some money.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I mean, look at the prohibition days. I mean, isn't that what they did? They threw them in a tub, dirty ass tub that your wife just got out of, and they made beer. Nobody wants that. Pubic hair in your beer. You know?

SPEAKER_03:

Dude, I mean, toilet wine, bro. Come on, dude. You your toilet, you make the shit. I'm not drinking, I'm not drinking nothing that comes out of a toilet, dude.

SPEAKER_01:

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, you're not drinking this shit, dude. I don't care how thirsty I am. I'll die of thirst before I drink some shit out of the toilet, dude. I don't understand how people could do that.

SPEAKER_01:

That's that's no, dude. I don't care how clean that toilet is, I don't care if that toilet's brand new.

SPEAKER_03:

Or even smoking any sort of drugs in prison. You know how those fucking drugs got in there. Through the culo. Exactly, dude.

SPEAKER_01:

And I'm not smoking no dookies. No, dude. You gotta do it now. You got you have to be down bad, or you have to be such a fiend to be willing to, and I'm not knocking nobody, right? Everybody to themselves.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, I know quite a few fiends. I used to know quite a few fiends, I should say.

SPEAKER_01:

Like to smoke something that came out of somebody's dookie booty? No, dude. That shit smells like ass when you burned it, probably.

SPEAKER_03:

Hey bro, holds a hole, bro.

SPEAKER_01:

I can't, dude. You I can't. I don't understand how like, and I'm not saying it's good to go to jail, but I'm not saying I'm just saying, dude, if you're if you're if you have to do a bid, you might as well read, work out, stay clean, and you know what are you doing and they're gonna get high, wasting your time, not even learning, not reading. But hey, like I said, I never been to the pen, so I don't know how it is, and I pray to God I never a lot of those guys know that they're just gonna end up coming back, so what's the whole point of stop? You know, that's the thing, everybody has different mentality. So if your mentality is that it's like a it's like a free trip to you, then that's cool.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, and no, I know a few people that are criminal, that are career criminals basically. It's what it is, is they're into institutionalized. They're institutionalized, bro.

SPEAKER_01:

They've been they've been there so many times since they were young. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03:

They they don't know how to function out here.

SPEAKER_01:

They don't, you know, and and it sucks because life's a beautiful place, life's a beautiful thing. There's so much to experience.

SPEAKER_03:

SPEAKER_01:

We're already at war, but it's not the war that people think. We're not fighting wars of uh guns and drugs and stuff. We're fighting more of a cyber war, yeah more of a sneaky war, you know, spy versus spy type of war. They want your dirty laundry, and I got a lot of it, so they better clean that shit.

Yeah, well, it's the same thing, it's just a bag though you put your cell phone in and it's lined with aluminum full or it's some sort of metallic thing that's supposed to keep uh keep noise from picking up noise or any sort of transmissions or anything coming through. I'll tell you something until you take it out. Not even a signal goes through into that thing until you take it out.

You you I mean Wiccans out in the bars almost fucking every other woman I meet at the bars, and I'm lying, I don't go to bars. But in Colorado though, literally in Colorado, almost every other girl you talk to is a Wiccan, bro. He's a Wiccan. I'm telling you. Never once have I met her, have uh heard a dude be like, oh yeah, I'm a warlock. Because that's that's the male equivalent of a Wiccan is a warlock.

They'll fucking I've never met a dude that's like about all that wicked mystical mysticism bullshit. You gotta go to one of those medieval time events then.

SPEAKER_01:

You'll meet a lot of those.

And and if you do meet a dude that's that will say that, it's only because they're next to their wicked girlfriend who just who just came out and said they're wicked.

SPEAKER_01:

Trust me, I could tell she's wicked. Just by the look in her eyes.

SPEAKER_03:

He got it. That's all I'm saying, is that it seems to me like women are they're females are the ones that are more into the whole, oh, let's fucking get naked and in the middle of the woods and fucking get a bonfire and dance around a bonfire and fucking slaughter a goat and smear the blood all over ourselves and start singing some crazy bullshit.

SPEAKER_00:

SPEAKER_03:

Neither am I, neither am I. No, I'm not gonna drop kicker. I'm not with that shit. I'm I'm with the women. Uh I'm all about getting up in them women, but I'm not about getting all up in that bullshit.

SPEAKER_01:

You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? I'm not I'm not with the witchcraft. I'm not, but I know I hear you. Most of the time when you when they play stories, even in Disney, half the most nine times out of ten, the women are the witches. You think about you think about the Disney movies, you think about all types of movies, and nine times out of ten, it's the women that are being played as witches or whatnot. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03:

I do know what you mean, brother. I do know what you mean. Where we at? Looks like we got we're seven minutes away from an hour and a half, buddy. What are you thinking? What are you thinking we should do? You think we should keep it going or just get ready to wind it up?

SPEAKER_01:

If I'm being honest, I'm thinking we should go hit up a bar. Yeah. And I got you on a beer or two. Just two beers. But that's up to you. I really do want to go out and step out.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I mean, that's fine.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm I'm more than willing to buy us. I'm not trying to do nothing crazy just to stop by and have a beer or two.

SPEAKER_03:

All right. You know, but um I yeah, I I could I could do that.

SPEAKER_01:

Nothing crazy. I do I you know, maybe just a beer, hang out, beer or two. I'm like I said, I don't like being out too late. Probably be back by like 10.

SPEAKER_03:

Sounds good, sounds good. Where are you thinking about going? Since we're on the podcast, we might as well.

SPEAKER_01:

I did see this spot. It's called I'm gonna look up. I like so me, I like to look up three spots. I don't like to make it complicated. I like to look up three good spots that have good reviews, and from there, I kind of fly my dad. Okay, you know, I'm not trying to get I'm not trying to get in. Okay, I'm not trying to get no. You know, but that's my opinion. I'm not sure. Ten minutes, do you ready? No, no, no, I still have to go home and change myself. So let's go early and then we would just go over there if you would. Okay, so how do you want to do this? You do you get ready? How do you want to get me or no? When you're done getting it, I don't know if you want to do this. Yeah, if you wanna if uh you if you want I could go get ready and come back to you or if you if you don't care, just get ready and then you would just go to my face. I I literally just gotta change my just a few things and I'm like two minutes now.

SPEAKER_03:

So when you come up this way are we gonna be any of the bone or we need heading this way? Okay, wait, wait, let's go back that way. Give me like ten minutes to give any whatever we take up.

SPEAKER_01:

Like I said, just just just to have a beer. Yeah, no, no, no, just just to have a beer, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

If you don't mind me taking better than like I said, I can I can I go change it from that. If you don't mind doing that too, if we'll just go, please do that too.

SPEAKER_01:

But everybody here that showed us tuning in. If you're tuning in and going out, whatever you do, please take it. Yeah, yeah, please.

SPEAKER_03:

Hollow us uh that's next weekend is supposed to be Halloween. Yeah, next weekend will be the next party. Alright, so yeah, I mean we get it that it's uh the Halloween yeah, but some of us want to go out there and get dressed up. I know that there was a uh Halloween party downstairs fire today, so you know for those of you out there going out and yeah, wickedy wild, uh just be careful. You know, give yourself at least maybe drink some water after you last week and give yourself an hour and a half.

SPEAKER_01:

You're better off taking an overall cost uh people know where it's too expensive. Are you willing to pay for that DUI? That'll be more expensive. The lawyer fees, uh the time you're gonna spend in there. Dude, a hundred bucks is nothing to get there back. You know what I mean? But if you just had whatever and you feel good enough, something cool.

SPEAKER_03:

But uh you know, if you can't afford any of that stuff, then maybe you should take that anyway. Stay home and have a six-pack. Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_01:

You know what I mean? And like I said, I'm not trying to step out and do nothing crazy, but just to hit up a pub. Just to hit up a random pub, have a few beers, and chill out and done with that. I'm not trying to stay out too late either, you know?

SPEAKER_03:

But um, that's that's the downside of going to sleep early, bro. Like I thought it was like 11 or 12.

SPEAKER_01:

That's what I'm saying. Let's go out and just have a beer.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, no, that's yeah, that sounds good. Sounds good. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, no, yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_01:

I I doubt 10 30.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah. But yeah, yeah, I'm done. Yeah. So you wanna wrap her up then?

SPEAKER_01:
