S5-E29, Ever wondered if a honey-infused beer can transform your BBQ experience? Join us for an exhilarating beer-tasting session featuring North High Brewing Company's 12 Palestines Alsatian Pilsner and Hop Frog's Smashing Honey Blonde. We share our surprising flavor discoveries and brainstorm ways to incorporate the honey sweetness into outdoor cooking, from succulent ribs to delicious beer can chicken. Alongside our tasting adventure, we recount our recent escapades with a major storm, bringing a mix of weather woes and humorous survival tales.
Imagine a street food adventure that takes you to the heart of Egypt. We'll share our peculiar experience with a unique dish of hamburger meat around a stick, cooked with spices and crowned with an egg and cream sauce akin to country-style sausage gravy. The conversation then shifts gears to our chaotic travel story from Manchester to Akron via Washington, filled with delays, missed connections, and long waits. We promise you'll find our misadventures both relatable and laugh-out-loud funny, especially if you've ever faced the unpredictability of air travel.
Trivia enthusiasts, get ready for some fun! We tackle quirky questions from hummingbird wing beats to the gas composition of farts, wrapped in playful banter and laughter. Our talk navigates through beer preferences, the historical distinctions between pubs and taverns, and the Cleveland Browns' stadium plans, sparking a spirited debate on outdoor versus indoor stadiums. Whether reminiscing about classic tailgating or sharing humorous anecdotes about malfunctioning phones, this episode is a rollercoaster of engaging conversations and light-hearted fun.

Thank you, welcome to another reason drink podcast. And uh, you're here with the special, special people your host princess and my co podcaster, rick yes D-R, also known as. D-r. Rick, Whatever. Anyways, I try to bring some excitement into that.
Speaker 1But I'm successful, you're very successful, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2So we got two cool last ones here, all right, and we're going to start off with the North High Brewing Company. It's called 12 Pallians and what do you? How do you say that it's 12?
Speaker 3Palestines, palestines, I'm sorry. Yeah, and Al, or what was it? Alsatian? Alsatian Pilsner. Alsatian Pilsner.
Speaker 2It's like a French.
Speaker 3Yeah, we're not sure if it's a the hops they use or what. We've been trying to read up on it and trying to figure it out. But we're so smart we can't.
Speaker 2No, and this comes out of Columbus, Ohio, and it's 5.4 ABV.
Speaker 3North High. We've had many of North High.
Speaker 2For sure the beer wench is going to put them in the fridge because we're going to do that one second. And then we got Hop frogs smashing honey blonde, which this one's 5.2 and uh I forgot where they were located akron.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I'm looking forward to doing this one.
Speaker 2You know it's been, it's been in there a couple days, but it actually says world beer cup on that, you see I seen that.
Speaker 3And then it also says a crisp and refreshing with a splash of honey so this is gonna be some awesome flavor let's give it a shot.
Speaker 2Right, it's got special flavor in it, special, special. Give you a shot, yuck come out like honey.
Speaker 3Come out like honey just dripping, yeah, all sticky oh, winnie the poobie running right up there actually, um, it smells good and it is wonderful. That is very it's kind of sweet it is kind of sweet and there's a taste it almost tastes like uh uh.
Speaker 2When it tastes like a candy, yeah, candy uh. What are them? Them uh the corn things. Oh uh, candy corn, candy corn. Doesn't it taste like a candy corn?
Speaker 3a little bit yeah a little bit. It changes, wasn't sure if it was a candy corn or? Uh, like them hearts on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2Like the chalky ones.
Speaker 3Yeah, kind of like a chalky one, but yeah, no, that's not it either. There's something there. It's definitely a candy. Yeah, it's the honey, it's definitely a candy.
Speaker 2It's pretty good.
Speaker 3I got the same thing first drink, yeah, and I can taste it on the back end, that sweetness, yeah, it has a nice back end to it yeah, I know, yeah, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2Well, I wonder if you could cook in this dude.
Speaker 1Oh, like some ribs or something, yeah, or like a pork or something.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, In this. I can see that, like boiling down a fucking like it in a crock pot with this, with a pork, it would give it that real sweet taste to it.
Speaker 2What about them? Chicken beer, chickens, oh beer, yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, that could work too, Make it a little sweeter with a hot barbecue sauce. Ooh.
Speaker 2That's down good. I looked that up the other day, how to make one of them again. You know they make them little stands that go in your um the chicken, whatever it fits, but basically where it comes from is the can right, but they make a stand where you put the can in and then you put the chicken. I've never done it, dude like like I've been watching that.
Speaker 3We went through this last weekend, last week, uh just that barbecue yeah, that barbecue show and like I'm just like. You know I really need to step my game up, like I like, I just want to, like, I want to try things. You know what I mean, just to give it a whirl and just to see how it is.
Speaker 2You know what I mean well, supposedly the reason they do that beer can't shake it because the beer makes it moist inside, inside yeah, but the outside gets crispy. So it's like which is the both worlds?
Speaker 3the skin gets that crispy, but see, now, you can't just throw it on a fire like that, though, like, like you know what I mean, like I I don't know, I have to research more into it, but like I know, because I'm thinking fire, I like, I like I love working outdoor fire well, I don't think, but you can't I don't think.
Speaker 1I don't think it can go on a fire.
Speaker 3I think it's more of a slow, it's a slow, you gotta shut it up in the ass, yeah yeah well, I mean you gotta close it up, though in a grill or something yeah so you can't just let it sit out there, it's not gonna like a smoker type but it has to get pretty warm.
Speaker 2You know, I went, I went to this one restaurant that made it and then they gave you the can off to the side and then you poured the can out and it had like a buttery herbs to it and you pour that on the chicken and normally you would pour that after you peeled the skin off a little bit and you got all that, whatever.
Speaker 3Yeah it was, yeah it was messy, but it was good.
Speaker 2Yeah, but hell yeah, that was good absolutely so anything exciting happened to you today, I mean this week, I should say steams inside the chicken.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yep. Um, just that, dude. We had that huge storm coming through tuesday you know. So we've been kind of struggling with that. I had an extra couple hours off of work because we had no electric um that, my main route I take to work's been messed up messed up. We closed. Still I, my son, my brother, people at work, they're saying another three, four days before they even get electric that would suck.
Speaker 3Oh, yeah, yeah I mean I was fucking with my buddy on my way home, like when we were leaving. You know, I'm like all right, dude, you have a good night. I'm gonna go home to my air conditioning and wi-fi and I'm gonna play some, play some games.
Speaker 2What are?
Speaker 1you doing tonight? What are you doing, dude?
Speaker 3I got some my beer's so cold in my fridge right now he's like fuck off dude and just stormed to his truck.
Speaker 2Because you know he'd be angry. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's all pissed off. All your shit goes bad in the refrigerator or freezer.
Speaker 3Well, yeah, but he literally stopped at Giant Eagle Tuesday and he was going to do oh yeah, I was all happy for Taco Tuesday and then fucking as soon as he got home. It was just like and he hasn't had any fucking electric sets. He's like, yep, fucking, threw all the lettuce hamburger away. Yeah, he just threw it all over.
Speaker 2It does make it hard, though, like someone that does like where your brother buys a cow or whatever. Right, then you have all that meat.
Speaker 3Got all that meat and you're fucking yeah, you're trying to store it everywhere else. And now you can't like all around Chardon and everything where I'm at, where I work at, like, people are running on generators and there is no ice. Oh yeah, there is no way.
Speaker 2everybody's already bought up all the fucking ice and the people that two counties around half the people that have ice are already it.
Speaker 3You can just see water running out, the ice thing, because there's no electric there's nothing anymore.
Speaker 2The uh, the whole town was. Uh had a bunch of uh water. I seen pictures.
Speaker 3It was all flooded and everything you know right, yeah and that, and you know that's the thing too. But you know he has a traeger. Yeah, gotta have electric for it. Uh, yeah. So I told him I was like go to the dollar store, dude, get one of cheap ass fucking barbecue grills. Yeah you know at least yeah, with charcoal at least you could fucking cook. You can still cook, no food you could still cook.
Speaker 2I've seen neighborhoods, when they have power, go out. Everybody gets out there and they have a huge barbecue Barbecue. Yeah, it's like, hey, we're eating it all. Gotta eat it up.
Speaker 3Eat it up or fucking throw it away One of the two. I mean you got some good steaks. Make a fire, dude.
Speaker 1Yeah, you know go outside and make a fire. Put it on a stick. Yeah, put it on a stick.
Speaker 3Literally. I just seen a guy fucking like doing a hamburger I forget what it was called, it was some kind of Egyptian thing and they actually take hamburger ground hamburger and they fucking pack it around a stick and cook it on it. Oh really, oh really, and it's. I forget what he called it, though. I mean it had egg in it whatever, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3Different spices, but it was an Egyptian meal that they have over there, for it was his. They were doing a street competition like street foods and that was one of his that he made and he just literally packed hamburger around a fucking stick Did he win.
Speaker 2No, no, okay, no, but, no, no, okay, no, but it probably doesn't look good.
Speaker 3It probably looks like it really doesn't look good, but you know, I was just like it looks like a shit yeah a big old turd behind a stick but, did he put it in like gravy or something like that? It was like a white cream sauce like a.
Speaker 2What do you call that sausage and gravy sauce?
Speaker 3yeah it was like yeah, it was like a fucking country style sausage with corn in it, corn nasty good yeah anyways.
Speaker 2Uh, so that was your week. So when you were dealing with the storm over here, I was trying to travel, right, and let me tell you that the travel day I had this is exciting. This is what the show is about. We just talk about different things, like BS, but so I fly out of Manchester. We're on time Flying to Washington, right, which was cool because you fly over, you see, the Capitol House, we flew into Reagan and then all of a sudden we get in there. We're sitting on the tar tarmac director right an hour and 25 minutes just sitting there, waiting for our gate to clear, right, because of the storm or no, they're just waiting oh well they blame it on the storm, like a storm elsewhere, so the plane couldn't take off.
Speaker 2Oh, so it was occupied right so our plane was leaving and I was traveling with another co-worker. Our plane was leaving in about 30 minutes, so it landed and then went. I mean, when we landed, we're sitting there so that one takes off. Okay, we missed our flight, connecting flight, right, so we get in there. And then they're like okay, you have to go down to the thing.
Speaker 3We go down there, you're in a line okay of everybody else.
Speaker 2I missed that long ass line yeah so we were there like maybe an hour, maybe an hour and a half, waiting in this line. We get up there, they go okay, that was so. It must not been weather related. Because they said, okay, you got two choices. You can fly out tonight and get a flight to cleveland because we're supposed to go into akron. They say you could go to cle, cleveland and then we'll pay for a taxi to take you from Cleveland to Akron. Or you can wait until tomorrow night at 752 and take the next flight out of here to Akron and we're like, damn, a whole nother day here. Well, we'll put you in a hotel and everything. And I'm like let's go ahead and do the Cleveland and then get the taxi ride down. Okay, puts it in. Here's your $12 voucher for food. Right, that gets you like a Twinkie.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, you can't use it. It probably won't even get you. You probably can't use it for alcohol.
Speaker 2No, no alcohol, Right, no PF Chang's or no Starbucks. So we go out there, we go and get a meal. We go to chick-fil-a so we had to add like a buck something to it. Okay, you know, just a meal was over like 13, 14 bucks. So we get it, we're happy, we ate. We're waiting, waiting, waiting, wait. Now we landed, probably seven ish. This flight wasn't taken off until 10, almost 11, right, we get all the way to the end the whole time. Uh, we're waiting for, um, our crews. They'll be here shortly and then we'll get loaded up here and be on our way 30 minutes past. Uh, we got one crew member. We're waiting for two more. Once they get here, we'll be able to pack up and go away.
Speaker 3Are you on the plane right now? No, we're waiting.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah and then it gets closer and then they're like um, well, we got, we're just waiting for one more, and she has to fly in from philly. So when she gets here, we're gonna, she's gonna get on and we're gonna take off.
Speaker 3Now remind you, we're getting close to when this thing's supposed to land right at the next in cleveland, you guys should just took the hotel right and fucking party, yeah, or?
Speaker 2we just should have drove home. Woke up the next morning, drove home right, quicker, right. So anyway, the thing about the take in the next day over I forgot to add this is she said that most likely that one would get canceled too. Oh, and I was like well fuck then you're waiting another day.
Speaker 3Just give me a car, we'll correct.
Speaker 2Yeah, we're eight hours away from random, honestly it was about eight, yeah, eight and a half, and then it gets all the way to the end and me and him are sitting there and he looks up. He's like shit, it just got canceled. I said, really, he jumps up, he says quick to the counter, to the counter, and everybody else was like getting up running to the counter, to the counter. And everybody else was like getting up running to the counter, because you know that line gets long. Right, we were the first ones up there, lady's like it was canceled due to the weather. Here's your next flight. Do you want to go to Cleveland, cleveland? Right, cleveland, seven. Yep, here you go.
Speaker 2I said, well, what happened to hotel? Because now you're talking seven in the morning, right, yeah, I was like what happened to the hotel and the taxi ride and all that? Nope, it's because of weather. And I'm like, wait a minute, just two hours ago you put me on this flight, give me the world. Now he's saying it's weather related and I don't give jack and I'm forced to stay here. Yeah, that's it. And they were doing everybody like that. I was like, oh hell, no, so we, we got out of that, we walk around. And then we seen another counter saying you know I was like he got. I said let's go ask him because we need to get our bags right, you know. So I feel bad for the people that I was on work, they would have covered it, but people that aren't on work and have to cover their own.
Speaker 3Washington dc uh hotel, hotel and everything, yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, it ain't cheap, right? So he's going in. I said you know what you? I said wait in line and check on our bags, right. By the way, he spent an hour and 20 minutes in that line, jesus, yeah. And I got on my phone. I called a lady. I was like, hey, how's this? Boom, I got us a taxi, a hotel room for each one of us and a taxi back and then we fly out, right? Oh, and to remind you, when she said we were flying to Cleveland the next day, that that taxi that takes us from Cleveland wasn't any good anymore.
Speaker 2I'm like what? Why is it any good You're flying me there? Because yeah. So anyways, long story short, I got that too. So he comes out of there, we get it all. We get all hooked up, we get up there. The lady's confirming everything, Boom, we go. Now. I remind you, this is at 12 at midnight. Now we got to be at the airport. The taxi picks us up at 5. So we got to get up at 4. So by the time we get there, we had three and a half hours of sleep. Three and a half hours of sleep you might as well have just slept in the fucking chairs.
Speaker 2Yeah. So three and a half hours of sleep. We ain't got no clothes because we can't get our bags. They say you can't get your bags. Our bags had a nice trip. They made it all the way there waiting for us. We should just roll with the bags and then we're like, okay. So then we go to the hotel and then you're waiting in line there. You know, a little bit it was a small line, but right, he was quick.
Speaker 2We got out of there, get up, get three and a half hours sleep. We get back into the cab. Cab takes us back over once again. You're in line, tsa, right back through the gate, back through the things you know, and then we go. He's like I said you want to get a cup of coffee? Yeah, let's get a cup of coffee. Go get a cup of coffee. Line there, and it was one lady working it. Oh, my good lord, we're in lines all damn day to day. So, anyways, finally get that. We get something to eat. We finally get on the plane. Then we take the plane all the way over. Now there's our bags wait for us. We didn't have to wait for them, but when we got to cleveland we couldn't get off the plane because they lost power the night before yeah.
Speaker 2so we're sitting on the plane and they can't authorize us to walk down the steps and go up the steps on the other side until someone came there. So we're just all sitting there waiting, you know, the whole time. You know my ass is prairie dog in that I got to take a shit.
Speaker 1Yeah, you know, I'm like holy, you know anyways.
Speaker 2So finally they got power and we got off and everything. I'm like damn. And then the car ride home. Then we had to get in our cars and I had to go to work. I was so whooped and so tired.
Speaker 3Yeah, it sounds like a long-ass day.
Speaker 2Yeah, well, it gets even better it gets better. So I got to go to a doctor's appointment, right. So I'm like get out of there. I have to be at a doctor's at 3.30. So I leave at 3, a little bit like 10 till 3. I get there, it's quarter, it's 3.15. I waited two hours. I just got up and left. Why the hell did you have to wait?
Speaker 2my appointment was 3 30 and you waited till 5 30 I waited till 5, 15 and I was like fuck this, I just got up and why were they all backed up from the electric from the day before?
Speaker 3yeah, I don't know, or whatever.
Speaker 2Maybe I mean, but you know they could text me because I had to get out of a meeting. Excuse myself out of a meeting to go there, you go there, right Right. And then I'm sitting there for two hours. They text you for everything else, hey yeah, we're running behind. You know, I just thought that was bullshit. Yeah, it is. But the whole funnier thing of this is I had a guy that was traveling, who is good, so I'm sitting up there in first class and then he's in the back right and he said someone just lit their ass up back here.
Speaker 2He's like dude, it's so terrible, we need to get the fuck off this plane, you know. And then he's like, oh my gosh. And then he's like someone's got bad BO, they need to kick back on the air on this thing.
Speaker 3It's all cycling through, it's all cycled air. You don't know where that fart came from.
Speaker 2It's just no, I think they turned it off. You know you don't get it. And then I'm up here and I'm like it smells like roses. The lady put up a little coffee packet, like up in the first class. She put a little coffee thing, you know, and you could smell nothing but the coffee grounds and he's back there, billy's just blowing ass and fucking the thing Just going in the back.
Speaker 3Yeah, Fuck you peasants.
Speaker 2He's saying that, and you know what he commented, though he said this smells not as bad as that burp he did the other day. And then I was thinking of me and my brother at twins day, and then, uh, bobby always said what are you burping? Don't burp, you know right. I was like when you take them, uh, what do they call it? Um, I can't think of the, the vitamin the fish oil, fish oil pills and stuff.

Speaker 2I said was that asthma, the asthma was better?
Speaker 1You compare it to that I said was that asthma, the asthma was better? You compare it to that I could handle the asthma.
Speaker 2That burp was terrible and then it just made me think of that. Them pills make me burp, like you drink a beer, right right, and I try to turn away. But I know we're sitting next to people and I was like burp and them ladies are like burp.

Speaker 3That ain't funny. Okay, rate your beer. Dude. For a blonde, I'm going to rate it as a blonde. That's what it is. Of course I like my blondes and I do like this. It does have a funny sweet taste at first, but it does go away.
Speaker 2It does go away, yeah.
Speaker 3It goes away, but you get a candy. You get a candy. Yeah, it's a candy taste and it's not overpowering at all. No, it's just sweet. I'm going to go in eight, eight, I'm going to go in eight for blondes.

Speaker 2It's pretty tasty. Is it a trust me?
Speaker 3I would say it is a trust me. It's a trust me You'll like it, like, I think, anybody, especially somebody who has a little bit of a sweet tooth you know what I mean. Like, because it's not a dessert beer in any means. It's not a dessert beer, but if you like a blonde with a little bit, of a sweetness. Is that fish? Yeah, you smell fish. Is that taco?
Speaker 2Fish, taco is that fish?
Speaker 3yeah, you smell fish taco fish taco, I did not purpose to add to the show. Uh, we go ahead. I would say if you like a little bit of a sweetness and a blonde at the same time, you would love this beer the alcohol taste is real low.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, yeah, it's smooth I mean hopping frog.
Speaker 3yeah, we've rated them high every time we've ever had them. The key lime pie we've done from them and everything We've done a lot of Hoppin' Frogs.
Speaker 2We stopped at a bar a couple days ago and I had a red and the guy was traveling with me. He's not really a beer drinker per se, but he follows the show he knows. And then he was like, oh, is that Princess Approved? And I said, oh, the one I'm getting, yeah, you like it. And he's like kind of him and all. And the guy's like what would you like to drink? He's like, oh, yeah, I'll go ahead and have what he's had. And then he drank. He's like, oh, that is good.
Speaker 3It was red.
Speaker 2I'll have to look it up. I don't remember it wasn't Smithways like I don't think you're going to like that one. He's like why? I said cause that's going to be a darker and it's going to have more bite. I said that the chocolate coffee flavor come from the stoutness of it. Right, you know, yeah, and he was like so the guy said well, I could give you a little pour. And he got it Right and it was probably about an inch high, yeah, and he barely went and he was like, oh, you're right, he goes, you want to try it? And I said yeah, let me try it. And I was like no, I said it actually was a good beer, but he's princess taste, not at that level.
Speaker 3Look, I have to say it that he listens to the show even though he might have just started, whatever. Yeah, but we've been doing this for a long time.

Speaker 2pilsner yeah, but honestly that first sip wasn't bad yeah it really wasn't like I'm not gonna lie, that's not a bad sip, no but when you normally get into it a little bit, they do get better. Let's say you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's going to take a minute. It's going to take me a minute.
Speaker 2So hey, I was going to ask you, you know, experiencing, do you like pubs or taverns?
Speaker 3So I'm not a huge bar fan but I love when we go on vacation and find these little holes in the walls, the little pubs, the pubs. The little pubs are always so cool, yeah, and then you get a hillbilly tavern kind of you know what I mean. You get just our local tavern and it'll say tavern, but then it is a different environment from when you go from a pub to a tavern. Yeah, is a different environment from when you go from a pub to a tavern. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3I mean, I've been in some pubs that are just all wood, low ceilings, just beautiful cool wood quiet you know just quiet every and real dark, but then you get into a tavern and you got your karaoke and everything else going on. It's kind of weird you know what?
Speaker 1what I?
Speaker 3mean, yeah, it's so different and I've never known what the difference between the two are actually.
Speaker 2Well, I can help you out with that a little bit. So pubs are typically English, okay. Taverns are European or Europe based English. I mean England and Europe, okay, so that's the difference. Now, the primary focus on a pub is that they serve alcohol beverages. One thing about a tavern they serve alcohol beverages and they provide lodging. At one time. That's probably why they were a tavern.
Speaker 3At one time they were a tavern.
Speaker 2I don't really see many taverns that have Not anymore.
Speaker 3Maybe at one time, at one time, at one time when it's still hoarse. You know what I mean you get drunk and you get a bed so atmosphere is often lively and social at pubs.
Speaker 2I see that very social on the social side.
Speaker 3I can see that.
Speaker 2I see that at the tavern now too, though yeah, they say it can vary, but often cozy and traditional at the pub up the at the tavern. The pub is often lively and social see now, I would almost swap that I could see how, but that's because we mostly just have what Taverns yeah.
Speaker 3Which are just lively and whatever. And then when I go out of town and go to a pub, it's normally quiet. It's normally quiet, quaint, and just you know people are just there having drinks bullshitting. Yeah, you're bullshitting with your neighbor, but you're not, woohoo. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2You're woohoo. Yeah, you know what I mean. You're just bullshitting. Having a couple beers, yeah. So they say the food over uh varies, but it's often include at a pub is pub style dishes. I get that because we stopped at the irish pub and it was like shepherd's pie right, yeah, yeah, I see that I see that and at taverns it varies, varies, but it also includes traditional Chicken wings.
Speaker 3Chicken wings, fried foods, Fambers, whatever yeah. Fried bullshit, whatever yeah.
Speaker 2And then the entertainment at the pubs is they might have live music or sports screens.
Speaker 3Mm. Yeah, well, see now a lot of the pubs that I've been to and like I'm talking about, like Savannah, maine, or yeah, up in Maine and shit like that Honestly they didn't have the sports, they didn't have the sports TV.
Speaker 2See, I went to one and they they were having the, the football, the soccer, okay, yeah, so the foosball, yeah, the foosball, foosball. Okay, they have foosball over it, yeah, and they were all on the tvs, but it was just basically in one area, you know by the bar. The rest of the place was the traditional pub. Okay, I, I see that. But and then they said entertainment at um taverns is normally live music or performances which, okay, would performances, I would say would be Yep, you know what?
Speaker 2I mean, you hit that area yeah you hit it.
Speaker 3You know what I mean, so I could see that yeah.
Speaker 2And then historical significance. They said pubs are deeply rooted in British culture, which most pubs I go to have kind of like that Irish or British.
Speaker 3That's what I was going to say. I would think it would be more of an Irish thing. For some reason you just hear pub To me in my head. I go Irish.
Speaker 1I go Irish, I go Irish.
Speaker 3Scotland. Oh yeah, I want to go to a Scotland pub. You know what I mean, but yeah, but I guess it would be more yeah that deeper culture, yeah.
Speaker 2And then they said historically the taverns are significant across Europe.
Speaker 3So you know, and I wonder I'm sure in Europe it's completely different they're taverns. You know what I mean. Like in the States, we're just stealing their names. Yeah, you know what I mean. If you got dark wood, then you're a pub. If you got fucking lights and everything, then you're a tavern Karaoke.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, you're a pub. If you got fucking lights and everything, then you're a karaoke. Yeah, yeah, you're a tavern you know what I mean we do have a lot of taverns around but they don't have rooms, but they're just called taverns they're just called taverns, that's yeah. So it is typically just your bar food too, yeah yeah, so anyways, I mean it is pretty cool, but no, it's interesting but pubs are are typically known as um, often a cozy and rustic feeling with wood beams, fireplace, traditional furnishings.
Speaker 3Yeah, I can see that for sure.
Speaker 2And taverns. On the other hand, they're more a variety of atmosphere during embraced historical or a medieval theme or remnants of the past.
Speaker 3I don't really Well around here, we don't, yeah, we don't get well around here. We don't, yeah, we don't get that around here.
Speaker 2But you know, like just, but yeah, like where you said you go to boston or something like that, or you yeah you go up to like maine and shit like that, where you know the first four colonies or whatever you're gonna see. You actually see more of the pub and the building was probably created in 18, something exactly when they yeah, yeah, it was like the first thing, they pull up the hunter.
Speaker 3Yeah, you know that guy was like he came off the boat. You're like I need a place to drink a beer. I'm gonna build this fucker right now like here we go first building, yeah, first building a pub there you go.
Speaker 3I like that guy I don't care where my kids and wife are sleeping. They can sleep in the tavern, they can sleep with the Indians. You know what I mean? I mean that was one of the first things that honestly probably got built. Yeah, I mean because it was more back then, it was more of a social that was a social place Well, not even a social, but just a gathering place for everybody. That just came across.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3You know, just okay, I need help, I need help over here, and I need help over there, and you go out to the west.
Speaker 2What was it called Saloon? A saloon, yeah, but that was more gambling.
Speaker 3So now, okay, the furthest west I've been is Vegas, which isn't yeah. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1That's still pretty far yeah.
Speaker 3No, I mean, but you don't see the name saloon a lot, not often, nope. So now if you go out in the middle of nowhere, are they called saloons In some cases. You know, what I mean If you go out to a town like ours in the middle of the desert, are they saloons.
Speaker 2They might be a tavern.
Speaker 1You know, because a lot of people traveled from what? The east to the west, well, from the east to the west.
Speaker 3Yeah, they all did and they carried that.
Speaker 2So it was more of the I mean more of the, not California more of the Western.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah, more of the English taste, whatever.
Speaker 2Yeah, but I wonder even where saloon comes from.
Speaker 3But I don't know though, really though. I mean it's still the East Coast just traveled, but they were all roots, yeah, rooted Because it took a minute for us to get out there.
Speaker 2Yeah, they either came from a pub or a tavern and then and then carried over. So who?
Speaker 3called it a saloon. Yeah, who said nope, it's a saloon, it's a saloon.
Speaker 2Well, because the saloon might come from the gambling part of it, and they also had prostitution in most cases.
Speaker 3Oh, they already had that over there too, though.
Speaker 2Well, that's true, but they might have called it a saloon because it was gambling prostitute.
Speaker 3It was just a yeah go like a just a wrap of them all. We're just gonna call them a saloon.
Speaker 2That's what tavern go get your sheep fucking condoms. A tavern was more or less a whorehouse that.
Speaker 3That's what I figured.
Speaker 2I didn't want to say it but yeah, that's what I figured it was just going to be a yeah, we're pub night, not a bed Like no.
Speaker 3We're just here A couple guys jerking each other off.

Speaker 3I believe it. Well, I was thinking girls mostly, because they always got it digging in.
Speaker 2Did you see?
Speaker 1that.
Speaker 3They're just taking as much meat as possible, even when they're eating vegetables. You're just like Don't chew it.
Speaker 2Don't chew, it't chew it that was my thoughts.
Speaker 3But that's just my thoughts. Don't bite it.
Speaker 2That's just the way I think did you see that video where that guy uh, had that other guy on there and he was eating. He's like you sure this hamburger's um vegetarian. He said, yeah, it's good. He's like damn, this is the best hamburger I've had. You know, that tastes so good, it tastes so real. He said, yeah, it's vegan. And he goes dude, it's vegan. He's like that's not the same.
Speaker 1He goes yeah, it is.
Speaker 3And he's like no, Wasn't that a, it was like a TikTok thing. It was on the Office. Oh, is it or not the Office? It was a?
Speaker 2oh, I've seen it on TikTok Parks and Recs. Wasn't it a clip from Parks and Recs? It might have been no, because these guys were like on FaceTime or something.
Speaker 1Oh okay.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2What Zoom? Yeah, oh, okay, I got to be honest, yeah.
Speaker 3Because, like Parks and Recs is like that guy, he's just a huge meat eater because he was sitting there eating. You know how Sam's Club gives you little snacks.
Speaker 2He said it was vegan.
Speaker 3And the kid was like oh, it's vegan bacon, it tastes just like it. And the guy was like can I have one? And he just like it. And the guy was like can I have one? And he just picked it up and threw it right. Oh, I've seen that he's like can I have another? He just kept throwing away. He's like why are you doing that, sir? He's like because I don't want anybody else to have this.
Speaker 2It's ain't bacon, this ain't bacon. So vegan doesn't mean bake. Uh, vegan doesn't mean it's not beef, right.
Speaker 3I don't know what vegan means. Well, let's have our wench look it up. So vegan has to be what Plant-based no. I think no, no, you're not allowed to touch anything animal. Vegan.
Speaker 2I don't know what the actual definition is. Yeah, we'll find out. But you know what? He might not even said vegan.
Speaker 3He might have said grass, no, no, because like you can't vegan, like a full on vegan. Doesn't even eat eggs, right? I don't think, because it comes from an animal.
Speaker 2Let's have it pop up on the screen here.
Speaker 3And then you're not supposed to eat anything from an animal Like you literally go out and chew the grass.
Speaker 2No, you're taking vegetarian. No, I ain't vegan. Um, vegan is uh, oh yeah, contains and pose the least possible harm to non-human animals that we share the earth with. People who live vegan, follow a fully plant based diet oh, veganism it's called, or vegan yeah, you're not allowed to kill anything.
Speaker 3You're not allowed to. Well, maybe, he's.
Speaker 2I think it was beef that he was eating, but it was uh he, I think he threw the word in there like it was. Um, well, so vegans will still eat eggs, but they won't do anything that you kill. But anything that will kill an animal. Yeah, so they won't eat fish, right?
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Oh, I think it was.
Speaker 3I think fish is okay because they don't walk. Oh, I'm just playing Like honestly like fish is okay for vegans, they can eat fish.
Speaker 2I heard, yeah, which?
Speaker 3it doesn't make any sense. You won't kill a chicken to eat the chicken. You eat the egg right, you'll eat the egg just pretty much avoid meats.
Speaker 2You know what I mean? Yeah, but I think he said plant-based in the thing he said. Oh no, he said it wasn't plant-based. I'm sorry, it was grass-fed and he goes dude. Grass-fed just means they eat the grass.
Speaker 3That doesn't mean that the whole thing's fucking cow. Anyway, I did see the video the other day, though the lady was like, oh, never mind okay, and let's just go back to see how smart you are.
Speaker 2Let's see, no, if you're smarter than a I'm not that smart anyways um what? What month is the most common month to diet in? Statistically? January first yeah well, january, yeah, january, yeah, how, because everybody new year is. How do you visually impair? How do visually impaired know their dog has pooped and when it is time to pick it up after them? How does someone that's blind know smell? Oh slippery no this is new guide dogs are trained to poop on command so that the owner can clean it up afterwards. Really, yeah.
Speaker 3So you mean that dog is my dumbass dog this whole time?

Speaker 3Put me in jail, you've seen that guy that. I'm not going to see the trees anymore.

And then this poor little kitty cat comes up and has a little bell on his neck. That's fucking funny. That's funny.
Speaker 3That's funny.
Speaker 2Anyways, that was a video I seen too. They didn't show the cat getting killed, but they implied that could happen. Anyways, that was a video I seen too.
Speaker 3They didn't show the cat getting killed, but they implied that could happen.
Speaker 2Anyways, you want to rate this. What do you think you killed it?
Speaker 1Yeah, it was good, you went quick, it was good this went down a lot smoother than the smashing.
Speaker 3The honey. Yeah, yeah, it was good.

Cleveland Browns Stadium Plans
Speaker 2Oh, I do want. Oh, I forgot something I want to bring up with you. I've seen that the Cleveland Browns are going to start Deshaun Watson in the first preseason.
Speaker 3I hear they're struggling with him, though are going to start.
Speaker 2Deshaun Watson in the first preseason. I hear they're struggling with him, though I know, and they say the reason why they want to start him early is because last year remember they didn't play him at all Right and then he struggled the first game out. And here they want to bring him out because they play Dallas first and they want to be able to start off strong.
Speaker 3I'll be real surprised if Deshaun's still with us by the end of the year.
Speaker 2I could see that I mean I'm surprised they kept him this long right? No, yeah, yeah. But like he's still struggling with his injury, supposedly- oh well, he just does that when he knows yeah, yeah, I'm working too hard. We should have kept Flacco in. Yeah, absolutely Did I'm working too hard.
Speaker 3We should have kept Flacco then, yeah, absolutely Did you see they might have signed. I see now they're leaving Cleveland. They're not leaving Cleveland, oh, the city. They're leaving downtown, yeah, and moving over to Brook Park.
Speaker 2To do that dome Now. Is that closer to us?
Speaker 3No, it's right next to the airport, so it's south, yeah, but if they do what, I've seen the pictures of it's freaking amazing dude.
Speaker 2I mean that's the whole shit. They said they would have. One of the reasons was the infrastructure up there by the lake was tough, which I agree it was challenging around there.
Speaker 3I get it and I also get us having a dome. Yeah, okay, cleveland's gonna do a super bowl, yeah, and it's right next to our airport, yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2So they can just fly everybody in bus, everybody over here you go and, and I agree, I agree with that parking, yeah, parking, yeah. Then they can build a hotel for the uh, what do you call it?
Speaker 3you should have seen the complex. Yeah, I bet I mean it's gonna be years, yeah, but you should have seen the whole complex that they wanted to lay out. It was like literally the stadium with the flats and fourth avenue, like all the way up around, like that's how big it was.
Speaker 2Making it that nice.
Speaker 3Like you know what I mean? No, that's just how big it was, like they're going all the way up to the Jack like, from the stadium to the Jack's Casino, all like that big. I'm giving you that kind of visual Like from there to there, all the way over and back down to the stadium, like they're making it huge, that's going to be nice, but it's going to be billions.
Speaker 2If they do that, that'll be nice.
Speaker 3It would be, but I don't know. I like the old school outside, yeah, and that's what the diehards cleveland browns that let's go.
Speaker 2What is that? The place where we all park? Uh, I can't think of it. The muni lot, muni lot. They're famous.
Speaker 3They do have beers off of it yeah, no, I mean like it's gonna, but we got a new age coming up, definitely yeah you know that we gotta we to put them underneath a roof. Sometimes I ain't going to lie, I want to be under a roof.
Speaker 2Sometimes it's cold and it's nasty.
Speaker 3Look, january 3rd, whatever out in that stadium sucks Freezing your balls off, but isn't that football?
Speaker 2They always fill it don't they Absolutely.
Speaker 3That's what football is. It's packed Hardcore, cold nose. Let's go Watch the game. Even Steelers are the same exact way. They're not moving theirs off the downtown and putting a dome up and putting a dome up or anything like that. And if you want to put a dome, put it up, you could add on, you could do it to the stadium. They said you're paying billions of dollars to build all this. Let's go with this. Yeah, I don't know. I'm impartial.
Speaker 2They said they didn't yet decide yet, but it's between the two.
Speaker 3I heard that they already signed at least one piece of paper saying that it could be going there.
Speaker 2Wouldn't, that would be 2028, though right, I don't even know, would it? Be that quick.
Speaker 3I don't even know if it would be that quick.
Speaker 2I've seen where the contract ends in 2028. Yeah, I'm not sure they can get an extension, so it would be like 2029.
Speaker 3If something's getting built, I'm sure there would be an extension. You know what I mean. They already have that place cleared out.
Speaker 2Well, you think about it. That's still four years away, yeah yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. I hope they can build it within four years. You would think, yeah, but you never know. Anyways, uh, any last thought. Oh, another reason to drink. We still do that. What's your reason? For another reason, um, my reason.
Speaker 3I'll do just my fucking drive to work oh yeah just terrible, in and out whatever it's taking me a half an hour longer than the last couple days. My other one would be it sucks. I wasn't able to play with my brother while you were gone for golf.

Speaker 3Because the guy that we're playing this coming week sucks. He likes to show up whenever the fuck he wants. It's on his time.
Speaker 2We might want to talk about golfing out. So me, um, waiting lines. I I wanted to drink so bad.
Speaker 3That's what we did tuesday we waited in line then I don't want to wait in and and there was no line we just waited for that guy, you know, I mean, you could have been off.
