Another Reason to Drink
I'm a good friend
Remember that perfect summer day when everything tasted better? That's exactly what we captured in this episode when we cracked open a Blueberry Lemon Shandy from Saugatuck Brewing Company. This Michigan-made marvel transported us straight to flavor paradise with its authentic blueberry profile that had us reminiscing about childhood cereals and carefree summer days. Not too sweet, not artificial - just pure, refreshing blueberry goodness that earned our coveted perfect 10 rating.
But summer isn't always sunshine and rainbows, as we learned with our second tasting. The Rocket Pop Sour from High Wire Brewing promised nostalgic popsicle flavors but delivered something closer to melted popsicle water from the bottom of a cooler. With minimal carbonation and an identity crisis that left us questioning what makes a beer truly "sour," this disappointing 5/10 experience proved that creative concepts don't always translate to satisfying sips.
Between tastings, we swap stories about weekend golfing adventures, camping mishaps, and the peculiar behavior of aging dogs with digestive issues. Our "Ricky's Bad Choices" segment ventures into morally questionable territory with questions about sleeping in empty graves for cash and whether we'd crush children's Santa dreams for money. We also bond over our shared hatred of extended warranty phone scams and reminisce about the friend dynamics of bar-hopping in our younger days.
Whether you're seeking your next favorite summer beer or just want to hang with friends who tell it like it is, this episode delivers honest reviews, genuine laughs, and the occasional cautionary tale about what happens when your beer tastes like glue. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us about your favorite summer brews – we're always thirsty for recommendations!

Speaker 3:I'm your hostess with the mostest princess and my sidekick in the whole area in the whole area In the whole area, in the whole area of Ohio, ohio In this house, in this house yo.
Speaker 2:DR's in the house. Yo, yo, yo Yo. And we got a special night. We got this one I picked up. It's called Rocket Pop Sour, it's out of High Wire Brewing Company and they're located in Asheville, north Carolina, and they come in with a solid 4.6. So we're going to do that on the second half. No, that's not too bad. No, rick's doing what did you bring to the table? I?
Speaker 3:don't know, I'm trying hold on, I got just a hair, don't break it.
Speaker 2:I'm trying not to fucking break it, you already broke one, I know.
Speaker 3:So I am doing a blueberry lemon shanty, which we were sitting here talking about it. We're not sure if we've done this before. Some of it looks familiar the little happy face on the can looks really familiar now but it's out of Shuggatuck Brewing Company and this is out of Michigan, douglas, michigan.
Speaker 2:And it's a 5%, and it's a 5%, and it's a 5%, and we're going to start off with that one.
Speaker 3:Ready, here we are.
Speaker 2:The tart citrus of lemon and the tangy freshness of blueberries combined make a delightful fruity beer, and we did read some reviews on this already and a lot of people are like one and done and they had some lemon to it. No, not no blueberry, no blueberry, lemon, yeah so let me try. Oh, I taste blueberry I taste blueberry wow I like it.
Speaker 3:I like it too. I was sipping it like that is like a taste of summer yes that's what it says on the can. A taste of summer, that is pretty good, that's really good.
Speaker 2:You know, it tastes like that cereal. The first step, the blueberry blueberry, frankenberry, frankenberry yeah, wasn't it frankenberry?
Speaker 3:no, frankenberry, what was the franken?
Speaker 2:one, the chocolate. No, the strawberry, strawberry. What was the chocolate? Oh, count count yeah damn, I know we talked about this now. We might have did this. The reason why is because, if it makes you think of cereal, we didn't have the cereal show early, yeah, but we had, yeah, yeah it's pretty good though, and it is kind of tart.
Speaker 3:It's not horrible no I mean it's not sour, but because they say it's tart, probably because of the lemon, I guess on the back end of it it does kind of get a little dried out a little bit, a little bit, but then as soon as you take another drink it's completely on it's blueberry refreshing.
Speaker 2:And I don't get where you just get lemon, I don't either.
Speaker 3:I think you get more blueberry than lemon. They were drinking at the brewery and it was more lemony.
Speaker 2:It could have been then it could have been, but right now it's good, but right now these blueberries are good.
Speaker 3:They were at the they were at.
Speaker 2:They were at the brewery. Yeah, oh, that makes sense. Maybe in the bottom of the barrel or the top top of the yeah, blueberry settled, blueberry settled, but this is pretty good sip of sunshine. Huh, a sip of sunshine, sunshine. And that little guy's just staring at me, that lemon head that little lemon head?
Speaker 3:yeah, looks like the little reddit guy it does yeah if it just had the little thing on top. It does look like the reddit guy the little Teletubbies fucking thing on top of his head. Yeah.
Speaker 1:The.
Speaker 2:CPAP.
Speaker 1:Usually when I see that, then I'm looking at vaginas.
Speaker 2:It's a it. Anyways, Rick, how has your week been going so far?
Speaker 3:So far it hasn't been bad. It's been just your average week.
Speaker 2:It's really nice outside, the weather's really turned around for us.
Speaker 3:I mean, a lot of people were walking around in sweatshirts and shit. Today I'm like, are you guys?
Speaker 2:Really Already.
Speaker 3:People were shaking their head. Oh my god, it turned to winter. Stop it I mean it's like 67 degrees, You're okay.
Speaker 2:It's alright.
Speaker 3:She's stop it I mean it's like 67 degrees, you're okay, it's all right, like it's just I can't believe it's august jesus it's not that bad. It's not that bad like I'm walking around in shorts and t-shirt. No, it's not that bad. It's not that bad. Stand out here in the rain having a cigarette I mean you went.
Speaker 2:I mean I went golfing, but you went um camping.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this past weekend.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this past weekend, which was nice. It actually was kind of warm this weekend.
Speaker 3:It was, and I honestly, first time in years, got into the lake. Oh, because of the heat, yeah, it was just not much to do. So we took our chairs and just went and sat down there and I was quite impressed on how warm that fucking lake was. It was pretty warm oh dude, I was like, it was like bath water people peed in it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, evidently like they're just pumping the sewer right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're just pumping the sewer from the campground right into it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just yeah just sitting there and was the water brown? Water's always brown. I know, that's why I said it water's always brown. That's because it's always in there. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3:Yeah. No, yeah, but then as soon as I mean. Granted, I only sat like in my chair and you know so, just my butthole was getting wet, basically.
Speaker 2:But your brown starfish. Yeah, yeah, so it was already brown.
Speaker 3:You're saying you know, so towards it to the brownness, the brownness. But yeah, we definitely went and took showers. I was like you smell like shit. No, you just smell like a fucking wrecked tuna boat.
Speaker 1:You smell like a bunch of dead carp Swimming underneath your ass, Anyways I mean it was nice.
Speaker 2:I went golfing Friday when we went out. It was nice. I went golfing which Friday when we went out. It was nice. I think the weather was nice. But man, saturday rolled in. I was like, damn, it's toasty, it got toasty. Yeah, it was toasty and we weren't playing. It was that hit wait, hit, wait. Then we would go through hit wait, hit. I hate that pace of golf.
Speaker 3:You know where you're I mean Absolutely hate, that, but on a real hot day, sometimes it's better, sometimes it's not, depending on if you have a tree or not.
Speaker 2:That we hunted. Yes, we hunted shade the whole game.
Speaker 3:Right yeah, if you were hunting, I mean, if you had shade.
Speaker 2:But yeah just sitting there.
Speaker 3:No breeze, no breeze. Yeah, there was no breeze, no even on the lake, like we were literally camping on the lake, like there was no, there was no breeze and I was pounding beer, just like I'm thirsty, I'm right, right, gatorade, boom, boom beer, gatorade, beer, you know, water, you know.
Speaker 2:I was like shit. Yeah, I even wore that shirt that me and my brother wore when we went golfing. That, you know, was kind of loose.
Speaker 3:Had the nipples cut out.
Speaker 2:Had the nipple holes cut out and the back was you know, the back's open to where the bruise can come in. Right? That son of a bitch was sticking to me. Every time I had to go off, I would have to pull up my left sleeve, my right sleeve.
Speaker 3:Well, that's how golfers do, though. Yeah, if you watch golfers, they are always pulling on that one sleeve.
Speaker 2:Well, the reason why is because you want that full movement.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you want the full movement, right, that's why I don't wear any underwear when I golf. You do shirtless. I don't wear any underwear when I go golfing.
Speaker 2:I see it when it drops out. Yeah, your balls are hanging.
Speaker 3:Yeah, my balls by accident, that I believe you ever seen rick goff, he would hit his own balls.
Speaker 2:Damn it not again but it was a good weekend for me. It was nice playing. And one thing I did notice, though because we played friday, you know, saturday, sunday I never had this in the past, but maybe because I'm hitting better this year, which you would think less it wouldn't be as much. But I was tired, I was wore out, like my body was aching, but the bed was so soft. You know how you put your ass in your feet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was the problem and I was looking at my feet.
Speaker 2:It was like I was already in the position like someone's gonna fuck me you know stirrups yeah I got out of the bed I'm like shit, did my father-in-law just come over here and fuck me because? I feel like I've been abused you know walking funny it was an epic weekend it was an epic weekend hey I didn't say anything. 20s and 20s 20s and 20s, but it was an epic weekend.
Speaker 3:You gave me an extra stroke, yeah.
Speaker 1:Let me help you out.
Speaker 3:I met on the golf course.
Speaker 2:I never took that much yeah on the golf course. I never took that many showers.
Speaker 3:I felt so nasty yeah I bet.
Speaker 2:I'm like why are you in the shower with me?
Speaker 3:Give me some peace. What is it? You're trying to save water. It's a hotel.
Speaker 2:It's not at the house, you're not paying for it.
Speaker 3:He's just so used to showering.
Speaker 2:We better save some money here yeah he's old enough to help him get in there that's why the daughter finally left she got sick of showering or washing him.
Speaker 3:He's getting that age so come on, dad bend over. I gotta wash your ass. We went get that undercarriage, so come on, dad, bend over, come on, I got to wash your ass. I got to wash your ass.
Speaker 2:We went and it was funny, get that undercarriage. Yeah, there wasn't many that had a golf with us, because there was a few people that were in the white and everybody else was either in the gold or the. Oh really, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And I was the only one in my group that was in the back, you know. So I was like hitting, and there was one hole that the had the whites and the blues, so they had the, the um, more the advanced the pros, I guess you would say. And they were right next to each other, right? So then I stepped a foot back and I put a state, I put my ball in, I said I'm going above and beyond the pros. I'm good, I'm good, I'm good enough. I'm better than the pros, we're doing it happy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was too out there.
Speaker 3:Smacking my ass.
Speaker 2:But no, it was a good weekend. A lot of golf, but it was a good weekend. But I actually realized I started to think about the people that do it professionally. But I guess they're more used to three, four days of playing in a row.
Speaker 3:And they work out every day for it, and that's all they do. Yeah, they're swinging every day.
Speaker 2:I'm sure they still get sore though.
Speaker 3:I'm sure. After what do they play 56 holes?
Speaker 2:Well it depends what league, because if you play on, the Pga you're playing 418s, right, so 64 yeah, and if you're on the live, you're playing three yeah 16, 18, 18, 18.
Speaker 3:Now it's 72. We don't do math on the show.
Speaker 2:That's 72 yeah, no three, no 18. If it was 20, it would be 60. No, you said it, oh, 4. 4 for the PGA, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so 18,. 18 is what 36. Times 2.
Speaker 3:Is 60, 72. There you go, that's what.
Speaker 1:I said 72.
Speaker 2:That's exactly what I was saying Yay, you made me guessing.
Speaker 3:I'm like what the fuck? I'm like, wait a minute. Yay, you mean math, math. You mean math, math.
Speaker 2:Big brain, but anyways, you know. But the thing too is, if they outplay and say and they have a hot day, like it was on Saturday, where there's no breeze but they probably have more, what do you call it? Nerves going because everybody's watching, right? Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, because you know how, when we start off, when everybody's watching, it's like fuck, I can't stand it.
Speaker 3:I can't stand it either. Yeah, I'm hitting Greg's house Off of number one.
Speaker 2:No, you're hitting the water. Yeah, I don't know. Rick made no, actually he made it in the water in a Jesus ball. I did a Jesus ball, yeah.
Speaker 3:It skipped all the way across and landed on the other side. Yeah, I was like yeah yeah, yeah. Finally did it. God bless you, god bless me. Well, this is going to be a great game.
Speaker 2:And then, it went straight down. Yeah, it did.
Speaker 3:He cursed me from there on out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because you mocked him. Yeah, because you mocked him. So he said punish you. I'm surprised he didn't get struck by lightning. Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't get a hole one. And come find your ball.
Speaker 3:And there it is, and there it is yeah look in the hole look in the hole and then everybody's like.
Speaker 2:He actually looked at the hole and there it was there was. There it was, but anyways, uh, other than that I agree with you. The weather's been nice. It's starting to get cool at night and decent during the days.
Speaker 3:Camping season's coming in for you, because this is when you like Bonfire season Beer drinking, yeah, cooking over the open fire. Yeah, yeah, I'm getting excited.
Speaker 2:This is your on. Yeah, I'm getting excited?
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely, so going back to this.
Speaker 2:I'm slamming this, I am too. It's going down. By the way, the brewery is real nice. They got a nice menu that had decent prices. Yeah, they're not bad like, and they got the smoke whitefish dip. That kind of makes me that looks good yeah and it says with um, house-made potato chips and stuff, gluten-free of course, and then just a lot of different things. Uh yeah, they got a bunch of dips, caesar salad and smash burgers and everything chicken wings yeah, eight, that ain't bad and they're a good price.
Speaker 2:But I bet you, I mean I would go there, because one thing we noticed they had a peachy, they had a peach lemon or a peach lemon shanny, they had a strawberry lemon shanny and then they had a black cherry. Black cherry, was it black cherry?
Speaker 3:I think it was yeah but they had a lot of nice different um channies yeah, and which, for some reason, this is the only one I've ever seen, you know this is the only one I've ever seen yeah, so why the peach and everything?
Speaker 2:I would probably buy the peach I would, or it doesn't come out and it sells so fast. Wow, that could be, you know, because I went to the store today to get the Rocket Pop right. Well, I told my brother that they had these. What is it? I can't think of it. Chocolate, was that Crown Royal?
Speaker 3:Is it? Oh yeah, that's new, it's new.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. So when I was there just last tuesday when we were I was picking up stuff, they had um a ton of it. No crown royal. That's why I was saying crown yeah, chocolate, crown royal chocolate yeah, and I went to get some because I said, hey, if they got something, you want me to pick up the bottle. He's like, yeah, if they have something, you know? Um, I went back there, gone Well yeah.
Speaker 2:Gone. The only thing they have in now is they're celebrating the military. So if you buy a bottle of like blackberry or peach vanilla whatever they had all the flavors but you get a camo bag to celebrate, oh yeah, yeah. So that was pretty cool that's kind of cool yeah I like crown royal, I'm not bad, but when I drink that blackberry one, to me it's it tastes like cough, uh, cough medicine yeah, yeah, yeah yeah the chocolate one I did buy for myself because and how is it?
Speaker 2:oh no, I didn't try it just straight. A lot of people said it ain't so good straight up. But if you do like, let's say people have been doing them coffee martinis with that in there.
Speaker 3:I could see that. I could see that, yeah.
Speaker 2:Or mixing it with like strawberry something and that Then you get like a chocolate covered strawberry. Right, right, right so it's kind of that thing. I know we were drinking show so I will give you some feedback once I try that and let you know how it tastes. But once it went out in the market like everything else, it just it's gone.
Speaker 3:Yeah, people started advertising it. I mean, I've seen it all over the old tickety-tock.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:But I've never seen it actually out.
Speaker 2:And the bag's pretty cool because it's a very dark-colored chocolate-looking bag cool because it's it's a very dark color chocolate looking bag.
Speaker 3:It's pretty cool, it's got a nice look, so why it's darker than the?
Speaker 2:maple yes, yes, okay, yeah, see, now I like when they do the browns one around here where they sew. I've never seen that. Oh yeah, they sew the browns logo in it really like your bag over here. I've never seen it has the browns color. Oh, it's cool that is cool I would just buy the bottle I mean I wouldn't drink it I would just buy that you would buy.
Speaker 3:it has the browns color. Oh, it's cool, that is cool. I would just buy the bottle.
Speaker 2:I mean, I wouldn't drink it, I would just buy it. You would buy it for the bag, just for the bag. Well, you know what, though? Crown Royal probably thinks that they advertise bags because, just like yourself, you would buy it for a friend and just give them the bottle.
Speaker 3:And they keep the bag, and keep the bag the bottle and they keep the bag and keep the bag. Yeah, so now I was thinking about getting the chocolate one and putting my wiener in it. That would be like a chocolate covered banana. Yeah, with the curve like here, honey, what's you know?
Speaker 2:guzzle that. I seen this the other. I seen it on a tiktok and it just hit me what you? What's that? Um, something, banana, um, they go it. It's a song, it goes chocolate. I don't. It doesn't say chocolate, but it says something like blink banana, blink banana. I can't think of the tiktok song. Is that the chicken?
Speaker 3:oh, chicken, oh yeah, that's what it is chicken, banana, chicken, yeah, so the guy was uh, uh, golfing, right, and he was expressing chicken.
Speaker 2:Where your arms are out, right, you get a banana hook. I was like, oh shit, that's right. He's like he was showing it chicken and then he would hit and he would get the banana? Yeah, he was like banana, chicken banana with the hook, and I was like that's fucking, yeah, he's like keep the arms in, you don't?
Speaker 3:get that Now. I'm all.
Speaker 2:that's all I'm going to do you know, when we golf this week I go to chicken banana. Every time he goes right chicken banana.
Speaker 3:But anyways, that was just something else in my head while I'm golfing. Yeah.
Speaker 2:He was having a Jesus walk ball. This week Something else in my head while I'm golfing. But I seen that and I thought, man, it clicked, it did. He over exaggerated and he used his arms, and sure enough that sucker went curved like a banana and I was like oh, chicken banana.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But anyways, oh, we got to rate this so we've done some shanties in the past right.
Speaker 3:We've done some shanties and they're considering this a tart.
Speaker 2:I don't get that much tart.
Speaker 3:I don't get that much tart, so just go with the shanty, yeah, I would just do a shanty, because it is a shanty.
Speaker 2:It is a shanty, so we'll just go with the shanty.
Speaker 3:It is a shanty, so we'll just go with the shanty. I mean, I love the flavor.
Speaker 2:I love the flavor.
Speaker 3:I really do like the blueberry of it.
Speaker 2:And it stayed the whole way as I'm drinking it.
Speaker 3:I'm feeling froggy, I'll probably do a nine. Oh, I was going to go 10.
Speaker 2:You're going to go 10 on it. Yeah, because this is refreshing, it's so refreshing 10 you're gonna go 10 on it. Yeah, because this is refreshing, it's good I would jason keep it oh, absolutely yeah, no, I would keep this in my fridge.
Speaker 3:Yes, I think it was 12.99 well, that's not bad for a six pack, six pack, yeah I paid 12.99 for that four pack.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a tall boy it is a tall boy, yeah, but uh, I would princess this because it's, it's good. Could you imagine putting a couple blueberries in there, absolutely floating right like where you go to fat heads?
Speaker 3:yeah, blueberries, yeah, yeah, I'll go to town with you because I'll go to town with you, yeah because the thing about it is, you think about the blueberry one that you get from fat heads.
Speaker 2:I like that, but not as much as this, but that's not a shanty, but still, you know what I mean well there's that blueberry coles from um double wing brewery which is good, which is really good too, but not I think I would prefer this one over that. This has to me.
Speaker 3:This does have a little bit of a tartness to it. I think that's what actually I like about it in the lemon flavor a little bit it gives it that lemon. Yeah, but I'm not a huge lemon fan.
Speaker 2:But it's nice, but this blueberry covers it right up. It is so good. Not artificial tasting to me? No, it is not, and it's not sweet.
Speaker 3:No, it's not. No, it's kind of like almost naturally sweet would you say, yeah, it tastes like you're licking on a blueberry.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's good. It tastes like you're licking on a blueberry. Yeah, it's good. I like this one, so I would do it. Now that I see it and it's going around, I would almost want to grab it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, grab it, grab it now Because honestly I would grab it like middle of winter it would be good, you know what I mean. If you're sitting in there in your house at a fire fucking going on just looking out to the snow and but oh, I gotta taste the summer what about when the same two years ago.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what about if you were doing this out and, um, you had a fire going in fall? I could see this.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, absolutely yeah yeah, because it's still a taste of summer. Yes, it is good I mean, it's it really.
Speaker 2:It says it right on the can a taste, a sip of a sip of sunshine yes, and which it is it is pretty good, um, normal man, we're moving quick today, um, but we'll go. What we'll do is, uh, take a quick break and then come back and we'll go do some reiki, bad choices and do this rock pop and see what we come up with, see how it all pans out. It all pans out, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1:Get our good, bad and cool boy, welcome back.
Speaker 2:I hope you got a nice ice cold one, like we do. Wait, there's some gooey stuff on mine, see it right?
Speaker 3:there is that from the glue, from the yeah, damn it.
Speaker 2:I need a rag beer wench. Can you get I need that.
Speaker 3:Needs wiped out, look just go grab another one. No, grab the other one, the other one was warm.
Speaker 2:Just wipe it off real quick. Just grab hers.
Speaker 3:Just don't put it no she dropped hers on the floor.
Speaker 2:I ain't playing that game. Well, I'll go ahead, okay, go ahead, rick, try it. Rocket Pop Sour. Does it taste like? Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3:So it almost tastes. I don't know. I'm going to let you.
Speaker 2:I got junkies.
Speaker 1:I'm going to let you. It's like the glue from the Taste it.
Speaker 2:Okay, smells good.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 3:I kind of like it. I do, but does it taste? Flat on the back?
Speaker 2:it's like flat, yeah, but it's got bubbles in it for sure yeah, but I don't I could see the bubbles. You know, I buy this lemon drink that I get from sam's club and it tastes kind of like this yeah it just I don't know.
Speaker 3:To me it seems flat and like it's very, it tastes like a melted popsicle.
Speaker 2:Yeah I think that's what they were going for, right I, I guess evidently I mean they. It's the rocket pop, like everybody remembers, the red, white and blue and that's the logo they got on it yeah, but I give it a minute, but I know where you're getting at yeah, it just seems like it's that takes a little bit away from the score. That, yeah, I would say it doesn't help the score, it takes away.
Speaker 3:No, because, like I don't know To me, I would make it even a little more bubbly, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 2:Mine tastes like glue.
Speaker 3:Carbonated. Yours tastes like glue, glue, oh glue.
Speaker 2:Still got that shit on there, it's Ricky glue.
Speaker 3:Damn beer.
Speaker 1:Ew.
Speaker 2:It is a little salty.
Speaker 1:Do you?
Speaker 3:know the difference? Do you know the difference between me and a Skittle?
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 3:And Skittles.
Speaker 2:And Skittles what.
Speaker 3:I only come in one flavor Pineapple. You can tell that to your wife later.
Speaker 2:Maybe I come in pineapple. I come in asparagus Asparagus flavor Brussels sprout.
Speaker 3:I don't know. Does that change the flavor? Yeah, I don't like brussels sprouts you fry them up, right, you're not bad.
Speaker 2:Everybody says that everybody says these taste like candy, you know. Try to get me suckered into eating them, little shits taste watered down a bit artificial and lacking a fruity identity.
Speaker 3:Average at best. I'm kind of agreeing with that guy at all.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it does taste watered down he had it at draft so he must have yeah how about? No, it smells like it would work but oh no, I give it more than that guy. Yeah, Because he's only giving it a one star more or less, or out of five. But I don't know if it's not a one Now, I could tell you already, I probably wouldn't keep this.
Speaker 3:So now that guy just said, as a self-proclaimed connoisseur of rocket pops, this is solid.
Speaker 2:I don't mind, because maybe he eats the popsicle all the time.
Speaker 3:Deep throat and the popsicle the whole day long, the whole. Thing yeah, he just takes it down in one gulp.

Speaker 2:much Every sip. It keeps taking over and keeps taking over and it's on the sides, it's on the back, it's underneath your tongue. My tongue? Yep, yes, that's why I said I would probably struggle a little bit, because it doesn't make me like the last one you wanted to drink.

Speaker 3:You want to use like the Northeast the northeast, you know, like new york and pennsylvania yeah go down south, I'll go to cronk road island. Yeah, you got new york road yeah, I'm going halfway down the eastern seaboard here, look at this baby oh, I gotta tell you this story.
Speaker 2:So I was, my dog was sick, right, I don't know what happened to her, but she kept getting the misses, like she had to go out Cat's, like she got diarrhea. I was up all night with her going in and out and I seen her look at me like hey is daddy going to?
Speaker 2:take me out and I'm like you know, but mom was up gonna take me out, and I'm like you know, but mom was up anyways the um. Yesterday I went down and um to change the uh dehumidifier. You know, change the water and out, just check it. I was gonna play a game real quick, I figure.
Speaker 2:I get on real quick. You know I use the excuse like, hey, I'm gonna go, I'll be back. You know she's like shop, are we ready in a minute? And I was like how long is a minute? Like 10, 15. I was like perfect, we can get him in yeah, I open the door, I go down, I'm like good.
Speaker 1:Lord, what's that?
Speaker 2:smell, you know, and I'm like what is that? And I go down and I'm like that's terrible. I click on the light. Shit everywhere, that dog shit everywhere down there. At least it's on the hard, yeah, but oh, it was everywhere. I was like, oh shit, I don't want to step in it.
Speaker 1:And then.
Speaker 2:So, anyways, I'm cleaning all this up.
Speaker 3:I'd have just closed the door and be like can you go get the water? Shouldn't you go down to the sauna for a little while?
Speaker 2:yeah, let her find it yeah it took all more than 15 minutes clean all that up man which dog, was it lucy the? Oh yeah, I mean never. I can never remember her ever pooping in the house or going to the bathroom. So at least Kat was like. At least she knew to go down in the basement where the hard floor is yeah. And I was like, yeah, not on the carpet or anywhere else.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I was like I felt bad for her, you know, because she wouldn't do that.
Speaker 3:I know she kept looking. That's why she was hiding it. That's why she went down the basement to hide it, because she didn't want to do it either. But yeah, but you guys weren't paying attention.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, and that was the thing is is that cat had taken her out like a couple times, but then cat stayed downstairs and I think that's when she was like oh, I still had to go yeah, but anyways, it took a minute and it took a lot of what is that fabiosa?
Speaker 1:to take the smell out of that.
Speaker 2:Oh man, it was bad but I felt bad for it that was my week clean up dog shit no, yeah, but yeah, just that wasn't a good joke no, but it just made me think of it when I was down there. You know how bad it was. I was like, but I wonder, I just wonder if I don't know if something got to her or she.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean, because she catches a lot of something outside and yeah, I just didn't agree with her and, yeah, she, she's getting old yeah, oh, she's getting old, yeah you know, yeah, she's her digestive, digestive system system and all the acid in her stomach and shit like that ain't probably as good as it used to be, so but they get so excited when I I cut up that fresh pet.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, they the one. The golden retriever dances.
Speaker 1:He's like oh happy he starts dancing.
Speaker 2:He hops around. He's so funny and I'm like cat. Look at him dance. He's like. You can see the grin on his face right, right, and then he just taps back and forth left and right. He's a wide body dog yeah, now he is. Yeah, now he is yeah and he's all happy he gets on there. He's like on the rug, like just jumping back and forth.

Speaker 2:The other two shoot. I can put my hand down and grab anything but ricky. He's a little yeah, so I pet him. You can feel his body get like a little tense and then he relaxes a little bit. I said it's all right, dude, you know, because he's afraid you're gonna take it away you're gonna take it away, right?
Speaker 3:yeah, absolutely yeah but he's, he's.
Speaker 2:What do you call that food motivated dog? Okay, yeah, treat snacks, right yeah? He don't want to go to the bathroom, but as soon as I let the other two he knows that treats coming he's like I'm fine, I'm over here no, he's the first one in line he's just get the treat bitch, yeah, but he's like fine, I'll go outside too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you have to force him.
Speaker 2:Oh really, yeah, that dog, I'm amazed, is that two times? He's fine, you know, but we force him many times. But we're like, come on, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3:would you rate this rocket pop dude? I don't even say like just uh, maybe a half a packet of kool-aid and a fucking three gallon thing of water.
Speaker 2:But you what flavor you taste most the red, white or blue?
Speaker 3:I don't think there was. I I still don't believe that there was a flavor. I get a little blue, okay, I see that, yeah, but it does taste like it melted it, it melted, and you're just and it melted in a cooler but it's not real sweet by any man. Yeah, it melted in a cooler and you're just drinking no cooler water yes, you know, with it all right, I, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, go out on a limb here and I'm gonna, and I'm gonna, stick to a five oh, you read my mind.
Speaker 2:You know, ethan, I was gonna say five two. Ethan was telling me that um e-money that he had on his show. He's saying that your taste and my taste are getting very similar because we rate a lot of the same. But it's just a solid five.
Speaker 3:I mean I would not go. Since we do a one through ten, I would go a solid five. Somebody out there likes it. I'm sure it would go more or whatever. But to me there's not enough flavor, there's not enough carbonation. I think if they would carbonate it a little bit more, I don't know. Maybe I don't know, maybe I don't know, it's rough. I don't think they should call it a sour no.
Speaker 2:Just call it rocket pop.
Speaker 3:Just call it a fucking Water pop.
Speaker 2:No, because pop would be Like you would think you'd get bubbly.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you'd get more carbonation. To me, call it a Celsius or a, you know what I mean or a white claw. Yeah, you get more.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you get more carbonation to me, call it a Celsius, or oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean, or a white claw, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's very close to it, it's a white claw Basically.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Maybe this was the first white claw ever. It could have been. You know no laws when you're drinking white claws, no laws when you drink, but yeah, I agree. But, yeah, I agree with you um, I wouldn't say princess on this one and I would not, jason creeper, I would not.
