Episode notes
Welcome to the cave of craft beer solitude. Greg is still drinking for two while Flex continues his dry spell. Greg cracks open a hazy IPA that looked promising but had other plans, while the guys talk about a listener’s mushroom double experiment, a new idea to tax alcohol based on ABV, and a Brewers Association report that is not exactly encouraging. Somewhere in the middle they detour into a Seattle growler adventure, a drunk lawmaker, and a ski resort arrest that involves marijuana, kids, and ski boots behind the wheel.
Beers We’re Drinking:
- Greg is drinking Electric Limbs Hazy IPA from Beachwood Brewing, a 6.7% hazy IPA brewed with Mosaic and Citra hops.
Greg rolls the dice on a Beachwood hazy IPA that turns out to be aggressively carbonated and strangely lifeless, which leads to a listener email about a mushroom double from a very hipster brewery. The conversation wanders into old drinking stories, including Greg roaming Seattle with a growler stuffed in someone’s purse while exploring the stadium district. Flex and Greg also get into the realities of the modern craft beer industry and how things like AI tools and shifting revenue are changing the landscape for brewers.
Booze News:
- Hawaii lawmakers propose alcohol tax based on ABV instead of beverage category
- Brewers Association reports another operating loss in 2025
- Washington state lawmaker apologizes for being drunk during committee meeting
- Michigan woman arrested for DUI at ski resort while wearing ski boots

Today we've got a mushroom double drinking and skiing. The man is taxing the drinkers. And why are the Russians stealing all of our beer? Let's go. Welcome in everybody. This is the craft beer Republic. Thank you for drinking. Thank you for joining. I am Flex and not pregnant, but drinking for two. It is Greg.
No, but I do look a little pregnant these days. Don't beat yourself up like that. That is not fair. I'll get a sonogram later to make sure. Okay. Fair enough. But I think you look lovely. You're a doll. Yeah. What else is lovely is our top listening city of last week. MM. We back to Sin City, Greg. Las Vegas, Nevada. Drinking capital of the Nevada. Yeah. There you go. So thank you, Have everybody in Vegas again.
It's like a couple of weeks now. I feel like this year Vegas is honing in on us. Yeah, at least 2 or 3 times. I don't know why, but I'm here for it. Yeah, let's do it. Maybe it's like a little West Coast action. They're not West Coast, but they're west west ish. They apparently haven't heard all this shit. I talked about beer zombies, so. Well, yeah. We we we you know, everything I've had. Not great. But, uh, speaking of not great beers. Oh. Are you a fortune teller? Well, I mean, you know, you're looking a little thirsty,
and I'm just. I'm kind of curious to see what's going on here. Let's see what happens. I Love My Beer. I Love My Beer. I Love My Beer. Well, I'm drinking Beachwood. Brewing. Electric. Electric limbs. Hazy. IPA electric limbs is a hazy IPA
for the future. Its energetic aroma is powered by Beachwood select Mosaic and Citra hops. It is 6.7%. Let me flip over here. It has a 3.87 on untapped. And I'm going to be real honest with you cannot played a big role in the purchase. I would have bought that in a heartbeat. It is like 80s throwback electric. And I'm a sucker for anything. Lightning bolts. I don't know why. I just love lightning bolts. I was walking through once again
craft beer, uh, thrift shop, and this one stuck out to me. It was only available in a four pack, but it was canned just a couple months ago and I thought, that's pretty fresh. That's really, that is really rummage fresh. But I have low hopes as you can see. Flex I poured this about 30s ago. Head is completely gone and there are just these weird big bubbles left over. Yeah, it looks gross. It looks disgusting.
It looks like a morning pee after drinking all night. That's exactly what it looks like. I was trying to think. I was like, what? How do I describe this? You fucking nailed it. It looks like a morning piss when you're hungover as fuck. Yeah, it. Does not look delectable. I'm on the nose buds. There's, like, almost nothing. Like I get, like, a little pineapple, maybe. It's super, super light on the nose buds. Tongue-jobber. Wish me luck.
It doesn't want to come out. Keeps clinging to my teeth. It's weird. Is one of the best faces I've ever seen. Like so it's not good or bad. It's weird. Um, clearly the way they. Here's the thing. Beachwood is a highly respected brewery out here. This is not something I. That's why I dove in balls deep with the four pack. I thought, no problem, it's Beachwood. This will be just fine.
Uh, I was sorely mistaken. So it's weirdly over carbonated, and I think some of that has to do with the weird head lack thereof retention happening. Like it's not escaping. It's like a it's carbonation wise. It's like drinking a seltzer. It's it's like bubbly, like hard, very. Zippy. Very zippy. And it's supposed to be hazy. You can see that it's not the world's haziest hazy, neither. Juicier than it is hazy. Yeah. I mean, it's not like clear, but it's also not hazy. I'm having a hard.
The flavors are just like a little this, a little that and some carbonation. There's nothing really that distinctive. Like maybe some of that pineapple that I was smelling. But it's beer. Yeah. Who can I. And you got. You got a four pack. I got two and a half. Oh, three and a half more of these things that I got to somehow. Try and give. Them. Try and give the half away, I dare you. Please go downstairs. My wife. You want to try a really good beer.
That'll be poured down the drain after, uh, after divorce. Yeah. God, I wonder. I wish all my beer friends weren't so educated. Like, hey, I got a beer. You should try. Yeah, or didn't listen to the show. Oh, hey, I know, I just got this. I didn't even try it. Yeah. Oh. Three pack. Special edition. Fuck. Uh, if any of my friends who are listening would like to try this ever so delicious beer. I will save one for you. Lucky you.
Yeah. Send one to Flex too. Oh. Please don't. Well, you know what? You could do it, I wouldn't care. Oh, I feel like I should drink. I mean, I'm drinking for two, and this is what I came up with. Oh. It does look like there's a little heart in the glass, though. It does look like a little heart shape in the bubbles. So it's not just me? No, no. Yeah. If you turn around, it looks like a ball sack. Oh. Yeah. Like, why is there zero head on this thing? Like, what the fuck? And it's not like it's not carbonated. It's over carbonated, I'd say.
Like, how are the bubbles not. It's so weird. So weird. Bizarre. And the great words of some Spanish philosopher. No. Me. Gusto. Well spoken. Yeah. So I love this, by the way. Long live poop. Beergate. We thought it was 2025. It's forever. Yeah, just like, uh, you know, the breweries combining.
You know, it lives on from 2025 to 2026, as does Poop Beer Gate. So we had a listener send in here and he writes, aw, I'm sorry. They write, hey team, I wasn't going to send this, but after hearing the poop beer and Brian call in with his story, I figured this one finally had a home. About a year ago, I picked up a bottle of a foraged mushroom double from this ultra hipster brewery in upstate New York. It came in one of those wax tipped
bottles and had tasting notes like Omarm forward, woodsy funk, and my personal favorite culinary mystery. HMM. The first sip. I don't I don't even think you can go to a restaurant and have something labeled Culinary Mystery. Um. The cafeteria meat. Cafeteria beer.
The first sip was straight dirt and fermented soy sauce. The second was like licking the inside of a compost bin after a rainstorm. I gave it one more try, just to be sure. Because, you know, third time's a charm. There's nothing immediately. Thorough. And then immediately dumped the rest. Even the sink seemed offended. I took a picture of the label and put it in a group chat with the caption, I've made a huge mistake. Still get roasted for it anyway.
Love the show. Thanks for giving me a place to finally unburden myself. Cheers. Lex in Albany. Well, sexy Lexi, I. First of all, I'm glad you had a place to get that off your chest. I'm glad we could be that poop beer outlet for you. But, uh, I this is on you. Culinary mystery. Yeah, that's not a great tasting note on a beer. I mean, umami forward. That scares me a little. Woodsy funk. I'm usually out because that
sounds like a farmhouse or. Saison, and we know how I feel about that. But culinary mystery. Read the room, man. I'm just thinking he kind of missed like a mushroom pun here, and he could have said, I've made a huge mistake. Like a mushroom. That's. That's the only place where I'm going with that one. Yeah, like, Holy shiitake. This is gross. I don't know. Yes. See, that's why I have you here. That's why we pay Greg the big bucks. Uh, well, yeah. Lex, please, if you have any more of these stories.
Glad you were able to get it off your chest. Anybody? I love this, this running theme here, this poop beer gate. Uh, hashtag poop beer. Send us all the gross, nasty tasting, uh, descriptions you got there. Yeah. In fact, dear Greg and Flex, the other day I was at the craft beer thrift shop, and I bought something because I had a sweet ass can. I won't call the brewery out, but I'll say it was called Electric Limbs.
It had great promise. Was relatively fresh for being at Total Wine, so I thought, what could go wrong? It was hazy, cool to look at and I thought, this. This will be the beer for me. Little did I know. Try to look up the descriptor so I can use some words in it. Little did I know that its energetic aroma was not so much powered by select Mosaic and Citra hops, but in fact powered by over
carbonation in zero head and lack of flavor. Well, yours truly. The electric limbs did not pay their energy bill. Yeah. Oh, honestly, this might be the worst beer I've had on the show in like six months, if not longer. That's crazy. Yeah, this is really legitimately just like what? Weirdly, not. Two weeks ago was probably the worst one I had had in a very long time. Oh, what about that one that looked like throw up like a month ago?
Oh. Yeah. That would. No, that was months ago. Yeah. Or you know what's funny? I texted you when I saw that at Total Wine because they were selling it in four packs, but I think they were selling it for like 30 bucks. Yeah, it was something like that. Yeah. I was like, oh, I should get it and have it on the show because it'd be so funny because Flex had it and it was gross. I was like, you know what? I'm not spending $30 on a joke. It would now know. And now they have singles, but the singles are 9.99. I'm like, I'm still not paying $10 for a joke. That is stupid. That is that's awful to actually
do that to somebody, make them pay $10 for that shit ass beer. I'm sure that like, people are returning it or like throwing it against the wall, and that's why they have singles now. Yeah. I mean, to just even pour that out. If you don't know what you're getting into, you're probably like, what the fuck? Why is this brown? Why is it lumpy? Why does it look like soapy poop? I mean, it legitimately looked like throw up. Like not just kind of like actual throw up that came out of a person.
And I wouldn't recommend it. No. And not like, not like super hot chick gave me the baby bird throw up. It looks like actual throw up. Oh, you should have put the picture of the beer on the when you put it on the old IG there, just to really give people the idea. Oh, I posted it after you had. Oh you did. Oh my gosh. Oh yeah. Oh thank goodness. Decker brewing and raw watermelon lemonade slushie sour collab. That was batch 490.
So ten episodes ago, 12 episodes ago, if you haven't heard it, that was from December 10th. Uh, they're still trying to fucking peddle that shill over a total one for 30 bucks a four pack. It was an abomination. Yeah. Go fuck yourself. Total wine. Oh, well, to piggyback on Lexi's, uh, kind of funky farmy beer, uh, or obscure beer? Term of the week. Oh. Brought to you. By us doing obscure beer terms. And the letter O.
Oh, yeah, I like that. Or how about the letter H? Uh, horse blanket. Allegedly a common descriptor for earthy, musty aroma found in wild fermented beers like lambics. MM. I guess that makes sense. It makes sense. But I just like picture one hipster to the next being like, oh man, I just had this super horse blankety beer. No way man.
It's like had, like two horse blankets in it. It was so horse blankety. Like, I can taste the horse mane. It's so horse blankety. They just walk around like. Oh yeah, just neighing like crazy. Yeah. Is that how they procreate? They just neigh a bunch and then get into bed? Hipsters, I think so. I think it's required. Yeah, yeah, I actually think it's in a documentary.
We found two hipsters in the wild. Crikey, look at them neigh at each other. This is what happens right before they take each other to bed. Part of their mating ritual is they drink these garbage ass beers and pretend they're delicious. Look at the. Look at the expression on his face as he tries to choke it down. They refer to these as horse blankets.
Oh, this deserves a spin off. Oh, but Jesus. Just, uh. Just us with bad accents again. I know we have a tendency. Hey, you know what's funny? A couple of weeks ago, on 500. You brought up the Van Duzer episode. Yes. That episode. It never, never, never. The episode that never was. I can't find it. I went looking for the files. Phew. I think my computer. I think like after so long, it it sort of just like deletes super old, like project files on its own.
And since that was probably like 3 or 4 years ago, it's like, fuck you, you're not going to want this thing. And I mean, honestly, it's probably right. It is for the better. I was kind of hoping it was there. I at least play a clip of it because, you know, it's a fucking Van Dusen. Yeah. yeah, the van is here. Um, you know what, though? Don't reel it in. Reel it in. It's, uh, get into a little bit of news here. All right. All right, all. Right. Um, is Dry January drying up? Let's find out.
Uh, growth in non-alcoholic beer slowed during this year's dry January period. According to new data from an IQ analyzed by bump Williams Consulting and Abeers, dollar share in grocery stores increased just 0.1% year over year, uh, in January, reaching 4.3%, which is a much smaller gain compared to the 1.1% increase last year. Um, so I would say that's a pretty big win. Yes. Down within a beer. Yeah. And you know, the numbers aren't out yet. So, uh. You know.
You can't say anything about that, but, uh, well, the category continues to grow overall, uh, bump Williams Consulting noted that the pace growth has slowed as share expands. President Dave Williams pointed to signs of saturation, saying the magnitude of growth this January was notably diminished compared to the previous year. Well, that's good news. Yeah, I would say that's good news because. Well, it's something we complain about all the time. It's like, look, if you're not going to drink beer, just don't drink beer. No one's saying you have to drink it. Like you've been doing this weird ass thing for a couple of weeks now.
How many Na beers have you had? I've had zero na beers. Okay, you've had a lot of weird ass sodas, but zero na beers. Don't dis the dirty soda gonna make the animal come out. There's been a spike in sales in French vanilla coffee creamer, but Na beers have not been touched. You know, now I just hope somebody tries it and writes in about the dirty soda. Like, you know what? I still drink beer, but I had to try what Flex was talking about, and it's fucking delicious. I mean, I've got heavy cream
downstairs and some Coke zeros. I don't know if I would do that. The French vanilla just really vanillas it up. Just a hint. See, I don't like French vanilla in my coffee. I don't I don't like sugar. I just I just want a little splash of cream and. There's really not much sugar in coffee creamer. But I don't want the flavor. You know? You know who would try? It would probably be like dab or Erica. They're like. 100% try. Yeah, they would totally try it. They're like the Schnog Weirdo's and Erica. Absolutely would hurt her. Schnog. Yeah. Hey, Erica. Deb, you wanna you wanna you
wanna try something? Yeah, just just do just do the dirty soda. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, just go back to batch 501. Listen to the dirty soda. Just do it. And give it a shot. Give it a shot. Um, all right. Here. Uh, Hawaii legislators propose Bev tax based on ABV. Very interesting here. Uh, Hawaii lawmakers are considering a bill that would charge a liquor tax based on ABV rather than Bev Elk category. Uh, the house bill 19999199
would amend excise tax rates to the following $1 per gallon on all beverages between 0.5 ABV and 10% ABV, $2.75 per gallon on beverages above ten up to 15. I don't know how they get this number $11.89 per gallon on beverages above $15, up to 40%, and then an even $13 per gallon on beverages above 40%. The legislators argument for the
changes that Hawaii's beverage tax rates have remained the same since 1998. So here's the thing. I scream at people when they talk about percentages remaining the same. Like, you know, we still tip 20% on our meals and they go, that hasn't changed in a million years. And I scream from the rooftops, you're correct. The percentage hasn't changed, but the amount has gone up because the bill has gone up, 20% of 100 is a lot more than 20% of 50. You fucking idiots. Um, that being said,
it's an interesting tax structure. And I just googled while you were reading that I googled how much alcohol is in mouthwash. Interesting. What is it? Something like 10%. More. Actually. So mouthwash with alcohol based mouthwash typically contains between 14 and 27% alcohol. No kidding. By volume. So are they going to tax mouthwash as well? You would think they have to. I think they won't because I'm sure you know like big crest out
there is going to lobby against it. But uh, I think if look I'm not against taxing things that need to be taxed, but, uh, if you're going to tax beer and wine and spirits, why not text tax? Other things that have alcohol, like mouthwash. What about extracts? Like doesn't like vanilla extract. Have o percentage of alcohol. I mean, it's distilled vanilla. Let's see how much alcohol in vanilla. People are so glad I'm saying
this out loud. You know, it's funny you mention that. I was listening to our local one of our radio shows the other morning at work, and they were doing the exact same thing. They were talking as they were googling something. So we're professionals. We're not alone. All right. Good. How much would you guess is in pure vanilla extract? All right. Again, I'm gonna say something like 11%. Okay. I would have guessed in the teens, somewhere in the teens. And we were wrong. It is 70 proof that motherfucker is 35%. Oh, okay. Right.
I was not expecting that. So, yeah, that'll raise some eyebrows, man. Than in Hawaii. So are you gonna attack? I mean, now they're calling it a bev elk tax. Obviously vanilla, not a bev. True. I mean. Is mouthwash, Bev? Not directly. But you do. You know, put it in your mouth. Hey, yo. Um. It's like glorified peppermint schnapps. You're not supposed to swallow. I'm just saying, if you're gonna tax alcohol tax across the board.
I 100% agree with you. Hawaii. Yeah. Take that. Hawaii. Uh, the Brewers Association 2025 annual report in revenue comes in. Mhm. So the Brewers Association reported another operating loss in 2025, despite cutting expenses across nearly every line item, according to its annual report. Total revenue fell 24.6% year over year to 16.8 million, while the expenses dropped 22.4% to 18.9 million.
That left the trade group with a negative net of just over $2 million, marking the second straight year in the red. Brewers Association spokesperson said the cuts are intended to keep the organization, quote unquote, responsive, efficient and focused on what matters most to today's craft brewers. Adding that the group believes the changes will position it to emerge stronger. Events remain the BA's largest revenue source at 10 million, though the figure was down more than 23% from the previous year. This must be why they're doing
gabf outside this year. Yeah. Uh, yeah. We can't rent this hall. Yeah, yeah, that, uh, that's not good stuff. Nothing like outdoor gabf in October in Colorado. You got two options. It's either going to be 90 degrees or 30 degrees C. Maybe it, uh, maybe they get lucky the first year. Who knows? Yeah. And also, I have a feeling that so much of what the g a, b, gabf what the Brewers Association provides is sort of ChatGPT able
at this point. Oh, really? Yeah. In fact, I've seen that the Brewers Association has replaced their community forums where brewers can go on and ask questions of professionals with an AI chatbot. It's like, well, why would I give you a bunch of money when I could just pay 20 bucks a month to ChatGPT and look all this up myself? Oh. And the world's different now. It is. I'm just saying, if you're gonna, you know, continue to charge member fees and all that shit, you got to provide something for it that you can't get elsewhere.
Agreed. Yeah, maybe. Maybe have small brewers on the board that are offering things that I don't know you can't get elsewhere. Just saying. Think about it. This sounds like it would be a Florida story, but it is not a Washington representative. Apologizes for being drunk during committee meeting. Why apologize? Well, you know, apparently you're not supposed to do it. Lame.
The Washington State House Majority Leader Joe Fitzgibbon, cool name, has apologised after admitting he was visibly drunk during a House Appropriations Committee meeting in Olympia after a dinner break. Fitzgibbon delivered remarks while slurring his words and later acknowledged he had been drinking. It's a hard lesson for me to learn. It impacted my work, it impacted my colleagues, it impacted my constituents. My family know that just doesn't sound right. He forgot the and. Yeah, I this guy, he was drunk. Yeah.
He he said, it is a hard lesson, something I'm not going to repeat. Fitzgibbon said he walked home that night and did not drive. He plans to finish the legislative session without alcohol, though some Republican lawmakers have called for his resignation. Dude admitted he had a couple drinks. Yeah, I hear it happens a lot in Congress. And yeah. Judging by some of the shit that's going on. I think they're all drunk. But you're not wrong. One of my favorite drunken in public times was in Washington. In Seattle.
Hop, skip and a jump away. Yeah. What did you do? Have I told you about the the growler in Seattle? I heard, uh, some balcony stories I've heard. No, this was not that. Okay. Uh, this was. Man, I was probably 24 ish. You know, like early 20s. And my buddy and his girlfriend, now wife, moved up to Seattle for a job, just temporarily. It was meant to be temporary, you know, like a year or two. And while they're up, they're like, hey, come visit us in Seattle. I was like, fuck yeah, you know? That was back in those days when
like, you're like couch to sleep on. Hell yeah. Oh, yeah. You didn't need anything else. You didn't need, like, I'd fly in. I'd have, you know, I'd walk to their house if I had to and then sleep on the couch. Now it's like I will rent a car and get my own hotel. Thank you. But at the time. So I slept on the couch whenever we went out one night. And, you know Widmer back in the day. I don't know if they're still there or not. Had one of their taprooms in Seattle and we were there. We were eating and they had this special on growlers. And at the time I had never
heard of a growler. And I was like, what is this growler like? Oh, it's a half gallon of beer. I was like, come again? Yeah. And ah, I forget what it was, but it was stupid cheap. It was like, yeah, we'll fill it up for eight bucks or something. Like you will. So I'm 24. That sounds great. Yeah. And it's not even Bud Light. So sure enough, we got a growler of Hefe and we took to the town like we'd had a few beers there, obviously,
and dinner and took to the town. And, uh, the girlfriend now wife, luckily had a very large purse. And so we'd keep it in her purse and we'd pull it out. We'd all take a little swig of the old growler, put it back in the purse. Obviously it got very warm, very shaken up by the end of the night? But you know, when you're used to drinking like Bud Light, it's like, ah, who cares? Who cares? Yeah. Good times in Seattle, man. Just trying to imagine how big that purse was. Oh, it was large. It was very large purse. Because a growler, you know, 64oz.
Yeah. Not small and made of glass. So pretty heavy as well. Yeah. So honestly, you know what? She's a fucking champ for carrying that thing around for sure. True. Yeah. Yeah. So that was a good night. Like we walked around all the stadiums down like we were downtown. So like the stadium and the Seahawks stadium, we're just walking around and taking pictures and drinking out of growlers and it was a good time. Sounds like I've never been to Seattle. I have you know, I do want to go eventually. I recommend it. Um, yeah, a couple things. Uh, check out there and definitely
want to hit up a Mariners game too. I, Seattle and the Milwaukee kind of have like the thing that. Oh yeah. You know, because they were the Seattle pilots for one year. Oh, I didn't know that. Oh, you didn't know that? No. Oh, yeah. They were the Seattle pilots from like, I was like 69 to 70 or 70 to 71. What a stupid fucking name. The hats were really cool because the brim, like the brim of the hat had like the captain's wings.
Oh, I pictured, you know, the little cap with the spinny thing on top. No, that would be so stupid. I mean, the name is so stupid, so you can't follow me there. Hey, you, uh, take that back because Pilot Time listens to this. He probably thinks it was. He probably thinks it was the coolest team name ever. That's a pretty sweet team name. Sorry. Yeah. We really know how you feel. Uh, well, I guess we'll end it
on this one. Ooh. Woman arrested at Oakland County ski resort for o w I c. Margaret. Top of the mountain in Margaret Valley. She was arraigned Thursday in a 52 two District court. Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna leave. Uh, Margaret Feeley, uh, arraigned Thursday in a district
court in Clarkston. According to records, the 58 year old is charged with operating a vehicle while impaired her third offense, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office had said. Uh. Authorities allege that the defendant drove her vehicle at the bottom of the ski slopes at Alpine Valley Ski Area in White Lake Township last Tuesday, near skiers and snowboarders, including children, and had to be the children. Right. Uh, police said. If it's adults. Police said witnesses told them they saw Feli Smoking marijuana
before the incident. Oh, no. Yes. They also told officers she was wearing ski boots while driving. That is probably the most unsafe thing that we have read so far. That's way worse than whatever substance she was on. Absolutely. After the police conducted a traffic stop, officers administered sobriety tests and Feli exhibited poor balance and slurred speech. According to the authorities. Oh, yeah. Let's do it to you. Officials also said she was hostile,
even referring to one officer as Nazi dude. Yeah, bro. Yeah. She's angry. 58 year old woman. This defendant endangered children with her irresponsible actions, Karen McDonald, Oakland County prosecutor, said in a statement. There is no excuse to drive impaired even once. If you've had too much to drink or are under the influence of marijuana or other drugs, call a friend, call an Uber. Just don't drive. If you do, we will prosecute to
the fullest extent of the law. As they should. Uh, I wish they said why she would even do that. Like, why are you driving your. Well, your truck at the bottom of the ski hill? Because I can only pick. Up her kids. Maybe. Brilliant. Jump in those parking lots. Got to be pretty far away, right? You get to. All the ski resorts, I think. You know, mammoth, if you for those have been to Mammoth
Canyon Lodge at the. If you didn't. In fact, I saw someone once not stop at the bottom and they fell into the parking lot. But in order to drive onto the snow, you have to go up a very large embankment. So. Yeah. Yeah. Just. Hey, how how drunk were you? What the hell were you thinking? Yeah. I mean, I don't know about you, but marijuana makes me want to run over kids at a ski slope, too. Yeah, something about it just screams that. Yeah, that's why I do it so much.
Yeah, yeah. That doesn't relax me at all. It makes me want to murder children. We just had to talk about this today, too. About the feeling of it, where it's like, you just don't want to do much. Oh, when you're high? Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, absolutely. The actual feeling just. Yeah, I will say not a weed show, but I recently found a gummy that's like super uplifting. And while, you know, it's not like you did lines of coke, like it doesn't make me tired.
It just kind of takes the edge off a little bit. Okay. It's really nice when you have to go do like important adult stuff. Yeah. And you just don't get baked. Yeah, it's it's real light dose. So you don't get high. You just I'd call it a weed buzz. Okay. That's good to know. Yeah. If anybody wants to know any more, you know, just send Greg a DM here.
