Welcome to We're Still Cool, Right? The weekly podcast where the conversation flows smoother than top-shelf whiskey. And cool, well, it never really left. Grab a drink and hang out with Erik, Mike, and Shaun while they dive into nostalgia and attempt to answer the age-old question. We're still cool, right?

Yo, VIP, let's kick it I do no ice ice baby Never wanted to fucking his face off more no it's enigma One day we're gonna have a bet and Logan and I and whoever loses has to get the other tattooed like he needs to get an enigma uh tramp stamp so okay so even what does that even look like it's an indian guy singing on a mountaintop we'd have you get the words put on there too but we don't know what it is what's that look like it's a picture of enya the person oh wait it's a person i'm just kidding yeah i know i hear it's a lady oh it's a lady anytime i say it i know sean's coming in next with it so So anyway, we're back, baby.

We are back again. Thanks for joining us again. I'm Shaun. I'm Mike. And I'm Erik. And this is the We're Still Cool Rite podcast. Oh, yeah. Exciting throwback there in the beginning. I know. Thank you. So I heard that recently, and I'm like, I can rap that whole song. It's one of the only songs from my childhood that I can still. I remember having that on, I almost said VHS, Jesus Christ, cassette tape. I just fucking love that song So it's one of those weird ones It doesn't play very loud Like on my Apple Music Like because I remember during the pandemic We would go by and ice everybody And I'd play the music like it was like a funny thing We were doing I'm like I can't get it loud enough I guess I Yeah so I listened to it on the way here Because like I had heard it earlier in the day and it's been in my head all day And that's why I was like I'm going to fucking say that Which by the way you know what his real name is?

I do it is Oh wait, ohhhh I think I know what it is anyway. I know what it is. I just looked at it. Rob, roooooob Think of a really good bourbon. Right? Rob Cedar Ridge. Yeah, true. That's true, but I meant when you can't Sponsor us please. When you can't get here. So I got a funny story for this. So, Caten that's always listed, shout out to you buddy, down in Kansas City. He was breaking up with his girlfriend in college like you know that he was really serious first like probably real serious uh girlfriend and he was all depressed and raw and vanilla ice was performing at like the union or something really yeah and he goes somehow him and fucking vanilla ice are bellied up together at the bar and he's just like he's just unloading all his like sad tears oh my robin they like talked the whole time he said he's like super cool like he like just went through a breakup two or some and like yeah that's how it rob van we call rob van winkle yeah yeah that's robert matthew van winkle yeah so yeah chris i got an autograph that it was actually robert van winkle or he wrote something like that's allison you know go chris rob van winkle or something so yeah it was yeah so so chris can like hey rob let's get a remaster so that it's louder on now we do this again but yeah so so i don't know i suppose if you're gonna have a broken heart that's a hell of a story to take down and have somebody talk about if you're listening fuck you

she's not listening and we have no idea who she is no no idea at all but that's the funny thing is i'm like why is his name nell ice i'm like you'd fucking pick something crazy too if your name is robert van winkle like that's not not the coolest rap name in the world he's quite the entrepreneur though like he's like made all kinds of money off real estate and cars and shit like that and yeah kind of knows his shit so yeah um i'm just sitting here staring at this drink getting warmer and warmer by the minute so what do we think so yeah so we last week we did a drop shop shop drop shot and we talked about how you know i was like man why don't we do drop shots i love them so this is just the month of drop shots i've just decided like well if you guys want that's what i'm gonna do i just i was just thinking about this there's five weeks in this month so we have five drop shots hey i'm here for i'm good for that to be a month i mean this is ultimately my fault i sent a drink for the guys like hey we should do this one and then was working today i'm like yeah i'm not gonna be able to get out to get this taken care of well hold on it was funny because you were like before the pot you were like they probably thought i was making it yeah we totally did and it was like the easiest drink i just didn't have time to go to grab the stuff and actually you probably had the majority of it here we already had the boot Well, whatever.

Yeah. I will say, every time that you text an idea, that means you were doing it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was my bad there. It was. It worked out. We pivoted a couple hours before. Yeah. And we got, this is Old Forester from, and we picked it up from Benz. This is sponsored by Benz Beverage Depot.

501, 7,000. Okay. Sorry. My bad. Yeah. Big green building. I was just expecting you to say that. Yeah. Yeah. This is just your old, typical Boilermaker. This is just, we're dropping it into beer And it's a shot of whiskey and a shot of beer Alright I've been telling you, I got this like Burps, it's ready to come out We'll see when it's going to happen here Logan already did like four of these So we'll let him talk I was going to say, while they're drinking, I'll chat Cheers boys We have a good agreement here at the show That I take care of them This is actually the first time they haven't offered me The drink of the week So I really hope it's good Fuck you, I did too yes i did i don't i don't have one in front of me i don't know what's such an asshole so anyway i literally asked him he's like no i'm good tonight i have a long night that tastes not good what's happening really yeah that tastes different i don't know it's just always done with it i mean we are using 100 proof whiskey it was kind of strong whiskey yeah usually they put the cheap shit in these did it kind of have like a butter flavored popcorn No Stupid There it is. I Erik. Did you see what your shot glasses? That's my favorite shot glass. Oh, yes. I did. Yep. What's it say?

Um, you like cake. You son of a bitch. I do like cake. Well, I forgot we're keeping this PG, so I can't say. Well, um, yesterday was kind of a big day. What happened? It was one of our buddies' birthdays. Who? I don't know. What's his name? Come on, Erik. What is this? What is this? It's your birthday to me Erik! Erik! It's your birthday to me Can you record this? What do you think I did while you guys were outside? You're on the road and celebrate You'll use control and you cut the chain The night is yours You get to be away You're on the road and you're on the road Closest mates It's your birthday today Erik!

Yeah! It's your birthday Happy birthday buddy I like it, it's pretty metal That's as much as I've listened to honestly I tried to find one, so this is so funny how this worked out I obviously we knew we were gonna talk about your birthday today I go in today to get my beard trimmed up and Zach shout out my barber at men's room at men's room, he was like, they were playing, it was like one of the barbers' birthdays and they were singing this birthday song and I think his name was EJ. And it was that but it was like, EJ! And he's like, dude there's every name on YouTube. Like you can just YouTube it and you can find any name and it's just this metal version. So that's what I found and I sent it to Logan and I said, I keep finding all these like silly ass ways that I could have been monetizing shit on YouTube. Right?

Like, I can make that song. Oh yeah easily, yeah. Yeah, the bar is so much lower than you think it is. Right. Still, yeah. Yeah, we tend to try to jump too high Hey, we don't don tongs calm. Hey, I will say I had fucking no idea you plan that you made us go outside Is this what you're planning inside? Yeah? Yeah, okay? I'm the person who walked it into that. Well, yeah, well, I had no idea I just legitimately want to tell you happy birthday and let it let our list There was no it was a need-to-know basis and you didn't need to know all right Just knew I was gonna walk right into it, right? Just I was gonna be a good guy and say happy birthday to him so so but of course Shaun and I got you a gift you know and so What are you laughing at you haven't even opened it yet. I see the bag. What's it say?

BLOW OUT YOUR TANDO! I don't know if this will show up on the video Happy birthday, motherfucker! It looks like a bag you'd give like your 90 year old grandma It looks like something my grandma would open, but it says happy birthday motherfucker But you can totally slide that in. That is great. That is wild. I love this. That is wilding. The bag is worth the price of admission here. Yeah. Let's say, hold on to that. That bag is getting reused. That was the best $5 I've ever spent. I'm worried about this because I know what came out last time. What? Wasn't that for my birthday that you returned the favor from...

What was it? From your birthday? What was it? You got the creature cocks cock ring. It was a creature Cox Cochran, but I did look for those. They didn't have any. Literally. It's still in the package at home. Aww. Why? So with summer coming up and we live at the pool, I got you the next best thing. Dick squirt gun. So yeah. Sure. I'll put some milk in there. Oh boy. Not at the pool. This could be hot. It's gonna curdle in there. You don't want that. Yeah. We got a new dad joke calendar. Right. In case you explore dad jokes. By the way, when I went to Da Bin store for the first time today, I found that.

That's awesome. That's how we spend a dollar. See? Worth it. I know we're a little into the year, but that doesn't mean the dad jokes aren't good. Erik, will you take your dick off the table here, ladies?

Oh, there it is. I love that. A bag of sour dicks. Sour dicks. Everyone needs a little sweet treat. Who's this? I had this feeling through my legs, but that did not help. What was it? Please tell me that was on camera. It was a dick in a box. That's gonna come in handy. Dude, I know. So by the way, that came fully packaged and I was like, no, fuck that. Like, I was sitting with Logan today, I unwrapped it and like, tucked it all in. Yeah. Oh, that's so good. Yeah, you know what it is. And no one expects it to pop out because it's such a tiny box. That's awesome. Everyone loves a tiny box. That was well done because you said all those things you're like, oh, and then I got him a dick in the box that it's gonna pop out he won't even know it.

And it seriously stepped out and he scared himself. He almost dropped it. I can't wait to see that again. I'm so excited to see that. Can we, I, by the way, if we could find a way to get that like five seconds just slow-mo and feel like, like, yeah. Here, do you want some saverages? Hey, those dicks are for your mouth only. Shaun, put a dick in your own thing. I don't need a dick.

Happy birthday, buddy. We love you. Yes, happy birthday. Well done. Yeah. We had to go local. So thanks, Lindale Mall. Lindale Mall. All the dicks you can want.

It was in Cedar Rapids. Yeah. Yeah. It was probably owned by some company. Imported from China. Yeah, I know, right? Hey, okay. In my defense, I came up with this idea a little late. so like all things i do it's the thought that counts i mean yeah eric half-baked plans always we should only say his name like that from now it should be so i had i i did i went on a little adventure tell you guys about my adventure yeah yeah yeah your birthday adventure you know i've kind of had a little bit of change in job recently and a little extra time on my hand so what's that like some buddies were like we're going camping for like a week and i was like yeah let's do it so the weather was kind of weird because it was like cold yeah it was like really cold one day and then it was 70 degrees the next day just so fucking back and forth like it has been here when you said you're going camping i'm like really like right now this feels like a little like monday's gonna be great tuesday's gonna suck but yeah it's little early but it's you know it was kind of when people were going and uh it's a cool place buddy mine has a bunch of ground in missouri and a bunch of ground it's just a neat it was a neat experience you did some manly camping like this is like this is not for the faint of heart here yeah and i have i i mean i've put some time and money into having some nice stuff yeah you're a camper so actually so you can show it up i mean well also just like i want to be able to like adapt to situations a little bit.

If you're going to buy a sleeping bag that you can sleep in the freezing cold, you want to be able to make sure that it works. Yeah. I did decide the one that I fucking got on Amazon. So it was a zero degree bag. It is not. That's bullshit. It is as long as it's accompanied by another one that lays over you. Right, yeah. I added the zero degree bag to the 35 degree bag and it was warm enough. I mean, it didn't get it didn't get below like probably 30 at night most nights but still outside yeah yeah but are you okay so would you rather it be that or would you rather it be 90 outside that that's what i would like 90 and no humidity is fine but like when it's like 100 degrees and and or 90 and humid yeah i would rather have the cold but you also don't have to fuck around bugs or any of that stuff too so like that like outside of the temperature if you can stay warm enough they don't freeze then you get the benefit of all that other shit except they're still in hell fucking ticks really yeah there weren't as many because it was colder yeah there were like they've had years that they've done this they were finding ticks everywhere and like as soon as you went out off of a path you were they were crawling up yeah dude oh yeah it's bad i've never went through ticks like that like i've had a tick as a kid uh i'm bald now i think that helps but like my dog got one once but but like i heard trash more where we live there it's a big walking yeah i heard they're

terrible they're terrible out there oh really yeah every time everyone talks about it aaron won't even take lola out there anymore she took her one time and she had three tickets on her yeah really but dude we need to do another conspiracy theory podcast because i just the other week heard how there's this huge conspiracy about like the government or someone is like like they're upping the tick population to get people lyme disease really dun dun dun uh have you heard about the new there's it's not lyme disease it's a different disease that you can get from ticks where you you're allergic to meat what what yeah uh i'll look it up trigonosis no that's from eating there's something um tick diseases red meat uh yeah it came up right away alpha gal syndrome ags is a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction to red meat what and it's triggered by the certain certain ticks the lone star tick is the basic the main carrier most commonly in the u.s the lone star tick i mean at least it's only red meat that's good so i could still eat chicken or is that all meat?

It says beef pork lamb is what it says here. I mean, that would piss me off, but at least I still get some chicken. This is fucking depressing as hell. Let's move on to something else. Erik! You know what? There's no ticks in the fucking lake, alright? So that's why we swim. There's other shit, but no ticks. I brought that up only because I hate being super hot. So I'd rather sleep in 30 degree and just bumble the fuck up instead of bugs so that's what i was thinking about fucking ticks well yes you also don't camp like you don't want to camp yeah i call that you know the the super eight that's me offering that's me that's me really wrong no sean is not what if you had like a like a little more luxurious like a camper oh for sure yeah that's different okay but what about like uh so like i have a really nice tent that literally takes two seconds you just throw it on the ground pull the side i mean here's the I can man up for a little while and do it for a couple days.

It's awesome. I'm not sure I could go do it for five days like you did, but I could go do it for a couple days. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I set up my tent, sets up in two seconds. I throw a cot down sleeping bag. So here's where it's opposite. Like you said, you spent a lot of time and money kind of building up your stuff for it. I walk out and I got nothing. like i have a pair of boots because like i use them for snow boots and for you're fine but that's what i'm saying like i don't have any of the stuff to do it and so anytime i've been invited to go do something like that i like well i not going to go spend all that money right now for this sure one part of it so that i think that a big you do have to like part of it want to exactly or just to be around everyone that wants to do it like i also my circle just has never been yeah big into doing that so it's it's much less but i am still a little softy so let's like i do i do i do i have a skincare routine that needs to be done and i just want to make sure no I get it but but yeah I mean like going with Erik you always you do rag bra and you camp off your bike like you do the all that kind of shit but I'm the same as Shaun I don't have a lot of the stuff but like if we're camping like in the middle of nowhere and we're like rucking it that's different but it's like I'm so confused I forgot for those listening at home when you went to the bathroom I was trying to fuck with you yeah Shaun's drinking bottles and when when he went to the bathroom

before Erik's like should I hide his bottle kind of like this is eric's way of saying maybe sean's having too much a drink we should take away his bottle opener is this what's going on here so don't worry crisis averted he's got a new beer i actually wanted to don't judge me never tell a navy man not so yeah anyway camping good stuff so uh camping rewrote four-wheelers shotguns it was just a good night and like we were talking about before like no light pollution out there so like fucking beautiful sky beautiful moon that's what i love like i just want to be out with no light like it's so gorgeous at night to just look up it's like i kind of sometimes until i go out and do that i forget how bright the stars can be it's crazy it's like i think about the drecho like when we had no power yeah and how bright it was for those like few days and it's like man you know and we don't even have it as bad as a lot of places because we have lots of area yeah like imagine la yeah like la new york or just these massive cities that don't even remotely get it right like we still have some light pollution out even by me where there's lots of farm ground and everything um but to be like where you're at where you're talking about it's funny though there's like 400 you know or whatever like where you are out there with no that's beautiful because even out at your guys's place i think it's gorgeous because there's less than in town like where i'm at it is but then it's like just i'm just comparing to back the derecho when it happened and even that was out and it was like it felt like it felt like you

could touch the stars it was so bright you know what i mean like it was yeah like you was like right there so um so yeah then to be in that level we almost oh my god our producer almost died did you punch yourself with the mic nope he would have That's what we like to call trust in the chair. Put a little too much faith in the chair. This chair's a little broken. It is now. I keep forgetting to replace it with a different one. So reason number 700, can we get a fucking camera on this guy? That would have been a great clip. I mean, it's not quite the Kelsey's brother or the New Heights podcast. You see that word?

No. Travis broke one of Taylor's chairs. All of a sudden he's sitting there. He's like, bang. She's going to be so mad. She's going to kill me. Oh no, if only she had enough money to buy another one.

But you know with her, that thing was special. It has nothing to do with the cost. It's just how hard it is to get. Well dude, you're engaged to a big boy now. You better step your fucking game up. It's time to weld on some special brackets. She's probably like, don't sit in my chair, big boy. We call those BBBs. Big boy brackets. You want that special D that you're singing about. You're gonna need some re-implacers, right?

Alright, so cool. That was the key that opened my thoughts. Sorry, are we cut? No, no, no. Yeah. What do we got? No, no. Really quickly, before we move on, I think those lamps are fucked. Can you just, like, reach... Can you just, like, untwist it and twist it back in? Shaun, you gotta do that. I can't reach that. What? No, you gotta... Sorry, reach in and, like, twist the lamp untwist it and twist it back in. No, they're smart lamps. They're smart bulbs. I have them. Oh.

No, in the top. Yeah. Got it. Did it work? Oh, what happened? Did it work or what? What happened? Did you get it, Shaun? What happened? I knew it was going to be... As soon as they said it, I'm like, there's no fucking way. Shaun, you've got to still fix the lamp. Yeah. Erik fixed his. Go fucking get it yourself.

So, if you're listening at home, we recommend going to YouTube or Spotify and watching the video. So what I did is I opened with Ice Ice Baby. I normally ice Erik on his birthday in the gift bag. I felt like he's expecting it. It's boring. So me and Logan cooked it. By the way, you know what the plan was while I kicked you guys out of the room? I was going to tape them under your chairs. The bottom of these chairs is like a little bit velvety. The duct tape wouldn't stick. Yeah. And then I tried to do it under the table, and I did. And then I heard a kkkk, and I'm like, I don't trust it. So Logan's a genius and came up with the lamps.

It actually would have been funny, not for Logan in the studio, but if one just fell down it would be what I was scared of is it's metal brace underneath and I was afraid it would shatter and then I'd feel like an asshole for the record I want everyone to know when you wanted me to go there I knew what was going to happen but I can't let you out you can't let me down did you get that burp out yet you're about to if you haven't it's about to get ugly but I'll proudly do it with you happy birthday buddy so yeah while these guys chug I will say my still cool rate for the week is icing people because we love doing it.

I think it's fun. The answer is no. I think it's hilarious. I love it. I know there's a lot of people who are like, that's a mature, stupid, whatever, dude. It's just fun to do. Shaun killed that. He murdered that.

Holy shit. Are you okay? That was that one and the one. That's the one I was trying to get out from earlier. That was impressive. That felt fantastic. I'm sorry. Hey, look at me. You're welcome. so if anybody wants to know how to beat me in a chugging contest it is a bottle it is a bottle yeah eric can't eric eric will beat you in a shotgun most people but yeah i can bottle it all day long yeah i have mastered the vortex thing some people can do that i can't do that i've tried it well i can't do it because i need to take a little bit of a break like in that vortex it just keeps it like you got to be able to like relax your throat and just take it all for the record when i went and bought those earlier there's so many flavors of that now it's crazy that great it's not bet so i was pretty happy with you guys only one i had layla with me and i go i'm gonna ice eric for his birthday she obviously knows what it is and i was like pick a flavor she goes green apple i go that no we don't do that that's mean it's so bad like i know it's so bad and she goes grape i go grapes good i'm like there's like 12 flavors i'm like just not honestly as weird as the original is almost the worst i agree it's terror like oh it's just like chalky white it's just white it's It's like just the blue and the white are the most.

Look at me. It's like creamy white. You understand? What if I put it in the sword gun? That'd actually be perfect, honestly. That won't curdle. By the way, please don't bring that to the pool. It made sense for summer, but I'm like, I don't want to explain it.

It also, it wasn't that cold. It was a little cold. It wasn't that cold, though. I tried to not have them freezing. By the way, when you wanted to put beers in my cooler, I was like, I don't know if there's room. It's because they don't want you to see the ices that I had in there. Well, I knew you would ice him. I just didn't think I was going to get caught in the loop. Well, if I'm going to get one, there's two lamps. There were two lamps. Yeah, see? That's what you had to do. So anyways. I already know where this is going. Where? Where, Erik? Getting forward mounted on my bike. Yes! That's genius.

Pew, pew, pew, pew. Do you think we can find a machine gun dick to put on Shaun's boat? Like a turret? That's what we need, yeah. Multiple dicks? All right. Just to be clear, my kid's always right up front, That's not happening. Why? He can shoot it. We can stow it. We can stow it when it's not in use.

Just as long as it'll go too deep into the light. There's a lot of things that could happen. There's one thing that's definitely not going to happen. So, guys, this is a birthday podcast. All right. But really, my still cool right is icing. I think it's cool because I always have a, you know what? It's never mind. It never bothers me to get them. I can take them down. I think it's kind of fun. I like the unique ways that people pull off I like it when it's creative and I get hit with it At the end of the day, I don't think they're great When they're super cold And it burns, then that's like a real Dick move of that thing Or when you hit up The huge one, when you go for the big one That's a real big dick move I've never done that to someone You have? No I didn't You did it during the wedding No Was that done to you? No, that was Nick's wedding and Ben did it to him Ben's an asshole I totally see Ben doing it and he had the big one and Nick had to drink it because I had to deliver it is the point to be a dick to someone though?

I'm trying to I'm trying to understand I've never iced somebody I'm trying to understand the nuances so it's more just like a rite of passage I don't know we've been doing it so long it's like old fun here's the way I would describe it study this as a cultural tradition sure this is the way i would describe it for a uh like somebody not in our friend group that has done it a shit ton of times i describe it as it's like it's like you know a little bit of giving a friend some shit yeah but like you're you're also spending money on something for them so as long as they're not like hey i don't i don't want to drink anymore i'm too drunk yeah it's a it's a it's like just ribbing them but you're buying them a drink yeah By the way, if someone I did it to someone, they're like, dude, I don't feel like doing that.

I'd be like, okay. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I'd just take it myself. Yeah. But here's the thing. So I'll get into why I think it's still cool. Yeah. Is if you actually put some thought into how you get what you just did. Yeah. Like, that's cool. Yeah. If you're just like. You hand it to someone. Oh, here. Fuck you. It's not as fun. Honestly, I'm kind of like, I'll probably still do it if I like you, but if I didn't like you, I'd be like, no, fuck you. That's stupid. Have some creativity. You could really do it at anything. You just hand it to them. It's like, oh, you got it. It's like, we were watching football a bunch at my house last year, and I would put some in the couches before they got there.

Erik almost penetrated me with an ice. I sat down and got scared. And he's like, I'm like, what's wrong? And he reaches down. I was like, God. Motherfucker. right this is surprisingly horny podcast wait hold on which ones aren't they're all a little horny anytime you open up with three dick gifts you know it's gonna be it's gonna set the tone here right don't forget to tell my name i know yeah right there right there it's the dick gifts three dick gifts we are still cool great podcast name yeah three dick gifts that would have been you guys should have wrote birthday songs you'd probably still be together I look at I look at ice and people as just like the ultimate Against whatever Flipping shit you know what I mean You just kind of flip shit you take it You know like it's given back and forth And it's like oh you got me And I'm gonna take it If I'm willing to go buy a six pack to get you Like I love you and I'm just giving you shit And I always look at too Like when it gets handed to me Then I'm also like yeah fuck you and I'll just take it down Like you know I'm gonna take it to you i'm not i'm gonna power it down right away and no big deal so i don't think of it as like terrible you know i think i think it's fun and i think it's that that culture of like flipping the non-drink equivalent is basically like the like smiling middle finger like i i gotcha yeah it's like i'm yeah just giving you i would only do that with a friend i would not do that with

someone i don't like yeah like i'm not spending a dollar on you you know what i mean like not Not that these are expensive, but it's like, I'm no, I only do it. Cause I like, by the way, for anyone, not in Iowa, that's listening to this icing. I just realized this. Oh, cause some people might not even know what it is, is when you find a unique way for someone to find a Smirnoff ice, it can be any flavor, but like I, I, by the way I have so many stories of the way people have got people before, but like there was a friend of mine went on a, like a camping trip with his guys for the weekend. And the first guy that got there went around and he hid them in like the most random places and he's like they were finding them all weekend he had like 24 of them but it's like so they were like an eight bedroom like airbnb and so i put one in a dresser drawer he put one in the closet he put one like under the pillow so all weekend long they're just like fuck right and like you would just randomly hear people yell so it's just it's hilarious i think it's hilarious to do and it's it's not like necessarily just an iowa thing it's no i know i've seen a bunch of stuff go out and the real traditional way is like you're supposed to get on one knee and do it like you're supposed to get on one knee and when you drink it yeah see and i didn't even know that for a long time like someone's like why don't you get i'm like i didn't know that was a thing i just thought i had to drink the whole you know chug it down but yeah and i now i'm just having a flashback i think on like one of our first episodes ever like one through five when like the audio wasn't good i think we talked about this a little bit because i iced you you did ice me and it was your birthday wasn't it oh yeah oh fuck that's that's what kicked this whole thing off i got you on your birthday yeah yeah because like i get people when we do our friendsgiving

every year and like we do the white elephant i usually try to sneak an ice somehow like i know you've drank one before for that uh fucking ben got ben asshole ben that we were talking about i love him he got me one year by putting an apple watch case and he's like i got you a gift and it was like so well wrapped and i don't know he like evened out the weight i felt no glugging and i was like you didn't get me an apple watch i still didn't expect an ice though i was like you fucking asshole he's one of those people it's like it's really not realistic that he would get you an apple watch but it's not out of the realm right if somebody was going to it would have been yeah yeah but also i thought but you're also going like i knew it'd be an apple watch but i thought like it's still gonna be something i'm gonna enjoy yeah and he instead he was like fuck off so yeah so to be clear this is not remote producer ben jetherler no no no that's a little different because we talked about that but yeah um so i i think it's cool i i would i would give it a so cool at least for i agree me it's fun if we do it just a fun thing to do i think it comes down to just like any joke if you're receptive to yeah if you want to play yeah you know if you're not cool that's fine too yeah i mean if you're in general it's cool if you're gonna stomp around throw a fit you're just probably not the type of person to hang out with anyways we're just probably not for We're probably not going to see eye to eye on a lot of things.

It's just generally a good start. We're just probably not going to see eye to eye on a lot of things. I was going to say, my wife loves to have fun, but you don't ice her. She's just going to be like, no, fuck you. I'm not taking it. I did get her one year. She's like, Erik, do this. When we did the adult Easter egg hunt at your house, I got both of you guys. She was a champ. She went on a knee, I think, and chugged it. Every once in a while, she'll do it, but it's mostly not her thing. She's not a big chugger or shot. No, yeah. Not everyone is. You've got to know the crowd a little bit, I'm just saying.

Amen. All right. What do you got, Mike? I just did it. Wait, Shaun, go look in that lamp. I was looking down to cross you up. Did you put a little one in there? It's really just a little broken. Logan's going to be on the floor at the end of this podcast. Do you want some duct tape? No, it's fine. I have more chairs. I know there's one right there. I have kind of an interesting one. Um, this is related to like something my daughter has started doing and it's kind of, I don't know, I thought it had gone by the wayside a little bit. Country line dancing. Oh, okay. Okay.

That is so not what I thought you were going to say. But that is a good one. That's a really good one. So she, uh, started going out to Swisher. She listens to the country? I didn't even know that. No, I mean, she does. She loves all kinds of music. what's it called what's it dance more yeah yeah a friend of hers oh yeah it brought her back was going to wow yeah a friend of hers said hey let's go out and do this and they and they they even do like um the some of the wedding songs like that i would consider they're not country line dancing but oh like but there's tons of country line dancing songs that like or there's a dance dance to there's a line dance dance to lots of songs like that you wouldn't just but i mean they they do things that are not just country they'll do like the keep it shuffle and other things like i was trying to think of those wedding ones it was driving me crazy thank you so but like um she's been going out there like frequently yeah like at least a couple times a month with her friend and her friend loves it her friend took her like basically said hey come hang out they went and did it and she loves it and there's a bunch of other people that do it it's like this whole community because my niece was doing it and then she went to college in North Carolina and she found a bar that did it and went there and then she made all these friends just from being a part of that type deal I had no idea that came back where's Dancemore at?

I don't remember you know where the black squirrel is Right across the street. Right across the street. I knew I knew it. Right across the street. Okay. So I remember back in the day, we used to go to, I don't remember the name of the bar, but there was a big one. They used to do it. And we would go out there and we have fucking no clue what we're doing, but we used to go out there and jump in the middle of a crowd full of girls and do it And then we bump into it and they like oh you do it this way And it was like we met so many girls this way Teach me Mama It was fucking awesome. Like, we would go in there, and you'd watch us all spread out to different areas, like a flock of girls, and just jump in, and then, oh, I'm sorry.

You know, and the next thing you know, they're like, teach me how to do it. I've never done this before. And then all of a sudden, you know, that's what motivated us to go out there, to meet people. Next thing you know, we're like knowing every fucking line dance and skipping and doing all the twists and turns, the whole damn thing with it. But it all started with the hunt for women. You had so much more game than I did. I was sitting over there. I'm like trying to watch a video. Shaun's just never giving a fuck. I was like watching a video to figure out how to do it. Which is the best way, by the way, to have game is to not care.

It was. I was just. You're willing to put yourself out there. Well, I can dance. Oh, my God. Yes. Yes. Yes. I just hit myself with a face again. This is the greatest podcast ever. That one wasn't like a full-on punch. Logan almost took himself out. Shaun's having a stroke and punched himself in the face. I'm eating a bag of dicks. Buddy, I'm chilling.

Watch it. No, I just, I can dance. So, like, I would always be confident with that, but then just kind of play the, oh, oh. What do you mean you can dance? What's that? How do you know you can dance? I am confident that I can go on a dance floor at any wedding, and I generally get people going. Yeah. You would, I don't know. Shaun just has fun, and so people have fun around. I have rhythm. I know I can actually get out in the middle of the thing and start dancing, and people have fun with it. What he's really saying is that he has confidence. I've never heard somebody, not in a performance setting, so confident about their dance ability.

That's so interesting. I'm very much like a wedding dancer. get me out the big group like that and i will go out and all day long i'll get it going like he's not saying he'd go to a tcr and try out i'm not like no i'm not like that but like i got rhythm i can dance with people i go out and have a blast doing it like i'm very comfortable with doing that that's so it's a bigger part to just not like i get in my head about that shit yeah just like karaoke get in my head about it and i don't do it because of that yeah no i don't and i get out there and I just have a blast and I can get out there. Like you get me in there with, you know, some 50 year old women and we're just dancing. Like they're just having the, that I can do it all day long. Well, it's easy when you're hanging out with people like your age, like 60 year olds.

Hey, jealousy is burning hot over here. All right. I'll just say some older women. So that, that worked out well, but like, I've always been fine with it. And yeah, maybe I'm not, I know I'm good enough that I can be out there. You're good enough to never have fun around. There's some people that are way better dancers than me, but I can... The reality is it doesn't matter. If you're good enough to feel that you are good enough, that's what matters. 80% of people just want that. So that's where I would get out and have fun, and then it led into good conversations of that stuff. No, that's great.

But then we were super into line dancing. But it's fucking actually fun. It is actually a lot of fun. I've gotten better at, so like doing the wedding DJ stuff, I got a little bit better at some of the ones that are popular in that aspect. So like, if you get really complicated with dance moves and line dancing, I'm no good. But if it's, you know, six steps and it's pretty repetitive, I'm down. I can do that. I think I could follow it. and even if not i'm comfortable enough to be like there's seven other people out here doing this that don't know what they're doing either right i just think it's cool that like that came back kids need more stuff to do that's exactly why i put this on the list is like i love that my daughter's telling me about this i'm like i didn't know that was still a fucking thing i knew that dance more was there but i was like it's probably a bunch of us and older people you know yeah not younger people so so yeah i i think it i i don't know i love that i just didn't know it was still a thing but dude buckle up because if she gets hardcore you have to buy her like a 400 cowboy hat cowgirl boots the whole nine you know right you know what though i so i think it's like a like a niche thing right like that it's cool that way like i don't know that it's like cool across the board for that thing but if you go and you just kind of let your guard down and kind of learn how to do it it is a fucking blast like because it is very you know line dancing is very step step

step you know i mean it is very repetitive and you can and you can learn it it's not like this different stuff where you gotta do you know i mean you can do it and you can there's like flare you can put in and kick between you can do different things that way but you don't have to right you can do the simple steps and do it along with it and um it is i think it can be one of the like if you let your guard down and you kind of like stopped acting acting cool new school out there you can just have a fucking blast which i will tell you that's how we got into it it was like yeah first we went out to meet hot girls in tight jeans doing this stuff and we did our deal and then we're like this is fucking cool this is actually it's fun a lot of fun and so that's awesome that she's into it like i like i just had this like feeling like i just want to go back and I love that Erik brought up the wedding, like the Cupid Shuffle and stuff because it's the same, you know what I mean?

That is line dancing. People would be like, well, it's not country line dancing. No. It's fucking line dancing. You're all doing the same steps to the same song and a certain rhythm. Well, the whole reason why it's line dancing is because if you look down the line everybody's doing it and then they spin and then the line goes that way. It's supposed to anyway. It's not I mean, there's country line dancing but the term line dancing comes from what it looks like you know it's like a it it became more popularized because of country line dancing yeah because there were so many songs that were meant kind of for that but then there were more wedding songs that came this is gonna with you guys i think you might know this so hold on a second eric did you do you know what taninkling is no do you you did it at all saints right okay because i did but so a lot of people don't know what this is like logan your wife right now if she was hearing this she'd be like what the like i can't believe he's talking about you know what taninkling is logan what are you saying are you having a stroke i know i smell toast it's called taninkling it was like all of like grade school went to a catholic school it you would there was these boards and then these long sticks and you would like go to the rhythm it'd be like click click click click two two click click and you dance through that in between them and they made us do that and i'm like why were you doing this at catholic school exactly that's the weird part we would do it it was like national dance of the philippines yeah right we would do it hey so you spell it i just spelled it like i sounded and google figured it out i was like like t i didn't write it t-i-n-k-winn yeah that's how i spelled it so and marnie said fuck yes i do

see i told you it's a national dance of the philippines originating uh in late during the Spanish colonial era. It was a good workout. It's honestly like fucking, if you're doing the sticks, it's the fucking easiest thing where you're just like literally doing this. It's the most boring. But if you're dancing through them to the song or whatever, it's like your jump broke slowly. Did I just see a TikTok of this? You'll roll an ankle or two. It is like a... Also, if you don't pay attention, they fucking crack that shit on your ankle. It hurts. So if we want to set up, how do I know I'm a good dancer?

So this used to be at All Saints. I was the first one to do it. then the other schools wanted to hear about it so I went on the road to show other schools how to do it and I was one of the dancers that would perform on how to do it road show to all the other Catholic schools so they knew how to do it that's how that was hey grab the URL quickly so I just because I was like my mind's a little bit blown here anyone from public schools like what the hell are you talking about says okay to ninkling a traditional philippine bamboo dance is frequently taught in catholic schools yeah as part of a pe curricula that's what it was cultural days or cultural immersional programs it's basically their way of like bringing some physical activity and culture into the school i i did it did you get it yes you made fun of me and you did it i went well because you're very easy to make fun of.

That's true. I went to Kansas School up in Dubuque my entire childhood educational career. I don't know what you call it. Yeah. But yeah, I did. What the fuck? Where did you go in Dubuque? God damn you. Where did you go in Dubuque? I went to San Anthony's. Dude, we should get a board. I'll fucking dance right through that thing right now. I'll skip. Hold on. You know how like on Bert and Tom's podcast, he was like, I could still dunk. You're going to do that and fucking break an ankle. I could still pull that. I could tunicle in my sleep. I agree. I agree. I think I can too. I did also see a podcast, or not a podcast, a TikTok of this like a day or two ago.

That's crazy. Only because you were talking about line dancing. I was like, we kind of fucking did that. Hey, if you're listening to the phone, I want to see some tunicleing podcasts or some YouTube videos. Oh, yeah. You're getting all of them now. TikToks, come on. We also did line dancing in gym class. See, we didn't do that. We didn't do that. We did line dancing. Oh, so there we go. Look at gym class. We're just way more delivering Filipino than you guys. Sorry. We also, one of my most vivid middle school memories, we had a talent show and a guy I knew did snow and former. Shut up. It was fucking awesome.

Was he good at it? He murdered it? Oh my God. Everybody looked at him so weird because it's a bunch of like country people. He's like, I don't even know this. They were like, I don't even know this song, but he did so good. You know what? That's a guy that has confidence. Was it Shaun? It would have been if I went to Mediapolis school. That would have been me. He came from the big city. Yeah, he did. On his road show. Shaun on his road show.

After I get done with this, I'm going to bust out some tinegling. I need to get ready. He's going to tinegle to inform her. I need some people that keep a beat. I need a couple people to move the sticks. You're a DJ. Give me a beat. That's amazing. so yeah it's an inkling uh google it that's a thing so yeah yeah but i am 100 that i think line dancing is cool and i think it's cool especially if younger kids are doing it like and yeah yeah i think it's way cool like it's really cool though yeah but i i love it like i would do it and i think it's again i just want there to be more shit for kids to do yeah you know what i mean like there's just not enough like growing up we had roller skating rinks and like just things there's no things anymore i feel like or just dancing at a bar right that's true i think that's kind of like you you get to let loose a little bit have some fun like well clearly she's a little young clubs and then that doesn't go well i'm not saying that you're onto something but i'm just like getting it going like you don't have to just go to a bar and drink there's other things to do or you might have a little bit we're just sitting around like looking at each other like come on i know i think you might be on to something though when you think about it like this is group dancing so you immediately feel a little more comfortable like you know you're looking at the crowd and there's seven people that don't know what the fuck they're doing no you can you can do it too right yeah no it's easier to enter than to be like oh i'm gonna go out on the dance floor by myself fellas with a friend trust me the hot girls like to show you how to dance and

they will just just be open to it do it it's worth it also if you're the guy that's not sure you'd like to do it get in there show what you're doing the hot girl will show you how to do it not that my kids fantastic so not that my boys are listening but also they will ask you to buy them drinks and then walk away so just yeah don't again spoiler alert let's not walk away too fast here. Come on. Come on. Come on. What else are you spending money on? Bills? Yeah. Come on. Can you pay my bills? At that age? Yes. Pokemon cards? What do you do? Come on. True. Okay. No. Yeah. Buy them a drink. But they got to come with you. Have a little conversation while you're doing it. Don't just like... Unless you have a big metal detector to pay for. Don't just like, I'll be right back with drinks for you and all your friends.

And then, you know, come on up to the bar with me. Let's go. My first, it was Iowa City. Yeah. I was underage. Yeah, you were. We all were. Went to the bar. Did you get the wrong word? I was dancing with a girl on a dance floor. Go to the bar to get us drinks. She's like, can you get me a drink? Yeah. Went to the bar. Literally got two drinks. Handed her hers, because I'm a gentleman. Yeah. Turned around to pay. She was gone. Yeah. By the way, in case you, if you couldn't understand Erik, that's because he has a sour dick in his mouth. Oh, sorry. It might be. Yeah. No, I love that for you. I was like, I hope he puts these dicks in his mouth.

So I'm honestly just very appeased right now. You know what, though? Hold on. I'm going to say that. So what? So every now and then you have some that bail out. Don't be a person who doesn't buy a girl a drink because you're worried about that. You know what I mean? Because you're going to run into some shitty people that are going to do that. You know what? You might be the one that fucking hits the home run when people are like, how the hell did you land her? You're right. I bought her a drink, but I made her come up there with me. We talked a little bit. You're going to figure it out as you do it.

Have fun with it, man. Figure it out as you do it. Every now and then you're going to get burned. You know what? And hey, at least you bought one for probably the hottest chick in the bar that would treat you that way. but you know yeah maybe not i but we we talked about this on another podcast where it's like the reason people aren't drinking as much because it's fucking expensive well yeah now people are probably more tight-wadded like dude we used to have dollar beers we're like i got you what are you talking about yeah i mean i'm sure there's some sort of special but i do get it but it's like i don't know you're right though the more i listen to that stuff it's like don't be the one that don't let that hold you back yeah fine with spirit off ice yeah yeah do you know you know what my move was after that oh what was your move i'd get a pitcher of beer pitcher of whatever bush life. You poured it on their head? That's so rude.

And I would just have cups, and I would have like six cups underneath my cup. So I could just be like, yeah, I'll get you a drink. Nice. Erik turned into a beer dealer for the rest of the night. But then, I don't know, we'll give you a little half cup to get you started. If you're going to take off, that's what you're going to get. That's where his entrepreneurial spirit started.

Fieldhouse and Iowa City. I'm not shitting. I still have pictures of me just walking around with a picture can you send it into the show so we can put it up there which this is going to be a great segue to my still cool let's get it all right our keg still cool now hear me all the way so okay we've already established like younger people don't drink as much as they used to but like a keg party right we used to do that all the time by the keg um you know and sell cups or whatever you know we used to do that but outside of that i also remember a ton of times that like we would have a keg at like a family thing that we had it might be a pony cake just because a lot of people are going to be there family like it might be what family reunion or just family reunion like a graduation party uh you know it'd be a bigger event you know it just wasn't saturday night yeah and so i'm not talking about someone that has a keg rater because that's its own different thing but i'm talking about like oh we're gonna have a bunch of people over here let's just get a keg of beer whether it's pony or whatever as opposed to buying stuff and um so i'm curious what you guys think about that but i i do gotta say i do have some notes on this because i went to ben's today before i came down there and matt filled me in and kind of where we're at on this but what's your ultimate feeling on it because you did some fucking research well only because i he goes what are you talking about i go i told him this he goes well actually that you say this and i'm like no fucking way like he just schooled me on everything that's going to happen but first i want your gut feeling then i want to tell you what he filled me in on

so i i love this being brought up because it was such a big thing for us growing up like they were everywhere but do it i mean at a young when we're doing at a party we would have it every weekend like i had a party house yeah i bet we had we bought a keg almost every weekend yeah solid you know if there's 52 weeks a year i bet we bought 40 kegs yeah i mean like throughout the you know like my 18th birthday we went through six kegs in like three out not even three hours before the cops came right but like it was all we did also a full keg used to be like 90 bucks i want to say i can't imagine what they are now i got some numbers on it so is that like with a tapper no we had our own because i feel like they used to be a lot of it cheap a lot cheaper like more like 50 60 no a pony keg was but like which was i can't remember the gallon size but yeah like but a full keg was like of like bud light bush light whatever it was like 90 bucks for domestic now i know obviously when the craft beer room happened all of their kegs are the uh assignment a pony keg it's a i can't remember the name it's five gallons yes six till um so but i'm not i'm not necessarily talking about that because that'd be more someone like their own crap yeah but they're never around anymore you're right like no no one gets kegs like you go to a graduation party maybe someone buys some 30 packs whatever but no one does we used to like we bring the thing dump a bunch of ice in it have the keg going all day so that's what i'm saying we would do it like young in college and have parties but then like it wasn't weird for me to go to like my family parties and see it and granted i come from a huge yeah family that

would drink beer so like you know if you were having one there you would get it it made more sense um but you don't ever see that anymore so by the way even weddings like your your wedding like my wedding like it was let's go three kegs you know what i mean like that's what we did but i don't think they do that anymore i got a funny story about that i think in some ways didn you set a record some of those volume prices have gotten better on cans like that true because of what they selling but also with inflation i can again i i excited to hear what a keg is now I can even imagine how much it is Okay So Matt hit me with a little some stats. Hit us with the stats because I don't want to overlap. I have a couple of things that I thought about.

So the big thing, so when I brought up Matt, he goes, well, all right, so when I opened or like when I started this, he goes, a keg was about 70 bucks. You get to say for 70 bucks. He goes, now they're 185. That's less than I expected. It is, but he goes, the big thing is, before you used to, like, you could go to Hy-Vee or wherever, and they would, you could get it, and they'd rent out the tapper. You can't do that anymore. The tappers, like, that is the golden ticket. Really? So, if you still have one, like, we had one, too, because I had enough parties that eventually we had one, or we just never took one back and paid for it.

And so we always had a tapper. But now, you can't get them, like, Hy-Vee can't rent them out. Like they can't do it. Like it's all registered. So, well, yeah, but there, those are even of our Iowa laws of round alcohol and that stuff. It's not easily done. Really? Yeah. So it's more about like, if you have a keg fridge and you have that stuff, sure. Then you can do it and you have a setup and you're, you know, but it's, it's more than just like the weekend person. Like once a year goes, Oh, we'll just go to Hy-Vee, order a keg. They'll give us a tapper. We'll take it all back. They can't stupid.

so they can't even do it down there so that's been the biggest part of it and then the cost of it because the big one was then well the cost per ounce was so much lower it was now it's not you know i mean so now because if you remember also then the biggest pain in the ass is when you would have like a half keg or still to get rid of yeah i mean and you and it was it was a pain in the ass you know i mean so i have a funny story i want to tell you about that yeah so now that's why you know that's what matt said like they don't even carry it down there because it's not really cost-effective it's and it's not cost-effective for people to do it that way anymore i knew the ounce thing was way off because i remember when i got my keg fridge i was like well i'm gonna throw like on one of the taps like michelob ultra just like for the people who are drinking that yeah because at the time i was drinking crap beer a lot but it wasn't worth it like i saw the price of it versus buying 30 packs and it was literally like a cent cheaper per 12 ounce it was like the it wasn't so it's lost that more of a status symbol than it is a like yes yeah yeah you know it's more about the cool factor almost than it is the actual like yeah value yeah yeah it's lost its luster for that so i didn't even know that like i knew they were expensive but like he said he goes the cost of beer hasn't gone up from you know do the math from 70 to 185 like so all they did was raise the cost per ounce and it used to be you know because i remember a few times doing the math going we got like 15 people here and everyone's going to get a case like we just get

a cake like what are we doing here this is stupid you know good type deal so real quick i'm gonna i'm gonna throw some theories at you because i think some of our good friends that are in the industry are going to be like they're either going to be really mad at me or they're going to be like he's fucking right um and this is not my research part hey brewery friends but so think about it when it comes down to delivering especially domestics like thinking about bush light bud light the the more common what we talked about keg yeah if you had a turn on what they you had we were never getting up yeah i mean nobody's nobody's getting a a keg of clock house or something like that back then yeah because it wasn't it wasn't really a thing um so and even if it was the price was you know well back then we weren't drinking it like at least i was like yeah so so for a keg of bush light think about the distributor has to deliver said keg yeah they have to take this giant ass barrel of beer 100 pounds to to the place and it takes up xyz space like think about you could for a keg size you can probably put at least 230 packs if not more oh more oh more yeah yeah and then like it just comes down to like the the space the moving the value and then the ounces keep creeping up because of that because nobody wants to move

fucking 60 gallon kegs around or whatever 55 gallon kegs fuckers were heavy yeah they're huge i remember like being heavy as shit when i was 20 i was like ah this is fine yeah we would throw those things around now i'd be like my back hurts so i think all of that drove the price up and the people don't care like they don't care if they have it in on tap or a bottle or a can some people do but i'm saying like the majority of people if they're drinking it they're like i don't give a fuck how i get it now you might want a tall boy versus a 12 ounce because you feel like it's a better value somehow but like i also feel like now people like a variety they like their own shit like i you know you might be an easy eddie you might be in uh this you might be you know i mean everyone's got their own little different options were slim their options were slim it was kind of like and then a lot of times we'd say when it came out like hey you can't fucking tell which one of like you didn't know what it was anyway so it's like you're half in the bag you know but yeah five bucks for a cup and you go to town like you're good to go like bush light yeah light like it was perfect thing because you sell it for five bucks a cup everybody get drunk if like i was one of the people that would buy it or our house and we would make enough money to then buy enough you know i mean like it was like it was you know when we would have because we had the party house we'd have it all the time and i will tell you for nostalgia reason you know when you pick up that keg and you fucking carry it downstairs you know wherever where it's gonna be at like we'd have it ours is always in the basement so it took two of us get down there but you know

we had our own special trash can already with it that nothing else went into it and that was and once you tapped i think it was like you fucking knew tonight was gonna be awesome yeah you know i mean like you carry it down it's like you're setting up for the party everyone you know like for our house we would clean up because there's three of us live together have it together two of us setting it up we'd have a bar in the basement we had everything but it was like setting that thing down pouring the ice on it tapping it letting it calm down going through a couple pictures of foam oh yeah and then but i just can picture myself right now wearing my best outfit what i was gonna do cologne on like just fucking feeling it you know what i mean and like it was gonna be a fucking great night it was gonna be a great fucking night there was something romantic about it.

The sound reason I'm just like, take me back to those days and I could know that there was about to be 60 people coming through this house that was going to be fucking blast with music playing and oh. I will say you can't do a fucking keg stand with a 30-pack of a flight. I'm like, I just got sad. There's a mountain of kids out there who are never going to do a keg stand. Matt said that he goes, I would venture a guess. There's a ton of kids out there that have never done a keg stand. That's crazy. Shout out to you, man. Yeah, you nailed it, buddy. And Mike just said it, but yes, that's what he said.

He goes, there is a bunch of... Logan, have you ever done a keg stand? Next podcast, I'm bringing in a pony keg. Right. We're going to hold you up, baby. So I wasn't as cool as you guys in college or anything.

So the only time I've ever gotten kegs was when I worked at New Bo City Market. Oh, yeah. Because we had access to them. Sure. So I'd take them on camping trips. That was a big thing. Oh, see? That's great. Fuck, yeah. It was awesome. Camping with a keg is genius. Dude, you just hit me with another nostalgia. It just shivered through my body when you were like, we're going camping. I watched you walk into that wall. Yes. Also, you will camp if we bring a keg. You fuck yes. Talk about full circle.

And I know other people did keg stands. I don't know if I ever did one, but I held some legs. Oh, yeah. You've at least been a component of a keg stand. I've been keg stand adjacent. yeah okay cool so you want i was trying to like place it generationally you know like you're a little bit younger and so i was just trying to think of like yeah when did it stop when did it start to stop but yeah but it also we were doing like specialty beers it was expensive like we were investing yeah see no this was just getting drunk and it was five bucks yeah what what's the cheapest we could get oh yeah that would have been running the bush well bush that wouldn't that would have been a ghetto beer.

We're like, no, we're high level. We're like Miller Lite, Bud Light, Coors Light. That was our classy ones. I think the first one we did was a Lionbridge bridge beer. That's a great one because it's for ABV. So you can drink a ship one. Yes, it's expensive. It's hard to get. I never hear anybody talking about it anymore. I don't even think about it, to be honest, as an option. Ashley hit me with the other day when we were driving mine. She's like, Just about that. I'm trying to remember. That's a genius one. What? I was trying to remember. Yeah, I was trying to remember where. I thought you meant like a specific beer.

No, she just hit me. She's like, oh, my God. Because she was the same way. Like, I get it. I'm in the Irish family that's a large family. We may have had more beer at our place. But even Ashley's family was like, no. She's like, you'd see it at theirs, too. So it wasn't unusual. It made economical sense back in the day. Yeah, it's exactly what it was. But it was, yeah. Well, and you guys touched on it too, the big thing that I was thinking about, which is that everybody's drinking different things. And it's not even just beers, but it's like it's seltzers and it's wines and it's whatever. That's why I said our options were shit like back then.

And that's part of what I said. There used to be an expectation that you would just show up to a party, right? And they would supply everything, right? Everything's BYOB now. And then now you always bring whatever you want to drink. And then the expectation is that you'll have food. You'll have that covered unless it's a potluck type thing. but generally like for us that have parties a lot at our house we generally make the food and then it's like but i'm you can drink anything i have but i don't have enough for the whole you know like right i think that's about what you would like you know but back in the day in the sense of like thinking about what people like because i remember like if it was a kegger i didn't really care right i was like i'm fine now miller light was my last choice like yeah but I would still like if it was my first it was yeah it was part of the like it's part of the deal I'm like fuck yeah I'll drink it yeah like I'm not like yeah it's not that wouldn't be the keg I picked up but like yeah but I didn't have to pick up the keg so I'm gonna go yeah right yeah there's also so much less and we talked about this in previous episodes there's so much less of the drinking to get drunk yeah that's true right yeah like if you're drinking a keg you're drinking a lot of the same thing yeah and you're probably like you would say you don't care what's there you're showing up and you're drinking and you're getting drunk right yeah i even just want to have a beer even if i'm not getting drunk i just wanted to have a beer but like if i don't have to bring my own beer and a cooler and all that shit that's cool like yeah but i could just take off your keg but to logan's point you don't care what the beer is like you just wanted alcohol like you wanted a beer with it like you wanted to be but you're not you're not being picky like oh i found this great

thing i want to share it's like it's like going to a wedding if you like whatever they have on that's what you're gonna drink you're not byo being to a wedding and again if there's a bar you can go buy your own. I'm hoping to get a buzz enough that I can talk to that hot chick and I'll have enough confidence to do it. Right. And then take her out on the dance floor, show the moves. That's right. Or countryline dance or do karaoke. Whatever, yeah. And hopefully I get her on the dance floor before I have too many of those beers. And just remember, like we said last episode, don't take your wife and your girlfriend to the same place. That's awkward.

You know what I mean? Yeah, it gets weird. So I know we're getting tight on time. We're a little bit over. so uh um so i did want to say hold on about kegzo did we need to say i i'm gonna say i think it's still cool but as a populace i know it's just not it'll always be nostalgic to me well after matt broke it down to me i'm like and it's not cool because it's just not that it doesn't have the same but if you went somewhere there was a keg how would you do that's what i think i think it's cool but in a different way yes yeah right absolutely it's i'm trying to think what's like kind of gives me like the cigar conversation too yes yes of like this is cool but it's different now it's like more of a specialty thing yeah i feel like i could invite my friends right now like my like those views like i'm getting a keg like all of you guys would be like i'm you know we're getting a keg and just so don't bring anything tonight we're we're drinking keg beer i got a keg and i feel like you guys would all be like that sounds fun you know just come out to do it that way really interesting if you invited me over and you were like let's get a kick i'd be like how okay yeah but if i came over and there was a keg there i'd be like yeah this is cool yeah yeah exactly exactly like it's weird but then everybody that's been at ones that have done it they'd be like all right i'm down for uh i'm down for uh yeah relive it so we might have to test that this summer i bought a cake party at the pool last time i bought a keg i bought a keg not something i brewed myself bought a keg for nathan's graduation party yeah i think i drank that yeah I did. It was

awesome. It was pretty much gone within a couple of days of his graduation party. I mean, I had to put a little bit of work on myself. What ten was it? It was like a small fin. It was like five and a half gallons. I don't even remember all the terminology anymore. It was dimensional. It was a good craft. It was a fancy one, but still. But I was like, fuck it. Let's do something nice. There you go, friends. Drink some kegs. It'll bring it back. So I will say I was kind of with Logan. It's cool if like you intend to do it and there's nostalgia and also that, but I don't think it's cool in the sense of people aren't buying kegs of Bush light unless they're a bar.

Yeah. It just doesn't make sense. Yeah. When it comes to literally does the rest of the world think it's cool. Keg beer volumes have declined steadily for nearly a decade. Sure. Yeah. it's down like 11% since 2018. That doesn't surprise me at all. It all totally makes sense. Part of it's the laws, too. Like you were saying, no one even advertises it as an option. I don't ever think of it. You have to special order them. They used to have them on hand. They don't even do that anymore. Right. Well, just let alone, if you need to have a tapper to do it because they can't run it to you, even if you get a keg, if you don't have it, they'll be like, that's your fucking problem.

If you guys want a keg, I got all this stuff. Oh, I know you do. Shocker. But yes, we will do a pool party this year. I could do four taps. I really want a kegerator for the office. I'll tell you what. I have one with two taps right now. It's a big one. I have one that's four. I think he's looking for a one-hitter. I'll bring it in and donate it. His is wider than mine. Okay, fine. We'll reach out to our friends at Benz and see what we can do. Benz Pepper Cheapo? Matt, if you're listening. 501-7M. That's right. All right, you want to take us out, Erik? Yes. Yeah.
