We Judge Hard Seltzer. Hard. feat our friends at Greyspot Visuals

SPEAKER_04 0:02

Hey guys, we got uh a special little edition podcast lined up today. We're down with some friends, our great spot friends in Rockford, and we're gonna get Igor right here, one of the photographers and videographers, to do a hard seltzer taste off. So we wanna bring a little bit of joy into your life in this uh trying time. And hard seltzers are all the rage, you're at home, you're gonna need to drink some things. So we're gonna do a hard seltzer taste off. I'm going to make Bridget and Igor guess what the flavors are. Uh I obviously know what these are, but we're gonna pour them in random order. We're gonna get some help from Jeff on that one. But we have five hard seltzers. I already have that one out. And uh we're gonna see if we can guess what the flavor is, because you know they're all supposed to be fruits. We're gonna guess what the flavor is, see how good they all are, and talk about our normal stuff. So I'm gonna bring Bridget and Igor in, hide beats from them. Keep watching, keep listening. This is a special time. This is our first ever video podcast, so you can watch this on YouTube. If you're watching on YouTube, thank you very much. But also you can listen if you're listening, thank you very much. So if you're watching, you see a third wheel in our party. Who are you?

SPEAKER_02 1:19

My name's Igor. I work for Gray Spot, and I'm a photographer and videographer here.

SPEAKER_04 1:24

So Gray Spot does a lot of the videos you've seen us do, and uh, we thought for our first video one, we should have like we can think of no one better.

SPEAKER_02 1:33

The real setup. Put the person on the wrong side of the camera. Right.

SPEAKER_04 1:36

And we also want somebody else to try these hard seltzers along with us. So we got Igor, because Igor's a party. So, Jeff, Jeff, bring us the first seltzer.

SPEAKER_03 1:44

I don't know what that means. So no pressure. Doesn't it look like a party?

SPEAKER_04 1:49

So each one of these seltzers, so we have the five different seltzers, you guys tell what they are. Uh why do I get the one that's most full of seltzers?

SPEAKER_00 1:56

It's like how the cup full this tastes like.

SPEAKER_04 1:58

Seltzer that's supposed to be some sort of fruit. Like it's sparkly water, a little bit of alcohol. Fill it like a fine line. And then like fruit flavoring. Um we have to guess what it smells like, what the fruit is supposed to be, and then uh if we think it's good or not. And then at the end we'll we'll figure out if we know what fruits these things are, and if it's our fault or the crappy seltzer's fault.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

We have a really uh high-tech scoring sheet here, so when you see us taking notes, it's for the Well, just to let you know, I have a terrible taste, or taste of smell, a terrible sense of smell.

SPEAKER_04 2:29

I would hope you have a terrible taste of smell.

SPEAKER_02 2:32

I don't know how to.

SPEAKER_04 2:33

Alright, so what do you what do you smell in this? Some kind of fruit. Seltzer once. Some kind of fruit.

SPEAKER_00 2:38

I feel like they're all gonna smell like this.

SPEAKER_02 2:40

You're kind of feeling strawberry.

SPEAKER_00 2:42

I know. Can we talk about it? Because I'll just talk about it. Let's talk about it.

SPEAKER_02 2:46

This is it's not a competition, right?

SPEAKER_04 2:48

No, this is a competition.

SPEAKER_02 2:49

Well, I mean, everything's a competition.

SPEAKER_04 2:51

It's very competitive.

SPEAKER_00 2:53

I am. And also, I don't trust my judgment on hard seltzers. She's gonna win. Yeah, obviously. Uh strawberry, I would agree. Strawberry. We're going with strawberry.

SPEAKER_03 3:01

Smells like strawberries. It's too bad it's not colored to help us out. They're all clear. That's kind of them.

SPEAKER_02 3:08

I mean, do you do you end up with seltzers that have appropriate colors?

SPEAKER_04 3:13

That's smart. Why don't they? Oh, it's because there's like no natural all natural things, and you start putting colors in the colour. Yeah, seltzer's good for you. But seltzer's very healthy.

SPEAKER_02 3:20

You can color things naturally, can't you? I mean, with like or turmeric.

SPEAKER_04 3:27

This is so bad.

SPEAKER_02 3:29

Okay. This is so bad.

SPEAKER_00 3:31

I mean, it's I don't enjoy it.

SPEAKER_02 3:34

Just so you know.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

Well, I think that I'm really great to be tasting these because I love all the regular seltzer, but for some reason hard seltzer is a few. It doesn't taste like strawberry.

SPEAKER_04 3:43

It does not taste like strawberry.

SPEAKER_00 3:44

Yeah, because it's disgusting.

SPEAKER_04 3:46

Alright, so you probably want to know why we decided a hard seltzer taste-off would be an appropriate podcast episode right now, slash vlog episode. And uh hard seltzers, they are all the rage. I saw what you were. People are putting them all over the place.

SPEAKER_03 4:02

And uh also it'll eventually be summer. We're hoping, right? It'll be summer.

SPEAKER_00 4:07

So I I see people drinking hard seltzers all summer long on the boat. That's the only reason I can really think of, but also people that are watching their weight, because these are like awesome.

SPEAKER_04 4:18

100 calories and two grams, four and a half percent alcohol. So a lot of people are getting to hard seltzer. There's a lot of new ones on the market. Yeah, some of these are from big brands, some of these are from small craft breweries. Um, one is an experimental one that we got early access to because it's so cool. Could this be it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what order. Jeff is randomizing us. I just keep drinking it. So hoping it'll be better. So we want to do this because we thought we thought it could be useful to you and maybe a little bit fun to see us drinking at nine in the morning.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

Plus, it's fun. Okay. All right, Jeff, get us number two.

SPEAKER_04 4:55

Get us, get us number two.

SPEAKER_00 4:57

Okay, also we want to know how you feel about hard seltzer. We always love hearing from I can't imagine finishing. I think our waiter, Jeff, needs to be a good idea.

SPEAKER_02 5:06

Okay, I I should I should say I was expecting worse.

SPEAKER_00 5:09

Oh, here you go, Jeff. You get to try.

SPEAKER_04 5:12

You were expecting worse? This is exactly what I expected.

SPEAKER_00 5:15

This is precisely what I have expected in hard seltzer.

SPEAKER_02 5:18

I mean, should I call out the ones that I've that I've tried to do? Okay, so if you know what it is. Well, I don't, I don't know. The only one you've got to I've only had truly? I don't even think I've ever had white claw.

SPEAKER_03 5:27

I've never had white claw either. Okay, so I've had bad judges.

SPEAKER_02 5:31

Bad truly? I've had truly awful.

SPEAKER_04 5:34

I've had lots. Okay. I think they're stopping making truly. You know the other thing that's really good for because it doesn't sell. Truly. It's weird. Uh I had for the first time ever white claw was in Las Vegas. Of course, a better time. Loyalist. Uh, because it was, I'm not a bloody merry person. Oh man. It was 6 30 in the morning and I wanted a drink.

SPEAKER_03 5:54

So white claw was the obvious choice. I got a tall boy of white claw headed down the street.

SPEAKER_02 5:59

So here's here's the question. Were you still up or did you wake up early?

SPEAKER_04 6:02

No, I woke up.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

Who doesn't wake up at 6 30 and vacant?

SPEAKER_02 6:05

Well, or did you stay up till 6 30?

SPEAKER_00 6:06

Yeah, I'm really bad.

SPEAKER_02 6:07

It was at a nightcap. I'm really bad with time changes. White claw night. That's a terrible nightcap.

SPEAKER_04 6:12

So I was I was up. I was up to the case. Just up early.

SPEAKER_00 6:16

And normal people might have coffee with like some kind of cream with alcohol, Bailey's, or Five Farms, but Nick doesn't drink coffee. So white quad was the obvious choice.

SPEAKER_02 6:26

I didn't know that. Yeah. No eggs and no coffee.

SPEAKER_00 6:28

You know what I have for breakfast today? Eggs and coffee.

SPEAKER_04 6:30

Nope, none of that.

SPEAKER_02 6:31

That sounds like a terrible life.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

I know. I know. I almost invited him over for breakfast before we came down, but we only made eggs and black coffee, so.

SPEAKER_04 6:39

Well, I like donuts.

SPEAKER_02 6:40

Is there an allergy thing with eggs?

SPEAKER_04 6:41

No.

SPEAKER_00 6:41

No, I just don't like it.

SPEAKER_04 6:43

Oh, yes, even more for this one.

SPEAKER_02 6:44

What the a tint.

SPEAKER_00 6:48

More carbonation, too, it seems.

SPEAKER_04 6:50

It does. A little bit more carbon. Oh, look at this sense of observation.

SPEAKER_03 6:54

You know, you eat with your eyes for a few.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

It is gray.

SPEAKER_03 6:56

Yes, this is. This has got to be a berry, right? Like. What does this smell like? God. Oh, what does this smell like? This smells like. I'm writing gray and more carbonated.

SPEAKER_04 7:08

Which are both top-notch things. Smells like uh, it's almost like it's got like um like a bitter thing to it a little bit. Like some sort of like herbal.

SPEAKER_00 7:16

Drink a half a cup of malort or something.

SPEAKER_02 7:18

It's kind of tea. A malort. Oh man.

SPEAKER_00 7:21

I can't tell what this smells like at all.

SPEAKER_04 7:26

It's actually like very uncarbonated. That's odd.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

Yeah, it doesn't have any bubbles as much as the last one.

SPEAKER_03 7:32

Oh, when it first turned out it looked more carbonated, okay. So easily go.

SPEAKER_02 7:36

I think these all smell the same.

SPEAKER_04 7:38

No, this is very different. This is very I get, I mean, honestly, I get some sort of like, I can't tell. Uh like almost like Kampari. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 7:46

This is worse than the first one. This one tastes Germany. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 7:54

Alright, we're done with this one.

SPEAKER_03 7:55

Oh my god, this one's really nice. Jeff, bring us number three. Sorry for this one. Alright, so Igor. I have a guest one. We want to uh you try that one just to be.

SPEAKER_04 8:06

We're doing some wedding photography, right? Yeah, a little bit. Everybody's favorite subject is wedding horror stories. Oh boy. So as we're as we're doing this, we want to get some wedding horror stories from you.

SPEAKER_02 8:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 8:16

So we usually do kid corner, but you don't have kids, and we don't want to exclude you.

SPEAKER_00 8:20

So weddings.

SPEAKER_04 8:21

So weddings. Everybody's been to a wedding.

SPEAKER_00 8:23

I used to plan weddings, actually.

SPEAKER_04 8:25

I've been to a wedding. I had a wedding once.

SPEAKER_00 8:28

Okay, Nick had a wedding.

SPEAKER_02 8:29

I also had a wedding once.

SPEAKER_00 8:30

We all had a wedding. Um I used to plan them for years at a hotel downtown Milwaukee. So I've uh seen a few things. Um, but let's start with our guests.

SPEAKER_02 8:40

What's the worst? The worst.

SPEAKER_00 8:42

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:42

Name names. Name and shame.

SPEAKER_00 8:45

So Jessica is I mean to get the ball rolling, I think while while you're thinking, maybe. Recently, this year, I went to three weddings where someone passed out. Oh, one to the groom, once a groomsman, and once a guest. So you're always like left like, are they sick? Did they not eat enough, or are they wasted?

SPEAKER_04 9:03

I do enjoy that. Like relaxing. Right.

SPEAKER_00 9:06

And what is it? So um I think it's probably a combination. The most recent one was the groomsman was sick. Like very legitimate. But also like probably dehydrated, right? So usually. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:16

So usually on the day of, I try to remind the bride to drink as much water as possible.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

And don't lock your knees. That was a thing we always told people when I was doing weddings, don't lock your knees.

SPEAKER_02 9:25

And I've heard so many stories about groomsmen or just anybody in the bridal party just falling right over in the middle of the stairs. I've never seen it happen though. I so badly want to.

SPEAKER_00 9:35

Okay, I've obviously panicked because I'm a panicker.

SPEAKER_02 9:37

And I have to I have to live in this, you know, weird in-between of I really want the day to go well for this couple because I do care about them. But then also content.

SPEAKER_04 9:47

I want to put it on my Instagram of look at this crazy wedding stuff that just happened. Oh man.

SPEAKER_02 9:52

We did we did have an uncle pass out in the bathroom. Oh. But behind the scenes, did you get the behind the scenes? No, there's just a lot of people rushing over there, and we're trying to figure out what happened. I have a friend photographer who said she was shooting a wedding and somebody died at the wedding.

SPEAKER_03 10:08

Oh my god!

SPEAKER_04 10:09

Oh no, this is a happy podcast.

SPEAKER_02 10:11

Sorry. This is supposed to be sorry.

SPEAKER_03 10:15

I just kind of want to get some more.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

Well, it's a lesson. I wasn't at that one, so.

SPEAKER_03 10:24

Back to the delicious seltzer. Number three.

SPEAKER_04 10:28

Oh, this one's less gray. This one's less gray.

SPEAKER_00 10:30

It's a normal water color.

SPEAKER_04 10:32

I've hoped for this one. I mean, the gray one was like flint water color.

SPEAKER_00 10:36

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:38

That was tasted like flint water, I imagine. Oh, this one has a lot of uh like uh kind of like mixed berries, mixed frozen berries.

SPEAKER_00 10:46

It's fresh, exactly. Like this one doesn't make you a lot of vomit.

SPEAKER_04 10:48

It's a little floral.

SPEAKER_00 10:50

Yeah, a little floral. I like that. It reminds me of Jolly Rancher right away.

SPEAKER_02 10:54

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:57

I hope for this one.

SPEAKER_02 10:58

You know what? Oh, you know what I smell?

SPEAKER_00 11:00

Uh oh, don't tell me.

SPEAKER_02 11:01

Pixie sticks.

SPEAKER_04 11:02

Oh, don't I? Oh yeah, pixie sticks. Sticks of sugar. Pixie sticks. It actually feels like this has some sugar in it. There's a little sweetness in this one.

SPEAKER_00 11:12

It was like the first event was better. I would say the best we've had so far.

SPEAKER_02 11:16

It tastes like pixie sticks.

SPEAKER_00 11:18

Yeah, also sticks of sugar. Who doesn't like it? Perfect for the kids.

SPEAKER_04 11:22

At three seltzers down. So to sum up for everybody.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

I don't hate this one.

SPEAKER_04 11:27

Seltzer one smelled like strawberries, and it was so bad, according to Bridget.

SPEAKER_00 11:33

Actually, I wrote rancid.

SPEAKER_04 11:35

It didn't really taste like strawberries, even though it smelled like it. Number two was low carbonated. I thought there was like a Kampari herb thing, but it didn't have a lot of smell though.

SPEAKER_00 11:43

It was just it tasted dirty like it looked.

SPEAKER_04 11:47

Three is the winner so far. Like fresh mixed berry pixie sticks. Clear. A little bit water should be. Alright, alright.

SPEAKER_00 11:58

I mean, okay. I don't know how much else to say besides not as bad.

SPEAKER_04 12:02

Not as bad. So as a wedding photographer, what are your tips to the people as they're getting photographed for weddings? What should you do?

SPEAKER_02 12:11

Don't stare at the camera. First and foremost.

SPEAKER_04 12:15

How many people make blue steel jokes to you?

SPEAKER_02 12:17

Oh, oh, it's not, yeah. Actually, so in within the industry, we it we are trying to figure out if we should create some sort of bingo board that we take to every wedding. Because there's so many things that happen at every single wedding, whether it's you know the cha cha slide or the DJ will mute will mute the song during uh what's the Sweet Caroline? Inevitably the DJ will mute the song so that the crowd can sit can yell it out on the dance floor.

SPEAKER_04 12:48

And do they love it when they don't every time. Every time. Every time. If it doesn't happen, sounds like you do a bunch of like Wisconsin Northwoods white people weddings.

SPEAKER_02 12:56

Oh no, these are downtown Chicago weddings.

SPEAKER_00 12:59

Everyone listens to the same music at weddings. Because people dance. Okay, when I was doing weddings, I also did a lot of uh bar and bot mitzvah's, and the jam was um the fur I got a feeling. That one constant. Yep. I mean, probably four times through every bar and bot mitzvah. Weddings, it was like maybe only once or twice, but everyone danced, everyone sings.

SPEAKER_04 13:19

Yeah, absolutely. When you work, I thought like Mambo number five was big at the bar and bot mitzvahs. Um I don't think so. Because it's good for like it's good for, you know, like yes, I've been to plenty. It's not like a serial, the kids don't get that it's serial cheating. They get that, you know, it's like a lot of oh, your name is like the Monica. Oh, this is an easy song to dance to. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 13:41

I was surprised at these, like the um uh I expected more music like that, but got more racier music, if you will.

SPEAKER_02 13:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 13:51

I don't know. It was a lot of like Milwaukee North Shore. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, a lot of mechanic. A lot of mechanics.

SPEAKER_04 13:58

So don't stare at the camera.

SPEAKER_02 13:59

Don't stare at the camera.

SPEAKER_04 14:00

Are you supposed to tip the photographer?

SPEAKER_02 14:03

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 14:05

He likes money.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Everyone likes money.

SPEAKER_00 14:07

I mean, and what about video? I cherish my video. Like I would almost rather have my video than my photos.

SPEAKER_02 14:13

I it it's kind of weird. Some people prefer photos and some people prefer videos. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:19

And honestly, that's my biggest recommendation when people because people feel it necessary to ask me about planning their wedding stuff, which I actually really think is fun. Um but yeah, so like budget, I love to plan. I know. I like a schedule.

SPEAKER_04 14:30

Look at this online, it's like great planning.

SPEAKER_00 14:33

But I love video and I'm like budget for lit video and budget for lighting. Like some kind of fun A V lighting situation. Oh, I'm not thinking about that.

SPEAKER_02 14:41

Well, but then at the at the end of the day, just enjoy your wedding, you know. So also that because you know, there there have been brides that just kind of follow you around and they try to get you to um they're almost trying to control control you and just tell you, yeah, get this and get it, and are you shooting this? And you know, we're we're there to capture the day, so we're following the whole time.

SPEAKER_04 15:00

Are you getting this? Do we need to follow you around and make sure Wouldn't you be surprised that I didn't do that?

SPEAKER_00 15:05

Control Freak Bridget, I did not do that. I gave him a shot list ahead of time.

SPEAKER_04 15:08

Are we in focus?

SPEAKER_00 15:09

And let it go. These two though.

SPEAKER_04 15:12

Alright, bring in seltzer number four.

SPEAKER_00 15:14

Can't wait. Hey, this is the one. Ish. Slight chemistry. I gotta say, no. No, man, we have not been finishing our tastings.

SPEAKER_03 15:24

This is the seltzer. Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:27

I'm from Germany. I kind of want to get number two back because I still don't know what the flavor is.

SPEAKER_03 15:32

Well, we can bring it back like that.

SPEAKER_00 15:33

Oh, the flavor is dirty.

SPEAKER_02 15:35

Dirty? Yep. Well, that's the taste, but what is the flavor?

SPEAKER_00 15:39

Oh, I didn't fill that in. It was unclear.

SPEAKER_03 15:42

I get like orange citrus.

SPEAKER_04 15:44

Yeah, very smell like emergency. Very orange citrus. Emergency daily.

SPEAKER_00 15:49

I love emergency. This was a compliment. I have orange flavored emergency.

SPEAKER_02 15:52

We always get the pineapple one.

SPEAKER_00 15:54

Oh, I hope we get to taste pineapple seltzer somewhere, because it's my fave.

SPEAKER_04 15:58

Bridget loves pineapple. Bridget loves pineapple. This is good. This is like, I think, the right level of carbonation. It's the other variable, right? Is like carb levels.

SPEAKER_00 16:08

Yeah, this like it cannot get past how much this tastes like or smells like emergency.

SPEAKER_02 16:11

It smells like it, but I don't know about the taste. Maybe good, you know, by a pool.

SPEAKER_00 16:15

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 16:16

It tastes a little orange rindy.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

Oh, yeah, yeah. Y'all have like orange rindy. The first sip is not so bad, and then you swallow, and you're like, well, you just gotta keep sipping. Oh, just don't stop.

SPEAKER_04 16:28

Don't stop. Keep drinking until you can't taste.

SPEAKER_03 16:31

So numb the taste buds.

SPEAKER_04 16:34

We talked about the windows.

SPEAKER_03 16:35

I almost spit that all over the table.

SPEAKER_04 16:37

But that's kind of you know something you do on the side in addition to the stuff you do with Grayspot. And you guys travel the whole world for commercial photo shoots. You come up to Lake Geneva Country Meats.

unknown 16:49

Am I switching drinks?

SPEAKER_04 16:51

Jeff? Uh Jeff our bartender wants to switch drinks. He wants to switch drinks.

SPEAKER_00 16:56

Get it out of here. Thank you, sir.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

That last one was.

SPEAKER_00 17:01

Oh, you've oh actually there's a little bit of advice.

SPEAKER_04 17:05

Grain alcohol, Matt. Um you guys shoot all over, most notably Iceland. I see a lot of Iceland pictures on you guys. What is your favorite gray spot project that you've done? Can you pick?

SPEAKER_00 17:17

Like I feel like I could never pick it up.

SPEAKER_04 17:19

The new summer is Lake Geneva Country Meme.

SPEAKER_00 17:21

Yes. No Your Beef series. As thrilling as Iceland.

SPEAKER_04 17:25

Stay tuned. That was super fun.

SPEAKER_02 17:27

That was a super fun shoot.

SPEAKER_04 17:28

And I learned so much. My favorite part about the No Your Beef thing was the ripping sound. It goes like this.

SPEAKER_02 17:35

Colin really enjoyed the screen.

SPEAKER_03 17:38

Wasn't it, Colin? Colin did not.

SPEAKER_04 17:42

So what's the favorite gray spot project?

SPEAKER_02 17:44

Favorite gray spot project? I don't see I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 17:47

Or like, do you have different favorites for different reasons?

SPEAKER_02 17:49

Yeah, because I I okay, I feel like a lot of times what happens is the the projects that end up looking the most epic and awesome are the ones that also had the most like frustrating and difficult things within the process. Whether it's just like behind the scenes, right? Yeah, whether it's just like, oh well, food was sparse because we were just in such a remote location.

SPEAKER_04 18:11

Or Icy or the only thing we had to drink was Jameson. It was really rough.

SPEAKER_03 18:15

Or hard seltzing.

SPEAKER_02 18:15

We don't talk about that. Well, yeah, luckily there wasn't any hard seltzer there. Yeah, the Icelandic people do not appreciate hard seltzing.

SPEAKER_00 18:25

I think it's clear that we're not appreciating it either right now.

SPEAKER_04 18:28

My favorite thing that I saw you guys do, I really like the workout videos you did. I thought you did a really nice job with like showing all the like proper ways to do stuff. I thought that was really cool. Like it wasn't one of those like super epic ones, but I thought it was neat.

SPEAKER_02 18:39

Yeah, those are fun. I mean, the but the know your beef series, I actually really enjoyed coming soon.

SPEAKER_04 18:44

Get excited, people. Coronavirus doesn't cancel it. I mean, they canceled, they canceled Mulan, okay, because they want it to be a big release. I think we need to cancel the Know Your Beef until this. Yes, big box office hit.

SPEAKER_00 18:58

I think I think what Igor is saying is something I also agree with because I'm new-ish to the country meets team. Is like I learned a lot by watching that.

SPEAKER_02 19:06

Yeah, in the edit process, uh I, you know, was watching a lot of it and I was like, oh wow, I'm very, very well versed on beef now. So now anytime I'm I'm in the store.

SPEAKER_04 19:15

SPEAKER_03 20:08

Yeah, it's delicious. Spoiler alert. Uh high noon pineapple. That one's actually made from vodka, not cheap. Yeah, which is why I like it.

SPEAKER_02 20:14

But it also, but it's also not overly carbonated, it doesn't have that weird seltzered undertaste.

SPEAKER_00 20:20

In the weird aftertaste that I've got from all of these. Like as well. But that's because okay, Jeff, you want to bring these all back out.

SPEAKER_04 20:25

You probably bring all the cans back out. Bring them all back out. We've got to do the reveal.

SPEAKER_01 20:33

Yeah. That's good. Should we do a little, you want to kind of guess which. Well, let's go to one. Yeah, we should guess.

SPEAKER_02 20:40

But before he brings them out, we should we should discuss what what we'll bring them out and we'll say we think this one's this one, this one's this one.

SPEAKER_00 20:48

Oh, okay, so don't bring them in order.

SPEAKER_04 20:49

Okay. Yeah, just bring them like in some random order.

SPEAKER_00 20:51

I am guessing, I don't know what brands uh Nick brought, but I know what we have in store. So I've got three guests right now. Hainoon's the only one I'm confident in.

SPEAKER_02 21:04

I'm not confident in any of these. Ooh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

I'm right on this one, I'm sure. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 21:10

SPEAKER_02 23:18

SPEAKER_03 23:19

SPEAKER_01 23:22

Oh wow. And Bridget's correct.

SPEAKER_00 23:24

Oh my god! Oh whoa!

SPEAKER_01 23:27

It's the winner!

SPEAKER_03 23:28

Number five. Oh! Bud Light. Bud Light Mango, the winner!

SPEAKER_01 23:32

Okay, I won't drink their beer, but. Any more guesses now as to what number two?

SPEAKER_02 23:36

That has to be the top. I said it's a dive.

SPEAKER_01 23:39

Dive. Dive. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:40

So then this is a loser, but it is an experimental beer that they are working on. They're gonna open this summer.

SPEAKER_02 23:47

Experimental seltzer.

SPEAKER_00 23:48

That's a seltzer. I was like, that's a beer is very good. I like their cutting it.

SPEAKER_02 23:52

We're cutting it.

SPEAKER_00 23:53

New brewery in Lake Geneva opening. So hard seltzer is being worked on. The beer is awesome. So we love Tatsu Turby.

SPEAKER_02 23:59

Alright.

SPEAKER_04 24:01

So which which one number three? White cloth.

SPEAKER_02 24:03

I thought three was Bud Light.

SPEAKER_00 24:05

I thought three was Bud Light, also. So white no. White cloth. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 24:08

Okay. Very middle of the road.

SPEAKER_00 24:09

Interesting. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 24:10

Also sugar and pixie stick. So four is a few. But it's supposed to be black cherries. We thought it was like Pixie Stick strawberry. It is black cherry. Wait, so four is three.

SPEAKER_02 24:17

I thought it was a mixed berry or a hint of green on the bottom.

SPEAKER_04 24:20

Wow. I can't believe that.

SPEAKER_02 24:22

I got that right.

SPEAKER_04 24:22

Yeah, I got that right too. Alright, so I'm one, two, three. I got three right.

SPEAKER_02 24:27

You cut two.

SPEAKER_04 24:28

I got like one. No, I got two.

SPEAKER_03 24:30

I got two. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 24:32

So what's our consensus then? Uh Bud Light. Bud Light Mango. Right? Obviously, number five.

SPEAKER_00 24:40

Yeah, because sugar. I I have not bad written by that one.

SPEAKER_02 24:44

I probably would I probably wouldn't drink. I mean, I enjoyed the taste of it. But I wouldn't drink a whole. Yeah. I mean, this one was really sweet, but I don't think I'd want a whole can of it. No, definitely. I'd feel sick.

SPEAKER_04 24:57

Honestly, that was actually what I thought as I drank the tall boy walking down the Vegas Strip. I feel sick. Not sure if it was because of the people.

SPEAKER_02 25:04

Yeah, this has cane sugar.

SPEAKER_04 25:05

How much I drank the last night, how much I ate the previous night. It was the white pot 630%. I'm not sure what it was, but one of those things made me sick.

SPEAKER_00 25:11

Um, so my consensus exactly what I thought coming into this, I'd rather have vodka with soda water than any of these. But shocked by Bud Light. That's my consensus.

SPEAKER_04 25:24

If you're a seltzer drinker, check out the Bud Light Mango. Check out Ollie's. We have these all at Lake Streaming Country Meats.

SPEAKER_00 25:28

Yeah, what we've found, I would say, is every everyone's tastes are different. So we did a high noon tasting and people were pleasantly surprised and loved it.

SPEAKER_04 25:35

So check that all out. You can go to your local liquor store if there's no toilet paper, but there's still hard seltzer. Have some. Have some. Alright, so Igor, thanks for uh joining us today.
