That time we did a live show: part 3

It's a little hard to hear over there.

Is it? I'm gonna turn it up real quick.

Hi, Chris.

Hey, if you—

Chris, Jules, Mike.

I went ahead and started recording.

Yeah.

So you guys celebrated 1 year. Woo, that was loud. You guys celebrated 1 year last week, right?

1 year.

Did y'all sing happy birthday to the restaurant?

No.

No, so that's what we need to do. Yeah, we gotta sing happy birthday. Everybody, it's 1 year anniversary. Can y'all come over here and sing happy birthday with us? to the Thistle. Yeah, gather over here behind me and Kevin, and we'll— that way we can see you on Facebook. People can—

Happy birthday.

Yeah, come on over here behind me, behind Kevin. Yeah, find a spot.

One year.

Kevin and I are only slightly pitchy, so we'll get you guys to the right key. That's right. The key to doing happy birthday well is you gotta start it low. Yeah, that's really low. So since Kevin has put himself Out there is a birthday song expert. We're gonna let him start it.

Come on out there.

Are you singing harmony or lead? That's what I want to know. No, I'm definitely gonna sing something. All right, here we go. All right, you ready? We ready? All right, so we go. Happy birthday, dear Thistle. Dear Thistle. Yeah. Dear Thistle. Okay, you ready? Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Thistle. Zoll, happy birthday to you!

Woohoo!

Alright! Cheers to Zoll!

Cheers everyone!

That was awesome, thank you guys!

Yeah!

Thank you for letting us interrupt your evening.

Oh yeah!

We still got one viewer on Facebook! 2 now! Hey, we gotta do it again! We got 2 viewers on Facebook!

Encore!

Nice. Oh, this has been fun.

Isn't this a fabulous table?

This table is fantastic. This is my favorite table ever. Who wouldn't— I would not disagree with that. Not only is it beautiful, it has lots of helpful information. It really does. So, so this table, you were telling us about it earlier.

You—

it's okay. So those of you who can't see this table, it is a table that is shaped like Texas. The greatest Ever. Ever. And it's quite large because it's Texas. Kevin, I'm gonna need you to talk for a minute because he brought me my pretzels. Oh yeah, you need to go get your food. And, um, thank you, Barry.

You can fit probably 14, 15, 20 people around this table.

Oh my goodness, that's fantastic. And, um, you didn't pay very much for this thing.

Nope.

You got a steal on this thing. I'm jealous for how little you wound up paying for this. this thing. Yeah. And then you had someone paint it.

Had an artist.

Had an artist paint, and it's got all of the breweries in Texas, or at least a bunch of them.

Some relevant breweries.

Relevant breweries around the state, which is fantastic. Yeah.

So I found this table. It was in rough shape. It had bubble gum on the bottom. It had some scratches on the top. It was in the back of a kitchen wholesale equipment place.

Wow.

$50.

What were they doing with it? They were looking I'm just wondering, where do you acquire something like this to begin with? I mean, obviously you acquired it, acquired it randomly.

From them, correct.

Did they build it?

No, they acquired it from a closed restaurant. From my understanding, it was from San Antonio. Okay. Wow.

Maybe they built it.

I saw it and I thought, we can do something with that.

Oh yeah. It fits the theming in here very, very well. It's perfect.

It's very perfect.

How long have you had it now?

I've had it probably 9, 10 months.

Yeah?

Yep.

I mean, I've been coming here for a while. This is the first time I noticed it. Was it in the other room?

Back in the corner.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

And do we use it often, or do people think it's like an ornament?

Last week was the first time it was actually open to the public.

Oh, okay.

So we put the clear coat on it last Friday, and it was used for a party last Friday night.

Wow. Yeah, as soon as I saw it when I walked in, I was like, can I use that?

Yes, you can.

That's perfect. Yes, you can. Absolutely perfect. I love it.

Just think of the possibilities, all the places people can sit.

Oh, man. Yeah, I love that you've got it set on top of barrels.

Yes, eventually we'll have those barrels painted.

Okay, I was gonna say that's kind of a thing you guys have going here. Do you use different artists for that, or?

There's a few different artists, and I'm looking for more, but I think that as long as we keep it in the beer theme, it'll be exactly what we want.

Okay, so what are the other ones that you have? Are these like commissioned, or that you just kind of let the artists do their thing?

A little bit of both. Okay, so I have One that has hops, one that has malt, one that has kind of the process, all 4 of those— mops— mops— yeast, hops, water, and malt. And then I have—

All the essential ingredients.

Exactly. And I have one that's kind of a space octopus, which is really cool. And then the other one, the very first one that was painted, is Pink Boots Society. So there's a female brewer with some pink boots on.

Yeah.

Gorgeous.

I really love the intentionality behind that, that it's not just random. I mean, it feels like it could be random, but it means something to you.

It does.

And that means so much. I think that that's one of the great things you get with a small business like this, is that you can really make it your own, make it unique. There's nobody overhead telling you you should do this or you should do that. You can create whatever you want to. And what winds up happening, as Craig, we've witnessed tonight, is people are just drawn to this place.

Yeah.

unique and special and wonderful.

It's not corporate.

No.

It doesn't fit anybody else's mold.

Right.

I get to create that mold, which is really cool. Yeah.

So what was, what was the catalyst for you to kind of get this project off the ground?

Wow, very intense question. So I used to work for St. Arnold's. I was there for 7 years, and when it came time to make a different decision, I just didn't want to be outside the industry.

Yeah.

So I decided to do a bottle shop and bar. It was gonna be a little tiny little 50 Kind of got outside that box a little bit. Only because I found this place. It had the 4 garage doors and I felt like I could do something with it.

Yeah, yeah.

So here we are.

It's awesome.

Big. Yeah, and we've been able to have the doors open the last couple weeks— last couple days, which has been phenomenal. Oh yeah, in December. Middle of December, had the doors open. They were open just like 5 minutes ago. Yeah, all day long up until about 5 minutes ago.

So That's amazing. Kevin wussed out. Yeah, I'm over here in short sleeves. What's wrong with me? You know?

You're a Texan.

I'm a Texan. You're a Texan. Yeah, absolutely. Well, it's a beautiful location. We're thankful to have the opportunity to be here and record.

Thank you.

Thank you for doing that. So what is your favorite piece in here? Like your section or like what was like sort of the—

You're asking me to pick I can't pick my favorite child.

Not your favorite child, but like, what was like the labor of love in here that you're just like, that's the thing that like, one, I had to have, and it's just like, it's special to me?

Wow, that's a really big question. For me, it's the whole concept. So everything in here, when we found this place, we tore down the office, everything that was there, and we ended up with a blank slate. So what do we do with a blank slate? How do we find the bar? How do we find the restrooms, the kitchen, space, and it's very intentional. The lounge is very intentional. So there is no one space in here that really means that iconic something or other. If I had to rank them, I would say the bar.

The bar?

The bar is really unique. It's a— it's not even a horseshoe, it's racetrack. So nobody has their back to anybody, which was super, super important to me. And then just the concept of the openness. I love the openness here, including the kitchen. So when Ernesto came and interviewed with us, and I showed him the kitchen, and you could see the look on his face.

It's like, I'm gonna be seen by everybody.

Yeah, you're in a fishbowl, man. If that's what you want, that's cool. And they do very well back there, so it's fun to watch them. Their characters are very mild and fun, and they laugh, and they have a good time in their jobs. And to me, that's what it's all about. Enjoy what you do.

I can tell you, I had some food earlier. It was fantastic. You know, if you're not coming for the come back for the food.

Yeah.

Because it's all very, very good.

Yeah, food is really good. I'm so very, very elated and happy that we have such a good chef. Something else you guys may or may not know is we do beer dinners once a month.

Yeah.

So we sponsor a brewery. We do a 6-course— sorry, we do a 5-course meal, 6 beers, 5 courses of food, and really highlight the brewery, highlight Ernesto's talents.

Mm-hmm.

Fabulous, fabulous.

Every time I've been able to— I haven't had the chance to come in one of those, but every time I've seen the menu, it just like, it just makes me slobber all over my cell phone.

Yeah.

Oh, it's disgusting to watch.

So great. Exactly.

So great. But we all understand because it's good. It's very good. Yeah. One of the reasons I love this place is because, like you said, the whole concept just sort of just rolls together and feels like there was a lot of thought put into every single piece. So much so that like, I love the bathrooms here.

Oh yeah.

More than I love them at Buc-ee's.

Right.

They're very different. They're very unique.

Yeah. Yeah.

And it's just like, it's, I mean, like that's every, every time I move from place to place within the building, it's, there's something interesting to find.

Yep.

About that area. Yeah. And so one of the things that I noticed is that, and maybe this was intentional, I assume because of just knowing you for a short period of time here, you seem like a very intentional type of person, but everything is communal in this place, including Including, this is gonna sound weird, including the bathroom area. They're segregated, obviously, you got guys and girls, but the wash station is a communal wash station. It's, you know— You gotta look at one another. Yeah, and it's just everything is very communal here and it's about relationship. It's about, you know, being with other people. I also appreciate a bathroom that has checks and balances.

Yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right. So my original concept was to be fully communal, but Spring is not ready for that. Let's do— they're not. They're simply not. So let's do semi-communal. Let's, uh, exactly. So let's, let's segregate the, the, uh, the genders and let's have a communal sink and let's make it as open as we can. And it works.

It works. It just really does.

It works.

Yeah. I mean, everything is, everything is just around everybody.

Open.

Yeah. And even, even so, to, to my right over here, there's the, the conference area.

Our event center. Event center, whatever you want to call it.

Yeah, I like event center even better. And it's fully glassed.

Yep.

I mean, it's all open. I mean, there's no hiding anything in here.

Why?

Not Christmas presents. There's no hiding the Christmas presents. No hiding the Christmas presents in here.

So, yeah.

So as I munch on these delicious pretzel bites right here, is there something favorite that you have on the menu right now?

Oh, again, you're asking me to pick a favorite.

I know Tuesdays are kind of special for you. It's a habit of doing it.

Yeah, of course. You know, there's, there's nothing that's— oh gosh, they're so equal. I love the jalapeño pretzel knots because they're so unique. So that story is we work with Craftsman's Bakery and my son Jake asked them, it's like, well, can you do a jalapeño pretzel? And they thought, well, I don't know, let's give it a try. So they did. They did a jalapeño pretzel knot for us and we've been carrying them ever since. So it's delicious. Are you eating that now?

These are not the jalapeño. I've had the jalapeño ones and they're delicious. Okay, are they hot or are they—

No.

They just got the flavoring.

They got the flavor, a little bit of spice, nothing over the top, just very gentle, mild. Let you know that there is jalapeño in there, but delicious.

Wow.

So delicious.

Sounds fantastic.

So we order tons of knots every week. Tons of knots. So yeah, we're very proud of that. They also created a pumpkin spice pretzel. Wow.

Ooh, like a sweet one.

Last year, yeah.

Nice.

I don't know what they did with it this year, but—

You don't have that in here?

We don't.

Okay.

I think we forgot. But the pretzel knot—

It is December.

Yeah, it's been pretty busy. So the jalapeño pretzel knot has been just one of our favorites.

Wow.

Yeah.

So on average, and I know this is gonna be different for different times of the year, but during the weekdays, do you have an average number of people that frequent this place? And maybe different than the weekends even?

Not at all. Okay.

Every week.

So I would say tonight— so what we did is we started putting oysters on the half shell back on the menu. They did very well early in the year and then they kind of fell off in the warmer months. So we put them back on and I feel like we're getting really good reception from that. So from day to day, it's kind of a crapshoot.

Okay.

There's not a lot of consistency. We can count on the weekend being a little heavier than the weekdays, but from week to week, there's really not a consistency. consistency that we can put our hands on yet. Okay.

Yeah, in fact, the last guy we just interviewed said that part of the reason he was here was because of the oysters.

Right.

He was here last Monday and said they brought the oysters back. And here he is again.

Yeah, exactly.

That's good marketing.

It's a draw. Well, I mean, I'm not an oyster Easter eater.

Easter eater. Easter eater. On Easter or any day.

Yeah, no, but Chef is. Chef really loves oysters and he felt like this would be a good draw, and it is. He's right.

It works.

Yeah. work until the months get warm, and then all of a sudden people decide, no, not comfortable. But overall, I think this is a good ride.

Okay. So earlier tonight, Kevin and I were talking with some other folks, and we were talking about hiding Christmas presents from either our kids or our spouses. Do you have any good hiding spots that you're willing to reveal online?

Well, why would I do that?

That's what I said. That's what I said. If I tell you where my hiding spots are, they're no longer hiding spots.

That would be a correct answer.

Are you hiding some right now? Is that the reason you're not wanting to meet?

Of course. Why should I tell you?

Do you do that? You hide the presents?

Of course.

Yeah?

Yeah, of course.

Has it become more difficult in the age of Amazon?

No, not so much. No.

You're just that sneaky?

Well, of course.

Well, you know, a lot of times even with Amazon, Amazon Prime, you can separate and have separate— 2 separate accounts.

Separate accounts, yeah.

That are still linked to the same central account, so.

Yeah, we respect that, so.

Yeah. That's good, there's an understanding.

Not only that, but we don't ask questions.

Don't ask questions. Yeah.

But what's really cool and fun for us this year is my oldest son's coming back with his wife and the 2 girls, so it's gonna be a lot of fun having some little ones around.

Oh yeah.

And that's when I feel like Christmas is really special and fun. That's gonna be a lot of fun. Yeah.

And I love Christmas with little kids.

Oh yeah.

Yeah, man. So, well, so this is the homeowner show. Do you have a home?

Oh, of course. I'm sorry, not everybody has a home, but yes, we have a home.

You have a home?

Yep, we've been in this house for 16 years. We've really enjoyed it.

Oh wow. So what has been, what has been the biggest project you guys have taken on in that house?

The biggest project we have is we have a We have a garage that has space above the garage. And so we, when we bought the house, it was just bare walls. There was just the flooring. There was no walls. So we built it out.

Right, yeah.

We put an AC in there. We put flooring in there.

Awesome.

We made it a special room.

What kind of AC did you guys put in there? Was it like a window unit?

Central unit.

Central unit?

Okay, yeah.

Yeah, no window unit. You went all in.

Went all in.

Right.

The only thing that's unfinished, which we'd love to see it finished, is the bathroom. So the space is there. It's halfway done, but it's not complete. We're almost there. The toilet's even sitting there.

It's ready to be installed or it's like, it's installed?

I think it's installed.

Be careful before you try and install it. I'm getting the impression Mary does not frequent the garage.

So this is a project we started in 2005. So we're 13 years into an unfinished project.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah. It won't take long to finish it.

That's right. We're almost there.

Yeah. Are you guys, you guys ready to help me? You want me to help you with it?

Yeah, I'll help you with it.

We can do it in a weekend and be done.

I mean, it might set you back a couple years, but— Yeah. We can even get John from our last show here. That's right, John is like an expert plumber. He's a butcher. He was like whacking mold. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, we're good enough to cause problems.

Yeah, yeah.

What you need, you need Jim. What was that, like episode 4 or something like that? Our leak detector. Yeah, I mean, he's an outstanding plumber. Yeah, he is.

So that's your man.

JC's Leak Detection.

JC's Leak Detection.

Yeah.

Okay.

So he's a good plumber, but like, like one, like I've sent him on some stuff that's crazy. I mean, like he's, he's finding like hairline cracks and pools and yeah.

Awesome.

Yeah, he's, he's outstanding.

Yeah. You need to have him on speed dial.

Yeah, that's right. I do. 'Cause you never know. You never know. I'm causing leaks all over the place.

That's all.

Yeah. So, so the garage is unfinished and what was, what did you want to finish? What did y'all want to finish it for?

It's about 90% finished. The bathroom is the one thing lacking.

Okay.

Once we get the bathroom done, it's 100% complete.

So is it gonna be, is it gonna be finished like upstairs downstairs, or is it just like a downstairs finished garage?

It's an upstairs finished portion. The downstairs—

Upstairs finished what?

Portion. So the upstairs will be finished. It's 90% now. Finish the bathroom, we're 100%. The downstairs is finished, but it's full of stuff.

Okay.

You know, homeowners.

Things that you just can't quite get rid of.

Correct. Amazon boxes. Yeah, swag.

So is it gonna be, is it gonna be like a guest room kind of a thing or?

Yeah, so we have a pool table up there, dartboards, it's a game room. Really?

Awesome.

And we've used it, so.

It's the private Thistle.

It's the private Thistle. It's the Thistle before the Thistle was a Thistle.

There you go. There you go.

It's the only Thistle.

By exclusive invitation only.

Yes.

I love it.

It's a pretty cool game room. It's a nice space. We love using it, but we do need to finish it out. Yeah.

Well, you'll get there.

We will. Maybe sooner than I think.

Maybe that's your Christmas present, you never know.

It's a little soon for that. Maybe the end of January?

Hey, there you go. So have you guys done most of the work yourselves?

Yes, all of it.

Wow.

Yeah, 2005 we started it and we did the sheetrock. Have you ever done sheetrock?

Yes. Yeah.

What a pain in the tushy that is. It's the worst.

Yeah, it's really not fun to work with. So I will tell you this because I'm in the middle of a project right now where I'm and have them do some sheetrocking. And they have come out with this new self-adhesive tape. It's really cool. Isn't that what tape is? Well, like, not, but like not sheetrock tape. Sheetrock tape is not adhesive. No, it's not. Okay.

Yeah. All right.

So like, this is, this is like adhesive, excuse me, adhesive sheetrock tape, but like it's perforated. And so like it's got a bunch of tiny little holes in it. And so you can, so like usually what you have to do when you're taping and floating the wall is, you know, you put in some mud and then you put down the tape and then you mud over the tape in order to get that clean seam. This one, you just have to put the tape on the wall. And because it's perforated, you can come through with mud and the mud goes right through the perforations.

What?

And so then you can get a nice smooth seam without having to pre-mud the wall. Which is part of the issue with sheetrocking is you get a lump there.

Right, right.

And that's the hardest part is getting rid of the lump because you got, like you said, you got mud, tape, mud.

Yeah.

And so now you're just taping and mudding You're removing part of the hard part. Right. It's a cool little— I mean, it's a little bit more expensive, but like the amount of time that it saves is incredible.

Maybe that bathroom will get done sooner.

Is that the holdup over there? Is it the sheetrocking?

Uh, no, I think the plumbing is just about in. It's— I think we're down to tile work. Once the tile work is done, then we'll be okay.

Tile work can take a while, yeah.

It's not that big of a bathroom though.

So one of the worst sheetrocking jobs that I ever worked on was, we were doing— we were rebuilding a house in New Orleans after Katrina. And in this house, we were working on the second story and it had a vaulted roof. And we were putting sheetrock on the vaulted roof. And it was really difficult. You know, thankfully they've got tools to help you kind of lift it up there and hold it, but you still got to get it in just the right spot and Man, you gotta cut it out right. It was a project.

It took some bravery to get that high too.

Yeah, I was younger and stupider at that time also. Hadn't broken your leg yet. I had not broken my leg at that point. So yeah, I'm not doing that anymore.

Hmm. Yeah.

So what else have you done around the house? Anything else fun?

It's been a while. We had the whole downstairs remodeled in 2012. That was really awesome. When we bought this house, We had a 2-burner stove and a grill top for 5 people.

Wow. Hey, that's a tough job.

I love cooking. Yeah, it was, it was not pretty, but we made it work. The dog passed away, so that gave us permission to— I'm sorry. They gave me the little target to say, hey, let's go ahead and get this done because our son was getting married at the same time. So it's like, okay, time to remodel. Let's make it happen. And we were fortunate enough to be in the position to be able to do that, and we have a very beautiful kitchen now.

Oh man, those are the best.

In fact, the gentleman who did our kitchen is the same gentleman who built our bar.

Oh really?

Super good guy.

We can promote them. Who was that?

Larry Kiergaard with Kiergaard Construction.

Okay.

Yep.

Yeah, can we, can we find them and link them up? Is that— do they have a website or anything like that?

I don't know. We'll check that out.

I'd love to get him on the show. We need to get him on the show.

He's been a friend of ours for a very, very long time. We've known him through Scouts and through the kids. Okay. Yeah, he's very conscientious about the jobs he chooses to take.

I like those kind of guys. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, he's a good guy.

We don't want to hold you up all night. I mean, we can—

We can talk all night.

I'm good.

I have my beer. You guys got your beers?

We're good. We've had a lot of fun. We really, really appreciate the opportunity to come and just interview some patrons and sit at this. I feel very honored to be able to sit at this table right now.

You are the second group of people to sit at this table.

Man, that makes me feel special. Some people— wow. But we're the first podcast from this table, right?

You are the first podcast.

There we go. Are we the first podcast?

You are the first podcast.

No, I know there's been another one.

Not the first podcast in the place, but you are the first podcast at this table. Yeah, so that other podcast can just Suck it.

Yeah, we don't promote them. They didn't get the table unless they promote us too.

They have left, but it could happen.

It could happen. It's a good podcast. Yeah, those are good guys. Yeah, they are awesome.

They are good guys.

Well, yeah, and you know, it's a new venture for us because we've never done a live show.

Oh.

Yeah, this is our first live show.

Interesting. Cool. Thank you.

So it's a new uncharted territory for us as well.

New format.

And it's been a good experience. We appreciate you letting us come in and rig up the place with lights and take your internet from other people.

Absolutely. Yeah, this makes my heart happy, so thank you.

Well, do we need to do the Final Four with Mary? Well, we're not gonna let her get down without it. All right, good.

Final what?

The Final Four! The Final Four. We have 4 questions that we ask every single guest, so cheers. I hope you're ready. Yeah, so here's the Final Four questions. We're gonna go one by one by one, and, uh, You can't not answer any of the questions, okay? But they're not too bad. All right, so what's the one tool, the one must-have tool that you wouldn't leave your house without? And so, you know, this could be really anything. You're going to work on the garage, going out to work.

Something that cuts.

Something that cuts, like a knife or a saw.

A knife or a pair of scissors.

Scissors, oh yeah. Saw's a little bit too big.

Can't put it in your pocket. You can't put it in your—

okay. Okay, so scissors or a knife?

Correct.

You know, that's actually Craig's favorite tool to keep is a knife. Actually, you have it. Let me see. Yeah, I do. I don't need to see your knife. You got a little— there it is. A little deer horn 3-blade.

Nice.

It's everywhere I go.

I love it.

Is it a Buck?

Yeah.

Ah. Yeah, a legitimate Buck knife.

Nice.

Everywhere, man. Saved my bacon countless times. Yeah. Okay, so that's good. That's good. Y'all see eye to eye on that. The second question is— She receives no coaching. No coaching. All right, so the second question is— Are you having trouble remembering the questions? No, I'm actually not. I'm trying to figure out which one to go to next because there's 3 others. So let's just go here. What's one of the best pieces of wisdom or advice you've ever received?

Oh, good question. I have the answer for that. Patience and compassion.

Oh wow, that's deep.

Patience is compassion. Patience and compassion.

Patience and compassion. Patience and compassion.

Oh.

You just gotta have them both. I took it to a different level. You did.

You did. That's okay.

Patience and compassion.

And compassion.

Okay. I like it. What does that mean for you?

Patience is one of those things you have to have regardless of what you're doing in everyday life.

Yeah.

Because that offers you the opportunity to kind of step back and think about what's going on before you knee-jerk reaction into something. Compassion is thinking about what's going on on the other side. Not really taking your expectations first, but kind of looking at the whole picture as opposed to just jumping right in and having a knee-jerk reaction.

That's good. I love that. All right, so what's a job that you've walked away from? And this could be a career if you want it to be, but a lot of where we try to gear this question toward is specifically homeowners. Like, is there— if you want to go career, that's fine— but is there a job that you've said at your house, I'm not tackling that? Or maybe in the shop here somewhere, I'm not tackling that. I'm gonna farm that out because I am— I'm not interested in that job.

Interesting. For me, it's probably either plumbing or electrical.

Okay.

Because the electrical specifically, because it has such a Specific requirement. Yeah, I don't have the knowledge to do that. Plumbing is kind of the same way. You can probably muddle your way through plumbing. Water flows downhill. Yeah, but electrical is one of those things that if you don't get it right, you could get hurt.

Yeah, that's true. Have you had one where you— that you like, one in your home that you've been like, maybe I could do that, and then walked away from it?

Or— I have a husband.

Once you touch that, enough said.

We're gonna let that lie.

Let it lie.

Okay, good.

He's still with us, right?

Oh yeah.

Okay. I don't want to be called to testify or something.

Yeah, sometimes he knows more than I know and you just let that happen.

Yeah.

Yeah. Resign that.

You let him think that he knows, right? Just let it be.

He said that I didn't.

That's good. All right, last question. You ready?

Yep.

How do you wind down at the end of a long day? Which one do I choose? If y'all couldn't hear, we had an audience member. What is this gentleman's name?

Is it Jeremy?

Jeremy, yeah. Did you say Jeremy? Jeremy, yeah. Jeremy yelled out beer.

I think that's probably an appropriate answer.

Is it probably? Yeah.

It's appropriate?

A little beer, yeah.

Just lying horizontal.

Is there a particular kind of beer that's like, that is more relaxing than others?

Something that is probably high in alcohol, very well-balanced, very malty. Could be IPA, could be stouts. Even a robust wine. Just something that just says relax.

I'm here, I'm done. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you.

I like it. And try it lying horizontal.

Yeah, lying horizontal. Yeah, ready to put the head on the pillow.

Yeah.

It's almost that time now.

Yeah.

No, it's early. We don't work at the pistol, we're just visiting. Yeah, we've also got small children who wake up early no matter what time we go to bed.

Of course.

Yeah, for sure. Well, it really has been a pleasure to be here tonight. It's been an awesome night. Thank you for letting us come.

Thank you, gentlemen. This is cool.

She, she just upgraded our status right there, man. She said gentlemen.

Absolutely.

She doesn't know me yet. I've never gotten a promotion.

Take it. Take that promotion.

Well, cool. Well, um, I guess that's gonna do it for us tonight. Yep. I had a fun time. I did too. And, uh, maybe we'll come back and do it again.

I hope that you do.

That would be a blast. Yeah, until then, we'll see you later. Let's do it.

Good evening.
