Rush-hour traffic, cold pizza, and a Spock shot glass filled to the brim with Malort—my Friday evening was off to an unconventional start. Join me, Ben Maynard, as we shake off the cobwebs from our brief hiatus and dive headfirst into a night of unscripted revelry and reflection. This episode is like that one friend who brings the unexpected to every party—you never know what you'll get, but you can bet it'll be memorable.
From my brother Jim's bourbon experimentations to a surprise visit that turned our studio into an impromptu tasting room, this session is brimming with familial warmth and the essence of live radio unpredictability. We'll wind through the intricate flavors of passion fruit mead, engage in some listener-driven Malort mischief, and even get serenaded amidst birthday celebrations. It's a symphony of chaos where the music of Uriah Heep's "Gypsy" intertwines with the clink of glasses and the laughter of good company.
And just when you think you've caught your breath, we'll throw down the trivia gauntlet with the debut of 'Stump the Chump.' Whether you're sipping on stout or savoring the aftertaste of cold pizza, this episode offers a seat at our table of Friday Night Live shenanigans. So, if you're looking for a nightcap to your week or just a break from the mundane, tune in, chime in, and let's make this evening one for the books.#tellyourstory #familymatters #spotify #thebenmaynardprogram #bigbluestacks #chinohills #thebruery

Hey everyone, welcome into the Ben Manor Program. Thanks for being here. It is Friday night and we are live. Yes, we are Doing it again. It's been I don't know what two or three weeks, something like that, and I miss doing this. So here we are again. Let's click this right here. Oh, yeah, there it is. Yeah, so we are live, baby Live, and ready to go. Uh-huh, hope everyone had a great day. I hope you've had a great week, because it is Friday, right? Yeah, so I hope you've all had a great week. Oh, I tell you, mm-mm, oh, what a day today.
Speaker 1:Today was rough and of course, of course it was rough because I was doing this show at 7 o'clock tonight, so of course it was going to be a tough day. I got home one hour ago, one hour before I hit go on this, so I had to get in the shower, I had to clean myself up, I had to get everything set up here in the studio, and that's just so typical. Best late plans, right? Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Murphy's Law, right, that's what it is. But, yeah, I started at 3 o'clock this morning, so I've been up since 1.30. 1.30 and it is now 7 o'clock, but we're here, baby, we're here and we're live tonight, so I'll get some housekeeping out of the way.
Speaker 1:Of course, as you know that this program is always available on multiple podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts, amazon Music and Spotify, or you can just search the Ben Maynard program. You'll have several options to choose from. Just pick your option and go with it. All right. And if you're watching on YouTube, we're live. It's Friday night. Subscribe to the channel, give me a thumbs up and leave a comment you know I like comments. We'll get into some of them in a little bit and last but not least, follow me on Instagram.
Speaker 1:Simply Ben Maynard program. So, hey, lots of ways to take in this program for your dancing and listening pleasure. Yes, and with that, it is Friday night and we are live. No special topics. A few things I'm going to hit up on. And again, the Mallord is out. The Mallord is out and the challenge is on, baby. So all you have to do is call into the program and I'm going to give that number. Right now. There's the number to call into the program. Call in and if you call in, I'll take a shot of Mallord, the worst tasting alcohol, remember that. And tonight I've got my Spock shot glass and inside my Spock shot glass I put a bean in there. I put a what do you call these things? A bean. Boozled bean is what I did, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:So let me tell you this people my brother, jim and Catherine are downstairs and I don't know what's going on. They're trying all kinds of stuff. Since we've been getting into Imperial Stouts and that type of stuff, jim has gotten himself into wanting to make it himself and he's doing all kinds of things and I think he's made a couple of meads that I think at some point this show I'll get a visit from Jim and Catherine and I'll be trying some mead. But I know he made something else, I don't know. I got home and they were getting tanked up downstairs and I told them. I said I got to get ready, I got a show to get to, and so the door to the studio has opened up. There it is, there's Jim. Come on in, jim. It's all right, come on in. Come on in. We're up to two views right now.
Speaker 2:So you won't like this this is a well.
Speaker 1:What is it?
Speaker 2:It's called a wild cream pie.
Speaker 1:It's called. Well, what is it?
Speaker 2:It's a lot of urban.
Speaker 1:OK.
Speaker 2:I don't think you'll like it.
Speaker 1:It smells really, really strong. I taste apple.
Speaker 2:Yep, that's the pie part.
Speaker 1:Yeah, ok, I taste apple, I don't taste any cream.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's cream soda.
Speaker 1:OK, I don't taste any cream soda. I don't taste any. It doesn't have a ton of heat on it, but it has some heat on it from the bourbon, but nothing else has really done anything to it. I wouldn't want to eat those apples that you had soaking in this. You'd probably get drunk off of one bite.
Speaker 2:So that right there start, before you ruin your taste buds with the Malore.
Speaker 1:You can do that. Yeah, ok, I don't know about that. Yeah, thanks, jim.
Speaker 2:I do have the beans.
Speaker 1:OK, you hear that. I don't know, did you all hear that there's mead that'll be making its way into the studio later on? So again, hope everybody has had a good week. It's been a. It was a busy, busy weekend last week, last Friday and Saturday, for those who paid attention. Oh wait, let me see, let me click on here. We got comments. Oh, burma. Ok, there's the comments. So yeah, so last Friday, and we talked about this a little bit, but I want to go over this for those who didn't see the last, the Friday night show last week.
Speaker 1:So Spaz and I, we went to go see Eddie Trunk and for those of you who are not familiar with who Eddie Trunk is, he has a talk show Monday through Friday on Serious XM. It's on Faction Talk, channel 103. Sounds like I'm shilling for Serious XM, huh, but it's every day and he talks rock. He's been in the business radio business for 40 years. So he was doing a speaking engagement last week at a music school called Rockstars of Tomorrow. So Spaz and I went out to go see that. It was a blast, had a blast, really, really fun. I will go into the whole thing because I believe we touched on it in our Rock and Roll Hall of Fame episode. But it was a late night, we had a good time. We're just hanging out with Eddie, with Phil X from Bon Jovi, and so it was a good time. And we got back here and I said, hey, let's go into the studio real quick and let's go record a show. Let's talk about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The nominees had just come out, I think a few days prior to that. So we did and it's a good show. I like it. I like the way it came out. It's getting some fair response. I actually got a couple of comments and I'll get into those later on.
Speaker 1:But so that was Friday and then Saturday. Saturday I did two shows. I recorded two shows. Hey, we're up to three. We're up to three viewers. Yes, come on, baby, call in. You see the number right there. That's the number to call into the show. So I shot.
Speaker 1:I recorded two episodes on Saturday. One was in the afternoon. That was with former LA County Sheriff Alex Bienueva, who is running for LA County Board of Supervisors, and that went over really, really well and, to be honest, that one's getting the. That's the biggest episode of this podcast here. That's our biggest episode to this point and but it was good, it was very educational and Alex had a good time. So then got done with Alex and I had to move all the equipment downstairs into my living room because we were doing a beer tasting, an IPA tasting, which you can see if you're on YouTube, you can see the different episodes, if you're on Buzzsprout or any of the other podcast platforms, they're all there. And the IPA tasting was really was really cool, was really educational as well.
Speaker 1:And for those of you who know I'm not a, I'm just I'm really not a big drinker and I don't like beer. I'm sorry, imperial stouts to me, the ones that we've been drinking are not beer, but I gave it, I gave it a shot and I still came away not not caring for them. It just kind of tasting like the same old beer for the most part that I have had in the past. But you know I was going to give it an honest try. But we had a lot of fun We've had, we've had really good response on that. On that episode, some a couple of comments, not much. But you know I'm hoping that with that, like with the imperial stouts that we we did back in.
Speaker 1:I guess it was December that, with this one in the IPAs for those of you who were not real familiar with them or don't have a lot of experience with IPAs that you learned a little something. That's what it's all about. That's what the tastings are all about, and we'll probably do some again in the future. We'll figure it out, I don't know, but it's not, you know, to make a big party out of it. It's to pick something and provide some information and education on that particular thing. Whatever it is we're tasting, hey, who knows, we might be bringing food into the studio at some point. You know, that'd be great. Huh, trying some barbecue beef ribs? Oh, that would be awesome. Hey, we're up to five views. That is great. Thank you, thanks to each and every one of you that are out there watching Somebody. The number to call the show is right there Call in, call in. I told you the Mallort Challenge is on, so if you call in, oh, we're up to six. So if you call in, I'm going to take a drink of Mallort, the worst tasting alcohol in the world.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, so comments, ok, comments. You know I'm going to go back several. Go back, I don't know, four or five episodes and in fact it was my KISS albums rank. That's what it was. And look, I told you all. I've told you all right from the beginning, when, if you leave a comment, I'm going to read it, or it's OK if you have something negative to say, criticism, it is what it is and that's OK. Look, I can take it, I'm a big fella, but you know, just to make a negative comment for the sake of making a negative comment, it's kind of like I mean, are we in high school or what? So remember, it was a. I might have been on one of the Friday night live shows.
Speaker 1:I mentioned the fact that Catherine had said there was a comment that said you suck or you suck at this or something like that, and I couldn't find it. Well, and I found it and I saw okay, so you suck at this, I believe, is what it said. And so I thought, okay, you know now you're just being a troll. But I responded to it and I basically just told the guy you know, the guy has a channel, he's got a YouTube channel and that's great. All he does is put playlists on. I think he has like two playlists, no big deal. Okay, you have your thing and everyone else has their thing. That's all cool. But he says you suck at this. So I thought, well, you know what, I'm going to go ahead and address it. And I told the guy the guy's name is Anthony, okay, and he says and so I said to him I said look, paraphrasing, I'm not reading it and I said something like that criticism is okay, but to just say you suck, it's like.
Speaker 1:What does that mean? You know? And and don't be a troll. It's kind of immature, don't be a troll. There are a billion channels on YouTube to watch, and that was kind of what.
Speaker 1:What I said? Not, was it? And it's true, if you don't like this, then don't. You don't, you don't have to watch, you don't have to listen, and that's with anyone else's channel, that's anything. If you don't like a certain song, you don't like a band, if you don't like a television show, then you don't watch it. But if you see something, if you hear something and you don't like it and you want to criticize it, just constructive criticism, that's all. Hey, you know what, dude, I think you could do better, or you're not doing so. Well, all right, stuff like that, and you know. But just to say you suck. What does that mean? Come on, really, that's just like too easy, that's just cheap. So, anyway, I'm not going to belabor it.
Speaker 1:That was it and I wanted to address it. Hey, yvette, yvette T, she says love your show, ben. Oh, thanks, yvette, I love you too. Thanks for watching. So then let me see if I can punch up. I got my iPad right here. Let me see if I can punch up something here without starting the show. I don't want to do that, okay, but we got some. We got some comments. Not a lot, in fact, I think there's only three or four. We got some comments on the Alex Villanueva episode or that interview, and so because some, some people they don't use their name it's hard to to really say what it is. And oh wait, hang on, before I get into it, would you bring Jim?
Speaker 2:Passion fruit meat. Oh, you will like this.
Speaker 1:Passion fruit meat. Go ahead, it's okay if you show up on camera. It's no big deal, it's all good.
Speaker 2:That is, that smell, that's passion passion fruit meat.
Speaker 1:See, they're going to bring me in on this.
Speaker 2:Made by Tim Shepard.
Speaker 1:Okay, it smells pretty good.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's yummy Okay.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that is really good, that is really tasty. Yeah, certainly not malored, you know what?
Speaker 2:What I think is, instead of people having you drink the malored, I think you should drink that while you're at it.
Speaker 1:That's not a punishment, though, brother. See the punishment and the way you. You know you have to like punish yourself in order to gain traction and get an audience, so I'm offering to punish myself.
Speaker 2:That booze right there that I just gave you, probably twice.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, good stuff, all right, see ya. Anyway, I think all this interaction, we lost a few viewers. Well, they'll come back. Come on back people, come on back people, anyway. So so, getting back to Alex, and, like I said, they didn't use their name so it's hard to tell, but they said by far absolutely no comparison to Janice Hahn in the level of understanding and the level of experience. Janice Hahn won't even debate Alex being a way of a spread the word, vote for Alex for supervisor District four. Yeah, so this is. You know, for those of you who are watching, you know, elsewhere in the country, this is a local thing here in Los Angeles County. So just to let you all know. But it was good and Alex was really, really receptive, he was very open, it was. I thought it was really good and, yeah, and I don't I don't want to make it sound like I'm tuning my own horn I just thought it came out really well and sometimes I think it's because of what I do, but sometimes I think it's because of the guest also, and so I think it was just a good combination.
Speaker 1:No phone calls. Yet there's the phone number Call into the show, 909-268-5135. Call into the show. Let's get this Malort challenge started. Okay, yeah, and then.
Speaker 1:So it was just a real, real, real busy weekend. Oh, by the time Sunday rolled around, I was just beat up. I was really beat up. I was thoroughly exhausted, but it was fun. It was fun. So there we go. Hey, picked up another, picked up another viewer. Good job, I see you there. I see you All right Now, call in If you're watching. Call in the phone number. It's right there. Come on, babies. I can't see. I can't see who it is, but I know you're out there.
Speaker 1:So you know, I was listening at work today. I was driving back in after I finished my route and all my shows that I listened to throughout the morning and into the early afternoon. They were all over, they were done. So I thought, okay, we're just going to put on some music here, and so I put on your Raya Heat live from 1973. And, as you know, a few weeks ago I did my top 20 Raya Heat songs and my number one song was July morning. But I believe my top three were Magician's Birthday, gypsy and July Morning. I think it was that order. I'm trying to get it right. I'm trying to remember here. It's a good thing I'm sitting away from the camera. You can't see how bloodshot my eyes are. So I'm listening to your Raya Heat live. And it gets to July morning and man, I was just so, just so, so good and it was great.
Speaker 1:Then comes Gypsy. I'm sorry I had to revise my top 20. Gypsy is the number one song. Yeah, that's just that's the way it is. But I think I even said on that episode that those top three songs were interchangeable and depending on how I felt on that particular week, you know it could be any one of those three. Oh, gypsy. So so, so good, man.
Speaker 1:Anyway, so let's see Upcoming guests. Well, I'm working on Eddie Trunk. I think I did mention that last Friday. I'm working on Eddie. He said, and he's just got such a busy schedule, he's so busy and I know he's really going to be busy next month and I think even into April. I think he's doing, I don't know, three or four cruises Monsters of rock bruise. There's a progressive cruise. It used to be, I think it used to be cruise to the edge. Now it might be something else. I think he's doing that and then he's doing a couple of creed cruises. So I don't know, I might be waiting a little while for Eddie to come on the show, but I have.
Speaker 1:I did like he asked and I sent out an email. I'll probably have to send out a reminder because, like I said, he's busy and I know emails either can slip through the cracks or you just get too busy to answer. Yeah, look, he probably gets a couple hundred emails every day, if not more. So to expect him to answer anything right away really forget about it. So we'll just, you know, keep sending out some general reminders and get them. Get them on the show. Who else are we working on? Oh, joey Casada I don't know if I mentioned that one at all Joey Casada, who's the drummer in Z02. Paulie Z's bandmate actually reached out to him on his Facebook page and invited him to come on and he was like, yeah, okay, for sure. So it's just a matter of us being able to connect now and go from there and then schedule something. So looking into that, that's, that's, that's going to be a lot of fun. I'm really, really looking forward to that.
Speaker 1:And then I'm going to reach out to the guys in Angel. I know they've got a tour coming up or some tour dates coming up. I don't know if it's a, if it's a tour, so to speak. So I want to reach out to the guys in Angel, see if I can get them, maybe punky, maybe Frank, see if I can get them on. I'm going to reach out to Bruce Kulik. I don't know if I mentioned that before, but I'm reaching out to Bruce Kulik. See, by getting him on, I mean, the guys had. He's had a great career in music. Of course. He spent what? 10 or 12 years in Kiss. So just that alone. I'm sure there's a lot to cover there. And so just some, some of that. I'm going to reach out again to Mick Box from Uriah Heap and we'll just see what happens. I'm going to try to get these guys on. If not, it's no big deal. Eventually I think it'll happen.
Speaker 1:But I'm just going to continue to bring some good content to you guys. I do believe that the content that I, that I that I bring to this show is, is quality content, and I'm not going to let this meat go to waste since it's sitting here. So that's a really, really healthy pour and I'm supposed to just taste it. Wow, I'm trying to get me loaded on the on the show, oh, but it is good. It is good. I don't know For those of you who, who don't know what meat is, meat is like wine, but it's made with honey and not grapes. So there you go, and then you add whatever fruits or what other other flavorings that you want, but it's yeah, it's made with honey and not grapes. So I think it comes out really sweet, and for me, I love sweet. So there you go, I'll be all over this.
Speaker 1:So what else is going on with everyone? No one's calling and we've got like 34 minutes to go. Okay, so we have 34 minutes left of the show and no one has called in yet. Someone. Someone call in? All right, I know you're out there, so just pick up the phone and call. Don't be afraid to come on the air. I can't bite and I'll hold your hand through it if that's what it takes, you know. Oh man, we're down to three viewers. We were up to six. That's so awesome. Six is so good. That's our highest number to this point. It's funny. We get and I say we. Yes, of course I say we, and I've talked about it before. I say we, and that's because we're all. We're all included in this.
Speaker 1:I'm getting production notes here from from from Catherine. Oh, hey there, debbie Hutton, she left a. She left a comment. She says she left the room for a few minutes, so happy to see you take a drink. Oh gee, thanks. But yeah, catherine wants me to do music trivia. But what good is doing music trivia if no one calls in with an answer? If someone calls in to play ah we got a phone call, let's take it right here. Let's see, and hello, wait, wait, hello, you're on the air.
Speaker 2:Hey man, what's going on, buddy?
Speaker 1:Dino what's happening?
Speaker 3:Okay, first time caller long time listener.
Speaker 1:Yes, all right.
Speaker 3:Call it from San Diego.
Speaker 1:All the way in San Diego. Dino, that's my, that's my good buddy, who is married to Catherine's cousin, yvette. Yeah, so Dino's calling in. And because Dino's calling in, yep, like I said, that's part of the Mallorca Challenge. I got to take a drink here, dino, how you doing Good? Good, just have the granddaughter on one hand and the Yvette has the other one on the other hand.
Speaker 1:All right, all right, well, okay. Well, here it is, and I don't know if you were watching from the beginning, but I put a nasty bean, bean, boozled bean inside the bottom of this shot glass. So not only do I have this nasty Mallorca, but I have got it probably a very ugly jelly bean too.
Speaker 3:Wonderful wonderful.
Speaker 1:So here's to you, dino, all right.
Speaker 2:All right, my friend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cheers to you. Here goes down the hatch. Oh, that's just terrible. Oh gosh, that's terrible. Oh, although, oh, no, no, that bean is horrible too. I think I got barf. Oh, oh, that's bad, but look, that's the way it is right. I mean, that's how you get people to watch. You know you got to punish yourself. That's what it is. Oh, so how long are you in San Diego?
Speaker 2:We come back on Sunday. They fly back Sunday morning.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, so the kids just went for a quick hit and run.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, all right, cool, oh, that's bad. Yeah, I'm going to have to drink this, drink the rest of this me to wash out the nastiness of that. Mallorca. Perfect, perfect, all right. Hey, listen, thank you so much for all you've been. You've been giving me the clapping hands. Hey, thanks for calling in, dino, I appreciate it. All right, talk to you later. Hey, did you? Did you hear that? Did you hear the young ones in the background? Yes, yeah, I got grandma and grandpa babysitting. That's great. See, look us old folks, we can have fun too. It's not just the young whippersnappers out there having a good time. Us old folks are going to have fun too. So I appreciate Dino and Yvette checking in and watching the show and all that good stuff. Yeah, so, yeah, we're going to get that Mallorca out of my. It's sitting right on the back of my tongue. Oh, that's so much better. Yes, so where were we? Oh, we're 32 minutes now. Come on, you know Friday Night Live, you know Friday Night Live is an hour and but I need your participation too. So somebody call in. All right, so call in and look at that. This is okay Now. See the bottle. Here. You can see the level of. You know where the level is on this bottle.
Speaker 1:When I started Friday Night Live, that was well, this is the third Friday Night Live, but we're talking, I don't know, like a month ago. That was up to here, and I remember that first Friday Night Live I think it was the first Friday Night Live I don't remember that's how bad it was. I remember when the show was over, I was no, I wasn't lit, but I had a good buzz going, my jaw was like a little numb and because it was Friday Night and I had worked all week and it was a long week, I went straight to bed and, man, I've never had bedspins, but I think that I think I might have been having them that night. I don't remember, but anyway it was pretty bad. Oh, yvette, what's my favorite alcoholic drink? Well, you know, I like my tequila and you know, in the last couple of years we as a group you know my brother and Catherine, just you know the usual suspects, yvette, you know who I'm talking about. We've been, you know, I guess we've been educating ourselves even more on tequila, and tequila is something that I started drinking back gosh like in 2005.
Speaker 1:For those out there, I, like I told you, I'm not a big drinker. I'm really really not honest. But I remember going down to Cancun one year and it was in 05. And I went with my daughter and my son-in-law at the time and I said I'm going on vacation here. I got to, you know, figure something out, let's get into something.
Speaker 1:I don't smoke, so I don't, you know, want to smoke cigars or anything like that. That's just not appealing at all. That's nasty. I don't like beer, so I'm not going to drink beer. And I don't like wine, so I'm not going to drink wine.
Speaker 1:And we went down and I said, you know what I mean, I guess I could just try tequila and yes, I had tried it before, but not, you know, on any certain level. And so we go to Mexico and I'm thinking, all right, let's start trying this stuff. And I dragged my son-in-law around to every liquor store, every bar. They had a tequila bar on the sidewalk, stuff like that. And the liquor stores in Mexico they actually keep open bottles, whether it's in their cooler or like behind the counter, whatever it is, they keep open bottles and they sample you this stuff. And so I dragged my son-in-law all over Cancun, every bar, every liquor store, and we were trying all kinds of tequila and I would just go to the bar, the bartender, and I would ask the guy what do you like? And oh, catherine's opening up the studio door with oh, there's Jim too. Oh no, they're bringing they're bringing stout in here. Oh my God, they've already opened it.
Speaker 3:They're crashing the party.
Speaker 1:Oh geez Louise.
Speaker 3:Here Jim Carol and I said they're crashing the show.
Speaker 1:There's no chair over here, though.
Speaker 2:Oh, that could be solved, oh I think it's good.
Speaker 1:Well, you can get one Right there, Mr Chair. Well, yeah, but it's a short one though.
Speaker 2:I'll stand up.
Speaker 1:Hey, this is a family show, sorry.
Speaker 3:Okay, so this is.
Speaker 1:I'm being, I'm being crashed. Let me finish my, okay, before you get into that, let me finish my tequila story, since, since Yvette asked me what my favorite drink was, so I dragged, I dragged myself. You left the studio door open.
Speaker 1:So I dragged my son-in-law around to every bar, every liquor store, and I asked the guys whether it was a liquor store or at a bar. I said, you know? They said what do you want? And I said, well, I don't know. What do you like? Tell me about tequila, and they would tell me about it. They would, they would give me you know, they would share their knowledge of tequila with me. So that's kind of how I learned about tequila.
Speaker 1:Was talking to the guys in Mexico, in Cancun, and it was great. And I remember going to Cabo San Lucas, another tequila bar, right on the sidewalk it was called Monkey Bar and our monkey business that's what it was called, monkey business Talking to that guy and he said try this, try that. So you know, I would say that tequila maybe is my favorite, my favorite drink. Yvette, and right now I have to say, based on our tastings, on the tequila tastings that we've had in the past, jim Jim is he's keeping his face out of the camera, but he's he's sitting over here next to the table. There he is. But the one from our tastings of that that was like everyone's favorite was one called Cava de Oro.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:That one was really. That was delicious. That was actually one that that was a black bottle. Jim brought that one to the last tequila tasting we had and that was back in May of last year and I think we tried five different tequilas and that was everyone's favorite. I tried I, the one that I brought for the tasting was Thres Mujeres, and I thought it was going to be good and I mean it was okay, it was an extra Añejo. Let me take that. Let me let me explain the Cava de Oro is an extra Añejo.
Speaker 3:Why don't you explain to them the differences?
Speaker 1:Well, there's, which means extra age. There's, there's. There's four different, there's four different levels of tequila. There's Blanco, which is like straight out of the. You know, it's just produced, Just distilled, boom goes in the bottle. No age at all. That's your clear stuff.
Speaker 1:Then there's Reposado, that means rested. That's usually aged anywhere between three months and it can go as long as 13 months, but not really. And those are the ones that have a little color to them. They'll have a little more flavor. Usually the clear ones, the Blanco ones, will will. What the flavor you're getting out of those is the Agave, straight Agave, and then you'll get a little bit of the alcohol flavor too. Wait, wait, hang on. You asked me to explain. See, she's taking over, trying to take over the show. She asked me to do something and I'm doing it right, I'm doing it for you. Oh my gosh, these two.
Speaker 1:So then there's Reposado, Like I said, which means rested, and that's when you start to get some of the flavorings from the barrels that they're aged in that kind of stuff and you get a little further away from the Agave flavor. Then you have on Yeho, which is aged, which can be aged anywhere between 12 months to about three years, and you pick up more barrel flavoring in your on Yeho's. So if it's a smoky barrel it can be woodsy, that kind of stuff that's in your on Yeho's. You get a strong barrel flavor in those and then you have extra on Yeho, which means extra age and that'll be anywhere from, you know, three years to whatever, and that's when it really starts to settle down and I think it starts to really mellow out. You get so many wonderful flavors and a romes in an extra on Yeho and when we do our tequila tastings we do on Yeho's and extra on Yeho's and we keep it at that.
Speaker 1:So the long-winded answer to your question, Yvette, is when it comes to tequila, which is my favorite liquor, Hava de Oro extra on Yeho Right now it's my favorite until we get into something else. But Katherine and Jim busted into the studio and they brought this Imperial stout from the brewery which you're all familiar with, If you, and if you're not, go back and watch the stout tasting. We talk a lot about the brewery, Okay, or?
Speaker 2:go there.
Speaker 1:Well, if you're in SoCal, you can go there. If you're somewhere else in the country, well, you can't. But the brewery is one of our favorite places to go hang out. Yvette is saying hello to both you and Katherine and you, Jim.
Speaker 3:Hi, how you about? So this one has a different.
Speaker 2:This is blueberry.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this one's blueberry. Yes 19 ABV Very strong.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this one, this one, this one. We were saving it for a stout tasting. Well, so much for saving it right.
Speaker 3:Well, we need two bottles for the stout tasting. We can't get another one. That's why we decided.
Speaker 1:Do they not have this one anymore?
Speaker 3:Really, they're out of they're out of Big Blue.
Speaker 2:Stack Unless I have it in my box.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I don't know we can get that one.
Speaker 1:But this is called Big Blue Stacks. It's blueberry pancakes. It's an imperial stout.
Speaker 3:Let me put my glasses on here and this one isn't as thick in the taste Like in the consistency.
Speaker 1:It's double bourbon barrel aged with blueberries, maple syrup and natural maple flavor, so it's like drinking a stack of blueberry pancakes with maple syrup it tastes good.
Speaker 2:It's good, it's not overpowering, this isn't even a taste.
Speaker 3:This is all full on four, that's three ounces.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, you guys, you're trying to get me loaded here.
Speaker 2:Put your fucking wine in, oh my gosh oh jelly beans John.
Speaker 1:Big Blue, yes, big Blue.
Speaker 3:That's right what. That's what it's called. Oh yeah, big Blue, wait, you turn the bottle.
Speaker 1:What? Oh, turn it back so they can see the label. Yeah, let's put it back here.
Speaker 2:The brewery is on right off the 57, on Orange Thorn, right off of Orange Thorn. Just one block west of the 57.
Speaker 3:You can really taste the blueberry, in that there's not coffee taste at all, oh well, there's no coffee in it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no.
Speaker 3:I know, but the line of the stops we've been tasting are coffee profile.
Speaker 1:No, you can really taste the blueberry in this.
Speaker 2:They did a good job on it. This is delicious.
Speaker 1:It's not the overpowering, but it's not real thick like the viscosity.
Speaker 3:You can see like the sort of the bourbon.
Speaker 1:I feel like we're doing another tasting here.
Speaker 3:Should I go feel like the devil?
Speaker 1:No, no, no.
Speaker 3:No, no, no no.
Speaker 1:Yvette, we wish you were here too, and we will enjoy. This is to you, Yvette.
Speaker 3:Okay to you and Dino.
Speaker 1:And wait, sloan, did you hear Dino calling to the show? Yeah, dino called in. Dino called in. Maybe take a drink, wow, okay, no, this is yeah, actually. This is really good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you actually have like two more bottles of that malort, so you could do.
Speaker 1:I've been doing Friday Night Live with the malort challenge for quite a while you should drink some of your good stuff. But then it's not a punishment.
Speaker 3:So you want people to punish you.
Speaker 1:The whole point is if there's a punishment, punish you. That's a different kind of punishing, though. The whole point is the punishment is that's supposed to. That's the room next door. Yeah, that's the red room that's supposed to entice people to call if I'm going to be punished. Yeah, okay, this is really good though this blueberry stack. Yeah, we've got five views. You know, we were up. We were up to six views at one point it was awesome.
Speaker 3:Well, a lot of times, if people don't click, it doesn't show the views, because you can watch it and not click into it.
Speaker 1:Oh, really yeah oh.
Speaker 3:So even though you're in live, it doesn't so I oh so more people.
Speaker 1:I guarantee I have like 50,000 viewers right now and only five of them have clicked in. That's it, 50,000. We're going with that. 50,000 people are watching this right now. It's so awesome, From coast to coast and around the world.
Speaker 3:Well, they're like yeah.
Speaker 1:Wait a minute. Speaking of around the world. This is awesome. Catherine just told me today that we picked up another listener in Brazil. That means and when I say listener, that's strictly the audio. So that's through Buzzsprout that we get these numbers and these statistics and it could be on Apple Podcast. It could be on oh, who's calling? Oh, time out, let's see. Hello, you're on the air. Hey, Uncle Ben Anita, what's going on? I?

Speaker 3:I saw Anthony Catherine take her, I was like, oh my God, we got to go, well, well, you see us on the air, jim and I. We crashed the.
Speaker 1:Yeah, jim and Catherine. They just crashed into the studio here they're bringing Imperial Stouts. Jim keeps bringing me like he brought me some bourbon drink mead. The mead was really good, the bourbon not so much. I didn't like that infused, whatever it was.
Speaker 3:I tell you, this is one strong. It says also Jim brings a party.
Speaker 2:That's why. So the bourbon drink that I invented is called a wild cream pie, another red room drink.
Speaker 1:Yep, what's the challenge with the red room? There's no. No, it's just that. It's just that, there's Okay.
Speaker 3:I don't know where I got red room from.
Speaker 1:I just said it. You said the room next door, I said the red room.
Speaker 2:If you hear belt slapping yeah, baby.
Speaker 1:No, well, it started because I said that there's a Malort challenge and Catherine said well, why do I have to drink Malort? And I said, well, it's a punishment and it entices people to call in and be a part of the show. If there's some kind of a punishment for me, the host, and so for everyone that calls in, I have to take a shot of this nasty Malort, which is the worst tasting alcohol ever.
Speaker 3:Well, it should only be. If they ask you to taste it, take it.
Speaker 1:That's not the point. So.
Speaker 3:I keep that call in, so I called in.
Speaker 1:You did call in what if you had 10 phone calls, I would be 10 shots deep and 10 sheets to the wind. I would probably fall out right here on the show.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm going to say that there are alcohol in there. And then, after the first challenge, yeah, I realized there was alcohol.
Speaker 1:Oh, this is nasty stuff.
Speaker 2:Then he's got one of those nasty beans and he adds to it.

Speaker 1:Please, oh my gosh, I can't believe. You know. You know, I take this show seriously. You guys are turning this into a drunk show. It should be fun. Well it is. I have a lot of fun doing this and engaging.
Speaker 3:I look, I have a ton of the thing is that there's something like he does Stump Mark on live.
Speaker 1:What's that?
Speaker 3:What Mark Consuelo? What happened yeah.
Speaker 1:Anyway, so so the segment is going to be called Stump the Chump.
Speaker 2:That's awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can do that, I like that and look, and Jim Jim gets full credit for that I used to do that with all my customers. Jim gets full credit for Stump the Chump. That is awesome, see, and that's a great.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you could research everything right now and get ready and watch the watch the.
Speaker 1:Please, that's a great shift. That's a great because Eddie Trunk when he did that metal show he had a segment called Stump the Trunk. So I love that Stump the Chump that is awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:Jim, you get full credit, of course, for that one.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I invented it, but that's what I would do.
Speaker 1:Well, I don't know if you invented it either, but you get full credit, of course, for that.
Speaker 2:So so yeah, you guys do your homework and get ready to make Ben puke.
Speaker 1:And I don't know about puking, but yes, so so. So that means what happened.
Speaker 2:I can just, that's just the thought of Malort. You know like if you're going to puke, your mouth gets all water, so look like, like Catherine said, I have two more full bottles unopened of the Malort.
Speaker 1:Okay, so we'll have the Malort out next Friday. Stump the Chump, Come up. Thank you, dino, appreciate that.
Speaker 3:Did he get it?
Speaker 1:No, no Dino, no Dino. He said it's a great show, oh I thought he got it. So no, nobody's come up with the answer yet. So, the question was what journey album does the song State of Grace come on or?
Speaker 3:a Pira, a Pira, since no one got it, I'll give it.
Speaker 1:I'll wait till the end of the show which we're going to wrap up, because we're over time right now, but yeah, so, so we'll do stump the Chump next week. And for every I guess for every question I get wrong, I've got to take a shot. I got to take a shot of Malort and just for fun, this, this Spock shot glass, is going to sit right here on the table.
Speaker 2:No, one could do it.
Speaker 1:It's okay. Well, it's just, it's okay. They're going to sit right here on the table all week long. Whatever is is in the bottom of the glass is just going to ferment for the week. Yeah, I love it. The only thing that would be better is to take them, a Lord, and put it in the trunk of your car. Let it bake a little bit. It's awesome.
Speaker 1:So I guess it's about it then, Nobody's yeah, nobody's come up with the answer, so we'll just call it and I'll give the answer. The answer to the question and the question was what journey album features the song State of grace? That album is red 13, which is an EP that came out in 2002. Just so you know. Anyway, all right, look, we're out. We're going to call this one. This is Friday. Oh wait, hang on, hang on, hold on, I did something right here. We hit something. Let me cancel it.
