Great to have you as always. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t I don’t know how many times now. I’ve lost count between either being on your guys show or you guys coming on my show. Um I mean, I think we’re at least over the double digits at this point when it comes to both sides with both shows here. So, uh but it’s been but it’s been a while though. So, we have a lot to catch up on. We have a lot of drinks to drink here today. Yeah. What are you doing here? I’m trying to get this. Trying to find a cord here, people. I don’t know what he’s trying to do here. I thought this was all set up. What is your problem here? There’s one thing. No, it’s it’s never it’s never all set up here. There’s always something going on. I noticed that. We’re good. Okay, we know what we’re doing here. So, Bum Wine Bob, great to have you back. Um, uncle has what was going on was uncle’s been noticing your what Instagram post, right? Uncle your Instagram poster here with a with a light. It looks like No, no, no. But I’m just saying uncle in general, you’ve been like uh following uh Bumline Bob’s Instagram or his social media because you were mentioning like, “Look, Bob’s got this beer. We need to drink this beer.” Wait, wait. I’ve been watching you. Uh you you you finally came out with something this spear and I still waiting to see which one you showed up with and you’ve ended up this one. Mhm. Yeah. So, uh lately you’ve been doing lots of posts. I know one of them was Colt 45 and for whatever reason, Bob, I know that I noticed that uncle showed me something like look what Bob has and it was Colt 45. Mhm. So, I was like, “Oh, okay. So, why don’t we start the show with you telling us the news with what’s been going on in the world of Colt 45? What’s been going on with them? Yeah. So, so there’s been quite a bit of a controversy uh over the past year or so with Colt 45. Um, for people that know, uh, for years and years and years, uh, Cold 45 was brewed by the Paps Brewing Company, the same people that bring you PBR and a bunch of different beers, um, under their umbrella. Uh, I think it was in the middle of last year in 2025, uh, Paps outsourced their brewing to Anheiser Bush instead. M so if you know classic Colt 45 it was you know the white label the clear glass bottle like the classic 40 oz if you’re getting a 40 ounce of it is a classic clear glass 40 oz bottle now with the switch to Annheiser Bush for brewing they made the switch also with the bottle for the 40s to the brown bottle similar to like a King Cobra um Hurricane hurricane. There’s a few other 40s that are in this brown bottle. Um, even Budweiser, Bud Light, Bud Ice, any of the the Anheiser Bush Brewed 40s were all in these fatter brown glass bottles. and all the the people like us that that really follow follow these things the the as I call ourselves the the degenerate drinkers out there um see this stuff and it’s like oh man they changed how it’s brewing it it’s not going to be the same taste is going to be different so we were kind of on this search for months to try to find these new 40s and we finally did a few months back we tried them out on the podcast and we were a little disappointed that we didn’t think it tasted the same anymore because, you know, you move it to a new brewery, just a different brewing process. Something with the formula must have gotten changed in the process. And now it’s been this controversy of, okay, people loved all these classic 40s, the Cole 45, as people know, Billy D. Williams, the the classic commercials of Colt 45 and now they switched the process. The bottles don’t look the same and it upset a lot of people. Um, I mean, we drank it. We’re like, “Okay, it’s not bad by any means.” And and you guys will we’ll crack it open. We’ll see what you guys think about it. See what Uncle thinks. That’s going to be the big the big point here is going to be what does Uncle think of the Colt 45 uh to see. But but that’s been in a in a nutshell the the cliffnotes version here. If you want to hear more about it, we did a few podcasts in the Bing with Bobcat archives. You can hear us talk about the more of the controversy with Cold 45, but I figure probably the best way to get into it is probably to crack it open. I think we should probably dive in. Yeah. Yeah. Well, let’s have it pop open here then. Let’s get Are you going for it, Uncle? What they talking about when pop it in? Okay. Uncle’s going for it. He’s opening opening up the bed because we do what we did was we got the cans. We don’t have the 40 that you were speaking of, Bob, but I You didn’t find the 40. We do have the cans. Uh it was kind of tough finding this to be honest, but I did. Yeah, that’s a whole story, too, that we could go over me going down to uh Magnolia Avenue here. I saw I saw the I saw the post you put out there earlier uh of your searching in the store and then picking up the cans. I see you guys got the uh the 16 cans, right? Of the Colt 45 for It’s the It’s the big ones. The big cans. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It’s Yeah, it’s the big 16. 16 oz. Yeah, it’s a 16 oz. Sure is. That’s the big can. It’s It’s big enough. Yeah. Well, I got Well, I got I got the bigger Well, I I did get a 40 and I did get a 25 ounce can of Colt 45. So, I’m I’m cracking open here today the the 25 ounce can of Cold 45. So, a little bit bigger than Mine’s a little bit bigger than you guys. So, don’t don’t be upset. Okay. Yeah. I’ll try not to be. It’s the same drink though. What What are you really arguing about? So, we the same drink that we’re drinking out of the can, out of the bottle or whatever he’s got. Exactly. Exactly. So, what’s the point? That brewery thing. I mean, I could comment on that, too, because I have noticed off of uh one of the highways here, there’s this famous brewery that had this Miller sign that was up forever. The Miller signs down. It says something else now. And they always had PBR uh on the side of their building, and that’s still there. So, I assume that’s all part of this whole like switchover thing. And but it’s it that’s probably going on. Yeah, it’s all the controversy out there. So, yeah. And I’m gonna I’m gonna pop this guy. Yeah, let’s open it up. I got it. Get in here. All right then. All right, everybody. The drinks are open. Drinks are open. All right. You ready to dive in? Let’s take a drink here. All right. Cheers, guys. Okay. Oh. All right. I’ll say not yet. Yeah. Who Who gets to comment here first, Uncle on their first impression? The the new guy, drunken Bob. The drunken Bob. He’s the one when it starts it. We go around. We go this way. We go this way. We’re going that we’re going that way. On the clockwise. You know how it works. I do. Well, why don’t we ask a question for Cuz I was testing you to see if you knew. I know. He knows. Okay. So, Bob, what’s what’s your first thought here? So, I I think it’s still a solid beer. I mean, malt liquor, beer, whatever you want to call it these days. Um, definitely still drinkable. I mean, if you know the the classic cold 45 taste, it might be a little bit different. Uh, but for somebody like uncle, I don’t know if uncle’s ever had is uncle have you ever had colt 45 before? That’s a good question. Yeah. Uncle, have you had this? I don’t think so. No, really. This is what’s surprising me. Okay. And the taste the same cool beer, but it’s got a something to it. Yeah. You don’t know it yet. I have to figure what I’m putting in. Now, I’ll I’ll speak for me. I have definitely had this before. I’ve had every malt liquor. You did? And also, yeah. TW me in my 20s living in Columbus, Ohio. I I have had all of them. I’ve had all the 40s. I drank a lot of 40s. Uh, and also finding this thing if I was back in Ohio at those times. I could have fallen rolled out of bed and found this thing. It was a little harder to do today driving all around Riverside, but we got it and it was fun. And back to the taste, the simple taste of this. I think I see what you’re saying, Bob, is that it seems like a different taste. Like it doesn’t have that malt liquor taste even. I don’t know. It tastes like a beer. Like you’re saying, it tastes like a beer, not like a malt liquor drink. What the heck’s going on? Eats like a beer. Is that to me? Is it? It’s still malt liquor though, right? I I think See, a few years back, even before this, they changed the branding on the cans to call it the classic American logger instead of a malt liquor. But to everybody else, we still were saying, “Okay, it’s still a malt liquor.” But now with this switch, the taste is it is more of a beer taste. Doesn’t have that like if you know malt liquor, they all have that little like that twang to it of Yeah. Yeah, it does. You know, I mean, if you drank Mickey’s, King Cobra, Old English, any of that stuff, you know that the malt liquor has this very distinct taste to it. And the Cole 45 now, as Uncle says, tastes just like a beer, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It It’s definitely drinkable. It’s not offensive at all. No. But it’s just if you know if you know the old school Coke 45. It’s just It’s It’s different. Yes, it hits different as the youth say. And yeah, it’s it’s weird. I’m seeing that on the can right now, too, Bob. It does say that logger thing. I’m looking around to see if it says malt beverage. I don’t see it say that. I don’t see it says that. It does say logger. So, it’s that does beg a lot of questions. It’s It’s definitely brewed different. Whatever the case may be, tastes like a beer. Missing that twang or ting or whatever you called it there, Bob. It’s It’s missing that. I definitely know that taste well and it’s not there anymore. But, Uncle, what what do you think for taste here? What’s going on with this taste? I’m still I’m still into it. You’re perplexed by this, aren’t you? Is it You got to drink more of it to find out. Okay, that’s Yeah, get a few more sips. It’s a big You got that big can there, so you can take your time and uh really think about it. Uncle, I will say that one of the places I went to today down on Magnolia was called Nice Liquor and Video. Nice Liquor and Video. Uh, we’re going to put this stuff on tax on your taxes. Taking getting your beards. We’re going to write off these Colt 45s and tax on taxes. Hey, why not? We just get his money back. I mean, it makes sense, don’t it? We’re doing a review on the podcast. I know. I’m doing a podcast on the on the beers and then it goes towards the uh program. I mean I mean to save you money, we can do that at least. You’re no CPA, Uncle, but I think what you’re saying is in essence potentially correct. I might be able to actually write this off. You can write it off. You can write it off. There we go. Why not? Business expense going on. Well, mean I mean, how much did did you pick up, Aaron? Did you pick up just two single cans of of co 5 or was it like a a fourpack or a six-ack of those? This is two single cans and two cans cost $3, which is I think is a great deal actually. Two cans $6. Yep. Two cans for three. I mean, $3. Not bad. Not bad. Yeah, you can mine it off for your taxes. I mean, hey, you want money back? Mhm. Done. That’s the way to go. We all want money back. Well, there we go. Exactly. Exactly. We want to write these this off. I was thinking I was thinking of it uh already uh of all the ones we did the testing on. Yeah. Of all the drinks. Mhm. Write them off. Okay. On on that I did on the show. I mean that way you get money back. Hey, I’m into it, Uncle. Well, yeah. At least something, right? I’ll also say this, Bob. When I was bouncing around to the different carry outs, I ended up getting a couple different additional drinks that maybe we could have you back on to have. I got the um MD 2020 uh dragon fruit flavor. Oh, you do? You got that, too? Yeah, because I knew you would like that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I love dragon fruit. There you go. That’s I picked that up at nice uh nice liquor and video. And then I got a camo uh for loco at a place that just said liquor on it. Oh, so you gotten a couple of bees. I got a couple. I went to a couple places. I got a couple different drinks for later. Well, what the heck is that camo thing, Bob? That’s a flavor. What flavor is that? It’s a flavor. It’s a flavor. Um, it I think it tastes like if you if you crushed up a whole bunch of like Smarties. Oh, no. And put that into a drink is kind of what four loco camo tastes like. We’ll test We’re testing these ones you bought now. Now, yeah. Yeah, we can have him back maybe have you back on it. Yeah, man. Definitely I mean I’ve definitely had him before, but I’m I’m more than happy to uh give him another shot, you know. Yeah, give him We got a couple. I didn’t know we went out and got a couple more. I was real tempted by another Forloo that was USA themed. It said like USA for What the heck is that thing? Yes. Yes. For loco USA. That is like a uh it’s like a sour cherry type flavor. All right. 10. All right. Well, I got the camo one because it was an orange camo and I’m partial orange camo. Uncle has a shirt with the same colors. I was like, “Yeah, we’ll get the camo one.” So, couple things on couple things on deck. But right now, we got to focus. We got to focus in on Colt 45. Uh, and this this this number. I I had a coworker in years past. I I think I remember who it was, but I remember them calling it Billy D. They called the drink. itself Billy D because it’s like oh yeah you’re drinking Billy D. Like yeah tonight that’s what we got. So drinking Billy D. We’re drinking Billy D. Billy D. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah we don’t often have beers. This is a modest exception of just getting a test done. It’s only a test done. It’s only a test. It’s this is only a test of the emergency. It’s only a test. It’s all for science here. This is a science here. Uh, where’s our drop glasses? I thought about getting the drop glasses. And in fact, I thought about actually tasting it out of a drop glass. Uh, but I’m I’m just going for it. And it’s not really meant it’s not really meant for that. I mean, this is you drink it out of the can. Yeah. Right. I mean, you could pour it out if you wanted to, but it’s it’s very rare you see anybody pouring out a Colt 45 out of either a can or a a 40 bottle into a into a glass. Yeah. It’s a little too little too refined, Uncle. Oh, yeah. Oh, did you get Oh, by the way, did we send one to him? Oh, yeah. Did we send you a shot glass, right, Bob? Did we send you one? Uh, no. I think I I missed your cut off for you were you were sending them out right before New Year’s and you said you were sending them out that day. Then I saw the message later on. Oh, okay. And I think I had just um missed it before you had sent him out over there. Um, but it’s always next time. Next round. Next round of glasses. We’ll uh we can Okay, cool. Okay. What’s his name? Yeah. Yeah, we’ll see. We’ll see. Ask him. We will see about that. Some more. Yeah. But uh Okay. So, Colt 45. Flavor is good. Flavor is obviously different. New brewery. We’re drinking out of the cans. Two for $3. Pretty good deal. Uh especially in today’s economy, that’s pretty cheap, I would say. So they they’ve got that right. They’ve got the price right. That’s important on this beverage. Oh, $3 a pin. That is a good buy. I was just making sure he did it right. I’m getting these. You got You got it. You got to keep modest over there. You know that P is um well with cheap beer I can understand. And for the price get it down at point where you did three. So, so two for six. So, that’s not bad. Uncle, I And speaking of price, I got something that you’re going to be excited about, too. I went out looking for these drinks. I happened upon one of those mailbox stores where you rent out mailboxes. Oh, wow. Finally got Hey, Ed. He’s got a mailbox key. Well, I Let’s go. I didn’t actually commit to buying. A darn it. I thought we already started. I was dead excited. But I did get a list of prices and I will say they are the lowest prices I have seen. And I I I heard you talking about it, but I didn’t want to. The person at the counter was boasting too like, “Yeah, we’re the cheapest place you’re going to find here.” I’m like, “Well, I think you’re right cuz I I seem What is the cost that you buy for?” Uh what was the price of it? I’m just going to label it pretty good. I’m going to label it pretty good. It’s a pretty good price. pretty good price trying to find out what the price is. We We might It’s manageable. So, I might go back there and open up a box. Like, it’s it’s been a long time since I’ve had a box because Yeah, it’s a Do Do you ever uh use those mailboxes, Bob, for your uh podcasting needs and all that? Do you have a mailbox that you rent out? I do not. I do not. No. No. I had thought I had thought about it before, but I mean I don’t mean I might Are you guys getting a lot of stuff sent your way that you you have the need for uh for a mailbox or at one time? Yes. One time it was going crazy. It was handy to have. It was going crazy with the mail coming out. And they used to be pretty affordable. there. I’ve I’ve used many of them over the years and they were always affordable, but the past five years at least, they’ve really jumped up in price, man. So, yeah. Well, that that’s every everything these days is just keeps going up and up in price and especially that when it comes to mail related things, uh constantly every every day is saying, “Oh, the the post office is is going bankrupt. You know, it’s it’s going to be out of business in two years.” Like, oh, great. Here we go. Here we go again. Yep. Yep. Constant story. But uh yeah, good. I mean, it’d be interesting if you guys, you know, if you have the need for it over there and if you have people sending you stuff and you want to, you know, okay, send it to the to the PO box. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Worry about it being sent to your house. I think I think that would help. It helps that better cuz like for example, I had uh m Mr. Ed. No, the one that sent the glasses. Oh, that was a creative accent. Crazy Accidents sent the glasses. And at the time, he didn’t have a mount box. It’s worth mentioning that we haven’t heard from Crazy Accents for a while either. So, Crazy Accidents, if you’re out there, let us know. We don’t know what happened to you, man. I hope you’re okay. I don’t know. I He’s somebody who’s just almost always every week and he’s been gone for a while, so I don’t know. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, you would even reach out to you would even reach out to me from time to time and would say, “Hey, you know, the uncle was talking about you on the on the podcast this week.” Like, you got to check it out. I’m like, “All right, let me I better go back and I better go listen to it there.” So, yeah. Hopefully hopefully all is well with him over there. Yeah. Yeah. We I I appreciate that, Bob. Yeah, that just shows you how how engaged of a uh He’s the one that got he’s the one that got us the drop glasses. Yes, he got that. He made had them made. He had them sent to us. It was really something. Talking veggie Bob smells like a shelter. It smell Yeah, we’re drinking cold foot. We’re We’re getting comments about the smell in here. Does it smell like Drinking Bob is on. Yeah. Yeah. Drinking Bob is with us. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that when he’s on, he brings us the beer, the new bees. Yes.

That’s the new one. Oh god, I haven’t heard about that one yet. It keeps getting worse out there. It’s even worse than the Econo Lodge down on uh Magnolia Avenue, which I was I was by that. Did I mention that, Uncle? I was by the Econo Lodge. I saw a woman on the street. The Econo Lodge. Well, no. I saw a woman that busted soliciting a John. What the heck did you do? Wasn’t me. He was brown. He was on the bridge. Sounds like sounds like Papa Wayne we just had that I was listening to just a moment ago. And you and Bigunk going nuts here. Yeah. Big drunk Bob. They went from the shelter to the Econo Lodge. It’s getting shadier. I was going to say you’re brown bagging it out in the parking lot of the Econo Lodge now. Yeah. Well, I mean at first I was I really made a mistake. I went to the grocery store looking for this drink. I’m like, it was not there. I went to 7-Eleven, nowhere in sight. I’m like, I gotta get serious about this search. So, I went down to Magnolia Avenue. And you know, you got to go where where where it’s at. And you know, you see some things. One of the carry outs is next to a plasma donation center, of course. A lot where all the action is. That’s you go. These guys hitting all the spots. Yeah, we in the spot.

I mean, that ad ad campaign definitely worked cuz we all remember it to this day, decades later. So, yeah. The only thing The only thing that’s confusing, Aaron, is I want to test bum wine Bob for just a moment and see about his level of expertise. Do you remember by chance the slogan, the main slogan of that ad campaign with Billy D? It works every time. Ah, nice. That was definitely one of them. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Well studied. Trust me, I’ i’ve gone through I I found I found the commercials. I mean Yeah. I mean, and I mean, I I turn I turned 40 last year, so I wasn’t in the the wheelhouse, you know, back at the time of the Billy D commercials, but I’ but I’ve gone back and I’ I’ve studied I’ve studied set commercials. Quiet here. It’s mandatory. I’ve gone through out there and I I’ve posted a lot of them as well on my YouTube channel and and just putting them out there for people that like, hey, maybe you haven’t seen it before. So, uh, Can’t go wrong. No, definitely. But I love that because look, I’m I’m 53. I’ll be 54 on Tuesday. So for me, it was like Billy D was on TV and then he was Lando Calissian real quick. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, I mean, how can you beat it? You know, the only man of color on Star Wars is like it works every time. The the lady the ladies love the Colt 45. Those say I don’t know how many ladies over at the Econo Lodge are drinking Colt 45, but at least half of Cold 45, of course. Hey, listen. As as long as they’re not drinking and immediately going over to the plasma donation joint, it’s okay, right? I mean, drink responsibly. Yes. I’m I’m just saying the purpose of this story was I took the search for malt liquor seriously. Oh, and and trust. Hey, Erin, I I appreciate that. We we always say that we love to go out there. The thrill of the search is always fun. Going out to these stores and seeing the environments and the people out there that you come across when you have to go into some questionable areas at times to find this stuff because as you said, it’s not at your local grocery store, convenience store for some of these things. So, you kind of have to make that turn down some of those roads that you’re like, I could get shot. I don’t know. It might happen. Shot. Oh, no. Back back in Ohio. That was my favorite part. I was just going to say that’s my favorite part. That’s I’m sorry. That’s my favorite part of Bob’s show is when it’s like, okay, so we couldn’t find it nearby, so time for a road trip. And he might be sitting there saying, you know, look, we got to cross. He’s got strategy and everything. We might be crossing state lines. Look, we know we can’t go to the nice place that sells you wine. We got to go to the liquor sto that doesn’t have an R nor an E. Or maybe it does have an E. Doesn’t matter on the side. That’s most some of these some of these places that he gets his new beers from. I call them new beers because he finds them and he tells you about them. That’s why I call new beers. New beers. But but what I’m saying is most of them have to be I’m say in a liquor store more than being in a grocery store. I have fond memories because nobody will go into the grocery store. Um, man’s coming out with a 12-pack of beer. It’s party day, boy. There’s There’s But then they going nuts going out there and going to get the There’s a lot of There’s a lot of real life in those sorts of places. And I honestly I I love them. I I love and and and the only places that have them is the liquor stores. More likely. More likely. That’s where you have to hit them there. very likely have to hit him there. So, and they might rent you a video. So, from now on, for for now on when he gets new beers, when Crazy Drunken Bob tells us he got a new beer, go to those bars. Go to those places. Absolutely. I mean, don’t go to the Don’t go to the grocery stores. Just go to the liquor stores and I think you’ll find them. I mean, it makes you know you have arrived. Right. And you know you have arrived at the proper location when they’re still willing to rent you a VHS tape. So it’s it’s she’s such a nice lady behind a counter. I honestly that’s nice uh nice liquor and video is where I bought the dragon fruit MD 2020. And part of that was just because like I saw the lady behind the counter. I’m like this lady’s been through it. I know working down here. That’s what I was going to say. I I know what she’s drawn through. Yeah. Nobody’s drawn down to your last drinks. Okay. Official time. You’re drawn you’re drawn down to your last 7 to 15 minutes. But as you draw down, that was going to be my observation is I guarantee before you said it, I was going to say I guarantee you looked in that woman’s face and you knew she saw things. Oh man. Just by the look in her eyes. She was the nicest. I was going to say, did did she did they still have the uh the special curtain with the special VHS’s behind the uh the the in the back corner? The swinging beads. The swinging beaded curtain. I got I got to go back I got to go back to the store on on that one. Uh you do? Yeah. I got to see if they do have that because I was I was looking so hard for the drinks. I didn’t notice that, but I’ll bet that they probably did. And yeah, it was He didn’t have time to Yeah, he didn’t have time to fully peep. He didn’t have time to fully He was on a mission. He was on a mission to find the Cole 45 today. So, you can go back at your leisure next week and then really take your time and browse the whole store. Absolutely. Well, that’s where you soak in everything behind the beaded curtain. Exactly. So, could go crazy Bob. We um your job, you know what your job is? Oh, he knows. Is when he gets the new ones, we go running after him. That’s exactly what happened. And that’s what he knows his work. He knows. See, that’s what I mean about a man like him. I see. He knows his job. He knows the job. You got to get that practice sidekick. He’s a man who knows the plan. He’s and knows what he’s doing. And I, Uncle, I’m That’s what I like this dude. For once, I think I know what I’m doing. I He does. I realize that we actually have to review this drink before we run out of time. We better review this quick. Hurry up. Fine. I kill some time off. This is nice. Uncle, who need needs to give the review one to 10 first? You know who does? The guest. The guest. Okay. Nobody asking these questions, man. It goes to the guest, then to me, and then I finish the show. Clockwise. And that’s how we operate. So, it’s in a clockwise motion. Yeah. Also, the batting order. Batting order. So the batting water you and then me. Yes. And then unless unless Chuck has something to He doesn’t have a drink unfortunately. No, I don’t have booze tonight. No booze for Chuck tonight because of various medications, injuries, etc. So thing is I am sidelined. So the batting order leads off with big drunk Bob. His official or the drinker the drinker here as as drink him. the drinker. The official drinker of the podcast. Let’s have one of these. Say, “All right, so this this is a tough one for me. I have to say the more I I’ve drank this, you know, quote unquote new Colt 45 recently, um, I was torn in my my vote here because I knew I knew it was coming. I’m I’m I’m no stranger. I know that I got to give this thing a a ranking. I I got to give it a number here.” And at first I wanted to say a 7.5, but I think I might push it to an eight. I I think it’s smooth. I think it, as Billy D says, it works every time. It might not be the same as the classic Colt 45, but it’s still drinkable. It’s still good. So, I’m going to give it an eight. All right. Solid rating. Eight out of 10. Uncle, that’s what uh Bob gives this drink. You want to hear what I have to think? Oh, you’re next, aren’t you? Okay. Won’t have. So, for Colt 45, the new one out of the can, new brewery, uh, a logger now. I guess not a malt liquor. Uh, I like this. Um, the taste is really good. Like the taste, it’s almost like a beer. It’s not like a malt liquor. Oh man. I’m gonna give it an eight and a half out of 10 because I do actually think this is pretty good. I’m surprised how good it is. Eight. Eight and a half out of 10. Uncle Eight out of 10. 8.5 out of 10. Yeah. Where are you coming in on this one? It’s down to you. Drunk. Drunk job. Drunk Bob. I think you got something here. A delicious over-the-top. These people don’t know how to rate these things. So that over the top. So that means 10 out of 10. Of course. That’s what I say. Why? Why do I say over the top? Over the top. He’s going above and above and beyond. You guys don’t know how to drink. You guys can’t even do it properly. We don’t. You don’t. We don’t know how to drink here. I’m sorry. We’re here to learn. I know. That’s why you’re teaching. I’m I’m the teacher teaching the students like this again. Class is in session. Test in session. So, we got an eight out of 10 from Bob, 8.5 out of 10 from me, and 10 out of 10 from you, Uncle. That’s uh what you rated Steel Reserve. I remember so many years ago. We did do a review of that years ago. And you gave that 10. That’s I saw a few of them on the shelves today, too. It’s that’s another You saw them? I saw a couple. You want some? I didn’t buy any of them. Oh wow. We could have We know that number. I know my number would have been that number. Yeah. So I been before we go, Bob, we’ll hand it back to you.
