Alright, so here's what I'm dealing with right now. I've got a dog that's a fucking lunatic, Ross, as you guys may know. Now he's on the bed with me. But it seems as though he's chasing something in the house. And it seems like it's something invisible. Like it doesn't exist, right? Like we've been watching him throughout the day. And like he'll be in the house and he'll just start following. Like he'll go into a room and just follow just follow the nothingness right so like Jelly's sitting here and she's like do you think he's got dementia or something like no he didn't have fucking dementia he's probably it's probably a bug or something like this dog is obsessed with chasing flies right he likes to chase flies and and as i've seen now there are flies in the house because we left the door open for a while yesterday so he can go in and out while we were sitting outside drinking beer, having a good time playing Yahtzee. So now I can't get this dog to stop jumping around and trying to get the fly and then I'm trying to find the fly swatter in the house and I can't find

the fly swatter in the house. Like this is the situation, we used to have a fly swatter like an extendable one, like you pull the little fucking thing, see I see this goddamn fly is flying around in this bedroom. Now the dog is in another room. I just need this dog to somehow eat this fly. That's what I need. This is the situation I'm left with right here.

I understand you've got your own problems. I don't know when you're listening to this. I don't know what time it is that you're listening to this. I don't know what time it is that you're listening to this. I don't know. But what I do know is there's a fly in this house, least one, maybe multiples, and these flies are driving this dog bat shit. Ross, I'm not trying to, I know you're not in here,

but I'm not trying to compare you to your dearly departed brother that you never met okay but Luther did not give a shit about flies or bugs or any of this shit Ross like like they're really a true odd couple like they would have been fascinating to see them together because on one hand you had like this kind of laid-back chill like he'd get kind of rowdy sometimes always seemed to be sitting around judging people kind of off in his own little world didn't give a shit about what was going on in your world just his own little guy and would just sit there and he'd see other dogs and he would judge these other dogs he

didn't like other dogs and he didn't do the kind of dumb dog shit that like the stereotypical dumb dog shit and by that I mean like when you think of the stereotypical dog shit you think of stuff like oh just big goofy dog, you know, like I'm just a big stupid dumb ass and I do dumb, I chase my own tail. I'm a dumb fucking dog. Like the kind of shit that like you see in movies and you see how dogs are portrayed and you're like yeah big dumb dip shits, they're dogs, right? Well, that wasn't Luther.

I swear Luther was a serial killer that was trapped in the body of a dog. It was like a shaggy dog situation. It'd be like Chucky, like dog Chucky. Like a serial killer's body was somehow like transported into Luther's body. And for like 12 years of my life, I hung around a dog that was really a fucking

dude that murdered an entire family and no one ever caught him and now he's in the body of a dog like that was Luther. Whereas Ross does a lot of the kind of shit that are the stereotypical things that dogs in movies do right so he's kind of like the kind of big kind of goofy guy he's not stupid like you know how you can look at some dogs and go he just kind of carries on that kind of that that that perception that he's stupid he's just a lunatic and he does a lot more dog stuff than Luther did Luther would probably sit there and judge him and just kind of sneer at what he was doing if they both in the house whereas this guy like he would chase his own tail. He does chase every critter possible. He's

trying to chase flies. I'm like you're not gonna you might catch the fly. I'll tell you who you're not going to catch a bird. But this dog will chase birds. There'll be a bird sitting outside and I'm like listen I appreciate your desire to better yourself and I appreciate your desire to dream big. But Ross, that fucking bird can fly. You cannot. He literally has the greatest advantage that any animal has. I was thinking about this while I was walking with Ross today when he tried to chase a bird. Would you rather be like a lion or a tiger, like a fucking giraffe? If you were trying to be something, what would you want to be? Of course, you want to be a fucking bird. Like would you rather be like a lion or a tiger, like a fucking giraffe? Like if you were trying to be something what would you want to be? Of course you

want to be a fucking bird! A bird can do anything, can go anywhere, can get away from anyone. You know who can't catch a bird? A tiger or a lion. Why? Because they can't fucking fly. It's truly the easiest thing ever. Like be like a fucking hawk. Like a hawk's got it made, man. A hawk could pick up a damn Yorkie and carry him. I was hearing stories about that. People in Tennessee, that was one of the things they'd tell you, be careful because there are some hawks and they'll come pick up your dog and shit. They're like, okay, whatever. And then I talked to

a friend, they're like, yeah, that happened to my dog. I have a little Yorkie and it got picked up by a goddamn hawk. I'm like, what is this world? But why wouldn't you wanna be a hawk? A hawk, like the hawk is like the dude or an eagle, like one of them, they're both dudes. So why not? Like you'd be like, I could be the tiger

and I could rule the jungle. Like, yeah, but then there's other animals that are larger than you. Like an elephant is still larger than you. Like you might kill the elephant, but maybe he'll just step on your dumb ass. I don't know how the fucking animal kingdom works. I don't watch Nat Geo. I don't know all this shit, but if you could fly you have the truly the greatest advantage. Squirrels have a great advantage. They can climb trees. They basically fly. That's the

other thing that Ross tries to catch is a damn squirrel. You know what's gonna happen when you try to catch a squirrel? He's gonna get away because he can basically fly and you can't. I do applaud his efforts though. Like he'll run to the tree and then like try to jump up the tree as if he's gonna catch the fucker. Anyway, let me play some commercials.

The good news is Ross appears to have calmed down. I have no idea where he is now. If he'll sleep, he'll sleep like he's a fucking log. If he sleeps like I'm talking about like he's a baby.

How ridiculous is this? It's 1145. It's my first episode of the podcast I've done today because I had to walk Ross and then you know we come home and Julie's like well well actually let me tell you about this. So apparently the hottest beer in the world just like this beer that the whole world wants and it doesn't come out every year. It's a special occasion type of deal is Bush light apple.

Now generally speaking, I do not like beers that are flavored like apple because usually they're extremely sweet and I just have no interest. Well, according to the internets and the reddits and all the people who've had bush apple before, bush light apple, this is allegedly the greatest beer like people fiend for this shit. People hoard it away like when it comes out, they'll get like 10 cases of it and just hide it away in like a cellar somewhere. So I went out today like it came out today in St.

Louis for whatever reason other places around the country have gotten it but here in the home of Bush, we didn't get it until today. I was calling around places. I'm like, I'm curious about this because I love Bush Light. So I imagine Bush Light Apple is probably at least, you know, drinkable. So I get on the horn. I call around a couple days ago and they're like, yes, well Bush Light Apple will hit the stores. Like I called the liquor store, the Total Wine. I

called Total Wine and I'm like, so what's the deal? Like, do you guys have Bush Light Apple? And they're like, yep, it's gonna be here May 5. So I look up what time it opens, nine o'clock. I'm like, fuck yes, we're gonna go there. Went over there about 1030. Giant fucking like, like set up of like 30 packs, 12 packs. Now mind you, I've never had this beer before. But I like Bush Light. I'm not opposed. Like it's not something that I'm opposed to when it comes to beers that are

flavored like fruit or whatever. None of that shit really bothers me. Like I'll drink it and whatever. It just depends on if it's way too sweet and you can only have so many. I will say this. I tried Bushlight Peach maybe two years ago, I think it was, year and a half. Bushlight Peach was gross. It just wasn't. I don't like peach flavored shit. But I will tell you this. We did try the new Miss Peach's vodka drinks from high noon, the Dave Portnoy ones, the Miss

Peach's ones, the lemonades. They were really fucking good. They had, I think, lemon, just the basic lemonade was a flavor, peach lemonade, raspberry and blueberry. Blueberry didn't like as much. The raspberry one was fantastic. But anyway, those were good. We had some of those this weekend. So I went into the Total Wine. I saw the big setup. I'm like, listen, I'm going to take a chance here because I don't know if any of these are any good. They may be awful. But I said, fuck it. I'm

not going to be left out in the lurch if they are in fact the greatest beer ever. So I picked up two 30 racks, took them up to the counter, realized now that normally when you buy Bush lights, you can usually on a good day get them for you know, 30 pack for like $21.99, maybe on a day that they're on sale like $20.99, you know, which is pretty solid on sale like $20.99, which is pretty solid deal. It makes you wonder why anyone ever actually leaves the house to drink alcohol.

Because if you really think about it, like you're trying to get drunk, that's the ambition here. So why do you need to go to a bar to do that? Oh, you want to watch the ball game and get drunk? Well, you can do that at home. Well, what else is there to do? Like what other reason is there to go out and go to a bar and hang out? You want to try to pick up a chick?

Yeah, good luck. She'll accuse you of sexual harassment. There's no reason to do? What other reason is there to go out and go to a bar and hang out? You wanna try to pick up a chick? Yeah, good luck, she'll accuse you of sexual harassment. There's no reason to do shit. Just sit home. This is my advice to young gentlemen out there that might be listening to the program that may not have a lady, and they feel like it makes them cooler

to go out and try to find a lady to fornicate with at a bar and go to the bar scene and hit the clubs. Let me tell you something, friend. 30 rack, bush lights, $21.99 so you got 30 beers that's less than a dollar a beer. What is the actual, let's say you get it for $21.99. So we're going to go $21.99 for 30 so $21.99 divided by 30 that's 73 cents a beer. 12 ounces of beer is 73 cents for you. 73 cents won't buy you a rubber in the machine at the gas station to try to put on when you're trying to hook up with some bus station skank you met.

73 cents for a beer. That's pretty awesome. You're not going to drink 30 of them more than likely in a given night. So you sit there, you drink yourself some beers, you watch the ball game that's on, and then you say, well, this would be the time of the night that I'd be with a young lady. Fuck that. Put on the hub. Do what you got to do.

And then go back to drinking your fucking beer or eat a sandwich and go to sleep. That would be my advice to you kids. Just if I could offer any sort of insight and any sort of advice to the youth of this country, I would buy a 30 rack of Busch lattes. And if you want to go cheaper, like Keystone Light is cheaper, I don't know that I've ever had Keystone Light, at least not enough to remember, but they all kind of taste the same. But like a Milwaukee's Best, a Keystone Light, whatever it is, you know, get yourself a 30 rack of whatever cheap beer is your choice. Coors Light is not bad

either, the price is about the same smooth bush beer easy drinking bush light head for the mountains whatever bush heavy whatever you want to do get yourself a good domestic beer like there's a song that I've got on my playlist for the country playlist from when we're drinking I think it's Dierks Bentley and the song is I think called domestic light and cold he's like just give me something domestic light and cold. I said, amen brother.

That's the kind of drink and I do. So then like, that's what I would urge you to do. Get something domestic light and cold. Sit your, don't even fuck around with the IPAs and shit. Like I'm fine with those. Like those are the ones that I think you do have to experience going to the brewery because that's kind of part of it.

Because all these breweries usually have like all their beers up on like a giant chalkboard and they've got them written up there for you and shit. They show you the ABV. That's kind of the experience. That's a fun time kind of a laid back chill thing to go to a craft brewery and I don't want to root against craft breweries because craft breweries are great. But I if it's just if it comes down to hey, do you want to go to the sports bar and watch the game? Or do you want to sit at home? I'd say, look, 30 rack at the house. So that's 22 bucks. Boom. Put some burgers on the grill. Put something on the old Traeger and let's go. That same 12, let's say like, okay, let's do the math and you, because they also sell pints. Say you want to get a pint.

So say you buy the 18 or 12 pints or 16 pints or whatever they sell of Bushlight. You do that. That one pint of beer is going to be like a dollar or something like that. Whereas that same pint of fucking Bushlight at a bar is going to cost you five or six bucks. I'm not telling you anything you don't know. This is just obvious shit. And there's no reason for you to go out and live that life. Now that I've explained all that, back to the Bushlight apples. So I bought two 30 racks of Bushlight apples. Now I have not tried them yet and I plan on trying one tonight. I will report back to you on this, but I wanted to make sure I had these Bushlights just in case they all sold out and like the whole world says it's the best beer ever and some apple beers are good. Like I'm not a huge apple flavor guy. Like I don't like apple juice for instance, but back when I was endorsing Miller Lite, they would bring me Red's Apple Ale a lot like

some angry orchard type shit and Red's Apple Ale. I used to hammer the shit out of Red's Apple Ale and I imagine that's a lot sweeter than what this is going to be. So we're going to find out. But all that said, how did I get there? Again, I know I say this all the time. One day that will be the name of the podcast. How the fuck did I get here? Because my story starts in one place, then I'm all the way over here now and it's fucking wild and I get that it's fucking wild. But I do this to tell you this. I urge you all to go get a Bushlight Apple. Even if it's a 12 pack, even if you can find a tall boy of it,

the gas station, I want to know what the listeners of the Josh Ennis Show podcast here think of Bushlight Apple because I'm going to try it tonight and I'll report back to you guys on that tomorrow. But I got 230 racks and I'm ready to go. I'm not going gonna drink 30 tonight. Last night we had a nice drinking night, watched the shitty Rockets game that we'll get into in a little bit.

Watched the last episode of The Righteous Gemstones, which I didn't think was very good. Did watch, it was fine, but like just not to spoil anything, but I hate when a TV show that spends four years of the characters just being assholes and that's kind of what makes it funny. Then they try to tie it into like a neat sweet bow at the end of it. I'm like gag me with a fucking spoon bro. I have no interest in

that. It was fine but and I just don't like the way they wrapped it up. But the episode itself wasn't terrible but it was just kind of like that happens with those shows. You know they don't get as good like they lose steam and they're just not as interesting the rest of the way. And that happened that happened on all the Danny McBride shows. The last season of Kenny Powers wasn't great. I guess there was only two seasons of the Vice Principals and those were fine. And this season of this just wasn't all that great. It's fine, but what are you going to do? I did watch the latest episode of The Studio, which is the Seth Rogan show on Apple TV,

and I thought it was really fucking funny. And it's such a true to life thing that these people deal with, and just everyone deals with, and I thought it was funny. So if you watch that show and you haven't seen that episode, you'll enjoy it. It was a hoot. Anyway, Bushlight Apple. Go get some, drink it, let's talk about it. I'll try it tonight and report back to you guys tomorrow.
