Back To School

Thank you for listening The Tipsy talking. We are new to podcasting. So we hope our quality is up to par because you want your support that visiting your website and social media. Were all about good times and fun Vibes to grab a drink in comfortable in TuneIn. What is your favorite grade of school school high school? Absolutely, I had swim team theater rehearsals. Now, whats your favorite grade? You remember 4th grade? I actually do remember 4th grade elementary school. I remember we had a huge carnival at the end of the year and I went down the bouncy castle slide and I broke my thumb on the bouncy castle the safest activity for a child. So when I went down the slide, I was a little fat when I was a child. So like, you know physics if you have a really heavy ball and you roll it down a hill its going to go fast. Its a lot of momentum there in that moment because I just went right past the edge of slide hit the pavement so Im broken. That sucks. Yeah, but it was good because then I got special treatment from all the kids in class cuz When your fourth grade, youre like, oh my god. Did you die? Yeah, I did. I broke a kids arm in fourth grade. It was an accident, but I broke his arm. I tripped him. Youre a bully he deserved it Adam, but hes okay now hes doing fine. Yeah, you come over his traumatic experience. I highly doubt thats possible. My name is Christian. Thank you for listening to Tipsy talk in back to school special. So grab your textbooks in your ankles because someone is going back to school this week. I hated that so much. That was so commercial, but yes, I am going back to my university this week who is February, but we had a delayed start due to a worldly circumstances. I havent been in an actual School in the couple years like an actual structure College University never been to college, but you did have schooling College this year. But if you add thats impressive that its not consecutively thats everybody and if youre listening know that and if your college level and you didnt know that surprise College isnt for everybody. But I told people know that I mean youre doing really well in college Bragg. No, Im not Im doing Im doing okay. Im doing everything. Im not telling people my GTA V GTA when I graduated high school with a 1.6. I did my damn best and my senior year of high school right thought all 12 years of American public school. Ive never gotten on Deans List. Ive never forgotten honor roll or anything. Ive never gotten a great about the 75 as a bad student, but my senior year I actually decided to give a shit some reason and I got on the honor roll the last marking period of my last year and I cried know the thing is like I can sit in a classroom and do all the work which I do because I feel obligated to but anyways, but I hate that environment so much. So when when things dont go my ways because I just I just dont let them I see I just dont like the school environment. I really dont I kind of got that wear. But I like learning things on my own if I find something that interests me. I can go on like a Google Deep dive and like have enough information to get a bachelors degree in that subject. O really a whole bachelors off of Google when I was 11 years old. I wrote 150 page paper on demonology specifically for the reason that I love demons. Im pretty sure you got all that information from Supernatural Thats okay. No, I actually didnt I looked it up all by myself. Oh, oh you Scallywags. I feel like school for me. Like I know I definitely could have done better. I have a really bad Authority issues. Thats the thing like I wanted to do good and I wanted to learn these things and I like learning and I like reading and I like writing but I dont like being told what to do and when its in a structured setting where its like I have to do this this in this by this time. Otherwise, I fail I start to panic. Yeah, I get that but if there are no deadlines and theres no like I have to do this a specific way then I have fun and then I actually get things done. What are you do you like strict structure or would you rather have it? Like, okay. Would you rather your professor say you need to do this paper? It needs to be this x amount of pages. Anna needs to be on a subject or would you rather your professor say, lets do a final paper. It can be about anything you want. However long you want teachers would do that for marine ecology. Thats how my final project was. I got to choose the topic and how its to be done. So I chose I chose Mangrove forests as my topic and I made like I made a documentary style video remember that I was pretty good and I did really good. Thank you. I dont need your praise. My favorite project that I ever did in high school since I was an art kid like we had a lot of projects. I think its my junior year and every year we had this little Art Festival. It had a scene and my junior year, it was life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and me and my friend Mike we decided to take like a huge American flag. We took a photo of it just laying flat on the concrete and then we put into Photoshop and we switch the colors around and we made like a quarter lick alternate America and we dislike things that would be different and how like people always say like, oh, I wish we would like another reality or something like things have to be better than this and we listed like the pros of like this alternate reality and then the cons and we ended up finding out that there were more cons and they were pros and my teachers like you guys werent supposed to do this. You guys went off on your own tangent like this is great. And that was probably one of my first instances round like you know what I like school and Im going to try and do better but I did it way too late. I wish that I could go back. I wish more teachers understood that not everyone. I wish you understood that two different world. You know, I feel like a lot of the basis of Education was strict etiquette and not even like wanting to get a knowledge people just making people conform exactly like I feel like, Growing up in public school. There was only really one curriculum that everybody learned you either got it or you didnt got it you either got it or you didnt get it get it you got left behind and it sucks to say that cuz its like theres this girl that I knew and she got held back in I think either 6th grade or 7th grade and it really made me upset because she was wanting to like a really smart girl that I knew but she couldnt grasp the concept of like math so they held her back because of that and I just think thats so stupid because you can obviously see that someone struggling give them a little extra help. Its not going to hurt them. Its going to benefit them understood the back but still one class. Thats what summer school supposed to be for isnt it? Exactly? Summer school the whole home of their ballgame. Have you ever been to summer school or your parents would kill you if I went to summer school every single year of high school senior year. Really? Yeah. How did you manage such an incredible feat? Im going to tell you why summer school for me. It was so fun. I went to summer school for math, obviously cuz Im dyslexic. I did not like math stilted estate dont like math and then my second class gym. Gym summer school gym was a real thing and you got summer school gym, if you didnt participate in the gym classes and regular classes, but the thing is I did participate in the in the classes but not in the way that my teachers wanted me to do. You went to an all-boys school. So you really did it experiences cuz you did not see a single girl your entire academic career, but the girls and the boys were separated in gym class except when we went outside and when we went outside the boys were allowed to do like fuck off like they could play football basketball like they could run the track they can just sit on the grass and just be boys, but the girls were only allowed to walk the track and if they did anything else theyd failed the class for the day. We are humiliated humiliated condescending sexist cuz its like they want us so public high school. They really focus on having all of the kids like in shape and active and eating healthy, but I understand like walking is good. Its cardio, but I dont want to walk in a circle for 45 minutes. Thats boring. I want to I want to get my heart racing when I get my blood pumping to let you play volleyball or something. So we did have these little segments in class where we we played sports like they taught us volleyball and hockey and basketball, but we played them for like a week and then that was it and every time we went outside again, wed only be able to walk the track and what sucks the most about like Class again is that if it was raining outside and we were stuck inside the girls gym and the boys gym were next to each other so you can hear whats going on in each room. The boys were allowed to play basketball and run around the gym and be wild animals and the girls just had to sit down like if it was raining like outside we and we couldnt go outside. We just have to sit in the gym and it sucked that sounds so sad. Nobody likes the ring you like the rain, but you want to know what I like more sandy beaches a bright sunny day. It kind of reminds me of this first beer that were going to have youre really taking over. This is all you Im just Im just providing little comments here. Do you want to tell them when I first year is that I can do I dont like talking about school, but I do like talking about beer so our first beer is Well done for some meat. Let me explain to the real quick. So all the beers are going to be trying to there different kinds of ales as I figured, you know college is great. But part of that is the is the alcohol, so theres always going to Coors Light Bud Light all these animals. Are you mention that name? But all these Dale so all the different beers are showing today in in in the spirit of school the different kinds of ales. So the first one we have is called Kona light blond ale and its available year-round. Kuna light is a smooth easy drinking light beer with just 99 calories and crisp tropical flavor that captures the golden moment of Island life in every sip for any Beach backyard or wherever you decide to wind down in this case in front of a computer and it has its 4.2% alcohol. 99 calories, not bad. I think it is. I think its not I got this. Definitely use a bottle opener, not your Chompers and not my physical self. That looks looks about like your Bud Light completely see-through. Not much head on it. Looks like pee according to Maddie very RNG. I didnt even say very citrusy very citrusy. Has that same citrusy like tingly nose feeling that an IPA would have the second time you compared something that youre probably going to be wrong. Youre wrong. Im just saying that it smells like how an IPA would smell if its heavily sitarist to my nose. This was different but then again or two different backgrounds Like two different profiles is it cuz youre Hispanic not what I meant. I meant like tasting. Dont say anything. Yeah, okay. Im going to tell you in a second take a sip swish it around your mouth and then swallow it on your tongue. I suppose so. You can really taste the citrus fruit and its delightful tropical is a way I would describe it. I think they got that pretty down. I really like the incredibly smooth the party. Theres little-to-no acidity like carbonation So It Goes Down super smooth. I can chug one of these in like 5 seconds flat again. Im going to have to disagree. I think it has a pretty good amount of carbonation. And I think thats what makes it pretty good you think so, I dont know man. I feel like one of the physio things weve had so far. What site where you got for me this time? Im not telling you that you dont have to tell me just in case I know who they are that you yes, I do like actual Crush. I do remember my first real like third grade second grade. Yeah, I remember my first crush very vividly. What were like the like the fringy things that you would do like looking back at it now, I cant tell you things about my crush, but I can tell you lots of cringy things. I did in school. Heres an example. I had a huge crush on this kid in 7th grade and it was during the Scholastics books back. Right and we were going down to the basement to go to the book fair. And I told my teacher that I had forgotten my money in my backpack. So when I went back up to the classroom prior to this, I had written him an anonymous note and I slipped it in his in his notebook and I was like, Im genius. Hes never going to figure out that this was me. I was the only person in class at still wrote with a pencil. So of course he knew it was me and he came up to me. He was you write me this note and Im like no, I would never write you a note or a boy. Get away from me. Oh my God, hes talking to me. He probably thinks Im so cute. He hated me and like no I dont I never I was too shy I never did anything like that. But I did a lot of other cringey things do in school is this is really the route were going today. We have to do cringe. How about this? I got one. I dont want to disappoint you. So this is like 6th grade. A bunch of new students came into our school cuz another school closed down so they were all transferred to our school and I will try to make friends with them and stuff cuz our class suddenly doubled we were very small Catholic School very common thing for Catholic schools. They just closed so we had to make friends really quick. So I thought I was like good friends with a bunch of these new kids this one girl in particular. I didnt have a crush on her, but I thought we were good friends which you know, nothing will happen. This is the one day the teachers getting rid of the old computers and keyboards and stuff and needed volunteers. So I was like I volunteered cuz thats just the kid. I was the carry this. Is heavy computer and look really cool and throw it in the dumpster downstairs, but before doing that my friend said To me cuz we were joking around and I was like him and hes supposed to be really heavy. Shes like all poor baby and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Right and Im just like Im like, okay. So I take the computer I go throw it out and Im like walking back up like a champ and Im like, hey girl redacted a redacted that kiss you gave me really helped me. Carry. These computers really gave me the strength. She looked at me. She was like, what are you talking about until this day that one sentence that one interaction hunts my memories. Thats tragic. Like what are you talkin about? Okay, let me ask you a question. Was she with her friends when you announced they were all old times? Did she kiss your cheek in front of everybody? Just as there wasnt much of anything, but shes weird. These kids were just our school was very like we were all pretty closed and all the kids that came in. They were just very close with each other. So thats just how they work. But I just I was just I was just like a kiss from a girl. Hey that kiss you gave me really pumped me up, bro. Terrifying to look back on these memories. Thank you very much. Ill just be sitting by myself. And I I remember specific things that happened in high school and I just think to myself how am I alive? Thats how I feel about college. There were a couple instances in high school that happened where Im like I should have died or someone else should have died the civically. Okay. So I was part of Anime Club our friends who is behind us. Theres a third party in this room right now. You want to say hello. Okay call ninja ninja. Yeah. Anyway, we were we were playing Red Rover. Thats what we were playing and this kid runs full force head into metal locker and that dent is still in the locker because you know poor inner-city high school. They dont have the money to fix everything. I have a lot of memories. I dont I was at the high school now, let me see. Let me see what let me see what I can pull out. Let me think of something from high school real quick with a lot of people that I know and work with so they all know you and it like oh I can tell you I can tell you something that happened on stage. So I did theater in high school and Senior year. I was Shrek the Musical thats not true. Its true. Its true. I miss being Shrek in Shrek the Musical. I wish I knew you back then opening night. And this has to do with what Im about to say I get on stage for the big the big opening unfortunately wasnt all star. Thats it is its a sad sad thing. But anyways, I come out onto the stage. Im supposed to kick a bucket over. I didnt have anyone my foot went into the bucket and just like in a cartoon you like when a characteristics are bucket at 6 or so sick day like stick my foot in a bucket and they get stuck. Thats what happened in this bucket was on my foot front of hole opening number cuz I couldnt it would not come off as so on brand for you. The bad luck just so on brand bad luck that I have to deal with in the moment. I was singing on stage Shrek. bucket and boot with what foot in bucket Do you know what you know it, you know, its great. You know, whats great about all this education nonsense in middle school and high school. Remember them for the good thing about college is that these things happen, but you dont remember them thanks to Dear. Lets go to our second one. So here we have American brown ale by Brooklyn brand Brewing that took like five tries for me to get ready for ever R. Brownell is an OG harnessing roasted malts and American hops for a hearty bass heavy beer. Thats still pleasantly refreshing. It is 5.6% ABV. And yeah, I dont think in like a random cops that got handed to me at a party most likely most likely but Ive never liked seeing me drink. My nails are very popular styles. So this is smooth caramel and fruity coffee flavors. We love our coffee flavored stuff. Oh my goodness, Manhattan Special 2.0. I can smell the fruit smell from a cup. I want to stick my nose in there. Is it red? Its Amber. So this one looks like Coca-Cola as the same syrupy brown color is Coca-Cola and the head looks a lot like a soda for two. Its very sick and cold brew coffee. Floralie. Okay, I can understand that. Thats good. Cant go wrong with a old man. Thats great. Its so smooth. It is pleasantly refreshing. Yeah, and its refreshing new coffee flavors. You dont think refreshing thats good seat the thing with me and coffee flavored beers is that I always feel like theyre heavy. This is very light. not as much carbonation as the last one and you can taste a caramel taste like kind of seems like a candy bar been buried old out. Yes. So when you first take a sip you get the caramel and you got the sweetness from like the fruity aspects. The coffee flavor is more of an afterthought. You tasted more on the back of your tongue after youve already swallowed the drink. Ill definitely one of the beers that we had in Port Jefferson, which one I dont remember. It was a very very hot day. What was the what was like described it? I know you wont remember that. I dont remember the names out there. But I remember the dark one that you got the Nitro brewed one, but it was a weird type of beer. So, you know with school weve been talking about like a lot of our experiences, okay? But what school comes a lot of stress and being in my last year college, its been its been a long road full of ups and downs chemistry class organic chemistry class all things that have made me want to just run away and Im sure everyone has those things, you know, and I just want to let everyone know that youre not alone. Okay, there are people out there who smile their way through school. Theyre just as stressed out if not more. You know what? They say though diamonds get made Under Pressure exactly and its not your fault that the school system is so hard in high school. I was very stressed out but I had the swim team to get my stress out and I had yoga as my gym class my senior year and I think that the reason why I ended up dropping out of college is because that stress doubled the outlet of the swim team got taken away because I graduated and I was no longer on the swim team and I think thats the reason I didnt have an outlet a healthy outlet that is make sure your stress Outlets are healthy. Benefit you was I mean healthy describe dont self-sabotage yourself when youre stressed out dont isolate yourself. I know it may feel better in like the beginning. Youre just going to get lonelier and lonelier and your brain is going to force itself to believe that you are alone and like believe that nobody cares about you. Thats just not true. Theres always going to be people around you who understand what youre going through and are able to give a helping hand. No ones ever truly alone. And if you ever find yourself needing help dont be afraid to go reach out cuz again, you dont see it. Cuz the other peoples personal lives, you know play other people are doing the same thing. Theyre going out again. I hope they need And you just hit you owe it to yourself at a certain point, you know. people always walk around like youve done this a couple times and Ive definitely also done this but people like to just say like, oh nobody looks like theyre ever going through something or everyone would do that all the time you do and its this heart and you always say that like people are putting up like these fronts where they look happy and sometimes theyre not have to realize that people look happy on the outside and you may come across as happy to other people, but you know that youre not When do you know thats okay, as long as you take care of yourself? You got to remember to do that always. Whats that supposed to be going on for a little bit? So were going to move on to our third beer. Now. This one is called. I dont know how to pronounce this word. So its actually went what is Dutch or low German for white. So wet and it is brewed. Its a wheat ale that is brood of orange peel and coriander nice spice this traditional belgian-style white ale refreshes the body and illuminates the spirit of coriander and sweet orange peel with pores hazy smooth and flavorful with Aroma Citrus and clove crisp and refreshing on its own. It shines brightly alongside lighter fare, like salads and appetizers and serves as a perfect complement to barbecue and spicy dishes. Which is great because we just had Burgers enjoy a taste of the sun Skittles Taste the rainbow with taste the Sun. Ill see myself out and its 5.2% alcohol per volume. So thats how I look at it open a lemonade color. Yes, it is, go in the service. 6 semi-translucent Have a nice head there. Let me give it a good sniff, sir. Obviously it smells like beer. Sounds like the floor of Alpha Gamma Pi baby. Oh my God. No, you can definitely smell the orange peel. I wish you guys could see this its gross. Cancel that licorice to me like a nice kind of I think its the clothes in the Quarry in there because theyre in the same family spice. Okay, Im not sure if I logically in there in the same. No, but they have like the same notes of sentence. Sorry. I went I went full science there. Dont like you dont like it. Thats different. Thats our its a lot of bread. At 11. Its like rye bread. It is yeast. I said about me. Oh my God. Thats on tape. We have to at least talk about it. Okay. So when when I hear Belgian white I go back to my roots of Blue Moon know you can get those flavors in there. Is definitely in that room if you think its Blue Moon Yeah, it taste like theres a lot of spice it tastes like bread and spices. Yeah, I completely understand it where Im kind of growing to the post came for some more the spice is exactly what it is. Its here now. Bear with me here. If you dropped a piece of bread on Michaels craft store floor and then you ate that piece of bread. Why does it always come back to a floor last week? We had the floor of 7-Eleven. And now this time we have we have Michaels I did dramatically throw myself on the floor earlier today you did you like your you like the floor floor person? Okay, but you know in a way I understand what youre saying. It kind of tastes like a craft store. I understand what youre saying. I just find it funny that always comes back to the floor of the store because I love Michaels craft store Michaels craft store Michaels craft store, trying to mask my burp and have a repeat what she said, and she was just she was not understanding it stupid. Not that funny pretty funny laugh at My Pain. Alright, so now that we have all of our beers done. I think we should I think we talked about enough about school for today. Lets lets give them a good ranking school was can a gold star up on the board. So its lets do it out of gold stars. Yeah, no degree. What is a very its a very specific taste it definitely not a casually like no, its not spicy like pepper spicy, but no maybe it was colder and it was a summer day. Maybe Im going to give it like a 7 out of 10 gold stars. Yeah. Yeah. Its not bad lately. You look nicer because I was not that its not bad. Its just not my kind of night. So its also can be my least favorite, but Im actually Im going to give me a seven and a half gold stars by Middle Ground. The Brooklyn brown ale really yeah, I enjoyed it a lot actually and I like it a lot more than all the other coffee flavored beers that weve had and weve had quite a lot coffee seems to be a very popular flavor when it comes to beers doesnt it, which is great picky with a lot of coffee and a lot of ipas. Not much in between remember it was very hard to find these nails. You dont unlike the other coffee beers that we had. Its not coffee in all caps. Its not like in your face like walked into Starbucks in order to Coffee Bean. Its in the back your throat. Its a nice flavor. And for that I think Im going to give it like a nine out of ten gold stars for the Brooklyn brand Brownell. Yes. I am I am between is going to be the Kona is a Kona very great extremely smooth and drinkable. Im going to give you. and 8.5 gold stars For me the Kona light is your favorite. I think I could classify this one as my favorite because its very easy to drink. It has a very delightful taste to it and it goes down easy. So its just its delicious and its exactly the kind of beer that you would drink on a beach and its very very close in ranking to the Brooklyn brown ale except for the fact that Im going to take 9 Hole stars and then one star point so it like a 9.1 cuz theyre so close, but its just the light crisp refreshing this of the Kona that just gassed me. My favorite going to be The Brownell a 10 out of 10 gold stars actually first 10 out of 10. It might possibly very well be at air horns. I can do that. I will do that. Well, yeah, why is it your favorite taste good? No, it was my favorite because it was smooth. Like you said the coffee flavor wasnt super loud and I just like interesting flavors and it was really it was really interesting for something so late and its just crazy that I could see me some drinking at a party but still having it taste good and I usually like a party. Youre like Coors Light Bud Light dont taste good. Daddy. Daddy. Daddy. Daddy. Daddys naturdays are disgusting fuel the party Four Lokos.
