0:00.0 | You know, we weren't drinking whiskey this whole episode. |
0:02.4 | I know. |
0:02.7 | Dude, as soon as we started, I was just like, should we stop and get this? |
0:06.0 | And I was like, yeah, we're on a roll. |
0:07.5 | Actually, we sounded much more cohesive, so maybe we don't drink anymore. |
0:11.2 | Hey, everybody. It is episode 233. It is our final show of 2019. And usually during this time of the year, things are winding down, I guess, except if you work in retail, then it's a bunch of last minute shoppers. But we still have some news to cover, so let's get into it. |
0:36.9 | Last week, I opened the show talking about the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act being in jeopardy, |
