25: TOBY - IPHONES ARE OUT, LIVING IS IN

**Josh Harmon** (0:02)
Hello, everybody, and welcome back to What's The Sip podcast by friends for friends. We've got a great episode ahead for you today. One that I'm really, really excited about. But before we get into who we have here with us, I will shout out Izzy Kelly as sipper of the week. She has been sipping on a strawberry banana smoothie from her favorite cafe. Don't know what the cafe is, but I enjoy a good strawberry smoothie, or a strawberry banana smoothie. So shout out Izzy. Thank you for being sipper of the week and sending in your sip.
And without further ado, everybody say hello to Mr. Toby Custer, also known as TCB.

**Toby Custer** (0:45)
Oh, you even put that on there.

**Josh Harmon** (0:47)
Do you want to tell everyone what TCB means?

**Toby Custer** (0:49)
Not overly, but it is Toby Custer baller.

**Josh Harmon** (0:53)
Is it because you're a baller?

**Toby Custer** (0:55)
Yeah, in all aspects.

**Josh Harmon** (0:57)
Uh-huh.

**Toby Custer** (0:57)
But yeah, I appreciate it. Now I really feel like home, Josh. Thank you.

**Josh Harmon** (1:01)
Perfect. Toby, thanks for being here. I'm excited for, I mean, we have an array of topics to cover, but as you know, why don't you kick us off with what we've got here?

**Toby Custer** (1:13)
I feel badly about bringing a beer. However, it is a Tangerine Space Machine. It is probably my all-time favorite beer from New Holland. And the reason why I brought this is because I've really pared down what I drink lately. So I do water, spin drift, a new stole mine, and then coffee. And it's like 8, 17 p.m. So we're not doing that.
Not coffee hours, but I really do enjoy winding down after a crazy day with the kids and just having a nice brew. So I appreciate it, Josh. Cheers, let's dive in.

**Josh Harmon** (1:52)
OK, this one I like.

**Toby Custer** (1:53)
You do?

**Josh Harmon** (1:55)
Yeah, I mean, I don't like I'm not the biggest beer person in just in general, but this one it's it's pretty light, I think. And it's not I guess I don't know what IPA stands for, but it's not like hoppy. I don't really like something that's too hoppy.

**Toby Custer** (2:11)
Right. It's got the fruity in there.

**Josh Harmon** (2:14)
Yeah, it's citrusy. OK, so that's what I do like. I do like a sour.

**Toby Custer** (2:17)
OK.

**Josh Harmon** (2:17)
Yeah, I don't I'm like that kind of feels like a cheat code to like beer a little bit.

**Toby Custer** (2:21)
Yeah. But you're not a black coffee.

**Josh Harmon** (2:23)
No, I am. Oh, you are.

**Toby Custer** (2:25)
I feel like if you're a black, I don't know.
It's so bitter and so is beer. I feel like I love black coffee. So I don't know if it pairs well or something, but I enjoy it.

**Josh Harmon** (2:35)
Like, it's kind of like the same vibe of it. Like, yeah, bitterness. And yeah, do you feel like this like beer was an acquired taste for you?

**Toby Custer** (2:42)
Definitely. Well, I I was averse to alcohol.

**Josh Harmon** (2:46)
That's what I was going to say. Yeah. You used to it was like a no go for you. Yeah.

**Toby Custer** (2:50)
And so we moved in and I got with the bad crowd.

**Josh Harmon** (2:53)
You know, OK, OK. Was it was it Bud Light Live that really did it for you?

**Toby Custer** (2:58)
You know, well, that was like the bit.
But you know, the first drink I ever had, this is true, alcohol. Well, I'll backtrack in a second. But 11 Oh, eight for Brock's birthday party. Twenty first. That was the first drink I'd ever have. And you have to think I'm much older in my life. So I was almost 23, right?
Yeah.

**Josh Harmon** (3:26)
Are you 98?

**Toby Custer** (3:28)
97, end of 97 December. So I think I was almost 23
And so that was a like an angry orchards or something.

**Josh Harmon** (3:38)
Oh, yeah.

**Toby Custer** (3:38)
That's not for me. But I will say that beer has kind of been an acquired taste, but I love it now.

**Josh Harmon** (3:46)
Do you?

**Toby Custer** (3:47)
Yeah, I don't have a lot. Maybe once every other week.

**Josh Harmon** (3:49)
And you also don't mind like whiskey and?

**Toby Custer** (3:53)
Well, I die that max thing. My taste buds were toast.

**Josh Harmon** (3:57)
Totally.

**Toby Custer** (3:58)
Oh, God. I was so, so bad.
But yeah, I dabble.

**Josh Harmon** (4:04)
Okay. Yeah.
