Go to 12.53 and play it at 0.5 speed. It’s comedy dynamite! It’s either: 1 - the end of the night slurrings at the adult special needs annual Christmas piss up 2 - this is what you actually sound like but you speed it up considerably to protect your family’s reputation Actually the whole beer review is fantastic at half speed.

What were you smoking in the early hours of Boxing Day morn? 😉

[@alanmorris8783]

@@BrewBrosUK Tell me I’m wrong though. That brewer dude in particular made a masterful, gobby drunk. Seeing Gandy realising his life as a beer maker has been all for nought, was particularly rewarding at half speed …. And it lasted twice as long too! Loved that fact that he gave his own beer 1/5.

Apologies once again Jen for misidentifying your good self as Ed’s wife rather than his daughter. I only hope and pray that your mother has hair that sticks to her head like welding, otherwise (with Ed’s genetics) I’d recommend using most of your appearance fees for this video to invest in a collection of wigs A.S.A.P. Interesting to see the somewhat disheveled and odd looking chap that I’d previously misidentified as Jen’s grandmother. He again proved his worth amongst the other giants of brewing by creating something that looked as much like stout as a dose of the squits. I can only assume that he has some hugely embarrassing info on the Brew Bros that would see this empire slip into the sea if he were not allowed to be in the videos.

[@BrewBrosUK]

Hey, Jen’s grandmother is our whipping boy (or woman) - you get your own! The number of disheveled and hirsute individuals who only get screen time to make Ed and I look better doubled in this episode!

[@alanmorris8783]

I thought they were twin sisters.
