"They lift you up...you hold on to the barrel and you lift yourself up," Bush Hager explained. "But then they lift you and then you're drinking the beer."

"We're going to do it at our summer party," Bush Hager declared. "But I don't know where to get a keg anymore."
"I don't like beer, but I'll do it for the experience," Jones said. "I'm so excited."
