177: Disastercast

Yes, this title is similar to an earlier episode... we sort of piecemealed this one together. This is a couple of live recordings stitched together with studio interstitials. Caveats abound we jump into Jeremy and a goosey Michael talking Phantasm while watching a wrestling match. We still manage to be moderately successful at some Mikes vs. Machine trivia and we even sneak in an FDR. After cutting away, we return to a brief recording at the Sanctuary in Iowa City, where we are wrapping up spinning yarns over some Oktoberfest beer. I guess it is another FDR. Why not?

176: The Big Bee Reunion

In a multi-location episode, we start off in Jeremy's recording studio, trying out his homebrew "Rye, Cheat, Steal". We spin for a while about brewing, as Michael wants to try to get into the game again. Next, we throw to ourselves at Reunion Brewery in Iowa City as we each sample a flight of their brews.

175: Return of the Book Club

Ah, most of this episode revolves around us discussing the book Barrel-Aged Stout and Selling Out by Josh Noel. We do manage to get in beer brags at the beginning, but even an exceptional FDR is overshadowed by our enthusiasm. It of in itself is tangentially related to the book. Also included is an informal poll Jeremy conducted in response to what he read.

174: Duck, Duck, Grey Duck

Uh oh. We wade into "current" events as Jeremy's beloved Toppling Goliath pulls a jerk move. But before that, beer brags. Michael had a refreshing Amarillo hopped summer beer and some Old Engine Oil. Jeremy touts some brews he had while at trivia, including the 2015 vintage of Breakfast Stout. Michael entices Jeremy by giving a sneak peek at the first few chapters of Barrel-Aged Stout and Selling Out. Then we talk Toppling Goliath vs. Thew, without expertise, or really arriving at a precise conclusion. Finally, it is time for the FDR, which comes with a few diversions - a pop quiz and a podcast pitch.
