087: Bits and Bobs

Here comes the money. Not burying the lead today: We try a currency related beer after a currency related quiz. Of course we have the usual beer brags (Michael had a strange combo of styles) and our Week in Geek (talking about an older, but good video game in light of recent news) too… but you came here for the beer, right?

086: Two Versions of Me, In Hop Form

We begin with Michael bragging about an unusual amber and Jeremy talking about some of that sticky-icky (fat) from his favorite Chicago brewery. Michael continues his YouTube science channel series and Jeremy hypes up a demonological show very worthy of the Week in Geek label. The scariness continues with a quiz on horror films. We then get into the FDR, which Michael and Jeremy are highly anticipating as it is a single hop, single malt brew. Does simplicity equal serendipity? There’s only one way to find out.

085: My Goo! The Thanksgiving Special

It is our Thanksgiving spectacular! We start off we beer brags fit for a feast (did somebody say five stars?) and some Thanksgiving talk. For the Week in Geek, Michael talks about some pumpkin spice dishes he’s been making for the season. Jeremy opens the floodgates about a metal show he went to, which elicits an impromptu quiz. Michael returns the favor with the “official” quiz that ties into the FDR. Finally, the FDR itself is perfect for the season and offers a chance at redemption for pumpkin beers.

084: Check Out My Can

...as in, beer can. But more of that later. We start out with some beer brags, including one from the vaunted Toppling Goliath. Michael starts a new series for the Week in Geek that focuses on good science channels on YouTube. Jeremy discusses “The Fireman” which spills into a conversation about Stephen King. Yes, an actual discussion about literature. Next is the “Check Out My Can” Quiz, which blends the FDR segment with some general knowledge questions. Then we sample this week’s beer and it is quite delicious.

083: Rodney Shoots Bertrum

Coming hot off the heels of a Halloween candy induced coma, The Males are back at it again. We have some rip-roaring beer brags featuring flatulent insects and some beers sampled at an Oktoberfest (some good, some not-so-hot). We then discuss our Top 3 Mario games of all time… the choices my surprise you. Jeremy then discusses a show he highly recommends, Mr. Robot, then pops a quiz on wrestling gimmicks (and I mean it this time). Finally, the FDR features a beer that is a bit “off color”. Was that too obvious?

082: Deep Fried Halloween Candy

Welcome to American Pale GHOULS! That doesn’t really work, does it? Unlike that pun, we did make an earnest effort for this Halloween special. Michael and Jeremy sample some homebrews that they made, including the much discussed grapefruit cider and What’s the Rhubarb II: Urban Harvest. After some back-slapping, we move to the kitchen where we deep fry and sample some Halloween standards. Finally, we lose our heads over the FDR beer. Well, not really, but if we had, it would have made a great pun.

081: Is It John Candy or Not?

On this podcast we try Polygamy. It was pretty good. We recommend everyone try it. Now that the trite double-entendre is out of the way, here’s what else is on this ep. Michael gives an update on the grapefruit cider project. Jeremy drank a wit and may be seeing John Candy. We then discuss the new season of South Park and have a new Podcast Pitch. We then try our hand at some Simpsons Trivia, which may be a bit too deep of a dive, but oh well. Finally, it is FDR time (see above).
