206: Crapple

Jeremy makes some prospective Final Four predictions and then some retroactive prospective Oscar predictions. Hear Jeremy slam the Best Picture winner before it won. We go  for some "good vengeance" on trivia, fairing better than we have in the past. Finally, we continue the Springtime Widow Watch Series with another witbier.

205: Yeast Tooth

Michael brings back beer brags because he had two notable barrel-aged brews from Wisconsin Brewing Company. Jeremy is sick of hazy IPAs, but will brut IPAs make up for that? We try our hand at pop culture trivia to break our slump, with poor results. Can you fair better? Then we attempt to force the seasons to change by having something a little more springy. Gajib, we coming for you!

204: Spiked Water: Filtered Malt Liquor

We open up by discussing hard seltzer waters/hard still water, speculating on how they are made. This leads into discussing Bacardi Silver and wine coolers. Ah, good old malternatives. We move onto trivia where our performance is only marginally better than last week, but at least we learned more about turn of the 20th century injustices. Finally, for the FDR, the beer takes a sour turn.

203: 0%

A surprise intro launches a discussion on old television shows which inadvertently bridges into an X-rated movie from the 70s. After quickly veering the car off that road, we get into trivia. We do not do well. How are we supposed to know about movies where actors died but really didn't die or who the Seven Mules are. Then we get into the FDR, but first, side note: Flanders.

202: Fix It All the Time

After ranking luncheon meats, we get into the trivia. And it is a twofer Tuesday today as we go through two cards in the Trivial Persuit Family Edition series. We dunk on both. In the FDR, we encounter a strange creature that impresses and gives us ponder.

201: Whipping Cat What?

Before getting back into the trivia routine, Michael asks Jeremy to recount an incident from his youth. The memory, or rather a memory, from it has plagued him for years. Then it is trivia time, where we are disappointed in ourselves for knowing so much about pre-2000 pop culture. Finally, we get into the FDR, where a balanced brew slakes thine thirst.

200: Belchertown

Welcome to the 200th episode of American Pale Males!  We celebrate by kicking Michael off FDR duties and bringing in a few guest hosts. Yes, this was... intentional... Actually, we had an interesting FDR from Jeremy in our backlog and we wanted to bring it out. This one is short and sweet.
