Crimes from the Bar

Pull up a stool, craft beer friends. Greg gets replaced by Steph in an AI-generated PR pitch, Non-Murderer John keeps the beer trades coming, birthday week starts with hotel snoring plans, one guy FaceTiming from a bar sparks a debate on public phone etiquette, and Booze News includes free World Cup beer and a Nebraska woman who showed up to court with a .336 BAC.

Beers We’re Drinking:

1. Greg is drinking Death Awaits Black IPA from Fidens Brewing, a citrusy black IPA that refuses to act like a stout.
2. Flex is drinking Gravity Palace from Definitive Brewing, an 11% New England triple IPA picked by his daughter and judged accordingly.

Flex is getting ready to spend birthday week sharing a hotel room with family, which quickly turns into a discussion about drunk snoring, sleeping on the couch, and why Vegas cigarettes somehow seem perfectly acceptable. Non-Murderer John keeps his streak alive with another beer trade before Greg reads one of the worst PR emails the show has ever received after an AI decides Steph has replaced him as co-host. The guys spend way more time than expected arguing about FaceTiming people at a bar, sipping tequila shots, and why speakerphone in public should be considered an open invitation for everyone else to join the conversation. Flex also introduces his daughter’s latest “Daddy ABV” pick while Greg wonders who thought Sleepy Girl Mocktails was a good product name.
