The Birds and the Beers

Welcome aboard, craft beer passengers. Greg and Flex hit some IPA turbulence courtesy of Pilot Tom, Greg revisits a coffee stout email that tastes like old refrigerator coffee, and he remembers getting chased out of Hooters over a missing tip. A Florida man tries to explain why driving backward down a highway was better than swerving, a former WWE star suplexes his way into a DUI, BuzzBalls are dominating, and Poop Beer-gate continues.

Beers We’re Drinking:

1. Flex is drinking Citraquench’l from Heist Brewery, a Citra-hopped hazy IPA that Pilot Tom warned was underwhelming.
2. Greg is drinking Let It Out from Unsung Brewing, a dry New Zealand IPA with Enigma hop energy.

Flex defends his lifelong hatred of the Cubs, including in front of his kids. Later, a Target run for first aid turns into him trying to steer his daughter away from the adult section across the aisle. Greg shares a high school Hooters date that ended with a waitress chasing him into the parking lot. Meanwhile, Pilot Tom unknowingly becomes a hero after sending Flex an IPA and accurately warning him in advance that it might be disappointing, proving once again that pilots are good at identifying turbulence before everyone else feels it.
