Episode Highlights:

We’re talking about the important stuff here, like the perfect chicken wing and what it needs to be. Greg recaps the weekend with Vanessa, Mr. Vixen, Coley and the rest of the crew, and all of the breweries that they went to with Little Flex. He also talks about his super boring 4th of July. On the, the Flex of July was quite enjoyable with some birthday fun, fireworks shenanigans, and more. And Greg tells the story of setting someone’s foot on fire, by accident of course.

Booze News:

  • TikTok is finally allowing the advertising of alcohol to minors…err users.
