This week Pete turns up with 4 bottles of Hazers Gonna Haze from Belching Beaver Brewery (San Diego) and the studio instantly goes soft, juicy and very opinionated (don't miss the playout song). We open with a proper tasting — pillowy haze, tropical fruit notes and a surprisingly polite finish — then use that mellow haze as fuel for three loud conversations: our studio Top 10 sportspeople of the 21st century, the thorny reality of over-tourism, and a spicy showdown on whether some foods are legitimately too hot for human consumption.

The Top 10 debate is equal parts stats and shouting: Federer, Nadal, Messi, Ronaldo, Serena, Phelps, Bolt, Tiger, LeBron and Simone each get their moment in the ring as we argue medals vs moments vs cultural reach. We don’t shy from the awkward conversations either — scandals, tragic losses and the way off-field behaviour changes how we remember greatness all make it into the mix. Expect furious defence of club legends, nostalgic detours to ESPN-era icons, and a few hot takes you’ll want to tweet.

From trophies to travel, we pivot into over-tourism: Barcelona, Boracay, Bali, Prague and the way TV shows, short-term rentals and Instagram-ready moments turbo-charge destinations until locals beg for mercy. We weigh practical fixes (tourist taxes, caps, dispersal and ecotourism) against the real economic lifelines tourism provides — and share practical tips for listeners who want to be better travellers, not just louder ones. Then, because we like pain, we taste-test the idea that some food is simply too spicy — pizza, hot dogs, Guilin street eats and the classic Thai/Indonesian spice wars — and judge who survives (and who orders milk stout immediately afterwards).

Finally, the episode finishes on a ridiculous, joyful note: the very first Beaver Brewery Anthem — our beer-devoted play-out song. It’s ridiculous, it’s catchy, and yes, it’s the perfect soundtrack for a hazy debate about Messi vs Ronaldo or whether you should ever order “extra hot.” Pour a Hazers, press play and argue with us — then DM your spicy-food horror story, vote on your Top 10, and tell us which destination you think is most overdue for a tourism reboot.
