The second you hear that first crack of a beer can, you know it’s time to dive into the weird, wild, and downright uncomfortable corners of humanity with After 2 Beers.

In this episode, we’re asking the question: When should you speak up—and when should you just mind your own damn business?

First, we break down a wild airline story where one nosy passenger thought they saw a death threat in a stranger’s text… and got the entire flight diverted. Spoiler: it wasn’t that deep. Then, we flip the script with a hospital situation where staff stumbled on a patient’s dark secret after he left his phone behind. And just when you think you’ve heard it all, we serve up an ice cream truck story involving a confused vigilante and a very misunderstood Apple Pay transaction.

Of course, it wouldn’t be After 2 Beers without detours. We discuss how the average dog owner makes 27 decisions a month based entirely on their pet’s needs. If you’ve ever canceled plans for your dog—or fed them better than yourself—you’re not alone.

Then local fireworks expert Jeremy drops in with a hot take on how international tariffs are lighting a fuse under the industry. He even gives us the inside scoop on a recent pyrotechnic mishap that had the whole town buzzing.

We close the show with two squirm-worthy medical stories: one from China that involves an eel (where no eel should ever be), and another from Florida that takes “contraband” to a whole new level.

Funny, fast-paced, and totally unfiltered—this episode is a wild ride from start to finish. Whether you’re a longtime fan or cracking open your first cold one with us, buckle up. It’s going to get weird.

Remember when privacy meant drawing your curtains and locking your door? Those days are quickly vanishing, and in this eye-opening episode, we confront the unsettling reality of our surveillance-saturated world. 

The conversation begins with a seemingly innocent debate about hotels versus Airbnbs (would you stay somewhere if the owner is sleeping downstairs?), but quickly evolves into something far more provocative when we reveal China's latest military innovation: drones the size of mosquitoes. These tiny surveillance devices can literally fit between your thumb and forefinger yet capture crystal-clear footage. As we pass around beers from our sponsors at The Bottle Shop, we contemplate how technology has fundamentally altered the concept of being alone.

We dive into the psychology of FOPO – Fear of Public Opinion – which experts are now calling a new epidemic. Do you check your social media posts obsessively for likes? Feel anxious when ordering food because the line behind you might be judging you? You're not alone. Our discussion about digital validation and hypervigilance reveals how we're all affected by this modern condition.

The news segment delivers stories you definitely won't hear on mainstream networks: a man who discovered he was married when his ex-fiancée left the certificate on his porch, a guy who attacked someone with a wooden stake believing they were a werewolf, and a Florida resident who called 911 over 16,000 times. Between explosive tequila-soaked turkeys and vigilante dollar store employees, these bizarre true stories highlight just how strange our world has become.

Whether you're concerned about technology's reach, fascinated by human psychology, or just need some laughs about Florida's wildest residents, this episode delivers genuine conversation that feels like hanging out with friends around a bonfire. The world may be watching, but we're still laughing.

Death comes for us all, but what happens to your body afterward? That's entirely up to you – and the After Two Beers podcast team has some thoughts. In their latest episode, Dutch, Kimmy, and Michael introduce listeners to the intriguing concept of "boil in a bag" cremation, an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional burial or cremation that's gaining traction worldwide. 

The hosts share their personal end-of-life preferences with surprising candor, from Michael's simple cremation wishes to Kimmy's desire for a memorial bench where loved ones can visit. This thoughtful discussion raises important questions about how we approach death planning and the value of having these conversations before they're urgently needed. As the team points out – we're all getting older, and preparing those we leave behind is an act of love.

But this wouldn't be After Two Beers without some risqué content! The crew dives into fascinating research from Adam & Eve revealing that 81% of adults experience sexual dreams regularly, with over half experiencing actual orgasms during them. This leads to a hilarious debate when two hosts claim they rarely remember their dreams at all – prompting accusations of "having no soul" and an impromptu science lesson about REM sleep.

Between these deeper discussions, the podcast delivers its signature bizarre news roundup: a Kentucky man who released a raccoon in a restaurant for revenge, a Saudi Arabian tourist who called 911 when a stripper wouldn't have sex with him, and a teen who urinated in a baseball team's water jug. There's also a revealing conversation about unexpected Ozempic side effects that has the hosts in stitches.

After nearly eight years of podcasting together, the After Two Beers team continues to blend humor with substance in a way that makes difficult conversations accessible and entertaining.

The filters come off and the truth flows freely when Dutch Dalton, Kimmy Gibbler, and Puddin' crack open a few cold ones in their Richmond studio. What starts as casual conversation around a hypothetical campfire quickly spirals into a rollicking journey through stories you'll never hear on mainstream news.

Ever wondered what Abraham Lincoln's bloodstained gloves might fetch at auction? How about $2.5 million—a price that sparks deeper questions about our fascination with historical artifacts and celebrity memorabilia. The hosts ponder whether collecting unopened bourbon bottles is sensible when you could actually drink them, leading to philosophical musings about mortality and enjoyment versus preservation.

Between sips of Natter Days and Fireball, the conversation veers wildly from funeral home mix-ups to a Haitian food vendor who poisoned 40 gang members in revenge for her murdered family. You'll hear about Wienermobile races, underwater scooter getaways from the FBI, and proposed Olympics where performance-enhancing drugs aren't just allowed—they're encouraged.

The show's signature "Campfire Discussions" segment invites vulnerable sharing about celebrity crushes and which body parts we could live without, creating moments of surprising intimacy amidst the laughter. While the humor runs raw and unfiltered, the episode concludes with a heartfelt reminder to check on friends who might be struggling—because sometimes, the smallest gesture can mean everything to someone going through hard times.

Remember when taking a selfie just meant striking a pose and snapping a quick pic? Those days are clearly gone as we dive into not one but TWO stories of selfie-seekers whose pursuit of the perfect shot landed them in the hospital. One man climbed into a crocodile enclosure because he thought the reptile was fake (spoiler: it wasn't), while another tourist became impaled on Rome's Colosseum fence trying to get that Instagram-worthy angle.

But the ridiculous human behavior doesn't stop there. A Turkish town accidentally got high for FIVE DAYS when authorities burned 20 tons of seized cannabis in the open air, creating a smoke cloud that enveloped the entire community. Meanwhile, in Ohio, police pulled over a woman only to discover her pet raccoon, Chewy, attempting to smoke a meth pipe in the passenger seat. And yes, there's video evidence.

We also tackle more serious conversations about Virginia's new law restricting minors from social media usage, Airbnb's celebrity experience service (who would you choose to hang out with?), and the declining interest in parenthood among young adults. Between fits of laughter and thoughtful debate, we somehow manage to cover everything from dangerous playground equipment of yesteryear to the universal truth that peeing in your backyard is just part of being human.

The world can be an absurd place, but it's also filled with people who might be struggling beneath the surface. So while we laugh at the outrageous headlines, we hope you'll take a moment to check in on someone who might need it. Sometimes a simple "how are you doing?" can be the one thing that helps someone make it through another day.

Three unfiltered Gen X hosts take you on a wild journey through news stories you definitely won't hear on your local stations. With drinks in hand and inhibitions lowered, they dive into the bizarre, shocking, and laugh-out-loud absurd events happening around the world.

This episode explores a high school lacrosse hazing gone terribly wrong, where older players kidnapped a younger teammate, put a pillowcase over his head, and abandoned him in a car trunk. The hosts examine why these dangerous traditions persist in sports teams, fraternities, and surprisingly, marching bands.

Your heart will break for the Japanese man who spent ten years saving for his dream Ferrari—only to watch it burn to ashes just twenty minutes after delivery. The $306,000 luxury vehicle caught fire on the highway, leaving nothing but a viral social media post and shattered dreams.

On the lighter side, discover the "coolest Easter egg hunt ever" organized by a creative Texas drug dealer who hid marijuana-filled plastic eggs throughout public parks and posted clues online. Meanwhile, the Washington Nationals created chaos by scheduling both "Bark in the Park" night and fireworks simultaneously, giving dog owners just 20 minutes to evacuate their terrified pets.

Between stories, the conversation weaves through everyday pet peeves, driving frustrations, and perspective-shifting moments that remind us of our first-world problems. The hosts close with a heartfelt reminder about mental health, emphasizing the importance of reaching out when struggling. Whether you're looking for outrageous headlines, unfiltered commentary, or occasional moments of genuine wisdom, this episode delivers it all with the casual authenticity of friends sharing drinks and stories.

The After Two Beers podcast returns after a brief hiatus with hosts Dutch Dalton, Kimmy Gibbler, and Puddin' picking up right where they left off – bringing their unique brand of conversational humor to strange and fascinating stories from around the world.

The episode takes listeners on a journey beginning with the hosts' recent experience at a local wrestling event. Despite impressive athleticism and entertainment value, they couldn't help but notice the overwhelming locker room smell permeating the venue. "The moment you hit that door, it was like getting hit in the face with a sledgehammer of smell," Dutch recounts. They discover this isn't just a local phenomenon – there's an entire online community dedicated to discussing the hygiene challenges at wrestling events.

A darker topic emerges as they explore speculation about a possible serial killer operating in New England, connecting discoveries of human remains across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The conversation expands into America's fascination with true crime and serial killers, with Puddin' sharing FBI statistics that approximately 50 active serial killers are operating in the United States – significantly fewer than the estimated 300 in the 1960s and 70s. "You never know who you're next to," comments one listener, highlighting the unsettling reality behind our true crime obsession.

The hosts then turn their attention to Gayle King and Katy Perry's recent Blue Origin space flight, marveling at how a quarter-million-dollar experience lasted just eleven minutes. "It takes longer to drive from my house to the east side of Richmond, Indiana, than they went to space," Dutch observes. The phallic shape of Jeff Bezos' rocket provides ample material for the hosts' trademark humor.

Between discussions of a Florida curio shop selling human remains on Facebook Marketplace and an upcoming "sperm racing" league in Los Angeles, the episode maintains its perfect balance of the bizarre, humorous, and occasionally profound.

From the Florida Man Games to an $88,000 Cheeto, this episode dives headfirst into the bizarre stories that never make your local news broadcast.

Dutch, Kimmy, and Puddin' take us through the wild world of the second annual Florida Man Games, featuring events that perfectly capture Florida's chaotic essence - from an Evading Arrest Obstacle Course (complete with alligator throwing) to Hurricane Aisle Brawls where contestants joust with shopping carts. These aren't parodies; they're real competitions with thousands of spectators and family-friendly atmospheres.

The trio explores relationship disasters that will make your own seem blissfully normal. A North Carolina woman locked her boyfriend in a storage unit for nearly a week, while an 18-year-old Florida woman vandalized a car in revenge against her ex - unfortunately targeting an innocent neighbor's vehicle instead. We hear about a Memphis man claiming his dog accidentally shot him (suspicious circumstances included), and a woman who stabbed her boyfriend for refusing her cooking.

The hosts share personal anecdotes about cooking disasters and relationship compromises that strike the perfect balance between hilarious and relatable. Between stories about nose-picking emergencies, human cannonball accidents, and a child calling 911 for "emergency donuts," the podcast reminds us why these stories matter - they help us appreciate our relatively normal lives.

Before signing off, Dutch shares a thoughtful message about reaching out to friends who might be struggling with unseen challenges. As he puts it, "some of the most trying things in my life are the random shit that happens on a Tuesday that you never saw coming."
