S4-E35, Ever thought about how mice seem to be hypnotized when stared at? Well, they're not, and we're here to set the record straight in the most delightful way. This was a week of sweltering heat, so naturally, we decided to crack open a few cold ones - beers that is! We clinked our glasses together in honor of some exquisite German beverages, beginning with a September Fest Golden  with 22 IBUs, and then moving on to a delectable Slice pumpkin beer.

Did you know that October Fest actually happens in September? Talk about a head-scratcher! Our refrigerator is starting to look like a homage to the orange gourd with all the pumpkin beers we've gathered. We even toyed with the idea of sending some to our friends overseas, along with a few cheeky Hot Cheetos and M&Ms. And speaking of heat, we've had a real scorcher this week. From Fort July's 104 degrees to the South's 101 - we've found solace in my 86-degree pool and some refreshing beers from Wolf Ridge Brewing Company.

Our conversation took a fun detour as we quizzed each other with random trivia, covering everything from the Titanic to Christmas celebrations and even some unexpected facts about boxing referees. We ended the episode on a soothing note, discussing our favorite smells. For Billy, it's the invigorating aroma of mint and the crisp Texas mornings. Listen in, and you may just find yourself immersed in a world of amusing anecdotes, trivia, and a shared love of beer.
