Fire up the air fryer and buckle in—we’re hitting the road for a high-speed episode of Beer, Blues, and BS! This week, J.S. Gunslinger joins us live from a 300-mile stretch of highway, fueling up on "Lando Norris" Monster energy drinks and sharing a life-changing air-fried tortellini food hack that you have to hear to believe.

Between traffic reports and GPS rerouting nightmares, we celebrate WrestleMania weekend with some heavy hitters: Mark Kidder is double-fisting Templeton Rye from an Austin 316 glass, while Rudeboy Kyle welcomes the legendary Yuengling to its new home in Iowa. We also debut a brand-new segment, "The Blues Blotter," featuring the most bizarre and hilarious police reports from the Montana "Flathead Beacon."

Plus, we talk competitive shooting with the new Sig 2011 "Night Shift," plan an "Ultimate Blues Traveler" playlist for our upcoming concert trip, and debate the existence of Mustard Soda.

Is the superhero genre officially "over the hill"? This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, we’re diving into the Hollywood saturation crisis—debating whether Chris Pratt and Pedro Pascal are in too many projects and why the MCU feels like it’s stuck in a "Stephen Moffat-era" loop.

But it’s not all movie rants! Rudeboy Kyle is officially turning 40 and planning a bucket-list trip to the Austrian F1 Grand Prix. We break down the logistics of traveling to Salzburg, the controversial "battery-engine" blend of modern racing, and why you should never leave Austria without a bag of Mozart chocolate (unless your dog eats it first).

Plus, Mark Kidder gets emotional over the Artemis 2 moon launch, Howard Blues survives a "hop tea" that tasted like watery lawn clippings, and we discuss the proper vacuum power required for a zero-gravity toilet.

From the airwaves to the assembly line, Episode 260 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a journey through corporate radio drama and high-tech hobbies. Mark Kidder pulls back the curtain on the end of his show, Last Ride Home, giving us a raw look at corporate radio "cutbacks," the secret world of "Radio Diaries," and what it’s like to have the #1 rated show in the country one day and be the "bug on the windshield" the next.

But as one door closes, a parade float opens! The crew brainstorms a world-first: broadcasting the TripleB live from a parade (May 8th!), complete with candy-throwing logistics and "sound interference" warnings.

In the hobby corner, LCL Geek shows off his new drone footage while discussing the legal headaches of Part 107 licensing. Howard Blues shares his first-ever paid miniature commission—a mushroom fairy for a coworker—and reveals the Heritage Center's wild new expansion: a 60-foot Minuteman III missile destined for a 57-foot room.

Five years. 259 episodes. 1,550 Drinks. We’ve officially hit the half-decade milestone, and we’re celebrating the only way we know how: with a two-hour marathon of brews, questionable trivia, and a healthy dose of revenge.

The anniversary kicks off with a massive What’s On Tap session featuring everything from a legendary 4.9-rated Cold Smoke Scotch Ale to a White Mocha Stout that divided the room. We also dive into the "Big Data" of TripleB—did you know we’ve put away 200 non-alcoholic beverages over the last five years? LCL Geek breaks down the spreadsheets, revealing that 86.77% of our "research" has been strictly alcoholic.

But it’s not all toasts and trophies. JS finally gets his revenge on Howard for years of IPA torture by serving up a bag of mystery drinks. Plus, we talk about the end of an era at Oscars Bar, the legend of Chuck Norris, and a physical challenge in Boise involving a 66-pound silver ingot.

It’s a family affair and a trip down memory lane! This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, we welcome back a legend: Lefty Blues makes her first appearance since Episode 76! We’ve traded the beer for lukewarm water (shoutout to "Lukewarm Lefty") to tackle a live painting session of some "Heart Breaker" miniatures.

The episode is pure chaos from the start, featuring technical glitches, a "Wild Child" interruption, and the hazards of painting while overtired. We dive deep into the world of Reaper vs. Army Painter speed paints, discuss the "programming" logic of the board game Colt Express, and share some truly therapeutic rants about the nightmare of retail work at Kohl’s.

From the "electronic frog" sounds of wearable breast pumps to the mystery of why toddlers ask the same question 40 times a day, this episode is a raw, funny look at hobbies, parenting, and surviving the workplace.

Get ready for the ultimate cellar clean-out! In Episode 257, the crew is clearing the decks and preparing for the road to the 5-Year Anniversary (coming up fast at Episode 259!) with a high-stakes TripleB Beer & Liquor Draft.

To determine the draft order, the team plays a cutthroat guessing game based on nearly 250 episodes of show history. From "Toilet Turtles" to JS Gunslinger’s infamous "Four Loko and Juice" incident, we’re revisiting the moments that made the show.

Before the draft madness, we dive into the "Battle Van" project, debate whether artificial banana flavor is a culinary masterpiece or a crime, and hear a wild "small world" story about Doc meeting Mark Kidder’s dad years before the podcast even existed.

From "Electric Blue Phlegm" to $40 lawsuits, this episode of Beer, Blues, and BS is a rollercoaster of medical mysteries and questionable life choices. Howard Blues kicks things off with a terrifying discovery involving color-changing Oreos, while Doc tempts fate by nearly buying a Four Loko—only to settle on a "High Gravity" lager that definitely wasn't "smooth."

The crew dives deep into the Blackhawks' rebuilding agony, the return of Nazem Kadri to the Avalanche, and a heated critique of Starfleet Academy (including an alien that throws up glitter?). We also talk about the Scrubs revival, the "power in numbers" of class action lawsuits, and why every miniature painter needs to own a literal box of skulls.

From handmade jerky to a "million rabbits walking backward," the crew is back to break down the latest in brews, beef, and the bizarre state of streaming sports. This week, we dive into the "WWE Streaming Nightmare"—explaining why you now need four different subscriptions just to follow your favorite wrestlers—and speculate on the mysterious person-sized crate delivered to Monday Night Raw.

The highlight of the night? A deep dive into Jerky Science. LCL Geek brings a clone recipe from Three Floyds, leading to a heated debate over whether carbonation in a Dr. Pepper marinade actually tenderizes the meat. Plus, we settle the score on Tajin seasoning (it belongs on everything), explore the "ghosts" of the Custer House, and a humorous AI mistake.

Is modern Sci-Fi "rage-baiting" its own fans? This week, Mark Kidder goes on a legendary tear against Starfleet Academy, breaking down everything from planet-sized plot holes to the "moronic" behavior of the newest cadets. From inconsistent transporters to the dramatic, unnecessary warp-sequence strobe lights, we’re asking the tough question: Has Trek lost its way by pandering to short attention spans?

The crew also dives into the Scrubs revival (and whether it can redeem the "Season 9" disaster), the physical accuracy of Alan Ritchson vs. Tom Cruise in Reacher, and why modern Netflix movies feel the need to repeat their plots five times just in case you're looking at your phone. Plus, LCL Geek gives an update on his "Local Lego Builder" channel and we settle the ultimate nerd debate: To sticker or not to sticker?

Put down the Silver Monkey and pick up a cold one! This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, the crew is diving into the nostalgia of Legends of the Hidden Temple (and why the reboot totally sucked) before tackling the most bizarre headlines from the Winter Olympics. From a Bismarck local taking home the gold to the infamous "Penis Gate" ski jumping scandal, we’re covering the stories the mainstream news is too afraid to touch.

The "What's on Tap" segment makes history this week with every single drink in Round 1 scoring a 4.0 or higher. We also get a deep dive into Battlefield 6—discussing everything from rainbow sniper shots and tank streaks to the "hardcore" crackdown on cheaters. Plus, Howard Blues continues his "penalty shot" model painting project, while LCL Geek shares the technical struggles of a Lego builder’s green screen.
