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.

Grab your paintbrushes and a cold one! This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, the crew is diving into the "nerd-sphere" as Howard Blues attempts the high-stakes experiment of painting a 3D-printed Ogre Magi on camera. Meanwhile, JS Gunslinger takes "Dad of the Year" honors by detailng his epic project: transforming a salon room into a D&D mine shaft—complete with gold veins and arrowed skeletons.

From the legalities of trademarked rum drinks to the heartbreaking closure of regional staples like Sanford’s Grub and Pub, we’re covering it all. We also settle (or ignite) the great Bismarck debate: Do people actually dip their popcorn in ranch dressing? Plus, we celebrate the 15th anniversary of a certain infamous National Anthem performance, talk "Green Stuff" sculpting, and share tips on how to handle an 80-year-old ketchup thief.

Get ready for a deep-dive "Crossover Special" as Beer, Blues, and BS joins forces with Howard’s Cave of Wonder! This week, Howard Blues and LCL Geek are taking over the microphones to nerd out on everything from tabletop tactics to high-speed police chases. Plus, a huge announcement from Howard. The Triple B will never be the same!

The duo breaks down the "Bismarck-Mandan pursuit" that literally happened right before recording, before pivoting into a masterclass on board games. Whether you’re curious about the best player count for a D&D session, why some classic games like Catan might be overrated, or how to fix a chewed-up TMNT puzzle with nothing but PVA glue and sheer will—this episode has you covered.

Plus, we’re celebrating the launch of LCL Geek’s new YouTube channel, "Local Lego Builder," and discussing the strange world of 3D printing and crowdfunding.

250 EPISODES! We’ve officially hit a massive milestone, and the whole crew is here to celebrate in the rowdiest "mega-episode" yet. From Tony Soprano and Doc to JS Gunslinger and Big Badda Boom, the virtual table is packed for four intense rounds of tastings.

This episode has everything: a breakdown of the legendary Chicago Pizza debate (Lou Malnati’s vs. Giordano's), a deep dive into the "spirit tax" of Washington State, and the mystery of the "staged" youth hockey brawl that went viral. We also pay our respects to the late Scorpions bassist, Francis Buchholz, and Howard Blues tries to survive a "fermented bread drink" that tastes exactly like liquid toast.

Whether you have been here since the beginning or just joining the show now—grab a cold one and join the family. Here’s to 250 more!

With Howard Blues making an "Irish goodbye" to nurse a fever, the rest of the crew kicks into high gear for a marathon session of Beer, Blues, and BS! From the "ocean spray" saltiness of Talisker 10-Year Scotch to a deep dive into the Bismarck Burger Slam, this episode is a feast for the senses. We’re breaking down the best (and most "basic") burger entries in town, debating whether cilantro actually tastes like soap, and mourning the loss of a bison burger because the restaurant was literally empty.

Plus, we head to the desert for a Las Vegas travel guide: learn how to dodge those $50 resort fees, where to find the best all-you-can-eat lobster, and why you should never pass up "dangerous" 8.5% ABV guava cider.

From the "Living Embodiment of Charlie Brown" to a quest to "beat the Google," Episode 248 is a wild ride through sickness, scotch, and Sci-Fi mishaps!

The crew is battling the "crud" this week, with Howard Blues powering through a fever and Rudeboy Kyle recovering with a strategic mix of electrolytes and Sam’s Club bourbon. Meanwhile, Brother Niko breaks down the frustrating saga of a misspelled Star Trek model, and Mark Kidder gives us the cold, hard truth about shipped frozen deep-dish pizza.

Whether you're here for the 4.1-rated Straw Gator, the heated debate over Chicago’s best pizza (Lou Malnati’s vs. Giordano's), or just want to hear the team plead with the world to wash their hands—this episode has it all.

Episode 247 brings the heat—and the cold! While the host might be "very much drunk" by the end, we’ve got a massive show filled with breaking news, simulator gameplay, and the long-awaited origin story of Howard’s Hannah Montana incident.

In this episode, we tackle some heavy-hitting headlines:

• The Menards Lawsuit: We break down the $4.25 million settlement over those famous 11% rebates. Is it a discount or a deceptive practice?

• The "Baldness" Ruling: A British court has ruled that calling a man "bald" can be sexual harassment. Howard and Mark discuss what this means for their own workplace banter.

• Snow Plow Simulator Access: Mark Kidder gets exclusive developer access to a new simulator!

The Main Event: Howard finally spills the beans on the "Hannah Montana Story." It’s a wild tale involving a stressful portfolio review, being falsely labeled a racist at UND, and a post-exam drinking session that led to a very unexpected TV binge. This leads to a deep dive into:

• The pressure of graduating in four years.

• Why most of us took much longer to finish our degrees.

• The "utility" of bachelor’s degrees in careers that have nothing to do with them.

Plus, we drink a beverage that is a bad idea for several reasons!

Episode 246 is here, and the Triple B crew is trading simple cans for high-end mixology—with a side of major controversy!

In this episode, we dive into the industry-shaking news of a title being stripped of its Game of the Year awards over the use of generative AI. We break down the ethics of AI in gaming, its massive environmental footprint, and whether "placeholder" content is killing human artistry.

Highlights from the show:

Plus, we talk about stolen police car chases, the final flavor in the Mushroom Jerky saga, and JS’s genius hack for "test-driving" expensive hunting knives before you buy.

Happy New Year! The Triple B crew is back and already "blitzed" for the first show of 2026!

This episode kicks off with a spirited round of What's On Tap featuring gifted drinks, including a fascinating comparison between a New Glarus Spotted Cow and a clone brewed by LCL Geek! Plus, Rudeboy Kyle is sampling a fine Widow Jane bourbon, and Mark Kidder is taking one for the team with a potentially "dangerous" lemon soju.

The conversation quickly turns futuristic and contentious as we dive into Disney’s $1 Billion agreement with OpenAI, discussing the ramifications for actors and artists, and predicting the next SAG strike.

We break down the surprisingly awesome Street Fighter Movie Trailer (ft. Roman Reigns and 50 Cent!), check in on the marathon that is One Piece Season 1, Episode 1,155, and get the details on the new Total War: Warhammer 40k RTS game reveal.

The Triple B crew is back for their final episode of the year, and it’s a holiday spectacular! Tune in to hear the legendary Mark Kidder get unexpectedly summoned by the magic words, Howard Blues deliver an uncharacteristically deep intro, and a full round of What's On Tap featuring everything from sugar-free vodka mixes and "blue wine" to a homemade whiskey sour.

We hit a six terabyte storage milestone, unveil the new "TripleB out of context" feature, and dive into a fiery session of Howard's Hot Takes: Christmas Edition. Find out which holiday classics the team thinks are overrated, which songs deserve more airplay, and the one holiday food item that should be banned from your dinner table forever. Plus, JS provides real-time sewing education while inventorying the hilarious contents of a child's ripped backpack!

Don't miss the final word on: The infamous "parking ticket" game, the perils of North Dakota weather, and a deep-dive into Christmas traditions (and the decorations we absolutely refuse to put up).
