Beer Blues and BS

Get ready for one of the most unpredictable flavor gauntlets in Beer, Blues, and BS history! In Episode 268, the crew faces off against a lineup of beverages that pushes their taste buds to the absolute limit. We’re putting everything to the test—from a prebiotic cherry vanilla cola and a "positive energy" drink inspired by Bob Ross, to a high-stakes "Jackpot" flavor of Four Loko and a Mountain Dew "Dirty Cream Soda" that leaves the room completely divided.

Beyond the beverage reviews, The Blues Blotter returns with an unforgettable look at early May local incidents. The police logs deliver pure gold this week, featuring a cowboy chasing a corgi, a muskrat taking over a local skate park, an ex-girlfriend's bizarre step-stool heist, and a pair of neighborhood dogs with a history of bunny trouble.

Plus, the team pulls off a vital viral fact-check regarding a legendary Walmart manager hoax, tracks down the real-world utility wire theft wave, and breaks down the latest legal drama surrounding competitive eating icon Joey Chestnut ahead of the July 4th season. We also critique the military realism of Stargate SG1, review Guillermo del Toro's take on Frankenstein, and drop major release details for the upcoming Star Trek crossover hitting Magic: The Gathering.

Beam us up, because Episode 267 of Beer, Blues, and BS is diving straight into the deep end of sci-fi logic, weird automated glitches, and the changing world of live entertainment. We kick things off with a heavy-hitting Star Trek transporter debate before shifting to a bizarre real-world headline: a stationary museum replica in Illinois somehow triggered an automated speeding ticket from New York City.

Over on the bar counter, the "What's on Tap" segment delivers a massive spectrum of scores. The crew navigates a gauntlet of everything from an 18-year-old aged spiced rum and Mango Chili Tepache to a heavily criticized IPA that earns one of the most uniquely creative "imaginary" ratings in show history.

Plus, we tackle the massive price inflation hitting concert tours and sporting events—sparking a trip down memory lane about the old-school hacks we used as students to sneak into games for free. We also discuss YouTuber Geo Wizard's intense "straight-line missions" across the UK, pay tribute to a radio icon, and celebrate a huge milestone as one of our own prepares to head to Carnegie Hall!

From the deserts of Abu Dhabi to the missile silos of North Dakota, Episode 266 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a true global tour! This week, we celebrate the grand return of Big D after a multi-month hiatus. He drops in from Alabama to share his wild experiences surviving 120-degree heat in the UAE, the mind-bending vertigo of Dubai’s "Team Labs" art exhibit, and the precise art of repairing hand-painted Lord of the Rings miniatures that Howard smuggled across the Atlantic.

The "What's on Tap" segment is an absolute gauntlet. While JS checks in exhausted from a New Jersey convention center with a top-tier Guinness, Doc risks it all on a lychee grass jelly drink that left a "never again" grass-like aftertaste. Howard Blues tests a cola-flavored iced tea from China and battles what he officially crowns the worst item ever consumed on the show.

Plus, we celebrate the Avalanche playoff victory, map out a road trip to the Oscar Zero missile capsule 50 feet underground, and look through the April police archives in The Blues Blotter—where loose bulls and heifer standoffs are causing traffic jams in Montana.

Is the "Track Seven Theory" actually real? This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, we’re testing the legend that the seventh song on every album is the best one while building the Ultimate Blues Traveler Playlist. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the harmonica-shredding John Popper or only know the hits from the 90s, this deep dive is designed to get you ready for our upcoming concert trek in September.

But before we hit the high notes, we’re navigating the low points of parenting and "medication-induced hallucinations." Howard Blues recounts a surreal night of falling asleep sitting up, while JS and Rudeboy Kyle trade strategies on blackout shades and the impossible 10-minute "sleep window" for toddlers. Plus, Doc shares the eerie experience of performing a live radio concert to an empty room, and we debate whether a $15 four-pack of lager is ever truly worth it.

Toss your taste buds in the trash, because Episode 264 is a brutal gauntlet of "artificial" experiments! From Howard Blues struggling through a hickory-smoked vegan jerky that tasted like sweet leather to JS attempting a truly unholy "Guinness-on-Monster" float, this episode is a masterclass in what happens when curiosity goes wrong.

The crew dives into some serious networking solutions for JS’s garage Wi-Fi "dead zone," while Mark Kidder enjoys a New Glarus Pilsner that earned a "smuggled" bonus point for its journey to the studio. We also get the lowdown on the Amberana Belgian Blonde Ale—a homebrew contest winner—and a "More S'mores" stout that was so bad it earned a "negative two-star" review from a special guest palate.

From high-speed highways to the halls of justice, Episode 263 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a cross-country journey through the strange and the sublime. While J.S. Gunslinger battles a 70-mile stretch to Sioux Falls fueled by melon-flavored Monster, the rest of the crew dives into a massive legal victory for home distillers and the landmark antitrust verdict against the Live Nation/Ticketmaster monopoly.

The "What's on Tap" segment delivers a wild spectrum of ratings, featuring everything from a "sugary and delicious" Cayman Jack Margarita to a Pink Guava Cider that sadly fell flat. We also tackle the ultimate music festival "scam": a California country fest headlined by... Ludacris and Bush?

Plus, we’ve got a deep dive into NHL Playoff pranks, Broadway ticket-buying hacks from Doc, and a hilarious trip through the Montana Police Blotter—where silly string attacks and 8:30 AM drug deals are just another day in the Flathead Valley.

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.
