Bird Brag: Nature & Stuff

Steve & Greg are back! Welcome to season 5. What are they guys drinking? Steve has a Finnish Long Drink, but Greg sticks with "ol' trusty" - Miller Lite. We learn about the Pacific Slope Fly Catcher, and Greg debuts his new And Stuff... his Top 10 Beers of all time.

Let't talk some common names! It's the end of our first year, and we are gonna have a little fun with a March Madness bracketology of common names of birds. Enjoy!

Season 4 is winding down, and Steve decided to mix it up and not talk about a bird. Steve has a couple Modelo Especial's while Greg enjoys The Botanist gin on the rocks. They spend time talking about a cute, little guy - The North American River Otter. The also talk about a ground-breaking movie from 1999 - The Blair Witch Project.

The guys talk about the largest sandpiper in North America - the Long-Billed Curlew. "But what are they drinking?" you ask? Steve steps it up with BOTH a Modelo Espcial and a Tito's rocks, so Greg followed suit with a Miller Lite and Tito's rocks. They end the episode talking about the 1987 classic The Princess Bride, written by the amazing William Goldman.

In this episode the guys have a West Coast theme with the Sooty Grouse and Frank Oz. Steve stays on point with a few glasses of Old Grouse Scotch and Greg has a nice Tanqueray gin martini. G rounds out the episode with a "Carson Family Classic" directed by Frank Oz himself.  Which movie did he pick? You'll just have to listen to find out,

Did you know that Heckle & Jeckle are magpies? Well, you do now. Steve enjoys 100 proof Old Tub Bourbon, and Greg sticks with his favorite, Miller Lite. The guys talk about a very Californian bird- the yellow-billed magpie, and end the episode talking about the 1980 classic, The Blues Brothers.

The guys are back with their first listener request - the Secretary Bird. (The Payne Stewart of birds.) Steve enjoys an IIPA from Knee Deep Brewing, and Greg has one of his favorite beers - Peroni, rhymes with Jabroni. They as talk about the 1992 box-office smash - Basic Instinct.

To get ready for this episode, Steve starts with some Tin Cup Whiskey, and Greg has a shot of Jaegermeister with an ice-cold Miller Lite. They guys talk about the North American rail - the Sora and then talk about the Tarantino classic - Pulp Fiction. 

Oh, if you like beaver trappin', you're in the right place.

As Steve says: Best. Episode. Ever.

In this episode, the guys have a new theme - Westerns. Steve has a few glasses of Campion Tequila, while Greg stars with some Jaegermeister shots, and then moves to a fine American Whiskey - B&E from California.
