Evan and Eric (minus Dan) present this special "holiday-themed" episode of Beats, Beards & Brews recorded live in Des Moines.

The duo took some time after the Thanksgiving holiday to fully digest Cattle Decapitation's Death Atlas, an extreme metal concept album about climate change and the extinction of the human race due to its own inaction and poor choices.

A conversation on "goblin vocals," blast beats and mass human extinction ensues (along with a review of the album).

You know, just normal holiday business!

Eric and Evan also play a fun game called "Would You Put That on Your Face?" where they determine whether they would put special holiday beard oils on their faces based on the scent profiles.

The holiday beard oils mentioned in this episode include:

• The Claus by Fable Beard Co.
• The Ginger Beard Man by Fable Beard Co.
• Jack Frost by Fable Beard Co.
• Winter Spice by Skully's
• Scrooge by Skully's
• Ho, Ho, Ho! by The Bearded Bastard
• Holiday Spice by Texas Beard Co.

In keeping with the holiday spirit of fun and games, Eric and Evan undertake what they refer to as the "Sufferfest Beer Gauntlet."

Sufferfest brews "beer for athletes." The two non-athletes drink and review three beers apiece from the company's core line-up.
