The Colompton Beer Club is back with a packed episode covering everything from America's 250th birthday celebration to the latest headlines in sports, technology, entertainment, and everyday life.
This week, Jake and Steve discuss the 4th of July and what America's 250th anniversary means, along with the newly announced Patriot Games national athletic competition that has people comparing it to The Hunger Games. They also take a look at NFL history by breaking down which franchises have never produced winners of major awards like MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and Coach of the Year.
The conversation turns to former NFL star Chris Johnson's ALS diagnosis, the reactions surrounding Michael Strahan's interview, and the larger discussion about player health after football. The guys also cover the latest NBA trades, Ford's decision to bring human engineers back into the quality-control process after AI shortcomings, and Sony's plan to move away from physical PlayStation game discs beginning in 2028.
Plus, the guys sip on and review Trippel by New Belgium Brewing Co. and Chesapeake Lager by Ten Eyck Brewery while Jake shares a recent family trip to ClimbZone, reviews the 2026 horror film Obsession, and wrap things up with another round of Rapid Fire questions.
Grab a beer and join the conversation.
