Columbus Is Real

Because we are dedicated to Columbus Is Real, we put our whole heart into this show. Even if it means having drinks multiple days of Labor Day weekend. We care dammit!

On Friday, Tom and Mike stopped by St. Mike's Festival for a bit, then on Saturday, Tom ventured into the belly of the beast and tailgated at the OSU game. If that wasn't enough, later that day they met back up and drank some beers at WoB Easton with the actual king of World of Beer. Or whatever the top rank is called. We weren't really paying attention. To top it off, we spent a good chunk of Labor Day "prepping" for the show. In 12oz increments.

A multi-stop tour of Gahanna! Our goal was to stop by Nostalgia one last time before we discussed it on the show, but we got hungry, then we were accosted by a gang of unruly teenage girls in an alley and ended up on a patio listening to live music and drinking beer out of styrofoam cups. You know, a typical night out.

We're back! Join as we discuss our daydrinking excursion to Seventh Son, Budd Dairy, and a little shopping at Flower Child.

Closing out 2025 with a look at Nocterra's new location - Nocterra Audubon. The guys also discuss some stats about the time between Christmas and New Year's. Apologies in advance for the wonky sound in spots, we have some new hardware and the manual may or may not have been completely read. The issue has been isolated and will be addressed before the next episode, I promise!

Hi! Sorry we're late! It's been crazy busy lately. But hey, we're here now. Tom and Mike. talk about Ren Fest, catch up on the police blotter, laugh and drink, then say night night to Emily. All in record time!

I know, I know! I'm super late. But the episode is here now! Tom and Mike rave about High Bank Distillery, and then discuss a guy who got a beatdown for his jukebox choices. Depending on the selection in question, maybe the asskicking was justified? Tune in to find out!

The guys chat about the greatest of all central Ohio festivals: Comfest! Then they follow it up with the police blotter, which includes a story about a man pleasuring himself in the sample sheds at Lowes and an up-and-coming coke dealer passing out free samples with his contact info.

Sorry for the delay! It's been hectic around here.

Anyways, Tom and Mike talk about Tom's hectic concert schedule then we discuss our favorite movie theater in town, Studio 35!

Holy crap - after 5 years and 60+ hours of audio, the boys have finally added video!

This month Tom and Mike discuss their visit to Nocterra in Powell, and cover a couple of fun stories from the police blotter, including a man that breaks the golden rule of crime and a potential actor for the inevitable live-action King of the Hill movie/TV show that breaks the golden rule of the post-9/11 world.

New name! New concept! New content! Here we are starting our sixth year!

Welcome to Columbus Is Real!

Of course, now is when our trusty mixer goes on the fritz, so the first minute or so were eaten by the audio gods, but fear not, you didn't miss much.

Tom and Mike discuss changes to the show, our recent trip to Natalie's Grandview, and some dude caught naked in a laundromat. You literally asked for that last part, by a wide margin.
