Lax Historical Context

Look at Lax Historical Context, getting all holier than though! Not really, but Sean and Sasha are talking about a couple of saints. While telling you about them, they drink the Daily Wages from Brasserie Saint James.

Lax Historical Context marks the anniversary of a day that will live in infamy, by discussing a film that did a terrible job at honoring it. Sean and Sasha discuss the 2001 Michael Bay film Pearl Harbor, while drinking Asahi Super Dry, from Asahi Breweries in Japan.

Lax Historical Context is a couple of days late for dinner! To celebrate Thanksgiving, Sean and Sasha discuss the history of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, which now starts on Thursdays, apparently. Their discussion is accompanied by Blue Moon's Harvest Pumpkin Wheat.

Originally a "Meanwhile in Japan" episode, Lax Historical Context instead talks about disasters that happened in 1923 (one of which happened to Japan!). Sasha and Sean also have some fun with a brief 1923 quiz because a lot of stuff apparently happened that year. This episode is accompanied by Seismic Brewing's Shatter Cone IPA.

Lax Historical Context doesn't get topical, at all, they totally swear. Not inspired by current events at all, Sasha and Sean discuss a couple of past presidential scandals. Their conversation is accompanied by The Local Lager from Lead Dog Brewing Co.

Lax Historical Context takes a special trip to the city of brotherly love! Not really, but they are talking about brothers. Specifically, a couple of brothers whose siblings were way more famous than them. Despite neither subject being a twin, Sean and Sasha drink the I Always Felt Closer to IPAs than I Did to People IPA from Evil Twin Brewing.

Lax Historical Context finally finally keeps a promise and focuses on Japan. Kind of. Sean and Sasha talk about a couple of things that went on with Japan during World War II. While discussing, they drink the West Coast Haze made by FiftyFifty Brewing.

At some point (most likely September 1st), Lax Historical Context celebrated one year of podcasting. We realized this because this is now the second Nevada Day episode we've done, so...yay! Right? Anyway, Sasha and Sean talk some more Nevada on account of the special day that isn't Halloween. To celebrate, they drink Nevada Strong, a Belgian strong dark ale aged in brandy barrels and made jointly by Great Basin Brewing in Sparks, NV and Big Dog's Brewing in Las Vegas.

Sasha and Sean put terrible leaders from yesteryear in the spotlight with an episode focusing on the awful things they did. In honor of people who resist awful leaders, they drink The Dissident, the one with marionberries, from Deschutes Brewery.

The folks at Lax Historical Context couldn't figure out a decent title for this one, so here you go. This week's episode sees Sean and Sasha talk about some people who were leaders or who aspired to be leaders and terrible things that that they did or narrowly avoided. You know, how some real world leaders actually endure difficult things? Yeah, like that. But only sort of. Listen to them drink Saugatuck Brewing's Neapolitan Milk Stout as they struggle to connect these two events.
