Welcome to lime-ville! Flex rolls in pre-buzzed and underfed, Greg’s deep into a hazy IPA, and the beer-fueled chaos kicks off from there. There’s a brutally honest review of a lime-flavored lager, a trip to the legendary Billy Goat Tavern, and some thoughts on just how far you should go for good tacos and fresh churros. Greg shares his plans to get classy wine drunk in Malibu, Flex defends his ridiculous beer choice, and somehow we end up talking family lineage, rude bartenders, and one man’s DUI with a blood alcohol level straight out of a horror movie.

Beers We’re Drinking

• Greg is drinking Voltron Volume Seven from 4 Hands Brewing—juicy, hazy, and a little tongue-coaty.
• Flex cracks open Leinie Lodge Lime by Leinenkugel’s—a limey lager that’s more summer lawnmower beer than craft cred.

Flex is buzzin’ after a couple of Leinies and recaps his trip to Chicago—complete with a melty ice cream museum, a free zoo, the biggest (and booziest) Starbucks, and an angry bartender at a legendary cheeseburger joint. Greg’s gearing up for a wine-soaked taco party in Malibu, and the guys debate chocolate ribbons vs chips, stress over Apple CarPlay shortcuts, and dig into Greg’s unexpectedly legal Mormon lineage.
