Peanut Bitter


Listen Later

It’s a roller coaster of an episode as Greg and Josh start with a disappointing Peanut Butter Milk Stout before redeeming themselves with a solid Brown Ale from Bluewood Brewing. Josh shares the baffling saga of a tenant who ghosted and left a fully furnished apartment behind, while Greg troubleshoots a misfiring truck and celebrates a sudden view spike on his “Half-Assed TV” channel. The nostalgia hits hard with a look back at collecting Kool-Aid points for “Wacky Warehouse” prizes, followed by a spicy taste test of Chili Chews and a vertigo-inducing chat about free-solo skyscraper climbers.
