This week we are missing the Gun Nerd but joined by our former guest Nate Lugg to discuss what the heck is going on around here. We may not solve all the problems but we try to pull back the curtain on some of the insanity and inconsistencies many have come to accept.

Beer:

Punkin Ale by Dogfish Head

We discuss all the relevant, mind-blowing developments of the global panic surrounding COVID-19 and how we as believers and Americans should be responding. What are our children learning by how we are responding? There are too many questions and too little time.

Though our episodes have been spaced further out, we haven't given up. Join us as we tackle some of the very present issues facing us - even as we walk into the grocery store. We realize that we need to protect ourselves and those in our care as we raise the next generation - dangerously. 

Beer:

Dream POP! by Breakside Brewing

Caverns by Skookum Brewery

How did we go from COVID craziness to burning down buildings and calling for the defunding of police departments? We breakdown some of the game film and poke at the virtue signaling everyone feels obligated to bow to. Thankfully we have our local Russian insider to bring some clarity to this murky water.

Booze:

120 Minute IPA by Dogfish Head Brewery

Rye Bourbon from Bad Dog Distillery

Aside from a couple new libations we explore the grave error of allowing the world to redefine what it means to love our neighbor. We can't help but laugh at the very honest ramblings of Joe Biden defining black people as those who vote for him. We wrap up the show calling ourselves and all of you to not despise the day of small beginnings - whether that be businesses or children.

Whiskey - Small Batch Bourbon from J.P. Trodden Beer - Electric Citrus IPA from Bellevue Brewing Co

Josh and Ian provide a mid-COVID update including how the government is flexing its tyrannical muscles and people are pushing back. Besides hating tyranny, how about our own human nature? 

Beers:

Irresistible Bliss Strawberry Vanilla IPA by Silver City Brewery

Matryoshka Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout by Fort George

In the middle of the COVID shut down craziness we amazingly find the time to record another episode. We reflect on what type of things this trial is revealing in people and politicians - both positive and negative. The sunset provides a pleasant distraction and reminder of Who controls all things.

Hogus Maximus Triple IPA  by Postdoc Brewing

Yellow Belly Pastry Stout by Buxton Brewery and Ominpollo

How does the Soviet Union relate to COVID-19? Our Russian insider breaks it down for you on this fireside chat where we also get into what got us into this whole mess and how to get out. 

Beer:

Old Astoria from Fort George Brewery

Willetized Coffee Stout from Lagunitas

Guest appearance from Trader Joe's Tennessee Bourbon 

Covering a broad range of topics including politics and 2A rights, we attempt to pull back from the zoo that we see on CNN and ask how we should live in light of an unknown future and the perennial cries of looming doom.
