This episode is part two of our interview with craft beer brewer and friend of the podcast Justin. Justin went to Rockingham Community College for their brewing, distillation, and fermentation program. Since then he has worked at various craft beer breweries in the North Carolina area. Luke joins in for this episode and the conversation centers around more beer questions as well as how the craft of beer relates to other craft worlds like music and coffee. Sorry no Joe again this week, we promise he’ll be back for next episode.

Although we don’t have a specific blog post for this episode, much of the conversation centered around the world of craft, which I wrote about in a previous blog post. Check it out here.

In this episode of the Thunk Tank Podcast, Johnny splinters off and sits down with jazz trumpeter and friend of the podcast Charlie Humphrey. They drink some delicious beer as usual and dive deep into the works of Dan Harmon, especially the shows Community and Rick and Morty. Dan Harmon’s writing, besides being hilarious, is often about deep topics such as death, nihilism, and finding meaning in life. If you’re already a fan of these shows then you should enjoy listening. And if you don’t know these amazing shows, then start watching them tonight please. Maybe this conversation will convince you to check them out. Hope you enjoy!

Well 2018 was a pretty weird year so there was way too much to talk about. We covered a range of 2018 topics including the creepy magic of Santa, the porn star banging by President Trump, and the possibility that our simulation overlords are turning up the weirdness just to mess with us.

We also talked about some of the weirdest news stories of 2018, including China’s plan to build an artificial moon (aka space mirror) and the discovery that crows sometimes try to mate with their dead friends. We hope you survived 2018, thanks for listening, and Happy New Year to all!!
