  • Tonic...Tonic...Help Us God I EP 73

    The guys are back with another episode full of sports, stories, and plenty of laughs at Patrick's expense.

    We kick things off with Patrick and Dylan reliving their recent kickball showdown, including Patrick's unforgettable (and expensive) moment on the field that everyone else enjoyed far more than he did. From there, the conversation shifts to Father's Day as everyone shares the gifts they received and the celebrations with their families.

    On the sports side, we break down the USA Men's National Team advancing out of the World Cup group stage and preview their knockout round matchup against Bosnia and Herzegovina. We also give our thoughts on the recent NHL Draft before diving into the Brendan Sorsby saga. With the NFL deciding not to hold a supplemental draft in 2026, Sorsby is now set to sit out the entire season before becoming eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft. What does it mean for his future, and did the league make the right call?

    As always, the sports talk eventually gives way to more personal stories. Mike throws Patrick a complete curveball, leading to yet another hilarious "L" as Patrick reveals what happened to him earlier in the day before the car show he and Mike attended. We wrap things up with Todd looking for some advice as his home renovation continues and some major decorating decisions still need to be made.

  • Small Craft Advisory: Florida Ave Brewing "You're My Boy, Blue!"

    Grab your favorite stack of pancakes, because we’re diving into a total breakfast bomb on this week’s Small Craft Advisory beer review! 

    We are cracked open Florida Ave Brewing Company's legendary You’re My Boy, Blue! blueberry wheat ale—and spoiler alert: it’s an absolute home run from the first sniff to the last sip. Imagine a blueberry maple syrup flavor explosion that somehow still tastes exactly like a crisp, high-quality beer. We break down how they managed to balance that sweet pancake-house aroma without losing the classic wheat base.

    Is this the absolute best blueberry ale on the market? We compare it to the heavy hitters in the category to find out.

  • The Misiorowski Effect I EP 72

    Todd and Patrick finally pay the piper on this week's episode, and the visual payoffs are absolutely legendary. Todd joins the microphones rocking a beautifully detailed Florida Gators face paint job, while Patrick shows off the Vegas Golden Knights flag now permanently flying in front of his house.

    Once the debts are settled, the guys dive straight into a massive week in sports. We break down Team USA's opening game against Paraguay and expose what it is truly like to sit on a couch and watch soccer next to Patrick. The College World Series is officially underway, and the crew gives their official picks and team allegiances for the tournament. Game 6 is live while we record! Everyone except Mike is buzzing with excitement to see if the Carolina Hurricanes will hoist Lord Stanley tonight.

    Todd and Travis give a quick recap of their recent card show haul, followed by our unfiltered review and reaction to the brand-new Scary Movie.

  • Small Craft Advisory: Deep Brewing Sublime Keylime

    This week's Small Craft Advisory was a wild one as we went LIVE on TikTok to review Deep Brewing's Sublime Keylime Sour – Berliner Weisse, and let's just say... opinions were anything but unanimous.

    The big question of the night: How sour is too sour? For Travis, Todd, and Mike, this beer blasted right past that line. Between the... distinct aroma and an intensely tart flavor, this one was a tough sell. On the other hand, Patrick and Russell found plenty to enjoy, proving that every beer's taste is subjective.

    With scores ranging from surprisingly high to the lowest rating in Small Craft Advisory history, this review is one you won't want to miss. Whether you're a fan of puckering sours or can't stand them, this episode delivers plenty of laughs, spirited debate, and one of our most divisive beer reviews yet.

  • Deux Neuf, McNuggets I EP 71

    The fallout has begun... and Patrick isn't exactly looking forward to what's coming after the Avalanche vs. Golden Knights series. We break down everything that happened on the ice, the aftermath of the series, and why Patrick may be hearing about it for a while.

    From there, we trade hockey sticks for baseball bats as we dive into the NCAA Baseball Tournament. We talk about the teams we're keeping an eye on, why we're pulling for a few Cinderella stories, and what has made this year's tournament so much fun to watch.

    Todd also shares the tale of an unexpected visit from a door-to-door salesman, which naturally leads to Patrick asking all the questions. Russell is back from his two-week adventure through France and gives us the full recap—from the highlights to the memorable moments abroad.

    To wrap things up, Mike hosted a pool party before we hit the record button, and as you'd expect, things (and a few people) got a little sideways before the microphones were even on.

  • Small Craft Advisory: Lost Coast Brewery Blackberry Lager

    On this episode, the crew cracks open Lost Coast Brewery's Blackberry Lager, hoping to find another standout fruit beer after a recent blackberry brew left a lasting impression. Unfortunately, this one couldn't quite live up to the hype.

    From the first pour, the aroma had us optimistic with a sweet, inviting blackberry scent that hinted at big flavor. But once we took a sip, we were all left wanting more. While the beer was clean and easy to drink, the blackberry character never delivered the bold punch we expected, resulting in scores that reflected the missed opportunity.

    Was it a bad beer? Not at all. But when you put "blackberry" on the label, we expect that flavor to make itself known—and this lager just played it a little too safe.

    Listen in as we break down the aroma, appearance, flavor, mouthfeel, and overall drinkability to see where Lost Coast Brewery's Blackberry Lager landed on the Small Craft Advisory scoreboard.

  • Mike And Patrick Drop The Gloves I EP 70

    The guys kick off this episode with an unexpectedly serious conversation as Mike opens up about a situation at home involving his oldest son and asks the crew—and listeners—for some honest advice. It's a thoughtful start that quickly reminds everyone why this podcast is more than just laughs.

    Of course, the serious tone doesn't last long. The conversation shifts into the growing rivalry between Mike and Patrick as their teams square off in the Western Conference Final. Trash talk flies, bragging rights are on the line, and the guys make a wager that will definitely have consequences for whoever comes out on the losing end.

    Next up, the crew recaps Netflix's MVP Fight Night, breaking down the biggest moments, standout performances, and everything that had them talking long after the final bell.

    To close out the episode, Todd, Travis, and Patrick share their spoiler-free thoughts after catching the new Mortal Kombat movie in theaters. Was it a flawless victory or a total fatality? Tune in to find out!

  • Wagons East: Old Ohio & Some Vin Diesel-Looking Dude I EP 69

    This week’s episode is a SPECIAL one as Mike, Todd, and Travis hop in the time machine and take a trip back to their college days for an unforgettable recap of a legendary spring break adventure to Panama City Beach, Florida. The guys relive the chaos, questionable decisions, and hilarious memories from their early 20s — including the infamous “puking stores,” encounters with the unforgettable “Old Ohio,” a night at Club La Vela, and plenty more stories that somehow survived the test of time.

    Expect nonstop laughs, nostalgic stories, and the kind of tales that only come from broke college kids on spring break. If you’ve ever had a trip with your friends that still gets brought up years later, this episode is for you.

  • Small Craft Advisory: Destihl Brewery Oktoberfest Märzen

    Destihl Brewery steps into the spotlight on this episode of Small Craft Advisory as the crew cracks open their Oktoberfest Märzen for review. While there was nothing particularly wrong with this beer, it ultimately left the guys wanting a little more from the experience. The caramel and malt notes were definitely present, but beyond that, the flavor profile felt pretty limited. Words like “average” and “it’s fine” became common throughout the review, and the final scores reflected that overall feeling.

    This isn’t a bad beer by any means — it’s drinkable, smooth, and true to style — but most of the crew agreed it’s probably not one they’d actively seek out again. That said, Destihl Brewery still has everyone interested in trying more from their lineup in the future because there’s clearly potential there.

  • Is It A-chain, Achane, or E-tiene? I EP 68

    The NFL Draft is officially in the books, and we’re breaking down everything from the Saints’ picks to the biggest surprises from around the league — including the shocking selection of Ty Simpson by the LA Rams. We discuss what we liked, what confused us, and which teams may have crushed the draft weekend overall.

    We also touch on the latest MLB storylines, but the heart of this episode belongs to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Travis gets a little emotional as his Kings are eliminated by the Avalanche, while Patrick shares an interesting take on Colorado sweeping their way through the first round.

    Outside of sports, Travis recaps a recent concert experience with Todd, including seeing Louisiana favorites Better Than Ezra live. Patrick wraps up the show with a quick recap of another busy year working the Zurich Classic, along with some stories from tournament week.
