The Beer Engine
Every bar worth its salt has its regulars. Cheers had Cliff and Norm, Moe's had Barney and Homer and Lenny and Carl and the guy with the hat and the green vest and that one balding guy (?). Barstool Sports has that maniac who rates pizza and goes on alt-right tirades. Hey, but what if the regulars came to you and maybe the conversations were recorded? Maybe they talked about their beers, and they might have unusual hobbies or know too much about buying beer on the internet. Tony and Griff are the regulars at the bar chatting over a few cold ones about beer, or whatever else is going on. Belly up, crack open a Hamm's and feel free to eavesdrop on what these two drunks are going on about today.

Ope let me just cringe right past ya!

It’s a way of saying "oops" or expressing mild surprise or apology without much thought. For example, "Ope! Let me squeeze right past you!" ★ Support this podcast ★

The Fascist Bari Sax
A marching band baritone saxophone (bari sax) player typically has a distinct and memorable look due to the size of the instrument and the energy they bring. Here’s a description of their appearance: 1. **Instrument size**: The bari sax is one of the largest and heaviest instruments in the marching band, so the player is often seen with the sax draped over their shoulder with a neck strap or harness for support.

Had A Diarrhea

Don’t Call it %avern Style!!
Alright, let me unleash my fiery fury on this so-called Chicago style thin crust pizza. Where do I even begin? First off, thin crust should be crispy, delicate, and flavorful, not a sad excuse for cardboard with a smear of tomato sauce.
