Jake wonders just who the hell Wrightsville Beach think they are to declare themselves the new arbiters of Pale Ale when he samples the Sun Days Wrightsville Beach Pale Ale by Flying Machine Brewing Company. John goes from high to low when he samples the Hi-Pitch Mosaic IPA by Hi-Wire Brewing. If you want to skip the beer, jump to 18:00 and head down to the shore.

    Who is George Soros?

    George Soros. The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Who the hell is he really? For Republicans he's the guy who bankrolls everyone from Antifa to BLM. For Democrats he's the guy who bankrolls a ton of their local political races. Where is the line of reality in all of this? Is he a blood eating demon or just a rich dude who sympathizes with the left? Crack open a cold one and dive in! But first, the beer! Jake headed down south a bit to Deep River Brewery where he picked up a mind-blowing Pickletown Lager. It's everything he hoped and dreamed for! John once again finds himself in Asheville where he cracks open a Hi-Wire Low Pitch Juicy! See what he thinks compared to the Juicyness. If you want to skip the beer, jump to 16:00 and find out the truth about ole baggy eyes Soros.

    Acetaminophen is Dangerous

    If you want to skip the beer, jump to 16:00 and learn all about how you can practice yourself from an accidental overdose. Billions of people around the globe take acetaminophen every week to feel relieve their aches and pains. But, what most of those people don't know is that acetaminophen is a very dangerous, and very available drug. Accidentally mixing with other drugs or a slight overdose could result in a very painful death. You'd think someone would've told the pharmaceutical companies by now ... right? But first, the beer! Jake took a stroll to Wilson, NC to visit Casita Brewing where he found an odd Double Bogey Dortmunder. It's a weird beer from a decent spot with a splash of history. John grabbed a Dogfish Head Sunday Feels which is an attempt to make a Voltron of brunch drinks and it just kind of turns into a citrusy free for all.
