    Kirk vs. Squarepants

    Get ready for one of the most unpredictable flavor gauntlets in Beer, Blues, and BS history! In Episode 268, the crew faces off against a lineup of beverages that pushes their taste buds to the absolute limit. We’re putting everything to the test—from a prebiotic cherry vanilla cola and a "positive energy" drink inspired by Bob Ross, to a high-stakes "Jackpot" flavor of Four Loko and a Mountain Dew "Dirty Cream Soda" that leaves the room completely divided. Beyond the beverage reviews, The Blues Blotter returns with an unforgettable look at early May local incidents. The police logs deliver pure gold this week, featuring a cowboy chasing a corgi, a muskrat taking over a local skate park, an ex-girlfriend's bizarre step-stool heist, and a pair of neighborhood dogs with a history of bunny trouble. Plus, the team pulls off a vital viral fact-check regarding a legendary Walmart manager hoax, tracks down the real-world utility wire theft wave, and breaks down the latest legal drama surrounding competitive eating icon Joey Chestnut ahead of the July 4th season. We also critique the military realism of Stargate SG1, review Guillermo del Toro's take on Frankenstein, and drop major release details for the upcoming Star Trek crossover hitting Magic: The Gathering. On Tap this Episode: Mark Kidder: Green Belt Blueberry Lager by August Schell Brewing. Derek Torgerson: A seasonal Shiner Mango Shandy and a New Glarus "Kid Kölsch". Curtis Jefferson: Bob Ross Blue Raspberry Energy Drink and Aloha Made Passion Orange. Big D: The mysterious "Jackpot" Four Loko. Jameson Seim: Prebiotic Cherry Vanilla Pepsi and a Mountain Dew "Dirty Cream Soda" experiment. Howard Blues: A clearance-rack Tropical Skittles Soda and a spicy dill pickle snack review.

    How A Museum Replica Got A Speeding Ticket

    Beam us up, because Episode 267 of Beer, Blues, and BS is diving straight into the deep end of sci-fi logic, weird automated glitches, and the changing world of live entertainment. We kick things off with a heavy-hitting Star Trek transporter debate before shifting to a bizarre real-world headline: a stationary museum replica in Illinois somehow triggered an automated speeding ticket from New York City. Over on the bar counter, the "What's on Tap" segment delivers a massive spectrum of scores. The crew navigates a gauntlet of everything from an 18-year-old aged spiced rum and Mango Chili Tepache to a heavily criticized IPA that earns one of the most uniquely creative "imaginary" ratings in show history. Plus, we tackle the massive price inflation hitting concert tours and sporting events—sparking a trip down memory lane about the old-school hacks we used as students to sneak into games for free. We also discuss YouTuber Geo Wizard's intense "straight-line missions" across the UK, pay tribute to a radio icon, and celebrate a huge milestone as one of our own prepares to head to Carnegie Hall! On Tap this Episode: Rudeboy Kyle: Premium Nicaraguan Spiced Rum & a crisp grapefruit mixer. Doc: Mango Chili Tepache & an surprisingly tart orange cream soda. Mark Kidder: New Belgium's New Zealand-style Pilsner. Big D: A blueberry lemonade vodka cocktail & a highly controversial Voodoo Ranger entry. Howard Blues: Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer & Strivy Protein Jerky.

    The Worst Snack in Triple B History

    From the deserts of Abu Dhabi to the missile silos of North Dakota, Episode 266 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a true global tour! This week, we celebrate the grand return of Big D after a multi-month hiatus. He drops in from Alabama to share his wild experiences surviving 120-degree heat in the UAE, the mind-bending vertigo of Dubai’s "Team Labs" art exhibit, and the precise art of repairing hand-painted Lord of the Rings miniatures that Howard smuggled across the Atlantic. The "What's on Tap" segment is an absolute gauntlet. While JS checks in exhausted from a New Jersey convention center with a top-tier Guinness, Doc risks it all on a lychee grass jelly drink that left a "never again" grass-like aftertaste. Howard Blues tests a cola-flavored iced tea from China and battles what he officially crowns the worst item ever consumed on the show. Plus, we celebrate the Avalanche playoff victory, map out a road trip to the Oscar Zero missile capsule 50 feet underground, and look through the April police archives in The Blues Blotter—where loose bulls and heifer standoffs are causing traffic jams in Montana. On Tap this Episode: JS: Guinness Extra Stout Mark Kidder: New Belgium’s Mountain Time Lager Rudeboy Kyle: Yuengling Traditional Lager Howard Blues: Chai Forest Carbonated Cola Iced Tea Doc: Chinchin Lychee Grass Jelly Drink Big D: Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPA   Recorded – 5.15.26 0:00 – Intro 2:57 – What’s on Tap? 24:38 – Catching Up With Big D 30:41 – The Worst Snack 36:49 – The Blues Blotter 48:48 – Helicopter Dedication 51:36 – Cave of Wonder Care Package 56:45 – Final Thoughts   https://streamlabs.com/beerbluesbs https://beerbluesbs.podbean.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@BeerBluesBS?sub_confirmation=1 https://open.spotify.com/show/1pnho1ZzuGgThbLpXbAs3t https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Unmhz98iRYU97l18uJp99 https://www.twitch.tv/tuez13 https://www.youtube.com/@HowardsCaveofWonder?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.twitch.tv/krdneyewitnessweathernow 2:49   #BeerBluesAndBs #Podcast #TripleBBSPodcast #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #BeerPodcast #Brews #Laughs #BrewsAndLaughs #podcast #tripleb #Comedy #Beer #Blues #Bs #IPA #CraftBeer #BeerBluesBS #CraftBeer #PodcastLife #BismarckND #VoodooRanger #Guinness #DubaiFrame #OscarZero #VeganJerkyFails #LordOfTheRings #AvalancheHockey #PoliceBlotter

    The Ultimate Blues Traveler Playlist

    Is the "Track Seven Theory" actually real? This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, we’re testing the legend that the seventh song on every album is the best one while building the Ultimate Blues Traveler Playlist. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the harmonica-shredding John Popper or only know the hits from the 90s, this deep dive is designed to get you ready for our upcoming concert trek in September. But before we hit the high notes, we’re navigating the low points of parenting and "medication-induced hallucinations." Howard Blues recounts a surreal night of falling asleep sitting up, while JS and Rudeboy Kyle trade strategies on blackout shades and the impossible 10-minute "sleep window" for toddlers. Plus, Doc shares the eerie experience of performing a live radio concert to an empty room, and we debate whether a $15 four-pack of lager is ever truly worth it. Inside this Episode: The Blues Traveler Deep Dive: From the "Bubbly Tornado" of their early days to the Grammy-nominated blues of 2021. Pickle Mania: The search for the perfect pickle beer and the "United Sodas" sour blueberry review. Garage Wisdom: JS’s ultimate "Dad Advice" on why you need to clean your garage floor (and how to fix your Wi-Fi). The Power of Hobbies: Doc and Rudeboy Kyle on why "giving up your passions" as an adult is a lie.

    Too Sweet!

    Toss your taste buds in the trash, because Episode 264 is a brutal gauntlet of "artificial" experiments! From Howard Blues struggling through a hickory-smoked vegan jerky that tasted like sweet leather to JS attempting a truly unholy "Guinness-on-Monster" float, this episode is a masterclass in what happens when curiosity goes wrong. The crew dives into some serious networking solutions for JS’s garage Wi-Fi "dead zone," while Mark Kidder enjoys a New Glarus Pilsner that earned a "smuggled" bonus point for its journey to the studio. We also get the lowdown on the Amberana Belgian Blonde Ale—a homebrew contest winner—and a "More S'mores" stout that was so bad it earned a "negative two-star" review from a special guest palate. Inside this Episode: The "Battle Van" Reveal: Check out the AI-generated "K9 Spa" van that looks more like a triangular spaceship. Soda Stress Test: Howard tackles a clearance-rack Skittles soda (1% juice, 99% Red 40). DIY Wisdom: Rudeboy Kyle shares tips on making your own jerky so you never have to eat "artisanal" soy strips again. Hobby Life: Barbed wire, ice cream dates, and teaching practical skills to the next generation.

    Why is Ludacris at a Country Music Fest?

    From high-speed highways to the halls of justice, Episode 263 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a cross-country journey through the strange and the sublime. While J.S. Gunslinger battles a 70-mile stretch to Sioux Falls fueled by melon-flavored Monster, the rest of the crew dives into a massive legal victory for home distillers and the landmark antitrust verdict against the Live Nation/Ticketmaster monopoly. The "What's on Tap" segment delivers a wild spectrum of ratings, featuring everything from a "sugary and delicious" Cayman Jack Margarita to a Pink Guava Cider that sadly fell flat. We also tackle the ultimate music festival "scam": a California country fest headlined by... Ludacris and Bush? Plus, we’ve got a deep dive into NHL Playoff pranks, Broadway ticket-buying hacks from Doc, and a hilarious trip through the Montana Police Blotter—where silly string attacks and 8:30 AM drug deals are just another day in the Flathead Valley. Inside this Episode: Jersey Foul: The Minnesota Wild's equipment department makes a "Wallstedt" spelling blunder. Music Genre Crisis: Why is Pitbull headlining a country festival? Broadway on a Budget: Doc shares the secrets of the TKTS booth in Times Square. National History Day: Howard Blues reports on the (refreshing) lack of AI in student projects.

    Is Marvel Dead?

    Is the superhero genre officially "over the hill"? This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, we’re diving into the Hollywood saturation crisis—debating whether Chris Pratt and Pedro Pascal are in too many projects and why the MCU feels like it’s stuck in a "Stephen Moffat-era" loop. But it’s not all movie rants! Rudeboy Kyle is officially turning 40 and planning a bucket-list trip to the Austrian F1 Grand Prix. We break down the logistics of traveling to Salzburg, the controversial "battery-engine" blend of modern racing, and why you should never leave Austria without a bag of Mozart chocolate (unless your dog eats it first). Plus, Mark Kidder gets emotional over the Artemis 2 moon launch, Howard Blues survives a "hop tea" that tasted like watery lawn clippings, and we discuss the proper vacuum power required for a zero-gravity toilet.
