Episodes

Philly Bagels

September 20, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 64.5 MB

If you cut a hole in something does that make it a bagel?  If you swipe right does that make it a date?  If you stuff a Cheese It with cheese does that make it a pizza?  If you know a dog has had it good does that make it bad?  All the first world problems we answer this week.

Opening Day Block Party

September 12, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 75.3 MB

If this weeks episode was road trip it would have seen some serious $hit.  From Wrigley Field, to Tennessee, followed by a right turn at Area 51, to a BBQ in Australia, back home for a block party, and all in time to catch the games for NFL opening day.  Not too shabby of a journey.     Block Party..popcorn...bets on neighbors The bounce house Revenge of the nerds Wrigley field..trough...drunk chick The UT kid BBQ in the yard...Area 51 nerds

Sandlot Truck Repair

September 06, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 84 MB

We all have a lot of ideas, and some are better than others.  Spending too much on credit can be both good and bad, and often comes down to when you look at it.  Fixing a truck with a hard seltzer can may have actually been a good idea.  Booze balloons; I can't see how this is a good idea.  Bringing back the same DELI for a third round; damn right that was a good idea.  Trying to steal valor; never a good idea.

Fantasy Muder Rap

August 30, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 71 MB

A guy with a murder rap, a sandwich artist, a Fiata driver, and the Monopoly guy walk into a fantasy draft.  I really don't have to say more; the punchlines write themselves.  Cheers

Troy Gets a Lakehouse

August 23, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 77.3 MB

It has been a long time coming and one man's investment has finally paid off.  Another of us invested in tomatoes; that one was not as fruitful.  Natty light is investing in the seltzer craze, while PBR has gone another direction entirely.  We also learn of a way to make a quick monetary investment in pleasure, without a long term commitment, depending on what airport you fly into.  All the while another investment of the heart is coming to an end.          

Soggy Biscuit Dip

August 16, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 72.2 MB

Tubing is a great way to spend a summer afternoon, but packing the right provisions is a critical step.  You do it wrong and you might end up with a mouth full of nasty.  No we are not talking about hard seltzers, in fact they are finding their way into more and more coolers, and the big breweries are starting to take notice. 

We All Have a Price

August 08, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 85.2 MB

Emotions run hot this episode, and we don't all see eye to eye, while others are not seen at all.  A mystery listener makes their triumphant return, and word on the street is they were seen but we can't prove it. A fondue meal is had which makes half the room happy and half the room heated.  A visit is paid to a doctor, and we soon learn that someone else had already been in his ear.  Most surprising of all though was the realization that we all have a price, and one of ours is a meager $15....

Griswold Dreams

August 02, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 78.1 MB

Too often dreams don't live up to reality; this is the Griswold way.  This week we revisit the past and find ourselves in a car heading down the wrong road.  We come very close to realizing a dream only to discover that a one night stand was all that was in the cards.  And we find that a rented dream may be the way to go, but those results are still TBD.  

Lil Bagel Loaded Hamms

July 25, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 77.5 MB

A feeding frenzy by definition is when there is so much food that a group becomes aggressive in their pursuit of the food. This can be interpreted in a few ways, and this week we see many of them.  A baby vs a grown man duel to see who can eat more on a plane. A lil man fights everybody while surrounded by bagels. A bad beer gets filled with food and becomes wildly in demand. Vegetarian food is made...well no one went crazy over that.

Full Spectrum Folly

July 18, 2019 21:19 - 1 hour - 89.3 MB

This week we recorded in the Nectar Sunglasses warehouse outside of Charleston, SC.  We are joined by our favorite local artist and the creative talent behind Revelry Breweries famous can art, Chris Kemp, and Liam Becker Co-Founder of Apis Mercantile.  We also get a peek behind the scenes of the winding road that Sean of Nectar Sunglasses took to get to this point with the help of our old friend Keith. Cheers from Folly Beach. 

Flame of Thrones

July 11, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 74.5 MB

Despite the outcome of last weeks show we still managed to light some pretty good fireworks, at least until nature shut us down.  Netflix was also riding high last week, and now the anti smoking folks have decided to rain on their parade.  It seems like you can't win, well unless you are into video games, which that apparently will get you into the college of your choice.     

The Rivah Narc

July 04, 2019 15:45 - 1 hour - 75.3 MB

Happy Fourth of July!  Here's hoping you already bought your fireworks, because this week we unwittingly shut down the best fireworks stand around.  That doesn't mean you can't travel a little further than usual to still find the good stuff, so grab your Miata or Pogo Stick (If they haven't banned scooters where you are take one of those) and head towards the Rivah because we hear there may still be some to the East.  We even travel to Chicago for this week's DELI, and come back with some Tw...

The Return

June 27, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 83.6 MB

We are back at full strength this week, but not necessarily fully rested. Despite the sleep deprivation we cover a lot of ground between World Cup, Steph Curry, Summer Break, Flat Earth, Video Games, the importance of news and weather, and of course the lie that is disappearing ink.  Seriously that stuff doesn't even make stuff disappear.  Weak.   

After the Light Beer Showdown - What is Old is New Again

June 20, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 66.9 MB

We stuck around after the Light Beer Showdown and realize that what is old is new again.  Keep an eye on the grocery store shelves because old New Coke is about to be new again.  Old people chatting up others in fast food restaurants isn't anything new, but you sometimes should be weary of them.  Some of us are seeing signs of getting older just above our eyes; while others have been that way for years.  Getting old isn't really new, but when it happens to you it certainly seems that way. 

Light Beer Showdown

June 13, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 93.6 MB

This week we embark on a challenge over a year in the making.  For most of us it is simply trying to tell which light beer is the true king, but for one a larger challenge presented a shot at redemption.  We are also joined by Sean of Nectar Sunglasses to help usher in the summer.

Candle Bombs

June 06, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 80.4 MB

The landscape of what is legal and what is not seems to be ever changing these days.  Chicago just flipped the script on two major laws this week.  The existence of "Low T" means we can now bulk up without having to resort to finding the biggest guy in the gym and asking him for "advice".  Liverpool has won the Premier League Championship, and the match was disrupted by illegal activity, but we are all for this one.  Candles aren't legal, but when they look like a bomb you may have a problem...

Unexpected Guest

May 30, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 89.3 MB

This week we are running a two man show when out of nowhere we are joined by an unannounced and welcome old friend. In fact we may have even tried a beer that has been reviewed in the past as well, but we honestly cannot be certain. One thing we do know is which boner pill by mail company we are backing.           

Slighty Mighty Taco Hotel

May 23, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 78.7 MB

A classic story has a beginning, a middle, and an end.  Multiple stories that follow this approach can come together with the same results. A Prom-Posal can lead to a Taco Bell wedding, which then provides many years of anniversaries, and of course ends with you buried in the yard next to your dog.  Timeless. 

Mad Dog Tea

May 17, 2019 02:14 - 1 hour - 85.5 MB

Selling out is always bad right?  All that money, infrastructure, distribution, quality...how could that help your brewery?  We see a "sell-out" making good against the main stream competition this week.  An OG brewery joins with an East Coast favorite, and somehow found a way to slide into our D.E.L.I; twice.  Speaking of slides, they have a new one in Estepona that you should check out.

The White Sauce

May 09, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 83.9 MB

This is quite the mysterious episode.  Our guest remains behind a cloak of secrecy for most of the time, and we blow the top off of one of the most coveted secret recipes in the local Mexican food game. We try an Irish beer, but it is not the one we all know and love. Speaking of what we know and love, why are burgers going meatless, and what are they doing to bridge the gap.  We know the secret, and it has nothing to do with no soy soy sauce.        

The Train Train

May 02, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 85.9 MB

Helping your neighbor is beneficial to all parties involved, and this belief is generally accepted as truth. Some people though will actively take advantage of this kindness and make a nuisance of themselves. If Elon Musk has his way and Neuralink becomes a reality it may only be a matter of time before we can hack these societal outliers to fix their glitch.   

Social Auto

April 26, 2019 01:34 - 1 hour - 82.3 MB

This week we are visited by a life long entrepreneur and hear about his rise from video games in the garage to how he is changing the game in this gig economy.  It seems not all ideas fostered in the jungle are bad.  We also find the fine line between rap lyrics and beer.  

Lyft Rewards

April 19, 2019 02:37 - 1 hour - 77 MB

The Uber and Lyft battle continues to wage, and until one finds a way to differentiate themselves the first to market advantage will hold. We meet a driver who has an angle to change that. Phones add features to gain an advantage; even if those features may suck the life from your phone. Beers and cereal are merging to create buzz as well, and we taste one of the first to do it.   

Saved by the Dirt

April 12, 2019 16:16 - 1 hour - 81.1 MB

NetFlix is churning out a lot of movies these days, and while they aren't all great they can still provide entertainment if viewed through the right lens.  We have a pretty good example of this in the new Motley Crue "docudrama" they just released, we just aren't certain it serves as the cautionary tale that it should. Troy on the other hand is doing his part to keep us all safe here in VA, and we have a warning about a prescription drug that was a new one to us.          

B-Sides

April 04, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 73 MB

When you have been doing shows week in and week out you end up with many topics that go unvisited.  Most of the time these fall by the wayside, but this week we decided to give the list of unloved topics their time in the sun.  We tackle the B-Sides; with an A effort of course.

Dawson's Secret Creek

March 28, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 72.1 MB

A wager was made, and after many months a wager was lost.  A bad bet can make you want to break something, and these days they have a place where you can do that.  Of course there are other places you aren't allowed to do what you want, like when you want to fill up your own car in Jersey.  It could always be worse though, like if you had to make a decision for someone you haven't even met yet that will affect the rest of their lives.       

Dandelions VS All-Stars

March 22, 2019 03:06 - 1 hour - 84.8 MB

Is your child a dandelion or an all star? Would you even care what team they ended up on? Some sports dads would and I would be willing to bet those dads would not be a part of our new diet. We love a practical joke and pulling one on your wife can be pretty epic, but some times it could be a little too much. But once you end up in the dog house go ahead and try a Narragansett Lager from upstate NY. Will it win a DELI? The results may surprise you. Lastly, after you head out to RVA Brunch we...

Keto Crotch

March 14, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 100 MB

Often times when we make changes in our life we experience other changes that were unintended.  It is the old for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction theory.  Diets are great for the waistline, but can change other parts of your body. Whiskey tastings are great the night of, but can still limit your capabilities the next day. Going cashless can reduce the potential for crime, but also hurt your bottom line.  Florida opens pain management clinics all over the state and then y...

Memphis Ducks

March 08, 2019 14:56 - 1 hour - 81.9 MB

World famous is always a bit of a misnomer as very few of us in this world ever experience the same thing.  This is the case with the Peabody Ducks.  While few have seen them, those that have will remember it for sure.  More well known around the world is Bigfoot and Yeti, yet no one has seen these and we still want to believe.  Less world famous, but no less important are the daily heroes that walk among us.  We meet one in an airport who has no cape and is armed only with a beer.    

Blue Lights and Pajamas

February 28, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 69 MB

We started a little late this week, which is odd because we were making great time.  In some job interviews being late can't even be held against you even though it should.  Looking like a meth addict is typically held against you in those instances, though so some people have found an interesting loop hole to the dreaded meth teeth.  I'll give you a hint, it has nothing to do with drinking Rose'.    

Chuck E Cheese Hot

February 14, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 91.4 MB

This week we reminisce about some of the worst jobs we have ever had.  We discover a show that many of you will run out to see, and others will never take the time to watch.  And a familiar taste finds it way to our beer test, but does so in surprising fashion.   

The Cosby Show Part Deux

February 07, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 90.5 MB

The Super Bowl is behind us, and while it may not have been a great game it certainly gave us plenty to talk about.  Now that the biggest non pilgrim sanctioned food orgy of the year is behind us we thought it might be time to try some ultra light beers.  If that doesn't help us lose some weight we may need to talk to Dr Huxtable to get a professional opinion.  

The McVay Shepherd

January 31, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 95.3 MB

Beer distribution laws are quirky at best.  Not quirky like hiring a coach to pull another coach from the sidelines to avoid the ref.  Not even quirky like responding to a text message chain that obviously wasn't for you, and then going so far as to show up at the event the group was talking about.  More like quirky in the way they can force you to sign a life long contract and then screw people out of good beer quirky.            

EV's and Light IPA's

January 24, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 88 MB

The times they are a changing.  We take a look back and to the future of the electric vehicle.  IPA's are trying to tackle a new market and chip away at light beers, and Gillette jumps into the fray of "toxic masculinity" for better or worse.       

Sick with the Internet

January 17, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 77.7 MB

Sometimes when you rarely leave the house the stories come to you.  Listeners reach out for good and bad, music festivals show up at your door, and images of idiots missing kicks fill your feed.  All you need is a 27 pound bucket of mac and cheese, and you may never have to leave again.    

VR and a Redo

January 10, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 60.8 MB

This week we recap the NFL playoffs, one crazy ski trip, the Concorde, played quarters, and a lot more...then the entire board crapped out and we lost it all.  So we did what what we do best, said F it and popped a DELI, and recorded a new episode in stunning VR.

Holiday Drink Challenge III

January 03, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 88.6 MB

We are back for our 3rd Holiday Drink Challenge, and while the results were not official until after the vote at least one result was easy to predict.  Unknown to the crew we were locked in the Pallet House, but we finally did make it out to see the New Year and celebrate the winner.

Prelude to a Holiday Drink - Starring Pat

December 28, 2018 16:08 - 1 hour - 75.6 MB

For Christmas this year we focused on comfort in many different ways.  While the modes are diverse the area of focus is pretty precise.  Another Christmas miracle of sorts is realized when we are joined by Pat, and a story 4 years in the making comes full circle.

The $3,400 Man

December 20, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 69.1 MB

Some investments just make good sense, like those that can fix your hearing.  A $200 pair of crocs on the other hand could be deemed foolish, regardless of how much it looks like your sweet face tattoo.  A log that will make your house smell like fried chicken though is one we can all agree is a wise choice.        

The Adventures of Wooly Willy

December 13, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 78.2 MB

We recap our last night with our mustaches, but not before an unfortunate audible is called that almost derails the show.  A Cupcake Sommelier tries his best to discredit a mayonnaise stain, and the joy of Christmas lights is revisited with the results you would expect.  So sit back and enjoy the ride even if it is in the wrong direction.  

ITPH Best Of - The Answer

December 06, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 83.8 MB

This week we are joined by An Bui from The Answer Brewpub and Mekong restaurant.  When you have one of the most sought after beer lists in the country we come to you, and that is exactly what we did.  No Zima's were consumed, but An made sure that nobody was lacking for a great beer at anytime during our conversation.  Cheers!

Lasterday's Stache

November 29, 2018 15:30 - 1 hour - 77.9 MB

We are nearing the end of our mustache growing, but not before a few lessons were learned.  It turns out that there is motivator far greater than charity, and we witness its power first hand.  A DELI 4 months in the making is revealed, and the consequences of getting rear ended may not be fully realized for a few more months.  See you at the Bash.

Cracker Barrel Thanksgiving

November 22, 2018 14:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MB

It is that time of year that we stop to give thanks for the past year's bounty, and this week have plenty of to be thankful for.  The mustaches are coming in nicely, good news is overheard in the most random of places, the flu shots seem to be working on some level, and we get to spend some quality time with family and friends.       

Midnight Stache

November 15, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 83.6 MB

This week we visit the Midnight Brewery to compare mustaches, and are visited by our friend the Human Abacus.  We are reminded that Disney is one of the greatest places on earth (for most), and that a porto potty is often one of the worst places on earth (for most).  

Gingerbread Stache

November 08, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 82.2 MB

Gingerbread stout is here, and we take a look back 3 years in the making.  Our mustaches are not quite here yet, but they have us looking forward to the glory that is soon to be.  We are joined by this year's president of M4K Richmond to learn more about the reason for the season, and are reminded to mind what you eat.

My Heart Will Go On Mkay

November 01, 2018 13:39 - 1 hour - 79.4 MB

Reality TV has not gotten any better, but far too many of us are still watching.  Apparently underwear has gotten a lot better, but most of us are still rocking the old stuff.  Better glasses are almost always an upgrade, but if you don't remove the film on the lenses you will never see what is right in front of you.  Speaking of right in front of you; mustache season is here and a month of mustaches await.

Pairs Well With Ice Cream

October 25, 2018 15:00

Halloween is on the horizon which means far too much attention is being given to an outfit you will never wear again.  If you are lucky you will at least make some memories in that outfit, but this night is not always known for its "good" times.  Either way if you can find yourself a beer that pairs well with ice cream and candy the night should work itself out.

Halloween is on the horizon which means far too much attention is being given to an outfit you will never wear again.  If you are lucky you will at least make some memories in that outfit, but this night is not always known for its "good" times.  Either way if you can find yourself a beer that pairs well with ice cream and candy the night should work itself out.

Rick Stapleton's Shredded Banksy

October 19, 2018 01:30 - 1 hour - 76.6 MB

Some concerts are expensive on the front end, but others are more expensive on the way out.  Artwork is typically more expensive when pristine, but this week a trashed piece of art jumped in value.  Not everything has to add up, but if the stories make for a good episode then all is well.

Bird is the Word

October 11, 2018 15:00 - 1 hour - 82.1 MB

Electric rental scooters have been showing up in cities all around the country, and love em or hate em it appears they may be here to stay.  We learn a bit more about the Bird, and we also bear witness to a pretty sneaky way to create a hometeam sports fan.
