The Challenging Sophomore Album — Episode 2

Chris is sick, but we forged ahead anyway. Getting all caught up on stuff from the last episode, Chris and Mandie give the (now usual) nod to their friend Mark Zuckerberg, then get into it. Beer sales, growlers, how and why Chris hates social responsibility, why you should clean up your empties and gross stuff that has been found in bottles, what is “craft”, the Molson Indy is the Molson Indy again, more beer sales, and finally the Left Field road trip to buffalo this weekend, and Chris’ trip to Ontario’s Southwest.

By Way of Introduction — Episode 1

In today’s show, Chris and Mandie introduce themselves, talk about Mark Zuckerberg, Chris’ Californian beer tasting at Castro’s Lounge and Mandie’s trip to California, Mark and Mandie’s yet-to-be-picked Basset hound Wrigley and the terrors of hound-ownership, brewery pets, summer plans. Things get political then Chris gets giddy for numbers.
