  • Oh My (5) Stars!

    I know what you’re thinking. “Do we need more men talking about beer and sports?” The answer, unfortunately, is yes we do. This podcast has it all: humor, super cool guests, fun facts, and the occasional insult. What more could you want? Drink recommendations? Well, you got it! A+. Super fab. Not drab. Would listen again.

  • Great Listen!

    You would think my review would come off as biased. But for all those wives currently spending endless days and nights with their husbands during this quarantine, I bet they understand. I am married to one of these funny guys and I STILL listen in every week. They are that good!
