Eddie and Krystyna join the podcast to sample some delicious IPA's, play some of our classic segments and games and discuss live.  We lost track of time on this so I only mapped out the first half hour.

(:57-7:38) Eddie has a beautiful voice on this podcast and discusses his method of drinking water.  We have Mystic Voltage beer sitting at 7% ABV.  Krystyna gets introduced and I am not already sick of typing her name! (11:57-13:50) Who is the more handsome quarterback? (14:49-23:01) Eddie breaks down a lesbian television show called Casting.  Or Crashing, listening back I am not too sure.  Also, we get spooky with ghost stories. (25:00 - 33:56) Where were you on 9/11?  Bridgewater state campus layout issues and police.  Breakfast sandwich spots.

That's it, that is all I felt like mapping.  The other beers we had on the podcast were Nightshift Armarillo single hop India Pale Ale and Down the Road Beer Co. Dreamtime New England IPA.

The guys continue their annual Craftmas celebration of craft beer and Christmas.

MERRY CRAFTMAS EVERYBODY!

Jacob and James spent the first half catching up on James' Scotland travels.  Nick crashes the second half of the podcast.

The draft goes a little slower than they expected... Meaning it took over an hour to make the 2nd pick, which was traded twice.

JJ calls for directions because he wants to hang out and well... more on that later.

This three interview episode starts off with James, John and Jacob discussing Ray Allen's Facebook page over some hoppy brews.  The next section is Bill, Courtney and Jacob having beers at a famous spot, Wetherlanes, after a day of brewery hopping.  Lastly, we have the birth of "Can Oprah..." questions with Ali, Tara, Barbs and Jacob.

We stopped by Bentwater Brewery in Lynn, MA to talk shop. Salesman Ryan and #brewerswife (Priscilla) hung out with us to talk about Bentwater (founded in late 2015).  We drank their beers in their brewery while an open mic was going on.  We discussed the challenges of being a new brewery and how they formed.  Don't miss out on Ryan's Chili at the Salem Chili Fest on February 21st and look for Bentwater at the Boston Extreme Beer fest during Super Bowl weekend (first weekend in February).

After a glorious secret santa, the gang headed back to the beers and microphones. Here is where the legend of the 12 Days of Craftmas began...

Eddie and Dooley stop by with some Dorchester Brewing as Jacob shares some of his White Stout from Crooked Current.

They discuss the news with reading just the headlines. 

This leads to them getting political. 

Tara and Ali Drink The People's Pint, Halia and Brew Free or Die.  We discussed Tara's path to craft beer as she legit just got into the world of it.  We drink 21st Amendment's Brew Free or Die IPA and discussed Jacob's trip to San Francisco.  Next we opened up Goose Island's Halia 2016.  Goose Island is in Chicago, where Tara, Ali and Jacob took a trip to for a wedding. Lastly, they drink a local craft from Greenfield, MA called The People'e Pint.  

Election season is here and who better to discuss current issues than these lads?

We discussed William (Bill) Burke's campaigning and how to prepare for election day as a candidate. The gang got to play James's game: South African Politician or Hollywood Actor/Actress?

Good times indeed.

Oh and Halloween plans were made.

Mike came back from the Highland Games and tells us all about it.

We had great beers as always.  Started off with the Bog Iron Jump Back IPA. Follow thats up with a nice O'Hara stout and then capped it off with the smooth pilsner from Von Trapp Brewery.

My good friends Bill and Courtney stop by to discuss Courtney's 2008 best seller, Changed Through Blood. 

This was right after running the 0.0 K charity race for our good friends at Bog Iron.

An episode discussing America's most important teenage drama of our lifetime. 

If you've never seen the show, don't worry. The guys will break it all down for you and discuss the highs and lows of America's best drama. 

Jacob and James are back to recap the summer so far and discuss the end of the day over some beers at breakfast.

Dana Jay Bein stops by to discuss his comedy album Western Masochist (on itunes, spotify, etc) and his career.  The Jokester tells stories of his family and the time an Irishman refused to serve him Smithwick's. 

The first round was insane, many upsets, loud noises, so many people here voting and drinking.  However, we have to move on.  The second round was filled of some tough games but the voters spoke. A hoodwink happened after the podcast...voter fraud.

Jack D'or will be the only beer from Pretty Things that will be going with them. The Guys and Jess come up with theories on what they think may have happened and where they are going.

Don't worry, it's not a sad episode.  I believe the guys talked about masturbation during this episode.  

Jacob and a couple of friends have a conversation over Earth Eagle gruit after a long night of drinking.

They discussed the terrorism in France live, discussed spoiled brats and entitled shit heads and what they would have to do if the world was ending.

He looks at office chairs, politics, music, football and apartment searching. 

Beers:

The Beers:

Pretty Things Fringe

21st Amendment Toaster Pastry

Widmer Brothers BRRRBON 11'

I don't really remember much in this podcast like most times we record a second episode in a day but I am sure it was fun and we drank good beers.

Also, Jacob and James performed some stand up at an open mic and will most likely discuss this on a future episode.

The Beers

The Brown Note -An American Brown Ale (gross looking can which sold us)

Chimay - Grand Reserve Ale 

The annual Cape House week has come and gone but the memories will stay forever.

This episode was broken into parts.  The first part was Scott and I recording for a little bit.  The next segment was a very drunk group of Bob, Mike and I doing 5 minutes.  The next part is a Cano story from Matt and the last part is his ranting about the penile system.

Beers:

Anderson Valley Gose

Dogfish Head 90 minutes

Pabst Blue Ribbon

Boulevard Long Strange

Dogfish Head Etrusca

Cisco Whale's Tale Pale Ale

and a whole lot more.

I was lucky enough to be friends with Danny.  Danny won a free round of golf up in Maine. So what do logical people do? Take the day off work to go play golf in the  middle of the week and drink beers all day and night. 

We started with a Baxter variety twelve pack for the course.  We grabbed a couple Maine Beer Co IPA's at the bar waiting for our tee time.  

Then we jumped over to Novare Res, Portland, ME's best craft beer bar as voted by me.  I started out with the Jolly Pumpkin Oro de Calabaza.  AN entire 750ml to my face.  Next I had one of my favorites, a Saison Dupont before we ventured to another bar in hopes of running into ladies.

We went to Porthole's because it has a deck on the water. It wasn't bumping there but the wait staff was hot so it worked out.

I'd like to inform you of the next location but I do not remember it, all i remember is listening to a shitty cover band drinking Sam Summer's to ease into a light hangover for work the next day.

All in all, Maine is a cool place. 

I got a little too hammered on this episode.  I even forget which beer we had. This episode took place a few weeks ago but with the busy summer... it got posted now. 

Enjoy!

Well it only took 80 episodes.  I didn't get to record one this week due to lazy circumstances but I decided to head into the vault of podcast segments or shows that never made it to air.  Some for personal reasons and some for god awful reasons.  Anyways, here are three fun segments.  

The first one includes Allison and I shooting the shit about lazy people and the lack of desire to obtain knowledge.  This was a test of an iphone APP that will most likely change the game of our podcast. Good quality if you ask me.

The next episode includes our good friends Kevin and Eddie, this was record after episode Episode 51: The Guys Drink Whiskey On A Monday Night.  This episode was a shit show, hence having Whiskey on a Monday Night.  This part was after the show and we were discussing Eddie banging an older lady and somehow ended up running down the places I've lived.

The last episode is a nod to the boys.  Arguably the biggest shit show ever. This was with Ben, Mike and James.  We recorded this part after recording Episode 25 and Episode 27, which were at Mike's house during the summer.  We just got back from picking up pizza and you can tell how drunk we all were. 

*No one drove drunk, we had one of the guys sober girlfriend. 

The guys continue their summer rampage of drinking beers and doing drafts.  Kez makes another game that takes too long. Don't worry, he doesn't read this or listen back anyways.  The beers were good, the weather was great, the times were legend. The end. 

The big four are back for their annual summer podcast.  Summer beers and bikinis are in store.

James has ten reasons why Beers and Laughs is better than David Letterman's top 10.

The Beers:

Bog Iron Ryzing Son

Otter Creek Fresh Slice

The champion is revealed. The long tournament of 16 beers, 4 judges and a Saturday afternoon come to a close.

March Craftness started off with a bang.  Many upsets, many beers, and tons of pretzels.

THe guys did a responsible taste testing for this rigid tournament, pouring out 3 oz servings to ensure they taste everything each beers have to offer.

There were tons of tears, tons of smiles, a lot of blood, sweat, and more tears but most of all, it was good sportsmanship all around.

Part two of the episode with J from @2NOTbrokegirls who writes for a variety of funny and informative blogs and sites.

J and Jacob continue to break down the world of dating.  J's experience in sororities and still being connected to the college world through her sorority, helps bring light to many questions guys have for girls.  

The importance of responding on twitter to build a following is something not missed by J.  They discussed the good and bad of comments and tweets.

Lastly, they discuss douchebags and why girls date them. 

Jacob feels bad about the short episode this week so he records another one.

He brings in long time guest and family member, Allison to discuss the fucking snow, Parks and Rec, Sharknado 3, paying for Tinder and movies. 

They also remix a classic song.

Beers were drank and they had many loffs (laughs).

Haim Slides crew stops by to record a cross over podcast.  Probably the most important collaboration since The Jetsons and The Flintstones.

Ben and James enjoy some domestic lights while Jacob polishes off a bottle of Line 39 Pinot Noir like a classy motherf&$(#er.  

They talk more dating stories since Ben and James are out of the game.  

Unfortunately they recorded over two hours with us but we could only air this 30 minutes of material due to privacy, ridiculousness, and respect to the public. 

Jacob is joined by a very special guest, "J" from Total Sorority Move and Post Grad Problems. 

They discuss the art of sexting along with a guide of do's and don'ts for the players in the game. 

Things really get interesting when they discuss a famous scene from the TV show Louie in which Sarah Baker breaks down the girl's point of view in why guys don't like being seen with "fat" girls. 

This episode goes two hours so we break it down in two parts.  A lot of personal stories about love and life are shared as well as some laughs. 

 Jacob Rants About The Snow and Raves About NBA All Star Weekend.  He also answers a listeners email to answer some yahoo questions.

He breaks down all the crap going on in Boston and it's snow.  Jacob hurt his back while shoveling or something.

Stories and tales of their first Sam Adam's are swapped around a camp fire.  They also go into online dating problems.

Jacob and Allison take an adventure down to Atlanta to visit family, drink beer and take in some southern hospitality.

This episode got cut short because the little minions decided to attack us during the podcast.  No one was hurt during the hour long scuffle. 

So we treat you to a short pod after of Allison expressing her love for Jared Leto and Jacob interviewing her on the subject.

They discussed how to make it in comedy, performing in jewish temples and the importance of an AOL screenname.

Notch Left of the Dial

North Coast Old No. 38 Stout

Jacob and James take an adventure all the way to RHODE ISLAND! They meet with Jim Crooks and PJ to discuss what the word Narragansett means. 

Narrgansett is celebrating it's 125 year as a brewery.  The long rich history of Narragansett is what makes it such a unique brewey to the region. 

Jim shares a brand new beer that was being released that day, the Lovecraft Honey Ale.

They discuss the new brewery coming to Providence and Jacob throws some free ideas at Jim and PJ.  Ideas to upgrade the calendar and how to make a get away trip better.

Also text Gansettbeer to 22828 for a chance to win a spring training Red Sox trip.

Allson and Jenn join Jacob to discuss, debate and figure out the murder mystery podcast, Serial.  They all have different takes on various pieces of evidence.  We make asses out of ourselves by assuming.  If you haven't listened to Serial and don't want any spoilers, do not listen to this.

Oh, we had some beers too!

They only had two beers because they were drinking before hand. 

James tells the story of the silver can in the trash bin in the bathroom.

Jacob stops by Third Street Studios for their best quality episode ever.  The quality of the production that is, the episode stunk.  Don't listen to it anyway, we don't want you.  

See what we did there?

Third Street Studios is owned by Mike Rendini.  Jacob and Mike got drunk on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed the quality of a studio for the podcast.  Jacob is obsessed with Drake and Mike ponders what life would be like if sneezes smelled like farts. 

Beers:

Arrogant Bastard

Double Bastard

Bog Iron One Down

Mike and Allison join Jacob for a very special Halloween episode.  They drink some scary beers and watch one of their favorite scary flicks.

Allison hands out feet treats.

And Jacob doesn't shut up during the movie.

Beers were Ballast Point Dead Ringer, Ommagang Game of Thrones, and Green Flash Le Freak.

Jacob and James couldn't actually record a podcast together so they each did their own 30 minute episode to come up with this week's show for you.

Jacob discussed whatever he was looking at as he was not sober for this episode.  Spending the day at home on the couch motivated him to tell some random stories.

James was wanted dead or alive.  Preferrably alive.  So he gave us 30 minutes of him being alive and pondered what John Gruden would say.

Jacob is joined by Mike only.  They discuss Mitt Romney's dancing, Ludacris' album "Chicken and Beer" and how you can get halloween candy as an adult.

Mike discusses his recent trip to Vermont where he brought back some nifty gifties which supplied 90% of the beer for the podcast.  Switchback Brewing and Rock Art Brewing join a beer from Coronado to make this episode.

Live down the cape with about 10 people popping in and out of the podcast.  They try Mike's invention pickles & oreos while he talks about his favorite appliance, the Auto Blow 2.

Allison and Talita were on again but bailed for the hot tub. 

Eddie, Bob and Mike all joined in the second half.  This was a record for amount of reoccuring guests.

They played Greatest and Favorite. And drank tons of beers.

Including, the famous Heady Topper.

So we got a little too buzzed at the bar and hanging out back at the place before recording.  We had to drink waters for our health.

Have you ever eaten Eggos while playing with Legos? Do kids play with Legos?

We debated the punching ourselves in the head.

Or and we had steriod water.

The big four are back together for their quarterly podcast. They were bombarded with surprise advertising last minute.  

A whole range of beer came together on this lovely day. Even a test sample, not yet released Long Trail. 

We know people.

Enjoy!

Jacob and James take an adventure to Bog Iron brewing to hang with Brian, Matt (Maty?) and Frank

We learn about starting a brewery, how to make good beer and types of beers not to make. 

Allison and a new guest, Mike Rendini, joined for a few beers on a Tuesday.  Allison tells the story about getting her first dick pic and wishing it was an Elephant Seal's instead of a man's. 

Jacob has a mini interview with Mike Rendini, who is a producer, writer and composure of music.  Mike has a great range of music that you should probably check out: Mike's Website.

Allison busts out a new game, "Would an Elephant Seal do this?".  They are strange creatures to say the least.

The game of "Who's the Douche" returns.  

And lastyl, we had beers.  All based out of San Diego, from Allison's recent trip to the west coast. Rough Draft - 2nd Draft, Green Flash Hop Head Red and Coronado Idiot IPA.

Outro Song: Mike Rendini - California

Jacob and James join for a two man cast.  They bang out a quick episode before heading off to trivia at Cagney's.  They end up playing a new game, Pro, Anti or Matisyahu.

They debated the merits of water.  No one will ever turn you down if you ask for some water. If they do, just find a sink.

James breaks down seeing The Offspring, Bad Religion and Pennywise at the House of Blues.  Jacob also went to a concert.  He saw Horse the Band.

Farewell to trivia at Cagney's.

The youth is in a downfall and the Guys touch on the problems they face. 

A little family feud game is played.

Jacob and James debunk the myth that the guys are sexiest.  Despite recent internet and neighborhood complaints that the guys are sexiest, the take the time in this episode to prove you wrong.

Rob stops by to drop some knowledge early on before Mike can remind him that we haven't talked about dicks in 10 minutes.  Jess doesn't like hoppy beers but chugs them anyway and Allison discusses her potential restaurant, Buffalo Allison's. 

Besides the insanity that took place, the beer was unbelievable. 

They were blessed with the Baxter Tarnation, Lagunitas Imperial Red, Pretty Things Collaberation Naparbier and the Boulevard Love Child #4.  

A couple of games were played. We brought back Family Fued and introduced a new game.  Which band's lyrics are these?  

Don't forget to be on the look out for Buffalo Allison's and the new proposed item on the menu (thanks Rob!). 

In this episode, Jacob and James take time out to appreciate one of the best musical artists of all time, Bon Jovi.

We lived on a prayer and were wanted dead or alive. It's our lives, it's now or never.

This was sort of a tribute to Tico Torres.

Jacob, James and Mike adventure to a sacred and holy place, the North End of Boston to hang out with podcast favorite, Scotty Peppahs. You will actually find the origin of the nick name Peppahs and a woman told us to shut the fuck up. Apparently 9pm on a Friday night is quiet time in the city.

You will be introduced to the best game we've had on the show yet, South Africian Politician or Actor?

This was a rowdy one. We stopped mid podcast to pizza up and it went downhill for everyone after that. 

The Beers

Notch Hootenanny

Idle Hands D'aison

Ommegang Abbey Ale

Allagash Black

Jacob heads over to Eddie's house to hang out with Talita and Shandy's.  This episode was intended to have The Dolls on but they bailed so last minute arrangements are made.  

They started off with Rhode Island's very own Narragansett Del's Lemon Shandy. Followed by Shock Top Lemon Shandy in the tall boy cans.  Next we went with the Time Traveler to get a little strawberry flavor in the mix. And finally finished with a real beer, The Porch Rocker by Sam Adams.  All in all a good podcast and even funnier time after the show.

Talita may or may not have walked into the glass sliding door.  

Jacob and James are on location live in Norton/Mansfield for the Vans Warped Tour.  They did a 30 minute before the show and a 30 minute after the show podcast, melted them together to give the listener the best warped tour experience. 

They were surprised by the Boulevard Saison Brett making an appearance at 9:55 am on a Wednesday to start things off.  We were quickly followed by some Sam Adams Summers before heading to the show to crush Yuengling 16oz cans and play Guess Her Age at the good ole Warped Tour.  

Before stopping back at home, the guys snacked at Albertos for some local craft and half priced appetizers. 

Jacob may have lost his voice.

This is the second episode with Rob and Bob joining.  The Guys already tackled 3 beers prior to this episode so we hope you understand.  They started to break down how one could get AIDS, discuss the importance of komoda dragon's being far away, and Rob may or may not lick the blood beer we had off the side of the bottle. 

The Guys are back at it.  This time they were joined by Wombat Moongrass (or Bob) and Jacob's roommate Rob who knows way more about beer than we do.  We pick Rob's brain and learn something or two.  We discussed the merit's of street ball compared to real basketball.  We even took a few moments to take a quiz about World Cup soccer to see which American's know their favorite sport.

Summertime is here and so are the beers.  A little buzzed from pulling a double, the guys are off to a fast start in this episode.  They host a roast for the host with the least.  Jesse Ventura makes an appearance.  They debate South Shore, MA pizza joints which probably goes over the head of everyone not from Massachusetts.  Pizza, Beers, and jokes, what more do you need?

The Guys and a whole bunch of other guys meet up in Charleston, SC to celebrate Josh's engagement.  They bar hopped for a few days prior and decided to record this podcast at noon on a Sunday, after the craziest Saturday night ever.  Still drinks were had and laughs were plenty as these guys reminisce about the weekend thus far.

Oh, we thought we lost this podcast so being able to recover this has made everyone very grateful.  

The Beers:

Sweetwater 420 Extra Pale Ale

Shiner Ruby Redbird Grapefruit and Ginger

Terrapin Rye Pale Ale

The guys take part two to a dark and twisted side.  Allison and Mike stayed on again for the episode as they finished off 4 through 6 of the beers Mike brought.  We had Ommegang Red Ale... and two other ones that I forget right now because we got our Photographer too drunk to remember to take photos. Anyways, enjoy. 

Beers and Laughs is back! Allison and Mike join the show again. Jacob and James are thrilled to discuss babies, pooping, and not judging a beer on the first sip with these two esteemed guests. 

The Beers:

Jacob and James are having creatures with old friend and frequent guest, Mike.  The also play a "Who farted it?"  Don't miss out on this laugh-a-thon. 

Beers:

Southern Tier Goat Boy

Clown Shows Porcine Unidragon

and a beer I forget right meow.

The passion The Guys have for New Found Glory makes their lady counter parts jealous.  The guys will be drinking some local growlers while talking about New Found Glory over the years and what they mean to them.  Don't miss this special music themed episode of Beers and Laughs.

Jacob and James decide to toast the winners of the first ever, March Craftness tournament.  They were joined by Scotty Peppers (Peppahs for you Massholes) and Josh Levine as they tasted some of Boulevard's best beers.
