With Howard Blues making an "Irish goodbye" to nurse a fever, the rest of the crew kicks into high gear for a marathon session of Beer, Blues, and BS! From the "ocean spray" saltiness of Talisker 10-Year Scotch to a deep dive into the Bismarck Burger Slam, this episode is a feast for the senses. We’re breaking down the best (and most "basic") burger entries in town, debating whether cilantro actually tastes like soap, and mourning the loss of a bison burger because the restaurant was literally empty.

Plus, we head to the desert for a Las Vegas travel guide: learn how to dodge those $50 resort fees, where to find the best all-you-can-eat lobster, and why you should never pass up "dangerous" 8.5% ABV guava cider.

From the "Living Embodiment of Charlie Brown" to a quest to "beat the Google," Episode 248 is a wild ride through sickness, scotch, and Sci-Fi mishaps!

The crew is battling the "crud" this week, with Howard Blues powering through a fever and Rudeboy Kyle recovering with a strategic mix of electrolytes and Sam’s Club bourbon. Meanwhile, Brother Niko breaks down the frustrating saga of a misspelled Star Trek model, and Mark Kidder gives us the cold, hard truth about shipped frozen deep-dish pizza.

Whether you're here for the 4.1-rated Straw Gator, the heated debate over Chicago’s best pizza (Lou Malnati’s vs. Giordano's), or just want to hear the team plead with the world to wash their hands—this episode has it all.

Episode 247 brings the heat—and the cold! While the host might be "very much drunk" by the end, we’ve got a massive show filled with breaking news, simulator gameplay, and the long-awaited origin story of Howard’s Hannah Montana incident.

In this episode, we tackle some heavy-hitting headlines:

• The Menards Lawsuit: We break down the $4.25 million settlement over those famous 11% rebates. Is it a discount or a deceptive practice?

• The "Baldness" Ruling: A British court has ruled that calling a man "bald" can be sexual harassment. Howard and Mark discuss what this means for their own workplace banter.

• Snow Plow Simulator Access: Mark Kidder gets exclusive developer access to a new simulator!

The Main Event: Howard finally spills the beans on the "Hannah Montana Story." It’s a wild tale involving a stressful portfolio review, being falsely labeled a racist at UND, and a post-exam drinking session that led to a very unexpected TV binge. This leads to a deep dive into:

• The pressure of graduating in four years.

• Why most of us took much longer to finish our degrees.

• The "utility" of bachelor’s degrees in careers that have nothing to do with them.

Plus, we drink a beverage that is a bad idea for several reasons!
