Henry & Hops

The Final Episode of the Podcast (Part II) On this relaxed finale to the podcast, Hunter and Josh catalogue their top fives of the decade, including: Best Beers Best TV Shows Best Movies Best Games Best Music and Best Concerts Yea, it's long, but it's also the final one, so we hope you enjoy every minute of it (even the ones where Hunter is chewing). So kick back, grab a beer or two, and listen to the last Henry and Hops we'll ever do...for real this time. Recorded: 3/2/21

The Final Episode of the Podcast (Part I) In this energetic first half of the exciting *Two-Part* grand finale to the podcast, Hunter and Josh detail a decade of events in Beer, Politics, and their personal lives. You asked for it, and here it is. The second to the last episode of Henry and Hops...ever. Cheers! Recorded: 3/2/21

The Final Episode of the Quarantine Trilogy. In their most ambitious, positive, and uninformed conversation to date, Hunter and Josh attempt to predict how society will proceed in the face of adversity and adapt to our current health crisis. But it’s not all business, as they also talk about the Uncharted series, Hunter's nightmares, and why Shabbat feels more relevant than ever. Plus Hunter tries his Pliny clone, Josh gives a final (and spoiler heavy) review of the FF7 Remake, and you know it's funny but...there might be a twist at the end. So grab a beer (or two). Chill out, and listen to the last Henry and Hops episode we'll ever do...for now.

In Episode 2, Josh and Hunter attempt to address the economic complexities of our current situation while Hunter drinks a Heady Topper and Josh obsesses about the FF7 Remake. But does Hunter have any updates on his Pliny clone? Did Josh really make a reference to the OC? And why would Hunter’s wife care about his new roommate Steve?

It's been over three years since our last episode, but we've come out of retirement to discuss our current predicament. We missed listening to our voices, and we thought you might feel the same. So this is: “Henry And Hops: In Quarantine" In Episode 1, Josh and Hunter discuss what it's like to be quarantined on two different coasts of the country. They also talk about their mentality through the early days COVID-19 crisis, what kind of video games they've been playing to pass the time, and perhaps most importantly, what's going on with Hunter's chest freezer. But will the boys find enough focus to actually discuss the issues at hand? Grab yourself a cold one, and find out on this week's "Henry and Hops: In Quarantine"!

"Henry And Hops: Trump's America" Episode 3 brings you our annual New Years special. Like last year, Hunter and Josh go through their top 5 picks for music, movies, beer, and culture in 2016. They also add in some dark categories like top 5 political scandals and top 5 celebrity deaths (they'll explain). For the most part, Hunter refuses to put his picks into a top 5 format or even create a list in certain cases. But the conversation is robust, compelling, and ridiculous. It's a pretty laid back and comedic adventure compared to our recent entries. Grab a refreshing ale. Kick back, and enjoy!

"Henry And Hops: Trump's America" continues this week with Episode 2: "Immigration". After reviewing a few beers and briefly summarizing the podcast, Hunter and Josh (aka Juicebox) discuss historical immigration terminology and trends, and then jump into our ideas for the future. We also manage to pull off our first official interview, which gives our listeners some variety from our usual serving of "Liberal Male Pale Ale". It's a small step toward relevant content, but a giant leap for us. As Hunter says, "I hope these tapes serve as, if nothing else, documentation. And I'm getting very lofty here but...we're going to put them in a time capsule someday so the aliens can know that at least we tried...a little bit." Totally absurd. But hey, it's Trump's America now. Anything is possible. Believe! And Cheers. (Music by Kevin Macleod)

We have re-emerged from our creative lapse with our third evolution of the Henry and Hops podcast, now retitled: "Henry And Hops: Trump's America" Episode 1, quite obviously, focuses on the recent election and how it impacted our lives and the country as a whole. In this, Josh and Hunter discuss topics like Racism , Karl Rove's reaction, and how Trump's presidency effects US policy abroad. Some great quotes follow, including "We were all mislead by the pollsters and the media." (Josh) "He 'Trump' played the classic populist card" (Hunter), and "Racism has always been legal in this country" (Josh), while also including pithy sarcastic one-liners like "I don't think we have any listeners, so it's fine" (Hunter). Henry and Hops, while still uninformed, just got a whole lot more structured. Interviews and other truly informative things to come this year. Stay tuned. And drink good beer. You're going to need it. (Music by Kevin Macleod)

A quick, focused, and hyper Henry and Hops. When’s a better time to release a New Years Episode than at the beginning of summer? Still slightly relevant, Hunter and Josh discuss their top 5 picks for music, movies, beer, and culture in 2016. They also review the news of the year, mostly gun control, and talk about the upcoming presidential election. It’s a mini, but a good one, as both are extremely on topic and alert for this episode.

In continuing our process of unloading extremely old episodes, here is Part 2 of our description of Josh’s time in California. A meandering follow up to Hunter’s wedding episode, the guys spend a lot of time chatting about Marijuana legislation and Lagunitas and never really decide what this episode should be about. But there’s some great moments, including one of the best Henry and Hops quotes of all time, “Henry and Hops, bringing you up to the minute, thirty-plus days later, news…that may or may not be relevant to you and the impending doom of the country.” Enjoy!

Part 2 of our 3 Part Special Edition Henry and Hops Wedding Spectacular. Hunter and Josh recap Hunter’s wedding and tease a California trip (discussed in an episode to be released soon, don’t worry).Josh incorrectly bets on Rubio again, and both discuss political issues that are now irrelevant 6 months later.

Part 1 of our 3 Part Special Edition Henry and Hops Wedding Spectacular. Hunter and Josh sit down to discuss their trip to Peach Festival for Josh’s bachelor party. They shout friends like Gabe Derita and Matt Buddah. They also begun a long conversation about Lagunitas and Heinekin, which won’t end up until episode 12 or 13 (you’ll see…). They discuss another mass shooting, which is sad. But then end with things you shouldn’t say festivals, which is happy. So all around mixed bag. And there’s some pre-wedding jitters. You’ll hear.

Interrupting this month before the 20th, Henry and Hops bring you a Special Report on the 2016 Iowa Caucus. Besides a couple beer reviews, Hunter and Josh discuss the controversy revolving around the democratic party, and what the results means to the rest of the primaries. We also learn a new word, discuss the wedding, Hunter forgets the name of a beer representative, and Josh burps a lot (Durst style). Enjoy. Bye!

In a very lazy and extremely delayed episode, Hunter and Josh recount the history of their podcast from Evangelii Gaudium (which they still incorrectly call Evangii Gaudium)until now. Welcome to the Tenth Episode Spectacular! As they review beers and share updates on their various adventures, Josh uses the word "like" like WAY too much, Hunter loses energy as the conversation continues, and they both make erratic and irrational claims which now seem slightly immature in retrospect. But their Donald Trump analysis couldn't be more prescient. Enjoy reminiscing with your favorite duo as they continue their habit of talking over each other as they speak! Admit it. It's everything you could have hoped for. (Recorded 8/6/15) A MONTHLY podcast discussing topics related to politics, culture, and beer.

They relate the hardest parts of planning a wedding, what kind of beer they're thinking of for the reception, and whether or not an old school wedding is necessary in the modern day. Prepare for justifications as to why they're spending so much money on an event for themselves. Listen to Josh repeatedly say "antiquidated", instead of "antiquated", without correction or interruption. And expect an awesome special quote from Killer Mike on marriage and relationships. Also, there might be some beer reviews. All that and more on this week's Henry and Hops! (Recorded 7/20/15) A weekly podcast discussing topics related to politics, culture, and beer.

Part 2 of our Two Part Special on Campaign Finance Reform. In this week's episode, Hunter and Josh finish talking about Citizens United and how we can approach Campaign Finance Reform in the modern era. They laugh, they sing, and they despairingly bemoan their ability to find a real solution to the problem. But they do cover some hypothetical ideas, as well as the usual Bernie Sanders stuff, and randomly discuss the origins of Occupy Wall St and the Tea Party Movement. And as always there's beer reviews, commercials, puns, and Hunter trying to play a news clip into his microphone. It's everything you could ask for, and so much more.

Interrupting what should have been Part 2 of the discussion on Citizens United, Henry and Hops instead brings to you this Special Report on Gun Control. In light of the Charleston shooting, Hunter and Josh (aka Juicebox) discuss Twitter comments made by rapper Killer Mike, and what we could expect from Gun Control in the US. But while the episode ends with some rather somber stuff, the first half is all beer reviews, Bernie Sanders endorsements, and maybe even a commercial or two (as usual). But, as always, there are questions. Like, can Henry and Hops handle a topic this divisive? Will Hunter or Josh say anything offensive or insensitive? Was this Report a Terrible Idea to begin with? Seriously we don't know. You tell us. Cheers! Recorded (6/20/15) A weekly podcast discussing topics related to politics, culture, and beer.

Part 1 of our Two Part Special on Campaign Finance Reform. In this week's episode, Hunter and Josh begin talking about the history and legacy of Citizens United, the latest in a series of legislative actions related to campaign finance. They "basically" stay on topic, they're "basically" sober (they only drink coffee during this episode), and they're "basically" using the same words over and over again to talk about a really complex topic. But they actually uncover some pretty meaningful social commentary on a number of issues (including CFR), and manage to sneak in a couple clips of Bernie Sanders talking about things which are totally off-topic. And don't worry hop-heads, as always, there's some beer reviews. All in all, it's "basically" a good one. (Recorded 5/11/15) A weekly podcast discussing topics related to politics, culture, and beer.
