Steve recaps his family golfing trip down to South Carolina. It's the cultural exchange that makes travel fun, right? Brandon rented a BIG OLE TRUCK and did some man-work. Warriors of the Wasteland: Nuclear war has destroyed society. We're left with two groups of people. One group of good guys who think humanity can be salvaged with niceness, and another one that thinks anyone who survived the apocalypse should be hunted down and killed and then the hunters will off themselves, for some reason. Then there's a lone-wolf guy who travels around the desert doing the right thing. The guy gets stuck between the two groups when he tries to save some lady. Have you heard this plot line before? Warriors of the Wasteland final grade: Steve: A fun movie to watch. Plenty of cool explosions. You notice a lot of the director's Spaghetti Western background. 4.024/5.0Brandon: One of, if not the best 80s-era post-apocalyptic desert movie. My pulse pounded. My heart raced.

Text comments and questions here!If you've been feeling a little overwhelmed lately, you aren't alone. Me too! It's made it a bit challenging to answer simple questions like, "How are you?" Perhaps, like me, you need a reminder that there is always something to celebrate even when times are difficult. I know. I've faced a few difficulties, including a foot injury, during the past few weeks. It's been hard to feel free when walking is a struggle. Nevertheless, I found humor in this unexpected experience. I hope you can laugh along with me.!Laughing Matters features the end-of-the-month highlights and includes four segments: celebrations, libation of the month, rants, and questions and answers. Celebrations are about intentionally forming a habit of noticing and acknowledging the good in you, in your life, and in your sphere of influence. Libation of the month is based on whatever I fancy or feel inspired by at the time. I share step-by-step instructions and you can mix right along with me. Rants or stories are about anything I find funny and want to share. Ask me a question.

It's season 5 of Giants Cocktails. Our veteran podcasters throw a new coat of paint while they breakdown the Opening Day roster and make full season predictions. Will a Giant hit 30 home runs? Will Ramos & Fitzgerald regress to the mean? Will Matthew predict 90 wins again? Can Ben hold his "positivity" for one more episode? (Yes!, No!, 90? Try 100!, Of course not.)Our new cocktail podcast The Perfect Sip is on hiatus. But new episodes are in production.

A follow-up to last week's Hockey Update. Not all the news is good. This week's movie is based on a true story, a first for this podcast. As such, Steve dives into the real history of Alfred (Alferd) Packer.Cannibal! The Musical: A musical bit of fan fic surrounding the real life "adventures" of Alfred Packer, a 19th Century American who served in the Civil War, became a wilderness guide and gold miner, then ate a bunch of guys. That escalated quickly, huh? The movie might just be a vehicle to mock a woman Trey Parker was in a relationship with at one time, as her namesake in the movie is Packer's fictional horse, Lianne, aka The Horse Who Would Let Anybody Ride Her. He may have made this entire movie just to talk about her.Yor, The Movie with the Wordy Title final grade: Steve: It was entertaining. If you're a fan of South Park or Team America: World Police, you'll like this as a kind of origin story for Trey and Matt. Their restaurant doesn't have very good food, FYI. The local twist of this movie makes it interesting to us. 2.75/5.0Brandon: This one was a little shpadoinkle, but not all the way shpadoinkle. You could see bits and pieces of things that would later become the kind of humor that would make these guys boatloads of cash with South Park and other stuff. 2.5/5.0Cocktail of the Week:The Cannibal Reviver1 oz Gin1/2 oz Lemon Juice1/2 oz Yellow Chartreuse or Genepy de Chamois1/2 oz Dolin Sweet White VermouthPeychaud BittersCombine everything in a cocktail shaker. Shake to combine and chill, then strain into a rocks glass over ice. Garnish with a lemon wedge/wheel. Cocktail Grade: Maybe it's the fact that we're not popping the $80 for a bottle of Chartreuse, and the Genepy stuff messes it up, but this one was just OK. A bit of an anise flavor that will turn off black licorice haters. Better than ChatGPT creations, at least. 2.0/5.0------------------Contact us with feedback or cocktail/movie recommendations to:boozeandbmovies@gmail.comX: @boozeandbmoviesInstagram: @boozeandbmoviesThreads: @boozeandbmovieswww.facebook.com/boozeandbmovies

The last Bay Bridge Series has been won. Will anyone miss it? More importantly will the Giants miss the playoffs? Our A's haters discuss the legacy of the Giants-Athletics rivalry and what the A's moving will mean for the Giants. They also try to keep hope alive by breaking down how the Giants can definitely still make the playoffs.On the cocktail side of things Ben is drinking a Blabbey while Matthew is drinking a Verdant Whisper.Blabbey2 oz Gin1 oz Lillet Rose1 oz Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice1 dash Angostura bitters2 brandied cherries and one Clementine segment for garnishCombine the gin, Lillet Rose, and orange juice in a shaker with ice.

Get in winners, we're taking this bandwagon to the playoffs! Right? Our bandwagon dwellers discuss how the Giants have been demolishing cupcake teams like Matthew gobbles Luxardo Cherries. Then Ben gets a little rabid discussing the demotion of Camilo Doval. Finally the boys ponder the obvious difference of opinions between Melvin and Zaidi.

Wow, it feels good to win. Even if it is against the Rockies. But it begs the question: Buy or sell at the trade deadline? The boys take sides and argue for their position.

1-2 against the Rockies: Is it time to burn it all down? Our pyrologists discuss the rumors that Farhan Zaidi must make the playoffs to keep his job. Is this true and how does it impact the trade deadline? Speaking of trades is Mike Yastrzemski the most likely player to be moved? If the Giants sell is Camilo Doval all but gone?

Our accidental theme this week is Dogs and Meats. Our first story includes an "expert" on dogs' olfactory senses and their ability to sniff out zombies. Our second story is about meat-based vending machines in Germany and Singapore (thanks, COVID!). Then, we continue with a story about contraband bologna brought into the US from Mexico. Tom discloses another art story. This time it's about a very pretentious artist who believes highly in the magic of . . . gold. We then detour and talk about what profession Tom will take up during the apocalypse. We meet a "Mother of the Year" who told her kids to stay in the basement and "Just eat candy," while she vacationed in Florida.  Our last story involves a showdown over steak at The Golden Corral.

Class is now in session. This episode is exactly what you would expect. Meli and Phoenix are taking us all back to school with some of their favorites.  Did they involve teachers? Students? Some sort of Faculty? A campus of sorts?

This year. This fucking year. I think it’s safe to say, dear listeners, that we all have some version of this same refrain. You lost your job? Cool one of us did too. You haven’t seen your family in more than 6 months? Yep, that’s going on this way as well. You lost a parent, a friend, a family member or loved one? You bet your sweet as we know how that feels. So what does one do when this garbage pile of a year just keeps getting shittier?! You drink and you laugh, that’s what you do. Welcome in to episode 63 where we tip our glasses to a friend of the pod who passed on this last week and where we generally have a difficult time getting out of our feelings. This week in review brings listeners the good (Claire’s son started loving the pool and Fran is trying to find silver linings) and the bad (the death of a friend, the state of the country and the loss of a job). News of the week is a roller coaster of sadness (so many celebrity deaths) and joy (claire and fran have designs to rent themselves a concert tour bus) Advice comes to us from a gal who does not feel comfortable attending her friends plantation wedding in the south (news flash, this is such an ignorant racist thing to do- stop with the plantation weddings). The ladies are continuing to share shit they like (More food and more video content). Lastly, this weeks hater is brought to you by Ted Cruz. ‘Nuff said there.Brian Anderson’s Baltimore Zoo1/2 oz Gin1/2 oz Vodka1/2 oz Rum1/2 oz Triple sec1/2 oz Peach liqueur1/2 oz Amaretto2 oz Gatorade fruit punch1 oz Grenadine 1 splash BeerDid you enjoy the shows intro song?
