This week, we're on location at Washington Brewers Fest. Held each year smack dab in the middle of Seattle Center, with dozens of Washington breweries and cideries, local food, and all the funk music you can handle.  We scoured the festival floor, found a few familiar faces, and made some new friends. The folks at Capitol Hill's Outer Planet Brewing joined us for a few minutes to talk about ownership changes, unique recipes, and their brewer's long history in the Washington beer scene.  Our best buddy Barry from Lucky Envelope hopped on to talk about their festival beers, including the amazing Karakuchi lager, currently taking Seattle by storm.  And finally, we were joined by Rob from Friends and Neighbors Brewing, who fills us in on all things Kingston and getting his start in Washington's incredibly welcoming beer world. If you missed the festival this year, tune in for the highlights. And be sure to catch us on our next festival field trip to Grainmaker in Spokane in August. Tap, tap, tap Alright, Grit & Grainers!

Stacy has been on the road a lot of late; first off to Cali to see her twenty-something son before going home to San Antonio for a quick trip. The visit with Charlie involved multiple trips to IKEA and a lot of resisting the urge to clean and organize. Two highlights were Stacy celebrating her 34th wedding anniversary with Pete and putting a foot in the ocean. Meanwhile Eric continues to have fun filling the gap in his mouth and is looking forward to pulling a Cindy Brady for his upcoming Battersea show at The Valley (June 20th) in Tacoma. Stacy's CBS (cultural blind spot) was watching Sunset Boulevard which made her favorite skit from The Carol Burnett Show, make SO MUCH more sense. It's a classic for a reason and the topic of our relationship between ego and mental health is still relevant today. Eric explored two sides of a coin, first watching Master and Commander of the Far Side of the World with Russell Crowe, followed by Kneecap, a movie about the Irish hip hop trio – yes, you read that correctly. He was a fan of both movies although hip hop as a genre still alludes him. What does the Good Housekeeping say about when to floss? What does Stacy's hubby do? Will they stay married as a result? How does Eric feel about night guards and addressing the reason behind his teeth grinding? Take a listen and learn!

In AI oops, Dodge briefly sells T-shirts featuring what appears to be a Toyota Tacoma.For all the things AI does well, it's also known to have its limitations.These limitations were recently on full display when Dodge RAM enthusiasts discovered what might be considered an odd handful of items on the brand's online merchandise store.Among the tumblers, coolers, hats and backpacks featuring the RAM logo, was a product dubbed “2026 RAM PATRIOTIC UNISEX T-SHIRT.” The patriotic part was a red, white and blue illustration of a rippling American flag and the RAM part was a graphic of a pickup truck with the words “RAM POWER” underneath.It didn't take web sleuths very long to point out a few unsettling details about this design, however. For one, the American flag featured just 38 stars and the RAM truck – well, it wasn't even a RAM.According to a report in Autopia, the truck's details suggest that it was, in fact, a competitor's vehicle – a Toyota Tacoma – from model year 2023, at that.It was this indefensible gaffe that led to speculation that the shirt – as well as a complementary banner on RAM's site that also featured the Tacoma – was a product of AI, and shortly after the web coverage, both offending products were removed.Motor1 underscored the punchline by pointing out that Stellantis had another AI swing and a miss back in March when the Dodge brand used its Instagram account to feature “throwback” photos of some of its old models. Unfortunately, it turned out the vehicles were AI-generated, meaning some of the featured models never, in fact, existed.Perhaps the takeaway here is that, if you're going to use AI to generate content or designs, make sure you keep enough humans around to check for slop, because anyone who works for Dodge probably could easily tell the difference between their own truck and a Toyota.As Autopia's report said, what this t-shirt featured was “definitely not a RAM, even if someone or some algorithm slapped a RAM badge on that distinctive Tacoma grille,” adding that RAM “should be embarrassed.”#Manufacturing, #ManufacturingNews, #Automotive, #AutomotiveNews, #RamTrucks, #DodgeRam, #ToyotaTacoma, #AI, #ArtificialIntelligence, #AIGeneratedContent, #Stellantis, #Technology, #DigitalMarketing, #TruckIndustry, #Automation

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: Country DayOne random shuffle lands on the last song on "We Are the Same," and the panel ends up arguing about Bob Rock, Canada Day, and whether Gord wrote a love letter to his producer.Episode Summary On this week's The Tragically Hip On Shuffle live stream, jD and the panel pull 'Country Day', the closing track from 2009's "We Are the Same," and dig into one of the most debated records in the catalogue. The conversation circles the Bob Rock production question first: the smooth backing vocals, the strings, the sense that the band got pushed to the edges of their own album. From there it opens up into three competing readings of the song itself. One hears a straight-up love story. One builds a detailed Indigenous and Canada Day interpretation, rooted in life beside the Alderville First Nation. One reads the whole thing as a coded note from Gord Downie to Bob Rock, threaded through to 'Something More' on "Lustre Parfait." Along the way the group gets into Gord's live vocal in the aired Artpark performance, the band's later run through "Now for Plan A" and "Man Machine Poem," and why a record some fans skip rewards the people who stay. It is a fan-first look at Tragically Hip song meanings, the kind of close listening this community does best. The episode closes with poll results, a spin for next week, and the full version of 'Last of the Unplugged Gems' on the way out.GuestsMike from Haslett, Michigan. A restaurant owner who found The Tragically Hip through a 1996 newspaper clipping his dad mailed him, started at "Day for Night," and has been to 20-plus shows. He hears 'Country Day' as a love song tied to meeting his wife.Jeff from Belleville, Ontario. Lives right beside the Alderville First Nation, which anchors his reading of the song's Indigenous and Canada Day threads. This is his second pass at a track from "We Are the Same" on the show.Greg from Tacoma, Washington. The panel's resident music guy and the one who sourced the live version aired on the episode. Calls "We Are the Same" his least favourite Hip record, then makes the case for why this song still kicks.Resources, Links, and References'Country Day' live, sourced by Greg from Tacoma: Artpark, Lewiston, New York, June 4, 2009. [add archive or source link]"Battle of the Nudes," Gord Downie solo record referenced on its anniversary. [add link]"Lustre Parfait," the Bob Rock and Gord Downie record, and the track 'Something More'. [add link]The band documentary referenced during the production discussion. [confirm title, add link]The MuchMusic and Strombo interview era discussed by Mike. [add link if available]The Tragically Hip Handbook, jD's lyric word-search tool. [confirm product name, add link]Source credit standards: Hipbase, HipMuseum, setlist.fm, The Tragically Hip Archive, This Is Our Life. [add the specific links used for this episode's facts]Calls to ActionWant a seat at the table?

The Nissan Xterra has been gone for years, but if the rumors and reports are true, its return could have a bigger impact on the overlanding world than most people realize. In this episode, I'm taking a deep dive into what a new Xterra could mean for overlanders, off-road enthusiasts, and anyone looking for an adventure-ready vehicle that doesn't cost a fortune.I'll talk about why the original Xterra became such a beloved platform, how the overlanding landscape has changed since it disappeared, and what Nissan would need to do to make the new version a serious contender against vehicles like the Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, Bronco, and Jeep Wrangler. We'll also discuss whether there's still room in today's market for a rugged, purpose-built SUV and why I think the return of the Xterra could be exactly what many outdoor enthusiasts have been waiting for.Whether you're a longtime Xterra fan, a Nissan Frontier owner, or just someone who loves talking about overlanding vehicles, this episode should spark some interesting discussion.What do you think?

The dream of light rail to Ballard just took a big hit. The Sound Transit Board voted last week on how to move forward with expanding the system and how to cover a $34 billion dollar budget shortfall over the next two decades. After a marathon voting session, the board moved forward with several major projects. Those include: finishing rail to Everett and Tacoma, building a West Seattle extension, adding a new station at Graham Street, and making a new line between Issaquah and Kirkland (though, the delivery target is now 2050). You may have heard the board did not, however, prioritize getting light rail to Ballard. Instead, under the new plan, the line will stop at Seattle Center.

They reflect back on their vocation stories and experience of Jesuit formation, and wrestle with some of the biggest questions surrounding priestly ordination. On this episode, Eric talks with Daniel Mascarenhas. Daniel is a Jesuit of the US West province. Originally from Goa, India, Daniel's Jesuit formation has brought him to the L'Arche community in Tacoma, WA, to Jesuit High School Sacramento and to St. Columbkille Parish in Brighton, MA, where he is finishing his time as a deacon. As you listen to Daniel's stories and reflections, we invite you to consider whether you or someone you know might be interested in discerning a call to Jesuit life. If so, head over to beajesuit.org.

5pm - John’s Signature Gathering Event … At the Coyote? // Some interesting stats on the initiative signers so far // Tacoma, West Seattle move forward with Light Rail, Ballard scaled back for now // JFK is born on this day in 1917 // LETTERS

On the latest episode, we cut through the fig leafs and happy talk from Sound Transit officials to lay bare the hardball political realities underlying their decision to kill the long-promised light line extension to Ballard, which has been left unfunded and postponed indefinitely. Who to blame? Erica says it is a systemic failure, pointing to ST's excessively slow, expensive, and politicized planning process, noting that it took approximately 30 years just to fund the relatively simple Graham Street Station. Sandeep argues that executives from Pierce and Snohomish County strategically outmaneuvered Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson and King County Executive Girmay Zahilay to get their priorities addressed, at Seattle's expense. This successful political power play ensured the Everett and Tacoma segments of the Sound Transit spine were fully funded while leaving the high-ridership Ballard extension dead in the water.Can some newly passed amendments promising to explore new approaches and find cost-saving measures somehow save the Ballard line? Or is this more political "bullshit" that will not address the agency's deeply flawed and entrenched status quo institutional culture or do anything significant to mitigate the multi-billion-dollar cost overruns plaguing Sound Transit projects? Neither Erica or Sandeep see much cause for optimism, though David suggests that will largely depends on whether the County Executive and Mayor follow through and turn the heat up on Sound Transit to deliver.   The discussion then shifts to the latest "defenestration” in Mayor Katie Wilson's office, with the forced resignation of her housing and homelessness advisor Jon Grant, the latest fallout from the breakdown in relations between the mayor's office and the Council. While critics on the right claim this is evidence of chaos at the top, we all give the mayor credit for demonstrating decisive—if "cold-blooded"—leadership by prioritizing her office's performance over personal loyalty as she moves to repair the seriously frayed relationships with councilmembers. And we suggest this is an indication of a shifting power balance within the mayor's office away from activist outsiders to more experienced city hands. Our editor is Quinn Waller.Send us a text!

*Spoilers throughout. You've been warned. Michael went to see The Mandalorian and Grogu as a lifelong Star Wars nerd and Pedro Pascal fan. He left thinking about wetland tipping points, cryosphere feedbacks, and sacrifice zones - which, for this show, tracks. This episode tours four planets as ecological field sites: a remote ice world doing load-bearing planetary work, a deliberately degraded Hutt swamp holding medicine in its margins, a neon urban underworld where ecology persists in the cracks, and a volcanic home in slow, hopeful succession. Along the way we meet characters, like Gatori, the bog-dwelling herbalist who heals Mando after a dragonsnake bite, and Grogu building a mud hut in the Nal Hutta swamp while his dad recovers is the most quietly profound act of restoration in the whole movie. We also get into who gets to decide what a landscape becomes, why the Outer Rim has always been the sacrifice zone regardless of who's running the Senate, and what the Star Wars universe has been teaching us about ecosystem health, justice, and recovery for fifty years. The hope in this film — like the hope in restoration work — lives not in institutions, but in relationships: between a Mandalorian and his foundling, between a people and their place, between pioneer species and bare rock that is slowly becoming soil. Star Wars Canon: Where to Learn More Most of the creature and character detail in this episode comes from Wookieepedia — the fan-maintained Star Wars wiki.

Happy Tuesday rockaholics! Steve and his family were Party Animals last weekend.

Scott from Portal Pros is back, and this time the conversation is all about Toyotas — because Portal Pros has been busy expanding well beyond Jeeps. Jimmy and Tyler catch up with Scott on everything that’s happened since his last appearance: Portal Pros installed their first set of portals on a Lexus GX470 (basically a bougie 4Runner with a DVD player and leather seats), stress-tested it at Holister Hills, broke a ring gear in Moab, got bailed out by the FJ Cruiser Facebook community the same night, and somehow drove the thing home. If you’re wondering how capable a portal-equipped Toyota can be on trails it has no business being on — this episode answers that question pretty thoroughly. From there, Scott digs into the numbers most people actually want to know: what does a portal build cost compared to a traditional suspension build on a Toyota? They run two comparisons — a mild build and an extreme build — and the results are more interesting than you’d expect. On the mild side, portals run about $3,000 more than a traditional lift kit setup, but you’re getting ground clearance, gear reduction, and the ability to transfer them to your next vehicle. On the extreme side — when you’re comparing portals to a full Marlin Crawler long travel kit plus a Dana 60 rear axle swap — portals actually come out around $6,000 cheaper. They also cover what Toyota applications are available now (4th and 5th gen 4Runner, 2nd and 3rd gen Tacoma, GX470, GX460), what’s coming soon (200 series Land Cruiser, Sequoia, 2nd gen Tundra), why Portal Pros is probably not making a Super Duty version anytime soon, and why Scott designed these things to be installed in your driveway and rebuilt on the trail. A good one if you’ve ever thought about portals and talked yourself out of it over the price.

Matt McCusker takes his shoes off for the first time to talk with Rick about Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast (MSSP), basketball, strong girls, and even other stuff. Don't believe me? Hahaha, okay.

Bill Lawrence (or as we like to call him, William Van Duzer Lawrence the 4th) isn't only the guy who gave Rick Glassman his first TV show job on the NBC show Undateable, he is also the creator of Scrubs, Cougar Town, Spin City, Ground Floor, Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Rooster. Perhaps he is most know as one of the writers on The Nanny or Boy Meets World.Point is, the guy win Emmys so STOP calling him William Van LOOZER Lawrence the 4th. Anyway, Bill takes his shoes off for the second time to talk with Rick about how Rick is one of the best actors he's every worked with and should be a romantic lead of all the stuff.

The Rizzuto Show is back with another completely normal and emotionally stable episode of your favorite daily comedy show, which means things immediately spiral into chaos before anyone finishes their coffee.Rizz kicks things off feeling invincible after a testosterone shot and approximately nine seconds of exercise, which somehow leads directly into one of the greatest public freakout videos we've seen in a while: a woman with tinnitus confronting a guy revving his matte black Corvette at a gas station… by kicking the car. Not yelling first. Not walking away. Straight to assaulting a $125,000 Corvette while repeatedly screaming “DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?” like an angry GPS system. The gang breaks down every second of the interaction, including the surprising Silverado reveal and why Corvette owners apparently all dress like retired dads at a county fair.Then Rafe officially enters his truck era after buying a Tacoma and discovering the true burden of pickup ownership: everyone now expects him to help move furniture forever. We hear all about his movers, his wildly generous tipping strategy, his battle with dryer cords, and why Facebook Marketplace nearly destroyed his sanity. Somehow bedding and duvet discussions sneak in there too because this daily comedy show never misses an opportunity to derail itself.Things get even stranger when Rafe explains the process of getting FBI fingerprinted at a UPS Store in order to continue his mission of legally entering Canada. Nothing says “secure government procedure” quite like giving your biometric identity next to a display of bubble mailers and packing peanuts. The crew debates whether Canada should trust him, whether UPS should have everyone's fingerprints, and whether any of this sounds remotely real.Then the episode takes a darker turn with a truly disturbing story involving body donation gone horribly wrong. A family believed their loved one's remains were being used for Alzheimer's research… only to discover the body had allegedly been sold to the military for explosive testing. The conversation becomes unexpectedly thoughtful, emotional, and existential before immediately swerving back into ridiculousness because emotional stability is not part of this program.Also in this episode:A pizza delivery driver allegedly trying to run over a customer over a missing tipA school resource officer losing a gun in a bathroomA daycare worker tattooing a toddlerBland Missouri's legendary “Half Ass Bar”Why side-by-sides are basically rural luxury vehiclesFuneral plans, body farms, and questionable life choicesIt's weird news, sarcastic commentary, St. Louis nonsense, and absolute nonsense from start to finish — exactly what you'd expect from a daily comedy show hosted by people who probably shouldn't be trusted with microphones this early in the morning.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
