Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" In this final installment of the spookiest episode of the year, the guys decide to talk about video games!! But they've been going at it for hours now, so get ready for some hardcore drunkenness.

They came, they saw, they kicked the internet's ass.

Episode 29 Part Six: Smoke 'Em If Ya Got 'Em

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" As this epic post-Halloween adventure continues, the boys find themselves lost in the weeds....sorry, that was terrible.

In this episode, CraigMakk comes clean on his weedless lifestyle; Serious Jest continue to taunt CraigMakk with "music that sucks in a way;" be prepared to learn a ton about the legalization of weed and what to look for when out looking to make a purchase; learn how cannabis providers are using terms to ruin your buzz; find out what the guys think about pop rap these days; and listen to the guys test one another's ability to remember and describe a beer while blindfolded. You may be surprised by the outcome. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Once these guys start drinking, it's time to be afraid....be very afraid.

Episode 29 Part Five: Always Room for One More Shots!

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" As this monstrous episode continues, you'll have an epic guest host to describe what happens when craft brewers and their fans stop being polite, and start getting real.

In this episode, CraigMakk describes his aspiration to eventually become Serious Jest 1.5: the upgraded model; Serious Jest explains why he has absolutely no time for "F*@k-
F!*k" games in his life these days; and the guys bring on Special Guest Host, More Shots (aka Mr. Michigan, aka Biltmore Schottenheimer, aka Shotzie, aka El Shotzarino, aka Jedi Master Moradine Shotsoodoo) to talk about how craft beer drinkers project their personal issues on the craft brew community, often for the worse; you'll also hear a professor-level deep dive into Founders' recent legal and social issues; a legitimate debate about the importance of social media (both positively and negatively) regarding craft brewers; and learn which breweries you should stay away from, lest you be deemed a horrible, terrible racist by all your pretentious beer snob friends. And all this while sipping a mixed drink?! What the hell is happening to these guys? So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Because no matter who wins this argument, we lose.

Mixed Drink of the Show:

Episode 29 Part Four: SAY WORD?!?

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" As this episode continues, the penalty beer makes it's triumphant return again, and no matter who wins, we all lose. God damn, that shit is terrible.

In this episode, CraigMakk cements his future second career in complex beer naming; Serious Jest confronts the dangers of chasing euphoria through the use of Carolina Reaper (it may be time for an intervention); you'll also get to listen to the guys workshop a brand new game, live on the air (as all professional podcasters do); learn how definitively NOT to say "Say Word!" around Serious Jest; come to the realization that more often than not, truth is stranger than fiction (at least in the ManCave); and uncover some absolutely tremendous beers, both in taste and in name. So sit back, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Because on the Internet, no one can hear you scream.

Episode 29 Part Three: Bane of our Existence

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" In part three of this spooooooky Halloween celebration episode, a game of Clue takes place. Unfortunately, Serious Jest was killed with the Ghost Pepper Sauce in the ManCave.

In this episode, CraigMakk markets his brand new "I'm not the Big Dick on the Podcast anymore!" t-shirt; Serious Jest finally reaches true douchebag, I mean connoisseur, status in the world of hot sauces; and both guys gleefully celebrate the rise and fall of a certain couple of showrunners. You also listen while they nerd out about the multiverse of Spider-Man; shudder with fear with the knowledge that Amazon has the quality of your local crappy Farmer's Market; hear all about how Joker dropped the crowbar on Deadpool; and much, much more, all while drinking some quality beers. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Just don't look behind you!

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" This is a very special and SPOOOOOOOOKY Halloween episode, and the guys find a reason to play a bunch of drinking games. And none of those reasons are crippling alcoholism....we think.

In this episode, CraigMakk tries his hardest to move the show along in the face of the natural disaster that is his co-host; Serious Jest doubles down on spooking his co-host out; and both guys compose a spoken love letter to their favorite Halloween company of all time, Tavour! Get ready to learn all about some crazy beers you've probably never tried, all while the guys celebrate Halloween in a way that only the ManCave can do.
