Cave of Thrones S8Ep6Pt3: A Westerosi Town Council Meeting

Welcome back to "Cave of Thrones!!!" You're in the Endgame now, kids. Well, almost. More like an hour plus long show only to advance the episode another six minutes. Whatever, the guys talk a lot. Like that's news to you.

In this episode, CraigMakk completely loses control over the beer in the ManCave; Serious Jest accidentally shares his deep love for queen-style necrophilia; and special guest (former) Intern Wacker is absolutely certain that Drogan ate his Mom as soon as he left the castle. Plus, get ready to learn whether or not dragons truly understand symbolism; figure out how much B&W needed "dat Star Wars money;" gain a deeper understanding of how to tell epic storytelling time jumps via scraggly beards; debate how easy it is for anyone to get into a Westerosi Town Council Meeting these days; and much, much more. At least there are all these killer beers to ease you into the oblivion of your post-Thrones life. Well, almost all of them are killer. Damn you, Wacker. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Cave of Thrones!!!"

Beer(s) of the Show: 

Six Point Citrus Jammer Gose

Adroit Theory Morpheus Hazy Imperial IPA (courtesy of Tavour)

Lagunitas IPA 

Special Guest Beer courtesy of (former) Intern Wacker

Welcome back to "Cave of Thrones!!!" Shit is about to go down, and the dragon is about to get pissed. No, that's not a sexual euphemism, you sicko.

In this episode, CraigMakk learns that he's basically just a taller Tyrion; Serious Jest explains how he releases tension at a funeral in the most uncomfortable way possible (for everyone else); you'll learn a ton about the Dany-Hitler-Castro triangle defense of tyrants; Tyrion welcomes himself back to the ManCave in epic fashion; the guys write a best-selling book called, "How to Get Your Friends and Family to Give You Permission to Kill Your Queen Without Knowing Their Knowledge in 10 Easy Steps;" you'll get schooled on how dragons are really the O.G dolphins of Westeros; get ready to dig deep into how Thrones pulled all its most emotional material from "The Lion King;" uncover the true behind the scenes horror of how the guys reward one another for insightful podcast comments; learn why the guys should never, ever let Jim Sardonic moderate the show again (spoiler alert: he'll be back anyway); and much, much more. Yup, there's a helluva lot going on in this episode. Thank the Seven for the solid beers they drink to get through the heavy shit.

Cave of Thrones!!! S8Ep5 Part One: 99 Problems...

Welcome back to "Cave of Thrones!!!" Some pretty insane stuff is about to go down. Dating in Westeros seems pretty intense, we're just sayin'. 

In this episode, CraigMakk talk about how war....war never changes (from Vietnam to King's Landing); Serious Jest takes another opportunity to spring Aubrey on an unsuspecting Makk; and both guys dig deep into the insensitivity that GRRM and the show runners just might have toward women and minorities; how The Carlton might look in 2019; how much betrayal is too much for a Queen of Dragons to handle; when keeping it real goes wrong for Varys; and much, much more. Plus they bring Jim Sardonic on to be a moderator and move things along, and he does a surprisingly good job. All this while drinking some astonishingly great beers. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Cave of Therap...I mean Thrones!!!"

Episode 28 Part Four: Round Four...FIGHT!!!

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Did you think the guys tend to agree on pretty much everything in previous episodes? Get ready to hear how wrong you really are...this is the episode where some Serious FuckShit happens.

In this episode, the guys make the decision to try to tackle some really really serious topics while being seriously inebriated...it's up to you to decide if they succeed. You'll definitely hear CraigMakk double down on his hatred of a pretty specific rapper in every aspect of his being; Serious Jest will show you why you really wouldn't like him when he's angry; and the guys will debate all types of popular topics such as R. Kelly the Monster; the Case of the Horrendous Nursing Home Guy; Drake the Fondler; the heart-breaking Jazmine Barnes case; Kevin "The Douchebag" Spacey's video; the uplifting updates to Cyntoia Brown's story; the awesomeness that is Emma Stone; and Ajit Pai Strikes Back. Oh, and they just continue in a downward spiral of drunkenness. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"
