Episode 39 Part 1 – Our Rocks (aka Yep, We’re Drunk)

This very special episode is one half of a two hour conversation between Shaun and Mike, and their significant others, Kerry and Chan.
This is an alcohol-fueled stream-of-conscious conversation, and it’s weird. But maybe you’ll learn something about your slurring, mumbling, drunken hosts… Or maybe you’ll be left wondering how they ever got laid in the first place.

Check back next week for Part 2!

Episode 38 – Overrated Villains

This weeks episode is pretty much all news! We discuss a recent interview with Jessie Eisenberg about BvS while hitting upon some fun cast photos from the Suicide Squad.

WWE Summerslam! Stephen Amell wrestles!

The big piece is released Captain America: Civil War concept art showing who’s side each Avenger will be picking. Will it be Cap or Tony?

Beers

Portsmouth Brewery Le Chat Noir

Style: Dry Irish Stout
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glass and SmuttyNose snifter
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3/5
Notes: Not very flavorful, kind of got better as it warmed up but our hopes were very high and it sort of let us down.

 

Old Hickory Brewer Redeemer IPA

Style: Double IPA
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glass and SmuttyNose snifter
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.5/5
Notes: Smells of orange and malt. The flavor is sort of in line with the smell. You do get some citrus with more malt. You’re sort of teased as at first you hope it’s going to be juicy but then the malt comes in

Episode 37 – Radio Edit

We have Jason back with us this week! There are a lot of things to discuss this week.

We hit on the past weeks nerd news including a very big Batman V Superman rumor that sounds awful but the evidence makes it sound more and more likely. We won’t post it here in case you don’t want to be spoiled.

This episode contains our first ever edit insertion along with added intro! Hopefully it sounds fluid!

Beers

Cambridge Brewing Company Sgt. Pepper

Style: Farmhouse ale
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glasses
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.5/5
Notes: A solid farmhouse ale with pepper that really hits at the back of the throat.

Stone 19th Anniversary Thunderstruck

Style: Double IPA
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glasses
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4.5\5
Notes: Really great DIPA with hints of grapefruit. Leaps and bounds better than the malty 18th Anniversary

Episode 36 – Piper’s Final Pit

Nerdsense is back with another episode.

Everything is evolving, and we’re adding new wrinkles. This episode we pay respects to the late great ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper, and with that, also pay respect to our respective pasts as former pro wrestling fans. And we use that to venture into some surprising news to come out of last week’s WWE Raw.

We also spent time outlining our agenda. We aren’t one trick ponies and we have many interests, and this podcast is going to reflect that. We recently blew the cash to update our equipment, and we have improved our process and focus.

We are getting better every day, so you should see continuous improvements each and every week.

Sit back and enjoy, my friends.

 

Beers

Night Shift Santilli

Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glasses
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4.5\5
Notes: Really juicy and hop forward IPA. We’ve talked about this beer plenty of times. It’s our “goto” IPA that can hang with the likes of Heady and Sip of Sunshine

 

Southern Tier Choklat Oranj

Container: Bomber
Glassware: 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glasses
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.5\5
Notes: It tastes like one of those Chocolate Orange balls. It has a big boozy backend after the sweetness of the orange and chocolate taper off.

 

Indra Kunidra

Container: Bomber
Glassware: 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glasses
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 2\5
Notes: This one was definitely “interesting” It tastes like an indian curry dish. You definitely get the cumen upfront and it sweetens as it warms. Honestly though, we both love Ballast Point but we could not finish this and it had to be dumped

Episode 35 – Big Ones, Small Ones

We review Ant-Man! 

However, before reviewing Ant-Man we decided to torture ourselves. Mike, Josh and myself do a blind taste of four of those “yellow” beers.

  1. Miller Lite WINNER!
  2. Pabst Blue Ribbon
  3. Budweiser
  4. Sapporo

Our old friend, Ray, joined us as sort of an off to the side guest. He poured the beers into numbered cups for us and chimed in occasionally. We hope to have him back as a full featured guest in the near future!

blindfull

All 3 of us were completely wrong when it came to deciphering which beer was which. We did however unanimously decide that Beer #1 (Miller Lite) was the best.

Above you’ll find the order in which the beers were presented to us and below you’ll find what we thought each one was.

*NOTE* The below order does not signify the order in which we would rate these beers. We already tortured our pallets enough and decided to stop the rating at the best overall

Mike & Josh:

  1. Sapporo
  2. Budweiser
  3. Miller Lite
  4. Pabst Blue Ribbon

Shaun:

  1. Pabst Blue Ribbon
  2. Miller Lite
  3. Sapporo
  4. Budweiser

Beers (Good Ones)

Night Shift Absolution
Container: 64oz Growler
Glassware: 2014 and 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glasses
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.5\5
Notes: Definite hazelnut coffee comes up on the aftertaste.  It got a lot smoother as it warmed up in the glass. At first the three of us weren’t blown away by it but as it warmed, we all agreed it got better.

Episode 30 – The Christmas Tree Shop Has Dumb Toys

There is ALOT going on in this episode. I know Mike and I promised a BIG BIG episode 30 to make up for our lackluster episode 25 and I think we kind of did it!

Two of the beers we drank were EXTREMELY great and hard to get so it worked for what we wanted. EPICNESS. We also spent a good 30 minutes talking about the Christmas Tree Shop. We knew wanted something different with Episode 30 and Christmas Tree Shop talks is VERY different.

We still discuss some nerdy topics though! These topics include:

  • Batman spotted on the Suicide Squad set!
  • Stephen Amell wrestling on the WWE as Arrow!?
  • Deadpool Wraps!
  • Superhero Beatdown – Green Ranger Vs Ryu

As usual, complete nerdy nonsense!
