Award Revoked

Episode 246 is here, and the Triple B crew is trading simple cans for high-end mixology—with a side of major controversy! In this episode, we dive into the industry-shaking news of a title being stripped of its Game of the Year awards over the use of generative AI. We break down the ethics of AI in gaming, its massive environmental footprint, and whether "placeholder" content is killing human artistry. Highlights from the show: The Slushie Revolution: Doc puts a new Ninja machine to the test with a "boozy slush" Riesling. Masterclass Mixology: JS crafts a top-shelf Manhattan and a Gin Ricky, including a mid-show rescue mission to save a bitter flavor profile. The "White Mocha" Disaster: Mark and Howard suffer through a stout that smells like "rancid summer candy." The Fighting Sioux Battle: We discuss the bold move by a local man to trademark a legendary nickname and the legal firestorm following it. Pirate Degrees: Is it actually possible to get an MIT-certified pirate qualification? Plus, we talk about stolen police car chases, the final flavor in the Mushroom Jerky saga, and JS’s genius hack for "test-driving" expensive hunting knives before you buy.   The Prop Wizard - https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThePropWizard   Recorded: 12.26.25 0:00 – Intro 6:37 – What’s on Tap? 26:14 – Video Game Awards AI Controversy 37:15 – What’s on Tap?
