Colompton Beer Club #246- What Are We Even Living Through?

In this episode of The Colompton Beer Club Podcast, the crew welcomes Juan back to the show and immediately asks the only logical question: what are we even living through right now? We kick things off by breaking down the Blizzard of 2026 aftermath. Where we were stuck, whether the hype matched reality, and why modern weather events feel like mini-apocalypses. Along the way, we take a nostalgic detour into our old rec league basketball days and flirt with the idea of joining a flag football league.From there, we dive deep into the NFL Playoffs, reviewing the conference championship matchups between the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams, and the Denver Broncos vs. the New England Patriots. We debate coaching versus execution, flukes versus dominance, and whether the Patriots are officially back as they head into a Super Bowl matchup against Seattle.Then we discuss why Bill Belichick is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, question how much credit belongs to Tom Brady, and point out the first ballot Hall of Fame coaches and how they compare to Belichick. The chaos continues with a discussion on Shedeur Sanders making the Pro Bowl and whether the event means anything at all anymore.Outside of football, we spiral into internet and cultural madness. TikTok ownership changes and bans, Tesla ending Model S and X production to focus on robots, and whether society is actually ready for humanoid AI. Things get heavier as we talk World War 3 fears, what a modern military draft would look like, ICE agents being refused service, and the release of millions of pages from the Jeffrey Epstein files, and why nothing ever seems to happen.We also react to a viral pizzeria fight involving a high school girl defending herself at work, debate self-defense versus spectacle, and wrap up with quick movie takes as Steve talked about The Rip and The Smashing Machine, and Dante ranted about Thor: Love and Thunder.All of this goes down while we sip and review Four Loko Camo and Big Mango Beer Hug by Goose Island. Chaos, bad ideas, and strong opinions, just another night at Colompton.
