Is Calling Someone "Bald" Harassment?
from Beer Blues and BS · host beerbluesbs
Episode 247 brings the heat—and the cold! While the host might be "very much drunk" by the end, we’ve got a massive show filled with breaking news, simulator gameplay, and the long-awaited origin story of Howard’s Hannah Montana incident. In this episode, we tackle some heavy-hitting headlines: • The Menards Lawsuit: We break down the $4.25 million settlement over those famous 11% rebates. Is it a discount or a deceptive practice? • The "Baldness" Ruling: A British court has ruled that calling a man "bald" can be sexual harassment. Howard and Mark discuss what this means for their own workplace banter. • Snow Plow Simulator Access: Mark Kidder gets exclusive developer access to a new simulator! The Main Event: Howard finally spills the beans on the "Hannah Montana Story." It’s a wild tale involving a stressful portfolio review, being falsely labeled a racist at UND, and a post-exam drinking session that led to a very unexpected TV binge. This leads to a deep dive into: • The pressure of graduating in four years. • Why most of us took much longer to finish our degrees. • The "utility" of bachelor’s degrees in careers that have nothing to do with them. Plus, we drink a beverage that is a bad idea for several reasons! Recorded: 12.26.25 0:00 – Intro 5:00 – What’s on Tap? 18:23 – Breaking News: Snow Plow Simulator 33:11 – What’s on Tap?
