After 2 Beers

You can feel a life milestone hit in real time. We’re joking around one minute, then the next we’re staring straight at a question a lot of us avoid: when did “50 is old” stop being a joke and start being a mirror? Dutch’s 48th birthday kicks off a surprisingly honest run about health, losing people too young, and why the most valuable thing you own has nothing to do with your bank account.We also get into the messy, hilarious reality of dating standards as you age. What’s a reasonable age cutoff on a dating app when your kid is grown? How much does physical attraction matter, and what do you do with the Gen Z idea of “Shrekking,” dating someone you’re not attracted to because they’re a good person? It’s part comedy, part real talk, and way too relatable.Then we turn the chaos up with a game: five headline stories and one is fake. A snake bite leads to a finger getting chopped off. A slot machine flashes a $43 million jackpot that gets voided as a “glitch” and replaced with a steak dinner. A hickey ends in a fatal stroke. A first date shows up with 23 family members and a massive bill. We argue, we guess, and we spiral like only this crew can.If the ending hits close to home, that’s the point.

You know that moment when a normal catch-up turns into a dead-serious debate about aliens, JFK, and who’s really pulling the strings? That’s where we live. Dutch Dalton, Kimmy Gibbler, and Michael Summers crack the seal after a couple drinks and chase the questions people only admit they have when the room feels safe: Bigfoot sightings, Area 51, 9/11 doubts, the Epstein list, and why it feels like the public always gets the story late.We also get into faith and history in a way that’s messy but honest, from Freemasons to missing religious texts like the Book of Enoch, plus the idea that “secrets” might be sitting in places like the Vatican archives or locked-away collections the public never sees. Then we pull it back to modern life, including what it’s like to get “Zuckered” by social media and watch a page’s reach collapse when platforms and reports decide you’re a problem.And because it’s After Two Beers, we end up laughing at the most absurd real headlines on earth: Olympic Village condom shortages, a camel beauty contest busted for cosmetic hump fillers, an Antarctica stabbing over book spoilers, a kid accidentally packing a vodka cocktail for lunch, a Guinness record pulled with nipple piercings, and yes, sharks testing positive for drugs in the Caribbean. If you like comedy podcasts, conspiracy theory talk, and weird news that somehow circles back to real life, this one’s for you.

What do a Super Bowl halftime show, a CIA-wired cat, and a bank robber who refuses to run have in common? They all reveal how people—and giant institutions—make baffling choices for reasons that seem obvious once you pull back the curtain. We crack open outrage culture around Bad Bunny and land on an unglamorous truth: in the NFL’s $240B world, market growth beats politics every time. When owners’ families publicly cheer a globally dominant artist, it’s not a culture war; it’s an audience strategy.From there we shift into something more personal: the uneasy art of reading people. One moment it’s a rest-stop gut check, the next it’s a neighborhood feed full of coyotes and doorbells. Is spidey sense intuition or just pattern matching? We weigh safety, bias, and the way technology fuels certainty. Then we veer into conspiracies with receipts. Yes, Acoustic Kitty really happened—tiny mic, big bill, one unlucky taxi. And the rumored “gay bomb”? A proposed non-lethal tactic meant to scramble enemy morale. It never launched, but the fact it was drafted says everything about how far bureaucracies will reach for an edge.The stories get wilder: a “cleaning fairy” who breaks in, tidies up, and leaves a handwritten invoice; a 70-year-old who calmly robs a bank because home is worse than prison, only to be sentenced to house arrest; and a grudge so epic an ex spends decades visiting a grave for the pettiest ritual imaginable. Beneath the laughs is a throughline: we’re all navigating spectacle, judgment, and the strange ways people try to feel in control. We wrap with community—live trivia, music nights, and a reminder to check on friends who seem off. The world is tough; a message, a meetup, or a shared joke can change someone’s day.Join us for sharp takes, questionable theories, and stories you’ll retell.

A three-hour fishing trip turns into 438 days adrift on the Pacific. When Jose Salvador Alvarenga finally washes ashore thousands of miles away, he isn’t just a survivor—he’s a headline, a lawsuit target, and a mirror for how we treat people who outlast the impossible. We unpack what he ate, how he endured, and why the public often demands spectacle before empathy.From there, the ride gets wilder. We meet three friends who push their car after a night out to avoid a DUI and end up fined for “misusing the road,” and a giant panda that fakes pregnancy to score AC, buns, and bamboo—proof that incentives shape behavior in zoos and in life. Then we spotlight a New Jersey restaurant owner who closes up shop, launches a fleet of drones with thermal cameras, and reunites families with their lost pets—refusing payment from those who can’t afford help and building a community network on purpose, not clout.We also wade into messy human moments: a surgeon who wants his donated kidney “back” during a divorce, and a pastor who proposes at a funeral—choices that test where generosity ends and attention-seeking begins. Along the way we wrestle with casino economics versus addiction risk, the dopamine pull of slots and e-tickets, and how media turns violence into currency. The throughline is simple: survival is personal, but recovery is shared. Systems nudge us; character defines us; community saves us.We keep it candid, a little rowdy, and always real—because life’s hard enough without pretending otherwise. If you’re into true survival stories, human psychology, weird-but-true news, and community wins that restore your faith, you’re in the right place.

A century-old film clip sparks a modern gut check: a Paris tailor climbs the Eiffel Tower in 1912 wearing a parachute suit of his own design… and jumps. The crowd is ready, the cameras are rolling, and gravity answers in four seconds. We break down why this infamous moment still matters—how belief is fuel, but physics is the guardrail—and use it as a lens for the tech leaps we’re making right now.From there, we fast-forward to the near future that’s already pulling into the driveway: AI-driven cars you can nap in, not-so-subtle subscription features hiding inside your vehicle, and why flying cars sound fun until you imagine them running out of charge over your roof. We explore the quieter revolution of convenience—groceries delivered, apps everywhere, VR meetings that might actually feel present—and ask what happens to community when leaving the house becomes optional. The thread runs through drones and swarms, unmanned warfare, and the rising value of metals like silver and copper that power electrification and chips. Follow the materials and you can almost map the next decade.It’s not all heavy. We trade small-town legends, smoky humor from a Colorado dispensary fire, and updates on our live trivia nights and a 90s country theme party. But we close where it matters most: eight years into this show, we’ve seen how quickly life can turn. People get quiet. Grief sneaks up.

The bow-on-the-hood moment looks great on TV, but what happens when a surprise 90,000 dollar purchase runs headfirst into real life, real budgets, and real trust? We kick things off on the back porch with the kind of money talk most people avoid. Simple rules. Honest limits. The difference between a thoughtful gift and a financial grenade. If you have ever tried to balance independence with a shared future, this one hits close to home.Then things get weird. A family unknowingly drives their “deceased” aunt 300 miles to a cremation only to hear knocking from the coffin. A bald eagle drops a cat through a windshield. And the internet convinces people that smearing menstrual blood on their face is a beauty secret. We laugh, we cringe, and then we dig into why this stuff spreads so fast and how to keep your common sense intact when the algorithm rewards chaos.We also talk about a long-term Norwegian study that claims heavy teenage drinking leads to later success. It is the kind of headline built to get clicks, so we slow it down and unpack what really matters. Community matters. Connection matters. And survivorship bias is real. For parents, we share practical guardrails that actually work, from setting money boundaries to building safe spaces without glorifying bad decisions.We close on something quieter. Anxiety that shows up without warning, especially around the holidays. If you feel it, you are not alone. We have been there. Small routines help. Talking helps.

A chimp wanders a public path at the Indianapolis Zoo, two endangered tortoises vanish in the night...also at the Indy Zoo, and a city pulls 189 bodies from its bayous. We start with laughs and local love—bourbon drops, sweet wine, and sponsor shoutouts—then dive headlong into the gritty questions beneath the headlines: what do zoos owe the animals they exhibit, and when does education turn into confinement? We revisit Harambe with fresh eyes, unpack why tranquilizers aren’t instant, and weigh the split-second ethics of lethal force when a child’s life is at risk.From there, we take a hard look at Houston’s waterways: homicides, drownings, and that unsettling category called “unexplained.” Are officials minimizing risk, or is uncertainty part of the truth? The thread leads to something bigger—how fear and media shape our choices. Unlocked doors used to be normal; now every porch has a camera and nerves run hot. We talk about bear attacks in Japan, asteroid gossip, and why rare risks hijack the brain while everyday safety gets ignored.Then comes the gut punch: imagine a nuclear strike with fifteen minutes’ warning. Do you call the body shop or your mom? Blast your favorite song or sit still and breathe? Could anyone even leave town? The thought experiment strips life down to essentials—time, truth, and the people beside you. We keep it honest and human, mixing gallows humor with practical insight, and circle back to the same heartbeat: community. Check on your friends this season.

A marching band at a fast-food opening, a box of severed arms on a doorstep, and a “mobile clinic” promising upgrades from the backseat of a 90s Toyota—welcome to the wildest hour you’ll hear all week. We crack open some cans, tip our caps to the folks who keep our lights on, and jump into the stories that made us laugh, cringe, and question what counts as normal these days.First, we trade small-town stories: how a Chick-Fil-A launch turned into a civic spectacle, why that actually says something sweet about where we live, and what it reveals about community pride and longing for big retail (Target, anyone?). Then we pivot hard to the news: a Kentucky woman expecting meds opens a box of cadaver limbs; the reminder is real—call 911 and let the coroner handle the chain of custody. From there, it’s Florida Man lore upgraded: a 76-year-old with a “No Drugs” yard sign and almost two pounds of cocaine, plus the kind of contradictions only the Sunshine State can supply.The most jaw-dropping story lands in Bangkok, where a self-taught “surgeon” performs pearl implants, circumcisions, and enlargement injections in a parked Toyota, marketing via TikTok until police intervene mid-procedure. It’s the internet’s hustle culture colliding with public health and the risks people take when licensed care feels out of reach. We keep the rollercoaster going with a bride who slashes her 200-person guest list to 75 after a spiritual advisor warns of “energetic blocks,” sparking a debate on etiquette, budgets, and the way wellness language shapes real-life decisions. And yes, we talk about the Pennsylvania patient who lit a crack pipe while on oxygen, the preventable science behind what happened, and the hard truths about stress and addiction in clinical settings.Between the jokes and the gasps, we circle back to why we do this: to bring levity, highlight community, and remind each other to check in as the holidays close in. We shout out local partners, bourbon drops, trivia nights, and turkey giveaways, then ask for something simple that helps more than you think—reach out to someone who might be struggling and let them know they matter.If this one made you laugh or think, hit follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

A small-town team name shouldn’t spark this much chaos—but “Flying Mummies” does exactly that. We kick off with Richmond’s new wooden-bat league squad and tumble into a spirited roast of the home uniform pants, why minor league branding matters, and how a clever identity can pull a whole community together. It’s fun, fast, and surprisingly tender as we weigh how design lands on real bodies and why kids need merch that feels cool, not costume-y.From there, the conversation widens into life’s messier innings: a grocery-line moment that unravels decades of marriage fatigue, the quiet fear of aging alone, and the uncomfortable truth that technology might become our most reliable safety net. We get candid about fall detection, social isolation, and whether future companionship could look more like AI than a spouse. It’s not dour—we’re laughing through it—but the questions linger in a good way.Then we grab the headlines with an office trend that wants shoes left at the door, an ultra-marathon that requires Taco Bell pit stops, and two animal stories that test our moral reflexes: peacocks on the plate and a classroom snake fed a kitten. Where do we draw the line between livestock and pet, necessary feeding and needless trauma, spectacle and sport? We don’t preach; we explore—the way friends do when the mics are on and the takes are hot.If you’re here for sharp banter, oddball news, and honest talk about how we actually live now, hit play.

A political killing, a social media pile-on, and a bigger question: how free is free speech when your boss is watching? We crack open a local tequila and dive into the week’s most volatile story with clear eyes and real talk—no shouting, no dunking, just a hard look at what the First Amendment protects, what it doesn’t, and why at‑will employment turns tweets into career risks. From the vice president’s call to “name and report” to hundreds of people losing jobs over posts, we ask where accountability ends and petty punishment begins.We map the actual boundaries—FCC rules, George Carlin’s seven dirty words, landmark cases on symbolic speech—and contrast U.S. standards with countries where online comments can trigger arrests. Then we shift from politics to people: mental health. The alleged shooter’s behavior reads less like a manifesto and more like untreated distress. We talk access, insurance, and why investing in care would do more to prevent violence than any new speech code. Along the way, we confront AI fakes, chopped clips, and the way algorithms reward outrage while starving nuance.What do we suggest instead? Curate a wider media diet. Debate in good faith. Choose “change the channel” over “call their boss” when you can. And when you can’t agree, say so and move on. The goal isn’t to sanitize speech; it’s to rebuild the muscle for respectful dissent. We close with something simple and urgent: check on your people. If someone seems off, reach out. Kind questions beat hot takes every time.If this conversation hits home, share it with a friend, subscribe for more thoughtful shows, and leave a review with your take: should employers police personal posts?

A dog carries home a human skull. A grand Midwestern estate hides 10,000 bone fragments. A man fakes his death with a kayak, an e‑bike, and three flights to chase a new life overseas. We follow the trail from a bizarre headline to Indiana’s haunted true‑crime map—Fox Hollow Farm, Herb Baumeister, and the overlooked victims along I‑70—then pull back to ask harder questions about how stigma and jurisdictional blind spots let predators operate in plain sight.From there, we widen the lens. MKUltra moves from rumor to record as we unpack what’s known about illegal LSD experiments, the Manson murders, and why “conspiracy theory” sometimes becomes “declassified history.” The conversation doesn’t settle every debate, but it sharpens the tool we need most: a habit of checking sources, tracing timelines, and recognizing when power hides the ball. That same vigilance applies closer to home. An EMT in the room shares indelible scenes from the field, and our true‑crime talk shifts to real prevention—Suicide Awareness, how fast a bad night can turn permanent, and why a simple call or check‑in can change the plot.We keep the momentum with a sprint through modern scams and tech: a Wisconsin “death” hoax unraveled in Europe, an octogenarian duped by a so‑called astronaut “low on oxygen,” and a Florida dealer who flew a drone loaded with meth and fentanyl to the wrong house. Then it’s drones at scale—Ukraine’s battlefield lessons, cartel adoption, and the future of low‑cost, high‑impact warfare. Along the way, we share the weirdness that lives in parking lots and big‑box aisles, from foot‑fetish thefts to retail floor creepiness, as reminders that danger isn’t only cinematic. Curiosity isn’t just entertainment here; it’s self‑defense.If this ride hooked you—midwest true crime, MKUltra history, scam‑spotting, drones, and real talk on mental health—tap follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review.

Trust issues reach new heights as we explore the controversial business of relationship loyalty testing, where one woman charges $5,000 to digitally flirt with your partner and report back the results. Would you ever consider such a test, or does the very thought of needing one signal deeper relationship problems?We dive into a heart-stopping courtroom moment when a judge mistakenly pronounced a man "guilty" of murder charges before realizing his error 20 agonizing seconds later. The casual "Did I not say 'not'?" correction that followed raises serious questions about our justice system and the psychological impact of such a profound mistake.The scorned lover revenge story from Kentucky will leave you speechless – one woman's post-breakup rampage caused over $12,000 in damage to her ex's car. From glitter in the vents to salt in the engine, she proudly owned her destruction, later claiming pregnancy stress as the trigger. This leads us to reflect on those relationships we've escaped that could have ended similarly catastrophically.Perhaps the most audacious crime story we've ever covered involves two teenagers who stole an actual train after learning to operate it on YouTube. Their joyride ended predictably badly when they couldn't figure out how to stop the locomotive – a perfect metaphor for many of life's impulsive decisions.Between laughs and incredulous reactions, we're reminded that sometimes the strangest stories help us cope with life's challenges. As we always say at the end of our shows – life is hard enough, so we're just here to lighten the mood and remind you that we're all in this together. When you see someone struggling, sometimes all it takes is inviting them for a sandwich to make a difference.Support the show

What makes ordinary objects terrifying? Why do so many people believe in ghosts when science offers rational explanations? This raw, unfiltered conversation dives deep into America's most notorious haunted doll, Annabelle, recently purchased by comedian Matt Rife for his friend's museum.We unpack the psychology behind supernatural beliefs while sharing tequila and laughs. Our skeptic host stands alone against a panel of believers, creating the perfect tension for exploring what makes the unexplainable so compelling. Is it our innate need to find meaning in chaos, or something more profound about the human experience?The conversation takes surprising turns as we discuss truly bizarre real-world events. Green dildos mysteriously appearing on WNBA courts. Parents abandoning their child at an airport to catch their flight. A fake doctor performing unauthorized ultrasounds on men's genitals. A 22-inch rat terrorizing England. These stories prove reality often outpaces fiction in its strangeness.Throughout our meandering journey through the weird and unexplained, we return to what matters most—connection. Whether you're a devoted believer in the supernatural or a committed skeptic, this episode offers something invaluable: a moment to step away from life's hardships and share a laugh with friends who don't judge.Life is challenging enough without taking ourselves too seriously. So grab a drink, check on your friends, and remember that sometimes the best response to an absurd world is simply to laugh at it together.

The infamous Coldplay concert cheating scandal sets the stage for a candid conversation about moral hypocrisy and selective outrage in today’s culture. When a man was caught on camera with a woman who wasn’t his wife—sparking public outrage and professional fallout—we had to ask: why do some personal failings ruin careers while others are brushed aside?Looking at the numbers makes it even more complex. In 2022, over 672,000 divorces were filed, with half citing infidelity as a factor. And yet, studies suggest nearly half of cheaters never get caught. So how many people piling on in the comments have skeletons of their own? The hypocrisy is hard to miss.From there, the discussion expands into consumer morality—boycotts of brands like Hobby Lobby, Chick-fil-A, or Bud Light, and how generational differences shape those decisions. As Gen Xers, we admit we tend to separate products from the politics of the companies behind them, while younger generations often choose to make their wallets an extension of their values.We also dig into the thorny issue of separating art from the artist. Can you enjoy Michael Jackson’s music despite the controversies? What about Roman Polanski films? We share our own boundaries—and the inconsistencies we all carry when it comes to judging others.To balance the heavy stuff, we lighten the mood with bizarre Florida headlines and shocking stats about pool etiquette (yes, 53% of adults admit to peeing in pools). It’s equal parts hilarious and gross—but perfectly illustrates how messy and inconsistent human behavior really is.This episode is raw, real, and at times uncomfortable—but it’s also an honest look at the contradictions we all live with. Join us as we talk through the lines we draw, the judgments we make, and the hypocrisies that connect us more than we realize.👉 Support the show and catch even more unfiltered conversations at www.patreon.com/after2beersSupport the show

The second you hear that first crack of a beer can, you know it’s time to dive into the weird, wild, and downright uncomfortable corners of humanity with After 2 Beers.In this episode, we’re asking the question: When should you speak up—and when should you just mind your own damn business?First, we break down a wild airline story where one nosy passenger thought they saw a death threat in a stranger’s text… and got the entire flight diverted. Spoiler: it wasn’t that deep. Then, we flip the script with a hospital situation where staff stumbled on a patient’s dark secret after he left his phone behind. And just when you think you’ve heard it all, we serve up an ice cream truck story involving a confused vigilante and a very misunderstood Apple Pay transaction.Of course, it wouldn’t be After 2 Beers without detours. We discuss how the average dog owner makes 27 decisions a month based entirely on their pet’s needs. If you’ve ever canceled plans for your dog—or fed them better than yourself—you’re not alone.Then local fireworks expert Jeremy drops in with a hot take on how international tariffs are lighting a fuse under the industry. He even gives us the inside scoop on a recent pyrotechnic mishap that had the whole town buzzing.We close the show with two squirm-worthy medical stories: one from China that involves an eel (where no eel should ever be), and another from Florida that takes “contraband” to a whole new level.Funny, fast-paced, and totally unfiltered—this episode is a wild ride from start to finish.

Remember when privacy meant drawing your curtains and locking your door? Those days are quickly vanishing, and in this eye-opening episode, we confront the unsettling reality of our surveillance-saturated world. The conversation begins with a seemingly innocent debate about hotels versus Airbnbs (would you stay somewhere if the owner is sleeping downstairs?), but quickly evolves into something far more provocative when we reveal China's latest military innovation: drones the size of mosquitoes. These tiny surveillance devices can literally fit between your thumb and forefinger yet capture crystal-clear footage. As we pass around beers from our sponsors at The Bottle Shop, we contemplate how technology has fundamentally altered the concept of being alone.We dive into the psychology of FOPO – Fear of Public Opinion – which experts are now calling a new epidemic. Do you check your social media posts obsessively for likes? Feel anxious when ordering food because the line behind you might be judging you? You're not alone. Our discussion about digital validation and hypervigilance reveals how we're all affected by this modern condition.The news segment delivers stories you definitely won't hear on mainstream networks: a man who discovered he was married when his ex-fiancée left the certificate on his porch, a guy who attacked someone with a wooden stake believing they were a werewolf, and a Florida resident who called 911 over 16,000 times. Between explosive tequila-soaked turkeys and vigilante dollar store employees, these bizarre true stories highlight just how strange our world has become.Whether you're concerned about technology's reach, fascinated by human psychology, or just need some laughs about Florida's wildest residents, this episode delivers genuine conversation that feels like hanging out with friends around a bonfire.

Death comes for us all, but what happens to your body afterward? That's entirely up to you – and the After Two Beers podcast team has some thoughts. In their latest episode, Dutch, Kimmy, and Michael introduce listeners to the intriguing concept of "boil in a bag" cremation, an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional burial or cremation that's gaining traction worldwide. The hosts share their personal end-of-life preferences with surprising candor, from Michael's simple cremation wishes to Kimmy's desire for a memorial bench where loved ones can visit. This thoughtful discussion raises important questions about how we approach death planning and the value of having these conversations before they're urgently needed. As the team points out – we're all getting older, and preparing those we leave behind is an act of love.But this wouldn't be After Two Beers without some risqué content! The crew dives into fascinating research from Adam & Eve revealing that 81% of adults experience sexual dreams regularly, with over half experiencing actual orgasms during them. This leads to a hilarious debate when two hosts claim they rarely remember their dreams at all – prompting accusations of "having no soul" and an impromptu science lesson about REM sleep.Between these deeper discussions, the podcast delivers its signature bizarre news roundup: a Kentucky man who released a raccoon in a restaurant for revenge, a Saudi Arabian tourist who called 911 when a stripper wouldn't have sex with him, and a teen who urinated in a baseball team's water jug. There's also a revealing conversation about unexpected Ozempic side effects that has the hosts in stitches.After nearly eight years of podcasting together, the After Two Beers team continues to blend humor with substance in a way that makes difficult conversations accessible and entertaining.

The filters come off and the truth flows freely when Dutch Dalton, Kimmy Gibbler, and Puddin' crack open a few cold ones in their Richmond studio. What starts as casual conversation around a hypothetical campfire quickly spirals into a rollicking journey through stories you'll never hear on mainstream news.Ever wondered what Abraham Lincoln's bloodstained gloves might fetch at auction? How about $2.5 million—a price that sparks deeper questions about our fascination with historical artifacts and celebrity memorabilia. The hosts ponder whether collecting unopened bourbon bottles is sensible when you could actually drink them, leading to philosophical musings about mortality and enjoyment versus preservation.Between sips of Natter Days and Fireball, the conversation veers wildly from funeral home mix-ups to a Haitian food vendor who poisoned 40 gang members in revenge for her murdered family. You'll hear about Wienermobile races, underwater scooter getaways from the FBI, and proposed Olympics where performance-enhancing drugs aren't just allowed—they're encouraged.The show's signature "Campfire Discussions" segment invites vulnerable sharing about celebrity crushes and which body parts we could live without, creating moments of surprising intimacy amidst the laughter.

Remember when taking a selfie just meant striking a pose and snapping a quick pic? Those days are clearly gone as we dive into not one but TWO stories of selfie-seekers whose pursuit of the perfect shot landed them in the hospital. One man climbed into a crocodile enclosure because he thought the reptile was fake (spoiler: it wasn't), while another tourist became impaled on Rome's Colosseum fence trying to get that Instagram-worthy angle.But the ridiculous human behavior doesn't stop there. A Turkish town accidentally got high for FIVE DAYS when authorities burned 20 tons of seized cannabis in the open air, creating a smoke cloud that enveloped the entire community. Meanwhile, in Ohio, police pulled over a woman only to discover her pet raccoon, Chewy, attempting to smoke a meth pipe in the passenger seat. And yes, there's video evidence.We also tackle more serious conversations about Virginia's new law restricting minors from social media usage, Airbnb's celebrity experience service (who would you choose to hang out with?), and the declining interest in parenthood among young adults. Between fits of laughter and thoughtful debate, we somehow manage to cover everything from dangerous playground equipment of yesteryear to the universal truth that peeing in your backyard is just part of being human.The world can be an absurd place, but it's also filled with people who might be struggling beneath the surface. So while we laugh at the outrageous headlines, we hope you'll take a moment to check in on someone who might need it. Sometimes a simple "how are you doing?" can be the one thing that helps someone make it through another day.Support the show

The After Two Beers podcast returns after a brief hiatus with hosts Dutch Dalton, Kimmy Gibbler, and Puddin' picking up right where they left off – bringing their unique brand of conversational humor to strange and fascinating stories from around the world.The episode takes listeners on a journey beginning with the hosts' recent experience at a local wrestling event. Despite impressive athleticism and entertainment value, they couldn't help but notice the overwhelming locker room smell permeating the venue.
