Earmuff alert: this episode was recorded live during a night of drinking among adults; those who are sensitive to certain words, be advised. With all the beer we brew for science, it's not uncommon for us to end up with a bunch of half-empty kegs.

This is exactly what Marshall did with friends Tim Meisch, Paul Amico, Justin Pretzer, and Craig Fry during a recent weekend the wives were out of town.
