John Mayer, Mad Viking Soap, Collab IPAs

Beats, Beards & Brews

"Everybody's been dying to know what we think about John Mayer's new record, Sob Rock," Dan asserts at the start of this episode.

What's that? You don't actually care what we think about John Mayer's eighth studio album Sob Rock?! Well that's too bad. Eric and Dan are dropping their review of this late '80s inspired pop rock record whether you like or not. So buckle up, buddy.

John Mayer songs previewed on this episode include:

1. "Wild Blue"
2. "Shot in the Dark"
3. "New Light"

Next up, it's time for yet another installment of everybody's favorite podcast segment about soap — Sudsin' It Up! This time the boys are reviewing Mad Viking's Beard and Body Soap in Blodorn (coffee, chocolate, peppermint) and Ragnarok (Fruity Pebbles-esque) scents. Get the bath water ready.

Finally, the duo wraps up the episode with a review of two different collaboration IPAs. Dan shares his thoughts on Dangerous Dual Double West Coast IPA, a collaboration between Dangerous Man Brewing in Minneapolis and Dual Citizen Brewing in St. Paul, Minnesota. Meanwhile, Eric reviews All Gas No Brakes Triple IPA, a collaboration between ReUnion Brewery in Coralville, Iowa, and Wake Brewing in Rock Island, Illinois.

Oh, and the Quad Cities includes Davenport (Iowa), Rock Island (Illinois), Moline (Illinois) ... and Bettendorf (Iowa). A question we fail to answer in this episode. You're welcome.
