The Beer Engine

Greetings fellow pizza eaters and beer drinkers. Ah, mine pizza needeth 10 more minutes! Shan’t we enjoy a flagon of ale to cure our ails? Thine titular ethos are becoming quite the pedant in thine pantaloons! (Is that something?) This week - some basketball had to be recapped as some of the basketball teams of great engines of the Beer Episode past had to be covered. The Arena Football season tru...

Well, I'll be! That is one extremely low rated beer by the Miller Brewing Company. Congrats! Today we talked about Tony’s time at GABS, how to order food for takeout  for the future and Australian triple doublers.  Griff is back on the pastry stouts and Michael's Pizza, it's like 2018 all over again on this show! Then there is this week's bracket, which features some of the saddest beers you can b...

Looks like the Beer Engine Pod wasn't the only ones out there doing a bracket. The fine City of Chicago and their elusive Mayor have selected their favorite pizza place and it is the Pizza Group's most beloved spot. You'll just have to listen to find out.  Anyways we also had some beers this week, Griff went psycho mode on Beers of the Week and a fun region in the bracket game that will have you e...

The bracket contest is BACK! Everyone’s favorite segment returns at the end of this show. The well is stocked with magazines and toys and Tony is doing his “very best” to keep out of there as he has to guess which is better: Michelob Golden Ultra Light Gold Bock, or Natty Daddy ICE Baddie? Good luck binch!  Anyways, Tony and I spent way too much time on Bulls crap and we had a highly disjointed AF...

I’m only giving it that title so we can catch some of those beautiful viral downloads. We need them! We kicked off our new segment today, as promised, with the AF1 Update of the Week. Another banger as usual where I had no idea where anyone was and we did a word count check and a BET. Also some amazing St. Patrick’s Day content, the return of U*tra R**ht Beer to Fox News (hint: lawsuit), and Chica...

We have been forced to give up the XFL / UFL Update of the Week. Sadly, losing famous sportswriter uhh…that guy, has left us with no choice. Without 9000 words per week on each of my favorite games, and some of the worst puns I’ve ever heard, there’s really no point. No, it’s time to shift over to Kansas’s #1 sports league - the Arena Football One, sponsored by Hulk Hogan. We discuss the upcoming...

Ahh, another week in Boingo’s America, or Tony’s America? This week we talk about the Tonysphere hitting the USA (“sir, another weird  guy that Tony watches on TV has hit the cabinet”). Griff puts in overtime at the Stamp and pays the price for a few hours. Tony gets super sweaty, and so do some of the beers. And an absolutely unnecessary rant on aging NBA wings. We also participate in a TOTALLY N...

It's important for us to cover these shelf battles between Hulk Hogan, an “every day carry” gun and holster company, and the Conservative Dad. Who else will give you the updates you need on these weirdos who all made the same cheap shitty beer marked up by 300%? That's right, it's the Beer Engine. We also use our journalist bonafides to cover the newly created “American Craft Beer Hall of Fame” wh...

The rising price of eggs is absolutely maddening, and it feels like an unnecessary burden on everyday people. Eggs, a staple in most households, have become a luxury item for many families, forcing tough choices between affordability and nutrition. What used to be a reliable, low-cost source of protein has been turned into another example of how basic needs are increasingly out of reach. It's infu...

Here’s a playful parody of Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” reimagined as “Let the Blondies Hit the Floor” and themed around the sweet, gooey dessert: Let the Blondies Hit the Floor     (Parody of "Bodies") Verse 1:   Something's wrong with the pan, it’s hot!   Can’t stop the batter, mixin’ up a lot.   Sticky and sweet, don’t overbake,   Feel the caramel start to quake! Pre-Chorus:   It’s the sugar! (Pour...

For example, episodes like "Mashed Potato Tim...

If Alan Jones , the Australian media personality known for his conservative views and often controversial commentary, met Alex Jones , the conspiracy theorist and founder of Infowars , over a 75-cent beer, it would likely be an intense and entertaining interaction. Here’s how such a meeting might unfold: Shared Conservative Views : Both Alan and Alex share right-wing ideologies, though they often...

If Sammy "The Bull" Gravano played for the Chicago Bulls, it would definitely make for an interesting and unlikely scenario. Instead of basketball plays, you could imagine Gravano pulling off "plays" in a much different way—using his street smarts and strategic thinking, honed from his time as a notorious mobster, to outwit opponents. On the court, Gravano's toughness and ability to stay calm unde...

In Midwestern parlance, "ope" is a common interjection used when someone makes a small mistake or is about to inconvenience someone. It’s often said instinctively, like when you bump into someone, drop something, or accidentally get in someone’s way. It’s a way of saying "oops" or expressing mild surprise or apology without much thought. For example, "Ope! Let me squeeze right past you!" ★ Support...

Here’s a description of their appearance: 1. **Instrument size**: The bari sax is one of the largest and heaviest instruments in the marching band, so the player is often seen with the sax draped over their shoulder with a neck strap or harne...
