À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
In this episode of the Stuck in Beta podcast, Josh shares his ongoing technological nightmares as Google Chrome completely crashes his system, forcing a full reinstall. For Beer Thirty, the guys crack open a six-year-old bottle of Main & Mill’s Waffle Cone Rocky Road Imperial Stout, only to find the bottom of the bottle has turned into a gelatinous pudding. Josh recaps a fantastic day date with Lori that took them to the Missouri Botanical Garden and Modern Brewery, followed by a trip to a St. Louis Battlehawks game that featured a bobblehead shortage and seat stealers. Plus, a review of the ultra-violent Punisher one-shot on Disney+, and a classic “Shop Talk” segment where Josh details a brutal 4-hour plumbing disaster.
