The crew is back and kicking things off with a look at MLB Opening Day and the buzz surrounding the pre-season World Baseball Classic. We break down the biggest winners and losers from the international stage and early-season storylines, with a spotlight on Aaron Judge’s performance and what it all means for his season ahead, as well as a closer look at Team USA under Coach Mark DeRosa. From there, we hit the ice to preview the rapidly approaching NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, discussing contenders, pretenders, and who might be poised to make a deep run.

Off the field, Patrick and Sean swap stories from their separate—but equally unforgettable—St. Patrick’s Day parade adventures bringing a little chaos and plenty of laughs. Todd keeps things rolling with another must-hear movie review, while Mike throws out an “interesting” question that sends the conversation in a direction no one quite expected. Patrick steps in to right the ship and brings it home with a PSA highlighting the upcoming Hogs for the Cause event, reminding listeners how they can get involved and support a great cause.

In this latest Small Craft Advisory Beer Review, the crew heads down to Luling to check out German Coast Beer Company and their First Frost Citrus Wheat Ale. Brewed with Louisiana orange peel, this citrus wheat promises bright, refreshing flavor—and while the guys agree it’s a solid, well-made beer, the discussion quickly turns to whether it quite delivers the punch you’d expect from the style. The beer is easy-drinking, light, and refreshing, but the citrus notes feel a little muted, and the finish could use just a bit more crispness to really make it pop. Still, it’s an enjoyable brew and sparks a good conversation about balance, drinkability, and what makes a wheat ale stand out.

In this episode, we kick things off with a lively discussion about Mardi Gras! The guys share their experiences from the parades, talking about what they loved (and didn’t love) this year. Instead of joining the chaos of Endymion Saturday, Patrick, Todd, and Travis decided to switch it up and take a trip to the relatively new German Coast Beer Co in Luling. While they had plenty of good things to say about the brewery, they also shared some concerns about beer availability and a few small details that could use a tweak.

Next, we dive into a thrilling conversation about hockey, specifically the US vs Canada gold medal game in the Olympics. The competition was fierce, and we break down the highs, lows, and standout moments.

Finally, Todd takes us on a journey to Starville, MS, where he recaps his trip to Mississippi State’s campus. From catching a baseball game to touring the campus with his daughter, and more.
