It’s Thanksgiving today and we decided to jam out our November Episode the night before so we can enjoy the Holiday with fresh Hangovers and you all have a fresh Podcast for your ear holes!

In this episode, we drank a drink that we actually talked about in the episode before, the Benton’s Old Fashioned. Now, yes, we’ve made an Old Fashioned before, but who cares? They are a fantastic cocktail. This one’s a bit different, this was inspired by my recent trip to New York, and if you listened to the last episode, you’ll know where I went to find this little bit of magic. This particular cocktail requires a special type of bourbon, BACON infused BOURBON! Yup, you read that one right. I’ll have the recipe up for you soon and the step by step process explaining HOW to make your own BACON INFUSED BOURBON (I still get excited even typing that).

Step 1

Step 2

We both finally saw Kevin Smith’s Red State, so we yammered on about that in our usual non-style, we glazed over our music/comedy/podcast segment and moved right on over to our Food segment.

And being so close to Turkey Day, we expressed our particular fondness for this Holiday by blabbering on about what made our Thanksgivings so good and so different.

Enjoy!

In this episode we drank Hot Toddy’s and didn’t really talk about Movies or TV, we pretty much caught up and drank. It was a good time…

Welcome back Beardo’s!

It’s been a while since our last new Podcast, and I think 13 is a good number per “season”. So we’re bringing you season 2!

Washington Apple

This is more of our usual nonsense, Hoover makes a Washington Apple variation cocktail (that’s fantastic, BTW), we chat about Sons of Anarchy, and we end up gushing about a local restaurant called Ramos House in San Juan Capistrano so much that we ended up scheduling one of our Sunday Funday’s around it.

Enjoy!

Alrighty, this is the third episode of our pseudo-Podcast. I think we’ve lost the final episode in which we actually had guests… BUT, here’s some more Brad/Hoover for your ear-balls!

Part 2!

Holy Hand Grenades. Well, obviously, if you look at the date of our last Podcast episode and the date of this one, you might think to yourself, what the HELL we’re you doing all this time!? Well, I’ll tell you. On another Podcast.

Until then, I’ve cut together a couple of other Podcasts that we recorded, they were initially going to be part of a whole other separate Podcast documenting the process of making a film from Pre-Production, to Production (with guests), and finally through Post Production and on to Distribution. Well, the film turned out to be a bit more consuming than we hoped and we just couldn’t find the time to record more than we did. We recorded 2 episodes, I split the first one into 2 parts, so there’s going to be 3 of these things.

Now, keep in mind, these are VERY different than the normal And A Beard We Go Podcasts. I won’t be offended if you hate these or just straight up skip them. But I thought, rather than just let these get lost in the ether, I’d put them out, and you can like ‘em or leave ‘em.

In this episode Hoover woke me up with a text about booze, of which I thanked him.  We experimented with a Far East inspired cocktail, Japanese Whisky and Green Tea.  It was OK, but if anyone has a better recipe, LET US KNOW!

We’ve been watching Portlandia and Californication, Listening to Washed Out & The Pod F. Tompkast.  Brad’s going to see the Black Dynamite panel at Nerdist Meltdown “Nerdmelt” AND Chris Hardwick’s stand-up at the Irvine Improv.

We’ve made it to 10!

In this episode, we figured we’d do a we bit o’ St. Patricks Day drinkin’!  This episode will probably hit a week or so after St. Patty’s day so we went for Irish Car Bombs.  Unfortunately for Hoover, he had to leave shortly after recording, which was probably not a very good idea…  We already started falling off after our first glass of Jameson neat (using my new Whisky stones).

Brad’s been watching Roseanne, Trailer Park Boys & I Spit on Your Grave (the remake), Hoover’s been watching Sparticus, he loves any movies of ripped men sweating & wrestling each other.

Brad’s been listening to the new Donald Glover “Childish Gambino” album, we’ve been listening to Rob Hubel’s new Podcast “Mike Detective” and Hoover talks about an old Radio Serial Drama called “Box 13″.

And finally, we drool about our love of The Original Pancake House and the infamous Roscoes Chicken and Waffles.

Cheers!

Welcome to Episode 9, ‘yall!

This Episode was recorded the same day as Episode 8, but we switched it up and recorded with stick mics instead of the built-in mics on the Zoom H4n recorder.

We drank good ol’ Whiskey Sours.  Easy as that.

Our movies this week were “Boy Eats Girl”, “Monsters” by Garreth Edwards and “The Parking Lot Movie”.

Under our new Music/Comedy/Podcast segment, we talk about the “Mike and Tom Eat Snacks” Podcast, the “Red State of the Union” Podcast, shoutout to the “Nerdist” Podcast and the “Pod F. Tompkast”.

Hoover graciously breaks down the Happy Hour menu at Fisherman’s in San Clemente, CA.

Cheers!

We discuss the “Exit Through the Gift Shop” and “King of Kong” documentaries.

We finally added “Podcasts” to our neglected Music/Comedy section.  So I give a couple recommendations and share my story about my trip to San Diego and watching one of my favorite bands “The Decemberists”.

Hoover gives us a couple minutes of what he thinks of El Molino in San Juan, CA.

Enjoy folks!
