Join us as we sip on Alpine Beer Co's Dankster's Paradise.

The best part was, the seats were a surprise.

Mike also admits to being spoiled by having good seats at sporting events.

The Brewmance cracks open a beer and talks about gratitude and the value of me time as well.

We all need it. Where do you get your me time? What do you use it for? To recharge?

Join in.

Mike had an interesting medical experience this week. He explains how one doctor didn't want to give him medication. So he found one that did.

This leads to a broader discussion about how Big Pharma fueled modern addictions leading to record overdose deaths.

That turns into a discussion about the War On Drugs. Rob loves this topic because the war has been lost and has led to the erosion of your right to be secure in your person, places, and things.

We grab Mother Road's Tenth Anniversary Ale, Ten, to have this discussion. Join us.

Dr. Scheeringa says no. His new book, The Trouble with Trauma: The Search to Discover How Beliefs Become Facts, comes out March 1st.

This is a perfect discussion to have over a beer on The Brewmance.

Mike Russell and Rob Hunter not only ask Dr. Scheeringa about that, we get into the power of your beliefs.

Your beliefs are the most important thing in your life, which is why the belief that trauma is permanent could be detrimental.

The Brewmance gets personal this episode. Rob talks about his own limiting beliefs and how he is combating those. Mike tells you about his two head surgeries and how that impacts his daily life.

The Brewmance drinks beers sent by Mike's older brother, Big Brother Brew Steve. The beer is from Sycamore Brewing (Charlotte, NC). It's called Mountain Candy.

Join us for this very enlightening conversation. You'll learn a lot about the power your beliefs have and how you can change them whenever you want...with a little (or a lot of) inner work.

The Brewmance grabs a craft beer and talks about it. Mike Russell & Rob Hunter also talk about the baseball Hall of Fame selections.

In short, they are disappointing and ignoring reality to make a fake moral stand.

Also, we chat about Whoopi Goldberg after she was suspended by The View because of comments she made about the Holocaust. ABC missed the mark on this learning opportunity.

Our beers this week:

Mike sips Second Chance Brewing's Clever Hoppier Name.

Rob tries Green Flash Brewing's Soul Style IPA.

Join us.

From there we talk about the weird Parotitic test we put on ourselves and how other boycotts and hashtags have failed.

The Brewmance also talks about looking for a way out of COVID. It seems that the politicians and media are looking for the off-ramp.

Mike brought Rob some bison chili this week. Bison Mike hunted. Is there a difference eating meat from an animal you watched die? We discuss over a beer. Mike grabs El Cumbre's Project Dank, while Rob sips two. Huss Koffee Kolsch and State 48's Sound of Freedom.

Join the conversation.

What do we think this many years later? Let's grab a beer and talk about the second gunman on the grassy knoll.

Is Rob convinced? Are you? Mike makes his case. Join us over a beer. This week Mike tries Belching Beaver's, Dichotomy, a double IPA.

Rob tries two Clown Shoes offerings.

It ended, well paused, when Rob's hand was cut and bloodied.

Some people are now openly talking about living to be 150. Is that something you'd want to do? We discuss.

The average male gives himself a score of 5.9 on an imaginary attractiveness scale. Really? That low. What would you rate yourself? Our scores are on the podcast.

More and more celebrities are getting into the craft beer business. Should we welcome them?

Join The Brewmance for open-minded, honest conversations meant to bring people together. This week we drink two different beers. Rob goes with Dogfish Head's Slightly Mighty Low-Cal IPA. Mike goes with a collaboration from Ale Smith Brewing and Alvadaro Street Brewing called Oh So Under.

Cheers.

He runs it the way he wants. Rickety Cricket's beers and pizza names are fantastic innuendos.

Including Aiming Oil, the beer Mike Russell and Rob Hunter drink while chatting with Terry.

We chat about dirty names, being yourself, and running a business. Terry also tells us a little about his past being an Arizona State Trooper.

Terry served in a part of the state where backup may be 90 minutes away. Imagine that?

This is a fun podcast that comes with a warning. If innuendos aren't your thing, this one won't be for you.

If you want a few laughs, join in.

Terry, Lady Brewmance, and Rob had a great conversation about life, business, and innovation. And Terry brought us Rickety Cricket's Milk Stout called Tits On A Goose.

Yup.

Listen as we dance around that name on the podcast and radio show. We replay the conversation with Terry and get into tipping around the holidays.

Do you tip more? Or is there too much tip guilt? Join in.

We also run through traveling around the holidays and rate and review Tits On A Goose.

Route 66 showcases the old and the new, the wonders of innovation, what gets left behind and having a conversation with an anarchist along the way.

It's a fun episode.

We also talk about giving Christmas gifts.

Grab a beer and join in.

It's been a few weeks because of COVID. The pandemic got us. Mike caught it and Rob's wife, Lady Brewmance, caught it.

We discuss how we dealt with it and how Rob avoided it.

Also, Mike now has his tattoo. What was that experience like? And gift-giving. Don't rob people of the joy of giving gifts.

Grab a beer and join in. Mike drinks Maine Beer Company's 'Lunch' IPA. Rob grabs Mother Road Tower Station.

Thanksgiving 2021 is going to be most expensive yet. Will it impact you this year? And is this a good year to change something up, shake up your traditions?

We think so.

The Brewmance also weighs in on the bottle shop versus the big box stores debate.

Join in as Mike sips on an out-of-date Stone Brewing's Drink By 07.04.21 he just bought this week. Rob grabs Alaskan Brewing Company's Amber.

Cheers.

And by in it we mean get killed in it. Ha. It was a ton of fun to shoot. The shoot made us thankful for the amount of work it takes to create great art.

Join us as we explain. Mike and Rob also weigh in on Halloween for adults and the shooting death on the set of 'Rust.'

Also, Mike is going to pull the trigger and get his first tattoo at 46. Rob asks him all about it as we sip on Helton Brewing's Northeast IPA.

Mike Russell and Rob Hunter tell you all about the work part of the hunt. Processing the meat, dropping it off, and picking it up.

Over a beer, they also discuss what they would change if they could and movie quotes.

Join us.

This week Mike Russell and Rob Hunter try something new. Huss Brewing's Arizona Ranch Water. It's not a beer. It's technically a seltzer.

Yup. Mike has resisted. Until now. Join us to find out what he thinks. Mike & Rob also discuss with you an article saying American's should lower our expectations. The Brewmance takes issue with that. They'll explain why.

They also discuss Dave Chappelle's new comedy special and how people are so upset about it. Should they be?

And missing white girl syndrome and how the Gabby Petitio, Brian Laundrie case caught Mike's attention.

Join in! Cheers.

It was a life-changing event.

Mike and Rob explain why. For Mike the bison was a bucket list hunt. For Rob, it was his first big game hunt.

He was nervous going in. How is he feeling now? What about Mike?

We also bring Earn Your Booze CEO Justin Cross, Camping Chad, Clysdale Manhatten Founder Ryan Nelson, and Mother Road's Oliver Adams with us.

You'll hear their stories. Two went hunting. Two did not.

We also say hi to Canyon Coolers Founder Jason Costello talks about his new collaboration beer with Mother Road Brewing.

This podcast is deep and existential as we discuss this life-changing event. You'll hear how it changed us and whether or not we will hunt again in the future.

We recorded this podcast live at Mother Road Brewing in Flagstaff, AZ while drinking Tower Station IPA and Canyon Cooler's collaboration, Colorado Confluence.

This week they discuss lessons learned from talking with Malcolm Alexandr and Ryan Hale, hosts of the Unfiltered Gems podcast. It was such a great, open-minded conversation we want there to be more conversations just like it.

Additionally, the creator of Slavo Salt seasonings (Code Word BREW will save you 15%), joined Mike on the GO Show to talk about his six-day elk hunt. Mike recounts the story.

The Brewmance also talks about the importance of recharging and wonder if America will ever be the same after COVID.

Join in. Subscribe, rate, and review. Cheers.

Today, on The Brewmance podcast we are joined by two of our favorite people, Malcolm Alexandr and Ryan Hale as they launch their new podcast, Unfiltered Gems.

Of course, we grab a beer. Mike drinks Pizza Port's Chronic (Red) Ale. Rob grabs a El Segundo Brewing's The 105 IPA.

Celebrate the outdoors with us with a beer of your own. Cheers.

Thriller author Brad Thor stops by The Brewmance podcast to chat with Mike and Rob about his 21st book, Black Ice.

It's the 20th book in his Scott Harvath series. Black Ice debuted at #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List.

Brad is a phenomenal guy.

Knowing he has many friends in the CIA and Special Forces we ask him what keeps up at night. His answers are interesting as Brad is worried about the division in this country.

Coincidentally, The Brewmance is here to bring people together for well-crafted conversation over a drink or two.

Mike & Rob sip Alesmith Brewing's Sublime Mexican Lager.

They also ask Brad about how he consistently churns out best seller after best seller, year after year.

He also tells about his attempt to run for President in 2020. It's a hilarious story.

And we have a little chat about bourbon.

Pre-Covid, Brad would come out to Scottsdale for a book signing at The Poisoned Pen every year. But, because events are virtual that didn't this year. However, The Poisoned Pen is the only book store in the country where you can get a hand-held autographed copy of Black Ice. Click here to get one (if there are any left).

For more on Brad Thor head here.

You've heard people tell you before to chase your dreams. But, few people actually do that, especially if they have a good career lined up in front of them.

Meet Ryan Nelson.

He actually left his career as a lawyer to pursue his passions of comedy, writing, and general creativity.

What compelled Ryan to leave the comfy law firm life and start a multi-media company called Clydesdale Manhattan and an apparel company called Wicked Bass?

We wanted to know and wanted to see how the journey is going. As you'll listen you will understand why Ryan made the move. You can tell he's happy tapping into his creativity.

This is a great combo episode. We talk not only about chasing your dreams, but we get a chance to talk about the outdoors as well. It's The Brewmance and GO Show (our outdoor-focused show) working together.

Brian also has stepped back from brewing craft beer so he can focus completely on his business owner role.

If you are a small business owner you will learn a lot from Brian.
