e118: Shiner Shenanigans

Welcome back to Cartridge and Quest, Episode 118! Averagetrav and Foodie Mike C dive into nostalgia and current topics.

• Beer & Identity: Averagetrav rates Shiner Draft Bock a perfect 5. They discuss if the podcast is a "nostalgia retro" or "nerd podcast," aiming to cover how things shaped them and how tastes changed, while also bringing in modern approaches.
• Sponsors:

• Windows 98 (1998): First "Internet centric" computer.
• Firefox 3 (2008): 8.3 million downloads in 24 hours.
• Apple vs. Android: Debate over USB-C consistency, charging bricks, and Apple catching up to Android features (e.g., call screening).
• Final Fantasy Tactics (1997): PS RPG. Foodie Mike C asks listeners about a potential in-game card game.
• GBA Video Cartridges (2004): Up to 90 mins of TV shows on cartridges.
• Conundrum: A "bonafide Nintendo 64 Legend" with a "big friendly bear and a feathered buddy" collecting items to defeat a "rhyming witch." Answer: B-K.
• Pokemon TCG & Switch 2: Foodie Mike C is into TCG. Averagetrav finds Switch 2 good for travel, prefers Xbox at home, shares hotel Wi-Fi hack.

• Movies:
• Wrestling: WCW storyline continues with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash ("the Outsiders") powerbombing Eric Bischoff. They challenge WCW's "best three" (Sting, Lex Luger, Macho Man Randy Savage), building anticipation for the "third man."

• Music: Roxette - "It Must Have Been Love" (1990); Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer (1992); Christina Aguilera - "Genie in a Bottle" (1999); Metallica (1998) hot rod video; Limp Bizkit - "Nookie" (Fred Durst's "dad" persona).
• Foodie Mike C's Cooking Tips: Uses charcoal chimneys for consistent heat and offset cooking. Advises against too much sugar in rubs for long cooks. Recommends Kinder's products and Worcestershire sauce for darker bark. Emphasizes experimentation and finishing salt on steak.
