Grab a pint and pull up a seat, because this episode is a straight-up hangout. Greg and Flex are talking Memorial Day misadventures, from Flex dominating the annual backyard game of HORSE (while drinking, of course) to Greg accidentally attending a fired coworker’s awkward wedding reception-only party. There’s sangria, journey cover bands, Uber pukers, meth pants (yes, really), and a whole lot of laughs. This one is packed tighter than Flex’s fridge on a Friday night.

Beers We’re Drinking:

Flex is drinking Talking About Talking by Forbidden Root – a hazy pale with IPA-level hops.
Greg cracks Green Diamonds by Other Half Brewing –an Imperial that hits bitter and thick.

Flex absolutely crushes the family basketball tourney, holding court and a triple IPA at the same time. And yes, he sent a victory pic with a plastic horse as his trophy—because that’s what legends do. Meanwhile, Greg found himself in the middle of a very small, very weird wedding reception where the bride and groom were 45 minutes late and the DJ was out here cranking the volume instead of vibes. Later in the show, things take a sharp turn into backseat disaster territory as the guys swap stories about puke in cars—who’s thrown up, who’s cleaned it up, and where Uber drivers draw the line. But the weekend got saved by a lake day, backyard beers, and a gummy-powered Journey cover band concert. Also, shoutout to Riverside (the city, not the software), and hello again to our friends in the Netherlands. Apparently, we’re big in places with excellent healthcare and dial-up speed internet.
