   Debbie "Double Wrister" Gripson I EP 76

   The Wasted Wagons crew is back, and let's just say this one takes a few unexpected turns! We kick things off with Saints football, breaking down the highs, the lows, and some of the questionable officiating we've seen around the league through the first three games. Then we look ahead to the highly anticipated “Domecoming” against Atlanta, as the Saints remember their first game back in the Superdome since Hurricane Katrina. From there, we check in on our fantasy football teams before heading over to the college football scene to see how everyone's favorite teams are holding up. And just when you think we've covered enough sports, Patrick and Travis take things off the rails with an on-air discussion about the fight between Nathan MacKinnon and Brandt Clarke during the Kings vs. Avalanche game. Because apparently, we just can't help ourselves when it comes to sports! We finally put the sports talk to bed and hear about an event Sean attended before Mike brings the show home with an important PSA about men's health. It's a wild ride from start to finish, but we wrap things up with a serious reminder that everyone needs to hear. 🎧 Listen, laugh, and follow along!

   Small Craft Advisory: Checkerspot Brewing Bird Is The Word

   It’s time for another Small Craft Advisory, and this week we’re heading to Baltimore for a beer that absolutely knocked it out of the park—or should we say, out of Camden Yards? ⚾🍺 We crack open Checkerspot Brewing’s “Bird Is The Word,” a Honey Kölsch inspired by Baltimore’s beloved Orioles and Ravens. Brewed with local honey malt from Bear Branch Malthouse and honey from Brick’s Bees, this one had our attention before we even took the first sip. And with a can design packed with Baltimore Orioles and Camden Yards-inspired details, it might just be one of the best-looking cans we’ve reviewed yet. But thankfully, Bird Is The Word isn’t just a pretty can. The honey aroma immediately jumps out, and that delicious honey character carries through to the palate without becoming overwhelming. The honey hits strong but stays balanced, returns again on the back end, and somehow leaves room in the middle for a perfectly balanced beer—not too light, not too heavy, just right. Russell summed it up perfectly: “Cool, crisp, and crushable.” And nobody disagreed. The biggest news, though? Our leaderboard has a NEW KING OF THE HILL! 👑🍺 After all the beers we’ve put through the Small Craft Advisory test, this one received nothing lower than a 4.6 out of 5 from the guys, giving it the highest overall rating we’ve handed out so far. Todd also gives us the rundown on Checkerspot Brewing itself, pointing out the brewery’s impressive setup and the many kid-friendly amenities that make it a great option for a family outing—even if the kids aren’t there for the beer. So grab a cold one, settle in, and find out if Bird Is The Word deserves its spot at the top of the Small Craft Advisory leaderboard. Be sure to check out Checkerspot Brewing and, as always, follow Wasted Wagons on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all of our social media platforms like you always do! 🍻

   Properly Thicc I EP 75

   The NFL season is officially underway, and the guys have plenty to talk about! We kick things off with the Saints’ hard-fought 31-30 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions. New Orleans battled all the way back after falling behind early, but the game was ultimately defined by a controversial overturned touchdown that has Saints fans questioning the officials and the NFL rulebook. From there, we jump into college football, starting with the thrilling showdown between Ohio State and Texas. The Longhorns pulled off a dramatic 24-23 victory, giving us plenty to debate about both teams and what the result could mean for the rest of the season. Todd and Patrick also weigh in on Mississippi State and Florida and their perfect starts, before we turn our attention to LSU vs. Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin’s emotional return to Oxford. With plenty of history, tension, and storylines surrounding the matchup, the guys expected an epic showdown—and the game certainly delivered. Travis then gives us some insight into a local UFC fighter who is making his way up the MMA ranks and taking the next step into the professional ranks. Outside of sports, Todd recaps his trip to Maryland with his son for Camden’s baseball tournament, while Russell and Patrick share their experience seeing The Midnight live. From the music and production to the overall atmosphere, the guys break down just how much they enjoyed the show. As always, it’s another episode packed with sports, stories, opinions, and plenty of laughs.
