346: Canada sucks!

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/07/29

The boys drink and review three malt liquors, then discuss Canada. It's a beautiful place with very nice people, but politically it's the worst country in the western world. Aside from Canada ruining our weather in Maryland with their forest fires, we've been hearing too many ultra woke stories from our neighbors to the north. There's the case of the father who was fined $30,000 for "misgendering his daughter" and is currently out on bail. Canada also has a horrifying

344: Nayib Bukele and El Salvador

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/07/24

The boys drink and review Torpedo extra IPA, then discuss El Salvador and their new president, Nayib Bukele. El Salvador has been a basket case for decades. It was one of the most violent places on earth, corruption was rampant, and the drug cartels ran everything. Mr. Bukele started his political career in a small town, not far from the capitol, and quickly became very popular. But he didn't fit with either of the existing majority political parties, so he joined and essentially took over

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/07/18

The boys drink and review Crispy Boy Vienna Lager from Black Flag brewing, then discuss some fantastic recent decisions from the Supreme Court. The cases involved affirmative action, freedom of religion, student debt, and freedom of speech. Affirmative action is blatantly unconstitutional. It was passed by a liberal court that knew it was bad law, but hoped it would be a temporary fix to race issues. The Court found that things have gotten worse, not better, so it's time to be done with it

342: Modern dating and romance is a disaster

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/07/09

The boys drink and review 395 Rye from Checkerspot Brewing, then discuss the changing expectations in dating, courtship, and marriage. The traditional formula is first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage. The new formula is something like first comes sex, then comes dating, then you move in together, then you get a dog, then maybe you finally get married. What happened to "take me down to the little white church," "no huggie no kissie until you

2023/07/05

The boys drink and review a kolsch, then discuss China's Belt and Road Initiative. They start with a quick review of the Persian Royal Road and the Silk Road, then bring things into the modern era with China's desire to control worlwide commerce. In the hopes it would lead China towards freedom, the west brought China into the modern world by giving them favored trading status. That pumped cheap good into the west and revitalized China's economy. But China isn't content with being

339: Three short stories by Faulkner

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/06/30

With special guest Longinus, P&C drink and review Ruby Redbird, by Shiner, then discuss William Faulkner. They start with some brief biographical info on Faulkner, then discuss three of his most famous short stories. Two features that are common in all of Faulkner's work are (1) a lack of chronological time, and (2) concealing things from the reader. "A Rose for Emily" is a disturbing story about an old woman in a fictional southern town. It starts with her death, and then

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/06/23

The boys drink and review Crowhill's latest homebrew concoction, then discuss the recent phenomenon of aliens moving from nerd world to mainstream. Why has this happened? Is there new evidence? Some videos have surfaced that allegedly show strange craft doing impossible things. The military seems to have changed its tune in their responses to these reports. Military aviators report regular contact with strange objects. We also have high-level, credible whistleblowers who have given remarkable

337: We need to promote the trades

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/06/22

P&C drink and review Wexford Irish syle cream ale, then discuss the need for men to go into the trades, and one particular school that trains them. Our culture tends to look down on people who don't go to college, and on blue-collar work in general. But those are the guys who have practical knowledge and know how things work. Pigweed's son recently played a lacrosse game against a team from the Williamson College of the Trades, which has a very interesting program. It's like a

336: The Trump Indictment

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/06/16

The boys drink a Gold Rush cocktail, then discuss the Trump indictment. We clearly have a problem with classified documents in this country. Biden, Pence, Hillary, and Trump have all been found to behave recklessly with classified documents. There's no question Trump was very reckless. If Capt. Crowhill did any of this, she'd be in jail -- no question. Trump claims that he declassified all the documents before he took them home, but later evidence shows that's not true. Was Trump

335: Celebrate Strong Men on Father's Day

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/06/15

P&C drink and review Troeg's Hop Horizon IPA, then discuss the need for strong men. One side of the culture war wants to tell boys they're toxic, potential rapists, and the best they can do is sit quietly and not get in the girls' way, because the future is female. And if you won't sit quietly, we'll give you drugs to make sure you do. On the other side of the culture war, Sen. Josh Hawley recently wrote a book to encourage boys to grow in the manly virtues.

334: Pride Month -- The most glorious month of the year?

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/06/07

The boys drink and review Old Blarney Barley Wine, then discuss pride month. During pride month, everyone on the planet is invited -- or rather, compelled -- to celebrate the sexual proclivities of a small minority. "It's a month that vomits rainbows, glitter, and dildos," Pigweed says. Sexuality is usually considered a private thing. It seems odd for it to be a gaudy parade. Something doesn't fit here. At first, the LGB movement was about allowing homosexuals to share health

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/06/06

The boys drink and review Proper ESB, then discuss a speech against wokeness by a famous and well-known personality. The mystery speaker said things like this. “The fight for equality and against discrimination [has turned] into an aggressive dogmatism on the brink of absurdity, when great authors of the past such as Shakespeare are no longer taught in schools and universities because they … did not understand the importance of gender or race. "In Hollywood [the rules are] tighter and

P&C drink and review That Shiz Slaps by Aslin Beer Company, then discuss the amazing life and career of Sir Isaac Newton. After barely surviving childbirth, and being abandoned by his mother when he was three, Newton avoided his parent's advice to become a farmer and went on to be a student at Trinity College. He was a quiet and introverted student who spent all his time in his studies and work. Newton went home to avoid the plague. That's when the famous story of the apple occurred

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/06/01

The boys drink and review a disappointing homebrew, then discuss the 1st Amendment and the separation of church and state. The well-known phrase actually does not come from the constitution, but from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptists. The founder's main concern was to prevent the federal government from imposing a religion on the individual states, which, at the time, often had their own established religions. Today we apply the first amendment to both federal and state

2023/05/25

P&C drink and review Haze Crafy IPA from Great Lakes Brewing Company, then discuss situations where Pigweed pointed out the craziness of a position only to find that the left doubled down on craziness. Body identity disorder is a weird condition where a person believes a limb isn't really his and doesn't belong. He wants a doctor to cut it off. But of course no reputable doctor would do such a thing. How is this different from trans surgery? We're seeing a movement that

The boys drink a cocktail and discuss the significance of the Durham Report about Crossfire Hurricane -- aka, the persecution of Donald Trump The Federalist put it this way. “Imagine someone told you that in the run-up to a U.S. presidential election, the FBI tried to undermine a candidate at the behest of the opposing campaign by cooking up a false narrative of collusion with Moscow. “And let’s say this conspiracy implicated not just the FBI but also the White House, Justice Department, and CIA —

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill ·

2023/05/19

After a quick skit by the Ben Franklin players, Pigweed and Crowhill drink and review a French Toast stout, then discuss the production of EV batteries. The story goes that the planet is heating because of carbon emissions, so we have to move to electric vehicles. Energy drives prosperity and human flourishing. Right now, most energy is produced by fossil fuels, and agricultural relies on fertilizer, which requires fossil fuels. But there's a big drive to move all our vehicles to electric

Western values developed from three major sources. * Classical antiquity * The Judeo-Christian tradition * Germanic customs Roughly speaking, "western values" include the following: * Democracy * Individualism * Human rights * Free speech * Free markets * The rule of law * Secularism * Rationalism * Liberalism * Capitalism When people object to western values, which of these do they
