2 Raw & Gabe Bravo sit in to help wrap up 2019 and the entire decade. We go over music, movies, who's married and who isn't. This is a hotass cast so turn on, tune in and drop out..... I'm still drunk from this episode.
Sat down with Dende & Izzar Thomas on the eve of the best booked show this year HTX BUTTERFLY FEST. Dende answers all my questions without any problems what so ever. He's not very secretive at all.
This week i sat down with UFC Heavyweight Juan Adams for an hour. The first twenty minutes or so we talked mainly about movies. Juan is a big movie guy so it was easy for us to get lost in conversation. He then spoke candidly about his recent loss to Greg Hardy on the most recent ESPN card. We also talked about where he's at mentally, what he's doing in his personal life to remedy his woes and get back on track, and what his Mortal Kombat Fatality would be.
All this and more over a few drinks!
Rocky Banks joins us for our 3 year podiversary, which isn't a word.
I sit down with Rocky Banks to talk about the hardships he's faced in life, the music he's made and where it's taking him, major life events, Jay Z, Ice Cream Lickers, and we even had time to sit with uncle Bartholomew Banks where he let's the album title slip! Tune in!
This week we were joined by show regular Juan 'The Kraken' Adams and the local Houston artist who made his walkout song, Kayo da Konspiracy. They both tell us the story of how they met and eventually ended up working together for this song to be Juan's official walkout music for his UFC fights. Juan also fills us in on how he has been fitting in with the UFC over his time with the company as well as how he bounces back from his first professional loss. We look forward to seeing what a pissed off Kraken does in his next fight, which has yet to be announced at the moment. Kayo also gives us a glimpse into what's next for his career and what videos and projects he has lined up this year.

Our good friends from Houston progressive metal band 'Agamemnon' came by the show to drink some beer, recap their past tour, and talk new music & videos. Consisting of 4 talented musicians (Thomas on bass, Tim & Aaron on guitars, and Jon on drums) they have been able to create music that is definitive to its style while being able to reach all crowds, even from outside of the metal fanbase. They are an example of music made well on all fronts, not a single piece of their group slacks or gets left behind and at a live show they are something to really take in and pay attention. Their first album was self titled and can be found at the link provided below as well as their newest single. Be on the lookout for all things Agamemnon because to sleep on them would only be a disservice to yourself. We couldn't do a Houston beer podcast with a metal band on without including Brash Brewing! Robbie came out on behalf of the entire crew and brought a slew of their untouchable lineup of beers. Brash burst on the scene as hard as a brewery possibly can and within their first year of business founded a deep root in the city. With some of the best and most aggressive IPAs and stouts out in the state of Texas it's easy to say Brash has yet to miss on a single beer. While they thrive in the extremely hoppy and coffee they have homered on their kettle sour with TRVE Brewing from Denver, as well as Knutsens Farm, their take on Saint Arnold's classic 'Weedwacker'. The Houston beer culture has become a beast over the past 5 years and the emergence of Brash has taken it to even further heights. Go to the brewery for a full on experience of arcade games, heavy metal, and pint of Pussy Wagon!
Agamemnon can be found on all social media under: AgamemnonHTX
Their music can be found at: https://agamemnonhtx.bandcamp.com/
Brash can be found on Facebook at Brash brewing company and on twitter @brashbeer
Local rapper Noie J and producer Baker Yung came by the show and we had a great conversation about making music that really inspires people when they listen to it and what goes into making that music. Baker has quickly become one of the city's hottest producers working with all of your favorite rappers and producing almost all of Noie J's music. After his album 'Do You Feel It?' Noie has seen a huge pop and it's something he knew would happen since day 1. He has a confidence in his vision that can't be shaken and the right mindset to make it happen so get used Baker Yung and Noie J before it's too late!

James from Sixpoint Brewing came on the show to discuss his experience in the Houston craft beer scene over the past decade and how it's translated to his role with Sixpoint. He brought by their entire core group of beers: Sweet Action, Resin, The Crisp, Bengali, as well as their limited release Puff and we thoroughly enjoyed quite a few of each leading to several other topics of conversation and a Ray Romano impression. Join him at Moontower Inn July 25th to celebrate Matt LeBlanc's birthday! We also had rapper Hot Peez, Louisiana transplant and half of the duo Don P with Donnie Houston, come through and talk about his previous projects and the inspiration behind the Lagniappe EP. Peez will be releasing a solo project very soon so be on the lookout!

It's time Houston wakes the fuck up on the unparalleled dope shit coming up in this city before it passes you up and there was no better example of that than Bloomfest II. The Eat Good & Prosper team put together their festival with the goal to bring together some of the greatest talents in the city with performances from DJ Mr. Rogers, OG Bobby Billions, OG Che$$, Noie J, and Young Black Willie Nelson himself: Tim Woods. This was a concert to celebrate everything Tim and his entire team are about, turning up with the family and enjoying the vibes they create with their own hard work. Going against the grain the whole EGP team understands it's up to them to be the voice for the long list of talent not being featured by the city's publications and Bloomfest 2 was a perfect example of what's happening that too many are still sleep on. The energy was high all night and everyone in attendance was there for a productive reason and the outcome was a night unlike any other in the city of Houston.

They take a few German styles and put an American spin on them and come out with a great result.

My'Key Iso also came by to discuss his music and upcoming project 'Last Name Iso' and what to expect from it. My'Key does a lot of story telling in his songs and takes us into the process of making music from those stories. The opening/closing track of this episode is My'Key's take on G.O.M.D. which can be found on his SoundCloud and youtube. Be on the lookout for what's next from both of them and check out what they've already been up to:

From Inglewood to Houston Freddy ING has been making great music for years and just recently released his best project yet with 'In the Name of God'. With help from a few people mentioned in this episode and the hard work he puts in rapping, singing, and producing Freddy truly orchestrated an entire collection of un-skippable songs. We also had Brent Bailey from Whole Foods come by and discuss the Brewfest his company was a part of, as well as New England IPAs in Houston, and also the feelings that come with a brewery selling out. Somehow Brent was first to make his instagram name 'craftbeerhouston' so give him a follow and check out the newest beers he's enjoying while listening to some vinyls. Also, apparently he loves pandas.

Houston's oldest craft brewery Saint Arnold was our guest this week. Their sales rep and previous guest Ben came by to discuss their newest beers to hit taps and shelves. We started on the Pub Crawl Pale Ale which is the perfect beer for the occasion it's named after, light alcohol content with a ton of flavor. Secondly we went over their Raspberry AF, a delicious fruited kettle sour which is a take on their now discontinued Boiler Room Berliner Weisse. Catch both at your favorite bars and stores!

Gabe is one of the owners of Houston's most popular comedy venue 'The Secret Group' and also hosts several events around town such as the GODDAMNIT! Comedy Show on Thursdays at Avant Garden. Along with several stand up acts and comedy shows The Secret Group is also a great bar to hang out at any night of the week with several other events and specials. Briley has been selling Community beer in Houston for about a year now and has quickly turned some of their flagship beers into must haves in all respected beer bars around town. She came through with their new Oaked Mosaic, an IPA aged with oak spirals to impart some interesting additional flavors to the hop character. Look for events weekly around town and expect to see Briley there hosting them as well as at several beer festivals this summer!
