Two Drinks In Again
Episode 46 - Ninety-Dollar Beers, Ten-Dollar Opinions
The receipt said ninety dollars for two beers, and somehow that became the perfect starting point: the cost of being a fan, the value of a great night, and the way sports can still make us feel like kids. We break down UT–Duke from the seats, and it didn’t play like an exhibition. Duke’s second-half pulse felt inevitable, the crowd was all-in, and we came home with takes on rotations, the Boozer impact, and why Scheyer’s recruiting plus the Brotherhood might be the most durable asset in college hoops.
The conversation keeps moving because life does. Duke football’s whiplash weeks, a controversial call that flipped a result, and the reality that defense and composure decide November. Then it’s concert season—Toto, Rod Stewart, Journey, Joe Jackson—and the truth that one show turns into five when nostalgia starts talking. We swap venue lore, admit our irrational loyalties, and argue the merits of Thompson-Boling by any name.
Off the court, work stays loud: insurance transitions, triple-net leases, failing AC units, x-ray cables, and a year of fixes that refuse to line up. We talk about running a practice like a team—triage first, patience next, receipts everywhere. The holidays crash the calendar, but the tree goes up early for a reason. Music rituals, a Chris Squire winter spin, and a short list of gifts that actually hit help steady the pace.
And yes, we rant. Gym campers who live on machines with their phones. Track walkers clogging the inside lane. Merger roulette on the highway. We laugh because it’s absurd, but we’re serious about it too: small courtesies are not optional. They’re the grease that keeps a city, a gym, and a game night running. We close with a nod to auditions, a pour of Woodford vs a Speyside scotch, and a simple rule that still works: be decent.
If you’re here for honest sports chatter, life in the trenches, and a few laughs that bite, you’re in the right place. Listen, subscribe, share with a friend who loves a good second-half surge, and tell us your own arena shock story in a review.
