It's not often you get to sit down for a conversation with a candidate for elected office. Bill and I had the pleasure of doing just that with Mr. Steve Riddell, candidate for Texas House of Representatives District 92, which serves the Hurst, Euless, Bedford areas along with a portion of Grand Prairie, Arlington and Ft. Worth.
We had a great time talking with Steve. It's refreshing to have a conversation with someone intelligent and who has a good grasp of the issues. Steve gives us some insight into why he's running (hint: it has a lot to do with improving education) and how he hopes to influence change down in Austin.
Give the interview a listen. I think you will be impressed by Steve and what he has to say.
You can find out more about the candidate at his web-site, www.steveriddellfortexashouse92
Cheers, and best wishes for the coming New Year from Bill, myself, and our sometimes co-producers Mollie and Gracie.

]]>Wow, we have a lot to get into in this episode. First of all, an earthquake in Alabama where Doug Jones, a Democrat defeats Roy Moore in the special election for Senate. We discuss the pending Tax Bill before the Congress, say goodbye to Net Neutrality and review a new beer called Chief Justice Stout, from the Legal Draft Beer company in Arlington, Texas. Enjoy!

]]>On the lighter side, we discuss a new brew with a Rock and Roll connection from right here in Forth Worth, Texas. And, we're back with baseball talk. This time it's discussing the World Series where the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros are having one heck of a series. So, pop the top of a cold one, settle in and give the episode a listen. Enjoy!

]]>Also, it is with some sadness that we bid adieu to the 2017 Major League Baseball season for the Texas Rangers. Bill and I get into the ups and downs of the 2017 season (hint: lots more downs than ups) and talk a bit about the upcoming playoffs.

]]>This week, we forego the usual political, beer and baseball talk and concentrate on an organization here in the local area where Two Old Guys Drinking Beer! is produced. Pathfinders, is a non-profit organization that works with the local Drug Court in Tarrant County, Texas to provide mentoring support for inmates incarcerated for drug offenses. The organization works with male and female inmates both while they are incarcerated and upon their release. The work Pathfinders does is extremely important in our neighborhood in that it helps support those coming out of the Intensive Drug Treatment programs as they move on with their recovery and attempt to get back into a life focused on their families, their schooling and their jobs.
With us for the interview is Sydney Friedrichs, a mentoring coordinator who works with the people who are engaged in the IDT program within Tarrant County. Sydney is a remarkable young woman doing terrific work and Pathfinders is a remarkable organization worthy of looking into. Please give the interview a listen, and check out Pathfinders on the web at www.pathfinderstc.org.
Thanks and we hope you enjoy the interview.

]]>We get into all of the politics of the week, talk about some beer, and of course wind up with some baseball.
Oh, we have a special guest for the beer segment. Johnny Shipwreck himself, the composer and producer of the music used on Two Old Guys Drinking Beer stops by for a brew and to join the conversation. PS., Johnny Shipwreck is also known as Jack Sherrard, who is my son. We're happy to have him along for the ride.
Sit back, give it a listen and always, we'd love to hear from you on the website at www.2OGDB.com.

Bill and I drink and discuss Shannon's Fire Brewed Irish Red, a very good Red Ale from the good folks at the Shannon Brewing company in Keller, Texas.
Finally, we round out the episode with an up-note. Our current most favorite Texas Ranger, 3rd Baseman Adrian Beltre joined the elite hitters in Major League Baseball by obtaining his 3,000th career hit. We discuss Adrian's feat, Yu Darvish's departure to the L.A. Dodgers, and the overall status of the major leagues.
Join us won't you? First, as a warning, do yourself a favor and open a can of Shannon's Fire Brewed Irish Red before listening to the Politics segment. Bill and I wish we had, because we had a severe headache from all the nonsense we had to discuss.
As always, thanks for listening.

]]>"In summer, Belgians head to the nearest beach, while Texans typically race towards the nearest source of shade. That's because the European sun is far friendlier than the fiery ball glowing over the Lone Star State. Combat the heat with our Zomer Pils. Brewed with Belgian pilsner malt and dry hopped with a combo of Lemondrop and noble hops, this traditional pilsner is light, crisp, and refreshing with a citrusy zing. So let that sun keep on burning."
Bill and I agree with the notes from the Lakewood Brewing company. A little heavier than most Pilsners in my experience, more like an IPA. Give it a try!

Other topics covered: The ongoing saga of the Trump/Russian affair, some talk around Healthcare, and of course the most bizarre cabinet meeting in history. On the lighter side, Bill and Dennis review a new beer, Pukachev's Cobra, a craft beer from the great state of California, and finally, we discuss the national pastime and catch up on our Texas Rangers as well as taking a spin around the league. So, pop a cold one, sit back and enjoy!

]]>On a lighter side, we'll be reviewing our 2nd beer, Cotton Mill Gold Pale Ale, a local beer (at least local to us here in the Dallas, Texas area) brewed in McKinney, Texas by the good folks at Tupps Brewing. Light and crisp, Bill and I enjoyed a couple through the broadcast. It helped ease the pain from the political discussions. Also, we had two uninvited guests, my labrador mixes, Molly and Gracie, who decided to join the podcast for a couple of minutes.
Our beloved and beleaguered Texas Rangers had a 10 game winning streak, and look poised to get back in the division race. Their strong level of play while three of the big stars are on the disabled list is a topic of discussion in the baseball segment.
We hope you like Episode 3. Thanks!
