Notes: Sorry to start the show on a sad note, but Dio is one of those guys that simply can’t die. He was rocking as hard into his 60′s as guys more than half his age. He was one of the pioneers of metal, having played in Black Sabbath and Rainbow back in the ’70s and early ’80s before going solo. RIP Dio. More frustrating financial news. Some funny and crazy WTF stories this week. We sampled some international brews – Famosa lager from Guatemala and Quilmes pilsner from Argentina. Both got thumbs up for different reasons. Music this week is supplied by Steve Stevens and Obituary. We really enjoyed making this show, we hope you enjoyed listening to it.

Notes: I think this is our longest show so far, we just keep packing it with articles and beer and music! All kinds of stuff going on in the news. Interesting to hear the two versions of the same story and how the media can manipulate the facts to give you completely different viewpoints. This sort of stuff goes on every day, we help you see through it. We had an impromptu comparison of last week’s beer, Shock Top, with a local microbrew, Hangar 24. What a disappointment on so many levels! Music from The Haunted (from Sweden) and Tool (not from Sweden). Don’t forget to leave a comment about this show.

Ferocious….. or funny?
What is that girl looking at? I vote “The Grim Reaper”
Just a note: that girl’s head could totally fit in that dog’s mouth. Serious.
World record: Guy stuffs 16 cockroaches in his mouth
From the Lansing State Journal:
“Sean Murphy, an employee at Preuss Pets in Lansing, has unofficially broken a world record. Murphy successfully managed to fit 16 Madagascar hissing cockroaches into his mouth for a total of 10 seconds Friday night at the Old Town pet store. The current world record is 11 cockroaches. “My first thought was I can beat that” said Murphy. “Eleven doesn’t seem like that many.” Murphy initially stopped at 12 cockroaches and waited the official 10 seconds, but then continued until he reached 16. “I’ve never gotten it in one try so that was a big surprise,” he said. “Let’s see if anyone can match that within the next year and maybe next Halloween I’ll shoot for 20.”
Wait, just in case you missed this: “I’ve never gotten it in one try”. So this guy has done this before…. probably many times. I’ll bet he’s a real hit with the ladies.
Woman sees Rudolph in her porkchop
Via myfox8.com:
“It might not be worth as much as a grilled cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary, but a North Carolina woman believes she’s found a well-known Christmas character in her pork chop. Sue Church stopped by the FOX8 studios on Tuesday morning to show us a pork chop that resembles Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Some have suggested the meat actually resembles the antler-wearing dog in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The aforementioned grilled cheese sandwich fetched $28,000 in an eBay auction in 2004, a decade after it was discovered. What do you think Sue’s pork chop looks like?”
You can call it whatever you want, but it looks like she already tried to eat it. Many times.
Gas too expensive for your race car? No problem, use chocolate instead
From Ashton Kutcher via Twitter:
World-first Sustainable Racing Car Runs On Chocolate, To Take On Formula 3
“The car is made from woven flax, recycled carbon fibre, recycled resin and carrot pulp for the steering wheel. It runs on biofuel made from chocolate and animal fats and is lubricated with plant oils.” This sort of thing would never go over well in Nascar. Just sayin’
