podcast· 1h 29m· S6E87Stoner Surf Culture becomes Hell's Angel's Meth Culture, Arrested Twice in ONE Day, Hallucinating About Rob Dyrdek?? Gunnar's Story Will Entertain and Inspire You
Gunnar grew up in what looked like the perfect family - until addiction slowly unraveled everything. After his parents fell deeper into their own substance use, his mother disappeared without a word, leaving Gunnar to navigate a childhood suddenly marked by instability and pain. By his teens, he turned to meth and heroin, beginning a long cycle of drug court, jail stays, and surviving on the streets of downtown San Diego. But Gunnar’s story didn’t end there. Through grit, recovery, and a community that believed in him, he rebuilt his life from the ground up. Now three years sober, Gunnar has graduated college and applied to graduate school with a mission: to advocate for the homeless community he once belonged to and push for real policy change. This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, redemption, and the impact of turning lived experience into purpose.

Ska Brewing Brings West Coast IPA Back—With a Modern Hop Twist
Ska Brewing is stepping back into West Coast IPA territory—but they’re not just revisiting the past. They’re modernizing it. Starting this week, Ska West Coast IPA is officially hitting shelves across multiple states, marking the Durango brewery’s bold return to a style that helped define American craft beer. The beer debuted over Super Bowl weekend at Ska’s World Headquarters in Colorado, and now it’s rolling out year-round on draft and in cans across Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, New Mexico, and Utah. For those who have followed Ska Brewing over the years, this move feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Ska was home to Colorado’s OG canned IPA, Modus Hoperandi—a beer that embodied the original West Coast IPA vibe: dank aromatics, assertive bitterness, amber color, and a full-bodied backbone. That was the era of palate-wreckers and unapologetic IBUs. But today’s West Coast IPA has evolved—and Ska’s new release reflects that shift. Ska West Coast IPA leans into the modern interpretat

videoSingle Vineyard vs Estate Wine
Why does one bottle of wine cost $60 while another from the same producer costs $150? In this episode of Got Somme, we compare two Pinot Noir wines from the wonderful Paringa Estate in the Mornington Peninsula to answer one of the most common questions wine drinkers ask: Are single vineyard wines actually better than estate wines?

videoOremus 2017 Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos Hungary Sweet Wine Review
Description prepared by Chat GPT. When Vega Sicilia acquired the Oremus estate in 1993, following the fall of communism and the privatization of wineries in Tokaj, it marked the beginning of a renaissance for one of the world’s most historic sweet wines. The 2017 Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a luminous expression of that revival—deeply rooted in centuries-old tradition, yet polished with modern precision. Aszú—often called the “wine of tears”—is only possible in exceptional years. In 2017, late-summer rains encouraged the swelling of the berries, and warm sun with autumn winds fostered the development of Botrytis cinerea, the noble rot that concentrates sugars, acidity, and flavor. The shriveled Aszú berries are harvested individually and measured in 23-kg panniers known as puttonyos. For this 5 Puttonyos wine, five panniers of these noble berries are macerated with fresh must in a traditional Gönc barrel. After one to two days of maceration and gentle pressing, fermentation begins—a s
