Throwin' Wrenches Podcast
Here is the podcast from two guys who have knowledge and love of the automotive industry and anything car related. Eric Stahl and Daryl Scott. Every episode is chock full of hard-hitting world, national, and local news. We also feature segments off the beaten path from other shows... "Cars of the weak", where we open up our virtual checkbook and mentally purchase our favorite vehicle for sale on Craigslist, Bring a Trailer, or any other online selling portal. Sometimes we break into song with Carlo Goshen... Or have a "Moment of Musk", where Eric gives us the rundown of the current doings of a Mr. Elon. Daryl's "Riffing Zone", where we dig into our inner "get your ball off my lawn" and find something to complain about. We record a few times a month and love feedback. Be sure to contact us with any questions or comments we can discuss on the show.

TBR 10th Anniversary Show

10 years kids!  Who would have thought that Groucho and CHUD could start a little show in July 2005 and keep it going consistently (fairly) for the last ten years.  Certainly not us! 

Beers on the show:  "Weez" and "Mean Old Tom" by Maine Brewing Company. 

On the Show:

  1. Jakyl intro!
  2. The Drunk Dial.
  3. The Names:  Groucho & CHUD.
  4. 10 years of progress in Craft Beer in Central Illinois.
  5. Gravyfest Shoutout!
  6. YouTube.
  7. Broadway Liquors sustained the show the first three years.
  8. Biaggi's review from years ago.
  9. Farm to Table in Central Illinois is finally coming!
  10. Live from Gravyfest!  Bubby and Doc.
  11. CHUD Rant!  Whats gone wrong with the world in the last 10 years!
  12. Trump?
  13. Bloom County is Back!!!!
  14. VHS games!!!
  15. Groucho's guilt.  TBR confessions!
  16. Grapefruit Shandy!  Killer Leinie!
  17. The Future of TBR!
  18. KITH Quote!
  19. To Reg!
  20. Shoutout to Superfans!
  21. CHUD's favorite episode:  4
  22. Still embarrassed about mocking Avery Hog Heaven.
  23. One last shoutout to Jeff and Greg at Craftbeer Radio...  And a promise to podcast longer!

Now... If you listened all the way through, you might be questioning the resolve of the owners of this show to be the beer crazed nuts that we have been in the past.  We still love beer... We still love hanging out with each other...  But the fact of the matter is...  CHUD now has a life as well!  Its going to be hard to pretend that we can get away with this much bad behavior forever!  We will still be out and about.  We will still hang and record.  But, events and launches are back burner events at this point. 

PLEASE GOD...  Isn't there anyone else in Peoria Beercasting to fill the void???  Kinda shocking that there is not!  There seems to be a beer podcast in every town over 30,000 people!

Beers purchased at some cool co-op in Vermont.  Thanks to the "dude" for help grabbing some cool beer!

Todd and Christian host us again!  The brewery is revisited after getting up and going!  Groucho and CHUD visited with Todd and Christian 9 months ago when the old paint store building was just a cold warehouse covered in dust.  Today, we go back on a "Mug Club" day to find a production brewery filled with people, music and food on the patio.  What a transformation!  The show is long, I realize that, but we do get into a lot of brewery business items at all times during the show, and I felt like it was not easily cut.  Remind me to do 2 shows next time!

Apologies ahead of time...  Todd was on a different Microphone and over-modulated to start the show.  (Groucho forgot the 4th mic)  It gets better a few minutes in.  Its like herding cats when you do a podcast with 4 people!

  10. The hours worked.... Biggest surprise.
  11. Todd is not trusted to run the "till".
  12. Adam praise!
  13. Rothgar infamy beer.
  14. Sharing the experience makes the beer better.
  15. Todd is always sick!
  16. Pink Eye Saison.  Scott Bayo Saison?
  17. We control our own destiny!  Everyday you work in a brewery is a good day!
  18. Road show!
  19. Brains and Brawn!
  20. Where does the Rock Island Trail go?
  21. Are you happy you are on Pioneer Park?

  28. THE FUTURE:  What does it hold for PBC?
  29. This summer...  Bands!  Madison Ward and the Momma Bear.  Belly Dancers.  Yoga and a flight!
  30. The Golf Room.
  31. Peoria Brewing smack talk.
  32. Food?  Its in the future for the bar.
  33. There are a few Mug Club spots open right now!  You get:  Shirt, new beers, copper mug, special bi annual events.
  34. "Dale"!  The PBC equivalent of Norm.
  35. What happens at PBC, stays at PBC!
