About this episode

The brothers discuss the Giants' sweep of the Astros, player performances, and share cocktail recipes.

Three mostly well played games is a sweep in my book! The brothers react to the Astros series: Drew Gilbert tries his best, Carson Wisenhunt rejects small beach balls, and Willy Adames is a macho man. Then they look over the roster and pretend there are guys they'd rather see than others. Wow. On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Bitter 75 while Matthew is drinking #3 Cup. Recipes below. Bitter 75 2 oz Gin 1 oz Lemon Juice 3/4 oz Simple Syrup 3-4 oz Sparkling Wine 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters Add gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and bitters to a shaker with ice. Shake until chilled. Double strain into to a champagne flute.
