Short Pour
A comedy podcast with two brothers where we happen to drink beer. Each episode we explore a random topic that is somehow related to the beer. Sometimes we learn some history, debate hypothetical tournaments and rankings, and reminisce on various stories and highlights from our childhood.

Welcome back to another week of Short Pour! This week we are checking out the most generic looking can in Blended with Lumber #6. While the can is basically blank, this beer has a ton of character!
With just a metal can, we decided to check out metal detectors. We dive into how they work, and question how to trick them. We discuss the walk-through, wands, and the ones that look like mine sweepers. We have a brief story involving James Garfield, Alexander Graham-Bell, and a couple of bullets. While these airport and concert venue main stays are pretty common today, we also look at the limits of how well they can actually work. Of course, we also get distracted with debating where people place their wallets in their pants, a tale about the alarms going off in a Target, and questioning the status of one of us being bionic.
We end with a review that starts off strong but goes off the rails with a Jurassic Park reference and shout out to Wayne Knight!
Special thanks to reminds me for the title music!
