We're right there with you, sharing in the heartbreak and history of this classic brew that's seen more ups and downs than our beloved Cubs! From its inception in 1902, its golden era as the official beer of the Cubs, to its bankruptcy and miraculous revival by Pabst Brewing, we pour out our emotions over Heilman's Old Style beer.
But that's not the only comeback story we have on tap! We're discussing the rollercoaster ride of NFL teams and players – and this one's a double whammy.

We even got around to watching Netflix's controversial new documentary on Johnny Manziel's tumultuous stint with the Browns.
And because all that adrenaline needs some serious hydration, we're rounding off our conversation with a look at how beverages - from alkaline water to age-old ales - can aid physical activity and training. We'll even take you back in time as we trace the evolution of beer and its journey from being a humble preservative to the rockstar of beverages in today's world.

Hold on to your seats as we dissect the details, the potential consequences, and the tumult it has caused. As we wrap up, we take a moment to reflect on the risks of betting big and what it would take to place a $450,000 wager.
