Welcome back to another episode of the Stuck in Beta podcast! This week, Josh and Greg are diving into an absolute marathon session covering the glitches of modern adulthood, 90s nostalgia, and a massive update on the 134-year-old house flip.

We kick things off with a taste test of a very questionable banana-flavored beer, talk about the wild success of a viral drawing stencil video, and run down a packed Las Vegas itinerary. Then, we get into the heavy hitters: what exactly is a “Xennial,” why growing up analog was actually a superpower, and our thoughts on the wild new trailer for the live-action Masters of the Universe movie.

Finally, we head into the “How to Fix It” workshop for a massive DIY update. From opening a literal “can of worms” with 100-year-old knob-and-tube wiring, to fighting rusty spark plugs and dealing with a haunted refrigerator, there is a lot to catch up on.

Grab a craft beer, pull up a chair, and let’s get into it!
