Join the Mixed Six Discord Server, now open to the public! Over the course of this podcast’s run, I recorded a lot of sound tests, outtakes, and fun bits. On the Way to the Bar is a compilation of these bits. Enjoy and thank you for listening and supporting us over these last six years. This was originally going to be a Christmas gift for the Mixed Six community, but this serves as a fitting epilogue for the Mixed Six podcast. I loved making the podcast and I know whenever I reminisce about it, I’ll listen to this compilation. In the coming days, I’ll create an Archive.org mirror of all the episodes, both public and Patreon-exclusive podcasts, so if you missed any episodes, you can find them. I’ll leave the website and feed up as well. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Please join us on the Discord to catch up and share your favorite moments from the show.

Episode 90: Post-Dignity

Board games. Beer. Pop culture. And a little drunken philosophy.

Honestly, this is like hanging out with a couple friends who are busy tackling tough moral dilemnas... like, if you had to form a group to participate on The Great British Baking Show, using only members of The Avengers, who would you choose?,

So, nerd topics. And beer.  6 topics per ep, 6 beers per ep.  Personally, I&#39;m not a beer guy, but I&#39;m trying them now, and some are stunningly good.

At best, OK.

The Mixed Six Podcast

If the wheat has you down, do we ever have an episode for you. In an effort to help our gluten intolerant loved ones, this episode is all gluten-free beer. We can’t promise gluten-free conversation though: we say the word a lot. Gluten gluten gluten. Daura Damm: In Dissecting Our Fun, it’s time we tackle our first Legacy-type game with T.I.M.E. Stories. Worth the hype? Find out! Redbridge Gluten-free Sourgham Beer:  James D wants to know what drinks to pair with a viewing of the original Star Wars trilogy. The Armchair Director makes recommendations. Shandy Daura Damm: Is early-access and DLC the culprit in ruining ‘good games?’ Ready Player Drunk thinks the issue is a bit more complicated. Omission Brewing Co. IPA: In Mixed Six Mock Draft, we have to populate a tribe for the reality team Survivor using only philosophers. Let us know who one #TeamCaleb or #Team Spencer! Omission Brewing Co. Lager: Ask Mixed Six wants to know about the one nerdy subculture you wished you hadn’t missed out on. Spencer makes a terrible mistake! New Belgium Brewing’s Glutiny Pale Ale: Finally Drunk Enough to pontificate about the canon, we ponder whether or not there is any value in teaching philosophy to students before they get to university.  Songs by 2mello: swooning melody dance of life window sleeper deeper love Songs by Willbe forever himalya divided people

Ep. 31: INSERT GLUTEN PUN HERE

Choose the form of your destroyer. The Destiny 2 servers were down for maintenance, so we managed to get a podcast out in-between fixes.

Narragansett’s Lovecraft The Temple: Fittingly for the beer, Brownie is concerned about drowning in Cthulhu games and other thematic gluts. A guy who wrote a zombie game in 2017 gives his opinion in Dissecting Our Fun. Sun King Brewery King’s Reserve: In This Was a Mistake, we unpack the mistakes your job’s dress code is likely making. Boulevard’s Dark Truth: Ask Mixed Six wants to know how to persuade people. Aside from paying $4 to have a question answered, we give additional advice. Urban Chestnut’s Moon Monkey: No one asked for it, but Mixed Six Mock Draft is back with fictional characters used to teach core subjects in a high school.  Abita To-Gose: In Getting Lit(erature), Spencer and Caleb coin a new genre called “The Trash Canon” and populate its loathsome shelves. Alltech’s Lexington Brewing Co.’s Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale: Finally Drunk Enough, we count our calories and lament the difficulties of eating a balanced media diet.

Ep. 23: Mrs. Gas-Spewing Metal Orb

I PROMISE YOU THIS IS EPISODE 19. We recorded this before realizing that we have to do a separate numbering system for the Patreon extras, so forgive our mislabeling. As you know, Producer Ross does not edit things. Still high off the thrill of hitting our first Patreon benchmark, we made a terrible choice and decided to do an episode with beer of…questionable craft credentials. Hopefully the conversation isn’t dependent upon how our tastebuds are feeling. Listen to yourself and find out! Anheuser Busch’s Natural Light: In Dissecting Our Fun, we jump back on that science game jam and play Evolution. It’s like Spore but not terrible! Anheuser Busch’s Busch Light: Matt suggested we talk about our Top 3 2000’s pop songs; don’t mind if we do! We’re off to the Jukebox in Back. Michelob Ultra: In Ask Mixed Six, Ben and Angie want to know how friendships change in the digital age. Bud Light: In our 2nd Mixed Six Mock Draft, we staff the best fictional band we can out of the best fictional musicians. Miller Lite: We talk about our top 3 old TV shows (80’s or older) in this week’s Binge Binger. Coors Light: First off, no one is ever Drunk Enough for this beer. Secondly, we talk about the relationship between vanity and ethics. You know…light-hearted party talk.  Songs  Elegant Jazz by Dr. Joy Old Ways by Frank Rawel Kickback in Time by Agramusic Grandma’s Memory by Avi Rosenfeld Grape by Nooto Sound Design On the Beach in a Dreay Night by Giocol Pixel by Maurio Mazzoli

Ep. 17: Ray of Light Beers

I already named an episode based off a bad hot dog pun…then Spencer did this rating system. Frankly, I’m at a loss. I’ve just been totally sabotaged. Let’s get this over with. The episode is pretty okay, I guess. Blue Mountain Barrel House Series Dark Hollow: Imperial Stout Aged in Oak Bourbon Barrels: In Dissecting Our Fun, we’ve played Mountains of Madness and enjoyed it. We debate whether it’s really a Lovecraftian game at all, or if perhaps it is the best Lovecraftian board game. Smartmouth Brewing Company Chaotic Neutral IPA: Armchair Director makes a case for movies destroyed by a single casting choice. Kindred Spirit Brewing Strawberry Milkshake Ale: Ale brewed with fruit and lactose: In Sportsplainer, Spencer gives us nerds some talking points so we can camouflage ourselves in the endless Lebron James v. Michael Jordan debate. Virginia Beer Co Wrenish Rye: In the tradition of The Toys That Made Us, James Burns Asks Mixed Six about the toys that made them. Alewerks Brewing Company Paycheck Porter Robust American Porter with Rich Character: The Mixed Six Mock Draft has to cast a new version of Scooby-Doo using only rock musicians. Evolution Craft Brewing’s Pine’hop’le Pineapple India Pale Ale: Where is your line for sharing? How do we draw it? Drunk Enough tries to examine the border before tripping over it.  Songs, Tracks 2-8: https://brettklassen.bandcamp.com/album/it-was-all-a-dream-beat-tape

Ep. 40: The Scooby Snacks are Heroin

We’re finally back to recording after a long June of convention travel. We also have a guest this episode! Long-time collaborator Maddy flew in from Australia to hang with us. She’s a bit too jet-lagged to say much this episode, but she’ll be back with more to say in the future once she’s acclimated to our harsh Missouri climate. Elevator Brewing Company Bleeding Buckeye Red Ale: The MX6 Game Jam is back as we try to turn an actual sport into a tabletop board game as absurdly as possible.  Mt Carmel Brewing Company Hibiscus Blueberry Blonde: In We Make a Pair, we link fantasy races to the real-world beers they would obviously love. Great Lakes Brewing Co. Eliot Ness Amber Lager: Humanities Fight discusses the possibility of philosophical change through the lens of lightbulb jokes. This one got a little weird… Maumee Bay Brewing Co Total Eclipse Breakfast Stout: The fans Ask Mixed Six about the ethics of “ghosting.” Thirsty Dog Brewing Company Old Leghumper Robust Porter: The crew is suffering some blockbuster fatigue, and this Armchair Director interrogates where that comes from.  The Brew Kettle Production Works Kitka Coconut Chocolate Milk Stout: In the world of the side-gig and stay-cation, is vacation time just forcing yourself to be bored, or should you start yet another project? We pose the question once Drunk Enough.   Music: https://xmittens.bandcamp.com/album/some-sort-of-ep

Ep. 14: This Might Be a Love Glove

We’ve been doing this awhile, huh? If you’re new to The Mixed Six, we have enough episodes to cut together something like a clip show. Give it a listen and see if you like what we’re about. Scholarly Count Orlok’s Black Pumpkin Ale: Dissecting Our Fun is our boardgame segment, and as boardgame snobs, we have games we love to hate. We share our top three. Crown Valley Brewing’s Antique Amber American Ale: Caleb picks an innocuous listener question about S’mores and Spencer has some sort of audio fit as a response. It becomes a staple moment for the podcast. Dogfish Head Midas Touch Ancient Ale: A Mixed Six Mock Draft involves picking fictional characters for a real-world activity. In our first such event, we draft a team of Marvel superheroes to compete in the Great British Bake-off. Upland Brewing Co. Champagne Brand Velvet Beer: One of our listeners wants to know about what makes a great party anecdote. We don’t really give him advice, but our guest Rob Sith tells us a story about a time he almost got kidnapped in Transylvania. Ommegong Brewery’s Rare Vos Amber Ale: In Getting Lit(erature), it appears our listener’s like to talk books with us. In this episode, we share our favorite guilty pleasure read. Hoegaarden Wit Blanche: We try (and fail) to get profound once we hit beer six. In a segment called Drunk Enough, we talk about the complex problem of separating art from its artist’s ethics in this modern age.  Music Tracks 1-7 of After Midnight: Unaired Broadcasts by 2Mello

A Mixed Six Sampler

Our friend Maddy flew around the world to visit us for a recording! Considering one of the beers she brought, her continued presence on the show is…questionable. It makes for a fun listen though, even if Spencer’s tongue never recovers. Barossa Valley Brewing’s I Can’t Believe it’s Not Bacon: In Dissecting Our Fun, we try to talk about the kid’s dexterity game Rhino Hero, but we mainly discuss the awful thing that has been wrought upon Spencer by a foreign invader. Is this how wars start? Asking for a friend. Little Bang Brewing Co. Breakfast At Stepney Coffee Oatmeal Stout: Travel Advisory returns with a prescient question over what people miss most during international travel. The beer gets better too, but how could it not? Lobethal Bierhaus Creme Brûlée Sweet Dessert Ale: Ask Mixed Six is having another Fire Sale. Rapid fire questions go! Little Bang Brewing Co. The Pinkening Hibiscus Session Sour: This Was a Mistake is travel focused as well because there are few mistakes as absurd, expensive, and long-lasting as the TSA. Pikes Beer Company 2015 Cherry Kriek: In this Mixed Six Mock Draft, H.G. Wells has used his time machine to form a tabletop game company. What other novelists does he recruit to design games with him, and what type of games do they design? Goodies Brewery (McLaren Vale) Coffee Stout: Finally Drunk Enough, a bunch of freelancers ask themselves how much they are willing to pay to avoid a boring job. Songs, tracks 1-7: https://bluedoom95.bandcamp.com/album/rebirth

EP. 52: Our Side Project with Side Project

Look…sometimes you look back at your rating system and realize all the rating systems you’ve come up with in the last month have something to do with cheese. It happens to the best of us. Diets are hard, y’all. Best to point it out early and move on. Luckily, we also managed to talk through an episode between our desperate pleading for cheddar. We hope you enjoy it more than we enjoy the cheese-deficient hell  that is existence. Evil Twin Brewing’s C is for Cherry: We Dissect the Fun of games with entirely asymmetrical, random win objectives. Is the novelty helping or hurting? Left Hand Brewing Wheels Gose ‘Round: With an odd tie in the Twitter poll, our would-not-be writers have to develop a Slasher Sci-fi story in We’ll Never B’Author. Sailors Grave Brewing’s Down She Gose: Sebastian Asks Mixed Six about the value of intentionally provocative art. Alltech Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co. Kentucky Honey Barrel Brown Ale: This Mixed Six Mock Draft staffs a block party with superheroes. It’s not like they have anything better to do. Community policing at its finest! Prancing Pony Brewery’s Hopwork Orange American Pale Ale: Spencer finally watched the most base-level of anime suggestions: Studio Gibili films. His deeply normal brain is even more deeply confused. We try to Nerdsplain him out of his fugue state.  Country Boy Brewing’s Key Lime Cougar Bait: Finally Drunk Enough to do a Roger Ebert impression, we discuss the denominational crisis brought about by playing a backer-donated copy of Tales from the Arabian Nights. What does it mean to be a game?  Music: Tracks 2-8 of Return of the Soul

Prancing Pony Brewery’s Hopwork Orange American Pale Ale: Spencer finally watched the most base-level of anime suggestions: Studio Gibili films. His deeply normal brain is even more deeply confused. We try to Nerdsplain him out of his fugue state.  Country Boy Brewing’s Key Lime Cougar Bait: Finally Drunk Enough to do a Roger Ebert impression, we discuss the denominational crisis brought about by playing a backer-donated copy of Tales from the Arabian Nights. What does it mean to be a game? Music: <a href="https://2mellomakes.bandcamp.com/album/return-of-the-soul" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tracks 2-8 of Return of the Soul</a>

Ep. 43: Welcome to Cheese Month

Pictured: A spa day, apparently? Against all our better judgments, Spencer has insisted on another food based rating system. We…we really can’t stop him at this point. He seems fully intent on destroying the podcast with his Ahab-like quest to antagonize our entire fanbase. Please don’t leave us as a result of his monstrous obsession. Please. We don’t want to have to sell the podcasting equipment due to a discussion of sauerkraut. Anyway, here’s the next episode. Puyallup River Brewing Co’s Pineapple Ghost Pepper Cream Ale: In Dissecting Our Fun, we discuss the latest game in targeted cuteness — Everdell.  One Tree Hard Cider Lemon Basil Hard Cider: The Professional Drinkers briefly address a backer question before writing a history of the slain King IPA. Does the fall of craft brewing’s bitter tyrant herald a new golden age, or are we headed for the burst of an enormous economic bubble? Seven Seas Brewing Water Chopper Gose Ale Brewed on Sea Salt on Coriander: We try our first beer blend on air before washing it down with another, discretely fantastic beer. Then, finally, we get around to Nerdsplainer and test student Spencer on his progress in the nerdy arts. Boom Island Brewing Company Hoodoo Dubbel: We’re blending beers AND segments! In this joint Armchair Director/Getting Lit(erature), we discuss the top three book adaptations that Baz Luhrman absolutely should not direct.  Unibroue Ephemere Belgian Style Fruit Flavored Wheat Ale: Ask Mixed Six is about getting over colds and other minor illnesses. Three dudes who regularly share cans of infection with each other weigh in.  MKE Brewing Louie’s Resurrection Barrel Aged Amber Ale: We’re finally Drunk Enough to discuss what is perhaps the most baffling subject we’ve ever covered. What transcendent experiences would improve your life, but you’re too afraid to try? Songs, 2-9: https://itsroccnation.bandcamp.com/album/hope-youre-doing-well

Ep. 46: ミクスト・六本のビール

Maddy is sadly returning to her home in the sea, and we thought it best to honor her time with us doing what she loves best: tagging along while we slavishly create more podcast content. Thin Man Brewery Third Anniversary DDH Sour Ale (2):  Point Salad might be the simplest thing you play all year. It might also be the thing you play the most and the easiest buying decision you make all year in Dissecting Our Fun.Falls City Beer Good Times Ginger Lime Shandy (4): We do a Sportsplainer/Nerdsplainer fusion on the joint madness of sports and dice superstitions.Pohjala’s Rahe Imperial Gose-Style Ale with Sea Buckthorn, Vanilla, Salt, Coriander and Lactose (4): I’m surprised you’re reading this after hacking through that beer description. Anyway, we play We Make a Pair by throwing things into the transformative B-Hole.Weston Brewing Company Father Mescan Bog Myrtle Ale (3): It’s a Bog Myrtle Ale! It’s a Fire Sale Ask Mixed Six! Crowdpleasing like it’s our job!Thin Man Brewery Minkey Boodle Raspberry Sour Ale (4): Innervium has to name some sports stadiums. We can’t do worse than reality has here. Resurgence Brewing Co. The Surge New England India Pale Ale (4):  Finally Drunk Enough, we create our family mottos and critique the idea of having a subtitle for your clan. Music, Tracks 1-7:  https://pb-music.bandcamp.com/album/1-13

Ep. 60: Ad optimum? Bene

We got caught! Cheese-it! It’s the fuzz! (Just go with it; it’ll make sense in a second) Anyway, we did an episode on the run from the beer assassins come to exact revenge. We talk about Christmas decorations, writing utensils, and a crack cereal-mascot commando team. Six Mile Bridge–Blood Orange Wit: In Dissecting Our Fun, we talk about digital boardgames and whether or not they fulfill the basic function of an analog experience.  2nd Shift Brewing Hibiscus Wit — Belgian-Style Wit Beer Brewed with Spices: In This Was a Mistake, we draw the line between festive and tacky on Christmas decorations. Golden Road Pineapple Cart — Pineapple Wheat Ale with Blood Orange and Strawberry: It’s a fire sale! Ask Mixed Six.

Ep. 51: They Deleted the Tweet!

Rob Stith from The Orpheus Protocol joins us again for a very special episode. Well, not very special in the “Saved by the Bell” sense. No one got addicted to caffeine pills or anything. Okay, more addicted to caffeine pills. You know…you know what? Let’s just get down to it.Lagunitas Willetized Coffee Stout: We bring back the Mixed Six Game Jam to cash in on that sweet, sweet battle royale money.Independence Brewing Company Austin Amber Beer: Jukebox in Back sees the crew make their dream concert line-up. Needless to say, these shows should probably be marketed to some very disparate demographics.Rhinegeist Bubbles Rose Ale: Getting Lit(erature) breaks down the standard fantasy setting with three nerds. Spencer is physically present.Crane Brewing’s Gooseberry Gose: Ask Mixed Six is about our favorite foods. It becomes clear that half the cast is made of international connoisseurs, while the other half were apparently raised by raccoons.Crane Brewing Small Ball Saison: In This Was a Mistake, we talk about how much we hate talk radio before sharing a collective anxiety attack because podcasting might not be any different.Austin Beerworks Pearl-Snap German-Style Pils: Finally Drunk Enough we revisit the Death of the Author, but does that include the Death of Proper Consumption? Is there a “right” way to listen to music? Read a book?

Ep 54: Pork Rinds Taste Like Christmas

Though GenCon is now over, we recorded bad decisions made just prior to leaving on our pilgrimage for the sake of the historical record. In this episode, we eschew beer on our beer podcast for cocktails made by long-time listener and friend Birk. Not going to lie…we drank a lot of booze for an hour-long podcast. Thankfully, we’ve been training for this moment for years. Click the drink name to get the recipe! Mezcal Paloma (4): It’s rare we have someone on the pod that isn’t already as obsessed with boardgames as the hosts. We Dissect Our Fun, or rather, Birk’s fun as he starts to get into the hobby. Gosling Sidecar (4): In this Jukebox in Box, Greg wants to know what four chubby bearded nerds like to dance to. Weird kink but okay. Plantation Pineapple Daiquiri (5): Binge Binger discusses the possible horror of revisiting your favorite childhood shows. Eastern Sour (5): Scott Asks Mixed Six about skill they excel at, yet never enjoy performing. Fat-Washed Old Fashioned (5): In This Was a Mistake, we beg — ABSOLUTELY BEG — people to stop recommending anime. Mezcal Margarita (4): Birk has a hell of a cool job, and he’s Drunk Enough to talk about how he’s not crazy about how media depicts it. Music, Tracks 8-14:  https://radiojuicy.bandcamp.com/album/dreams-from-the-shore

Ep. 59: Mixmaster Birk

We did it again. Our lust for recording is insatiable, and we’ve curated another Mixed Twelve episode block. Listen to the first half of our bad decision this week, and catch up with the aftermath in next week’s Patron Extra (PE 21). Fittingly for a Texas-sized block of drunken microphone rodeo, all the beers in both episodes are from Texas. The topics are smaller than that, but, you know, still respectable: like, Tennessee-sized topics. At least. Live Oak Brewing Co’s Big Bark Amber Lager: Spencer got to dweeb out about his favorite Euro last time, so Caleb takes a moment to Dissect Our Fun by talking about Lowlands…the game of amorous sheep and natural disasters.Austin Beerworks Flavor Country Hoppy Pale Ale: The Mixed Six Mock Draft asks the experts to fill the missing members of Trump’s cabinet with fictional characters. We try, though there will probably be a dozen more vacancies by the time we post this. Darwin Brewing Co’s Llama Mama Milk Stout: Binge Binger covers the slow, pitiful death of the serialized superhero television show. Blue Owl Brewing Little Boss Sour Session Wheat: Ask Mixed Six is having a FIRE SALE! (just imagine a sound effect here)Pair O’ Dice Brewing Company Clearwater Honey Cream: In This Was a Mistake, we cave to the demands of a newly published game designer gone mad with power and allow Ross to talk about Warhammer 40K.Live Oak Hefeweizen Bavarian-Sytle Weissbier: Finally Drunk Enough, guys who get money to sit around and drink agree that the “hard work reaps reward” ethos has to go, but what could replace it?
