Scott checks in from Olympia's Port-Fest, C-Note talks about a Rockaway Beach getaway and metal detecting, and the guys dive into the ever-growing mess of streaming services and trying to watch the sports you actually want without paying for everything.

It's another classic Grit City conversation: serious stories, good food, weird technology, old video games, and plenty of completely unnecessary rabbit holes.

The Grit City crew is back for another Hangover Sunday, and this one is a full-blown weekend recap.

Scott checks in from the 2026 Tumwater Artesian Beer Fest, where the crew encounters fruit-heavy ciders, meads, hazy beers, giant pizza slices, scorching sunshine, and one very questionable drink called the "Steam Mule." There's also an on-location hotline report featuring festival-goers and their drinks.

From there, things go completely off the rails. The guys revisit some classic Grit City stories, including a mysterious giant carrot costume that was apparently mistaken for a hot dog, old convention drinking stories, disc golf's surprisingly serious professional league, porch festivals, Minnesota culture, microbreweries, and the eternal question of what actually qualifies as beer.

And because this is Hangover Sunday, the episode eventually winds its way into food arguments—including Cincinnati chili spaghetti, peanut butter and potato-chip sandwiches with barbecue sauce, and some absolutely brutal wings.

It's beer. It's food. It's weird stories. It's local Northwest chaos.

Basically, it's Hangover Sunday.
