    <description>The Grit City Podcast is a weekly audio experience like no other! Hosted from the vibrant city of Tacoma, Washington - also known as "Grit City," our show has been entertaining and informing listeners since 2014. And what a ride it's been! 
Every week, we release a new episode that introduces you to the dynamic and inspiring individuals who call the Pacific Northwest home. From local business owners and entrepreneurs to authors, artists, and unique characters, our guests embody the hard-working, blue-collar spirit that Grit City is known for. And let's not forget the occasional drug-fueled weirdo we may have met at a comedy club the night before!
The Grit City Podcast first launched back in the summer of 2014 and quickly built a loyal fanbase of listeners who appreciated the show's unique perspective on the Seattle/Tacoma area. After a brief hiatus in 2017, the podcast was rebooted in 2018, with even more friends and family members involved. It quickly regained its "must listen to" status and went on to deliver an impressive 275 episodes and counting, delivering over 280 hours of audio content to our fans since. With no signs of slowing down soon!
Our mission at The Grit City Podcast is simple: to bring the hard-working spirit of the Pacific Northwest to the world and have a good time doing it! We aim to create a community of listeners who understand and appreciate the concept of "grit". With a focus on local business owners, entrepreneurs, and unique characters, sprinkled with a good dose of humor, The Grit City Podcast is a one-of-a-kind audio experience that you won't want to miss.
So, if you're looking for a weekly dose of inspiration, laughter, and a celebration of the human spirit, look no further than The Grit City Podcast! Subscribe now and join us for the ride!

  <description>&lt;p&gt;On this episode, Justin shares his recent trip to Port Townsend, they give updates on plans to return to the Union Club to record, Scott Topics, Jeff Capades, and much more!!  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;02:22 - Justin gives the team an update on the progress of his studio, they talk about their plans to start recording again at the Union Club, and Justin shares updates that have happened at the club.  Scott expresses his excitement to start recording live again, they discuss the average lifespan of podcasts, and Justin talks about his recent trip he and his wife took to Port Townsend.  He and Scott talk about their visit to Dusties before Covid, their birthday plans, and Justin talks about exploring a winery in Port Townsend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;22:45 - Justin talks about the drinks they enjoyed when eating out in Port Townsend, what the drink The Huntress has in it, and plans to get a bartender on.  He challenges Scott to try new fruity drinks the next time they’re out, Scott reflects on the drinks he had back in high school, and Jeff shares what his favorite fruity drink is.  They plan drink rounds the next time they’re out so each of them can share their favorite drinks with each other, what Brogan has going on at Cosmic, and Justin talks about the history of The Manrea Castle Hotel. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;42:25 - Conversation turns to Scott Topics and the the crazy article he found about a man who put his head inside a particle accelerator while it was on, they discuss what would it take to get them to the point where they would be ok with putting their head in a particle accelerator, and Scott talks about his last story of the guy feeding crocodiles. They move into Jeff’s Capades, Jeff talks about the scariest thing that happened to him when dealing with alligators in Florida, and they talk about stories of the past where gators have taken children.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;69:08 - Scott and Jeff give their guesses on what article is from Tacoma, Justin talks about how cool art is a staple in Tacoma, and Scott asks the guys if they’ve ever sliced a tire.  They discuss how much someone could get for a finger on the black market, if you should file a claim with your insurance company if sex toys are stolen from your house, and Jeff brings up his new business idea and invites the guys to join him.  They close out the episode talking about how Liquor To Go will be available for people in Washington through 2023! &lt;/p&gt;
