In this massive, unfiltered installment of Altered Judgement, hosts Alex and Joe sit down with the crew from the Happy Losers podcast for a full cross-over event ("Happy Judgement"). They kick off the day by braving the infamous Chicago wormwood liqueur, Malort, before washing it down with local favorite brews and a highly rated, ultra-smooth single barrel bourbon from Warwick Farm.As the drinks flow in the attic studio, the conversation barrels through Joe's upcoming honeymoon trip to Ireland, a wild recap of a mixed music-and-comedy gig at Philly's Zap Factory, and the changing landscape of 90s and early 2000s sketch comedy vs. viral social media trends. Later, things take a highly relatable turn into beach-trip mishaps, public swimming dilemmas, and a deep-dive technical preview of an upcoming, full-scale comedy roast planned for the Sellersville Theater. Finally, they close out the chaotic night by putting their tolerance to the ultimate test: taking down a brutal dose of Da'Bomb Beyond Insanity hot sauce that leaves the entire room sweating and struggling to breathe.Episode Chapters:00:00 - The Traditional Malort Welcoming04:15 - Warwick Farm Bourbon Tasting07:53 - Joe's Forefathers Tour: Heading to Ireland11:46 - The Zap Factory Gig14:31 - Summer Soccer & Trillionaire Problems21:40 - The Death of Classic 2000s Sketch Comedy26:16 - The Grind vs. Social Media Fame31:24 - The Philly Comedy Scene & Pulling a Crowd34:48 - Idiocracy & DC Landmark Sightseeing Plans37:50 - Smart Guitars & AI Production Ideation43:23 - Big Venue Goals: The Sellersville Theater Roast47:12 - Dealing with Back-Row Room Noise49:40 - Networking through the Local Scene52:04 - Pregame Beers & Hockey 53:08 - Beach Trip Crises57:42 - The "Ginnie Springs" Incident01:04:16 - Colonoscopy Prep01:12:00 - Viral Fart Content & Holding it in Anxiety01:16:45 - The Standup Notepad 01:19:53 - Facing Da'Bomb: The Beyond Insanity Challenge01:28:48 - The Hard Outro Sign-Off
