The crew assembled at Nomatic Beerworks in South Austin to share some tasty beverages while we talking the nasty stuff that has become Texas politics. We go over the new laws hitting the books September 1st, why the Governor's roundtable on guns was a dog and pony show and the latest in the Bonnghazi scandal. 

Thanks for the increased engagement online we love hearing from you! Please share the pod with a friend and add a few more to the Facebook page!
