Man Cave Happy Hour

Send us a text

Raise your glasses and wax those mustaches – it's time to talk charity, cider, and community support on this episode of Man Cave Happy Hour!
Jamie, Matt, and August dive into a tasting of Blake's Cider seasonal offerings while unveiling the backstory of their beloved Magnum 12 charity event. What started as friends challenging each other to wear tracksuits to a bar has evolved into a 12-year tradition of Hawaiian shirts, mustaches, and heartfelt community giving. The guys share candid (and sometimes hilarious) reviews of Blake's Cider Mill Donut and Salted Caramel Apple flavors – with a surprise call to Blake's representative Mike Didio providing insider details about the upcoming event.
The conversation takes us through the evolution of their charity events, from rotating causes to finding their perfect charitable match with the Hero Foundation, which supports families affected by cancer during difficult times. We get the scoop on this year's venue at the tiki-themed Eastern Palace Club and hear about the tremendous outpouring of support from local businesses donating gift cards for auction baskets. Between sips and laughs, the guys share stories of gift card mishaps, podcast award nominations, and August's struggles with his mandatory Magnum PI mustache.
Whether you're planning to attend Magnum 12 or simply enjoy hearing about community-driven charity work done with heart and humor, this episode showcases why the Man Cave Happy Hour has become a beloved fixture in Detroit's podcast scene. Grab your favorite cider, tune in, and consider how you might support families impacted by cancer through the Hero Foundation.
