The RDTFM Leaderboard

Every beer. Rated.

Each host brings a beer to every episode. In The Final Pour it gets a score out of 10, decimals and all, and then it lives on the board permanently. No re-scoring. It’s in the bylaws.

From the RDTFM scorecard sheet · Snapshot Oct 17, 2026

The scale

How we score

Out of 10, to one decimal. It’s subjective. It’s also final.

1–2

No thanks

Pour it out. Politely.

3–4

Only if it’s free

Somebody hands you one, you’ll drink it. You’re not paying for it.

5–6

Solid

Respectable. No complaints.

7–8

Good beer

You’d buy it again.

9–10

Holy grail

Find out where they sell it and clear some fridge space.

RDTFM, Right down the f***ing middle

Beer, Golf & Business

Three CPAs who each run a small firm crack open a beer, talk golf like it’s a second job, and dig into the real business advisory questions they see every week. The golf varies. The beer gets a score.

E

Explicit · New episodes every Friday

The fine print. RDTFM is for general information and entertainment only. It’s not tax, accounting, legal, or investment advice, and listening doesn’t make any of us your CPA. Your situation is your own, so talk to your own advisor before you act on anything you hear here. The views on the show belong to the hosts, not their firms. The language is explicit. And if you’re drinking along, be 21 or older and drink responsibly.
