Beer Blues and BS

Episode 284 of Beer, Blues, and BS delivers chaotic storm-chasing road trips, concert venue disasters, and pure midwest comedy!

Howard Blues debuts a brand-new, bar-budget baby pink treadmill—a $20 discount buy that leaves the crew in stitches as he attempts a motorless incline walk on-air while crushing his 250-mile North Dakota fitness challenge. Meanwhile, Mark Kidder, Doc, and Rudeboy Kyle recount a wild concert road trip through "Hurricane Ames" down to Iowa, complete with blackout-level power outages, $17 sushi bento boxes, $25 golf-course parking, and a bizarre 6-minute rant from the lead singer of Blues Traveler about 1970s wine and Quaaludes.

Episode 283 of Beer, Blues, and BS delivers chaotic energy, epic taste test fails, and total treadmill destruction!

Howard Blues takes the 250-mile walking challenge to the absolute limit—literally burning out his treadmill on-air with sparks and smoke after crushing over 20,000 steps. Meanwhile, metal band veteran Mike Tango drops in to talk MySpace nostalgia, viral TikTok marketing, and modern content creation.

Over at the bar, the guys hit a mind-blowing milestone: crossing 1,700 total beverages reviewed on the show! But Episode 283 brings pure craft roulette. Brother Niko faces down Liquid Death’s bizarre Peanut Butter Cup and Cinnamon Roll iced teas, Doc tackles a "downright nasty" flat watermelon vodka cocktail, LCL Geek scores a near-perfect 4.9 rating with a nostalgic Clearly Canadian, and JS brings the heat with a mango habanero hard cider.

Plus, the crew digs into 2012 radio origins, early Facebook .edu elitism, and a genius DIY project turning vintage farm hubcaps into custom clocks.

Episode 282 of Beer, Blues, and BS delivers ultramarathon ambitions, college ghost documentaries, and hilarious retro media throwbacks!

Howard Blues kicks off September by announcing a 250-mile walking treadmill challenge over two months, paving the way for a nostalgia-heavy deep dive into past creative projects. The crew uncovers the lore of "Undarh"—a massive green monster mascot from their college residence hall days—and recalls their UND campus ghost stories documentary, including a late-night research trip to the Chester Fritz Library's notorious "ghost file."

Over at the bar, the taste tests cover everything from Doc’s sweet Jack Daniel's Blackberry and ginger ale twist to Mark Kidder’s imported Korean pear ale with a bizarre label translation. Plus, Brother Niko joins with a mason jar of Lincoln tap water, LCL Geek brings an oversized 3D-printed Lego man, JS drinks shop-machine filtered water, and the team officially welcomes new guest Mike Tango (aka "Metal Thrasher") to the mix.

Finally, Mark shares highlights from his 3-hour live storm-tracking stint filling in at Hutch’s Weather, and Doc breaks news on guest-conducting the spring Allstate Choir in North Dakota!

Episode 281 of Beer, Blues, and BS delivers spicy kitchen payback, high-tech Vegas news, and an abrupt system crash you won't want to miss!

Howard Blues recounts a legendary story about how nuclear-level jalapeño poppers became his ultimate weapon against a freeloading housemate—sparking a fierce debate on spice limits and JS's upcoming batch of homemade salsa.

At the bar, the reviews hit extreme highs and rock-bottom lows. Doc scores big with a high-gravity canned cocktail, while Mark Kidder faces a "No Frills" pilsner so bad it leaves an immediate coating on his tongue. Plus, the guys react to the sudden closing announcement of a major Vegas production at the Wynn, spot local landmarks in American Truck Simulator, and get hit with a forced Windows update right as the episode wraps up.

Episode 280 of Beer, Blues, and BS kicks off "Kombucha Appreciation Month" with live mechanic work, wild crime stats, and classic Midwest banter!

JS joins the call live from the shop, turning wrenches on a project car while giving an update on his new mechanic job. Between power tool noises and nostalgia for 90s car chimes ("your door is ajar"), JS leads a side-by-side porter comparison, pitting a non-alcoholic Black Butte Porter against a questionable 2.5-year-old aged porter that completely crashed out.

Meanwhile, Howard Blues breaks down official South Dakota Highway Patrol data from the Sturgis Bike Rally—including price gouging complaints, DUI stats, and an investigation into a Buffalo Chip bar security altercation. Over in The Blues Blotter, the team uncovers Flathead Valley chaos involving a stolen gallon of milk, fairground traffic fights, and another appearance by "Jimothy" the raccoon.

Plus, Mark Kidder calls for more audience feedback on "Kidder's Log," Doc demonstrates the marble safety cap on a Japanese Ramune soda, and JS shares highlights from a Chicago trip featuring an epic cocktail lineup at the hotel bar.

Episode 278 of Beer, Blues, and BS delivers peak Montana absurdity, groan-worthy puns, and a shocker at the bar!

The star of the show is The Blues Blotter, as Howard Blues breaks down the wild police reports out of the Flathead Valley. The crew unpacks everything from a drive-by baloney shooting at a local home, to festival-goers misbehaving in the crowd, and a resident who successfully bribed a rogue husky with hot dogs. Howard’s Dad Jokes of the Week keep the laughs going with sharp wordplay on criminal mugshots, Moses, and doughnut factories.

Over at the bar, Mark Kidder stuns the room by admitting he'd actually be open to drinking a Malört cocktail and finding it palatable—leading Doc to question if Mark is secretly an AI bot. Meanwhile, Rudeboy Kyle tests a 9% Tequila Splash Margarita, JS checks in with a Wild Berry Splash Refresher, and Howard presents a prize-fighter intro story for a deserving coworker that steals the show.

Episode 277 of Beer, Blues, and BS takes a direct hit at corporate greed, hotel security-state policies, and the soul-crushing rise of AI in modern media!

Mark Kidder checks in from a room at the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel, calling out an outrageous guest experience complete with security checkpoints, metal detectors, and strict anti-outside-alcohol policies that threaten instant eviction. That venue frustration leads straight into a passionate, hard-hitting debate over the sudden firing of legendary Fighting Sioux voice Tim Hennessy—and how corporate radio continues to gut real human talent in favor of cheap, emotionless AI announcers and fake online staff profiles.

Over at the bar, the crew tests an eclectic lineup of pre-made cocktails, high-caffeine energy blends, and copper ales. JS whips up a custom Disaronno coffee concoction before heading off to the USPSA state shooting championships, Doc faces down a cotton-candy-flavored G Fuel "Flavor Bomb," and Big Bada Boom makes a brief, smoky cameo from the outdoor grill with a glass of scotch.

Plus, the guys dissect the astronomical pricing and autographed card controversies surrounding the upcoming Magic: The Gathering Star Trek set, talk Chicago Blackhawks roster moves, and attempt to enjoy a dry prop serving of Outback bread.

Episode 276 of Beer, Blues, and BS takes you behind the scenes of high-stakes historical events, weird regional snack habits, and total drink gauntlets!

Howard Blues shares a wild, last-minute construction story from a massive presidential event out in Medora. Confronted with a hard deadline and a sudden directive from a White House staffer, Howard had to quickly assemble a chaotic crew—including a team of actual Roosevelt’s Rough Riders reenactors—leading to a total logistical nightmare and a rogue piece of flying lumber.

Over at the bar, the flavor profiles are completely unpredictable. The crew faces off against a lineup featuring everything from a "cola champagne" discovered at an HMart, to a Key Lime Pie Gose, zero-sugar performance fuel, and a clearance-rack sparkling water that leaves the room highly divided. Plus, the guys mourn the end of a Grand Forks dining landmark, sparking a heated debate over the highly controversial local habit of dipping bar popcorn straight into ranch dressing.

Finally, the team breaks down breaking entertainment news regarding legendary singer Huey Lewis's health, pays tribute to late TV icons, debates the endless loop of the Daylight Savings Time war, and highlights a massive highway beer seizure by the Minnesota State Patrol.

Buckle up for Episode 275 of Beer, Blues, and BS as we span the globe from local golf course near-disasters to the high-octane tracks of European racing!

Rudeboy Kyle takes center stage with an epic travelogue from Austria, recounting an uncomfortably overheated flight that felt more like a funeral home than a cabin. He breaks down his incredible trip to the Red Bull Ring for a Formula 1 weekend—complete with behind-the-scenes pit lane access, an 11-euro bacon-topped hot dog, and using soaking-wet towels to survive the intense track heat. Back home, Mark Kidder recaps a recent golf tournament where the team finished an impressive eight under par, despite JS nearly rolling the golf cart and the crew completely missing the post-round barbecue due to painfully slow play.

Plus, we tackle Doc’s Dollar Tree Starbucks experiment, dive into the corporate strategy behind Seattle coffee shop closures, debate the absolute pretentiousness of kombucha with a nod to Portlandia, and unveil the brand-new "Terrestrial Radio Sucks" tri-blend tees now live in the merch shop.
