In Episode 15 Part 3 of Beer, Booze & B.S., things get real in a way you cannot script.

We dive into the unbelievable story of Sam — a closed adoption that still included years of updates, letters, and one of the most emotional reunions you’ll ever hear about. After turning 18, Sam finally meets his biological family in Minnesota… and the first meet-up happens in the most unexpected place: a Denny’s in Otsego. From there, the story only gets wilder — including a jaw-dropping coincidence involving another adopted “Sam” from a couple they previously considered.

Then the episode shifts into the terrifying reality of Chris’s May 9 motorcycle accident — what happened, what Katie saw and heard from home, the frantic moments at the highway, and why responders made fast decisions that changed the outcome. It’s raw, emotional, and honestly a miracle he’s here to tell it.

We wrap with drinks, rapid fire questions, and a spotlight on Hoodlum Nonprofit — real people doing real work for the community.
