The Mason (lounge) and her proud owner Brian Richgels host us on our Season Two Premier. The Mason has been a staple of 'hip' or 'it' in Madison for over half a decade and the boys drop by to find out what 'it' is. The beer list, music, seating, and overall vibe just scream MADISON and we can't get enough.

Like Fun! Live! this is a recording of our new Live format performed at Octopi Brewing. Pretty much everything that could go wrong did, besides the recording, the sound is primo! You can literally hear the cold sweat as Josh, Greg, Brett Halverson (of the Seat Fillers Podcast) and Sam Green (Octopi Brewing) try to make everything come up laughs for a crowd of eight or so. It's a quiz format so I cant really do my usual run-up, it would ruin the quiz for you...
