Four down‑home pals from Chippewa Falls hit the mic and dive into one of their most bonkers stories yet… and despite what the title might suggest, there's absolutely zero tattoo talk. Instead, they explore wild small‑town experiences, misheard legends, random conspiracies, and hilarious life lessons only rural Wisconsin can produce.

Think of it as big laughs, bigger personalities, and an ocean‑sized dose of hometown charm—no ink required.

This week, things get salty... and a little fishy.

The Hicks dive into the mysterious world of Vegemite and canned fish steaks, testing the limits of their taste buds—and maybe their friendships. Will they survive the spread, or will the nut butter break them? Expect laughs, gags (the gross-out kind), and a whole lot of questionable decision-making.

🎧 Listen in as Nate, Chad, Jason, and Ben try to keep it together while tackling some of the strangest foods to ever hit the table.

This week, the boys take on the notorious fermented delicacy known as Stinky Tofu — and let’s just say, it lives up to its name. 🤢 From the first whiff to the last regretful bite, this episode is packed with gag reflexes, hot takes, and the kind of questionable decision-making you've come to expect from Tales from the Hicks.

Will anyone survive the stink? Will someone actually like it? (Spoiler: maybe.) Tune in for laughs, nose plugs, and a whole lot of fermented funk.

This week on Tales from the Hicks, things get… squishy. The crew dives into a salty snack showdown featuring Spam, canned clams, and clam juice — and yes, it's every bit as weird (and gross) as it sounds.

We’re joined by special guest Tanner, who bravely (or foolishly) agrees to sample the seafood strangeness and mystery meat madness with us. Who gagged? Who actually liked it? And which one of us said clam juice tasted like “a sweaty jockstrap”?

Tune in for hilarious reactions, nostalgic side tangents, and a whole lot of questionable decision-making.

This week, the Hicks crack open one of the most infamously foul-smelling foods on Earth—Surströmming. That’s right, fermented Baltic Sea herring straight from Sweden’s fear-factor hall of fame. Will they survive the stench? Will anyone actually take a bite? And what possessed them to do this in the first place?

Join us for a riotous ride through gag reflexes, cultural curiosities, and the kind of laughter that only comes when something smells like a corpse rolled in vinegar. It’s Episode 56, and it’s nasty in all the right ways.
