Howdy friends!

Kirk Bangstad here from the Minocqua Brewing Company writing to you a bit more groggy than usual this Thursday morning, because the Up North Podcast team had a blast last night putting on a satirical “voodoo séance” to punish the Trump regime.

If you want to relive the experience in its entirety, I suggest you want the entire show above, but here are the highlights:

In this first clip, I explained the events that led up to us deciding to hold this voodoo séance on April Fool’s day. Hint, it all started with a viral post offering “free beer the day he dies.”

Before we started sticking pins into Trump regime voodoo dolls, we took a moment to go around the room and let people “air their grievances” about the Trump regime. Here was one of the most poignant moments from an audience member who told us that his father, who fought in WW2, would be rolling in his grave at what Trump has done to America.

Next, we had members of the audience recite “curses” toward members of the Trump regime before poking their dolls. Here’s Kathy cursing J.D. Vance:

And of course, we saved our biggest curse for Trump himself. Here it is:

I hope this gallows humor didn’t offend anyone too much. America is in a pretty dark place, and the darker we get as a country, the darker my humor gets. I hope that humor lightens your load a little bit today.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for sticking with the Minocqua Brewing Company.

Together, we must try to laugh every now and then while fighting to save our country—one beer at a time.
