    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.

    What You Can’t Do At Mystic Lake?

    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.

    Malört Popcorn

    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. On Tap This Episode: Rudeboy Kyle: A vibrant "Neon Rodeo" slightly sour ale and a crisp fruit cider. Doc: A Toltec-inspired sparkling import and a peach clearance-rack gamble. JS: A smooth, high-caffeine peach energy blend. Mark Kidder: A heavily layered Key Lime Pie dessert Gose. Howard Blues: A classic, velvety craft root beer.

    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.

The conversation takes a serious turn as the guys dissect the massive wave of corporate radio layoffs sweeping the nation, breaking down the harsh reality of losing local voices and critical live emergency coverage to automated broadcasting. Over at the bar, JS battles a golden ale with an unexpected "Christmas tree" undertone before redeeming his palate with a smooth Mississippi pecan brown ale.

    Don't Ask About My New Wealth

    Episode 273 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a total mechanical wrecking yard of broken trucks, family milestones, and international sports chaos! Doc checks in live from an airport layover terminal, sparking a huge conversation about how massive World Cup crowds are completely taking over cities—and the viral fan videos that have a song permanently stuck in Howard's head. But the real breakdown happens in the garage. Farva makes his grand return with massive personal family news, followed by an ultimate truck-nightmare story about a literal 5-cent part failing at the worst possible moment. JS counters with his own catastrophic F-150 breakdown that required some insane farm-style towing maneuvers, leading to a deep dive into his massive 24-vehicle property graveyard and the endless search for parts. Plus, Mark Kidder pays his final respects to a permanently closed Grand Forks landmark, shares a bizarre update on a massive surprise check he just received in the mail, and looks into the strict international soccer rules where covering your mouth can get you instantly penalized.

    Howard's "Tough Guy" History or I Didn't Start the Fight

    Episode 272 of Beer, Blues, and BS is an absolute collision course of nostalgia, neighborhood drama, and backyard chaos! We kick off the evening with a bittersweet toast to the permanent closing of the legendary Ground Round restaurant in Grand Forks, reminiscing about those iconic "extra dollar, double the alcohol" drink specials. That trip down memory lane sparks a hilarious debate over a comedy club misunderstanding, leading Howard Blues to defend his childhood fight record and the time a school bus driver saved him from a playground showdown. Over on the investigative desk, The Blues Blotter uncovers peak absurdity in Montana, featuring a resident who called the cops to complain about a neighbor's bedroom light—only to call a second time to complain that the police spotlights were too bright! Plus, we laugh off a botched phishing email from a company that couldn't even get our podcast name right, share crucial aviation and layover survival tips, and breakdown a backyard family grill-out where a simple game of catch turned into a total disaster zone of struck kids and spilled drinks.
