Looks great - thank you! (By the way, couldn't get your link to work but was able to find it through the WOJ pod.)
I've now subscribed to every recommendation made in this thread. I figure it doesn't hurt to check each one out. Oh, other than Radiolab. I hate Radiolab. Thanks again to everyone for the ideas!

K4 if you like 2 idiot comedians getting drunk and high and talking about food and conspiracy theories The Boogie Monster might be up your alley.
Apple prose of nothing....
My uncle Bob died on Tuesday. No thopras please, it was coming and probably the best for all. He was a hardcore alcoholic with a number of issues. His body finally just gave out. With that being said, his siblings flew in to Milwaukee from North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Arizona, etc....so what did we do today before his funeral? They wanted to take the Miller tour. I think I love my aunts, uncles, and cousins more today than I ever could. We had a blast, which is what Bob would have wanted.
RIP Bob.

few years back....you chose to spend the evening with your wife rather than corn hole with 3 strangers. we ended up shirtless outside the bar when they closed, mid december, so not too cold. we were a big hit with the locals. the owners and staff of the bar met us at the game (you couldn't be bothered to go watch the ####ty raiders) and we ended up back at that bar after the game. i have a picture of me, behind the bar, HAMMERED. there is also a pic of me in my sleeveless, ghetto, raider shirt, wearing a packers, mexican wrestling mask. no clue where i got it. good times.when was that, gb? surely i would have been there

Thanks man - great pic. You don't even look that drunk ...just really happy. Ja have yer slur on pretty good at that point?

I am a good 10 hours into drinks at that point. I am very functional and usually quite happy when mucho drinks. The 2 days of drinking did nearly put me in a coma. I went to the stadium on Monday with the intention of taking the tour. I went to the bar instead and not even more booze and fried cheese helped. Sitting in the airport was sheer misery.

It’s very hard to “look drunk” in a luchador mask.
Or so I’ve heard.

in the pic, the packer's haven't even scored any of the 46 they would lay on the raiders that fateful day. the crowd around us was really nice. they treated us well and laughed at my dumb ### all game. they kept yelling at me to put my jacket on. as the sun went down it got pretty cold, but i persevered(drank more) at the end of th game, some grandma came up to me, kissed me on the cheek, called me a big dummy and told me she was so happy that i finally put my jacket on.

i don't know if i've told this wisconsin story but I do a fair bit of business there. I was invited about 3 years ago to come out for a customers annual golf tourney, so I went.
so we head to the golf course around 10AM and they have a "bloody bar" which isn't something you see in Oregon, that I recall. Its a giant table filled with every sort of Bloody Mary mix you can imagine, all sorts of add ons and veggies etc. all you have to do is take your 16oz pint to the bar, they throw some vodka in there and go to town.
One of the guys I'm with he's about 62 or so, you know- the age you probably slow down on the alcohol, he gives me his pint glass and says hey if you don't mind tell the lady i want Jamesons instead of vodka. Ok, so I head up there and the gal pours this thing, no ####, 3/4 full of Jamesons. 12 shots.
I head back to the table and give it to him with a sheepish look and say "sorry man, i guess she doesn't know how to pour" and he just goes "thats no big deal" heads over to the table adds a splash of bloody mix and then starts crushing this thing like you would a slurpee after playing hoops all day in 100 degree heat. Backs that up with a couple beers. That was before we even hit balls.
So on the range, this guy is just striping it. I'm like "hey Seve, i thought your were like an 8 handicap" he just grunts and keeps hitting laser beams dead straight. #### it, lets go play.
On the first tee he grabs a case (24 or 18 pack, but the big one) of bud light and starts passing them around to all of us, puts two in front of him, then cracks one and hammers it on the spot. Grabs his driver, goes to the tee and blasts one dead straight abouut 280 down the middle. This continued through the entire 18 holes. never once did I get the impression he was drunk, off balance or even slightly buzzed. He probably drank the equivalent of 25 beers or shots in a 4.5 hour period.
And we were'nt done. there's a barbeque and "awards" banguet. Which in Wisconsin I've learned, is codespeak for "happy hour". This place has a hosted, open bar and tubs full of ice and beer located every 30 or so feet, in case you missed one in between the sausage and porto-potty. I couldn't take it, after about 2 hours had to call it a night.
Basically what Im' saying is don't try to keep up with Minn, Wisc or Michigan drinkers, they have some genetic advantage or something

While we're on Wisconsin chat...
My trip to San Antonio in November with my fundamentalist Christian, non-drinking stepmother was such a big success that we're going to meet somewhere every year. Actually actually true - we had a fantastic time. I found out that, despite living her entire life in Indiana, one of the only two states she has never visited is Wisconsin. I suggested we meet for a Brewers game, because she's one of the two biggest baseball fans I know. So I'm heading to Milwaukee in June for a game, but would love any other suggestions for stuff to do. I told her all I know is that there is a great art museum and a statue of The Fonz. Also any great places to stay, or at least which area to stay in?
Thanks!

yeah, that with the huge amount of Jameson's is impressive. we have a couple of guys in our group that pound 12+ beers per round ...but they are doing a case a day, every day anyway.

You basically described all my in-laws. I wasn't born in Michigan, but lived here most of my life.
There are lots of stories, but the best one and a quick one was when I took my husband to meet my extended family in Iowa for the first time. They told him they were going to show him how they drink in Iowa and it ended with him carrying 2 of my uncles to the couches because they passed out and driving my other uncle and 2 cousins back to the hotel because they were too drunk to give him directions to their house and he could only figure out how to get back to our hotel.

Dad?
When in June? Pretty sure Pride Fest (oops fundamentalist Christian teetotallers, wait) and Polish Fest, both at the Summerfest grounds are typically in June. Festival of the Arts too. Barring bad weather there should be a ton to do. Harley museum, casino, church festivals etc
krista4
Footballguy
June 26-29, something like that. Polish Fest sounds fun! Festival of the Arts would probably be right up her alley. Although fundamentalist, she is gay-friendly, though Pride Fest could push it a little too much for her if it's anything like the pride festivals I've been to in other cities. I'll look up the dates of these! Appreciate it a lot.

That's opening weekend of Summerfest, self proclaimed largest music festival in the world. Wait, you've been there during your Chicago days right?

Let me rephrase. You are aware of Summerfest and what it is, due to your former proximity, yes?

Speaking of those that shall not be trifled with while drinking......
I once met a man named Bob. Bob and his wife were vacationing with some good friends of mine in the USVI. look at us!! Anyway, there was 1 other couple involved in the trip, and the 8 of us proceeded to #### off and have fun in the islands for a week so. Everyone drank like they were on vacation and all of us were professionals. Bob and I took a shine to each other, recognizing that the rest of these plebes didn't really know what drinking was......
fast forward to 3 months later...the wife and I are in Rome, GA to meet up with Bob, his wife and one of the other couples. Our objective? The Coca Cola 600. In Charlottesville, NC. this is a 6 hour drive. Naturally, Bob and I are drinking from moment one. 2 hours later, it is decided that we need to get on the road. Bob looks at me, grins, and says, "you think 3 cases will get us there".
of course it will....who the #### can drink 36 beers in 5 hours? Apparently, no..actually....Bob can. I matched this mother ####er, beer for beer for about 14 beers. The speed with which this mutant drank was frightening. But what was more a sign of his being a mutant, the f'ing guy never had to Pee. Wtf!! Like, never...we drove for 5 hours and the guy drank around 40 beers, AND NEVER PEED!!!!! WTF!!! The two of us were in the back row of the suburban and I was peeing into beer cans and chucking them out the window after around 8 beers. This freak never flinched. Just pounded beer after beer. It was epic and humbling watching this dude crush a beer every 6 minutes or so for 5 hours.
The next day, Saturday, I was so thrashed, I fell asleep, in my seat, at the Busch race or whatever it called. If you've ever been to a NASCAR race, sleeping isn't really what one might normally accomplish in the stands. But good ole Bob, about put me in the ground. Of course, Bob was right as f'ing rain. Dude was a cyborg when it came to drinking.
I learned my lesson and never tried to match Bob again. We went to a few nascar races over the next couple of years, including Taladega twice. Just so, so much fun. The Taladega infield, at night, is a thing to be experienced. the wee hours of the morning are special. An amazing cross between those getting up, and those still up/going to bed/deciding to stay up and everything in between. So much drinks. Hmmmmm, rednecks.
