Episode 39 - Butte Scootin' Boogie

It's been a while, so let's check in. We missed all of you a ton. Everything is still weird but we're ok. How are you? 

Nathan and Matthew explain just what the hell they've been up to for the better part of the last fiscal year (spoiler: it involves dessert). And announce a more realistic production schedule for the podcast moving forward.

Stories include tales of horror in movie theaters and a brief dissertation on the evolution of cartoons

Most of us who have enjoyed cannabis know someone who has at some point in their life had a bad time with edibles. Turns out making candy out of a drug that makes you feel hungry has some downsides. Who knew? In this guest episode our friend Isaiah tells us the story of his unfortunate first time with edibles.

The Friday after Thanksgiving is a great night to throw a rave. A lot of people are in town visiting family for the holiday and might be looking for something to do. In November of 1999, Matthew's friends in Bend made it happen.

The cliche that high school will be the "best years of your life" is a cruel farce that has been debunked left and right, yet it still persists. Those years are unquestionably important and formative, but ask anyone (especially teenagers) about their high school experience and most will tell you that shit is pretty rough. Nathan's run through the gantlet certainly fits that description.

According to population data from 2016, the ratio of people to horses in the United States at that time was 46:1. If we limit the scope to just Wyoming, however, there were five people for every horse. That's a hell of a lot of horses. Our guest Jeremy tells the story of how his hometown got its fake name.

Enjoy another round of hypothetical questions!

Several years and hundreds of beers later, we've actually hit Episode 100! And though we had grand plans to celebrate our centennial, current events dictate a more limited scope. So we are saving the live show with pyrotechnics and lasers for a later date and trying something a little different from our usual fare. Tonight we're going to get a little bit steamy with a look into the sexual awakening of your hosts.

As we discussed in Episode 88, most kids have a shoplifting phase at some point when they're growing up. Some get stung right away and give up, others run with it until they fly too close to the sun. Our friend Dan and his schoolmates in Evanston found the third path.

The human mind is truly a wonder to behold. Capable of incredible feats of logic and creativity, as well as ludicrous flights of fancy. But it's also terribly fragile, and it's a tragic cliche that sometimes those who burn the brightest also crash the hardest. Matthew tells the story of one of his friends who might have flown too close to the sun.

At first glance, playing a show on a commercial chicken farm doesn't sound like an ideal choice of venue. But when you're first starting out, any place with a stage and a PA system is a step above playing shows in backyards and basements. Sometimes you just gotta go where the people are, even if it's Tom Brown's Poultry Farm.
