00:08:21
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
than that. Come on now. All right. Wow. now
00:08:25
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Tommy? So it was an interesting weekend. um Started out easy enough. Just an oil change in the car. Did you get in fight? you get in a fight? I did not. Are talking in code? I did not. By the way, if I would have been in the car with you and the car wash, I'd have fucking gone. I know you would. Well, that would have been convenient because then you could have gone beat his ass and I wouldn't have had to hold up the car wash line. Ha!
00:08:49
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
But anyhow, I mean, it it does pay sometimes to have somebody with you. Anyhow, so ah yeah, Saturday afternoon, ah got ah got a text from a buddy that wanted to go have a beer, and ah so we did.
00:09:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
20 beers later, shit um I went home from Rookies. And ah so it was, yeah, it was a fun Saturday. Ubered home, right? oh he's got He's got built in. I got her wife. she was there. Okay. Her wife was there. DD.
00:09:18
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, and ah so in all our infinite and drunk wisdom, her wife said in her soberness, because she knows she can get things when nothing. Hey, tomorrow, why don't we go to, what's that place in Cincinnati? Jungle Gems? Oh, yeah.
00:09:35
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I like Jungle Gems. Yeah. So I was like, oh, yeah, why not? Sure. So we got up outside at Sunday to go to Jungle Gems. We're on 74 just outside of ah Sunman, Indiana.
00:09:48
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
hu And the low pressure, tire pressure light comes on. I'm like, what the fuck is this? Did you tell her to get out and blow it? So we get off the exit and get to this hole in the wall gas station in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, tire's flat.
00:10:04
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So I AAA'd it because in my mind, something's in my tire. And if AAA comes out, they're going to fix the tire. They're not just going to put air in it or change it. No. they You can't change your own tire?
00:10:16
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I was hoping they were going to fix the tire. That's good question, Jeff. Because I'm in the middle of nowhere, and now I'm going to be on a donut, and it's a Sunday, and now what the hell are is she going to do? You're right next to Sun Men, Indiana.
00:10:30
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
you You're right at the border. Middle of nowhere. and Donuts are good any day of the week. It doesn't matter what day. You're right, though. buy of those fat rolls of cheese at Jungle Jim's and slap that bitch on the car and get home.
00:10:41
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So our... ah So we get we get the time we get the temp on, and he wouldn't fix it. AAA's guy says, no, I can't do that. um So we go to Jungle Gems, and I get there, and nobody's focused on going to Jungle Gems because we're thinking about maybe we should fix this tire before we get back on the interstate to come all the way back to Indianapolis.
00:11:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So I find this tire repair place. Oh, you just hit puberty there. Yeah, just hit it. questionable part of town. He spoke very little English, but did take cash.
00:11:15
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So we got the tire fixed. um Was he hot?
00:11:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
i quote thomas horse where he has to has a no here yeah no He's thinking about it. It could be the scene from Where the Millers Swim. Again, another situation where I would have felt more comfortable with my gun than without.
00:11:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
However, A very polite young man who spoke little to no English other than to tell me what it would cost to put a plug in the tire, which was 20 bucks. See, that's not bad. No, not bad at all.
00:11:47
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So I gave him 35 because he saved my life because I didn't have to mess with it after. So he plugged the tire. Then we went to Jungle Jim's and we were only there for about an hour and a half and we had to get back because we had to pick up. anyhow, doesn't matter.
00:11:59
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
so we could he didn't plug anything else point being every time we do something that just seems like it would be an easy do something and have fun i'm doing shit with you guys anymore unless it's horrible beer rookies it's fucking horrible it's always so i'm not leaving and this weekend you're never leaving in your house again fuck no this weekend we're staying home all weekend i'm not going anywhere okay nice if i do it's going to be close enough that i can walk I ain't doing that.

Bizarre Kentucky Meat Shower Discussion
00:12:59
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
This week in history. 1876. Way, way back, boys.
00:13:03
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
ah Olympia Springs, Kentucky. An odd incident ah where chunks of meat appeared to be raining down from the sky. not a joke had they been snowmobiling uh no a farmer's wife uh this is how long ago this was a farmer's wife was actually making soap on her porch oh man oh my god and she noticed something falling from the sky what was she wearing went out to investigate i don't know if she's hot or not no idea yeah um but i'm sure she needs the soap for something so you ain't wanting to get close to any of that just saying right
00:13:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Just saying. Everybody gets dirty. Okay. ah So anyway, at several pieces of the meat had actually been tested afterwards, but they don't know from what animal that they yeah that they came from. What?
00:13:51
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um So she blew up an animal? One of the main theories to where the meat came from is it was allegedly food from buzzards that was regurgitated.
00:14:04
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, really? And apparently this is a thing. So they have a tendency to vomit when they need to make a quick escape from a predator and also as a defensive method when they're threatened.
00:14:16
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
What? Just throw shit up. But how many – instead of shitting themselves when they get scared, they keep themselves. Yeah, that apparently. Okay. So – Oh, shit. That's aliens.
00:14:27
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Don't get Tom started that. So here's here's the thing. Here's the thing. This event is known by the locals as the Kentucky Meat Shower, which is totally different. Oh, no. Which is Totally different than the me shower that my current wife is familiar with. I'm just saying. Just saying.
00:14:52
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
How many wives do you have, dude? You keep saying current wives. We each have a current wife. We have rules. As we as we refer all to it as a running joke. Because we never know when that's going to rotate out. Yeah.
00:15:06
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So if if you're interested in learning more about the Kentucky Meat Shower, ah the next time. sounds like a porn. KentuckyMeatShower.com. The next time you're near Owingsville, Kentucky, you can swing by the Bath County History Museum. And apparently they opened an exhibit in 2024. Oh, my gosh. Showcasing a preserved piece of the meat from the Kentucky Meat Shower.
00:15:30
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Crazy. Somebody has the Urban Dictionary Kentucky Meat Shower. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. So be careful. Don't do that on your work computer, though. I'm doing it right now. I'm sure you are.
00:15:41
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So wow anyway, I got a couple other things, but we can we can be done. We can just talk about the meat shower and get going. Yep, that's it's a sweet industry.

If Tom can come down and eat 1,000 hot dogs in 12 hours, I will give him the fucking festival. That doesn't sound like an award at all.
00:18:59
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Because this all sounds like work. It all sounds like work. ah it it Yeah. well Yeah, man, we can dive into the history of it, but that's ultimately what it is, man. um We got a this year 11. It's off from a previous years.

A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Wow. Watch it. We had U.S., Canada, ah France, and there were some IU students that showed up, and they're from Singapore. Wow. France really doesn't count, though, as a country. Fuck the French. Brett's not friends with the French.
00:19:42
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, I mean, I agree. And then we had somebody here from Alaska, too, which is fucking crazy. That's Tom's famous state. Yeah. so where' Where's this located at, right? oh Man, this year we're blessed to be back. It's down in a little town just north of Medora, Indiana, called Norman, Indiana. It's Black Swan Rec Center or Black Swan Lake.
00:20:04
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um It's owned by Wes and Morgan Cummings. They're amazing people. um The neighbors around there. This is our fourth venue since we started this thing ah because it keeps growing and Everywhere we've been, we've had and issues with neighbors and and just bullshit.
00:20:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And, you know, it's music. It's loud. And, ye um man, we're down here and and we got, you know, there's 60-year-old neighbors that are driving their golf carts down and just want to be a part of it. And I was like, fuck it. Let them in. Like, if the neighbors want to come in here and they're cool and they want to hang out.
00:20:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I call my gate guy. I'm like, let him in for free. yeah Every neighbor shows up, let him the fuck in. yeah There you go. ah I actually looked on Google Earth at the the address that is listed on your website, and I saw that there was a house there. That was going to be one of my questions.
00:20:52
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
is ah and there's I think there's a house across the street from the from the address as well. and I literally was going to ask you what what the locals down there and what the neighbors yeah think of think of your event.
00:21:03
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
uh dude i mean the ones that showed up yeah so the house across the street is the owner's what looks like the house on the property is more of um it's like i don't really know like a shelter house i guess or like we used it for our green room for the bands gotcha that makes sense so is it is this an outside event or are you inside an event center no this is an outdoors event rain or shine yeah dude um Anything goes, here's the and the the coolest part about this thing, man, is it's it's the only music festival where the the music is secondary to the people.
00:21:38
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
the people that come to this thing we only have one rule yeah i don't give a shit what you do with your current wife or your ex-wife or somebody else's current wife there you go i really don't get well i mean i go maybe not somebody else's however yeah we only have one rule man the only rule we have at our festival and it's never been broken this is going on year 12 nobody's ever broke the rule is don't be a dick yep there you go there you go that's it that's pretty simple right handle your high yeah Don't know when to quit and don't, you know, and all of that until, you it's just an all encompassing, just don't be a dick. Don't be a dick to your friends. Don't be a dick to the guy you don't know. Don't be a dick to my bartenders.
00:22:15
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
You know, whatever, whatever. um And nobody's broke it. And we're to the point now where we say, hey, the first time we have to kick somebody out for that, they're never coming back. Yeah, ban them for life. so So I was not familiar.
00:22:26
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
i will have to admit, i was not familiar with the bands that you have listed on on your butts. So what what kind of music are we talking about? Is this just all rock or all kinds of genres, I guess? Or what are we talking about?
00:22:40
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
i mean, it's mostly what I would consider a rock. ah festival. We do have a couple bands that kind of have that bluesy kind of Southern rock. And then we have a legitimate Southern rock band, Framing the Red, um who, shameless plug, is going to be at Whiskey John's in Shelbyville this Friday night.
00:22:59
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
okay ah They're from Jackson, Mississippi. um A phenomenal band. They're straight up. they they're They're merged as Southern Sleaze Rock and Roll. So, um yeah, man. just so I'd say mostly a rock rock genre, uh, you know, festival. for yeah I spent some time, going, going through the bands that you had listed on, on the bill. And the one thing I kept going back to in my head was you have put together a festival with a ton of essentially indie bands,
00:23:33
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
All independent, yeah. That are just bad as hell. I mean, they they all they're all polished. they They all had great presentation online. Their music was spot on. And ah you you don't see that a lot when you put that many indie bands together and at one time.
00:23:54
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, it's a cool thing. um Every one of the bands that are on this bill, ah we found them. through social media, whatever. Um, and so this year but we'd have to go back, but this year is going to be the 10th anniversary of what we have live music, uh, at the bash. So every band that's on the bill this year,
00:24:16
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
has played a previous summer bash. Oh, that's cool.
Growth and Venue Evolution of Summer Bash
00:24:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah. So it's awesome we did that for our current bashers. We have a, so we have a core of three to 400 people that come every year. i could put a fucking stereo on a stage with a, with um a karaoke machine and 400 people. sauce I was going to ask you how how many attendance figures last year and how many do you expect this year? You about 400 give or take? Yeah. Last year was about three. last year was a little, so the year before last we had it up in Muncie.
00:24:45
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And I'm just going to go to the full story here in a second. But so we moved it you know, basically three hours south of where we've had it for the last three years. So attendance dipped a little bit last year. ah But i I think we usually hit, you know, we're going to be between five and 700 this year. So it's it's not a huge.
00:25:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, it's not a huge, ridiculous thing. But have you ever thrown a party for 700? Sounds a pretty huge, ridiculous thing. Yeah, so ah I'll blow through it real quick, man.
00:25:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
This thing started in my front yard here in New Powell, Indiana. um We bought a house out the country, have about an acre front yard. Someone was rolling around, told them, hey, wife, want to throw a party? She's like, cool.
00:25:26
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Facebook was kind of new, you know, been around for a few years. put an event out, summer bash at the Perkins house, you know, whatever we called it. We just called it summer bash. And, uh, 20, 25 people showed up. We've got a keg of beer. We went and get a, got a Bluetooth stereo from Renna Center and played cornhole and fucking beer pong.
00:25:46
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, dude. Cooked up a bunch of food and and shit. And, um, yeah, man, everybody woke up in my front yard. I've never had a party like that. shoot oh we Yeah. There was only like 20 people. Yeah. It was nuts. So,
00:26:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
uh, 14, we didn't do it. My father-in-law passed away of pancreatic cancer, uh, in 14. Um, so we, we, that summer. So of course with the wife, I'm like, we're not doing anything following year in 15. We're like, fuck it. Let's do it.
00:26:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Let's throw a party. And, um, i was like, man, but if we're going to have music, like fuck a stereo, let's find ah you know, a couple of solo acts around whatever, you know, around town. And, uh, First one we ever got was a guy out of Delphi, Indiana named J. Allen Spence.
00:26:29
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
He is a bluegrass, twangy, country kind buddies. ah He's just nasty at the same time. But anyway, um so he was the first guy to ever play on a lawnmower trailer in our front yard.
00:26:40
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
on ah on what say Say that again? On a lawnmower trailer? A lawnmower trailer. That's awesome. Like, he even had the bars where you hang the fucking weediers. Yeah, so. Is that where he hung his amp?
00:26:54
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
yeah Yeah, pretty much. Uh, so we did it again in 16, uh, same thing. He, that same guy came back, couple other guys. Um, and then in the winter of 16, I found who's now our headliner, a band out of Michigan called the native howl.
00:27:09
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Um, saw a little 32nd promo clip of them on Facebook, uh, friended them, whatever. uh some things that happened through the year but uh with them and a show got canceled and uh we had tickets to it regardless anyway bring them down in the summer of 17 roll in two lawnmower trailers had to put the drum kit on one and everybody else on the one in front of it um and so they come down from michigan we don't know each other whatever They just rock our faces off. These guys go on to win a TV show on YouTube TV called No Cover with Alice Cooper and Lizzie Hale and Gavin Rosdale as the judges.
00:27:50
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Nice. um So they went and won that out in Hollywood. And then they they took one of their original songs and remastered it with Lizzie Hale on it. And so they have an original song as Lizzie Hale from Hailstorm on it. Right. That's awesome.
00:28:04
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
so this is these motherfuckers played in my front yard i was gonna say you're still at you're still at your house in new pow yeah so this is in 17 and uh there was about 170 people in my house and the next day my current wife uh nice now you're catching on yeah yeah uh the next day she was like hey you're never fucking doing that again um Until next year. yeah so um Yeah. So in 18, man, we were blessed to find a little campground down in Bogstown, Indiana called Walnut Grove.
00:28:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And we were down there, still private at that time. Laura Ingalls there? angles there Yeah. Wow. There was all kinds of shit there. But nice anyway, um we were still private at that time. And we're like, hey, we're inviting friends. You guys go invite your friends.
00:28:53
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
you know And then in 19, we opened it to the public, started selling tickets at like $20 ticket. um But the thing was, all through this, man, I was like, hey, we want to keep that backyard camp out, fucking barbecue.
00:29:08
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And that's how we come to, on Saturdays, we give away hamburgers and hot dogs and beer, pop water and wine. ah Bud Light and Pepsi are our sponsors. um And yeah, man, we go through about 25 kegs of beer and about 1,000 dogs, 800 burgers, and I don't know, 50 fucking cases of water.
00:29:25
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Holy shit. Wow. wow That's amazing. so i I know there's a lot of questions. I have one that just have to get the answer to here. you still have that original Renna Center stereo, or did you guys return that the next day? Dude, we took that shit back before the seven days was out. Yeah, absolutely.
00:29:45
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Until the payments really started kicking in. Right. I had to get that take that fucking cake back and get my $30 back in my pocket. So, full disclosure, first time I heard of Summer Bash was i was working for Speedway Convenience Stores.
00:30:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, shit. And there was a guy there, and he's like, hey, man, you might want to check this out. um And that was the very first time that I'd ever heard of it. Now that was going into COVID. um I was in the middle at that time of moving to Indianapolis from new Albany.
00:30:19
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, fascinating, Tom. It's not your story. So logistically, I couldn't. No, no. No, but I couldn't make it happen and go check it out back when you were still in Bogstown. So and then I was like, all of a sudden, somebody else was talking about it like three years later. And I'm like, is this that same thing?
00:30:39
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
and And so when I got on your website, I was like, holy shit, this is not what they were talking about. back in 2019 when they were inviting me to this thing to go and check out and spend a weekend. And I was yeah honestly, I was just amazed at how big it has become.
00:30:56
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Right. and And because it truly was when they asked me about it, they were like, Hey man, I know this guy, he does this thing. And it it was all, it ah it was, it almost sounded like just somebody's having a party on a Saturday at their house, almost at their house type thing. Right. And I was just kind of like, yeah well, we'll see if we can pull it off or not.
00:31:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
But then when I dug more into it, I was like, holy shit, this has really become something. but but yeah Yeah, it sounds like you've worked hard to try to keep that atmosphere, that that that small, hey, we're we're just having something at a house type of yeah thing. That's going to be really hard to pull off.
00:31:31
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I've heard people that like, hey, it's like the family reunion that you actually want to go to kind of thing. That you're not forced to go to. Right. First sidebar, man, the guy that started it with us, Sam Jackson, used to work for Speedway.
00:31:43
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, so that's I think I'm pretty sure that's who it was. It might have been or somebody he had talked to or whatever. Him or Stoddard. Stoddard Warman. Yes. Okay, so Stoddard.
00:31:54
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, look at his name dropping. Yeah, Stoddard jumped in for a year ah around, it was right around COVID, and then he had had some other things and had to jump back out. But Stoddard's the reason we went to an LLC, and really a big part of how why we got a website and why we did. So Stoddard was here for a sip of tea, but he was a crucial, and I love him to death still to this day. Sure.
00:32:17
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
You know, ah him and jake Jake and Brody, one state with New Pal and The whole thing. So, yeah, man, Stoddard's probably the other one that was a part of it there for a minute. Is is he Ivy League? Because that just sounds – I can't do the accent. Stoddard is – He's a good dude. he He's not – Sounds uptight. Sounds uptight white. The name does not match the personality.
00:32:38
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
He works. Look, he golfs with fucking shoes with ankle socks. He wears black shorts, tucks in a black shirt with a fucking white belt. You know, he's five foot ten and weighs 130 pounds.
00:32:49
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I mean, he's snoddered. He's a good dude. He is a good dude. Solid dude for sure. So, so we COVID comes, dude, we fucking throw it during COVID. um we We pulled, we we talked to we've talked to the state, blah, blah, blah. we've made We put out handwashing stations and we we caution taped off. like you know um like Basically, we made a ah we caution taped the thing off. it was like, if you come beyond this point.
00:33:15
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Do not expect anybody to be wearing a mask. You're entering at your own risk. This is like a mask-free zone, and you know everybody can stay the fuck away. and everybody And to this day, i never heard of anybody getting sick, and we had 277 people at that campground for an entire weekend during COVID. awesome. It's height of COVID.
00:33:32
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Like July of COVID. Right. so but They must have all been immunized, I'm assuming. yeah i don't even think it was out yet or or pickled yeah one of the other but anyway man between that some other things that happened uh we move it to the water bowl up in muncie which is on the northeast sorry yeah northeast side of muncie um the water bowl is great to us dude they had two stages body of water a beach we're like hey now we can be summer bashing we have a fucking beach and we
00:34:03
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
awesome that's cool and so every year that we're doing this man we're finding bands and we're finding bands and we're finding bands and we're just and it just stacks and stacks and we do 21 22 and 23 at the water bowl uh water bowl gets trouble with the state we got to find a new home we move it three hours south the black swan and it was the best thing we ever done these owners are fucking amazing people and it's an amazing property and i just The coolest part about the bash is you can't be a dick. We leave places better than we found them or we help improve them. We put in power down there this year because we wanted to put a stage in a certain place. And we're all about, you know, we're blessed to that property.
00:34:39
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
That's awesome. We're going to leave it better than we found it. And she called me Sunday evening after everybody left. And she's like, you can't even tell that you guys just had 400 people here partying for three days. That's awesome. so So my big question is, how much time in the off season are you working on this thing for next year?
00:34:57
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, well, um yeah. So in the last three years, man, it's really, there is no off season.
00:35:07
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um I mean, maybe a couple of weeks, but because then, like so I'll tell you, I'll be straight up honest. I already have my next year's lineup penciled out on paper. Oh, wow. Because i I have to start reaching out to these guys in October ah book them for six, seven months later through the summer.
00:35:24
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
and, you know, pay a little extra on top but to get them to lock me in so far out. right Right. You know, so, um you know, so it ends in, you know, it ends July, middle of July, it's over. And then, you know, I usually hop on my Harley and disappear for a weekend. And then I get back and the kids are back in school and then it's fucking Labor Day. And next thing know, Halloween's two weeks away. And I'm like, shit, I haven't reached out to any bands. So, um yeah, but so, you know, but finding a man is the key, like,
00:35:54
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
you know He was talking about listening to them and you know the Howl's been with us for 10 years and we found the Gasoline Gypsies through the Howl out of Detroit. it's a great idea yeah du they're They're an amazing band.
00:36:06
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
yeah They haven't played every year. you know i mean so We try to do a good job of rotating them in and out. but Every band this year... has played it before and every band gets at least a one hour set this year. that's kind of say you know It's the 10th anniversary live music, man. do do most Do most of your bands, are they are they doing cover stuff or they have original music? 100% original independent bands. Okay. Now.
00:36:32
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
they'll throw a cover in sure yeah but they are 90 95 of every band except glam america on thursday night this year we have glam america they're uh an indianapolis based um take you back to the sunset strip hollywood and with you go go days um so they all they are all covers they're just eighty s eighty s rock They're a fucking party.
00:36:57
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts

Josie Scott's Memorable Festival Performance
00:37:04
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um so But every other than Glow America, every band we have is are all original independent bands so when from the first one to the headliner.
00:37:13
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
When you're talking about the bands that you booked, I got to believe that getting Josie Scott there has to have a story behind it. Uh, yeah. So first of all, like I'll never forget, man, he was doing superstar and I just put my hands on my head and I was like, what the fuck is happening?
00:37:35
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And then some buddies of mine during click, click, boom, decided to go off behind the stage and start blasting off fireworks. And I'm like, um but how did you end up getting him there?
00:37:46
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah. So he, you know, he quit saliva about a decade ago. Right. Um, and, I don't even know. Remember, it had to be a music group, Facebook group or something, but I saw a post about Josie Scott's coming out of retirement. Like he's coming back to play the songs that he fucking, you know, got nominated for Grammys on. Right.
00:38:05
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I was like, no, holy shit. Well, then he got a band together, started seeing videos. So he had just gotten into it, back into it in May of 24. And so in June, I read, I did my research and I had to reach out to United artists out in LA, a guy named Chuck Bernal.
00:38:22
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
and started going back and forth. And was like, hey, man, I can offer him this. And Chuck was like, you're fucking crazy. He's worth it this. Yeah, right. And I'm like, listen, dude, not get it. He's not doing it a case of beer. Right, right.
00:38:35
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I was like, listen, I get it. However, here's the thing, bud. um We're going into our 11th year of doing this, and there's three of There's me and my wife and then and then Sam who worked for Speedway ah with Stoddard.
00:38:46
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts

But up until game day, there's three of us, 11 years in, going into our twelve Well, ah Chuck, it was 11 years in. I'm like, Chuck, I've never pennied. I've never pocketed a penny off of this festival.
00:39:05
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I've never put a single penny of this festival's money in my pocket because everything we make, we roll into the next year. yeah right So, uh, so anyway, telling the story kind of shorter than this, but telling the story, I'm like, Hey man, if there's anything you do, let me know. If not, I appreciate you. Sorry. I've, you know, wasted your time, whatever.
00:39:24
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
couple weeks go by. get an email and he's like, Hey man, talk to Josie kind of told him your story. He said, he's in, he'll do it for X amount of dollars. And I was like, Holy fuck. um So yeah, dude. So we got tickets to go see him after that down at the blue note in Cincinnati.
