After retiring from radio at the top of his game, Mark is once again rocking the mic. Kidder is not shy about sharing his love of rock, hockey, Star Trek, and good whisky.
Howard Blues is the man with too many hobbies. While podcasting may be his newest one, he also attempts to enjoy board gaming, painting models, playing video games, and writing. His reputation is that of a silent historian with the occasional one-liner, but he is excited to talk about hockey, Star Wars, board games, and his newest adventure fatherhood.

Turn up your speakers, because after a multi-year hiatus, the most cutthroat segment in TripleB history has officially returned! In Episode 269, the crew goes head-to-head in the legendary "Impossible Music Challenge." Mark Kidder sits in the judge's seat, armed with a vault of audio clips ranging from a mere fraction of a second to a fleeting three seconds.
With reigning champion Rudeboy Kyle missing in action, the crown is completely up for grabs. The team battles their way through three grueling rounds of musical history, spanning everything from 1940s big band swing and 90s alternative rock, all the way to 2025 synth-pop. You'll hear the guys struggle, second-guess themselves, and pull off some truly miraculous snipes based on old music videos, cinema soundtracks, and social media reels.
Over at the bar, the "What's on Tap" segment delivers its own set of hits and misses. While Mark Kidder enjoys a remarkably smooth red ale, Big D faces a Double IPA so aggressively bitter that he abandons the can entirely and switches to water. Howard Blues puts his palate on the line with a "Sour Green Skittles" soda that threatens an immediate sugar crash, and the rest of the crew checks in with sparkling hop teas, raspberry shandies, and classic iced teas.
Inside the Music Challenge:
- Cinematic Clues: How Dirty Dancing and an obscure moped music video saved the day.
- The Sitcom Link: The bizarre connection between a canceled DMV sitcom and a 2011 pop hit.
- Wrestling Themes & B-Movies: The crew attempts to guess tracks based on sheer nostalgia.
On Tap this Episode:
- Mark Kidder: Johnny Blood Red Ale by Titletown Brewing.
- Curtis Jefferson: Hop Lark Citra Bomb Sparkling Hop Tea.
- Derek Torgerson: A refreshing Raspberry Shandy from Spindletap Brewery.
- Jameson Seim: Brisk Lemon Iced Tea (Before a quick road-trip departure).
- Big D: The "Naked Handler Series" Double IPA by Good People Brewing.
- Howard Blues: Sour Green Skittles Soda.

Get ready for one of the most unpredictable flavor gauntlets in Beer, Blues, and BS history! In Episode 268, the crew faces off against a lineup of beverages that pushes their taste buds to the absolute limit. We’re putting everything to the test—from a prebiotic cherry vanilla cola and a "positive energy" drink inspired by Bob Ross, to a high-stakes "Jackpot" flavor of Four Loko and a Mountain Dew "Dirty Cream Soda" that leaves the room completely divided.
Beyond the beverage reviews, The Blues Blotter returns with an unforgettable look at early May local incidents. The police logs deliver pure gold this week, featuring a cowboy chasing a corgi, a muskrat taking over a local skate park, an ex-girlfriend's bizarre step-stool heist, and a pair of neighborhood dogs with a history of bunny trouble.
Plus, the team pulls off a vital viral fact-check regarding a legendary Walmart manager hoax, tracks down the real-world utility wire theft wave, and breaks down the latest legal drama surrounding competitive eating icon Joey Chestnut ahead of the July 4th season. We also critique the military realism of Stargate SG1, review Guillermo del Toro's take on Frankenstein, and drop major release details for the upcoming Star Trek crossover hitting Magic: The Gathering.
On Tap this Episode:
- Mark Kidder: Green Belt Blueberry Lager by August Schell Brewing.
- Derek Torgerson: A seasonal Shiner Mango Shandy and a New Glarus "Kid Kölsch".
- Curtis Jefferson: Bob Ross Blue Raspberry Energy Drink and Aloha Made Passion Orange.
- Big D: The mysterious "Jackpot" Four Loko.
- Jameson Seim: Prebiotic Cherry Vanilla Pepsi and a Mountain Dew "Dirty Cream Soda" experiment.
- Howard Blues: A clearance-rack Tropical Skittles Soda and a spicy dill pickle snack review.

Beam us up, because Episode 267 of Beer, Blues, and BS is diving straight into the deep end of sci-fi logic, weird automated glitches, and the changing world of live entertainment. We kick things off with a heavy-hitting Star Trek transporter debate before shifting to a bizarre real-world headline: a stationary museum replica in Illinois somehow triggered an automated speeding ticket from New York City.
Over on the bar counter, the "What's on Tap" segment delivers a massive spectrum of scores. The crew navigates a gauntlet of everything from an 18-year-old aged spiced rum and Mango Chili Tepache to a heavily criticized IPA that earns one of the most uniquely creative "imaginary" ratings in show history.
Plus, we tackle the massive price inflation hitting concert tours and sporting events—sparking a trip down memory lane about the old-school hacks we used as students to sneak into games for free. We also discuss YouTuber Geo Wizard's intense "straight-line missions" across the UK, pay tribute to a radio icon, and celebrate a huge milestone as one of our own prepares to head to Carnegie Hall!
On Tap this Episode:
- Rudeboy Kyle: Premium Nicaraguan Spiced Rum & a crisp grapefruit mixer.
- Doc: Mango Chili Tepache & an surprisingly tart orange cream soda.
- Mark Kidder: New Belgium's New Zealand-style Pilsner.
- Big D: A blueberry lemonade vodka cocktail & a highly controversial Voodoo Ranger entry.
- Howard Blues: Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer & Strivy Protein Jerky.

From the deserts of Abu Dhabi to the missile silos of North Dakota, Episode 266 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a true global tour! This week, we celebrate the grand return of Big D after a multi-month hiatus. He drops in from Alabama to share his wild experiences surviving 120-degree heat in the UAE, the mind-bending vertigo of Dubai’s "Team Labs" art exhibit, and the precise art of repairing hand-painted Lord of the Rings miniatures that Howard smuggled across the Atlantic.
The "What's on Tap" segment is an absolute gauntlet. While JS checks in exhausted from a New Jersey convention center with a top-tier Guinness, Doc risks it all on a lychee grass jelly drink that left a "never again" grass-like aftertaste. Howard Blues tests a cola-flavored iced tea from China and battles what he officially crowns the worst item ever consumed on the show.
Plus, we celebrate the Avalanche playoff victory, map out a road trip to the Oscar Zero missile capsule 50 feet underground, and look through the April police archives in The Blues Blotter—where loose bulls and heifer standoffs are causing traffic jams in Montana.
On Tap this Episode:
- JS: Guinness Extra Stout
- Mark Kidder: New Belgium’s Mountain Time Lager
- Rudeboy Kyle: Yuengling Traditional Lager
- Howard Blues: Chai Forest Carbonated Cola Iced Tea

Is the "Track Seven Theory" actually real? This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, we’re testing the legend that the seventh song on every album is the best one while building the Ultimate Blues Traveler Playlist. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the harmonica-shredding John Popper or only know the hits from the 90s, this deep dive is designed to get you ready for our upcoming concert trek in September.
But before we hit the high notes, we’re navigating the low points of parenting and "medication-induced hallucinations." Howard Blues recounts a surreal night of falling asleep sitting up, while JS and Rudeboy Kyle trade strategies on blackout shades and the impossible 10-minute "sleep window" for toddlers. Plus, Doc shares the eerie experience of performing a live radio concert to an empty room, and we debate whether a $15 four-pack of lager is ever truly worth it.

Toss your taste buds in the trash, because Episode 264 is a brutal gauntlet of "artificial" experiments! From Howard Blues struggling through a hickory-smoked vegan jerky that tasted like sweet leather to JS attempting a truly unholy "Guinness-on-Monster" float, this episode is a masterclass in what happens when curiosity goes wrong.
The crew dives into some serious networking solutions for JS’s garage Wi-Fi "dead zone," while Mark Kidder enjoys a New Glarus Pilsner that earned a "smuggled" bonus point for its journey to the studio. We also get the lowdown on the Amberana Belgian Blonde Ale—a homebrew contest winner—and a "More S'mores" stout that was so bad it earned a "negative two-star" review from a special guest palate.
Inside this Episode:
- The "Battle Van" Reveal: Check out the AI-generated "K9 Spa" van that looks more like a triangular spaceship.
- Soda Stress Test: Howard tackles a clearance-rack Skittles soda (1% juice, 99% Red 40).
- DIY Wisdom: Rudeboy Kyle shares tips on making your own jerky so you never have to eat "artisanal" soy strips again.
- Hobby Life: Barbed wire, ice cream dates, and teaching practical skills to the next generation.
On Tap this Episode:

- Rudeboy Kyle: Amberana Belgian Blonde & the "declining" Busch Light Apple.

From high-speed highways to the halls of justice, Episode 263 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a cross-country journey through the strange and the sublime. While J.S. Gunslinger battles a 70-mile stretch to Sioux Falls fueled by melon-flavored Monster, the rest of the crew dives into a massive legal victory for home distillers and the landmark antitrust verdict against the Live Nation/Ticketmaster monopoly.
The "What's on Tap" segment delivers a wild spectrum of ratings, featuring everything from a "sugary and delicious" Cayman Jack Margarita to a Pink Guava Cider that sadly fell flat. We also tackle the ultimate music festival "scam": a California country fest headlined by... Ludacris and Bush?
Plus, we’ve got a deep dive into NHL Playoff pranks, Broadway ticket-buying hacks from Doc, and a hilarious trip through the Montana Police Blotter—where silly string attacks and 8:30 AM drug deals are just another day in the Flathead Valley.
Inside this Episode:
- Jersey Foul: The Minnesota Wild's equipment department makes a "Wallstedt" spelling blunder.
- Music Genre Crisis: Why is Pitbull headlining a country festival?
- Broadway on a Budget: Doc shares the secrets of the TKTS booth in Times Square.
- National History Day: Howard Blues reports on the (refreshing) lack of AI in student projects.

Gunslinger joins us live from a 300-mile stretch of highway, fueling up on "Lando Norris" Monster energy drinks and sharing a life-changing air-fried tortellini food hack that you have to hear to believe.
Between traffic reports and GPS rerouting nightmares, we celebrate WrestleMania weekend with some heavy hitters: Mark Kidder is double-fisting Templeton Rye from an Austin 316 glass, while Rudeboy Kyle welcomes the legendary Yuengling to its new home in Iowa. We also debut a brand-new segment, "The Blues Blotter," featuring the most bizarre and hilarious police reports from the Montana "Flathead Beacon."

Is the superhero genre officially "over the hill"? This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, we’re diving into the Hollywood saturation crisis—debating whether Chris Pratt and Pedro Pascal are in too many projects and why the MCU feels like it’s stuck in a "Stephen Moffat-era" loop.
But it’s not all movie rants! Rudeboy Kyle is officially turning 40 and planning a bucket-list trip to the Austrian F1 Grand Prix. We break down the logistics of traveling to Salzburg, the controversial "battery-engine" blend of modern racing, and why you should never leave Austria without a bag of Mozart chocolate (unless your dog eats it first).
Plus, Mark Kidder gets emotional over the Artemis 2 moon launch, Howard Blues survives a "hop tea" that tasted like watery lawn clippings, and we discuss the proper vacuum power required for a zero-gravity toilet.

- Battlefield 6: The motorbike racing event that’s actually bringing players back.
- Hobby News: Howard’s progress on his first paid miniature commission.
- David Tennant Stardom: From Good Omens and Staged to the greatest "500 Miles" cover ever recorded.

From the airwaves to the assembly line, Episode 260 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a journey through corporate radio drama and high-tech hobbies. Mark Kidder pulls back the curtain on the end of his show, Last Ride Home, giving us a raw look at corporate radio "cutbacks," the secret world of "Radio Diaries," and what it’s like to have the #1 rated show in the country one day and be the "bug on the windshield" the next.
But as one door closes, a parade float opens! The crew brainstorms a world-first: broadcasting the TripleB live from a parade (May 8th!), complete with candy-throwing logistics and "sound interference" warnings.
In the hobby corner, LCL Geek shows off his new drone footage while discussing the legal headaches of Part 107 licensing. Howard Blues shares his first-ever paid miniature commission—a mushroom fairy for a coworker—and reveals the Heritage Center's wild new expansion: a 60-foot Minuteman III missile destined for a 57-foot room.

Five years. 259 episodes. 1,550 Drinks. We’ve officially hit the half-decade milestone, and we’re celebrating the only way we know how: with a two-hour marathon of brews, questionable trivia, and a healthy dose of revenge.
The anniversary kicks off with a massive What’s On Tap session featuring everything from a legendary 4.9-rated Cold Smoke Scotch Ale to a White Mocha Stout that divided the room. We also dive into the "Big Data" of TripleB—did you know we’ve put away 200 non-alcoholic beverages over the last five years? LCL Geek breaks down the spreadsheets, revealing that 86.77% of our "research" has been strictly alcoholic.
But it’s not all toasts and trophies. JS finally gets his revenge on Howard for years of IPA torture by serving up a bag of mystery drinks. Plus, we talk about the end of an era at Oscars Bar, the legend of Chuck Norris, and a physical challenge in Boise involving a 66-pound silver ingot.
Anniversary Highlights:
- Trivia Chaos: We put our history in the hands of a robot, and it hallucinated half the show.
- The Spreadsheet Reveal: 998 unique drinks and 8 missing states. We’re coming for you, Mississippi!
- Oscars' Under the Pit: New management, refunded memberships, and retrieving grandma's gear from the lockers.
- Travel Tips: Why you need to visit Craters of the Moon and a specific Chinese joint in Walla Walla.

It’s a family affair and a trip down memory lane! This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, we welcome back a legend: Lefty Blues makes her first appearance since Episode 76! We’ve traded the beer for lukewarm water (shoutout to "Lukewarm Lefty") to tackle a live painting session of some "Heart Breaker" miniatures.
The episode is pure chaos from the start, featuring technical glitches, a "Wild Child" interruption, and the hazards of painting while overtired. We dive deep into the world of Reaper vs. Army Painter speed paints, discuss the "programming" logic of the board game Colt Express, and share some truly therapeutic rants about the nightmare of retail work at Kohl’s.
From the "electronic frog" sounds of wearable breast pumps to the mystery of why toddlers ask the same question 40 times a day, this episode is a raw, funny look at hobbies, parenting, and surviving the workplace.
Inside this Episode:
- Retail Horror Stories: Solving the "Shoe Department Puzzle" and dealing with managers who can't remember your name.
- Hobby Talk: Is miniature painting just "3D coloring"? Plus, the "Slap Chop" technique and color-correction fails.
- Parenting Real Talk: Handling "big emotions" after a late-night Bobcats hockey game.
- TV Recs: Why you should check out Blind Spot and the latest on the Scrubs revival.

Get ready for the ultimate cellar clean-out! In Episode 257, the crew is clearing the decks and preparing for the road to the 5-Year Anniversary (coming up fast at Episode 259!) with a high-stakes TripleB Beer & Liquor Draft.
To determine the draft order, the team plays a cutthroat guessing game based on nearly 250 episodes of show history. From "Toilet Turtles" to JS Gunslinger’s infamous "Four Loko and Juice" incident, we’re revisiting the moments that made the show.
Before the draft madness, we dive into the "Battle Van" project, debate whether artificial banana flavor is a culinary masterpiece or a crime, and hear a wild "small world" story about Doc meeting Mark Kidder’s dad years before the podcast even existed.
Inside this Episode:
- Draft Day: Guessing the episode numbers of show classics to win the "hard stuff."
- Small World: Doc’s history with the Kidder family at a high school debate tournament.
- The "Worst" Soda: Why the Lemon Warheads soda earned a brutal 1/5 rating.
- Lego Talk: LCL Geek’s tips on "Banana Kick" snacks and green screen builds.

From "Electric Blue Phlegm" to $40 lawsuits, this episode of Beer, Blues, and BS is a rollercoaster of medical mysteries and questionable life choices. Howard Blues kicks things off with a terrifying discovery involving color-changing Oreos, while Doc tempts fate by nearly buying a Four Loko—only to settle on a "High Gravity" lager that definitely wasn't "smooth."
The crew dives deep into the Blackhawks' rebuilding agony, the return of Nazem Kadri to the Avalanche, and a heated critique of Starfleet Academy (including an alien that throws up glitter?). We also talk about the Scrubs revival, the "power in numbers" of class action lawsuits, and why every miniature painter needs to own a literal box of skulls.
Inside this Episode:
- The "Judas" Opportunity: Why Mark Kidder is failing at wrestling references.
- Medical Lawsuits: Why University of Washington students are getting a $40 "win."
- Horror Gaming: Preparing for Resident Evil Requiem and surviving jump scares.
- The AI Incident: LCL Geek’s fake shark story that the robot missed.

From handmade jerky to a "million rabbits walking backward," the crew is back to break down the latest in brews, beef, and the bizarre state of streaming sports. This week, we dive into the "WWE Streaming Nightmare"—explaining why you now need four different subscriptions just to follow your favorite wrestlers—and speculate on the mysterious person-sized crate delivered to Monday Night Raw.
The highlight of the night? A deep dive into Jerky Science. LCL Geek brings a clone recipe from Three Floyds, leading to a heated debate over whether carbonation in a Dr. Pepper marinade actually tenderizes the meat. Plus, we settle the score on Tajin seasoning (it belongs on everything), explore the "ghosts" of the Custer House, and a humorous AI mistake.

Is modern Sci-Fi "rage-baiting" its own fans? This week, Mark Kidder goes on a legendary tear against Starfleet Academy, breaking down everything from planet-sized plot holes to the "moronic" behavior of the newest cadets. From inconsistent transporters to the dramatic, unnecessary warp-sequence strobe lights, we’re asking the tough question: Has Trek lost its way by pandering to short attention spans?
The crew also dives into the Scrubs revival (and whether it can redeem the "Season 9" disaster), the physical accuracy of Alan Ritchson vs. Tom Cruise in Reacher, and why modern Netflix movies feel the need to repeat their plots five times just in case you're looking at your phone. Plus, LCL Geek gives an update on his "Local Lego Builder" channel and we settle the ultimate nerd debate: To sticker or not to sticker?
On Tap this Episode:
- LCL Geek: Ice Auger Lager (Junkyard Brewing) – A solid 4.3!
- Doc: Two Towns Cider House "Outsider"
- Howard Blues: Warheads Sour Green Apple Soda (Slightly sour, mostly artificial)

Put down the Silver Monkey and pick up a cold one! This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, the crew is diving into the nostalgia of Legends of the Hidden Temple (and why the reboot totally sucked) before tackling the most bizarre headlines from the Winter Olympics. From a Bismarck local taking home the gold to the infamous "Penis Gate" ski jumping scandal, we’re covering the stories the mainstream news is too afraid to touch.
The "What's on Tap" segment makes history this week with every single drink in Round 1 scoring a 4.0 or higher. We also get a deep dive into Battlefield 6—discussing everything from rainbow sniper shots and tank streaks to the "hardcore" crackdown on cheaters. Plus, Howard Blues continues his "penalty shot" model painting project, while LCL Geek shares the technical struggles of a Lego builder’s green screen.
Inside this Episode:
- Olympic Scandals: The Canadian curling "finger poke" controversy and the physics of ski jumping suits.
- Gaming Nostalgia: Reminiscing about the 3-minute "Drop Zone" victory and the legendary Shipment map.
- Hobby Corner: Howard's "Action Cam" (sort of) works, and Rudeboy Kyle picks a jewel color.

Meanwhile, JS Gunslinger takes "Dad of the Year" honors by detailng his epic project: transforming a salon room into a D&D mine shaft—complete with gold veins and arrowed skeletons.
From the legalities of trademarked rum drinks to the heartbreaking closure of regional staples like Sanford’s Grub and Pub, we’re covering it all. We also settle (or ignite) the great Bismarck debate: Do people actually dip their popcorn in ranch dressing? Plus, we celebrate the 15th anniversary of a certain infamous National Anthem performance, talk "Green Stuff" sculpting, and share tips on how to handle an 80-year-old ketchup thief.

Get ready for a deep-dive "Crossover Special" as Beer, Blues, and BS joins forces with Howard’s Cave of Wonder! This week, Howard Blues and LCL Geek are taking over the microphones to nerd out on everything from tabletop tactics to high-speed police chases. Plus, a huge announcement from Howard. The Triple B will never be the same!
The duo breaks down the "Bismarck-Mandan pursuit" that literally happened right before recording, before pivoting into a masterclass on board games. Whether you’re curious about the best player count for a D&D session, why some classic games like Catan might be overrated, or how to fix a chewed-up TMNT puzzle with nothing but PVA glue and sheer will—this episode has you covered.
Plus, we’re celebrating the launch of LCL Geek’s new YouTube channel, "Local Lego Builder," and discussing the strange world of 3D printing and crowdfunding.
Inside this episode:
- Gaming Deep Dive: Why 4th Edition D&D is actually good, the "overrated" status of Catan and Monopoly, and the best mechanics for your next game night.
- Lego News: LCL Geek officially launches his new channel, "Local Lego Builder," and shares the secrets of high-speed time-lapses.
- Bismarck Local: The inside scoop on a high-speed SWAT pursuit and a car appointment nightmare.

250 EPISODES! We’ve officially hit a massive milestone, and the whole crew is here to celebrate in the rowdiest "mega-episode" yet. From Tony Soprano and Doc to JS Gunslinger and Big Badda Boom, the virtual table is packed for four intense rounds of tastings.
This episode has everything: a breakdown of the legendary Chicago Pizza debate (Lou Malnati’s vs. Giordano's), a deep dive into the "spirit tax" of Washington State, and the mystery of the "staged" youth hockey brawl that went viral. We also pay our respects to the late Scorpions bassist, Francis Buchholz, and Howard Blues tries to survive a "fermented bread drink" that tastes exactly like liquid toast.
Whether you have been here since the beginning or just joining the show now—grab a cold one and join the family. Here’s to 250 more!
