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.

- Doc: Snow Monkey Dragon Fruit Sake & 503 Cocktails Marionberry Margarita
- Rudeboy Kyle: Three Floyds "Tequila Splash" Margarita.

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.
On Tap This Episode:
- LCL Geek: Black Lake Ranch Copper Ale.
- Rudeboy Kyle: On The Rocks Knob Creek Old Fashioned.
- JS: Disaronno, coffee, and whole milk cocktail.
- Doc: G Fuel "Flavor Bomb" Energy Drink.

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.
On Tap This Episode:
- Rudeboy Kyle: August Schell Brewing's Fire Brick Vienna Lager & local Austrian lagers.
- Mark Kidder: Bismarck Distillery Raspberry Lemonade vodka cocktail.
- Doc: A $1.25 Starbucks Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew from the Dollar Tree.
- Howard Blues: De La Calle Tepache Prickly Pear soda.

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. Doc checks in live from an airport lounge to review a crisp raspberry gose, while Howard Blues attempts to launch "Kombucha Appreciation Month"—much to the absolute skepticism of the room.

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.

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.
On Tap This Episode:
- Mark & Rudeboy Kyle: A side-by-side battle of Yuengling’s Black and Tan (can vs. bottle) and the ultra-light Yuengling Flight.

Grab your alumni gear, because Episode 271 of Beer, Blues, and BS is officially in session! We’re kicking things off with a massive shout-out to our listeners tuning in all the way from Hong Kong, alongside a proud roll call for fellow Fighting Sioux alumni.
This week, a major pop culture news drop takes center stage as the crew reacts to breaking headlines from the BBC regarding the future of Doctor Who—including a canceled Christmas special and a surprising shift in production. This immediate dive down the entertainment rabbit hole sparks an incredibly passionate debate about the overall decline of massive franchises like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and the newly axed Stargate reboot. The guys break down why the modern "10-episode streaming season" is failing character development, contrasting it with the gold standard of 90s television.
Over on the beverage counter, the "What's on Tap" segment delivers a relentless gauntlet of hits and misses. Mark Kidder mixes up a cherry-free Old Fashioned dedicated to his grandfather, while Tony Soprano drops in late (thanks, Windows updates!) to review a hard seltzer that tastes exactly like old-school green plastic-tube popsicles. Meanwhile, LCL Geek and Howard Blues team up to test a highly anticipated hop water from Montana that, unfortunately, leaves them feeling like they’re drinking watery IPA backwash.
Inside this Episode:
- Franchise Fatigue: Why Hollywood keeps alienating long-term fans by "chasing new audiences" instead of telling good stories.
- The 1940s World Cup Twist: Howard tracks the chaotic, final-minute heartbreak of the USA vs. Paraguay soccer match.
- AI Thumbnail Fails: Howard shares a hilarious nightmare creation from Google Gemini after attempting to sharpen a blurry photo of Doc.
On Tap this Episode:
- Mark Kidder: An artisanal Old Fashioned featuring Batch 27 Bourbon and local syrup.
- Tony Soprano: Happy Dad Hard Seltzers (Lemon-Lime and Watermelon).

From major historic site upgrades to the end of a legendary brewing era, Episode 270 of Beer, Blues, and BS is packed with high mileage, heavy machinery, and plenty of banter. We kick things off with a milestone celebration for our local historic sites before diving straight into breaking industry news: the historic discontinuation of a classic American heritage beer brand.
The "What's on Tap" segment takes our palates on a truly wild ride. The crew tests the limits with an absolute gauntlet of experimental beverages, featuring everything from a video-game-branded sour cherry soda and a "pineapple-gasoline" punch, to a fiercely ginger-forward kombucha and a spiced pineapple soda packed with black pepper. On the flip side, we celebrate a massive milestone as the show officially features its very first craft beer sourced from the state of Mississippi!
Plus, JS pulls off a live mechanical feat right on camera, replacing a radiator and water pump mid-show while dropping some critical "mower beer" safety disclaimers. We also talk technical setups for the next big music challenge, dive into the literal phonetic quirks of the German language, debate the perfect base coat for Howard's latest scarecrow miniature, and share deep personal philosophies on why adults need to learn to embrace the quiet moments.
On Tap this Episode:
- Mark Kidder: Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy, New Belgium Mountain Time, and a smooth Southern Pecan Brown Ale.
- JS: Leinenkugel's Orange Shandy, a crisp Blueberry Lager, and a classic Grain Belt Premium.
- Doc: Fanta Crimson Sour Cherry (Diablo 4 Edition) and a beautifully balanced Thai Lychee drink.
- Big D: Mad Dog 2020 Island Pineapple Spike Punch and a strawberry high-protein milkshake "perfection."

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
- Doc: Chinchin Lychee Grass Jelly Drink

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.
Inside this Episode:
- The Blues Traveler Deep Dive: From the "Bubbly Tornado" of their early days to the Grammy-nominated blues of 2021.
- Pickle Mania: The search for the perfect pickle beer and the "United Sodas" sour blueberry review.
- Garage Wisdom: JS’s ultimate "Dad Advice" on why you need to clean your garage floor (and how to fix your Wi-Fi).
- The Power of Hobbies: Doc and Rudeboy Kyle on why "giving up your passions" as an adult is a lie.

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:
- LCL Geek: Cayman Jack Margarita & Ribers Schnaps with Pepsi
- Rudeboy Kyle: Amberana Belgian Blonde & the "declining" Busch Light Apple.
- Mark Kidder: New Glarus Pilsner & Fat Squirrel Nut Brown Ale.
- JS: The Guinness/Monster "Monstrosity" & the 8.2% More S'mores Stout.
- Howard Blues: Jamaican Irish Moss Strawberry (medicine or toothpaste?) & Skittles Soda.

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.

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.
Inside this Episode:
- 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.
