Video described as ‘Typical Wisconsin Bar Conversation’ is spot on.

First things first, our 50% Norwegian Neil Young got absolutely ROASTED at the end of that clip. The boys are going to be talking about that one for years. He’s never going to live it down. “Hey, 50% c— is back in the building!” That’s going to be his version of Norm from Cheers getting his obligatory, “NORM!” when he walks into the bar. His only option is to find another tavern to day drink in and start with a fresh crew, but we know that ain’t happening.

Second things second: This video perfectly encapulates what it’s like to be at a Wisconsin tavern at 10am on a Tuesday. They unlocked the doors and these guys just walked right in. It’s so early there isn’t even any music playing or a TV turned on for background noise. Just a group of guys trying to put together complete sentences as they bust balls and solve the world’s problems.

A few other things in no particular order:

• I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the interior decorator at this joint went with, ‘free beer vendor swag.’ Jack Daniels flags, Bucks/Coors Light flags, Packer signage, wall to wall. It’s perfect.
• The bar being constructed of leftover pieces of wood is also choice. No doubt you’re getting a splinter if you slide your hand across it wrong.
• That floor is 1,000% sticky. We don’t know that for sure I guess, but in a different way we are absolutely certain that it is.
• Nacho Cheese Doritos are an ELITE selection on the tavern chip rack. Guaranteed this place doesn’t serve food, but they’ve got a chip rack, beef jerky, and possibly a jar of pickled eggs.
• Last but not least, this picture:

• Look under the bar: That’s a pharmacy and ‘the books.’ A random collection of pain killers, antacids, and a three-ring binder that keeps track of this place’s finances that hasn’t been looked at since 2019.

Overall, I’m not sure I’ve ever felt more ‘at home’ watching a video. Send this to the Smithsonian for future generations to examine and learn from.

PS: You could tell me that the first guy who talked in this video is either 22 years old or 58 years old and I’d believe either one.

Double PS: Need to find out what tavern this is so I can show up on a Packer Sunday. There is NOTHING like a Wisconsin dive bar/tavern on gameday. A random assortment of faded jerseys and Kohl’s t-shirts purchased in 1995, stories about high school football glory days gone by, shots of UV for Packer touchdowns, it’s an elite experience. You can also set your watch to the, “they don’t make ’em like Brett Favre anymore!” the first time a player goes down and limps off.
