I actually know someone who drove a tractor to a bar. In the winter, people drive their snowmobiles to bars. There was one bar my dad would bring us to that had a tank full of fish that the bartender said were piranhas (likely were not), he set up board games for us kids and gave us candy bars and sodas. Small town Wisconsin bars are like the owner's home (and many times ARE their home) so you are treated like a guest in their home.
My ex's family are farmers in bumf nowhere Saskatchewan, Canada. They go trick or treating for booze - either by truck or by skidoo, depending on the weather and how inaccessible a house is. I don't know if the practice is province wide but in their neck of the woods people don't bat an eye.
Nothing says Wisconsin like bringing kids to the bar. I live in Montréal, Québec. Married a Wisconsinite, in Vegas. So called "sin city". I was like that's nothing special. Just like home. But kids in bars? That would be a big no no.
I live nowhere near the Midwest, let alone the USA, but there was a bar/weekend nightclub that had this kind of atmosphere. So one night there was an argument between the owner and some local farmer boys. Half an hour later they come back with their tractor, hook up the bar and pull it out into the street. A night to remember 😂
I think I met this exact bartender about 35 years ago at a cabin resort in Menomonie, Wisconsin. He taught me how to shoot pool, and introduced me to the greatness which is a well-done frozen pizza baked in the bar's toaster oven.
I love how he confesses as he commits each sin, then insists it counts with the priest. "Where two or more are gathered..." 😂 Great snack selection, too!
@@Arcticroberto9376This is why I’m Protestant, less rules about the formalities of confession and all that. (It counts as long as the confession is sincere and made to Jesus, regardless of whether or not a priest is present, so you can literally do confession in the privacy of your own laundry room.)
Dad once rode a horse to the bar and got "pulled over" on his way home (completely hammered), and the cop is about to arrest him for a DUI. When he asks what he wants to do with the horse, Dad explains he'll find his way home. He wasn't directing him he was literally just sitting on him. The horse was basically his DD. Cop says have a nice night, get home safe now.
Yup, from a small town and all the old timers said this was the way. You'd ride to the bar and wake up in your barn/backyard just fine. I hate to say it but it was better back then for sure.
when i'm ice fishing with buddies, once I say "my right shoulder is killing me get ready". they all put down their beers and the flags start flying. Must be barometric pressure change or something that triggers artritis? I dont know but it sure is a tell tale sign when the fish are going to bite.
@@FinbarGallagher A lot of people can feel when a storm is coming. Stormy weather is usually preceded by changes in air pressure, which can affect the body in various ways, including joint pain. Combine that with the fact that Midwesterners love to talk about our very unpredictable weather, and you get "feeling a storm in your knee" to be something you might hear a lot
@@jumpythehat Oh right, I'm aware about feeling when a storm is coming, I just never made the connection for whatever reason, but thanks for the clarification!
@nurse0857 Not sure how it is in other states but in Wisconsin they can look in your freezers and fridge if they suspect you harvested over the limit on fish or hunting.
the bars where i'm from painted their windows black, well, one time my dad was taking me to a pee wee baseball game and we stopped at the bar, he said to me to wait in the truck because he had to talk with my uncle (his brother) who was in town .... anyway, it was taking a long time, so i walked in the bar and sat down. the bartender asked what i wanted and i told him i wanted a pop and he asked if i had any money, i pointed at my dad sitting at a table on which some farmer's wife was dancing... i finished my pop and walked the rest of the way to my game
"They took my boat away" has the perfect delivery of someone who's disappointed and low-key still shocked and saddened by the event, you sound exactly like my boss here lol.
Funny story about the "shake of the day". When I was younger, I didn't know what it meant so the first time I saw it I asked the bartender what flavor the shake of the day was thinking it was like a milkshake.
I thought, "why would we have DNR orders on fish? Obviously we're not gonna do CPR on fish we're about to eat..." Then, 💡! "Oh! Dept of Natural Resources!" 😂
I went to Wisconsin with a buddy for a snowboard event. Stayed above a bar. Next day rolls around and I can’t finish my curds so I step out of the bar and take 2 onnies. Finish my curds (11/10) we grab our stuff and get to the car, thankfully planning to get there 2 hours early. When we get in the car I notice the guy that was across the street when I was smoking is walking over to the window. He opens with ‘you guys gang affiliated or something? I saw you hitting your vapey doohickey outside the bar.’ We said no and he starts asking our heritage. Next he hard switches to how much would it cost for one of you to go bisexual. Long story short we said the first goodbye an hour before and got there just on time.(15 minute drive) Then I realized Charlie doesn’t embellish anything. First event we went to started with a 9:30 am shotgun with strangers we parked next to. Wisconsin never disappoints.
Small town bars, always worth dropping in for a couple of drinks if you've got the time. I'm not sure if this is even comedy... Do you do documentaries now?
OMG! You nailed it! The Confession Bit! Watering the Ch Ch Ch Ch Chia Pets! Is this a real Bar? I can almost hear the raspy Refrains of a Maudlin Country song on the Jukebox! Great work 💯😎!
