About this listen

In this wild ride of an episode, the guys dive deep into Boatnik, Grants Pass' legendary riverfront festival, tracing its roots from the Gladiola Festival and BBQ bear burgers to today’s full-blown boat races and carnivals. Along the way, they roast everything from parade politics and golf drama to papal elections and Real ID madness.

Expect unfiltered stories, side-splitting rants, and a surprising dose of local history and nonprofit hustle. Whether it's dodging weird parade applicants, debating Pope-worthy candidates, or mocking old-school moonshiners, this episode blends cigar-lounge banter with real talk about growth, change, and giving back.

Recorded live in the Cigar Cave and fueled by Steam Distillery, this episode is packed with laughs, local love, and just the right amount of chaos. If you’ve ever wondered how a festival with a drinking problem turned into Oregon’s second-largest event, this one’s for you.

🎧 Tune in, light up, and enjoy the burn.
