Welcome back to Beer, Booze & B.S. 🍻🎙️ We’re filming at Frontier Liquor and today’s guest is Malia — a local exotic dancer who has worked at Fat Jack’s for 17 YEARS. And yes… she says it straight: she pays a house fee just to work.

In Episode 16 Part 1, Malia gets real about what life is actually like inside a small-town Minnesota strip club — from auditioning during business hours (in front of real customers 😳) to stripper etiquette rules, robbery drama caught on camera, and the biggest misconceptions people have about dancers.

🔥 In this episode, we talk about:
• How a dancer audition really works (and why it’s terrifying)
• House fees + what happens if nobody shows up (yep… you can lose money)
• Why she’s terrified of the pole (even after 17 years)
• The truth about “do anything for money” assumptions
• Stripper etiquette: what NOT to do when another dancer is working a customer
• Getting robbed at work (and how they proved it)
• Her life outside the club: pets, anxiety, quitting drinking, and staying low-key
• A powerful family story: fostering → adopting her niece and becoming “mom”
• FIRST DRINK: Casamigos Margarita in a can (passion fruit + prickly pear)

Welcome back to Beer, Booze & B.S. — filmed at Frontier Liquor in Zimmerman, Minnesota 🍻🥂

In Episode 15 Part 1, Chrissy and the crew sit down with Chris and Kati Grabrick, the founders of Hoodlum (Helping Out Others During Life’s Unkind Moments) — a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit built to step in when life hits hard.

But before Hoodlum became a movement, Chris’s life was chaos.

Chris opens up about being homeless in Saint Cloud, living under a bridge, fighting to survive, and the reality of doing time in Minnesota prison — including how hierarchy works inside and what it takes to make it out.

He also shares his battle with meth addiction, the moment that changed everything, and how becoming a dad helped flip his life around for good.

And of course… we do what we do best: taste-test drinks and rate them 🔥
✅ Chocolate Crown Cold Brew cocktail
✅ Ketel One Lemon Drop Martini (ready-to-pour bottle)
✅ Monaco “Porn Star Crush” (9% vodka cocktail)

If you love wild true stories, real redemption, and people who turn pain into purpose — this episode is for you.

In Episode 15 Part 3 of Beer, Booze & B.S., things get real in a way you cannot script.

We dive into the unbelievable story of Sam — a closed adoption that still included years of updates, letters, and one of the most emotional reunions you’ll ever hear about. After turning 18, Sam finally meets his biological family in Minnesota… and the first meet-up happens in the most unexpected place: a Denny’s in Otsego. From there, the story only gets wilder — including a jaw-dropping coincidence involving another adopted “Sam” from a couple they previously considered.

Then the episode shifts into the terrifying reality of Chris’s May 9 motorcycle accident — what happened, what Katie saw and heard from home, the frantic moments at the highway, and why responders made fast decisions that changed the outcome. It’s raw, emotional, and honestly a miracle he’s here to tell it.

We wrap with drinks, rapid fire questions, and a spotlight on Hoodlum Nonprofit — real people doing real work for the community.

We go from a Zimmerman house party that exploded into 200 people (and mushrooms)… to the terrifying aftermath of Chris’s motorcycle accident, the moment he finally started responding again (yes… the “flick me off” moment 😳), and what it’s like when your whole world changes overnight.

Then we lighten it up with the legendary “Dana” story (the 6’5” stripper in Hurley that caused chaos), marriage honesty, jealousy (or lack of it), money habits, separate accounts, and what owning a business REALLY does to your life and stress.
