Description

Comedian Brian Lirot tells two stories at our live show: getting drunk at a music festival which resulted in a short mystery about who was to blame for ruining the tent while they slept, and then what his first experience was as a wedding guest when his mom wasn't his date. Brian joins CJ and Sean in the studio and also tells some stories about what its like to work in the reality TV industry (Brian does camera and production work by day). All of this leads to a wider conversation on music festivals and concerts and how they are lot of people's first introduction to booze. CJ and Sean talk about some of the early concerts they attended while drinking, including a George Thorogood show where CJ never saw the first bar of a song. We also talk about some Chicago shows that were famously ruined by drinking and weather, including a Jimmy Buffet show that launched 1,000 negative yelp reviews and a Creed show that ended in a lawsuit.
