MMM S8E1: Miller Prom Recap BYOB?

She buys good sandwiches. I've seen her do it. Oh, yeah. All right.

It was such a rush to get caught, Josh.

So, fuck, goddamn sir. It's outside alcohol. I got caught stealing a car.

Please, kick us out of the milliprom. Please.

Can you please kick us out? He's like, oh, that's outside alcohol.

You can't have it. And I'm like, no, it's not. Like a jet out.

These are not the alcohols you're looking for. No, no, it's not.

It's inside now, sir. Yeah, guess what? Inside, outside. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Do you realize the fucking zip code you're in, you fucking pavilion motherfuckers?

No one gives a shit here. The streets suck. The trash sucks.

Everything sucks. We're going to fucking go to the bird now. I'm not kidding.

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Millimony Madhouse. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year. Happy prom. Happy heat wave. Oh, yeah.

I am Jerry Pancake. I'm going to go by Jerry Pankaki for this one as we are

doing a fireside chat. This is a little more sophisticated.

Pankaki is. He likes leather-bound books, sailing, mahjong. Do you have like

a little umlaught or whatever over the E, the little dash?

Yeah, umlaught. There's an umlaught in the pancaki.

You will owe us $50 if you listen to this episode.

If you have not paid you $50, you must now pay the front desk for this fireside chat.

That's $50 a piece, a person, and that's us, not you.

So that's actually $150. Yeah, we're not going to split $50.

That seems like a bad deal. It doesn't divide. No. It just doesn't.

No, no. All right. We don't have the technology. I am with...

Jenny Pankaki, apparently. And my best buddy, Joshua Davos Scramblay.

Scramblay. Oh, Scramblay.

Well, it is a fireside chat. Fireside chat. We bring out the formal pronunciation.

We had to move to the Pankaki living room because our basement is a disaster right now.

Yeah. Just a lot of stuff going on. A lot of stuff. We're back,

and we're glad to be back. And we're back.

Yeah, it's been a minute. What's everybody been up to?

Nothing. Well, we know what we've been up to. From the lead-in,

we went to prom this past weekend.

Well, that was a great clip from prom.

One of the better proms, I would have to say, despite the challenges that some

of us face. This is my first prom.

So it's a milestone right there. Yeah, it was Leslie Latte and Iceford.

Leslie Latte and Scramblay at the prom. Yeah, all dressed up.

It's always going on when we're on vacation. You had like a sequined...

Not the only prom virgins.

Brad and his long last name that we will never remember.

But, yeah, a sequined sport coat. Yeah, a sequined tux jacket.

A scramblay hat. Everybody looked amazing. Yeah, everyone.

It was cool to see everyone dressed up. Red and pink, mostly,

which was a Valentine theme.

I mean, except Chad wore a pizza jacket, as it turns out.

Chad Bacon Burton, pizza jacket. Oh, excellent music by the Ramos band. They were phenomenal.

The only complaint was, like, you had to be in the price of admission.

Because that place is not designed for a band. It has nothing to do with the quality.

No, wasn't it built like in the 1720s?

What? 1720s?

Well, I mean, they had the big bands back then with just a bunch of old guys

playing a tuba or whatever. I didn't wonder about that.

A sousaphone. Is that what it was for?

I don't think so. I just think it was a gathering place for dancing.

When was an amplifier invented?

Probably not I mean not anytime early I

mean it would have been 50s 60s before that started being yeah

before you would have a like a powered yeah

live band like if they were acoustic it probably but

they sounded they were great like they're always great the Ramos band Lauren

Duke sitting in it was phenomenal amazing brings a whole other element I mean

that dance floor was packed the entire time so I'm not gonna reveal sources

and I'm not gonna reveal names but supposedly Someone was a little bitter about

the music and complained and said,

why don't they play something that people can dance to?

And I wanted to be like, have you seen the dance?

It was packed from the moment they started. Like what?

What was there without outing this person?

I don't know who it was because the person that I heard this like forthhand,

the person that told me, I asked four times, like, who was it?

Like, cause I was going to go start some shit.

But what is like, what was it? I mean, that was just only dance music.

I don't know, but it's, I mean, I would have danced harder if my pants weren't as tight as they were.

I probably would have danced harder if I wasn't kind of high.

Cause I took a gummy. Oh, sir, you were the highest I've seen you.

In light, I guess. Well, the funny thing was, it was a fiver.

Like, I took a fiver. Well, sometimes you don't know. It timed just right,

and I had a cocktail, so it was just a lovely little buzz.

So if anyone out there would— I should have took a picture of you,

because your eyes definitely— Well, it was also dark, which is why,

like, Leslie Latte walked up at me and was like, whoa, you're fucked up.

And I'm like, no, no, I'm not.

I'm like, I'm really not. You definitely looked different than you normally

look, so there. I might have looked it, but I was coherent.

The problem was when I have a lot of background noise, I can't hear well.

So if anyone thought I was ignoring them or not following the conversation at

prom when I talked to you, I was a little buzzed.

Or avoiding us or anyone, because no one's doing that.

Avoiding us? No. Avoiding me? Maybe. You.

Well, Jerry, you do have a face that says avoid me.

Again, I was frustrated. I had a good time eventually, but right off the bat,

as you heard in that clip. Band was great. Bars sucked. Yeah.

Which is usually the recap of the prom. Classic prom. We do have another clip, I think.

We have a full-on Jerry rant. Oh, let's go to that one.

Oh, boy. Because this is what I want to talk about right now. Just a second.

You might need a couple, a little bit of patience, crowd, because we have two

clips that are back-to-back.

One's a minute 15, another's two minutes at 20. Oh, jeez. Yeah.

Just do the... Let's do the short one and we'll, we might take an intermission

into the range. All right. Here we go.

Yeah. Live from the Miller Prom, Scramble and your boy Pancake here,

having a theoretical debate on the legalities and ethical impacts of not having a good running bar.

A lot of self-serving going on because this bar here can't hold up.

Jerry got lectured by a narc. So let me talk about that a little bit.

I'm going to the bathroom.

I have my Miller Lite because I anticipate this.

I anticipated that this would be a shit show, as it always is.

How do you not? whoever caters this.

And a guy says to me, that's outside alcohol. You can't have outside alcohol.

And I said, it's not. It's inside.

And, um, he said, no, that's outside alcohol. It's cans.

And I said, it is not. And then I went in the bathroom and saw for a while.

And then the guy was gone.

He didn't watch you pee? No. Like, they have lockable stalls.

It's a very nice bathroom situation there as well. It is a nice bathroom situation.

You got whatever you got to do in there, you can do.

It's good. No one's ever going to bust it down. It's private.

Bye for another prom. More updates to go.

So that was the first chunk of... Then we had a little bit of an audience that joined in on the rant.

Yeah. I witnessed him getting pinched for outside alcohol, and I ran away like

I always do. Oh, I ran away, too.

Like, I'm not. It was like I gave him a look. I thought, oh,

my. When I was in that stall. Split up, divide and conquer.

And I had the adrenaline going, so it was really hard for me to pee.

And then. I used to be in a rubble. I was like, I heard. I thought I heard sirens.

Were you high, too? Like, they called the police. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I was high, for sure. You were not high at all. And I thought,

oh, my God, they did have a security guy out there.

Did they? Who was high, really high. Oh, I don't know.

Oh, yeah. Maybe we didn't have a drug test. He was just sitting in his car,

and then he would get out and point every once in a while.

But, oh. And then just go back in his car. I thought he was on the phone.

And hotbox himself into oblivion.

We don't know that is wild speculation. I mean, we didn't see him,

so don't fire him, because we said he was high, but he seemed high.

Yeah, the bar was a massive failure. And it seems, I mean, know your audience.

Well, when we got there...

And the line was just all the way to the end of the other end of the building.

It was 30 feet. There was 30 people deep immediately.

They only had two people serving. They finally got a third, but there were so many issues.

Like one, there's a separate bar and they were using it for food service,

supposedly, but there was almost no foods and you could use the kitchen for that.

Like put another bar over there and split it up.

That's just a lie. The food was like a set out like a buffet. Anywhere else.

I didn't have any of the food because I'm not. I'm not risking it. I'm not huge on buffets.

After Susie and Joe's wedding, I'm not eating food there again.

No, yeah, we've got PTSD from the wedding. I can't blame you.

Although I know it was different. When I got served a meat log.

It was not a meat log. It was just a pile of, a plate of meat.

Some of the food looked okay, but I'm never eating there.

Don't even bother with food. But you could tell that. A plate of meat of unknown origin.

Like roadkill plate? No, Sasquatch is what I thought.

Some sort of. It was like a monster. Some sort of monster was packed up.

Like they had a pressure cooker there and they just put an animal in it and

then just served it to me.

On a plate with nothing else. No sides.

No anything. But a full plate of meat. Here's your meat. Here's your meat, sir.

I feel like that's exactly what happened. anyway no so I'm just never we didn't

eat the meat like FYI I'm never eating stuff there like you might as well just have Miller Pizza or,

Or somebody do it and, like... That would be smarter because Elsie would do

it. I would be happy to, like... Oh, fuck yeah.

Eat that because it's consistent. You know it's going to be good.

Or just, like, have simple cupcakes and shit. Like, I don't need...

I don't need to be fat. Yeah, people are going to eat... It starts at 7,

so most likely people are going to eat... Normal people are going to eat before

that. Yeah, because I'm like, I don't trust the food.

Well, it's prom. You go out to dinner before you go to prom.

Yeah, true. Or after. But, like, either... I want to add a disclaimer here.

That this is in no way a reflection of MCC, the Miller Citizens Corporation.

No, no. It's a great event. We're going to book the pavilion every year. I know.

I don't think it was poorly planned. I think it was poorly executed.

It's not poorly planned.

And it's not poorly executed because of MCC. Whoever takes that contract for

the pavilion is getting a losing deal.

But they're also setting themselves up for failure, And I know I'm going to

go deep into the woods here a little bit on bar etiquette. But you know the business.

You were in that business. But also, like, they were using the little measuring jiggers.

Jay, I didn't have a Nicole Curtis moment. Everyone knows what a jigger is.

So they were using those, which is fine. But also, like, they're using handles, like the 1.5 liters.

And you have no pore control. So you don't need to. Yeah. And,

like, it takes way longer, and then it was just that. I got to tell you,

since we're on, like, you got more options. That was half the issue, but also, like,

They ran out of mixers again. They ran out of mixers. They didn't have much ice.

Like, it was just, you set yourself up for failure. And you had,

it was bottlenecked in a weird way.

Like, if at least you would have split the bar, you would have had shorter lines,

and it wouldn't have been bad. Yeah.

And someone going up to get beer or wine, you should just have someone designated

for that. Yes. So they did pull a third person, but it just had it chilled.

That's a good idea. Yeah. If you want beer, come over here. But,

like. Great suggestions.

And it rhymes. That will never happen. No, it won't.

No, it's never going to get fixed. But one bartender at each bar is going to

go through people faster than three bartenders at one bar.

Well, I got to tell you, so I got in line one time.

And even though I was like the third person in line, because this was now well

into the night, it did take a half hour for me to get my drink.

I'm not surprised. But speaking of the jigger, so what I observed was two jigger

shots in my cranberry vodka, which is what I remember. Oh, they were heavy,

good heavy pours. Well, yeah, because they didn't have a lot of mixers.

You got to think you can't. So two jiggers and then set the jigger down,

rinsed it out or whatever, and

then took the handle and just filled the rest of the cup up. Holy shit.

So where it was just yet again. I will. Yet again, I don't know how many times

I've been at this place where I've just served a cup of vodka as my drink.

What were you to ask for? One time they were like, we're out of all the mixers.

And I said, well, give me a vodka and water with a lime. And they said, we're out of limes.

And I said, well, what do you have? And they said, orange.

That was Susie's wedding. Yeah, an orange. I also had a cup of vodka with an

orange. And I'm just like, oh, well, this is... So we have some fantastic...

No ice, no ice. Bars here. I want to specify no ice.

The Flamingo, you will, at least for me, you will receive top-notch service.

You will never remember.

You will never. You will never remember leaving there. Yeah,

but you will always have a drink if you want one. It's not difficult. No.

They are anticipating when you're going to be done. Those girls are like a tornado

of booze coming at you. And also, like I said, it has nothing to do with the

people who were working the bars. They were set up for failure.

Oh, yeah. Like, it's not really there.

I was like, they were strong drinks. So, like, when I first started,

I'm like, I will take a vodka and Sprite and just a regular diet and then just.

Yeah. The drink. That's a lot of instructions. Fuck them. Like, I don't give a shit.

Well, it was a great time. All in all.

I handed the girl my money and she just stared at it for a couple of seconds

and then crumpled it up like she was going to throw it in the garbage.

And I had to say several times that's my money and she just like kept crumpling

it and like staring at me and then I was like that's my money that money that's

in your hand right now and she looked confused as she continues to like crumple it,

and then finally maybe it was like an AMA I don't know finally I don't know

it dawned on her or whatever and then she didn't tell me how much it was she

just handed me a couple dollars back,

here's your chance.

Sandy was with me too and got a cup of wine and talk about a Miller pour that girl poured it up to the.

Well, I mean, essentially, you probably have to use everything that you open.

Am I right about that? No, I don't believe that's true in any capacity.

Wine? The Miller 54 that you had that one year, which doesn't exist anymore.

Oh, no. Miller 64 is not. Okay, thanks. Miller 64.

But again, this is kind of what happened. They use old shit that they didn't

get rid of the time before. And yeah, it's not like booze you can reuse,

but like wine, you really want to get rid of. I mean, maybe they don't have the budget for it.

I don't know. This is a long. Yeah. Before we get into the diatribe of replanting this event.

Like, yeah, maybe, hey, maybe the Miller Morning Madhouse plans the next one.

Well, just give us the money and we'll make it good. Get a bunch of mixers and

have enough booze and have enough people. If they would have had both those

bars open, it would have been fine. Like what?

Yeah, ice. And who didn't get the memo about ice?

Previous years. And not like the ice where they're rounding up the legal.

Previous years with both sides of the bar open, it's been fine.

Yeah, Pram has in previous years been the best event to go to because they usually

have both those bars open.

And for me, I'm just drinking beer, so I like whatever. But no,

you're exactly right. It should be like, if you would just want a beer.

Or they could have designated that one bar. Okay, we're going to put the beer

and wine at this bar. Beer and wine at this one, mixed drinks at the other one.

If you want a mixed drink, you got to go to the other one. I'm sorry.

No. Simple. Plus, all you have to do is just have someone over there that can open.

Yeah. Like just legal enough to pour beer or whatever. I don't know.

And all of this sounds like we didn't have a good time. No, we did have a great

time. We were up till two in the morning, I believe.

So yeah, I do need to ask. So it came to the end of the night and G-Eazy was

begging me to go to the Flamingo and I told her five times I'm not going.

Oh, I think, don't you? Oh, that's the clip we led off with, right? Yeah.

Yeah, you said, I'm not going. I'm not going. I'm not going to the bird.

No, like, I love the bird, but. We went, I didn't need to. Everybody went, I saw the photos.

Yeah, I didn't need to. It didn't add anything to my night. Yeah,

a big group photo at the... Speaking of the group photo, who was the woman that

looked like she's 12 years old, or was it an actual 12-year-old?

Uh-oh. So the group photo... Was it G-Eazy? No, it was not G-Eazy.

No, she's of age. But yeah, so G-Eazy, like, shout out to you,

you gave me, like, quite the begging, pleading, please come out. I'm like, no.

And I looked at Emerson Sugar Tits, and I'm like, he has to say yes to you. I don't.

So, like, no. I, like...

I was mad, and so I just wanted to go.

You were high on that adrenaline measure. Yeah, I cranked up.

Like stealing a car? Like stealing stuff.

I was like, oh, man. I remember when I used to steal stuff. That was such a rush.

So you brought in, you were a bootlegger, and then you wanted to be a.

Yeah, and then I'm like, oh, man,

what if I did scams the whole rest of my life? I could feel like this.

When I walked into the bathroom after I watched that guy, when I heard him say, it's not, it's not.

He just turned around and walked away. It's inside now, sir.

It stopped off. Just very confident.

It's not outside alcohol. It's not outside alcohol. Then he just turned around

and walked away. I thought, oh, my gosh, this guy.

Yeah, and I'll tell you this, what I know about Jenny Pankaki.

She, at the first sign of trouble or conflict, she is running.

I'm surprised that she stayed. She's got really good instincts about things.

I'm surprised that she stayed at anywhere near that situation.

I'm not doing that. But I was caught, and I was like, I stayed in that stall

for a while. Not going to steal my piece, sir.

Don't be fooled. I'm just in here jerking off. Don't mind.

Hey, hey, hey. Sometimes it takes some time with the prostate,

guys. With my inside alcohol.

No, I'm inside, sir. Can't you tell the difference? sent me up to the so like,

we had you know planned for this to be a little bit of a shit show and you know um.

The first thing that Jenny Pankaki does is send me to the bar.

She decides, like she has wine, but she decides, I would like a vodka cranberry, sir.

We gotta get a fake drink to set up the scam of a book. Get me one.

And I'm just standing in line getting more and more and more. I'm irritated.

Yeah. Yeah, it's funny. So anyway, I'm trying to find the photo and I can't.

And then, and then people were actively, they would not help you at one point.

So like I went up to Leslie Latte. I'm like, can you just get Jenna a vodka

cranberry or whatever? And she's like, no, we can't do that.

People have been cutting this whole time and we're taking a stand.

What? Now they're going to. Oh yeah.

The people, the bar people. Yeah. Well, people were going up to the people that

were, cause everybody knows each other. Right.

So people would come up and be like, oh, can you get me a blah, blah, blah?

So if everybody knows each other, then why are you mad about it?

Like, what do you mean? Not you. I'm just saying all of us. No,

everybody else that was back in the line took a stand and said,

we see what these fucking people are doing.

We're not going to be like them. What were they going to do? Murder us?

I mean Stacey Sizzle.

She was happy to get you a drink So I was glad Despite,

Everybody in the back of the line Being like We're not doing that It was all

good It's amazing We all got drunk and that's the point This photo was everywhere

the other night I couldn't get away from it,

Well hey let's take a little break and scramble try and find that picture and we'll be right back.

WSBR Superbeach Radio, the best station between Rush and Ripley.

We love playing music, but right now we have to pay some bills.

All right, folks, listen up. You ever find yourself in a situation where you

need some private time, but you're out in the wild like Miller Beach?

Well, do I have a solution for you?

Introducing Miller Tony's Mobile Disposable Fuck Sheds. Yeah, you heard me right.

When you need a place to handle your business, Tony's got you covered, literally.

Whether you're at the beach, a party, or just too lazy to go home,

Miller Tony rolls up in a shed that's yours for the night.

Or, you know, a solid 15 minutes, depending on what kind of man you are.

These bad boys are 100% disposable So when you're done,

just walk away like it never happened You didn't hear nothing,

you didn't see nothing I don't know It's hard to get through that I don't know

what it is about that Well,

the fact that it's nothing With an apostrophe I think it makes it harder To

get through Because you're trying to do like An Italian voice Hey,

you didn't see nothing or we didn't see nothing.

We saw your dick in there. Because sometimes they'll say that if you don't have

a fuck shot. You're going to see your dick.

As is the Miller Morning Man house tradition.

Straight from the bathroom, your boy pancake. That's where your boy scramble. Adios.

A moment of confusion. A little identity crisis going on there.

Do they have a urinal in there? Was that a urinal? No.

All right. So they might have the nicest bathrooms in that place in Gary, Indiana.

Very true. And I am going to take the opportunity. If there is a private stall

available to use it, whether I'm pissing or doing anything else.

Because the urinal etiquette is bad. Urinal etiquette is terrible.

Every time I go to urinal, whether I'm at an airport, I choose like the furthest

one and, you know it every fucking time some guy is next to me and I feel like

he's looking at my dick every time yeah get your dick out boy,

sorry I don't know that was a weird accent but,

that's what it makes you like if you have a lockable stall and these go all

the way to the ground I mean it's like your own bathroom like a closet a water

closet water closet yeah probably you ladies have these all over,

you don't have to stand next to another lady and piss i don't even know i i

don't even know if i've ever used the bathroom at the pavilion quite frankly

that's where you said you were going i go in there a lot i just don't do anything.

So, moving on to post-P, this was my emphatic attitude at the end of the night. I was very angry.

I drank a bottle of wine and I scramble live just after the band stopped.

Apparently, I don't give a fuck. Just saying, fuck off, going home,

peace, out, scramble, done. Yeah.

I was not done. No, neither was half the town. It so says our group photo that.

We took from the... Which we apparently have an underage lady in,

or looks to be. She looks like she's 12.

I mean... Like a child bride of some kind. It looks like she was dressing for her actual prom.

Yeah, like, oh, you're going to go to the Portage prom, and then after you... Or maybe a quinceañera.

Maybe. Yeah. Very much so. Could be a quinceañera. But she was in the Flamingo,

so, I mean, I'm sure she was of age. Somewhere. All good.

All good. Or fake ID. Now permanently lives in the eternity that is Miller and

the after prom Flamingo pick.

But, like, you, there's a lot of people that really like the prom. Yeah.

Um, and you know, you, you see people that you don't normally see.

Oh yeah. It's a definite, it brings out everyone in the neighborhood.

People you haven't seen since summer. It's like.

People like to get dressed up. It was cool seeing everybody dressed up.

I will say like everyone was kind of like throwing some extra effort.

Oh, let's talk about Leslie Latte in that leather dress. Yeah.

There we go. She's Louise.

So I knew obviously she was going to wear something black and I was,

my plan was that We all wear black in honor of Leslie Latte's first prom appearance,

but much like a lot of things.

You had a very nice dress with a very fancy bow. Yeah, and you looked really

good in your dress. I know, but that leather dress.

Well, that was also a personal request. She's like, I don't know what I'm going

to wear. I'm like, what about that leather dress?

And she's like, oh, yeah. And I'm like. Good call. Good call. Yeah.

But yes, everyone, Mita looked like a movie star.

Everyone just looked amazing Everyone that I It was interesting There was a

couple who I George and Sue Right when you walk in the door there I think George

was wearing also a sparkly He was wearing a red Yeah Sequin Did you get a picture together?

No I didn't The funny thing is we were back to back Where we were sitting at the tables I'm like.

So but the phone There was a couple It was kind of cool Like they were like

50s punks They were wearing their like jeans and leather jackets Like they were

like the Oh, did I miss them? I did see that.

They weren't there a lot. They were in Greece or something. Yeah,

it was kind of like... Yeah, it was interesting.

It was kind of like throwback. It was an interesting choice,

I guess. I like the fact that... They didn't look bad. It was just like,

oh, yeah, we're the... I had a piano tie, which ended up being a huge hit with the ladies.

I mean, they all wanted to play the piano. A chance to grope. A chance to grope.

A chance to grope the pancake. They just wanted to tickle your ivory.

Yeah, I guess. I don't know.

But people's like, I haven't seen one of those since the 80s. I'm like, yeah.

Much like me. Exactly. Yeah. I'm stuck. Yeah. Forever stuck in 1989.

The Pancake's forever trying to bring an 80s prom into the mix.

So far, it's rejected every year when I bring it home. Well,

that's because this older generation has to, you know, move on. Pass on.

Pass on. Not pass on. Pass the torch. Pass the torch, yeah.

I think the people that reject me just really like dressing up is the problem.

Like, don't do the jazz age anymore. Well, I mean, me and you are Miller All-Stars.

Maybe we need to tackle the Miller Prom. We can, yeah.

Because, yeah, like, I mean. It would not be hard to do.

Like, it would be so easy to plan and execute. It would not be hard.

And it's not really a fundraiser because we don't really make money.

No, literally, I think it's just to cover the cost of the night,

isn't it? Yeah, pretty much.

That's it. It's just the cost of the party, which... Yeah, the Miller Citizens

Corporation is a, we pretty much have like an even, like there's no extra funds.

Yeah, break even. You know, it's not really... Nonprofit.

It's a true nonprofit in the way that there is... Yeah, it doesn't make any extra money.

But they do, they've done a lot of fabulous things for the city of Gary.

If you're not a member, you should sign up.

And specifically Miller. Best deal in town. Yes.

That and trivia. They are one of the few voices that we actually have in the

way of this huge, enormous town that's Gary, Indiana.

So check out the Miller Citizens Corporation.

Yeah, shout out to MCC. Give them some money. Marcella was there looking amazing.

She's my public safety partner in crime, although now I've been moved to education. Boo.

Boring. Boring. No one wants to talk about this on the podcast,

by the way. So let's move on.

Back to prom. Any good stories at the Flamingo Post Party?

Or was it, it seemed like it was jam-packed. Well, what about prom?

Did anybody see any cool action?

I didn't see anyone fucking. Did you go outside?

I was outside. We were outside. That's where we recorded the Jerry rant.

And it was actually like warm-ish. So it wasn't like freezing.

There were a lot of people out there smoking cigs and other stuff. Thank you.

Well, it's a Miller way. Ah, it's pretty. No, it's true.

But yeah, like it was kind of uneventful. Like I don't think there was any like

fighting. You know. I didn't see any fucking or fighting.

Shockingly, everyone just had a really good time.

Everyone kind of behaved and no one was really over served. No.

I mean, I did see a picture of Derek Donuts at the end of the night at the Flamingo

and his shirt did eventually come off.

But that's normal. That's like standard.

That's not even like. That's standard operating procedure. It's really more

of a clock than, like, anything.

It's more like, okay, it must be midnight because his shirt is off.

Yeah, it's definitely in the evening. No, in this case, it was probably after two.

So he kept it on for a good bit. Like, he did a good job. Did Kristen Donuts,

like, duct tape it to him? Like, you're going to behave like an adult for a while?

It didn't come off. He was very concerned about getting caught with his outside alcohol.

One thing I know is that I never left the front of the bar. So I never made

it to where anyone else was.

He seemed more at home at the Flamingo. I think I can pinpoint my loss of memories.

We did a peanut butter whiskey shot, and then bye.

I don't remember anything after that.

I remember the group pick, but I don't remember anything else.

Everyone was like, there's like 80 people in this photo. It's almost like one of those Where's Waldo.

And, like, I don't know. Everybody just was having fun.

People were still going when we left. It was one of the few times I remember

in Miller where, like you said, there was no drama.

There was really no bullshit nothing stupid happened nothing wild it was actually

a good a good does it make for a good party the music was great well Chad I

mean the Bacon Burton man is always fantastic oh Chad Chad came too was he in

the pic I didn't he came to the Flamingo too he might be in the photo oh yeah he

should be like check near Jerry Clemens no Jerry Clemens Jerry Clemens did show up do a couple songs,

and then And he was also at the Flamingo.

Yeah, it was just one of those...

Magical miller nights where nothing bad happened we get those we get those every once in a while,

like like because you could be out on a night everything's

going great and then like a huge fight breaks out or like someone goes something

stupid yeah yeah it was rare and everybody looked good doing it shocking i know

i'm trying to think of anything there wasn't any notable stories besides me

getting caught with bringing in and even that wasn't notable because i was like

oh No, because the guy just gave up.

I thought he was going to call the cops or kick me out. Honestly,

I was kind of looking for a fight.

I was like, yeah, make sure you better kick us out.

When I was up there buying my drink, the half hour long wait or whatever,

but I heard the girl describing what you looked like to that guy.

Really? Yeah. It was that guy in the gray suit. Yeah.

Yeah, I was a marked man. And so I couldn't go up to the bar and get alcohol after that.

So Jen Pancake had to get it for me. You would have had a lot of allies because

I'm sure if they said, well, he has outside booze. As soon as you said,

well, I can't get it inside.

Well, I corrupted a few other fellas, Derek Donuts, Shane Pierogi,

a couple of those guys because they were like, do you think we could bring our

cooler up? We could put it next to mine.

We'll all get caught. Yeah. What are they going to do?

I am Spartacus. And you can bill me for, like, at one point I thought,

I'll just go up there and drop a 50 and be like, I'm paying for my own beer that I'm drinking.

Don't give anybody any ideas, sir. I mean, because that would solve all the problems.

But again, like, we can't go back to the prom. No, we can't go back. We can't go back.

Anyway, we need to move on. Clown show.

We've done 30 minutes on the prom. I think that's about enough,

but it was great. If you get a chance, get tickets next time.

Some people were saying it was sold out. It was, I don't think it was.

It definitely was not because that was the reason why there were less people.

People seem to agree that there were less people than the last couple of years.

But the reason why there wasn't two bars open was because we didn't sell as

many tickets or whatever.

But again, I don't know such things. It seemed like there was the same amount

of people that are always.

So believe it or not, if you sell half a bottle at one bar and a half a bottle

at another bar, it equals selling one bottle completely.

That dance floor was the most packed that I have ever seen it for any event

in the pavilion I've ever been. Well, we've been to all the proms since we moved

here. All the proms since we've moved here.

And this was definitely the best. The first year, side streets.

I think Chad just might have to be a permanent, like... Hey,

do a residency at the pavilion. He's the house band.

He should be the house band for everything. I asked somebody,

like, how in the world did side streets was there in 2018?

Because that's when we went... No, 2019, I take it back.

It was right before COVID. So then we haven't been to every problem. We only went to the...

We missed one. But either way. No, they didn't have one during COVID.

Well, we lived here in 2018, and we didn't go then. Oh, yeah.

2019, the prom was right before COVID kicked in. Yes.

2018, we didn't know anything, and we'd just gone through that tornado for the 4th of July.

2019, it was right after the prom would have been COVID, because it was like early March.

Maybe the side streets did start the COVID, because that was the rumor.

Well, so I found out that George Rogie is the one that scouted side streets

from the city and brought them to prom.

Well, and then somehow Tom Wish got him and or whatever. I don't know.

And then everybody just like. All right. I can't talk about that, but I'm going to.

We love you, Tom Wish. But I want to Indiana Jones, Tom Wish.

I just was I wanted to. I just, and I asked you about it there,

and if you can admit, like, hey, I'm just trying something different. So many questions.

And that's fine. But we did have a lot of questions about the look,

about the fashion statement, probably from a man that has a lot of suits.

And I don't care about what you're wearing, because this is the first year I've

actually bought a dress for prom. I've been wearing just whatever I have.

We love you tom we love you i mean i didn't

know if you were coming there to hunt nazis or what but

um i mean it

was a good look i did i just i i have questions so maybe at another time we

can go into that call in tom wish call in give him the number to the show 219-200-4280

Also, if you need insurance, see Tom Wish and Jamie Mott at the Applesauce and

Chesterton, I believe they're in.

They're right in the complex that used to have the registry or whatever.
