Chicago’s favorite purveyors of bacchanalia, The Beer Nuts, are playing their final show on Halloween night this year. Before they call it a day, they jump in the Mazda to tell stories that can’t be repeated at work or in uptight company. Seriously: NSFW, and not for delicate ears.

We grabbed some amazing subs from the “very Chicago” Bari Italian Subs (1120 W Grand Ave #1, Chicago, IL 60642) and discussed:

• The Beer Nuts album “Can’t Say No” couldn’t be released in the present day.
• A horrible “Car Con Carne first” happens within minutes of recording. It was  horrific. It required opening the “fog roof.”
• Beer Nuts history, starting with Joe getting kicked out of Ministry.
• The intense heat of Bari’s hot giardiniera.
• The Beer Nuts pulled a “bait and switch” on Car Con Carne.
• Joe was given a list of things he couldn’t say on the podcast. It wasn’t honored.
• “Rock and roll should be dangerous”
• The Beer Nuts’ record deal with Hollywood Records. It was a brief experience.
• Stripper stories.
• The worst nacho platter in the history of food.
• The band pre-gamed with Icehouse beer before the podcast.
• The beginning of what became the Double Door Halloween shows.
• That time Herb played poker with Jimmy Chamberlin…
• “Have you ever played sober?”
• Herb’s on-stage “ghosting” where he was so drunk he just left the stage.
• The Beer Nuts’ break up may actually save some lives.
• Show memories: Herb’s choice comment at the Viper Room,
• “Herb spilled a beer on a porn star at Motorhead.”
• A horrible, horrible story about an adult accessory. Again, this episode is very NSFW.
• Too much conversation about Billy Squier.
• The hauntings of Liar’s Club.
• The Local H video shoot in the Liar’s Club basement.
• When the band thought we were done recording, they shared one final rock and roll story.
