Krissy cracks open a beer and immediately spirals because apparently we’re at a point in society where someone looked at a historic asylum — a site tied to one of the most important disability rights cases in U.S. history — and said, “you know what would look great here? Servers.”Yeah. No. We’re talking about that.This week’s Fuckery Report breaks down AI data centers — what they actually are (hint: not a magical little cloud), why they’re being built everywhere, and the very real costs no one’s talking about: massive water usage, insane energy demands, environmental strain, and communities getting bulldozed for tech infrastructure they don’t even benefit from.Then in The Long Pour, we dive into the full history of Pennhurst Asylum (Pennhurst State School and Hospital) — the overcrowding, the abuse, the lawsuit that went all the way to the Supreme Court, and the fight that helped shape disability rights in America. This isn’t just a “haunted place”… this is a place that mattered. Still matters.And now it’s at risk of being demolished…for an AI data center.On that ground.Be so unbelievably serious.This episode is part history, part rage spiral, and part “how did we learn absolutely nothing.”If you’re feeling a little unwell after this one… good. That means you’re paying attention. Sign the petition to protect Pennhurst:https://www.change.org/p/protect-pennhurst-from-data-center-developmentBecause we can build data centers literally anywhere…but maybe we stop building them on top of places where people already weren’t allowed to rest.Pour one out. This one’s heavy. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.

This month on Sports and Songs, Dan and Andy crank up the volume and take a deep dive into the 1989 self-titled debut album from Badlands. Joining the show is special guest TJ from Bizon Bitz on the Beer Belly Sports Radio Network, bringing his thoughts on one of the most underrated hard rock records of the late ‘80s. The guys break down the bluesy, heavy sound that helped Badlands stand out during the peak of the hair metal era, powered by the incredible guitar work of Jake E. Lee and the unmistakable vocals of Ray Gillen. Dan, Andy, and TJ go track-by-track through highlights like “High Wire,” “Dreams in the Dark,” and “Winter’s Call,” discussing the band’s legacy, why the album still holds up today, and how it fits into the rock landscape of 1989. As always, the conversation blends music history, personal memories, and a little sports talk along the way—because on Sports and Songs, everything eventually comes back to the game. #SportsAndSongs #Badlands #JakeELee #RayGillen #1989Rock #ClassicRock #HardRock #AlbumReview #BeerBellySports #BBSRN #BizonBitz #Podcast #MusicPodcast #RockHistoryBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.

Krissy cracks open a beer and immediately spirals over the Scream copycat effect — because apparently some people watched a horror movie about media obsession and thought it was a career path.  This week on Brews with Boos, we’re dragging the clout-chasing Ghostface wannabes who killed for “legacy,” breaking down the psychology of copycat killers in The Fuckery Report, and then diving into The Long Pour to remember the real victims — Gina Castillo, Alisson Cambier, and Cassie Jo Stoddart. Horror movies don’t make murderers. Pathetic, attention-starved losers do. We’re not romanticizing killers. We’re saying the victims’ names and roasting the cosplay criminals into oblivion. Cheers to that, my little ghosties. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.

This week on Sports and Songs, Andy dives into one of his favorite crossover topics — former athletes who traded shoulder pads for stage lights 🎤🏈 Today’s spotlight? Former NFL defensive lineman Mike Reid. Before he was writing hit country songs, Reid made his name on the football field — but Andy takes a closer look at his musical chapter, reviewing the 1991 album “Turning for Home.” How does a former NFL star translate life lessons from the gridiron into heartfelt country storytelling? Andy breaks down the songwriting, production, standout tracks, and whether the album holds up decades later. Is it a hidden gem? A solid effort? Or a curiosity piece in the world of sports-meets-music? Dan chimes in with his thoughts as the guys continue blending sports history and music nostalgia — because on Sports and Songs, no topic is off limits when it involves athletes, albums, and opinions. From the trenches to the charts — this one’s a fun ride. #SportsAndSongs #MikeReid #TurningForHome #FormerAthletes #NFLToCountry #SportsAndMusic #AlbumReview #BeerBellySports #BBSRNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.

Krissy cracks open a beer and re-watches the Scream franchise like a completely rational adult… which obviously spirals into the real-life horror that inspired Ghostface.This week’s Fuckery Report dives into killers who built alter egos and hid behind masks — from John Wayne Gacy’s clown routine to BTK’s self-branded ego implosion. Because the mask is never random. It’s infrastructure.We finish with The Long Pour on Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper — the real-life killer whose 1990 murder spree terrorized a university and helped shape the Scream movies. Five students. Four days. A man in a tent who thought he was becoming a superstar. He wasn’t a legend.He was a man in the woods with an ego and a knife.Grab a drink. Lock your doors.

Yeah… let that sink in. TJ breaks it all down and asks the big questions Bison Nation is already debating at Scheels and every tailgate in Fargo: 🏈 Do the Bison need to recruit differently now that they’re moving up? 🏈 Is the FargoDome big enough for this next chapter? 🏈 What does this mean for rivalries, NIL, and the national spotlight? 🏈 Are we ready for week-in, week-out Mountain West competition? From roster depth to travel budgets, from Dome capacity to recruiting pipelines — TJ isn’t dodging anything. If it’s being whispered in the parking lot before kickoff, it’s being talked about here. The move to the Mountain West isn’t just a schedule change… it’s a statement. And TJ is here to make sure Bison Nation understands what’s next. Strap in.
