Beer Barrel Polka

You're right.

A lot of them is Beer Barrel Polka.

It was ticket sales.

This goes back even before we were married.

And as we're going to the Wisconsin game, first we went to the Badger Bash where the marching band plays, and you know why I'm, I'm there in the, the pep rally at Union South? I run into friends who were youth leaders with us 15 years ago, and now they've moved up north and retired, and we got to visit with them and, and then did you know the, the, the Beer Barrel Polka that they always dance at the end of the pep rally and Mr.

Pompey, the, the director of the University of Wisconsin Marching Band is, always dances with someone? And my daughter Ruth says, "Hey, Dad, that's my friend from school," because their older sibling is in the marching band.

And then we get to the upper deck of Camp Randall, and we're having a great time, beautiful weather, I'm so excited to be there, and then all of a sudden I realize that one of Josh Williams' friends who I'd met at the Craig football game sees me, and he comes up, and now I'm greeting Chris in the upper deck of the Badger game.

Well, every Oktoberfest when we start, we always play, you know, um, Barrel Barrel Polka.

You know, Roll Out the Barrel, that's always our big opener.

And then I sang to her, roll out the barrel.

And the other guy's looking at him going, oh, yeah.

He goes, yeah.

And she's kind of nuzzling up against me and kind of kissing my neck a little bit.

And we get into the room and we sit on the edge of the bed.

And I don't know Roll Out the Barrel, so I fucked her.

Anyway.
