Grain Belt

Another edition of War Seasons House.

Thanks to Elsie's and Grain Belt, and now it's time for the War Seasons House, driven by Morrie's Auto Group podcast.

Anthony, and, uh, we are packed here at Elsie's, and there's only one reason why I could ascertain why that could be, and it's the only way that fans could see you.

And my grandpa had an aunt and uncle that lived a couple blocks away.

They worked at Grain Belt, my great-great uncle did.

And every Saturday night they would go dance to Whoopie John up there, and my grandpa would be at home on the farm out there, and they'd have the old AM radio on in, what, 19... late '30s, and they would listen to the beginning of the Whoopie John dance.

And they would go off, and they'd think, "Yep, my aunt and uncle are there dancing." So we always grew up with a lot of Whoo- My grandpa would be talking about Whoopie John all the time, all the time.

Yeah.

She is saved from a suicide attempt beneath the beautiful Grain Belt beer sign on the Hennepin Avenue bridge.

Uh, she's saved by the wide-eyed David, played by Christopher Rydell.

Now, okay, Aura, this is confusing, as all Dario Argento movies is.

I was like, "Is this gonna feel like shot in a nondescript, you know, US town or whatever?" But I feel like it really felt like it was in Minneapolis.

I really liked that.

You know, it's like it was shot on the Hennepin Avenue bridge beneath the famous Grain Belt sign.

There's all these...

Although I've had a thousand million MLs in my life, I can tell you that.

And I have a Grain Belt Premium Lager.

Green Belt? Grain Belt.

Grain Belt.

I've never heard of it.

I would equate it, it's similar to the East Coast Yingling, but for the Midwest.
