+++ Daily Guinness #020 - Does this REALLY hold the skulls of THE three wise men? (feat. Thomas at Cologne Cathedral, Germany)
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Guinness” - DAY 20
“Does this REALLY hold the skulls of THE three wise men?” (feat. Thomas at Cologne Cathedral, Germany)
Sarah and I are in Cologne, Germany! Ever since I heard, years ago, that Cologne Cathedral is said to house the bones of the ACTUAL three wise men that visited Jesus at his birth, I’ve been curious about finding out if this was true. Well… it was really over a year after His birth that they visited. And… “Magi” actually doesn’t translate to “kings” exactly. Turns out, I may have been obsessed with the WRONG question this whole time.
Recording Location: Cologne Cathedral, Germany

“Give Us This Day Our Daily Guinness” - DAY 19
“Does Germany Have A Craft Beer Scene?” (feat. Certified Cicerone Linus in Cologne, Germany)
Sarah and I are in Cologne, Germany! Our plan was to drink our way through the local specialty, Kölsch, but when we heard that there’s been an emerging craft beer scene, we reached out to a certified cicerone named Linus (@koelschbeertour on instagram) to talk about the hardest part of convincing Germans to open their mind to new things happening in the the beer world.
What we thought would be a short hang out, ended up being the forming of a new friendship solidified by our mutual love of beer that lasted late into the night.
Recording Location: Cologne, Germany

Question 51 // Can A Tattoo In Germany Murder Stereotypes? (feat. Bobbie at Studio 23 Tattoo in Frankfurt Germany)
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Guinness” - DAY #18
Can A Tattoo In Germany Murder Stereotypes? (feat. Bobbie at Studio 23 Tattoo in Frankfurt Germany)
Everyone’s heard the phrase “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” but why the hell is it so hard for us to destroy stereotypes that are ingrained in our perception of the world? Craft beer is for bearded guys with tattoos right? Speaking of tattoos, if you’re going to get one from someone who knows what their talking about, make sure they’re a dude with tattoos covering their arms and neck right?
I sat down to get, what ended up being the most bad ass tattoo I’ve ever gotten, from my friend Bobbie (@noizecricket on Instagram) in Frankfurt Germany today.
The funny thing is, if you ran into her on the street, you’d never guess she packs a punch and could through some massive ink-pain your way.
Turns out she’s alot like this this city I love, Frankfurt. Feel free to visit it thinking it can fit in a nice box, but be prepared for more complexity than you could have planned for.
Recording Location: Studio 23 and the streets of Frankfurt, Germany

Is Aphelwein In Frankfurt A Magic Cure For Jetlag In Germany?
My body’s telling me to crawl into my cozy hotel bed, but my search for Frankfurt’s ‘Aphelwein’ takes me to the streets as I try this magic elixir for the first time.

+++ Daily Guinness #016 - “Why’d You Restore A Theater That Shows 35mm Films?” (feat. Eddie Landenberger & Ward Johnson at Parkway Theater)
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Guinness” - DAY 16
I’ve got three hours before I need to be on an overseas flight... that’s just enough time for a conversation with Parkway Theater’s new owners Eddie Landenberger & Ward Johnson to ask them why they’re going through the trouble of projecting 35mm films in 2019. (A decision I happen to be pumped about)

Question 50 // Whatever Happened To That Minneapolis Homeless Encampment? (feat. Patina Park)
Patina Park is the Chair of the Metro Urban Indian Directors and executive director of the Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center.
Whatever happened to that Minneapolis homeless encampment (or “Tent City” as it became known) before it’s population seemingly disappeared overnight? Is it Indian… Native American… First Nationals… what’s the proper term nowadays? Speaking of modern times, I keep seeing blond girls showing up to music festivals wearing traditional headdresses and bikinis, what’s the Native American society feel about that?
This week, Rob sits down with Patina Park over coffee to talk about these thing and much, much more in possibly the most important conversation he’s had yet.
Recording Location: Pow Wow Grounds Coffee, Minneapolis MN

+++ Daily Guinness #013 - What's The Difference Between Bluegrass And Old Time Music? (feat. Nic Hentges)
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Guinness” - DAY 13
I enjoy bluegrass music but I know NOTHING about it. Fortunately for me, my friend Nic Hentges happens to be the vice president of the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old Time Music Association and is going to be playing a concert not too far from me this evening. I’m willing to sound like an idiot in front of a friend if it means diving deep and learning more about this gorgeous musical genre.

+++ Daily Guinness #012 - IN PRAXIA - Trying Ian's Clothes Tips From Q49
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Guinness” - DAY #12
Introducing a new (possibly regular) installment I'm calling "In Praxia" which is latin for "putting into action or practice."
As I continue to interview guests on the podcast, I'll be trying out advice they've given or things they recommend and sharing my discoveries with you.
In Question 49, Ian Allison talked about the freedom of traveling with limited gear and clothing and washing your laundry in the sink. I went out and bought some of the clothes he like, wore them multiple days in a row, made Sarah smell them each day, and washed like he does... here's what I think...

+++ Daily Guinness #011 - “What does it FEEL like to record an album with a band?” (feat. Ben Rosenbush)
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Guinness” - DAY 11
I met up with singer songwriter Ben Rosenbush in his greenroom before sound-checking at his album release concert with with his band Ben Rosenbush And The Brighton. I didn’t want to have your standard conversation, asking all the standard questions one asks when someone releases an album. What inspired these songs? Why’d you name this album the way you did? Hard pass. I want to know what it felt like.
