The Minneapolis Hustle

This week Doug sits down with Chuck Terhark the founder of two of Minneapolis's most recognizable drinking related institutions of the last decade, Trivia Mafia and The Zombie Pub Crawl. Listen in to find out how Chuck, the 331 Club, Sean McPherson, and a love of Frasier all added up to one of a true syndicate of nerd knowledge across Minneapolis, the metro, and now taking over the upper Midwest! Also, Chuck confirms and adds to Taylor Carik's memories of the founding of the "Pedal Pub of Events", the Zombie Pub Crawl. 

Buckle in for part two of our chat with Taylor Carik! We get right into what it was like to be on the ground floor of the Zombie Pub Crawl, including what would be a “top three” moment in his life! Also, how that led to meeting his future Whiskey Rock and Roll Club band mate while threatening to sue the City of Minneapolis. Now that is a hustle worthy of a listen! We meander through why right now is the Golden Age of Live Music and find out what in the hell Twincy is.
