My buddy Murph sent this to our group chat this afternoon and didn’t check it out because I was running an errand. Bon Iver’s lead singer and Wisconsin native Justin Vernon talked with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for about 40+ minutes. This is honestly one of the best things I’ve heard Rodgers do in the last few years. This is a throwback to the ‘Tuesdays with Aaron’ sort of thing but almost in a different manner. Rodgers asked Vernon questions about his career and vice versa. It is two successful guys talking about how they deal with their craft.

For me, the best moment was the mention of The Pickle. This was my college bar. I loved The Pickle and had many great memories there. The fact I could go into the back bar and a vodka sour would be ready for me. I didn’t even spend more than a couple of days there a week, but they still treated me like I was one of their own. They have an Aaron Rodgers shot there, and it is still there. The Pickle seemed very gassed up on Twitter to hear Rodgers’ commentary about the bar. He had a great time there pouring shots to the crowd.

I miss The Pickle honestly. As I browse through their Twitter, I saw it is Pickle Christmas this weekend where the bar opens at 9 am and I honestly gave it a hot second if I should go up to Eau Claire.

Charlie.
