Yup, it's that time of year again. With the winding down of summer comes the Great Minnesota Get-Together — The Minnesota State Fair. Arguably the greatest state fair there is.

And when the fair comes, Tim's retirement takes a holiday!

Listen as Amy goes through some of the new foods at this year's event. (Who would like a Mac & Cheese in a waffle cone, or perhaps some deep-fried corn-on-the-cob?)

And, what's the Fair's obsession with pickles? Pickle pie anyone?

Tim throws yet another beer challenge at Amy, can he finally stump her?

How do you handle people who only seem to be happy when they complain? Do you jump into the fray and join the party, or try to deflect the complainer from the topic?

Do chronic complainers even want someone to solve their problem, or is it hardwired into their person as a coping mechanism that through years of complaining now gives them a sense of worth?

Tim and Amy discuss this topic as well as the latest beer-opening challenge (spoiler, Amy nails it!)

Shout out to Louisiana Grills and their support line! With their help I got up and smoking again on my vertical pellet smoker. (Thus leading to a brief discussion of chicken wings!!!) What do you prefer, dry rubbed or sauced?

Are there anymore original thoughts or ideas? Has everything been thought of, composed and written, or, as a society we are just too lazy to create and instead just reuse things that have already been done?

Is a 5-gallon bucket ever worth $9 + tax?

What if comes packed with 24 cans of beer? That's certainly a great bargain, and as Amy would say, "you're losing money by not buying it."

Compare that to a Yeti 5-gallon bucket for $40! Of course the fully loaded bucket "with all the fixins" will run you $130.
