He owns a Sleeper\u2019s Bar in the Cascades Inn, and Brad sits at his bar pretty regularly. In fact, last weekend, at the first annual Sleeper\u2019s Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Brad was the most honored honoree because he has lured teachers, coaches, and even his wife Jenn into this townie bar. As for Sleeper, he\u2019s a bit of a Forrest Gump, so we get to hear about his run-ins with everybody from RFK Jr. to TJD\u2013and about his bar, of course. If you haven\u2019t been to Sleepers, get yer ass up there. Thank you to our sponsors, Gretchen and Ruth Nall and Bloomington Rentals and Realty for their support of the pod.
