Tell Me Something Good: An Interesting Concept Is Brewing In This Old Folks Home

Tell Me Something Good: An Interesting Concept Is Brewing In This Old Folks Home

The coronavirus pandemic is hard on everyone for all different reasons. But especially for seniors living in old folks’ homes around the country. Mostly because a lot of them can’t have visitors and are bored just sitting there in the facility every day.

This one assisted living home in Austin, TX has decided to keep their residents busy by teaching them how to brew beer! Usually home brewers are bored dads in their 30s and 40s trying to brew the perfect beer in their garage or basement. But for these residents this is actually the PERFECT activity for them. It takes a lot of time, requires you to use your mind, it’s fun, and you get the satisfaction at the end that you created something.

I wonder what kinds of beer they are brewing? Stouts maybe? Lagers? They don’t really seem like the IPA type.

Star At Home Session With powfu

Star At Home Session With powfu

I had a chance to jump on a zoom call with powfu the other day. What a great guy. It was a super fun talking to him about how his song death bed (coffee for your head) became so big on TikTok, growing up in Vancouver, and having a rock star dad as a kid.

I also got him to perform a live version of death bed (coffee for your head) live from his bedroom!

Tell Me Something Good: Creative Pandemic Sportsmanship On The Baseball Field

Tell Me Something Good: Creative Pandemic Sportsmanship On The Baseball Field

Good news, baseball is back! If you watched any of the games over the weekend you were either yelling “Go Mets!” “Go Yankees!” or “Go Red Sox!”. You also probably noticed a few interesting changes to watching baseball game with no fans on TV in 2020. First, there were the cardboard cutouts of fans. Which to be honest be both fun and kinda creepy at the same time. Then the piped in crowd noise that I thought actually sounded pretty real and made me sort of forget there wasn’t fans there at times. You even had really nice moments like this during the Cubs/Brewers game where players were helping each other out a bit on the field. ‘

Pandemic sportsmanship. I love it!
