I didn’t realize how midwestern I was until I found you , both parents from Milwaukee, but born and raised in Houston tx , I’m such a mix , i die laughing with you , I have tickets for San Antonio , can’t wait to see you there !! Safe travels !!! Love you !!

I met not met but found Charlie Berens on YouTube and love his content there and it’s also amazing here. Love from a 14 almost 15 year old living in Colorado from Green Bay Wisconsin GO PACK GO!!

Within ten minutes of the interview with Adam Pawlak you’re given the perfect demonstration as to why some people should not have dogs. It got progressively worse. Had to shut it off.

This is the best episode ever

Charlie is the best!!

Charlie is so funny. Anytime I need a laugh, I watch his videos or listen to the podcast!

Love this one. I had no idea it was a thing until January. I had seen da YouTube channel but just discovered dis. Keep up the good work! Keep ‘er movin! Watch for deer! ⚠️🦌 The grandma episode is the best. I love your content. The grandma story’s are the best. Gave 20 bucks and she won 18,000 lol 😂 And you got back 20 😭😂

I learned of Charlie through The Holderness Family. This morning, watched Holderness video about saving boxes, then noticed the latest Cripescast had Penn & Kim Holderness on…and they talked about the saving boxes video! 😂 Great episode, great podcast. I thoroughly enjoy Charlie’s comedy and the guests he has on. The episode with Charlie’s parents is one of my faves too.

Your family is unhinged. I cannot express how much I enjoyed your banter en route to the casino. I miss my grandmother and aunt tremendously and it made me feel like home. Shoutout to Lois as well! Glad y’all watched out for deer, and thank you for this episode!

Cripescast is a great combination of thoughtful interviews and fun banter. Charlie’s love of family and Wisconsin culture warm the hearts of us Wisconsinites and I’m sure these traits are relatable throughout the Midwest & beyond.

Laughing because the first thing that popped in my head was a Time Machine like Back to the Future, but then I realized what Charlie was referencing in Episode 157. Thanks for the laugh! Dedicated fan from MKE.

This podcast is a highlight of my week. Such inspirational, informative and positive interviews mixed in with fun ways of getting to see Charlie’s personality. Thank you, Cripescast team, for working hard and putting out an amazing weekly podcast that showcases one of the best places to be… the Midwest!

Charlie does a great job interviewing people from all over the Midwest. I feel like I learn something new each podcast! I really liked the interviews with David Koechner and Skylar Grey as I’m a huge fan of The Office and Skylar is such a talented writer and singer. If I could make a suggestion it would be to interview Jerry Wanek, one of the producers of Supernatural as he’s from my hometown Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

I love the podcast and your YouTube

I’m not sure what I clicked or watched on Facebook to make them suggest that I might be interested in Charlie, but for once they were right! I had never heard of him but I kept seeing ads for Charlie’s YouTube stand up special so I decided to check it out. I really enjoyed it. From there I went to his videos/shorts and then finally found this podcast. I went back to the first episode and have listened to them in order, I’m up to #63 now. Funny, interesting, informative and just throughly enjoyable. I’m not from and actually have never been to the Midwest but this is a podcast for everyone not just midwesterners (as he sometimes says). From listening you can tell that Charlie is a very decent human being and I’m happy to be a member of his fan club. Charlie, any chance you’ll ever have Bob Ueker on?

Great content. I especially like the episodes with Charlie’s family. Users need to work pretty hard to get the latest podcast (since order is “oldest first,” l) but, for new fans this might be the proper order. Don’t forget to check out the Manitowoc Minute on YouTube. Especially the Bloody Mary and Brandy Old Fashioned episodes.

Merry Christmas y’all and happy new year and Go Packers!! Huge fan of them and f the bears and Thank you Charlie for this and watch out for deer and God bless

Your commencement was great! Never heard of you before that. I was there and am now listening to your podcasts. So fun! Thanks tons hey!

Just recently started listening to this pod. I’ve been skipping around and listened to the episode with Grandma Sue. I had such a smile on my face listening; it was so sweet and wholesome and reminded me of having those conversations with my grandmas who have passed. You have such a special treasure in that episode for years to come, Charlie! Thanks for sharing your gift of humor and humility with us!

How did I follow you this long on the YouTube and not know about your podcast???? Better late than never. Great podcast and great show at the Wisconsin State Fair!!

Your funniest bits are with Bill. After listening to the podcast with him as a guest, he’s naturally funny. And the fact that he brought up Kyle Dunnigan…this guy knows comedy. So what we’re Bill’s jokes that would’ve gotten edited out?😂 Patreon it maybe? You’re always great too Charlie, keep up the content👏🏼

When I heard that you have a podcast, I assumed it would be some skits or some type of comedy podcast using your accent. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is an interview podcast. Not only are you very well researched on your guests but you have guests from all walks of life, which gives a very wide range of content for all types of listeners. I also love that you throw in your accent for your ads. This is quickly turning into one of my favorite podcasts!

Love the show. Keep em coming there fella!

listen to Charlie. Seriously. I'm not joking.

Charlie is a comedic pro and skillful journalist. (Kudos for not pigeonholing yourself. I love that you and your topics are multidimensional.) As a Catholic Minnesotan and journalist by trade, I relate to so much of this. (God bless Grandma Sue!) I laugh, I cry, and I think. Keep up the excellent work. And, of course, keep ‘er movin’.

I love your tictoks and wanted something more and this is it

Heart felt, educational, hilarious. Well done guys 👏👏

Charlie. I loved this interview. You made this interview feel like we were all sitting at my house playing euchre having a great time. It’s nice to know AJ is a down to earth kid doing his best. I love that he is all in living in Wisconsin. He seems like a guy you want to just be around just because he’s a nice guy. Not because he’s a Green Bay Packer. Thanks for doing these pod casts. Tell your folks I say hi. And watch out for deer.

Go packer

Love this podcast! Not even from the midwest and thoroughly enjoy this show. Really appreciate the diverse guests, perspectives and opportunities to learn and laugh.

Education vs. Entertainment? Enjoyed this one about Milwaukee recycling but I was stumped when Charlie was asking guest Samantha about specific items that can be recycled. She answered “yeah no” for many items . Then I remembered she’s from Wisconsin and Charlie taught me that answer actually means “no”!! Episode idea: explore The Lake Effect, or Midwest fruit growers. Lastly for Charlie, you can drop the Manitowoc Minute character in your intros. You’re funny just as you are. Keep up the good work! Tell Grandma Sue I say hi, and watch out for December tornadoes.

Charlie is a wonderful interviewer and really puts his journalist skills into his Podcasts. I realized how knowledgeable and thoughtful he truly is. He is able to capture and interview and sync with his guests. I’m just a person in the central US who found him on FB & You Tube. He keeps me smiling & reinvigorated me to follow the Packers and take a trip to Wisconsin to freeze my toes off. Thanks Charlie.

Great podcast! I started listening only about a month ago and already listened to them all! I love the variety of guests and learn quite a bit from your interviews. I’m looking forward to seeing you tonight at the Resch Center! (Say hi to your brother John for me! I worked with him in DePere!)

I absolutely love the Cripescast! Being born and raised in MN, it so great to finally have some true representation on how great the Midwest is! All of the guests are so interesting and entertaining. Thank you Charlie for making my commute and drives to the lake cabin fun. I also now am aware that I say “ope” a thousand time per day. Uffda! Keep ‘er moving!

I never knew I would get so much self help from a Midwest documentary podcast. No but seriously he's a true Wisconsinite, good guy, hard worker with the right mind, and kinda funny, ya know what I mean? Go pack

Charlie: I’m from Illinois, was raised Lutheran, my name is KAREN, and I’m a Bears fan! In spite of all that, I love your humor and really enjoy your podcasts. You seem very genuine, thoughtful, and surprisingly intelligent! Just kidding on the surprisingly part but you know I have to give you some grief, after all I am a FIB, but also a happy listener. Take care, Karen

Love the podcast, it helps me get through my 12 hours work days! Saw you walking in to the West Bend Theater tonight (I couldn’t go since I had to take my daughter to piano lessons). I must say you are taller than I expected. Keep up the good work

Thank you so much for your interview with Chris Vos. It was very interesting. I had never heard of The Record Company so I listened to some of their songs and I love them so much I bought both of their CD’s. Love the podcast. You have so many interesting guests. Tell your folks hi and watch out for deer.

This talk with your Grams melted my heart. I had to send to my mom & dad to listen to—the part about her giving you only your $20 back after an 1800 win from Bowler cracked me up. I’ve lived in Wisconsin my whole life but moved to MN for work after college & it just really makes me appreciate everything Wisconsin. Thank you for putting out hilarious content & creating this wonderful merch! Just bought the WI crest hoodie. Even my coworker in OH is a fan & she sent me the Go Packers & F*** the Bears pint glass for my birthday. Perfect for my bloodies. Thanks again & God bless you & your family💚💛

Always super interesting guests that inspire me to learn more about, and visit more places in my home state of Wisconsin! Thank you for keeping this going Charlie, I’m a more proud Wisconsinite after every episode!

I’ve listened to every episode, and really enjoy it! It showcases all the good that can come from the Midwest, and I’m so glad we have this kind of representation!

Have liked the variety of guests but I think one of my favorites (or maybe THE favorite) has been Grandma Sue! Such a sweetheart. You are lucky to have her Charlie; it’s clear you know that because your love for each other was evident on the episode.

Hello from Denver, Colorado! I found your podcast when I was looking for something light hearted to listen to during the pandemic. My family hails from South Eastern Minnesota and has sent me lots of Manitowoc Minute shorts. I thought I would be hearing that voice (and character) when I started listening but was pleasantly surprised to hear your real voice and great podcasting skills. A fun story that I thought I would share: I was at the deli counter in the local grocery store in Denver and saw a young woman with a shirt that said “Keep er’ movin.” I had to discretely go around her to make sure I saw the whole shirt. It was a Manitowoc Minute shirt! I started babbling at her about your podcast (she knows it too!) and we both agreed it was great to listen to. She walked away and then, SAS - the guy behind the deli counter hands me my turkey and goes “and tell your folks I says hi.” And I found another new friend to share our midwest background and love of your podcast. I appreciate the variety in guests - but have you thought about bringing on a health care provider? And can you bring back the Craigslist gifts?!? Thanks so much, “A nice place to be from.”

Wow, Charlie, I’ve been a listener for a while, and the podcast just seems to be getting better and better. The interview with Roy Woods is excellent and eye-opening. This stuff goes so far afield from the Manitowoc Minute, but in a really good way… like having lots of tasty choices on a Beren’s Buffet. Keep up the good work!

I love this podcast it’s great! I love your video’s and when I heard you had a podcast I just had to listen to it! So thanks Charlie for making the podcast!

One thing that makes a great interview show is when you get to listen to people talk and share stories without making it seem like a job interview. This is a wonderful listen! Thanks for the content Charlie!

I grew up in the South, but learned what real hospitality is by visiting my grandmother in Sheboygan, swimming in Lake Michigan, grilling brats in her backyard, and listening to Brewers’ games with her & her friends on her kitchen radio. The Midwestern sweetness of you and your guests reminds me of those times and how much I love & miss my Wisconsin relatives. Thank you!

So enjoying the podcast, from Texas! I come by “golly” and “geez Louise” naturally, but am less sure about cheese curds. So you’re broadening my horizons! Always looking out for deer. Thanks!!! Maggie

Charlie…I’m a northern WI girl living in AZ desert for last 15 years. Thank you for reminder why I love my beloved home state, flowing of warm cheese and cold beer. I love your comedy sketches… backing boat brought back childhood memories. Mostly importantly, your podcast is an unbelievable space of learning. You do your research on your guests!!! Your conversations on indigenous and Hmong cultures were amazing. Please keep presenting these conversations on your show. …

Charlie, love you, love your Podcast and love Wisconsin. Fell in love with your beautiful state while my son was in Madison and though my butt still resides in the South, I feel like I was meant to be a ‘Sconni. Loved your comedy the moment I first saw your tailgate UW Madison-style video and now am able to stay connected with the Midwest spirit thru the CripesCast. So many great guests and you have a nice interview style. Our “Keep ‘er Movin’” T-shirts just arrived in the mail. Tell your folks I said hi. Keep ‘er Movin’ ( or as we might say in Virginia, Y’all keep Movin’!!!) John from Va
