Ep 41: Frank's Brain

This week on Beer:30 Live!, the crew ditches Pete, to spite him for his long vacation. Joining Pete and Shane for a beer, Frank Bender sits down to talk about the recent discovery of a benign tumor resting close to his brain, and the process he and his family have gone through in recent weeks to deal with it. Rather than spoil the punchline, we'll leave it at this: the choice was between a drill into his skull to dig out the tumor, or 201 individual lasers pointed into his head. He'll let us know what he chose and whether he'll be developing any super powers as a result this week on the show. 

To learn more about the Acoustic Neuroma -- Frank's condition -- visit the House Ear Institute, or the Acoustic Neuroma Association.

Special thanks to McMenemin's, John Barleycorn's, in Tigard, Oregon for letting us take up a booth of the place, with beer and tater tots, by the window.
