It\\u2019s Oktoberfest season in Cincinnati, the best time of year! Joe and Caroline welcome their good friends Bryan and Graham to talk about a brief history of the original festival in Munich, Germany, and the local festivities close to home.\\xa0 Joe and Caroline also recall their adventures from the previous week, Caroline tells us what is bugging her on Children\\u2019s TV and Joe tells a dad joke about beer. The closest thing that the German word Gem\\xfctlichkeit translates to is \\u201cfriendship\\u201d or a \\u201cfeeling of warmth\\u201d.\\xa0 To us, that is what Oktoberfest is truly all about. Prost!
