Life on the lake is easy, especially when the fish are biting, the jokes are funny, there’s a ‘couple two three’ beers in the bucket and the Green Bay Packers are on the field. Old pals Marvin and Lloyd spin wit, wisdom and hilarious songs about life, love and the one that got away.

“A terrifically funny show.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
