    Great show man, way better than any other alcohol speech I have ever heard. Keep up the good work.

    Loved it your show today. I enjoyed how you mixed your comedy with something serious so that it didn’t sound like the same old “DON’T DRINK” presentations. Great Job.

  24. 24 geonish

    That was an AMAZING show! I really enjoyed it and to be honest with you… I had to take off my contacts because I was tearing THAT much. It was fantastically hilarious, I already forwarded your page to all my friends.

    Very nice message and appropriate for the start of school. Thanks!

  25. 25 withcorn

    It was great to see your show. And i know a little bit about the getting out of control. And im happy to say ive been sober for about 10 months now. I saw the path I was going down and it wasnt a good one. So i changed and i just wanted to let you know your show just put everything back into perspective for me so i dont lose my way.
    THANKS A LOT!
    Boiler Up!

    great show!

  27. 27 ratiug

    Dude, you were great man. I have never had a presentation like that. I had no idea where you were going for a while, but it was hilarious and had great stuff!

  28. 28 joe

    Funny show. A little early for the Michael Jackson joke though.

  29. 29 johnbrown91

    Bernie please keep doing what you’re doing. Comedy with a serious twist will always be better than a strict lecture. You’re an inspiration and I hope to see another of your shows. You’re hilarious, keep on keeping on. Great show!

  30. 30 PurduePete

    Thanks for the great comedy mixed in with some very important life lessons!

  31. 31 Ogniel

  32. 32 MikeC

    Hey Bernie. Thanks so much for coming out to speak with us and making us laugh in a way that emphasises a serious message and lesson. I appreciate your sharing s many stories and experiences with us, and trying to make the next four years great.

    Thanks!

    Hey you put on a very good show! That was a very powerful message along with some great comedy, Definitely a better present than the man in flannel Suit and bow tie.

    P.S. maybe try out the flannel “get up” on for the show for some more material!

  34. 34 abrodrig

    Phenomenal message. I was pumped to hear you again! Keep up the great work and congratulations with your 21 years! Your dedication to alcohol awareness and high risk behaviors is by far the most inspirational alcohol program out there. I can’t thank you enough.

  35. 35 bmoff

    Sup Berns, really great show. You really shined when you improv’d with the audience, that stuff with the g-string and that kids crap car was hilarious. Great message too, hope the people that needed to hear it will keep it in mind.

  36. 36 hargs47

    Hey the show was hilarious. And on a side note on your description thingy it says you hoped that the show “broke up our afternnon” aka you spelled afternoon wrong. =)

  37. 37 LazyBritt

    HEY! I loved the presentation today! I was the one crackin up sooo much at the stoner jokes the whole time; I couldn’t help it! IT WAS HILARIOUS!

  38. 38 talleys

    i really enjoyed your show today! it was amazing! good points and a lot that i’m going to remember… the g-string thing was hilarious…. especially when Joy had to repeat it!!! i just wanted to say thanks though for all the information and insight! i’m one of the people who raised my hand when you asked if we haven’t touched alcohol… i just want you to know i’m one of the students who doesn’t drink, do drugs, or smoke. also i am not sexually active and i plan to stay that way until marriage! sooooo i hope i can be like you and spread a good word around to my fellow students! i love being a positive influence! =] soooo thanks again and much love!!! steph

    great show and great message! I loved it!!!

  41. 41 amoran

    GREAT show. WAY more real to me than any other awareness message I’ve ever heard. Keep it up…you have tons of talent!

  42. 42 Brittknee

    Thanks for coming and putting on such a great show. Hopefully people will take your message to heart and listen to it. Congratulations on so many years of sobriety! Hearing your story made me realize that I’m not totally alone in my experiences. My mother recently celebrated four years sobriety this August, and I know how rough the road can be. Keep spreading the message, and hopefully people will listen.

  43. 43 John Kissel

    Hey Bernie great show! I loved how you weren’t the typical “don’t drink” kind of presentation and it was funny at the the same time. You know exactly how it feels to have that snowball on you and then have the snowball can bring you down if you’re not careful. Thank you for that inspiring message!

  44. 44 miller.marcher

    Thanks for a really great show! I’ve never personally experimented with alcohol or drugs but i know people who have, including one exboyfriend! The message is great and hopefully it opened someones eyes up. Good Luck!

  45. 45 grant wagner

    Great Show!!! Thank you for coming!!

  49. 49 Torch

    Thank you so much for coming by Purdue to give us your talk. It was helpful and entertaining, full of laughs and a good message, the type of show you really don’t see all that often. I’m glad I got the chance to see you in person and I hope your message helps someone deal with that sort of problem in their life or they find themselves remembering your message when faced with challenges on campus. Thank you so much!

  50. 50 amannamedbrad

    Way to go! I love what you do for BGR, you have an amazing message that you can share from personal experience, but throw in comedy to keep the attention, and draw people in to listen. All of the people in my group were really moved by your sketch. I hope you can come to BGR for many years to come, you add so much to the program! Thank you!

  51. 51 Boiler081791

    You were hilarious and a great speaker. Thank you for your message and your love for your brothers and sister is very touching and inspiring. I just read 1 Timothy 4:13 before I had came and it really struck me that what you do fulfills this verse. Thank you once again.

    Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.

    Yes, I was totally in tune with that. So was my brother. He said he will check it out soon. We will return before you can say anything.
