    Your discussion about your brother and yourself was very inspiring. I will most definitely take the advice. Its nice to actually hear someone who has been through it, and its relevant to what some teens experience today. I hope to see you again! Thank you for your honesty!

    Great show today

    First year without seeing the show (as a freshman or as an OL). Sad to graduate and have to miss out but still remember the show vividly. It was always a favorite part of starting the school year. Hope all is well, Bernie! Keep coming to CSB/SJU!

    Bernie thanks for the show! The show really hit home as my family all drinks except for me and a few have a real problem. You really convinced me to never drink and I just want to thank you!

    Hey Bernie! Thanks for the hilarious, encouraging, and thoughtful experience today! Making alcohol consumption less of a preaching session and more of a real life experience. You are an inspiration.

    Great show today!!! The show was extremely entertaining while being very informational. The message you delivered was very clear and i believe many took it to heart. Thank you for coming and doing this for all the first year students.

    Great Show! Thank you for coming, you were funny and insightful. Your show really made me think about the kinds of choices I will have to make in the coming years.

    Wow! What a relief your event was. I have never had a drink of alcohol in my life and it is my first year of college. I was nervous at first and wasn’t sure how I would be looked upon because I had already made the decision to stay sober while still being a minor. Now that I have heard you, I am taking a new look on my decision and am fully confident in my position. I realize that those who don’t respect my decision don’t matter. Thank you so much.

  12. 12 Sarah Deutz

    I loved your show. It was hilarious and had a really good message, made all the more powerful by it having been from your personal experience. Great job!

    Hey man, I wanted to say you did a wonderful job. I missed out on the college freshman experience because of drugs and alcohol. I went from being an ‘A’ student/athlete top 5% of my class going into high school to a dropout by my junior year, and had to fight a hard uphill battle once I got straight to get to where I am today, so I definitely relate to your story. I think what you are doing is amazing. Your message is great and I know you really affected people, and your a funny s.o.b to boot. Keep doing great work, this world needs more people like yourself.

    Bernie, you were great! I loved your message, you were so entertaining. My abs hurt from laughing so much! :)

  18. 18 Erin Schley

    Hey, I thought your talk was extremely inspiring, and your timing was perfect, you caught us in the nick of time to make your point. I hope you continue your college campaign good luck. Erin

    I just wanted to thank you for the message and how it was delivered. It wasn’t the cliche, stereotypical “don’t drink” speech all freshman dread hearing. It was unique and for that reason I think I can safely say our incoming class will remember you and your story as we navigate the upcoming four years at CSB/SJU.

  26. 26 Lavy Lee

    Hey Mr. McGrenahan, It was truly an honer to have you come to the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University. Your story really caught my attention. I hope that you will continue on telling your story and making other laugh for a very long time. I hope that everyone can learn from your experiences. Also thank you for the laugh, that was much needed for all of us here at CSBSJU. Thank you again and may you have safe travels.

    Hey!!! I absolutely loved your show today at st. bens!! It was so amazing to hear the inspiring things you had to say! It was so great because the message was awesome and you did a fantastic job of engaging us in the presentation!

  28. 28 Nicholas Kane Donovan

    Yo. Bern. You’re the man. That was a lot of fun today, and by far the most fun part of the day. You did an amazing job with grabbing our attention, and sharing an extremely important message with all of us. I thought it was incredible how you transitioned to a very serious topic, from just everyday jokes. Thanks for stopping by, and hope to see you again! Have a great rest of your tour, and tell your brother “Donovan was inspired by you!” Peace.

    Hey Bernie,
    Totally forgot about putting up a blog for the book. Still wanted to drop in and say that you did a great job. I’ve heard a few different shows talking about the same topic, in high school. Yours is by far thee best I have ever heard. You really drove the message across, and never lost the crowds attention once. You go man.

  32. 32 Marissa Loch

    Really great show Bernie…best part of orientation for me! Thanks so much for coming and being such an inspiration. I know you got through to everyone in the crowd and I will never forget it!

    I would just like to say thank you Bernie.
