Congrats to “I Killed” raffle book winners: Francisco Caro, Venicia Sala and John Granado!!
It was SO wonderful to be back up here in beautiful Washington State at Joint Base Lewis McChord. Thank you to the 201st Expeditionary Military Intelligence Brigade and the 17th Field Artillery Brigade for inviting me here to deliver my Comedy With A Four Star Message Program for your Brigade Safety Day. What an honor!! Mr Garris, Mr Ford , CPT Spaulding and Chaplain Flores…THANK YOU for all of the effort put in to bringing the program here and taking such great care of me. Hopefully you all had some laughs and left the Evergreen and Carey Theaters with much to think about. Please check back tomorrow morning (Saturday at 0800 for the raffle winners). The 201st EMIB rapidly provides deployable all source predictive intelligence, electronic warfare intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance, target acquisition, battle damage assessment, command and control warfare, and broad bandwidth communications support to I Corps. The 17th FAB’s mission is to provide trained and ready units capable of deploying to any theater to plan, synchronize and execute strike, counterstrike and close supporting fires in support of shaping operations throughout the spectrum of Decisive Operations.

I was there! Bernie, Bernie, BERRNIIEEEEEE. Was a wonderful and enjoyable show and message.
I’ve seen your show before a few years back when I was stationed in Germany. The story is still just as powerful and inspirational as ever. Thanks for doing this for us and sharing your story as well as providing laughs.
Great show today
And amazing way to intertwine comedy with an important message(s) !!
Thoroughly enjoyed
Thank you for the entertaing and informative hour. Loved it and you did kill it.
That was a great briefing today at evergreen. I actually have had some people close to me die of suicide in recent years and drank far more than I should have and got a DUI. Seriously a strong message I could relate to, and it gave me affirmation that others feel the same shit and can move past it as in working on now.
Bernie, your show was awesome, I’ll be real I’ve never heard of you before haha but im definitely a new fan. The climatic part of your show when you talked about your relationship with your brother sean really touched me, although my brother doesn’t suffer with any disabilities, it definitely reminded me of the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with your siblings and because of your story I’m calling my brother for the first time today in a year. I want to say thank you for the encouragement. You really killed it!
Great show Bernie maybe we can share a 5lb “Joint” LOL. Good laughs great message
Mr. McGrenahan, I would like to thank you for taking your time to come out and deliver a positive message. All to often we here all the negative “don’t do this,” “no you can’t do that.” Today was an atypical safety day, and that will resonate to many more Soldiers. Please keep doing what you’re doing. Lastly, thank you for your support of Service Members.
Bernie,
You killed it!
Thanks for keeping it interesting!
Great show! Thanks for the laughs, and for sharing your story. Best safety “training” I have attended.
Killed it indeed. Thanks for taking the time to deliver your message and laughs to my unit.
Bernie , your show was great man!
Great way to get the message across without the boring PowerPoint!
Solid performance

Suing McDonald’s for being obese is like suing your mother because you’re ugly

Suing McDonald’s for being obese is like suing your mother because you’re ugly

I slept for most part on ur show but when u start talking about ur brother u touch me. I had a special need brother as well as a nephew that is mentally behind his age. Thanks for reminding me that satisfaction and happiness can sometimes come from love towards our love ones. It’s not about us feeling sorry for our siblings situations but is make a change by spending caring for them.

Tried to get this comment posted earlier and didn’t see the post right away. Then got busy and forgot! Finally made it here though. Thanks for the laughs today. Been in and out of the hospital for myself and my boyfriend after we got hit on his motorcycle 2 weeks ago. I was angry to be away from him but needed that I think! You are great at what you do and congratulations on bettering your self and life.
