Happy 2019 PUB Crawl friends! If you're reading this, you're probably asking yourself, "wait, why wasn't the world premiere of the Goat Farm Foundation's new thrilling series, NPSP Cribs, not nominated for every Golden Globe award possible?" I know, that's how I felt too. Especially after going out the day after New Year's to buy a whole rack of this obviously perfect penguin dress shirt to wear on the red carpet.

Unfortunately, I've been told that the Golden Globes are only given out to shows that have already premiered, and since the Goat Farm Foundation's NPSP Cribs debuts on January 17 at 3pm ET, there was some silly rule that got in the way. Well, no matter, this show is can't miss TV!

So, while the studio set gets prepped, enjoy the green room beverages and snacks, and take a look at all the knowledge from the PUB!

Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!
