The Uncertainty Principle:

4 oz vodka
1 oz blue Curacao
1 oz McGillicuddy's menthol

This is our first episode where we change format to inventing our own cocktails instead of scouring teh intarwebs to find something . . . usually to no avail.

Here we talk about the comedians who have inspired us over the years. We're old, so think Aristophanes, or Plautus, or that one guy who made us laugh at campfires during the Civil War . . . . OK, we're not that old.

Think more: George Carlin, Steve Martin, and Bill Hicks all the way up to Dave Chappelle, Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswalt, and John Mulaney.

Tom's "Wild and Crazy Guy" Drink Recipe:

2 oz Whiskey

It will probably come as a shock to you to find the co hosts of Bicoastal Boozecast were both bullied when they were younger.  “Bullied?” you exclaim.  “Preposterous!  Nonsense!  The hell you say! Those two seem like they would have been the most popular kids in school!”  But no, dear listener.  Our magnetism and charm are products of age and wisdom, and quite possibly, beatings we received when in public school.  Can you think of a better way to spend an hour than listening to us hash out the embarrassments of our youth while we down a drink based on Stephen King’s Carrie?  

Good times.

Some men make podcast episodes about trucks or football. Some men just want to watch the world burn (I couldn't help making that reference).

But at Bicoastal Boozecast, we made an episode about cats, because if there's one thing the internet needs more of, it's cats.

Drink recipes (there are two this time because Tom screwed up on which drink we were going to make):

The Big City Cat
The Tom Cat

References and Topics Include:

Mark Twain quote about cats.

Choose your cat Checklist (inspired from here):

1. When you pick up the cat/kitten they should purr.
2. Ask the volunteers about the cat/kitten.
3. IMPORTANT: Do not choose a cat by its looks. You cannot judge a book by its cover.
4. Take your time.
5. Spend as much time with the cat/kitten as you can.
6. Let the cat/kitten choose you.
7. Find out what you can about the background of the cat/kitten.
8. The lap test: Put the cat in your lap, pet them, then take them out and see if they come back. Not a dealbreaker, but helps in the process.

What if I told you that you could make a six figure income in the exciting and glamorous world of competitive pie eating?  Sound too good to be true?  What if I also told you that you would never have to eat a single pie?  Sound even better?  For a nominal fee, I can teach you the secrets of million dollar pie eating from the comfort of your own home!  No baking, no eating, just sit back and watch the dollars roll in!  I will, of course, need your credit card for the monthly lessons, because obviously we have to take care of my six figure income first, but I swear to the blueberry gods, your fortune comes next!

Bryan and Tom discuss MLMs and pyramid schemes with the Inverted Pyramid, a drink neither of them were able to replicate correctly, thereby keeping with the theme of failed fortunes and disappointments the MLM model dispenses with such regularity.

Topics include:

Marionberries and Marion Berry (both the blackberry derivative and the crack smoking mayor)
A possibly completely misremembered and inaccurate It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference
Amway
Herbal Life
Bernie Madoff
NXIVM

NXIVM Documentary (HBO) - The Vow

This episode raises some interesting questions.  Why, for example, in a podcast about conspiracy theories, did we not discuss JFK?  Was it because we ran out of time?  Or was it because they got to us?  Have They, and you know who They are, have They replaced Bryan and Tom with two easily manipulated shills, willing to do the bidding of the secret lizard mafia intelligence agency who don’t want you to know the truth?  

Probably not.  It’s probably just the drinking.

Join us as we discuss:

The Flat Earth

The Moon Landing

The Newtown Shooting

QAnon

We take a turn from pop culture (we shall return, pop culture nerds!) and talk about the phenomenon of Serial Killers: you know, Ted Bundy, BTK, the Golden State Killer.

This episode has everything:

1. Infused Nibs.
2. Rants about Whole Foods.
3. Advice for Serial Killers.
4. Ridicule for Anti-Maskers.
5. Which Serial Killers fascinate us.
6. How some of them are caught, including BTK and The Golden State Killer.
7. Discussions about perhaps why violent crime overall is on the decline.
8. We state unequivocally that we are against Serial Murder.

Do you remember the “Lady Snowblood” inspired scene in Kill Bill where Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman face off against each other in the snow?  There’s the sound of a fountain in the background, a Sozu, designed to scare wildlife away from a garden.  It fills up with water, tips, makes a sound as it empties, and then rises and fills up again.  I like to imagine that fountain is running on scotch.  Single malt scotch.  In a steady stream.  Brand doesn’t matter, just single malt.  We decided on scotch as the drink of choice for our Tarantino episode because of Inglorious Basterds, but still.  A fountain that runs on scotch.  Patent pending.  Kickstarter in progress.

Needless to say, probably not a good idea to listen if you haven’t seen these Tarantino movies:

Inglorious Basterds

Pulp Fiction

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Django Unchained

Reservoir Dogs
