Drink With Me Podcast

In a SHOCKING twist, Eliza did the research for this episode on the tasteless LuLaRoe MLM from the 2010s. If you like leggings that smell bad AND have dicks on them, LuLaRoe is the brand for you. But the clothes aren't just lacking basic decency - it was also a cult.

Ruth joins us as a guest, and she will be back next week too. I promised Eliza she could have 6 months off doing research again.

Eliza is out this week so Ruth and I cover a topic she vetoed because she thought "nobody cares about other people's dreams."

This week we talk about weird dreams and ghost stories. And we drink Stormalong Hard Cider, which is the absolute best cider you can get.

The pope wasn't always an ancient man wearing a silly hat. In the old days - the REALLY old days - popes were young, frequently insane, and liked to party hard. On today's episode, we're going through a greatest hits of Bad Popes and Anti-Popes, mostly from the medieval times. And we're drinking the blood of Christ - red wine.

We sincerely apologize for missing last week, so this week's episode is coming out a little early.

Today's topic is the Holy Grail and King Arthur. We also talk about Nic Cage, who went on a grail quest recently.

Next week's topic is Popes and Anti-Popes, and we are returning to our Thursday release schedule.

Something fishy is going on at the National Parks. And we're not talking about the bathrooms. We're talking about the disappearances. Thousands of people have gone missing within the parks, and many of the cold cases have strange circumstances surrounding them. On today's episode, we theorize on what could be to blame for the massive scale of missing persons at the National Parks. Is it the Skinwalkers? A wormhole to another dimension? A serial killer? Or is it perhaps...a giant bird? You be the judge.

Ted Kaczynski was a smart kid, and if he didn't skip 6th grade, it is possible that the only people talking about him today would be math nerds. But as fate would have it, he skipped ahead in middle school, was bullied by his peers, experimented on by the CIA as part of project MK Ultra, had a mental breakdown, moved into the woods, and declared war on modern society. It was in the late 70s that he transformed into the domestic terrorist "The Unabomber." He killed three people and injured 23 more. And if he hadn't messed up his figures of speech, he might have gotten away with it. But you can't eat your cake and have it too.

It was probably inevitable that we would cover Titanic on this show. But I never thought we would drink V8 vegetable juice. Needless to say, Eliza's reign of terror is coming to an end. She is now BANNED from getting "surprise drinks," and I am setting a new rule permitting her to only get up once during an episode. On this one she got up 4 or 5 times to get a blanket, socks, ice cubes, and God knows what else.

Anyway, today we talk about the tragedy of the Titanic, notable people on board, and the aftermath. Someday we will cover the Titan submersible, but that incident deserves its own episode.

Today we're drinking cold brew coffee and discussing the cold blooded killing of Honest Abe. We talk about the many tragedies of Lincoln's life, the insane events leading up to his assassination, and the coincidences and paranormal events that surround him and murderous actor John Wilkes Booth. This is one of the Big Kahuna topics, so if you are interested in Abraham Lincoln, there is WAY more to this story than we had time to cover on this episode.

No Eliza on this episode - she'll return next week. Ruth is back to talk about weird baseball players. Baseball is so old that there is over a hundred years of strange bastards that have played the game and been weirdos on and off the field.

We also briefly mention the Monkey of the Boston Garden, which, though interesting, is not a long enough story for a full episode.

Join us as we drink Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and discuss Rube Waddell, Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Hideki Matsui, Wade "Chicken Man" Boggs, Moisés Alou, Manny Ramirez and more.

No drink this week out of solidarity with the victims of Action Park...

In all honesty, we have gotten profoundly lazy on the drink selection aspect of this show. We sincerely apologize and promise to be better about it.

We were supposed to get slurpees and go to the beach, but it was cold and rainy.

Today we're talking about Action Park, an amusement park in New Jersey that claimed the lives of a half-dozen people and caused thousands of injuries. With such a tragic backstory, you would expect that visitors would look back on their time at Action Park with sadness and regret. You'd be wrong. As it turns out, the people of New Jersey are so bored and reckless that they feel a nostalgia for the old Grave Pool. I don't think anyone misses the Cannonball Loop, though. Other than dentists. Those sickos.
