Episode 11: Southern Discomfort


Listen Later

Aha! I tricked you by naming the episode after liquor. You probably think we used SoCo in this week's cocktail, but no! Cooley created a much more clever drink called Bailey's in the Woods. Isn't she clever?! (read the story people!)

This week's episode is filled with murder and mayhem and many unlikeable, ridiculous characters. We're discussing the fabulous and memorable Southern Gothic "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor. It is the story of dysfunctional family that thinks being trapped together on a long car ride is the absolute worst, but, believe or not, there are things more terrifying than countless rounds of "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall." If you have this harrowing of a car trip you should at least be rewarded by John Candy and Marty Moose from Wally World at the end! Amiright? Sip some Baileys and enjoy this darkly comic story.
