Episode 294: I’m Drinking 2020 Goodbye

This week Host Dave Bledsoe looks back at what he’s done to his body and soul this long and painful year and decides to get drunk. (Again.) On the show this week we look at everything that happened in 2020 and what Dave drank to get through it. (If you are looking for deep insights on the year, this ain’t it.)

Along the way we learn about Chicago's cute little prank it likes to pull visitors by making them drink battery acid with a sprig of catnip in it. Then we go around the world in a dozen or so liquors so powerful, so disgusting, so terrible that only a desperate alcoholic or a man with literally nothing left to lose would drink them. (Fortunately for us, Dave Bledsoe is both!) From India to Ireland, from Italy to China Dave explains how as things got worse in 2020, the levels he stooped to in the liquor cabinet went lower and lower. (Honestly we do NOT know how he is still alive!) Then we wrap up with simply the most vile concoction to ever be bottled and sold to teenagers who didn’t know any better! (Poor, simple fools!)

Our Sponsor this week is Fast Eddie’s Quick Vax for when you are right and don’t want to wait your turn. We open the show with Jim Gaffigan getting us pumped for 2020 and close with Nine Pound Hammer coping with loss.
