Show Notes Episode 525: On Second Thought, Let’s Not Go to Camelot
This week host Dave Bledsoe ruined a bar trivia night by drunkenly shouting “wasn’t in the form of a question” every time until they threw him out. (He doesn’t even watch Jeopardy.) On the show this week we talk about JFK’s time in office, from the political to the poonhound. (Google recognized poonhound, that’s awesome.)
Along the way we discover the reason why Dave can’t form meaningful relationships. (Perhaps his drinking problem?) Then we really do dive into JFK as a politician. (There is a LOT to cover this week!) From the Bay of Pigs to the Cuban Missile Crisis, to the Vienna Summit we examine his foreign policy. Domestically, we mostly talk about all the side pieces he had. (Dude had a lot!) We learn that the whole “Camelot” thing was created after his death to hide how horny he was. Finally, we set the stage for Dallas. (Which we will cover in detail next episode.)
Our Sponsor is the Secret Services Professional Escorts, trusted by the people you trust with your life. We open with JFK’s inauguration and close with Nick Fife who reminds you it is only a model.
