Comedian Ed Towns talks about leaving a Chiago bar with a woman and having sex so bad she decided to quit drinking and leave town (recorded at our live show). Ed, CJ and Sean joke about how you sometimes wake up from a night out, knowing you were the other person's rock bottom.

Comedian Vik Pandya talks about a time he was asked to join a threesome but was too drunk to enjoy it (recorded at our live show). Vik, CJ and Sean joke about how easy it is to misread the room when drunk, which leads to a discussion about misreading late-night signals while drinking. CJ shares some studies on why drunks get their signals crossed at bars and we hear from a Chicagoan who drunkenly hooked up with a neighbor during a family Christmas party.

Comedian Matty Ryan talks about a trip to Thailand that nearly killed him (recorded at our live show). Matty nearly died by falling, by explosion and was also nearly lost at sea, which leads to a discussion on drunken search parties. CJ and Sean share their own stories about the times they have gone missing and we hear from two people that were so drunk or hungover, they unknowingly joined their own search party.

The Blackout Diaries is a comedy show where standup comedians, plus 'regular' people (cops, firefighters, teachers, etc) tell true drinking stories. The live show has run weekly in Chicago for over ten years and has been a critics' pick by all major Chicago periodicals. This week features a teaser from Erica Clark, also known as Mr. T's daughter. The podcast is hosted by Sean Bair-Flannery and CJ Sullivan, two standup comedians and friends who have been featured on Comedy Central, Sirius Radio, NPR and more. They have over 30 years of standup experience between them and about 800 missed flights.
