Friday was National Rum Day and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to drink Dark & Stormy's (or Grey & Snotty's) and talk about the first pirate of Maine: Dixie Bull.

Carroll has a serious listener question, Garrett gets the giggles, and we find out why you should never Google "Wicked big beaver".

Thank you to our Sponsor Tracey's Seafood!

I hope you guys like Weiner jokes because we couldn't get enough of them as we discussed the history of the Maine Red Snapper Hot Dog. 🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭

We are talking Lobster Boat Races and how they all got started, and man is Garrett excited!

We got drunk taste testing whiskey, we fried a computer, we had our first live audience... and somehow we still managed to talk about Infamous Maine Rum Runners during Prohibition.

In the 1950s a man encountered a half-man half-goat on a lonely road near Cherryfield Maine...

We discuss his unbelievable story (aka nightmare fuel) while sampling local goat cheese and wine...(we are trying to class it up after last weeks whiskey disaster).

We talk Goatmen , she sheds, goatcheese, wine, the downside of VR technology and how real men wear flannel.

EAT MORE LOBSTER!

In 1710 the Nottingham Galley ran aground during a December nor'easter off the coast of Maine. The captain and crew abandoned ship and crawled their way onto a small, desolate, and barren rock called Boon Island.

Weeks with no food, no shelter, and no rescue in sight left the survivors little options for survival...until the Carpenter died.

In this episode we take a bite out of the story of the Boon Island Cannibals...have a listen, if you dare.
