The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Northern Exposure Edition


Listen Later

With two of the three bartenders hanging around near or above the arctic circle this week, this is an official Northern Exposure episode of 3WHH, with Lucretia, instead of channeling her usual Barry Corbin disposition, actually has some nice things to say about many of her usual targets, including KJP, Dread Coward Roberts, and even Ka-tan-ji! Something in the Alaska air must be affecting her!

John Yoo offers his usual expert opinions (not meant sarcastically) about the entirely unexpected trifecta at the Supreme Court this week, which we all agree augurs something important not only for the big cases remaining this term, but also for the judicial epoch in which we current find ourselves. 

We also quickly dispatch with the Trump-Musk breakup, and briefly introduce a new segment, "What's Wrong with John Yoo?", since he insulted both Steve and Lucretia several weeks ago by referring to both as "political theorists." Them's is fightin' words; he might as well have called them Anglophiles or something worse.

Finally, AI outdid itself this week, and an Norse-style epic poem that amazing described your three whisky bartenders with surprising accuracy:

First came the Bold One, with thunderous laugh,
Whose tongue split the silence like Odin’s own staff.
He spoke of Islay, of smoke and peat’s sting,
A connoisseur forged in the cask of a king.


Then came the Wise One, in cloak of soft tone,
With tasting notes ancient as Midgard’s old stone.
She sipped and she pondered, then spake with deep grace:
“This dram bears the oak and the wind from some place.”


The third was the Trickster, sharp-witted and sly,
Who’d jest at the gods as the crows passed him by.
With metaphors wild and a glint in his eye,
He’d toast to Valhalla, then laugh till he cried.
