And join us with mad genius Johnny Amerika -- a man who builds the sort of machines you'd only come up with when you’re drunk -- as the Army gets ice-balls deep in the (Whiskey) Old Fashioned cocktail, a drink older than anyone alive today.  We also hear booze news from the rampantly drunken hamlet of River Falls, learn the story of a real-life Killdozer, and drink seven-week-old eggnog without dying. (NSFW as always.)

The White Russian
with Aydrea Walden

Meet writer Aydrea Walden, a self-described "total whitey trapped in a black chick's body," and author of The Oreo Experience blog.  Together we get loaded on White Russians (get it?) and as she talks about her life growing up as the only black girl who liked the Pixies in a Texas high school, and her upcoming show at http://www.theoreoexperienceshow.com
(NSFW as always.)

The Moscow Mule Redux
with Richard Horvitz and Rikki Simons (from Invader ZIM)

You guessed it: "Redux" is French for "Rerun."  It's summer and the drunks are taking a little vacation, but we're rolling out one of our favorite shows from last year.  Listen to cartoon voice actors and stars of Invader ZIM Richard Horvitz and Rikki Simons get loaded and tell true tales of convention horror.  Now with new interviews with Rikki "GIR" Simons where he does NOT talk about his role in Hilary Clinton's "E-mail-gate" scandal!  ABSOLUTELY NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN.  (Though knowing our listeners, their kids have probably heard worse.)  And NSFW, as always, people.

The Mojito
with Clifton James Weaver III (a.k.a. DJ Soft Touch)

What's the "Song of the Summer" for 2015?  Damn us to Pharrell Hell if we know, kids!  Popular music has failed us, so we sit down with one of L.A.'s most accomplished funk and soul DJs, Clifton James Weaver, and tap his encyclopedic knowledge of groove before August slips away.  We also sit back and sip on the Mojito, Cuba's most enduring contribution beyond cigars and a stream of angry expatriates to Florida! And: Could Ike Turner beat up Ché Guevara? (NSFW as always.)

The Sazerac
with Ian McEwan

"Ask a Drunken Scientist!"  That's what we set out to do!  Somehow we met mathemetician and psycist Ian McEwan, plied him a lot of good rye, and asked him questions about science ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again.  We also delve into the Sazerac cocktail, a drink that traces its roots back to a pharmacist in 1800's New Orleans.  No, there are no vampires involved.  This is science, a$$holes!  (NSFW as always.)

Short: 1990s - (Redeeming) The Appletini
with the Army of Drunks!

Ah, the 1990s!  A time of transition between the sugary concoctions of the 80s and the more mature cocktails of times to come.  Where candy-flavored "bullshitinis" ruled the high-end drink menus of bars all over America.  We dive face-first into the Jolly Rancher-green Appletini and survive.  How?  Through the ingenuity of MixMa$ter Therm and his genuinely-worthy Apple Martini recipe.  Listen and be amazed!  (NSFW as always.)

The El Presidente Show

with Katie Massa and Bjork*

"Drink-a-Decade" enters the 1960's with a drink that sounds dirty but goes down sweet. It's the Rusty Nail, and it's the best use of Drambuie since getting your grandmother to pass out early at Christmas. We also sample an Icelandic bark-based liqueur called "Bjork," and Katie tells us the unexpected hazards of drinking in New York.  (NSFW as always.)

Short: 1930s - The Brown Derby
with Katie Massa and Jason Berlin

"Drink-a-Decade" rolls on like a runaway freight train that only smashes a stalled-out schoolbus once every two weeks!

Drink your way back to the Golden Age of Hollywood with the Brown Derby, a delightful blend of whiskey, grapefruit and honey that was possibly invented by Douglas Fairbanks, but definitely made famous in a giant hat.  Also, Jason Berlin spills the beans on his Evil Grandma Betty, and Katie Massa punches-out a raccoon!* (NSFW as always.)

*Katie Massa does not punch-out a raccoon.

Short: 1920s - The Bee's Knees
with Katie Massa and Jason Berlin

THE VESPER MARTINI SHOW

with Cece Pleasants

The hell that fragile mama's-boy Daniel Craig!*  The drunks get loaded the original James Bond martini — the Vesper — made up by novelist Ian Fleming himself, and promise not to make a single lame-ass “shaken” or “stirred” joke.  We also talk to late-night comedy writer and comedienne Cece Pleasants about what it’s like to get cancelled, why some female comics turn gay, and the power of Arsenio’s finger.  (NSFW, as always.)
