The Army of Drunks (general)

It's our Artificial Intelligence show, where we try cocktail recipes generated by ChatGPT, and hope we haven't created a computer/alcohol hybrid that will some day destroy the world!

This is Part Two: The Drunken Bulls***. If you haven't listened to part one, start there.  If you have listened to part one, prepare for a serious drop in the level of discourse. But we had two more ChatGPT-generated cocktail recipes to get through, and no measure of that "good sense" stuff was going to stop us.

Another year, another Christmas show for lonely shut-ins spending the holidays alone!  Hooray!  And we experiment with mixing eggnog with the weird boozes you may have left in the back of your liquor cabinet.  Double Hooray! (NSFW as always.)

It's August, so while everyone f*cks off in the summer heat, let's enjoy an oldie from 2016.  The Ziggy Stardust show was our tribute to David Bowie with LA Weekly music editor Andy Hermann, and it's definitely full of stardust.  (NSFW as always)

The Bourbon & Girl Scout Cookies Show

NSFW! NSFW! Oh, and NSFW!

The Bourbon & Girl Scout Cookies Show
with Linda Williamson

Let us apologize up front.  We thought this was a good idea.  We had no way of knowing it would end like it did.  Remember that little article that floated around Facebook featuring Bourbon and Girl Scout Cookie pairings?  Well, we tried it!  I mean, after we figured out half the bourbons they recommended were impossible to find and substituted our own.  And we invited writer L.J. Williamson to giver own opinions about that old cookie racket. That part went all right.  It was what came after we want to apologize for. (NSFW as always.)

Father's Day Special - The Whisky and Pancakes Challenge
with Rev. Roemer and Mike & Kevin from Topline Wine 

You have a dad, right?  Or maybe you had one at one point but don't know what happened to him.  Either way, in honor of Father's Day, the Army of Drunks presents a short tribute to Dad's special day in the form of our dumb-ass "Whisky and Pancakes Challenge," and our clever-ass buyer's guide for anyone looking to buy a bottle of something for dear old patriarch.  (Thanks to the guys at Topline Wine for that.)  

NSFW as always.

Short: 1980s - Sex on the Beach
with the Army of Drunks!

What are we doing?  What the hell are we doing?  Take your DeLorean back to the decade when Spring Break drinking became an institution as we -- grown stinkin' adults -- get drunk on the Sex on the Beach.  And joins us as we create more cocktails named after awkward college-age sex acts!  PAR-TEE!

The Gin and Tonic Show

The Gin and Tonic Show
with the Choachella Hippos of Corporate Headquarters

Summer is almost here!  Time to get your gin and quinine and beat back the malaria!  Join the drunks and learn about the cocktail that will keep YOU from dying of mosquito bites the next time you invade India!  We also talk to artists Derek Doublin and our own Vanessa "Spork" Bonet about the most insane art installation at Coachella this year, the Hippo Corporate Headquarters.  (Warning: May contain a pack of lies.)

Short: 1920s - The Bee's Knees

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

It's "Drink-a-Decade," which is as catchy as we can pull off when we've had a few.  The Army of Drunks is profiling one cocktail to represent the spirit of each decade, and we're starting with Prohibition.  Enjoy the 1920's-era Bee's Knees, the cocktail so delightfully sweet it can mask even the most formaldehyde-laden bathtub gin.  (But we suggest something botanical.)  Buck and Vanessa are on break, so welcome Katie Massa and Jason Berlin, who can tell you all about evil grandmas and getting arrested while wearing Daisy Dukes.  (NSFW as always.)

The Blue Hawaii(an) Show
with the Army of Drunks

It's Tiki Time!  What's the difference between the Blue Hawaii and the Blue Hawaiian?  Not much!  But we dive face-first into the blue beauty that arguably started Tiki cocktail culture.  Plus, we once again turn to the great state of Florida for Booze News.  And Vanessa's Drunken Intervews!  No guest for this archive show, just the old crew getting loaded for you, listening public.

The Vesper Martini Show

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.)

 

 

*Daniel Craig could easily kick our collective ass, and we have nothing but respect for him and his body of work.
