I won't lie, I'm pretty sleepy writing this one. We recorded late, for one. You'll have to listen to the episode to find out why. Spoiler alert, it involves a bunch of mulch. I also drank two tall boy hard seltzers while we recorded. Here in my elderly years, that's a lot to deal with on a weeknight. I've noticed in my old age that your body actually presents an alternative to getting drunk. See, when you're young, it's simple. You just drink until you get buzzed, then drunk. That's the one path, you know. You go down it until you stop. But when you hit your 30s, there's this whole other possibility, which is that well before you drink enough to get drunk, you will sometimes just get really tired. You either drink rapidly enough to achieve drunkenness, or you turn into a useless slug. On weeknight, I suppose the latter is actually better, but it doesn't feel that way right now, as I'm forced to be creative. Not that the bar for these descriptions is particular high, of course. The big thing to remark on this week's episode is that we hit a rather wide range of emotions. In our opening segment we discuss a variety of topics, including which Star Wars characters we are, Alex's misadventures with getting soil delivered, the Gags the Clown people apparently knowing who we are, and new additions to the Here's a Guy drinking game. Then it's a wide variety of types of topics, including a CIA spy with some unfortunate personal habits, an alarmingly insane neurosurgeon and the big idea that ruined his reputation, and a football player's delightful contributions to the all-time blooper reels.
