Things get weird fast when Alex's son Jackson and his buddy Finn crash the pod this week. We're raising a glass of Burnside Goose Hollow bourbon in honor of Tapphoria's 11th anniversary—because nothing says "cheers" like a local whiskey and a story involving a puked-in tent.
Jackson's on a binge—of Whiskey n Whine episodes—and now thinks he's our #1 fan (sorry, Mom). He's listening at his new job, talking about writing erotic fan fiction starring Mike and Alex, and somehow still insisting Mike is his favorite podcast member. Finn bails after the first half, but not before dropping tales of his wild Canadian Airbnb neighbor who attacked an AC unit and almost came for him next. Only one of five Canadian cops had a gun. Canada, we have questions.
Then there's the island camping trip: expired hot dogs, zero cooking gear, one full-blown tent vomit, and a getaway that sounds like a raccoon caught in a windbreaker. After Finn Irish-exits, Jackson wraps it all up with a tale about meeting a backwoods stranger with six teeth (combined), blowing up fireworks with the neighborhood menace, and realizing his generation's stories can't touch ours.
Bonus chaos:
Jackson's still bitter he can't draft Alex's fantasy team after tanking it
Mike admits his favorite kid is actually Jenna
Jackson would rather hang with Mike in San Diego than his own parents
And yes, modified fireworks were involved. Allegedly.
This one's got it all: underage drinking (in Canada, so it's legal-ish), projectile regrets, and a disturbing amount of misplaced affection. Pour a stiff one and dive in.
