  • Episode 470: Danger Zone Part 1-Able Archer '83
    2024/11/11
    Show Notes Episode 470: Danger Zone Part 1-Able Archer 83 This week Host Dave Bledsoe said on Tuesday night he needed a little something to take the edge off, we dug him out of a dumpster in Bayside naked and screaming Friday morning. (In fairness, this is not unusual for him) On the show this week we kicked off a two parter about nuclear war in the 80’s (You know, to lighten the mood!) with the story of Able Archer ‘83 and how it almost started a nuclear war.. Along the way we discover that Dave was beat up a lot in high school. (Nothing shocking there) Then we dive right into how the Cold War was chilling out until a certain someone got elected in 1980! (Our old friend is back!) We learn how Reagan freaked out the Soviets and caused them to think he might just nuke them for funsies. (Mostly because he was saying he might nuke them for funsies.) and how this resulted in what was called an “escalation of tensions”. (We would call it a full bore freakout!) The end result would be the world teetering on the brink of nuclear annihilation for about a week and the West not even noticing. (So much for the CIA!) Our sponsor this week is Bombs Away, prefab fallout shelters: turn a hole into a post apocalyptic home! We open the only good secret agent and close with Kat Cher in a certain zone.

  • Episode 469: Reasons to Save America
    2024/11/01
    Show Notes Episode 469: Reasons to Save America This week Host Dave Bledsoe is tired, and he knows you are tired too. It has been a long decade and no amount of funny stories about him doing stupid stuff while he is drunk is going to make it any easier. (I mean we have one story about him pooping his pants because he was too drunk to get up from the bar that we COULD tell!) On the show this week, with just days to go before the 2024 election we give you some cool things about America and why you should vote for Kamala Harris so we keep on having a country. That’s it. That’s the show. Go out and vote. (Unless you are voting for someone else then by all means, stay home!) Our Sponsor this week is Democracy, we know it isn’t perfect but it’s the best we have. We open the show with a reminder of what happened in 2016 and close with Harper O’Niel who has reasons to go out and do the right thing.

  • Episode 468: There's A Light Over at the LaLaurie Place (Spooktacular 2024 Finale)
    2024/10/28
    Show Notes Episode 468: There’s A Light Over at the LaLaurie Place Spooktacular 2024 Finale This week Host Dave Bledsoe drunkenly declares that every day is Mardi Gras while offering strings of beads in exchange for being shown breasts. (The bouncers took the beads, and took Dave’s shirt off while tossing him out.) On the show this week we conclude Spooktacular 2024 with the story of the most haunted house in the most haunted city in America: The LaLaurie Mansion. Along the way we learn that while Dave once attended Mardi Gras in New Orleans he can't really tell you anything about it. (Because he was black out drunk.) Then we dive right into a brief history of New Orleans from the first native Americans to all the times it changed hands before being purchased by Thomas Jefferson for some Mardi Gras beads and the recipe for the Hurricane. (Allegedly). Then we dig into the story of Madame Marie Delphine LaLaurie. (This is NOT a happy story) and life in her New Orleans mansion. (Seriously, there is a lot of brutal shit in this story, so you WERE warned.) Finally, there is some stuff about ghosts. Our Sponsor this week is the Committee Representing American Paranormal Persons, shining a light on the unseen! We open with breathless discussion of the mansion and close with Chloé Lexia Worthington shining a light on things.
