Drink With Me Podcast

In a SHOCKING twist, Eliza did the research for this episode on the tasteless LuLaRoe MLM from the 2010s. If you like leggings that smell bad AND have dicks on them, LuLaRoe is the brand for you. But the clothes aren't just lacking basic decency - it was also a cult. Ruth joins us as a guest, and she will be back next week too. I promised Eliza she could have 6 months off doing research again. Wan...

Eliza is out this week so Ruth and I cover a topic she vetoed because she thought "nobody cares about other people's dreams." This week we talk about weird dreams and ghost stories. And we drink Stormalong Hard Cider, which is the absolute best cider you can get. Want to tell us a ghost story? Email us at DrinkWithMePodcast@gmail.com

The pope wasn't always an ancient man wearing a silly hat. In the old days - the REALLY old days - popes were young, frequently insane, and liked to party hard. On today's episode, we're going through a greatest hits of Bad Popes and Anti-Popes, mostly from the medieval times. And we're drinking the blood of Christ - red wine. Want to condemn us to hell for our sins? Email us at DrinkWithMePodcast...

We sincerely apologize for missing last week, so this week's episode is coming out a little early. Today's topic is the Holy Grail and King Arthur. We also talk about Nic Cage, who went on a grail quest recently. Next week's topic is Popes and Anti-Popes, and we are returning to our Thursday release schedule. Want to tell us about your own grail quest? Email us at DrinkWithMePodcast@gmail.com

Something fishy is going on at the National Parks. And we're not talking about the bathrooms. We're talking about the disappearances. Thousands of people have gone missing within the parks, and many of the cold cases have strange circumstances surrounding them. On today's episode, we theorize on what could be to blame for the massive scale of missing persons at the National Parks. Is i...

Ted Kaczynski was a smart kid, and if he didn't skip 6th grade, it is possible that the only people talking about him today would be math nerds. But as fate would have it, he skipped ahead in middle school, was bullied by his peers, experimented on by the CIA as part of project MK Ultra, had a mental breakdown, moved into the woods, and declared war on modern society. It was in the late 70s th...

It was probably inevitable that we would cover Titanic on this show. But I never thought we would drink V8 vegetable juice. Needless to say, Eliza's reign of terror is coming to an end. She is now BANNED from getting "surprise drinks," and I am setting a new rule permitting her to only get up once during an episode. On this one she got up 4 or 5 times to get a blanket, socks, ice cub...

Today we're drinking cold brew coffee and discussing the cold blooded killing of Honest Abe. We talk about the many tragedies of Lincoln's life, the insane events leading up to his assassination, and the coincidences and paranormal events that surround him and murderous actor John Wilkes Booth. This is one of the Big Kahuna topics, so if you are interested in Abraham Lincoln, there is WAY...

No Eliza on this episode - she'll return next week. Ruth is back to talk about weird baseball players. Baseball is so old that there is over a hundred years of strange bastards that have played the game and been weirdos on and off the field. We also briefly mention the Monkey of the Boston Garden, which, though interesting, is not a long enough story for a full episode. Join us as we drink Sie...

No drink this week out of solidarity with the victims of Action Park... In all honesty, we have gotten profoundly lazy on the drink selection aspect of this show. We sincerely apologize and promise to be better about it. We were supposed to get slurpees and go to the beach, but it was cold and rainy. Today we're talking about Action Park, an amusement park in New Jersey that claimed the lives...

Is human memory faulty? Or is there a vast conspiracy afoot involving the Bilderberg Group and a particle accelerator to make everyone think Sinbad's genie movie in the 90s doesn't exist? Today, we attempt to make sense of the Mandela Effect, in which people's memories of historical events and the Fruit of the Loom logo don't line up with our present reality. This is probably our m...

Boston's infamous Big Dig is one of the most expensive construction projects in human history. It made traffic worse and now Boston is so expensive you have to be a billionaire to live there, but at least now there are some nice trees on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Sure, they had to plow through archaeological sites and it won't be paid off until 2038, but the Sports Bars at the Seaport hav...

The Kennedy's are Massachusetts's royal family. On today's show we revisit one of their darkest tragedies - The Chappaquiddick Incident. Everyone from Boston will tell you that Ted Kennedy "overcame his demons" and "passed a lot of bills" as a senator, but we think he was, frankly, a piece of garbage and should have gone to prison. This episode is dedicated to Mary...

To coincide with the release of his new movie "Longlegs," today's topic is the life and career of the one and only Nic Cage. We talk about his movies, his grail quest, the stolen dinosaur he bought, and more. We love Nic on this show, so if you clicked on this wanting to listen to people trash the man, the myth, the legend Nic Cage, you've come to the wrong place. We don't tr...

Guest host Ruth joins me on location in New York, talking about dowsing, rainmakers, cloudbusting and how we think the world needs more fun and less math. Eliza is back next week. Email us with questions and topic suggestions at DrinkWithMePodcast@gmail.com

This is the first solo podcast for Drink With Me. Eliza had a Covid scare and we couldn't record at our usual time last weekend, so I'm on my own for this episode. The topic is Secret Societies - one that Eliza has no interest in, so it is just as well I'm doing it solo. I discuss the Bilderberg Group, the Freemasons, the Knights Templar and more. If I had a tin foil hat I'd be wea...

Today's topic is axe-murderer, pear-enthusiast and Massachusetts legend Lizzie Borden. Murder is wrong...BUT we love Lizzie and we think she is misunderstood. She's the antidote for the Victorian Period Pieces like Bridgerton. A show like that needs Lizzie Borden to spice things up. She wasn't walking around in fancy gowns sipping tea and talking about the queen. She was too busy sharp...

Today's episode is not for the faint of heart. Eliza thought we were going to be talking about how "beautiful" Mount Everest is. Not exactly. Everest is a terrifying place and there are so many ways it can kill you. But the simple goal of climbing Earth's highest mountain continues to lure in rich people that feel unfulfilled by the monotony of modern life. So strap on your cramp...

Phantom of the Opera is the best musical ever, so we're drinking the best beer ever - Guinness. We discuss the novel, movie adaptations and the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. Email us at DrinkWithMePodcast@gmail.com Next week's topic is Mount Everest.

Cherry Phosphate Soda proved elusive, and cherry syrup is evidently going extinct at grocery stores, so we settled on Wild Cherry Pepsi for our Outsider Music episode. Though the definition of "outsider" is up for debate, we talk about the usual suspects - The Shaggs, Captain Beefheart, Arcesia, Skip Spence, Syd Barrett, Daniel Johnston, Brian Wilson, Tiny Tim, Moondog and Rebecca Black....

The long-threatened Atlantis episode has finally come to light. We were supposed to cover Dowsing with Ruth, but we ran out of time over the weekend, so it is officially Atlantis week. In this episode, we cover the ancient civilization of prehistory known as Atlantis. We discuss the myth, possible evidence, and ostriches, who are in fact quite scary. Next week's topic is Outsider Music. Want t...

On this devastatingly sad episode of Drink With Me, we discuss the plight of pigeons, man's bird-best friend. We bred them to trust us, and then we threw them into the streets with the possums and skunks to fend for themselves. I wish I could say we did pigeons the service of recording this episode professionally in peace and quiet, but we had somewhere to be, so we recorded it on a car ride t...

Big Bill Taft was the last United States President that you could say was "too honest" for the job. He was a living cartoon character, an avid golfer, and the singular man responsible for 67% of possum skeletons found in the continental United States. But if the most interesting forgotten President isn't your thing, we also discuss Alice Roosevelt's pet snake Emily Spinach, recou...

After listening back to the dour and joyless slog that was Episode 9 of Drink With Me, we decided to shelve the Atlantis episode in favor of something more fun and lighthearted. So this week the topic is none other than Guy Fieri. He's the people's chef. The architect of Flavortown. The inventor of "donkey sauce" (which, evidently, is just aioli). We highly and unironically recom...

Jim and Eliza drink Sam Adams beer and discuss rogue construction worker Osama Bin Laden, who liked poetry, the Arsenal football club, and the Woody Allen movie Antz. If you want to play a drinking game, take a sip whenever Eliza groans with frustration. We promise the next episode will be more lighthearted, but we've broken that promise before... If you want to suggest future topics, drinks,...
