“That’s what I love about these podcasts, man. The series gets older, but the episodes stay thesame length!” Vicky Van, Jason Dedrick and Eric Fell remember 1993’s Dazed and Confused – probably better than its characters would. To make them even more “dazed and confused”, they snack on smash burgers and drink Coors Light. They also create a tribute drink called the All Red All Red All Red. Want to know how to make it? It’d be cooler if you did. In an ice filled tumbler, add 2 oz Galliano liquor Top with equal portions of Tahiti Treat and Lemon Lime Soda The producer’s wife said it was “Very nice”. And reminded her of, “Chasing an ice cream truck!” If you make the All Red All Red All Red or, better yet, make up a drink of your own, please send a picture to [email protected] by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films. Produced by Ian BoothbyEdited by Vicky VanTheme song by Chris Roberts
