You Are Absinthelutely Correct
If Jack from The Shining were drinking absinthe at that bar, he would have written a wonderful novel instead of turning psycho murderer. Just sayin'. That is one of many important discussions we have here at this terribly important and so very serious show. No where else will you find the hard...

Dan and Jerry's Excellent Adventure
Sadly, Keanu Reeves couldn't join us on this episode as he's busy in Germany filming the new Matrix movie, but we do talk a bit about Bill and Ted, as well as some timely absinthe news, and ... oddly ... UFO sightings in New Jersey which according to the news turned out to be the Goodyear Blimp...

Absinthe and Ammo
Remember that old Warren Zevon song, "Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money"? Well, this is not it. This is more, "Send Fairy Dust, Zombies, Bob Newhart, The IT Crowd, Travel Man, What We Do in the Shadows, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Rick Wakeman, Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the...

Dan Bought a Chinese Atomic Bomb Lamp
The title says Atomic "Bomb" Lamp, not Atomic "Bong" Lamp. Meanwhile, Jerry suffers from some credit card fraud but was saved, apparently, by Netflix, Dan gives his recommendation on what he puts on his "music to sip absinthe by" playlist, and Jerry tells Dan about a girl named Ramona who works…

Beep Beep Make Room for My Little Jeep
Trust us, if you don't know what the title is referring to, then you don't want to know. Other than that, this episode basically talks about box monkeys who are obsessed with those with bigger boxes, and the boys talking about Occupy Wall Street (remember that?) and the fact that if you really…

Getting Arrested while Holding Twinkies
Dan and Jerry talk about stuff. And things. And jail.

We're Just a Bunch of Box Monkeys
Back in 2011, Jerry found out that, contrary to his expectations, it kind of sucked to live in a high-rise corner penthouse. Also, this is a COVID-19-free episode, though we do talk a lot about the zombie apocalypse ... so it's about the same thing. Just with more zombies.
-
Think Different
Sick of hearing about the 2020 pandemic? This is a pandemic-free episode! How?! Because it was originally recorded in 2011, and in it Jerry talks about the email he once received from Steve Jobs, Dan questions how Saint Peter ended up being Heaven's security guard, and Jerry discusses the one...

And the Pod Gods Frowned
The pod gods smited us during this episode, forcing us to regroup and pick up the pieces. Among the cursed subjects are Romper Room memories, the horrors of finishing a bottle of Le Tourment Vert, and experimenting with the ROOT OF ALL EVIL (it's not money). Jerry also gives his recommendation of…

Love And Chatbots

Art is Anything You Can Get Away With

Squandering In Ignorance
So the United States Government finally makes an official admission that, in effect, UFO's are real, and in this day and age we pretty much yawn and say, "Whatever." Has it really come to this? Yes, dear friends, it has. But there is one positive note: some very smart people are doing serious...

Should the Absinthe Festival Be Online?
If Burning Man is going to be online this year instead of out on the Playa, why can't the various absinthe festivals be online? And if they're not, should we create our own? Let's discuss.

The Hunt for Green October
If a bee is like a sharp stick, a wasp is like an automatic handgun. Why would you ever put a wasp in your absinthe? Why? And why should anyone even have to ask that question? Like why should you not put plutonium in your 3-Mile Island Root Beer Schnapps? And why should you never light absinthe…

The Mummy Speaks!

-
Injecting Testosterone Into Your … Area
Change is in the wind. Our podcast’s name is going to gently morph into “The Green Hour with Dan and Jerry” mainly because it would probably be easier to get guests to join us for that, than for a “Slow Death in the Afternoon.” In this episode Jerry is sipping on a Death in the Afternoon Cocktail...

If You Louche It, They Will Drink
Mephisto Absinthe Review. Tattoo ideas. Old fat Elvis paintings on black velvet. Earthquake stories. Giraffe curling. And, how good are zombies at washing cars?

Searching for Absinthe and Roasting Dan at His Own Funeral
It's Dan's birthday! So what does he want? A funeral?!? Yes, that's what he wanted, so that's what we gave him. A comedy funeral "roast" hosted by none other than the one and only Mike McShane. That, and a bunch of bottles of absinthe. So a huge shoutout to longtime friend Mike (we can't tell you...

Psycho X Lovers and Glasses with Fricken' Lasers
Greetings to all future peoples from us here in the distant past! This mostly retro episode of the podcast features glasses with fricken' lasers, holiday shopping woes, and discussions about how you know when a Hollywood franchise is on its last leg when they suddenly set it "in space." The boys...
-
Probably Our Holiday 2019 Episode!
Why probably? Because we don't really know. Dan is super busy with local shows for his day job for the rest of December 2019, and while Jerry may have a substitute guest host lined up, that also is not a for sure thing. Other than that, what can you expect from this episode? Well, how would you...

If you "Reimagine" Absinthe it's probably not Absinthe anymore...
In this episode we touch upon recently announced Henrick's "Absinthe Reimagined," and while we're not bashing it -- because we haven't actually tasted it -- we're skeptical about calling it "absinthe." Also covered is the upcoming legalization of marijuana in Michigan and Illinois, the challenge…
more -
Absinthe Dot Awesome

Louche Offs and Neutron Bombs
This episode was actually recorded right before Halloween 2019, and where Jerry lives there's already snow on the ground. He is not happy about that. But besides that, the boys do a "louche off" taste test between Letherbee and Kubler to see which they think is the better of the two to recommend…

You're only immortal for a limited time
Fake IDs, podcasting during tornados, hamster powered podcasting, Nice Peter Picture Songs, using a pen as a weapon, and flapper terms from the 1920's. Also, what if it's your first time going to Burning Man and the Zombie Apocalypse has happened? Would you even notice?
-
If you have a great idea, run with it NOW
We titled this from a very small portion of the episode, but if you take nothing else away from listening (or don't listen to this episode at all) just remember that bit. Both Dan and Jerry touch upon ideas they had but DID NOT run with, and someone else did -- and that's why Jurassic Park is by...
-
Zombies on Rainbows
This episode features La Sorcière Absinthe Supèrieure Verte and Grande Absente reviews from 2011. This is news to Jerry as he has no memory of ever trying Grande Absente, let along liking it. Side note: apparently in Stockton California all absinthe is kept behind glass so that it doesn't escape....
-
Yes, you can make absinthe at home, but...
"If you cross-breed a cow with a buffalo ... you really have to convince that cow, you know." That's a line from a song used in this episode. Does it have anything to do with absinthe? Not really. Does it have something to do with Dan and Jerry. YES. Yes it does. But besides that, the boys talk...
-
Coffee and Absinthe ... oh my!
It's like coffee and absinthe were made for each other ... but will it go with Jade absinthe? And will Jade go with champagne? Jerry finds out. Also, Jade gets back to Jerry about a cork issue, and Dan talks about an article filled with such misinformation about absinthe that it puts the "anus"…
more -
I Don't Know ... THIRD BASE!
Jerry learned something important from his recent absinthe emergency: how to NOT open a bottle of Jade. Meanwhile Dan is laughing because Jerry has a blood test in the morning and so can't have anything to eat or drink after a certain time, and that time is coming up in 15 minutes ... so Jerry…

Soylent Absinthe Green
Jerry doesn't know what or how he screwed up but apparently this episode was supposed to be named "Smells Like Teen Absinthe," not the last one. That's not the only thing he screws up -- he can't cook chicken without making himself sick, and he experiments with a new drink during the recording...
-
Smells Like Teen Absinthe
Beer butts and torch lighters. Lip floss. Absinthe News. Zombies. This episode has it all! Also, for any horror fans out there, check out www.horroraddicts.net because not only is Ems a friend of Jerry's, but their latest anthology contains one of Jerry's works of apocalyptic science fiction.…

Psychedelic Jellyfish and Mister Jaws
Road trips to nowhere, absinthe by diving enthusiasts, strange and awesome bars in faraway places, and bartenders who still think absinthe is either illegal or "not the real thing." All this and more on this brand new episode recorded August 13, 2019. Music at the end is by Shpongle.
-
If You Really Want to Hallucinate...
Recorded in August 2019 and broadcasting into the future, Dan and Jerry talk about lots of silly stuff but also manage some serious discussion about how poorly absinthe is portrayed in the media, and give kudos to some lesser-known journalists who actually do their research. Outro music is by the...
