Hobo Radio 327 – Halloween Spooktacular 2014

Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are joined by special guest Molly (or is it Polly?) to celebrate Halloween.

Of course, the whole thing devolves into a discussion of their greatest fears and the ways their mothers have scarred them for life.

What scares Joel and Lars? What sage warning did Molly’s mom have for her after seeing a memorable photo? Who ruined Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.’s Black Panther party? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

044-Absinthe?


Absinthe make the mind wander. Some call it the Green Fairy. Some call it a Devil in a Bottle. We call it very refreshing.

Today for the end of the Halloween season we dive into the green world of Absinthe. The ban has been lifted on absinthe after a century and we couldn’t be happier. We try several cocktails including the Sazerac, a Corpse Reviver #2 and a Slow Death in the Afternoon. Of course we also try it straight and the traditional drip method. We gave the Bohemian method a try by lighting it on fire to not the greatest effect.

We want to thank our friend Mike for corrupting this episode with us! Check out his blog Dust & Corruption here.
