Should we have recorded two shows in one night? Probably not. But Ape and Reba double-booked themselves and we are nothing if not professionals. Did you keep a straight face on that last part? Neither did I when I typed it. At any rate, here’s your foray into Japanese whisky and shenanigans. You’re Welcome.

Bonus Episode: The Drunk Guys and Cormac McCarthy

The Drunk Guys Book Club Podcast invited the Bitches over to join their discussion of Cormac McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses. Not only did an amazing discussion happen, but the guys were nice enough to handle all the editing duties. So, Ape decided to take the gift and send it out to you just the way they sent it to her – with a quick hello added in so she could feel somewhat useful.

So, I suppose you can call this a bonus episode. I love that y’all hang out here, but you should really go check them out over there.
