We’re sorry but the Strait of ‘Vermouth’ is SO F*CKING RED STATE REBOOT CODED!!!

And in honor of 4/20, we’re re-bitching about the impending hemp bans in states like NC (thanks a lot @ mitch and @ big alcohol lobby). But, remember! Bitching without action is complacency, so look up your elected officials and make them work for you: https://ballotpedia.org/Who_represents_me. (Want a script? Visit https://fgtm.substack.com/)

No joke :---) we made y’all an extra ep this week! And TBH, Ben summed it up perfectly: it’s April, and we’re still the fools! Nevertheless, we’re continuing to spin the wheel. Wait, are we… wheelmaxxing?!!!! It’s really just a coping mechanism at this point…. Come for Clavicular (yikes), stay for Colombus (yuck), and make it all the way through to hear who’s dropping their towels at the Lincoln Memorial in June!
