Oh my goodness, can you believe it? A new episode? Yes! And just in time too … squeaking in one last podcast before the end of the world.

Jerry gives his rather inept review of Leopold Bros. Absinthe Verte, and then does something unorthodox with it. Dan reciprocates and does something blasphemous with his absinthe as well, thus giving you, dear listener, two examples of what not to mix with absinthe.

The boys wrap up reports from across the world about what loony things people are doing because of the end of the Mayan calendar, and reveal their plans for surviving, or at least, celebrating, and speculate on what, and when, it will actually happen. Or fail to happen.

Other scintillating things discussed are Katy Perry vs. Pink, or which one is more likely to kick their asses. Jerry dredges up the amazing fact that Joan Rivers once directed a movie staring Billy Chrystal.

If you’re not otherwise busy at the end of the world, join us!

Our summer hiatus lasted a bit longer than we’d anticipated, but we’re back! You can tell Jerry is out of practice as he announces the show as “Slow Deeth in the Afternoon.” No, that was not on purpose.

Many interesting things discussed on this episode, including how to finance your absinthe with reckless abandon, and we also … just for the heck of it … include a snippet of audio of a woman high on LSD.

Also, Dan and Jerry are thinking of pitching a show to the Food Network called, “What were you drinking?!”

We ask ourselves that constantly.

First and formost, click on the art to the left to see a great thread of Green Fairy concept art over at Conceptart.org. Awesome images and ones that we’ll be keeping an eye on! Even though that sounds painful.

Safety note: Please always remember to keep your eyes inside your eye sockets at all times. Thank you.

Meanwhile we’re back from our summer hiatus. Without more ado, here’s our latest episode…

Subjects covered include talk about how to keep your room cool in the summer (because, of course, you don’t want your absinthe to overheat); natural colors in absinthe; if it’s wise or even sane to mix absinthe with DeathWish Coffee; whether or not its a good thing that Jerry and his daughter have pterodactyls living in their apartment complex, and a whole bunch of other things that Jerry can’t remember as he’s typing this. Except that, of course, thank you for listening!

Three absinthe reviews in this episode! Three. And an endorsement for using Jaegermeister as actual medicine. Jerry tells the tale he’s probably told before about how Jaeger was used as a miracle cure in San Dimas, California, back in the late 1980′s.

You can safely say that, as much as the last episode barely had anything to do with absinthe, this one is very absinthe-centric.

Sadly, Dan was not able to make it to the Absinthe Festival as he’d planned, so this was recorded during the festival while both he and Jerry lived vicariously through the social media posts of those who were there.

Music featured on this episode is from the vastly under-appreicated album A Beautiful Night by Lokumu. If you like what you hear, please go check out the rest of the album.

Thank you for listening, everyone! Please comment below, and also share with your friends. That’s like applause to us. Also, some 5-star ratings on iTunes would be awesome as well!
