It's World Bartender's Day!

David Vancil's book, "Rage Into The Night" is now an audio book. (Amazon) (Audable)

JD and David air a few clips from the book and talk about how glad they were to have experienced the crazy things they did when they were younger.

They also discussed how a regular day at a dive bar might be one of the best days ever for someone that's from out of town or even another country. David talks about his next book which will highlight his years bartending in Japan which is coming out soon.

The boys also discuss the opportunities they likely blew as the result of the paths they chose...

"We all have those regrets, but those choices are who made us the interesting people we are today. It’s drunken wonderful adventures and also experiencing life.... Perhaps it's also what makes you a damn good bartender.... Tune in!"

ALLEN IS BACK from the peace corps! He's completed his mission of passing out bibles and fireball to those less fortunate in some foreign country... Anyway, JD and Allen try to wrap their heads around the recent senseless tragedies that have occurred. They step outside of their cardinal rule and discuss politics and the heated climate. Shifting gears, the boys talk about unity, Powerball, patience, and all of the new sporting rules that have occurred throughout Football, Baseball and Hockey in the past few years. Has it made the games better?

"I've been told to leave, I've been kindly escorted out… but I've never refused to leave and the police came…"

The boys catch up and talk out of their asses for a while talking about dive bar "evictions"… of course the police eventually got involved…. They also air the new segment "Dive bar news stories" Tune in now!

The episode starts on a somber note. JD and Raven reflect on the passing of Ozzy Osbourne...

Then we recap the podcast remote! JD and Raven explored Tuckaway Golf Club in Crete. TFADB sponsored a hole to benefit the Steger Women's Auxiliary #521 in addition to Mission 22 which creates programs that meet veterans and their families where they are, before a crisis point, in the midst of struggle, and throughout the long road of recovery… We also partied at the hole we sponsored and breathalyzed some college ages kids to see who was the most wasted. Special thanks to Dal Santo's Sausage & Catering for the amazing food once the beer munchies hit.
