Juice

9/24/2023
Juice is a sometimes delicious and always unhealthy drink that we usually either give to children or mix with alcohol to mask the taste of the poison we're drinking. One of us was so excited to talk about juice that he went out and had some celebratory drinks before recording this episode... try to guess who it was!
