I used to frequent a seedy bar on Market Street called The Top Hat. I don’t think it’s there anymore, but I would get $2 bourbon and Cokes while I waited for my then-girlfriend to get off work. A plastic tumbler full of Old Crow topped off with a splash of flat, syrupy Coke reminds me of that summer, which I suppose was pretty seedy on its own.

The Popdose Podcast: Episode 3

Thanksgiving 2009 has come and gone, and chances are you’re feeling that all-too-familiar bloated feeling — the one that can only come from stuffing yourself full of turkey and suppressed familial anger. There’s only one cure for your condition: The Popdose Podcast, Episode 3!

As you might expect, much of this episode focuses on Turkey Day, but as you might also expect, the conversation between the three of us devolves quickly enough to a point where none of us can breathe from laughing so hard. We hope we’re not the only ones who find ourselves so amusing.

So download away! You can do so here, or subscribe in iTunes (link below). We’d love to accompany you on your Black Friday trip to the mall, while you decorate your Christmas tree (too soon!), or on your drive home from your family get-togethers. Please leave us your thoughts in the comments, and if you like the show, please leave a review on iTunes. And here’s a promise from the three of us: no soup was defiled during the recording of this broadcast. Enjoy!

The Popdose Podcast, Episode 3: Edible Merkins (1:04:21, 73.7 MB), featuring Jeff Giles, Jason Hare, and Dave Lifton.
