Too Fast Too Furious: Episode 67 (The Deadly Story of Wayne Wheeler and the Volstead Act)

We’re back BABY! In this episode of the podcast we are drinking a cocktail called the south side, a crisp gimlet adjacent drink that may become your new fav! This refreshingly herbal gin concoction is simple to make and easy to drink; its popularity ties into the era of TUX’s scandal.
🍸 - https://www.beyondreproachpod.com/the-cocktails/

TUX talks about prohibition, the time in the 1920s when the government tried to force us to quit drinking through the 18th amendment and a lesser known scandal about how Wayne Wheeler convinced the government to poison a popular source of bootleg liquor leading to the deaths of thousands of Americans. We 🥂 to the knowledge of too much power in the hands of too few hands is a terrifying combination.

In this final episode of Season 4 we are imbibing a classic, the Sazerac–a drink that some cocktail historians say was the oldest American cocktail. This concoction and other “old-fangled” alcoholic mixtures from 150+ years ago were reborn in the late 2000s, the era of STEPHANIE’s scandal.

In this episode STEPHANIE does a deep dive into President Obama’s first drone strikes–the one that happened 72hrs of him being in the Oval Office and how these “smart, tactical counter-terrorism maneuvers” carried out by the CIA hit the wrong ****ing targets right out the gate. We 🥂 to when warring for peace goes wrong, as it always does because that shit don’t make no sense.

You're Not Acting Like an Adult, Honey: Episode 50 (How Dan White Got Away with the Murder of Harvey Milk and George Moscone)

In this episode we are drinking our first tequila cocktail–the Frozen Margarita! This frozen  summertime crowd-pleaser is a spin on a vintage recipe called the daisy. For our non-Spanish speakers “margarita” is Spanish for “daisy.”
🍸 - Episode 50: Frozen Margarita — Beyond Reproach

STEPHANIE does a deep dive into the assassination of Harvey Milk and subsequent the “Twinkie Defense.” We raise our glasses to one of the many examples of straight white men getting away with literal murders using defenses that would have been laughed out of court if used by anyone else.
