Hi All,
I'm happy to announce that a brand new pile of fresh, steaming Drink Radio is posted below.Oh, and what a session it was. Chris and I were happy to welcome back our old friend, the rapier witted Bennett Webber - who then immediately proceeded to challenge the status quo, bust through conventions, tear down walls and piss all over anything and everything that came his way. He was mildly entertaining once we actually started recording as well. This session is posted in a whopping five, that's right count 'em, FIVE parts. PART 1 - includes our very first reading of LISTENER EMAILS - where we reply to emails sent by good friends KELLY DEUTSCH, TOMOMI WATANABE and my sister-in-law SUSAN TESSIER. I APOLOGIZE in advance to each of you. Let's just say that in the process of reading the emails, nothing was sacred and no one was safe. SORRY!Drink Radio alum, KEN PISANI was also mentioned quite a bit and was thrown under the bus headfirst - but he deserves it. To the rest of you out there - KEEP THE EMAILS COMING! ;) OMG lolWe'll try our best to insult you too!Once things settled down, we proceeded to Dueling iPods and played the best set of songs ever compiled in the long history of this show. Categories included things like "STONER SONG" and "SONGS YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE PLAYED AT YOUR FUNERAL". Lot of laughs.If nothing else, please keep an ear out for Monty Python's "Eric The Half-A-Bee" and Mouldy Peaches "Steak for Chicken" in parts 4 & 5 - they shouldn't be missed!

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!! PLEASE READ
Drink Radio is filled with naughty swear words, themes of questionable taste and a pretty good dose of sophomoric vulgarity. Fun! But it you’re under 18 you probably shouldn’t be listening to this, unless you’re "big for your age".
