Titties and Spice and Everything Nice: Episode 58 (The Rebranding of Christopher Columbus)

In this very special Halloween episode we are drinking one of our absolute favorite cocktails (this will soon be apparent #sorrynotsorry), the Gimlet. This lime-laced gin beverage became the drink of choice by British officers on long ocean voyages out of necessity to prevent scurvy–its popularity with sailors ties to the era and theme of STEPHANIE’s scandal.

STEPHANIE exposes the ahistorical rebranding of Christopher Columbus and the holiday invented as a PR campaign to smooth over some good ol American lynching. We 🥂to wishing that Christopher Columbus died of dick scurvy! Rest in piss.

American Legends: Episode 10 (Johnny Appleseed & Davy Crockett)

To commemorate the final episode of Season 1 we imbibe on a refreshing [Jack Rose cocktail](https://www.beyondreproachpod.com/the-cocktails/2019/5/17/episode-10-the-jack-rose), made with Applejack, America's first spirit. We learn about the history of its distillation and how it links to Tux's scandal.

To commemorate the final episode of Season 1 we imbibe on a refreshing Jack Rose cocktail made with Applejack, America’s first spirit. We learn about the history of its distillation and how it links to Tux’s scandal. We depart slightly from our politically scandalous program to explore two folk heroes of American foundational mythology Johnny Appleseed and Davy Crockett, revealing how their real stories are more scandalous than the fairytale portrayals we learned about in grade school.

Also covered: Stephanie’s lies, our summer break, brain damage lite, apple botany, the state of Franklin, sick burns and dolphins.

Tux explores how Johnny Appleseed wasn’t the quirky selfless loner travelling around sprinkling appleseeds so that future settlers would have a wholesome food source when they arrived at the frontier. In reality he was much more of a shrewd real estate developer and a hippie mystic than a promoter of apple consumption.

Stephanie dives into the life and times of Davy Crockett. Every election cycle Americans threaten to move if the wrong person is elected, this threat is not a contemporary one. Davy Crockett, the legendary frontiersman is by far the most infamous to make this pledge. He swore that if Martin Van Buren was elected president, he would never set foot in this country again.
