In this episode we are drinking a Locomotive, a vintage obscure wine based cocktail thickened with egg and spiced with clove. This creamy (surprisingly delicious) mulled wine-like concoction ties into the era and theme of TUX’s scandal!
🍸 - Episode 47: the Hot Locomotive — Beyond Reproach

TUX’s does a deep dive into the Crédit Mobilier Scandal. We raise our glasses in toast to eating the rich because rich people wouldn’t be able to hoard all of their wealth at the expense of everyone else if the rest of the world didn’t sit back and let it happen.

ALSO MENTIONED: TUX’s sound effects, Ralphie’s valentine’s day card, OBGYN time, Gilded Age, robber barons, Enron, talent, the Third Wheel Podcast, cocaine lozenges thanks Grant, methodism, telling on oneself, Teapot dome, the Supreme Court being their usual trash, crise-a-tunity and the Sound of Music.
