The Original Golden State Killers: Episode 38 (The Genocide of Native Californians)

In this episode we are drinking 19th century San Francisco’s most famous cocktail, the Pisco Punch. This boozy lemon flavored beverage “tastes like lemonade but comes back with the kick of a roped steer” —its popularity ties into the era and location of STEPHANIE’s scandal.

STEPHANIE, in honor of National American Indian Heritage Month, does a deep dive into the genocide of Native Californians.We raise a toast to the real Golden State Killers and the fact they failed to exterminate native peoples, culture, humanity, customs, kinship, languages, spirit, spiritual practices, environment etc. Y’alls tried it but you didn’t succeed.

Today we are kickin' it old school regarding our drink!

Today we are kickin’ it old school regarding our drink! The Gin Punch we're sipping on is our adaptation of a classic punch from the 1820s. It also happens to taste like a boozy lemon-flavored San Pellegrino! Salute!

Also covered: The hilariously lame origin story of the Tom Collins, Old Hickory vs. delicious hickory sausages, Stephanie’s firing of Tux for not speaking Thai, Tux’s love of movies from the 40s, Nigerian scams, yellowface, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Stephanie’s scandal is a foundational one about the Cherokee Nation’s Trail of Tears, that massive genocidal redistribution scheme in which a native people, who had won their sovereignty case in front of the Supreme Court, lost everything they had because the executive branch refused to follow the judiciary. Who knew that could happen?
