Proudly Smuggled by Americans: Episode 62 (The Real Story of the Boston Tea Party)

In this episode, we are drinking a colonial relic called the Rattle Skull that features a mixture of dark Caribbean rum and porter beer. This tavern-style concoction’s popularity matches the era of STEPHANIE’S scandal.

STEPHANIE is the event known as “action against tea” or the “destruction of the tea”— which was a true act of revolution, just not the one we are told about in schools. We 🥂to the tax break that led to the creation of the United States of America.

South Pacific Sadness: Episode 21 (The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy & Warren Delano, FDR's Opium Smuggling Grandpa)

Just in time for summer, this episode we taste-test two very different versions of the Mai Tai, taking a trip back in time when a very problematic Tiki culture reigned supreme. We sample the original 1944 version and the 1953 reboot. The OG rum cocktail was once so popular it depleted world rum supplies for a bit.

TUX talks about the very scandalous way the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown. Not many people know that long before Hawaii was a state it was a sovereign nation with a queen, a democratically elected legislature and ambassadors all over the world. This was true until a powerful group of white Hawaiian businessmen set their sights on the island nation.

STEPHANIE tells the story of Warren Delano’s “fair, honorable, and legitimate trade” in illegal drugs. This scandal is about how the Delano empire secured its wealth but it’s really a scandal about freedom the freedom to secretly roll around in drug monies.
