Kanpai! Sláinte! Cheers!
It's our inaugural episode! So why not douse yourself in eccentric facts about liquor, spirits, and libations? Seagull wine, beer laws, cocktail origins, "alternative" imbibation methods, and more. We hope you enjoy our first show!

Some more info on the use of alligator/crocodile dung as contraceptive:
The practice dates back to 1850 B.C. from the Egyptian Kahun Medical Papyrus which contains some of the oldest recorded methods of birth control. The dung, along with some other mix-ins (what is this? Cold Stone Creamery?), was used as a suppository - a solid that was placed and melted in the vagina. The mixture was effective both serving as a physical barrier against sperm, and as a lethal agent against sperm due to the alteration of the pH level.

This is pretty cool! I didn't know a mnemonic for the 10 provinces, so that could come in handy. Great work on the first episode!
I don't wanna nitpick, but the little boner dude in Blade Runner isn't origami, it's made from a match.
Great podcast by the way!
Congratulations guys!
Love the podcast. I run a weekly pub trivia in Gainesville, FL. Guess I'm doing a booze category next week.
Great first show! Bunch of clever people with a good sense of humour doing a trivia/quiz show. Fantastic.
If I were on any social media whatsits, I'd share your show with everyone. Instead, I'll just inform my real life pubquiz friends.
Looking forward to enjoying your number two. What?
Great Podcast! Huge fan of the Geekbox, now a huge fan of Good Job Brain!
Cant wait for next EP. Keep up the great work!
Love the show!
re: Gin/Tonic: also has lime so prevents scurvy in addition to Malaria...very important for sailors.
re: scrumping: Fanfuckingtastic word! Thank you!
Colin: Black FUCKING Sabbath. Dammit.
Great show, I see there's another episode for me to listen to. Exxcelent.
Flying Waffle!
An important nitpick, but it was a paper matchstick. Therefore, the nitpick should really be that it was Kirigami. :D
Nitpick Returned!
I love this podcast so much.
xxoo
Coming from a true cold blooded Canadian, we did not have to learn the American states nor any American geography of any kind. That was the early 90's and I'm quite sure that it's not changed.
She was lying.
Funny story though. Could have helped me in grade 5.
Cheers.
