Apologies for Knoxville's sound quality on this episode. Please direct all complaints/threats/rants to our producer, who screwed it up. But stick around, because this is our naughtiest episode to date. We have on writer David Kushner to talk about the Likker Legend, Popcorn Sutton (1946-2009), the whiskey he made his whole life, the fiddler he (may have allegedly) killed, his thoughts on cunnilingus, and so much more.

In 1999, Tori Murden became the first woman to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She later went on to become the first woman to ski to the South Pole and climb the Lewis Nunatak mountain in the Antarctic. That's not to mention her time serving AIDS wards, spreading health awareness among heroin addicts, working for Muhammad Ali, and serving as the president of Spalding University. Oh, also she hates when we brag on her accomplishments.
