## Resource

This week, we chat about the morons in power and their general uselessness. Then, some Carpe DMs come thru to break the seriousness. The Other Foods and the Frozen Guy Review further break the tension. Our feature segment, You Just Made the List hits the best ten distilleries of all time. Going down the Reddit Rabbit Hole leads us to learn about the energy production of the EU, and While You Were Sleeping, you missed a YouTube video on how the USA could do the same. Finally, we close out the show by trying a locally brewed porter and chatting about some crazy news stories.
