A young man leaves Massachusetts on a ship bound to harvest ice and deliver it to Charleston. When they encounter an impossible iceberg and haul a mysterious fragment on board events are set in motion that will lead our young hero, and generations after him, on a journey to their horrible destinies on an island off the coast of South Carolina.
Hey Hey! Kirk and Alex are back with Kirk's latest research project. America's history with drinking and driving is just as absurd as you probably think it is. Kirk walks us through a hundred and fifty years of cocaine and booze fueled nonsense, the power of advocacy and what happens when a goal is accomplished, and our unwillingness to link drinking and driving to cars.

If you dig it, please let us know! It's a rough draft of whatever this concept could become, but we had a good time reading and talking about the removal of human shit from our homes.

Thanks for listening.

Published 9 Mar 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] It's just if like anything happens. If a child runs out in front of you, you're going to kill it. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's so. Basically, and this has been reproduced many times, but at a BAC of 0.05, that's like two to three beers on an empty stomach, your reaction time and judgment miserably drops. […]
