Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
For what may be our last episode of the year (since next weekend in Christmas),Steve is quaffing Bunnahabhain for this week's peaty Islay whisky, mostly in the vain hope that "Bunnahabhain" could be added to the National Spelling Bee, just for grins and giggles. But after the usual whisky reviews and insults, we get down to business with special guest "Adam Mill," whose fine work you can take in regularly at American Greatness. "Adam Mill" is a pseudonym for a lawyer based in the midwest who, like our own "Lucretia," needs to preserve a modicum of anonymity against the Bureau of Cancellations. He took the name from Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill, which means that not only is the Three Whisky Happy Hour the only podcast with two pseudonymous contributors, but with "Lucretia," the only podcast that combines ancient and modern pseudonyms.
Since it's the holiday season, we decided to review a few of the key stories of 2021 (chiefly January 6 and its bizarre and infuriating aftermath, and the palpable collapse of the Biden presidency in its first year), and then "Adam Mill's" predictions for 2022.
Finally, Steve relates how he has discovered "Spaces" on Twitter, where you can listen in on and particpate in live conversations. The one Steve is now following is a young conservative underground—people who pride themselves on being "based," whatever that means—that is using Spaces to carry out superb improv comedy that mocks every progressive cliche and shibboleth you can name in a complete deadpan style. (The best "runner" was the sequential riffs on "St. George of Floyd, blessed be his name. . .") Hats off to Athenian Stranger for his role in this delightful and transgressive escapade.
Hosted by Steve Hayward, with guests AMAdam Mill and "Lucretia"

I've looked everywhere for the version of Whiskey in the Jar that used to be the theme song. Anyone know where I can find it?
Thanks

Being a relatively new listener, it’s been fun digging through old shows, trying to figure out the jokes. I keep seeing images of you in an animated cartoon series, with titles like: Peaty Stevie and the Girl (who plays with guns), Peaty Stevie and the Girl (who went Ughhh), or Peaty Stevie and the Girl (who recited a poem). The episodes would involve Lucretia setting various traps for Steve, who would often times fall into them, but then magically, and smoothly skate away unscathed. At the end of each episode, we would hear a faint giggle, and know all is well with the world.
Merry Christmas to you both, and thank you for creating such a highly entertaining and informative show. It’s a treat.

If I’m not mistaken, that was Roger Whittaker.

It was the Grateful Dead believe it or not. Here's a YouTube version of it, though it is available on CD and maybe iTunes:
