Brad sits down with Sam Slaughter, the author of "Are You Afraid of the Dark Rum", for the first episode in the new Tabbi HQ Studio.

This episode originally aired March 4, 2019. It was the decade of “The Macarena,” the O.J. Simpson trial, the teen pop boom, VHS tapes, and Nintendo. It was also before 9/11 and Columbine, a time when the nation hung on every lurid detail of the president's sex life and the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan feud. Though 2000s nostalgia is on the way—as we discussed previously—it's hard to let go of our nostalgia for what looks like our last relatively innocent decade from here. Is there something extra special about the ‘90s? We discuss with guest host Sam Slaughter, author of the forthcoming Are You Afraid of the Dark Rum?: And Other Cocktails for ‘90s Kids.

“DOOMSCROLLING”Hilary and Derek talk with NYT journalist Jessica Bennett and her husband Sam Slaughter about how they coped in the days following the fall of Roe. This is a sad episode, folks! We doomscrolled, we cried, and Hilary spilled an entire salad. But it's not all bad news, Jessica tells us about her Fun Coach, Sam attends a Raiders of the Last Arc screening and Derek sees Countess Luann de Lesseps perform.Find Jessica's newsletter Wait, Really on Bulletin, and keep up with the rest of her work for the NYT by following her on twitter @JessicaBennett.

Today we sit down with Sam slaughter and talk about about 90s cocktails!

What do the '90s taste like? If this is something you’ve been pondering, you’re in luck! Food and drink writer, Sam Slaughter, has captured the spirit of the decade in his cocktail book "Are You Afraid of the Dark Rum?: and Other Cocktails for '90s Kids" with delightful concoctions like "I'm too sexy for this grog" and "Pickelodeon."  But successfully pulling off nostalgia takes more work than just clever puns and repeating old catch phrases. Sam talks with Kae Lani Palmisano about how much he had to study the decade and what he had to consider when making original cocktails that bring us back to the '90s. You can follow Sam at @SlaughterWrites on Twitter and Instagram.  His cocktail book "Are You Afraid of the Dark Rum?: and Other Cocktails for '90s Kids" on Amazon.

Sam has played a major role in the creative outputs at Vigor, but that's not the only part of his story. Sam has served as a spirits critic for major magazines, a bartender for reputable bars, and even wrote a book that seeks to capture the hearts of everyone born in or near the 90's. In this episode, we cover many bases on the state of the beverage industry, what's trending, and great ideas. We also have a lot of laughs. Take a look at Sam's book on Bookshop.org: Are You Afraid of the Dark Rum?: And Other Cocktails for '90s Kids Support the good people at Utz and their yummy cheeseballs.

11-24-20 Tonight at 9PM ET on GotMead Live, we'll be talking with Sam Slaughter, a food and drink writer who has also written books on cocktails, and is a ten year home meadmaker.

On today’s show, we welcome back President of Sellers Automotive Group, Sam Slaughter. Sam and Jim talk about how COVID-19 has affected the Michigan auto market and what car sales as a whole will look like moving forward. https://www.cbtnews.com/daily-automotive-newscast-may29-2020/

On this episode, we discuss a 90s classic show that should make a comeback, Are You Afraid of the Dark? The episode is The Tale of the Room for Rent from season 4, episode 8 as told by JoAnna Garcia Swisher. So all you 90’s children grab a cocktail and reminisce the good ole days of dunk-a-roos, gushers, surge and slime. Drinking Game: Fog machine used to inspire fear in the audience. Apparently the scariest thing that had been invented in the early 90s was the fog machine. You could play this game using only this rule and get drunk after one well-chosen episode. Pseudo-celebrity sighting. Take two drinks for anyone for which this show was probably the height of their careers. Two drinks for kids that later appeared on Degrassi. Some examples: Bobcat Goldthwait (The Tale of the Final Wish), Melissa Joan Hart (The Tale of the Frozen Ghost), Neve Campbell (The Tale of the Dangerous Soup), Ryan Gosling (The Tale of Station 109.1), Tia and Tamera Mowry (The Tale of the Chameleons), Elisha Cuthbert (The Tale of the Night Shift), Hayden Christensen (The Tale of Bigfoot Ridge), Tara Lipinski (The Tale of the Lunar Locusts). Parenting mishaps. For all the kids left home alone, parents who don’t question odd behavior, and anything that remains questionable. Prepubescent hijinks. Usually found in the first five minutes of the episode before things get weird. Any sort of prank you would expect from your sixth-grade brother. Awkward moment between lovers. Drink twice for any implied sexual tension between parents, siblings, ghosts and the living, etc. Believe me, it’s there. Sardo or Dr. Vink. Drink twice any time Sardo says “No mister, accent on the ‘do’” which is almost always. When Dr. Vink is on screen, you must precede all drinks with “Drink to Vink!” otherwise drink twice. Audible Canadian accent. Aboot to the max. First appearance of villain. Integral to the plot. Drink. Bad 90’s haircut. Drink twice if you had a similar haircut growing up. Inappropriate emotional response. Far too often do these kids see killers or ghosts and respond as if they’ve recently had a frontal lobotomy. Cut to the campfire. In the middle of the story. Total buzzkill. Life lesson or obvious moral. Because Nickelodeon is a learning channel. In my researching for a cocktail, I have discovered a book all of you 90s kids might want to check out, its called Are You Afraid of the Dark Rum? And Other Cocktails for 90s Kids by Sam Slaughter. The books says is is a cocktail book with recipes for re-creating adult versions of your favorite 90s childhood drinks as well as original craft cocktails....and includes drinks like The Fresh Mint of Bel-Air, Mambo No. 5, The Slammer, and The Rossi and Rachel. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/linedrunk/support

Before the big recession, leasing was a hefty 25 to 28 percent of new car sales in the U.S. But then in 2009, like so many other businesses, it took a huge tumble to just single digits. However today – three years later – it’s back up to 24 percent and who knows where the ceiling will stop.
