Show Notes Episode 489: We Built This City on Flake and Blow This week Host Dave Bledsoe puts on a Hawwian shirt, drops a Jimmy Buffett record on the turntable and mixes up a Bahama Mama before anyone figured out that he was not part of the wedding and threw him out of the venue. (This happens a lot.) On the show this week we head south to a city of sun, sand and billions of dollars worth of cocaine, we talk about the Miami Drug Wars! Along the way we discover that a television news man was the most trusted man in Dave's family. Then we dive right into the history of what would become Miami Florida, and the first snow birds who moved there after they retired. From there we get into how the CIA helped kick start the cocaine trade in America. (This isn't just something “funny” Dave said, this happened.) We learn how the Cubans were all murdered by the Colombians (Scarface was a documentary really) and took over the Miami trade for themselves. We meet the scariest woman in Miami (and Bogota, and, well everywhere) before we get down to the business of finding a way to take all the drug money and put it to work.  (Real Estate baby!) Our Sponsor this week is Fast Eddie's Investment Services, investing involves risk and it doesn't get much riskier than Fast Eddie.  We open with Miami news coverage of the drug wars and close with the T Sisters explaining big city commercial real estate. (If you hate the Starship version, you are REALLY going to hate the T Sisters!)  Show Theme: Hypnostate Prelude to Common Sense The Show on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/whatthehellpodcast.bsky.social The Show on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatthehellpodcast/ The Show on Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxP5ywpZ-O7qu_MFkLXQUQ The Show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatthehellwereyouthinkingpod/ Our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/kHmmrjptrq Our Website: www.whatthehellpodcast.com Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/Whatthehellpodcast The Show Line: 347 687 9601 Closing Music: https://youtu.be/3JphLIPqhpg?si=QjZOk1u3m6IU_BoS Buy Our Stuff: https://www.seltzerkings.com/shop Citations Needed: KILLINGS IN FLORIDA OVER DRUGS ON RISE https://www.nytimes.com/1979/07/22/archives/killings-in-florida-over-drugs-on-rise-40-deaths-this-year.html MIAMI CRIME RISES AS DRUGS POUR IN https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/12/us/miami-crime-rises-as-drugs-pour-in.html America's Drug War https://americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/drug_wars/story3.html Miami flooded by cocaine cash https://www.upi.com/Archives/1990/02/11/Miami-flooded-by-cocaine-cash/8767634712400/ PBS Frontline: Drug Wars https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drugs/interviews/mcdonald.html SUSPECT HELD ON $10 MILLION BOND IN A CRACKDOWN ON DRUGS IN MIAMI https://www.nytimes.com/1981/02/28/us/suspect-held-on-10-million-bond-in-a-crackdown-on-drugs-in-miami.html Learn more about your ad choices.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Pete Sears of Moonalice over Zoom video! San Francisco-based psychedelic soul group Moonalice is set to release their latest studio EP, ‘Full Moonalice Vol. 1', on the high holy day of April 20. The six song record is the group's label debut on Nettwerk and features the previously released single “Woo Woo” and an extended version of the band's first single, “Time Has Come Today.” ‘Full Moonalice Vol. 1' is their first full body of work since transforming into a ten-piece in 2019 through the addition of Lester Chambers and Dylan Chambers of the New Chambers Brothers, and Erika, Rachel, and Chloe Tietjen of the T Sisters. Today, Moonalice shares “Let's Get Funky,” the latest single from their upcoming EP. Mixed and mastered by 4x-Grammy Award-winning engineer Dave Way, “Let's Get Funky” is a fresh take on the Chambers Brothers' hit “Funky.” Originally released in 1970, the song was written by Lester Chambers, a co-founder and lead vocalist of the Chambers Brothers, who is now a member of Moonalice. “Funky” broke the Billboard Top 100 despite being deemed “too risqué of a song for the time,” explains the 81-year-old Chambers. Moonalice delivers a new version of the song with tight grooving from Pete Sears and John Molo on bass and drums, funky guitar riffs from Barry Sless, an electric synth solo by Jason Crosby, soulful harmonica playing by Lester Chambers, and lively backing vocals from the T Sisters and Dylan Chambers. Moonalice will spend the next few months on the road, touring across California, including festival performances at BottleRock and Skull & Roses. The group is also planning an extra special event in San Francisco to coincide with their annual 4/20 celebration. Stay tuned for more details and national headline dates to be announced soon.We want to hear from you!

This week on the show, Z. speaks with Oakland's soulful singing T Sisters. For this trio of sisters, singing harmony-rich songs isn't just their full time job, it's a way of life. It's what they do - and damn do they do it well. Sisters Erika, Chloe and Rachel are harmonic masters. Whether it's demonstrated in their sassy soulful originals accompanied by upright bass, guitar, banjo and mandolin, or with their delicious vocal-layer-cake covers of Kylie Monogue and Paul Simon hits, family runs deep through our music. T Sisters will be releasing their next EP, "We Are Bound", produced by Oliver Wood (The Wood Brothers) in March of 2019.
