I could go on record saying that I struggled for a while over what to do about this week's show. That would be a lie, however.

On one hand, I freely admit that some of the language, actions, and stories from this interview are completely inappropriate for children and may even be offensive to many adults. Yes I know that some of you regular listeners have a low tolerance for the type of humor that is prevalent in this week's show. I am not insensitive to this -- hence the repeated warnings. I even admit that it would have been relatively easy to cut the seven or eight most potentially-offensive minutes out of the interview and "bleep" some of the harsher language.

On the other hand, this is easily the most fun I've ever had recording a podcast.

A few lessons learned from the evening:

1. Jager tastes deceptively like candy ... but it isn't. It's more like "evil cough syrup."
2. Jager will make you drunk-text your ex-girlfriend at 3:00 AM, and the results will not be pleasant.
3. When buying The Dirty Third a round of "whatever they're drinking," be careful: There are five of them (plus you), and whatever that Jager-mixed concoction is, it costs eight-bucks a shot. (It's really tasty though.)
4. When I detox from this encounter, I will definitely be asking Five 'Til Dawn to do an interview.
