In Season 2 (ish) Episode 6, Neil relates an encounter with an unhoused person in LA, Dan (or Danzilla), who offered a very unique take on one of our favorite films, The Big Lebowski.
We then take a deep dive into what Phil considers to be perhaps the most Big Lebowski story in the Old Testament, Judges 17-18, wherein Micah, a Levite, and the tribe of Dan very confidently get everything completely wrong.
We checked the "explicit material" box for this because there are a couple of F-bombs in honor of The Dude.
What we're drinking:
Phil: Sioux City Sarsaparilla
Neil: a White Russian
