  • Mishaps, Mayhem and Punk Rock
    Dec 13 2024

    In their 7th episode, Lee and Jerry sample Celebration Ale by Sierra Nevada. Then, a special guest dials in to honor Friday the 13th. Topics include "Oh crap, we started a fire!" and "Smokey The Bear of West Catasaqua". They also discuss past vehicular mishaps, including the drive train pole vault, the Mrs. Smith's pie truck incident and a very peculiar "low speed chase" through Whitehall. In keeping with the theme of mayhem, the discussion turns to particular old school punk rock concerts from the early 1980's, including The Plasmatics in Scranton, Dead Kennedys in West Catasaqua and a memorable Halloween concert by Public Image Ltd.
