We found some rattling the cage in opposition of their state-mandated closure, some rather cheerfully making the best of the shit situation, and others simply closed without any outward sign of acknowledgment of a global pandemic.   This being 2020, the state of the world changes on a daily basis, and several of the bars we checked in with have already changed their approach since we recorded, but speed (and accuracy for that matter) have never been our forte, so what are you gonna do?  We also checked in with ourselves to see what condition our condition was in as we mulled, yes, a return to drinking IN PUBLIC. Who will be first to leave the cozy confines of their home and order a round at their nearest tavern? (Hint: It\u2019s NOT Nathan.) Adding to the remote recording fun, Alfredo somehow managed to flip the \u201cFBI gang informant\u201d switch on his microphone, giving his voice a husky abnormal pituitary tonality...until it randomly returns to his normal prepubescent vocals at the 37-minute mark. Hey, they don\u2019t call us the best and most unprofessional historic bar podcast in America for nothing... enjoy!
