Episode 292: Finger Licking Good Time Redux

December 24, 2021

It’s Christmas Eve and Dave is already in the drunk tank, so we are running this “best of” episode to tide you over until Fast Eddie or Jeremy can get Dave out on bail. (again) We think he might be back in time for next week’s show, but you never know.

In the meantime, enjoy the True Story of Colonel Harlan Sanders, who very much IS a Christmas Icon. (In Japan).

Show Notes Episode 292: Finger Licking Good Times

This week Host Dave Bledsoe has his rejection to be named an Honorary Kentucky Colonel due to his love of bourbon rejected with prejudice. (Again.) On the show this week honoring the 40th Anniversary of the passing of an American legend (And notorious fuckboi) we talk about the life and times of Colonel Harland Sanders. (Dude was HORN-EE!)

Along the way we discover the secret of raising children in the 1980’s. (McDonald’s six nights a week, KFC on Sunday.) Then we dive right into the life of man who is much more than a white suit and a secret recipe! (He also swore so much it impresses Dave!) From his humble beginnings in Indiana (yeah, the Colonel wasn’t even FROM Kentucky!) to working on the railroad and pretty much every other job you can imagine before he became a fried chicken magnate. We also learn how he lost so many of those jobs. (Turns out, you do not FUCK with the Colonel, he WILL put you down!) Then we chart his rise in the world of chicken sales from humble entrepreneur to world striding titan to the breaded bird arts, and perhaps even to becoming the object of a religion. (Praise his breaded goodness!) Then we brazenly reveal the REAL Secret Recipe! (Come at us Big Chicken!)

Our Sponsor this week is General Slander’s West Virginia Fried Chicken, who wants you to know yeah, we got a GENERAL! We open the show with Mister Mac Kenzie’s conspiracy theories and close with Southern Culture on the Skids roadside cuisine choices.
