Welcome to the Off-Menu podcast. We are the worm at the bottom of the tequila that is the internet.

0:20.0

My name is Ed Gamble. My name is James A. Kaster. A drunk little worm.

0:24.0

James is a drunk little worm. If anyone had asked me to describe James, I would say.

0:29.0

James is a sort of a drunk little worm guy. Drunk little tequila worm.

0:32.0

Wonder what that's like. Is the worm alive?

0:35.0

I don't know, I guess not. I'm assuming the worm is not alive because it's at the bottom of the bottle of tequila.
