The thing is not how you are on your best day is how can you step up on your worst day.

When everything is going terrible, when you're tired, when you're frustrated, when you are edgy,

how do you treat other people?

Fuck pain.

Fuck heartbreak.

I'm still in love with life.

Yeah. Fuck heartbreak. I'm still in love with life. From the multicultural headquarters of the future capital of the free-thinking states of America known as Los Angeles, this is the Drunken Dow's podcast.

On this episode, Danieli has been burning the midnight oil preparing for his new class at Arizona State University,

the history of Rome. Nothing like covering 800 years of history in 14 weeks. But thanks to that,

we're going to do an even faster overview of Rome, folks endlessly vying to be the ruler,

which generally ends up with them being murdered. You can even be boiled alive.

That and a whole bunch more of good stuff, so come on in.

Let's have a look, and here we go.

And now, asking you all to spread the words that corporations are not persons,

I'm Rich Evers.

And my partner in crime, the savage philosopher,

and middle finger of the gods, Danieli Balelli,

as we invite you to lower the lights, batten down the hatches, and prepare to open your mind.

For the Drunken Dallas podcast begins now.

Welcome back to everybody to another fine episode of the Drunken Dallas podcast, episode 280. My goodness, it's going to be at 300 in no time. A quick note that this show was recorded at the end of August. So some mentions of Ohai's heats and mosquitoes and things like that. Those are all in the distant past. So first, let's give thanks to the kind folks that donated to the show to help keep it all going. Most of them have been doing this for years.

You are definitely welcome to join them.

Here we go.
