0:00.0 | My name is Will DeFries and this is a Sunday Scaries Podcast, your cure for the Sunday Blues. |
0:14.7 | This week we're going to discuss the most amateur drinking holidays, |
0:17.9 | quarantine-approved shows to binge watch, and a Sunday conversation with Tyler Namin, the general manager of Eberley in Austin, Texas. |
0:25.4 | Is it so wrong for me to enjoy the solitude of a bar that's not spilling over with people I don't and never want to know? |
0:32.4 | Am I a bad person for wanting to slide a couple quarters in the jukebox and listen to Bob Seagars Live bullet while holding a conversation that doesn't require yelling? |
0:40.4 | Is it crazy to think that you don't need an excuse to get absolutely hammered other than you don't have any responsibilities that day other than, well, just getting hammered? |
0:48.4 | The answer is a firm no on all three accounts and I'll stand by that, especially with everyone quarantining themselves for the foreseeable future. |
0:55.4 | But seemingly once every month, everyone decides to come out and play. |
0:59.4 | In flocks, bargoers creep out of their apartments and fill the streets. |

1:21.4 | Number 5. Cinco de Mayo |
1:24.4 | Great, an excuse for everyone to go get black out and drunk on one liquor they swore off after college. |
1:29.4 | While I'm as much of a fan of tacos and margaritas as much as anyone, I'm not a fan of large wait times and shoulder to shoulder seating. |
1:36.4 | Every single Cinco de Mayo, you find yourself doing exactly what Alvaro and Alicis are trying to do. |
1:40.4 | Going to a Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurant that you can get the real experience at. |
1:44.4 | But because it's widely accepted as the Latin version of St. Patrick's Day, you and every other person in town is waiting in the same line to go to the same restaurant to drink the same margaritas served you by the same waiter who hates his life. |
1:55.4 | Number 4. The Night Before Thanksgiving |
1:57.4 | As an avid fan of getting the band back together while blasting the boys or back in town on route to your local hometown watering hole, |
2:03.4 | the Night Before Thanksgiving is widely considered to be the biggest bar night of the year. |
2:07.4 | Thanksgiving is the perfect day for a hangover. |
