In honor of today’s terrific tale of Ernest Hemingway’s lesser-known brother from More Lessons of History, the guys debunk a Hemingway drinking myth and introduce fans to a Hemingway-favorite cocktail mix. On a serious note, Alex and Bryan touch on the causes of suicide and the modern availability of resources to get help for depression and other mental illness (see show notes for a few).
And, of course, Pirates.
