All that and more on another episode of Close Encounters!

One Beer Anniversary

Did Meghan Markle give birth to a Cyborg? Could the Hadron Collider open up the gates of Hell?

Pubspiracy Beery (Coincidences & Conspiracies)

Just in time for National Star Wars Day, the Close Encounters of the Slurred Kind team proudly presents a brand new bi-weekly mini-series; The Sith Sense.  Deals are altered and Vader becomes a consultant - of sorts. Things are about to get weird on the drunk side of the force.

The Sith Sense - Episode I (Pilot)

Join the crew of the Black Swirl on their debut return to the Anti-Matter Minute Dimension as they pay tribute to Joeba's best friend and loving mother C.D., who tragically passed away on March 12th. Thank you for your continued patience and support during this difficult time. C.D. was an avid animal lover and we decided to dedicate this episode to her by discussing the most popular animals that science fiction has to offer. Sit back, laugh, cry, and drink a Diet Coke (her favorite) as we embark on our most heart-warming adventure to date.  If you'd like to make a contribution to C.D.'s heroic legacy, we urge you to donate to your local animal shelter or special education program. A little goes a long way. Always remember to #lovelikecd - Stay Slurred.  I love you, mom.

It's Ale About the "Momma Girl" (C.D. the Supernova)

On this week's episode of The Sith Sense, our be-hated lord of darkness inherits something truly evil. We don't want to let the "cat" out of the bag, so sit back, relax, and enjoy some more of Vader's brief life-changing words of wisdom. 

Episode III: The Feline Menace

As our favorite galactic evil doer's deadline approaches, he decides to draw inspiration from a very unlikely source...

Episode IV: A New Dope

Join the Black Swirl and her crew as they crash the royal wedding of Lone Star and Princess Vespa of Druidia while discussing some wild science-fiction fueled wedding themes, and some even wilder bachelor/bachelorette party stories! Will they be able to score the reward money they came for? Will Joeba really explore Dot's Matrix? All this and more on another exciting episode of Close Encounters of the Slurred Kind.
