Introducing the second mini-episode to keep the gang alive in your hearts, like a beautiful storytelling parasite you just can't quit.

Ella dismantles the pop culture misrepresentations of vodou fan favorite, Papa Legba, with some facts and truth. Meanwhile, Miles and Cletus contribute their own wild and disturbing interpretations, surprising no one.

And just to show they care, here are some DDB life hacks to keep you afloat:

• Don't do seances.
• Show up and do your job.
• Wear your seatbelt.
• Be hygienic.
• Take care of your kids.
• Embrace history's discomforts.
• Hug people who don't suck.
• Add a dirty joke to the last one.

Welcome to the first mini-episode of the gang's "hiatus." Instead of an hour of unhinged rambling, experience 20 minutes of quality nonsense! This week's tale is that of Niulang and Zhinu, a.k.a. the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl. These are two literally star-crossed lovers with enough influence to inspire a Chinese Valentine's festival.

Craft a passion fruit margarita if you want, but that's definitely not a featured drink. The play on passion could have, nay, would have worked. Alas, that opportunity is lost. Forever. Not unlike Zhinu's clothes.

Today the gang checks in with an unofficial doctor's note from the universe.

Until at least October 2024, Dragons Drink Bourbon will be on a small "break." New episodes will still release periodically on Mondays at 5 AM EST, but they will be a lot shorter than the usual storytelling fiascos.

So stay tuned for some quick tales and take a breather with us. It's too hot to stay stressed anyway!
