Episode 17 – Bugle Boy Genes

Show Notes

Finally, our poor noise-to-signal ratio finally works in our favor! We’re talking about (and making) noise, and we start with a look at a bowling ghost that was exposed by the quiet of the pandemic. Next, an Indianapolis poltergeist that disturbed the whole neighborhood, and we finish with a phantom bugle whose tone reverberates throughout history. And all this shifting of the volume has inspired a drink that keeps cranking the favor up and down on you to stay electric with every sip!

Show Notes

It’s almost Mother’s Day, so we decided to bring in the woman who made it all happen, our own mother Shanna McDonald! She helps us explore the secret origins of the McDonalds’ obsession with the paranormal and help clarify some of the sketchier details. We share family paranormal encounters from three generations, including the haunted house in which Nick and Cait grew up, strange alien-like encounters in the Applegate region, and all manner of Southern Oregon weirdness! Top it off with a spicy sazerac straight from Momma’s heart, and you’ve got an episode you won’t find anywhere else!

Recipes

RECIPE: Macomb Smokeshow

1 Comment
  • 3 oz gin
  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz smoked rosemary trash cordial (see below)

Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until well chilled.  Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.  (For a smokier flavor, smoke your glass – instructions below)

Smoked Rosemary Trash Cordial

  • 1 cup leftover white wine
  • 2 limes (juice, pulp, and peel) or equivalent citrus fruit
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large dried Rosemary sprig

Bring wine and citrus juice and pieces to boil over low heat.  Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.  Strain fruit from syrup, return to low heat.  Add sugar and stir until dissolved.  Hold dry rosemary over pot, and light on fire with a barbecue lighter. Allow to smolder briefly then add to pot and turn off heat.  Allow syrup to cool then strain again.

Smoking a Cocktail Glass

Ignite 1 rosemary sprig on top of a heatproof plate, carefully allow it to burn slightly then extinguish flames. Immediately invert a glass on the plate covering the rosemary and allow it to smolder. (via puremixology.com)
