Hey there, Dan here with another sporkful reheat for you.

This week we're sharing a special collaboration we did a little while back with our friends at the NPR podcast, Planet Money.

I teamed up with my old pal, Alex Goldmark, for this episode.

Trust me, you're going to walk away from this one knowing a lot more about vodka than when you started.

And if you think that this entire episode was an elaborate ruse for Alex and I to drink

vodka and charge you to NPR, well, I just want to remind you that there's an old episode

of the Sporkful. You want us to pull out of the deep freezer. Let us know by sending an email or voice

memo to hello at sporkful.com. Be sure to include your first name, your location, what episode

you want us to hear, and why.

Now, a quick note before we get into this episode, Industry City Distillery, which you hear

in this episode featured, has closed since the episode aired.

But I think you're going to enjoy it.

Put yourself a drink and enjoy.

Quick heads up, there is a little bit of explicit language in this episode.

A while back, I went to a bar called O'Keefs.

It's a standard Irish bar in Brooklyn.

I was there with my friend Alex Goldmark.

Former friend, because you basically picked an argument with me.

Yeah, you're right.

I am telling you it is a real thing that happens just about every time.

So wait, you're telling me when you drink cheap vodka, you have an allergic reaction,

but when you drink expensive vodka, you're fine.
