To start this frighteningly difficult challenge, the Drunk Guys read The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe. While discussing the reliability of the narrator, wonky eyes, and the short story format, they sample Still Making Noise by Singlecut Beersmiths and Heinous a collaboration between Finback Brewery and Mikerphone.
