What The Hell Were You Thinking

Show Notes Episode 369: We Really Had A Blackout This week Host Dave Bledsoe tries to remember if he paid the ConEd bill or if he is about to experience his own mini-blackout. (Again) On the show this week we head back forty five years to 1977 and that time ConEd decided to turn all the fucking lights out in New York City. (Again.) Along the way we learn how Dave used to live in the kinds of places where the power goes on the regular. (Turns out, you DO have to pay that electric bill!) Then we dive right into the night of July 13th 1977 in New York City. (The Met sucked as always) and how the gross failure of the Consolidated Edison caused all the lights to go out for 24 hours. When that happened, things got…exciting? (In the OH MY GOD WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE! Kind of way) NEXT WEEK get ready for the Chubby Behemoth: we kick off a two-parter on the Son of Sam!  Our Sponsor this week is The Flashlight In the Kitchen Drawer, who wants you to know it won’t be IGNORED! We open the show with a little audio doc
