Show Notes Episode 348: When Inflation Comes Along, You Must Whip It This week Host Dave Bledsoe fights the rising costs of his bar tabs by handing the bartender a button asking him to Whip It instead of money. Only to get his ass whipped behind the bar by the bouncers. (Again.) On the show this week, we take you back to a time when the worst possible idea to fight inflation was also the only idea they had!

(Not the President we needed and also not the President we deserved) Fi
