About this episode
We skipped a bunch of Presidents before we got to FDR so Craig is making up for it with a lightning round, running down US Presidents Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover!Want to make a mint julep to toast to Teddy? Here's his controversial recipe:
10 to 12 fresh mint leaves "muddled" (until it resembles paste) with a splash of water and a sugar cube
2 to 3 oz rye whiskey
.25 oz brandy
1-2 sprigs fresh mint as a garnish
First fill a bar glass* with the muddled mint, then fill the glass generously with finely crushed ice. Top off with the rye, brandy, and mint garnish.

Let's be honest. History is full of f*cked up sh*t. But what are we gonna do, pretend like it never happened? Have a drink with your host, actor and writer Will Sterling, and his more qualified former Presidential Speechwriting co-host, Dr. Craig Smith.
