Happy Fathers' Day everyone! 

In this special episode of The Day's Dumpster Fire, Ed and Kara don't mention a single thing about Fathers' Day and instead dive right into the absolutely insane incident known at at the 1919 Boston Molasses Flood. 

Ever heard of the the phrase, "Slower than molasses on a January morning" or something of the sort? Well.... it just so happened that 21 Bostonians were killed and another 150 people injured as well as a horse got smothered in a 2.3 million gallon sticky tsunami of molasses in just a few seconds. 

This topic, just like so many other topics, starts off with an assumption that the events that took place are comical and "sooooo 1919's" but when Ed and Kara dive in to the sweet, sweet, details; things are not as easily understood. This dumpster fire literally embraces the adage that to "assume" makes and "ass out of you and molasses."
