    Its hot… as fuck. But we (and you) are here. Empty The Tank is an all weather and all season show.At inception, we pay homage to Matt Vasgersian and John Madden, and invent an alarm clock that involves a morning visit from THE Eric Byrnes.After that, well, we descend into chaos.The legend of Miss Twerksum is told, and Meg the Stallion continues to keep us in a headlock that we will not fight. We also discern the difference between twerking and “moving one’s waistline”. An important distinction for the culture.We then give a brief history of former Hyundai Unicorn/Pittsburgh Pirate Jung Ho Kang – a 3x Dui’er who has returned to South Korea. From there, NBA gambling is discussed, Elvis’ death and diet is scrutinized and Evan makes a stunning confession.BoneAppleTea
