Minisode: Pistol Shots to Pill Counts

The first rule of FIGHT CLUB is: you don't talk about FIGHT CLUB. But on this minisode, we're breaking some rules to bring you a dose of Louisiana lore you won't want to miss! Our special guest, Gerald Dupre , is here to share a rich and tangled family history. His grandfather may have fired the opening shots of the last legally sanctioned duel in Louisiana. That's right, we're talking about "I challenge you, sir!" with the slap of a glove and all the drama that entails. This same ancestor wasn't just a duelist; he was also an avid farmer with possible ties to the Cajun Mafia —spooky! But Gerald, our guest, followed a distinctly different path. He spent over sixty years in the pharmaceutical industry , witnessing incredible changes and blessings throughout his long career. So, to recap: Duels Mafia Drugs (the pharmaceutical kind, of course!) Oh, and the cotton gin ! Most importantly, lots of laughter along the way!
