Tragically Chip, Talking Sheep, and the Science of Haunted Houses: Richard Crouse

Tragically Chip ice cream is real, it is maple whiskey with dark chocolate chunks and black cherry ripple, and it comes from a Tragically Hip collaboration with Kawartha Dairy landing June 22nd with proceeds going to the Breakfast Club of Canada.

WKRP Is Back, Your Old House Is Haunting You, and the Hip Have Ice Cream
Three real radio stations in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Dayton, Ohio have adopted the WKRP call letters and are simulcasting an all-adults hits format from the 60s through the 80s. A new study using 36 volunteers found that low-frequency infrasound from aging pipes and boilers quietly raises stress levels and produces what feels like a haunting, even when the sounds are below what human ears consciously register. Richard Crouse worked at a Toronto restaurant where multiple people over many years reported seeing Victorian-clothed figures walking around upstairs.

The Sheep Detectives and Three Drinks to Go With It
Hugh Jackman's character reads detective novels to his sheep every night. They understand English. When he is found dead, the sheep, voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, and Patrick Stewart, decide to solve it. Richard Crouse went in skeptical and came out genuinely charmed. The cocktails this week are the Wolf in Lamb's Clothing, a gin and Lambrusco drink, the Lamb's Wool, a spiced mulled ale recipe dating to the 16th century, and the Black Sheep, built around Yukon Jack and hot tea.
