The Luckiest Fool On Earth Sep 20, 2025

Show notes

Tonight on the Cocktail Nation we’re diving into some strange but true tales from the past. You’ll hear the story of Alvin ‘Shipwreck’ Kelly—the luckiest fool who cheated death more times than Sinatra had encores. We’ll take a detour with Bertha Benz, the first road-tripper who snuck out with her husband’s brand-new invention. Plus, a peek into bizarre events you’ll swear can’t be real, and a lounge lover’s guide to the coolest happenings from Sydney to Beverly Hills. So slip into something sharp, pour yourself a double, and join me, Koop Kooper, as we step into the swank.”
