The Origins of Drinks on the House
At the end of 2008, Peter C. Hayward and Gavin Core, two cousins who lived together in Brisbane, Australia, came up with an idea for a project: they would watch through the TV show “House M.D.”, and record a commentary for each episode.
The twist? While watching, they would have a big bottle of spirits in front of them. Whenever one of three things happened, they would take a shot:
1) Whenever someone had a seizure
2) Whenever someone had an MRI
3) Whenever “lupus” was mentioned.
Gavin, being a slightly larger and more burly figure than Peter, had a fourth criterion all to himself:
4) Whenever someone “flatlined”, or went bradycardic.
And so they recorded four episodes of “Drinks on the House”, and then they completely forgot about them.
Almost a year later, Peter, now living in Canberra (1200km away) was at home sick and bored, and discovered the footage. And so he decided to upload the footage, in three different forms:
1) As an audio commentary, to be downloaded and listened to while watching the show.
2) As a video, whole and complete.
3) As an edited video.
You see, when people are drunk, they alternate between extremely amusing, and utterly annoying. In the interest of openness and honesty, you can watch the footage in whole, but if you just want the juicy bits, you can check out the edited versions.
Drinks on the House: Coming September 2009.
