“Misfortune Seldom Comes Alone—But the Drinks Sure Do!”
Welcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast. This week, hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor—joined by their delightfully unlucky guest, the rabbit’s foot itself (special guest status earned)—dive head-first into Supernatural Season 3, Episode 3, “Bad Day at Black Rock.” Cursed objects, chaotic luck, Bobby’s exasperation, and Sam’s shoe-related misfortunes all collide in this offbeat, fan-favorite romp.
A Curse, a Foot, and a Whole Lot of Falling Down
Krissy and Nate unpack one of the funniest episodes of early Supernatural, relishing the shift from demon drama to Looney Tunes-style slapstick. They explore the emotional beats—like how the boys are still so young and earnest here?—as well as the episode’s running motifs of luck, chaos, and the consequences of Dad Winchester’s… storage habits. There’s also plenty of love for the tonal whiplash that makes “Bad Day at Black Rock” a standout: horror one minute, physical comedy the next.
The hosts break down how the drinking game rules play out—especially the heroic “luck/lucky” rule and the fan-favorite “I lost my shoe” moment. They highlight the episode’s great character intros, like Sterling K. Brown’s intense Gordon and Lauren Cohan’s sly Bella Talbot, while keeping just enough surprises tucked away for your listen.

Final Thoughts
Krissy and Nate wrap things up by celebrating the episode’s perfect blend of comedy, danger, and character development. Their closing banter lands on a high note—fondness for the episode, love for the fans, and just the right dash of Winchester-style snark.
