About this episode

Angie shares a remarkable story of friendship during the Vietnam War involving John 'Chickie' Donohue's mission to deliver beer to soldiers.

Angie steals the entire episode to share a story of friendship in a time of war that you are not prepared for. In 1967, John "Chickie" Donohue, a merchant marine and Marine veteran, took up the mission to leave the safety of New York City by himself, with a dufflebag of Pabst beer, and deliver it to friends fighting in the Vietnam War. This impossible tale is apparently now a movie starring Zac Efron.
