We face off against Mike Polk Jr. in his new drinking game.
with the holidays in full swing,comedian Mike Polk Jr. usually has a decent buzz going until New Year's Day. Naturally, he's co-created a drinking game, Cleveland Drinks. Available this month, the Kickstarter-funded game lets players draw quirky, civic-centric cards until the deck of 52 is gone. Ahead of his Dec. 4 album release party at the Agora Theatre and Ballroom for his new Baseless Arrogance: Live from a Bowling Alley CD, we sat down with Polk and some pints of Guinness for a few rounds of the game.
ROUND 1
MIKE POLK jr.: Can you tell who wrote that one? Spite.
We drink.
And I have to watch for your cue on that one. I would have been Chris Bosh in that scenario.
ROUND 2
MP: Hopefully people will really do that, and they can click it and scroll through to see other people playing.
JASON BRILL:I'm going to do it, and you're going to be in it.
MP: That's great.
ROUND 3
MP: I like this card, but it's one of my least favorite things to hear. What a D-bag alarm. I like it because it's a card that's in effect for the rest of the game.
