Southern Comfort

Garth, Ectoplasm, and a Whole Lot of Hugs in Supernatural's “Southern Comfort”
Welcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor cover Season 8, Episode 6, “Southern Comfort,” the Supernatural episode where they watch along and build a drinking game around every ectoplasm mention, Garth appearance, and Winchester hug. When violent deaths hit Kearney, Missouri—including one victim with a mysterious word carved into his chest—Sam and Dean arrive to find a familiar hunter already on the case.The Conversation
Krissy and Nate argue over how many drinks a single Garthism is worth, and whether Dean's prickliness about Bobby's memory deserves its own rule. Take one for every hug, and toast "Sammy!" whenever Dean breaks out the nickname. They also dig into DJ Qualls' grand entrance as Garth and the show's surprising history-nerd detour into the Missouri-Kansas border.The Wrap-UpIt's a lighter, funnier hour than most, and the hosts have a blast building rules around it.
