The Junkies began their final broadcast from The Ballpark Of The Palm Beaches down a man Wednesday.
UPDATE: EB Not Dead, Describes Harrowing Journey
JP: Eric Bickel is not with us. He's not in D.C. He hasn't flown back to beat the snow. He went to The Woods restaurant with Jason Bishop, because they're obsessed with Tiger Woods. And, apparently, he didn't make it out alive.
Bish: He didn't make it. When I saw him, he was fine.
Cakes: Well, he's alive, but apparently barely alive.
Bish: I left him at the lobby of the hotel last night at about, I don't know, maybe 7:30.
JP: So it actually was just a happy hour that you guys went to.
Bish: Yeah. Went to happy hour. Went over there at about 4:30. Took about 20 minutes, 25 minutes to drive. Really nice place. The Woods is really nice. Upscale sports bar. Tons of TVs. Smokeshow of a bartender. I didn't see much, but The Woods is in kind of an upscale, ritzy town center. It looks like Beverly Hills in Florida. So, we valeted the car. Went in there. Had a couple drinks. There was actually some listeners in there that spotted us.
Cakes: Really?
Bish: Yeah. It's unbelievable.
Cakes: Very nice. Junks P1s.
Bish: It was a listener from Boca Raton that hung out with us for a little bit.

— Eric Bickel (@EBJunkies) March 20, 2018Pretty sure Tiger is involved in the hiring here. Lots of #blondesillies.
— Eric Bickel (@EBJunkies) March 20, 2018Bish: And then there was another couple that's from Falls Church that was down here just to kind of watch the Nats. They come down here every spring. They were sitting at the bar, so we talked to them. Anyways, so Eric ordered chicken wings, and a burger and I think a salad.
Cakes: That's a lot of food. No wonder he got food poisoning! He ate everything on the menu.
JP: How many dranks? Because I think the dranks sometimes affect the tummy.
Bish: Well, he had two Jack-and-Cokes. I mean, nothing crazy. I had a grilled chicken Caesar salad, which was awesome, and a glass of wine, and I was fine. Got back to the hotel. He said, 'I'm just gonna hang out and get some snacks.' He says he wanted to get some snacks!
Cakes: After eating a salad, wings and a burger, he needed snacks! He needed Snacks Harrison!
Bish: Right. I said, 'All right. Well, I'm going up.' Because it was about 7:45. I was just gonna wait for you guys to text me, let me know if you were in the bar or not. ...I said, 'What do you mean, snacks? Where are you gonna get snacks?' And then, that's the last I heard from him. And then this morning, I wake up and you guys are telling me that he was throwing up.
Cakes: Well, the reports are he's puking and it's coming out the other end as well. It's no bueno. It's to the point where, if our flight departs today -- and I'm crossing my fingers that it does -- that he claims that he can't get on the bird!
JP: He'll be fine in a couple hours. C'mon! Eat some bread. He'll be okay.
The irony of Tiger Woods’ restaurant giving @EBJunkies food poisoning...
— Chris Kinard (@ChrisKinard) March 21, 2018JP: What is The Woods like? Is it nothing but memorabilia of Tiger Woods?
Bish: I mean there were pictures of Arnold Palmer and Jack, but it wasn't overly Tiger Woods obsessive.
JP: But golf obsessed?
Bish: Well, yeah. There were some pictures, but it really wasn't over-the-top. I mean, it was a pretty classy little place. But, I loved it. Service was great. Food was excellent. Sat at the bar. And, I guess Bickel didn't take to it.
Cakes: The Tiger Woods restaurant didn't really agree with him.
Bish: I was surprised. I don't know what happened with him last night.
