Weekend at Bobby's: The Hunter Who Does It AllWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor dive into Supernatural Season 6, Episode 4, "Weekend at Bobby's"—Jensen Ackles' directorial debut and a love letter to everyone's favorite gruff hunter. This bottle episode gives Jim Beaver the spotlight he deserves as we witness Bobby Singer juggling demon torture, monster research, FBI visits, and a very persistent neighbor with famous peach cobbler—all while trying to get his soul back from Crowley.The hosts explore the brilliance of this episode's structure, following Bobby through an exhausting weekend of phone calls from hunters (including the always-hilarious Garth), dealing with foreign monsters popping up in America, and navigating an increasingly complicated situation with the King of Hell. The emotional heart comes when Bobby finally unleashes on Sam and Dean for calling him "selfish," delivering one of the series' most memorable rants. Nate and Krissy also discuss the questionable logistics of Rufus crisscrossing the country, the wood chipper solution to monster problems, and why Bobby's neighbor Marcy probably regrets bringing over that cobbler.Additional highlights:

• The drinking game rules include Bobby answering calls (the heavy hitter), "balls," son of a bitch, and outdated 2010 tech
• Mark Sheppard's Crowley steals every scene, from his Bobby impression to complaining about managing demons like a bad office job
• The clever reveal of how to kill demons permanently—burn their original human bones
• Jensen Ackles' directorial choices and the use of "The Gambler" during Bobby's research montage
• Why a wood chipper might be the ultimate supernatural weapon

The hosts rate the drinking game 4 out of 5 phone calls and agree this is an episode they could rewatch immediately. Up next: Season 2, Episode 18, "Hollywood Babylon," with rules including Dean eating, Dean flirting, and a Die Hard reference shot.Learn more about Gank That Drank and access episodes early and ad-free at trustory.fm.
