In season 3, episode 2 of Drunk History, viewers are taken on a wild ride through Miami's history with three hilarious and inebriated narrators. The episode explores a range of events from the city's past, including the impact of the Mariel boatlift, the construction of the iconic Fontainebleau Hotel, and the life and career of influential Miami politician, Carrie Meek.

The first segment of the episode features comedian and writer Sarah Silverman recounting the story of the Mariel boatlift, a mass exodus of Cuban refugees to the United States in 1980. As Silverman eagerly sips on her drink, she narrates the wild and chaotic events that took place during the boatlift, including the tension and violence that erupted as refugees clashed with American authorities at the port of Mariel. Throughout the segment, Silverman provides hilarious commentary and personal anecdotes that add a layer of humor to this otherwise serious topic.

Next up is comedian and actor Ken Marino, who dives into the history of the Fontainebleau Hotel, a luxurious Miami Beach landmark that has hosted countless celebrities and events over the years. With each sip of his drink, Marino recounts the hotel's storied past, including its construction by famed architect Morris Lapidus and the iconic scene from Goldfinger, in which James Bond (played by Sean Connery) meets with the villainous Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) at the hotel's pool. Along the way, Marino offers plenty of laughs and witty observations as he chats with host Derek Waters and other cast members.

Finally, the episode wraps up with a segment featuring actress and writer Sibongile Mlambo, who tells the story of Carrie Meek, a trailblazing politician and civil rights leader who was the first black woman elected to the Florida Senate since Reconstruction. As Mlambo takes a sip of her drink, she recounts Meek's inspiring life story, including her experiences as a young girl growing up in a segregated Miami and her eventual rise to political prominence. Along the way, Mlambo shares personal anecdotes and observations about Meek's enduring legacy, as well as the challenges still faced by activists and politicians fighting for equal rights today.

Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to the trademark humor and irreverence that Drunk History has become known for, as each narrator shares their history lesson through the lens of their own drunken perspective. From the chaotic events of the Mariel boatlift to the glamour and luxury of the Fontainebleau Hotel and the inspiring story of Carrie Meek, Miami is brought to life in all its colorful and eccentric glory. Whether you're a history buff looking to learn something new or simply looking for a good laugh, this episode of Drunk History is sure to deliver.
