Put on your birthday suit and get ready for a visit from your friendly OB/DWJ! In this episode, the boys celebrate the show's first birthday while recording. Josh takes the opportunity to launch an awesome new trivia contest. However, Ben thinks it might be a little too easy. He's also a little concerned that Josh seems insistent on seeing the "lady doctor." Speaking of which, the boys are also concerned at the Southern Hemisphere's lack of participation in the show. Kiwis, you're cool, but the ...

Awwww yeah! It is getting hot in here as Ben & Josh try out a truly x-rated beverage. Speaking of which, Ben lets his "jerk flag" fly as he insinuates all sorts of stuff about Josh's mom. Josh is not pleased, yet is undeterred in his quest to learn to pick locks. Why? So he can get into his parents' candy stash. Yes, really. No, Josh is not five years old. He just acts that way. In addition, we've got Ben's "porno" music that slowly devolves into a bad semi-cover of the Sanford & Son the...

DWJ is finally back and we've got the newest diet craze. Join Josh as he helps you shed those pounds! He also (again) propositions Ben, and doesn't even wait until the show starts to do it. Once that awkwardness subsides, the boys discuss the quirks of Indian pizza, an overexplanation of the show's premise, the return of "Cricket Chat," some sexy karaoke, and so much more. Of course, there's a drink review, AND an added bonus food review. So put down those snacks and get ready to get fit with Dr...

It's the most revealing Drinks With Josh yet. Not in a sexy way, but in a "they'll tell you the secret identity of the drink from part 1" kind of way. Sorry to disappoint. That doesn't mean we're not chock full o' goodness for this one. The boys discuss everything from why Ben's neighbors hate him, why Josh prefers tips over regular pay, and our usual round of braindead trivia. Then Josh flaunts his amazing associate's degree while at the same time can't figure out how Ben has not seen a movie. ...

It's a very special episode as Josh busts out his "Letterman Technique" in order to boost listenership. Of course, him being Josh, his plan is absolutely nothing like Letterman at all. Is anyone surprised? On the bright side, there's a new drink, Josh shows some leather when it comes to baseball trivia, and then, THE BIGGEST CLIFFHANGER IN DWJ HISTORY! Actually, the only one in DWJ history... Oh well. Plus, a frank discussion on the merits of 2 Chainz, bacon lipbalm, and cricket. Or if that does...

On this DWJ, Ben and Josh are getting ready to send Josh off to see the world. Or at least India. But, as a loyal fan of "America's Favorite Podcast*," you say, "Didn't Josh already go and come back?" Yes, yes he did. They recorded it before his trip and Ben was just too lazy to edit it until now. Which isn't surprising at all. Anyway, this time they discuss a wide range of important issues, like lactose intolerance, the soybean, travel etiquette, animal allergies, and late 80s music. Josh even ...

Love is in the air as Drinks With Josh returns just in time for Valentine's Day! Hear all about Josh's many, many loves. Most of them are food related, all of them are disturbing.

Add in a hugful of braindead trivia, a spot on celebrity impression, and breaking world news. Sprinkle a loving dollop of "cooking chat" (really) and Ben discussing his holiday plans ...

YO! Holla at ya boyz! Drinks With Josh is back and in full effect. First, we start off with a drink that honors (almost) everyone's New Year's resolutions. Then, we add some samples of Josh craziness. Finally, we lay down the rhymes as Josh inadventently writes the newest club banger (as performed by Ben). Plus, we've got an added Thai treat, the saddest trivia segment ever, and Ben and Josh share their resolutions with the group. Pop on the Adidas, put the Hennesy on ice, and get the hydraulics...

Ben decides it is high time we bring some class to this old dump. In that spirit, he gets a high class sort of beverage and pairs it with a lovely serving of some light classical. This plan doesn't hold up, though, as Ben shows up looking like he's homeless and Josh goes completely off the rails...even for him. We apologize in advance to charities and women everywhere on his behalf. And yet, even with all that, this still might be our classiest episode ever...and that's just sad. Check out the u...

It's an episode full of milestones! Not only is it our big 21st episode celebration and our first ever Christmas episode, but Josh also makes it through a whole show without mentioning Arby's once! The holidays really are a miraculous time! On top of all that, it's our longest episode ever. We're pretending it is because we missed our last release date, but really it's because we don't know when to shut up. So gather the family around the ol' Yule log and hear Ben ace talking with his mouth full...

Plus, Ben discovers an amazing new way to make Josh aware of some of the awkward thing...

Travel to the magical world of beverages with Josh and Ben. This week the boys are getting slurpees...or are they?

It's a bonus sip from Drinks With Josh! Ben recently came across a 4 or 5 year old clip he didn't know he had, just in time for a found footage extravaganza. Josh discusses a very special drink he had and talks about what he claims is basketball. Featuring Mr. Mitch, it's the best mini-bonus episode we've ever done! Mostly because it's the only one.

Using the power of the telephone, Ben and Josh finally track down Josh's DWJ Holy Grail: Thums/Thumbs/Thumps Up! Off they go on a truly fantastic voyage to pick up up. Topics include Josh's high school, neighbor, and (lack of) impressions. It's a road trip that makes the movie of the same name seem like Shakespeare, or at least Poe. And that's only half of the story as our heroes head back to Ben's house to actually partake of the soda. Can you endure a full 1+ minutes of Josh insanity as he tak...
