In the grudge match sequel to last summer's Quiskey about offensive drink names, Ed and Gabe square off once again. Although Ed lost the last one, he's hungry, angry, and looking to even the score. Does he have any chance at all to win back the Crown of Impropriety? Listen in and hear! Music Credits: Freedom courtesy of Choc Mic McNeil | Link: https://soundcloud.com/chocmic/freedom

Well, it's Thanksgiving, so what better way to celebrate than with 1) a bottle of whiskey with a giant turkey on it and, 2) a friendly fight about the merits (or lack thereof) of Thanksgiving itself? Also, Scott raps his side of the argument. Yep. That's right. He raps. Is it the disaster it sounds like? Press play and find out!

Ok, folks, real talk: Ed is 0-2 in quizzes on this podcast, and he's not happy about it. This time, however, Scott (inadvertantly, he swears) ends up stacking the deck against Ed by placing him in direct competition with an actually whiskey lounge bartender (Anders from Episode #15) in a quiz about whiskey slang. So, listen in as we all learn a bit about whiskey slang (as defined by four master distillers) and find out how Ed does! Music Credits: Freedom courtesy of Choc Mic McNeil | Link: https...

As you know by now, we drink a LOT of whiskey. So, we wondered what would happen if we took a little bit of each one and blended them together using a concept known as an Infinity Bottle, which is a pretty exciting experiment. But to be completely honest, now that we've done it, we're terrified that we've just wasted hundreds of dollars on a Frankenstein's monster’s ass trainwreck. But there's also a chance it'll be the best damn thing we've ever tasted. Welp, only one way to find out! #stillafr...

So, join us for a look back as we revisit our podcast origins, give some listener shout-outs, recap all the epsiodes, and talk about why we couldn’t have done any of it without you. Yes, you. No, not you. YOU. Yeah, we’ve been watching you for a while now. And, man, the things we’ve seen. But don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone. Especially about that thing you did with the pudding. Dude.

Should just anyone be allowed to choose the top 10 of anything? Or should it be left to experts who are knowledgeable about the things they're ranking? Well, just like top 10 lists themselves, that's endlessly debatable. And yet! Crowd sourcing is a huge thing now. Big Data uses your info to sell you useless crap. Astronomers use volunteer computing power to search for exoplanets. And now randos use the internet to argue about the best bourbons. So, listen in as we debate the merits of these lis...

You're drinking at the shore, and it's getting late. The party's winding down, but somehow you haven't had quite enough to drink. So, before you order that Uber ride, you look around for whatever liquor might be left over and suddenly realize that you're not even sure whose house you're in. Fortunately, there are several half-empty miscellaneous whiskey bottles strewn around the kitchen. But unfortunately, most of them have generic-looking black-and-white labels with names that start with J, and...

Given that alcohol has been scientifically shown to lower inhibitions, causing us all to do some really dumb things we wouldn’t otherwise do (or at least that's what we tell ourselves), it's really no wonder that there seems to be a countless number of drinks and shots named after rude comments, racial slurs, and various sexual acts. However, has anyone ever dared to create a trivia game around them? Well, no, of course not, that'd be dumb. But, as mentioned, alcohol makes you do dumb things, so...

So, you're at a wedding. It's summer, blazing hot, and you're sad about your friend throwing their life away. You really need a whiskey. A dude walks by you with a glass of that familiar amber liquid. It's the groom's 3rd cousin or something, but you’ve forgotten his name because who the f cares about the groom's 3rd cousin? "Hey buddy," you say excitedly (because he has whiskey) but also casually (so he won't realize you forgot his name). "What kind of whiskeys they got?" Suddenly, a shadow pas...
