Drinks With Josh

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, Josh inquiring about feline sexual habits, and a touching tribute to DRS and that gangsta lean. Plus, some more of the braindead trivia we all know and love, and a very classy musical tribute to Christmas (also available on our Youtube page, search "Drinks With Josh"). We're chock full of Christmas...well, not cheer, but something. It's a happy holiday with Drinks With Josh!

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. Please enjoy this treat from America's Favorite Podcast!

This episode, Josh has found a new favorite (and Super Fun!) candy and tries to get Ben to try it. Ben, however, is more interested in this week's odd little drink. As they turn their critical eyes towards the beverage, they discuss Ben's newfound hatred for all things ninja turtles, Josh's purchases at the Love Store (or whatever it's called), and the real reason Josh can't sleep over at Ben's house. Plus, more of the inane trivia you've come to know and love. It's insanity, it's insults, it's drink reviews! It's DRINKS WITH JOSH; America's Favorite Podcast.

Slap some beetroot on that burger and break out the ANZAC biscuits, because Drinks With Josh is headed back to Australia! (Sorry, Aussies, I'm giving pav to the Kiwis.) In this episode, not only do the boys enjoy another treat from the land of Oz, but Josh drops a bombshell. He has moved out of his parents house!!! Will he survive? Will the show survive? Will Josh stop eating gummy colas long enough to drink the drink? Plus, we've got amusing quirks of Utah geography, Josh gets ditched, and we get a very special card. So start unpacking, because Drinks With Josh has moved in and episode 14's name is on the lease...or something.
