Drinks With Josh

Ho ho ho, and other of Ben and Josh's favorite things. It's time for Drinks With Josh's fifth annual Christmas extravaganza! This year, the boys are finally living up to their billing as New Zealand's Favourite Podcast and featuring a true Kiwi Klassik: L&P. It's already widely known as one of Ben's favorites, but will it live up to the hype with Josh? The Aotearoa love continues with some lamington and Bluebird chicken chip chat, but don't worry, you don't need to be a South Pacific expert to join in the festivities. There's also Braindead Trivia, Ben's expectations for Josh's Christmas gift, Santa's secret identity as Michael Jackson, and lots and lots of singing. Plus, the drink experts prove their knowledge in other areas with Salt Lake City travel tips and the best sex advice you've ever gotten. So wrap your ears in the velvety Christmas goodness of Drinks With Josh and make it a truly happy holiday!

Roll out the red carpet, Ben and Josh are here and ready to take their seats atop Drink Mountain once again! This time, they try out a wholesome homemade beverage treat, while making a completely unwholesome episode. It kicks off with Josh's post-doc level of knowledge of female anatomy and continues from there. We've got possibly crude license plates, the magic combo: beer and markers, a discussion of Meat Loaf's discography, and a shout out to our good friend Erin, who is always willing to "get you into Dick's." And don't miss the updated-for-2018 version of "Shoo Fly Don't Bother Me." Then there's Braindead Trivia and Josh's complete and total excitement at getting his hands on a dessert favorite. It's all that and more, it's new game plus, it's the new Drinks With Josh!

Ohhhhh yeaaaahhh! It's here! Put on your robe, lay back in your favorite recliner, strike up a smoke (if that's your thing), and let the immensity of Big Ben wash over your mind, body, soul, and ears! In an episode that we swear Ben was not drunk, high, or otherwise intoxicated for, the boys try out some birch beer. Well, Ben does. Josh is too worried that the situation is devolving into a Stephen King novel. Speaking of kings, the Kings of Drink Mountain of course provide some Big Ben-dead Trivia and beverage reviews, but at what cost? Does Josh survive the show or does the Bigness overwhelm him? Will the kingdom come crashing down? All will be revealed in this BIG episode of Drinks With Josh, with your host: (Big) Ben!

America, New Zealand, and Greenland's Favorite Podcast returns with an amazing treat for you: a LISTENER REQUEST EPISODE! Mike wrote us and suggested we try the "best vodka on the market," but he should let us be the judge of that. Along the way, Josh and Ben explore many of the wonders around us, like the Safari Desert, a new way of ranking presidents, fields of study related to the birds and bees, Babe Ruth's time on the Yellow Sox, and the ultimate question: Who wins: Al Capone of Mahatma Gandhi? Plus, a fundraising plea to help us solidify our place as Greenland's Favorite Podcast. With such a title comes a responsibility to give back! We've also got Braindead Trivia, a horrible-in-concept snack, and some new factions for the Harry Potter universe. So strap yourself in for not one, not two, but three reviews involving today's drink. We're going hard, son! We're Drinks With Josh!

America (and Greenland and New Zealand)'s Favorite Podcast is always highly offensive, so why not have a drink that is equally so? That's right, the Kings of Drink Mountain have found one of the most offensive beverages out there and, of course, can't wait to sample it. Will the taste approach the greatness of the show or will it also offend? Josh and Ben will tell you, right after they discuss Josh's latest horrible business idea, public domain porno, petty theft, and play one of the saddest rounds of Braindead Trivia ever. Seriously, you'll feel bad for Josh after this one... Wind up the victrola, slap in the 8-track, cue up the minidisc, or do whatever you need to do to listen to this cream-filled episode of Drinks With Josh!

Roll out the red carpet and sound the trumpets! The Kings of Drink Mountain have retaken the throne! This time, Ben is fed up with Josh spreading Twitter rumors about him refusing to do beer shows. Friends of the show piled on and even a local brewery got in on the act. Ben is now calling everyone's bluff and Uinta's reputation is on the line. The boys have a sampler of four beers from them to see which is best. Braindead Trivia returns, along with a new companion game that we'll just call Sexy Hat. It's even worse than it sounds. Plus, the proper way to drink beer (DAINTY CUPS FOREVER!), Josh's preferred neighbors, the worst fish imaginable, and a new way to eat cheese bread. Get all this (and more! It's amazing, we know!) on America, Greenland, and New Zealand's Favorite Podcast: Drinks With Josh.

Settle in, royal court, your Kings (of Drink Mountain) have taken the throne! Ben and Josh return to give you all the details on a newish alcoholic beverage that Josh insists is good. Ben just wanted to make fun of it, but as a drink expert, he knows he has to try it. So he just makes fun of Josh instead, as usual. There's also some lazy Braindead Trivia, the return of World Cup chat, and not one, not two, but three of the most insane questions you'll ever hear from Josh. Ben also adds to the fun with quite possibly the worst thing he's ever said on the show. Plus, "ceiling hitters," terrible impressions, and the true director's cut of 'The Wizard.' All brought to you from a relaxing camping environment. So grab the Comfiest Podcast around right now and find out if today's drink is worth your time.

PS-There's candy, too!

Sound the horns and prepare the thrones! The Kings of Drink Mountain have returned! This episode puts them to the test as they face a horrifying new beverage foe. Meanwhile, Josh is just horrifying, whether it's his taste in music at the grocery store, his desire for a certain bit of Napoleon "memorabilia," or his question about whether food can ever be good if it's...no you'll just have to listen. Speaking of Napoleon, Josh comes up with a great new sitcom idea. Are you listening, Hollywood? Our bank accounts are open to your money! Of course we've got Braindead Trivia, a round of Who Would Drink This?, and a new game where we try to come up with a new name for today's beverage. On top of all that goodness, there's a "special treat" at the end (if you can make it that far). So grab a seat and listen as Ben and Josh suffer through their newest drink, so you don't have to. It's just the kind of caring, giving people they are.

It's a bittersweet day as the boys deliver another hilarious and hard-hitting drink review, but against the backdrop of losing a friend. Not just a friend, but a massive part of DWJ history; a chunk of the rich tapestry that is Drink Mountain, if you will. However, as beverage professionals, they try their best to not let this somber occasion bring down the rest of the program. America (and Greenland and New Zealand)'s Favorite Podcast must go on! And in tribute to their lost friend, they bring out a heavy hitter in the drink establishment; this is no time for games, after all. Unless that game is Braindead Trivia or Who Would Drink This? which both make an appearance in this ep. There's also Josh's latest business idea, his mom's football ad, and the worst shout outs in podcast history. It all culminates in Ben's touching, heartfelt ode to their lost friend. It's definitely not one to be missed, so curl up and get comfy (and emotional) with the Comfiest Podcast Around: Drinks With Josh!
