Drinks With Josh (general)

April 7th. The most important day on the calendar. That is Drinks With Josh Anniversary Day (like you needed to be told), and this year is a special one, as we mark a decade of America's Favorite Podcast! In honor of the day, the boys present your ears with a true test: can you survive this dumpster fire? Challenge yourself (as your hosts did) with 10 drinks, a plethora of call ins, endless top ten lists, Braindead Trivia, a nose full of miniature Andes mints, and so much more. Over 3 hours worth, in fact! Good luck!

Don't worry, everyone. You will not catch covid nor the herp, as "This Episode Has Been Sanitized." Just not from foul language or terrible references. Those are there, as always! This time, America, Greenland, and New Zealand's Favorite Podcast keeps it local with a review of a hometown beverage offering. Plus, a quick jaunt around the world with a mini review of a supposedly Aussie treat, that somehow does not contain vegemite. Meanwhile, Josh considers his career options after a job offer from WAY up on the food chain, and the boys realize what their Senator has probably been writing in his spare time. All this nonsense, plus a lot more (nonsense) is waiting for you, courtesy of the Kings of Drink Mountain!

Drinks With Josh may be The One True Religion (among many other things), but that doesn't mean they cannot learn from the faith of others. America's Favorite Podcast gets immediately in touch with the local religion by trying out a no sugar, no caffeine soda; will it also be no taste? Speaking of no taste, the boys also classlessly discuss everything from tithing to Mormon board games to why Asians explode. No, that last one isn't especially religious, but there's more to this world than just sitting in church, right? Plus, a VERY special guest makes a surprise appearance, just as Josh performs a VERY Sancred (no, we didn't misspell sacred) rite. Will the powers above approve of the boys' foray into spirituality, or will the recorder work in mysterious ways? Find out in this episode!

It's what? Nine years into this thing? And we've finally got an official Halloween episode! America's Favorite Podcast returns with America's favorite (fall, basic) beverage: Starbucks' own Pumpkin Spice Latte. A beverage perfect not just for Halloween, but fall in general. One that inspired the boys to slap on some Uggs, buy the most gorgeous (yet basic) sweater-dresses they could find, and drop some leaves into their cups. Things get spooky as they drive the dragula straight through topics ranging from the best Halloween costume ideas you'll ever hear to Josh's latest app pitch to Silicon Valley to Bill Cosby's failed business venture. Plus, a review of not just the drink, but a very basic, yet manly snack. So stop turning tricks and get into our treats with a pumpkin-spiced episode of Drinks With Josh!

Well look at this! A new episode of America's Favorite Podcast! Remember when you used to get these every couple of weeks? (Hopefully not.) Speaking of remembering, do you remember when the Kings of Drink Mountain lent their considerable talents to the Plum Forest Podcast? They sure do. Remember when they tried polvoron? Well, it's back baby! And with a rousing game of Guess the Flavor! And speaking of remembering again, remember when Ben used a terrible "speaking of" segue about 45 times in this episode? You will!

This show isn't all about the past, though. In fact, it gets downright futuristic as the boys plan their next vrbo airbnb timeshare youth hostel road trip stay on their robot phones. Robot phones which are then asked horrible, horrible things. Josh is lucky AI can't come for him yet... Then the boys dial up their "phone a friends" to settle THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION OF OUR LIFETIMES. Shout out to Tangents With Toby for saving the day! Oh yeah, and there's a dumpster fire of a drink in there somewhere too. So let your beverage heroes suffer through their libations while you get nothing but laughter vibrations in this episode of Drinks With Josh!

The Kings of Drink Mountain have finally returned to the throne after a long period of hedonistic bacchanalia! It's good to be kings! Or maybe they're just lazy and didn't record, and even when they did, didn't edit it for ages. Whatever the case, America, Greenland, New Zealand, and Japan (!?!)'s Favorite Podcast is back! And rejoice in it, because not only is there a new show, but the drink pulls off a feat the likes of which has not been seen in quite a while! 

Meanwhile. there's Utah's beloved bat-phone restaurant, Josh's secret life as the Middle Eastern Yogi Bear, and an alarming new way to contract shingles that you'll want to be sure to avoid. Braindead Trivia's also back, because you wouldn't know what to do with yourselves without it. Just admit it. So sit back and relax with The Comfiest Podcast Around (there's an old one for ya), because you never know when there will be another...

Even the best beverage experts out there can still learn a few things about the field. Case in point, the Kings of Drink Mountain learn a very important lesson about dipping snacks in beverages while reviewing a classy, upscale version of their favorite bum wine. Let's just say that Freaknasty would be proud of them. Speaking of nasty, make sure to keep the kiddies and the easily offended away, as America's Favorite Podcast gets a bit edgier than usual while discussing the royal family, unsafe gummy snacks, a DWJ member going (podcast) solo, and meat loaf. No, not that one. Of course, good old Braindead Trivia is along for the ride, as well as another of the world's most trusted beverage reviews. So come along as I dip, you dip, we dip in this episode of Drinks With Josh!

America's Favorite Podcast returns with yet another highly trusted beverage review. Or at least they try to, but a certain cinematic classic seems to be drawing all the attention... The Kings of Drink Mountain discuss Josh's favorite Robin Williams film, along with his beef with Taco Bell, how French's mustard got its name, and a certain flick with this amazing cast: The Rock, Heidi Klum, Mike Judge, the NY Philharmonic, Kirsten Dunst, Ed Begley Jr., AND Charles Manson. Talk about a killer lineup!

Plus. listener questions from the amazing Jim at the Friday Night Music Party, Ben's questions from the less amazing Braindead Trivia, and Josh's truly groundbreaking attempt at asking the most incoherent question ever! So clean your glasses and stock the fridge, because it is time once again to have Drinks With Josh (and Ben too, I guess)!

America, Greenland, New Zealand, and (sometimes) Japan rejoice! Drinks With Josh is back with another in-depth, well thought out, deeply intelligent beverage review. Or the usual crap. Will they be able to tune out the baseball game and do a show? Will Josh weigh in on heavy geopolitical topics? Will you gain power by eating hair? Will the boys find out where they are? These and many other important questions will be answered, along with those in Braindead Trivia, in this decree from the thrones atop Drink Mountain.

"It's OK, they don't all have to be classics." Truer words have never been spoken, and America's Favorite Podcast proves it in this outing. Is it going to win any awards? No. Is it going to make you think about the bigger questions in life? Definitely not. But it will make you laugh and be entertained for a half hour. And it's free, so what more do you want?

This episode, the Kings of Drink Mountain address a limited edition soda, Honey BBQ Fritos, Josh's favorite comedies, Michael Bolton's career change, and Ben reveals TV's sexiest character. So really, not a bad episode at all. Just maybe not a classic...

Grab your sleds and hang on to your mid-ocean ridge, because the Kings of Drink Mountain are off to be formally recognized as "Iceland's Favorite Podcast!" To return the love, the boys partake of a couple of the country's finest fermented beverages.

However, they've noticed that not everyone seems to ready to express their love for the show, so they dive into the reasons (intimidation? shyness?) for this. They also look into Plum Forest Podcast's poor beer choices again, why beverage concerns need to up their flavor game, an unreal (yet true) lost virginity story, and celebrate Ben's birthday with some presents that NO ONE saw coming. Then help Josh get through Braindead Trivia before helping us find Umepon and some more Einstök to try.

It's tons of fun as we celebrate the 100th...I mean, 99.99th episode of America, Greenland, New Zealand, AND ICELAND's Favorite Podcast: Drinks With Josh!

America, Greenland, and New Zealand's Favorite Podcast is hitting the big time: 7 years and nearly 100 episodes...and no one seems to care. Including us. So here's a show. It's got a drink review. Probably some Braindead Trivia or something. Jim from the Friday Night Music Party did manage to put in an effort, though, helping with our new sponsor/side business, Sinks With Josh. Then there's some Tecmo Super Bowl, Josh's music preferences, and plenty of berating of you, the audience, and your bad attitudes. There's some other stuff too, I don't know, "Who Cares?"

As the Kings of Drink Mountain, Josh and Ben are known to live the high life, but have they tasted it? Not until today! Speaking of the high life, the boys take this opportunity to discuss their favorite Steves and Ben's is, well, stupid. He also gets to feel stupid when he reveals the most famous person he's ever met. Luckily, he redeems himself with a brilliant idea for an improved version of TV's "Drag Race," as well as by setting Josh off by bringing up The Aquabats. We've also got Josh's fantasy shopping trip with some of his favorite sports stars, a cameo by a football legend, and another round of everyone's favorite game: Braindead Trivia. And don't forget the review of the champagne of popcorn of beers...or something. It's all here in this episode of Drinks With Josh!

Dust off those spikes and step into the box, we've wound up and are ready to deliver a couple of screwballs: our hosts, Josh and Ben, the Kings of Drink Mountain. America's Favorite Podcast is here to get you in gear for baseball season by engaging in one of our favorite pastimes: debating Hall of Fame players! But if you're not into the ol' hardball, don't worry, there's Ben's broken toe (featuring the world's worst Rube Goldberg machine), our new covid vaccines, #DrinkTips (give us yours!), Ben's new measuring tool, and because it's March, some music madness! Are we forgetting something? No. No, we're not, because there's also a drink review of a special edition beer from the Pacific Northwest, at the suggestion of our good friend at the Plum Forest Podcast. Speaking of good friends, we'd also like to thank Rob from the Fat, Drunk, and Stupid Podcast for his "sponsorship" of our latest masterpiece.

The Comfiest Podcast Around is back after taking another long trip to India for this show's contender. Not only will it face the harsh judgement of the Kings of Drink Mountain, but their newest beverage reviewing tool (straight from the dollar bin). It's also got to contend with the worst "would you rather" question ever, Josh's cartoon alter ego, and a frank discussion of what counts as a cheap beer. Of course, Braindead Trivia is here, along with what the royal court would like to be a consistent segment: Drink Tips. Make sure you send them in!

America's Favorite Podcast (Greenland and New Zealand, too) returns with a call for new interns. Applicants will have to meet some exacting criteria, similar to those of a certain apparel company whose sponsorship dollars we've now forever lost. However, those chosen will have a front row seat for topics like Ben's pick for the Ultimate Lightweight, Garfield's connection to Calvin and Hobbes, some lovely duets of some very popular tunes, as well as rousing rounds of both Braindead Trivia and Who Would Drink This? In addition, Ben bares his soul not once, but twice; including by coming out as his true self. It all culminates with our new national pastime: a "triple play" of beverage reviews!

Merry Maskmas! As covid continues its march across America, the Kings of Drink Mountain don their protective gear and spend a jolly, yet distanced holiday. Ben brings a holiday surprise for review, which throws Josh for a loop. But does Josh know more than he realizes? While you ponder that, you can also think about deep topics like how Josh got his sudden "Christmas bonus," the deeply creepy overtones of "The Christmas Shoes," why Bocelli's security team should be on high alert, and Ben's red flag warning for people under 30. Then let the spirit of the season wash over you as the boys discuss their Christmas wishes, including Ben's sure-fire plan to expose the Illuminati. You can help with only pennies a day! Finally, curl up with those you love as you witness a true Christmas miracle take place on the show. What is it? Well, that would be pretty stupid of us to tell you here, wouldn't it?

The Kings of Drink Mountain are feeling nostalgic! Why else would they be referencing their past masterpieces with such fervor? Not only do they come up in conversation, but also in the rarely-seen Reverse Braindead Trivia (or as Josh calls it, "Tit For Tat For Benny By"). But it's not all reminiscing for America, Greenland, and New Zealand's Favorite Podcast; there's Josh overly complicating a simple prank, manly pizza slicing, funky bath bombs, and Josh coins a new term for beverages that go down easy. Plus, another amazing new "sponsor" joins Team DWJ, just in time to learn the benefits of being bad at crime. Oh yeah, and there's a drink review in there somewhere too. Enjoy!

The Kings of Drink Mountain are back with some help from an incredible new sponsorship (and our good friend at the Plum Forest Podcast)! In this episode, the boys take a deep dive into a local beverage product that has both our hosts very excited to try it, that is once Josh reveals his "BIG J SURPRISE!" Can it live up to its lofty expectations? Speaking of lofty, DWJ reaffirms its status as "The One True Religion" by discussing their real Holy Trinities. There's also talk of Josh's innovative new cancer screening, cryogenic ED treatments, Josh asking for more clarifications (during Braindead Trivia) than a spelling bee contestant, and the difference between mammograms and monogamy. Plus, Ben gives us an inadvertent review of...well, it's something. Something that Josh uses as a platform to discuss his favorite songs of the genre. We won't ruin it here, you've got to listen!

Get excited! America, Greenland, and New Zealand's Favorite Podcast is back and taking a look at some of Josh's...um..."top moments." In fact, without even breaking a sweat, he makes a bid to land at the top of the list. He's just that good. Ben simply tries to survive the onslaught of Joshness. Yet he shows his true ability as a King of Drink Mountain by navigating the citizens of Drink Mountain safely through topics like Josh's internal body composition, whether Carrot Top is vegan, what ribs qualify as being for her pleasure, and a pitch perfect Adam Sandler impression that must be heard to be believed! A slight respite is provided by the ever-reliable Braindead Trivia, which leads to one of the best discussion topics ever introduced on the show, about Mel Brooks. Do Ben and Josh take advantage of this fantastic conversation opportunity? I bet you know the answer! To cap it all off, there's a reference all the way back to episode 35 and a certain musician that Josh has seen in concert. It's a treat for all you true residents of Drink Mountain and it's all here in "Josh's Best!"

The Kings of Drink Mountain are feeling benevolent and allow a lowly commoner into their mighty inner sanctum. How does this peon repay this generosity? By being too embarrassed to use his real name and then proffering some of the most offensive beverages imaginable! Speaking of offensive, America/Greenland/New Zealand's Favorite Podcast is a bit offended by the response to our Pretty Pretty Poetry Contest, but decide to declare a winner anyway. They really are just too kind.

While the boys turn their well-honed critical eyes toward the foul potions, they power through a guest-driven version of Braindead Trivia, Josh reveals what he REALLY likes, and there is a meltdown the likes of which we haven't seen in years on Drink Mountain.

The Kings of Drink Mountain return with a second consecutive episode of day drinking as they travel to Korea for some Asian hooch. Josh decides that the name of the show is now forbidden, but seemingly nothing else is, especially as he performs his current tight five. No, not minutes of comedy, minutes of trying to pronounce "euphemism." Meanwhile, Ben laments his life choices as he realizes his true worth is as a translator. It's not as good as it sounds. Dueling Braindead Trivia also makes its second straight appearance and Josh asks a truly insightful, truly inspired, truly magnificent question that requires him to ask it not once, not twice, but thrice. It's THAT powerful. But is the beverage? You'll have to listen to find out. That's kind of the point, after all.

Not only does Braindead Trivia make its normal appearance, but Josh leads us in a round of Reverse Braindead Trivia (Aivirt Daedniarb?), and Ben introduces a new national treasure: Find The Real Sundance Movie. And the boys show off their beverage expertise by pulling this off while doing some day drinking. Actually, that's unfair, it's not even late enough to be called day drinking.

It's The One True Religion as you've never seen it before! Mostly because you've never seen it, it's a podcast! Yet Josh is taking charge of the show and trying to fix that with a round of show and tell. You know, that audio entertainment staple. Anyway, you can find out what kind of creepy crap Josh keeps in his peanut box, as well as what kind of creepy snack he brought along. You'll also get a glimpse at his concert history, which is just as confusing as you'd expect.

Meanwhile, Ben tries to get the show on track by calling out the recent "Best of Utah" results for buffoonery. This somehow devolves into a lengthy discussion of the NBA, in which Ben scars Josh for life. Ben is scarred to find an adult man who doesn't know what basic furniture is, who doesn't recognize his own grandpa's name, and whose recollection of "Dumbo" is frightening at best. Also, mark the date, as the boys bust out a record-setting shortest Braindead Trivia ever! And yeah, they eventually get around to the drink. Eventually.

Ben allows it, but only because Josh has also regained another title that hasn't been seen in a while. Perhaps the boys made a deal with the devil too, as this is one of the most quotable episodes of the show. From the usefulness of the ubiquity of a certain cartoon mouse to how Josh always "wins" Braindead Trivia to why one should have said a male body part, there's a quote for nearly everything.

America's Favorite Podcast returns with a "family friendly" episode all about everyone's podcast host best friend, Ben. Ben is not convinced that this is a good idea, but decides to play along. Meanwhile, Josh is taking very detailed notes on Ben's answers to credit card security, I mean, biographical questions. The Kings of Drink Mountain also are sure to ascend the throne in order to dispatch yet another royal judgement, this time on a beer in a great bottle, but...when did Utica, NY move to Mississippi? The boys also discuss their similarities and differences with Top Gun, make and lose an amazing new friend, and treat you to the Beastie Boys doing a Julia Child impression. Plus, Braindead Trivia returns with yet another round of heavy thinking. Oh! And the minor detail of the show realizing they are "The One True Religion." I probably should have mentioned that. So get your ears ready for an episode Ben calls "the worst episode we've ever done" and get to listening to Drinks With Josh!

America, New Zealand, and Greenland's Favorite Podcast returns, with a bit of a Mexican twist. Not only do they try out a snack from south of the border, but they've also got a soda inspired by the flavors of old Mexico...or something. Are they any good, or should we build a wall to keep them out? While the Kings of Drink Mountain puzzle over these questions, they play some Braindead Trivia and some Who Would Drink This? They also discuss what Josh would look like in a dress, Josh's mom's lifetime achievements, and Ben says the single worst thing he will ever say (his wife's reaction: you're too old to be saying stuff like that!). Yes, it's really that bad. But the show isn't! It's yet another classic episode of Drinks With Josh!

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."

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!

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.

The boys take another trip to a local Indian market, but can they survive without yelling something inappropriate? They sure didn't the last time. In other news, Josh has now joined Tinder, ladies and gentlemen. It doesn't seem to be working quite how he expected, but perhaps if he were to use one of the names Ben suggested, it'd work out. Speaking of working out, Josh has a really smooth line for you guys to use the next time you spot someone attractive at the gym. You'll be beating them off with a stick after this, for sure.

Welcome back to "America, Greenland, and New Zealand's Favorite Podcast," Drinks With Josh! You may have thought that the Kings of Drink Mountain were weird before (or, at least, "quirky geniuses"), but this episode takes it to a whole new level. Ben decides that he needs to take a night off and relax. Josh is nonplussed on this idea from the get go. His opinion of the idea only gets worse from there. That's not all that's getting Josh's goat, however. He brings out a special, yet familiar, gift for Ben, then promptly spills it everywhere. Ben is convinced that Josh is frequenting a particular "gentleman's club," despite Josh's protestations to the opposite. Worst, Josh is faced with the reality of his trip to Bombay Cafe. Let's just leave it at the phrase "vomit tuna."

In the face of all this, Ben keeps cool and relaxed as he floats through the laziest Braindead Trivia ever, learns new facts about Norway, and admits that we could charge for DWJ, but would probably need to put on a better show to do so. Throw in some Biscoff cookies (that Ben was apparently too "relaxed" to review), Bill Cosby, and a far-right stance on "personal responsibility" and you've got the super weird and mega glorious new episode of Drinks With Josh, "the Comfiest Podcast Around."

In this episode, we find Josh slumming from the very beginning as he brings a wholly inappropriate gift to Ben from his recent travels to Vegas. He keeps it that way the whole episode, causing Ben to realize that Josh may not have crossed the line, but become it himself.

Along with this hard hitting revelation, Ben and Josh discuss chicken fried steak portions, Josh's Aussie craving, and Ben introduces some new segments to the show (one of which is kind of depressing). Josh also proudly defends his awful Twitter behavior while requiring Ben to explain to him what soup is. Really.

Then there's your usual dose of Braindead Trivia and another of the world's most trusted drink reviews. Oh yeah, and the minor matter of the show going on strike until we get another drink request. Nothing big or anything.

Of course, we've got your "gaming" needs covered with our beloved over/under system for Braindead Trivia. That's right, it's a jam packed episode, and that's before you even get to the drink! So get on the right side of history, join the masses for another amazing episode of Drinks With Josh!

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and if that's true, then Ben is flattering Josh to an insane degree. That's right, Ben decides to do this episode as "Josh," and with an impression as good as his, it is hard to tell them apart.

While you try and figure out that mystery, the boys also discuss TV theme songs, why Josh is giving all his money to his new friend Paul, Josh's new boots, and the all-time classic "The Einstein Show". Plus, Braindead Trivia, the drink review, and THE GREATEST ENDING IN DWJ HISTORY (complete with Josh throwing his mic away).

So grab a croissant and join America, Greenland, and New Zealand's favorites, Ben and Josh, on the spiffy new Drinks With Josh!

Ah yes, Ben and Josh are back, seated on their thrones atop Drink Mountain, ready to review another beverage just for you! This time, they've got a bit of a surprising product from a local brewery. It inspires a very frank discussion about early mormon president, Jason Alexander. The boys also have a nice chat about Josh's Greenlandic skills, Ben's blackjack skills, and just who has the skills to do the most horrendous cleaning job on Earth. Then Josh struggles through another round of Braindead Trivia; one that will have you screaming at your radio...er, computer...or whatever. It all culminates in a desperate plea for an admittedly rough charitable "donation." Who will finally "Take One For The Team"? Get the latest DWJ and find out...it might even be you (although, for your sake, I hope it's not).

Christmas is back and so is Drinks With Josh. In keeping with the season, Ben gives Josh his very first taste of that holiday classic: egg nog. And no, it's not alcoholic, but if that helps you excuse some of Josh's behavior, by all means, pretend that it is. Ben also busts out the Santa hat, the bells, and a Christmas version of Braindead Trivia. Josh brings an attitude that would make Ebeneezer Scrooge blush. Of course. So get to listening, and celebrate Christmas the way it's supposed to be celebrated: with Drinks With Josh! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Drinks With Josh (with your host, Ben) is back with a post-Halloween episode. They decide to make up for missing the holiday by "trick or treating" at the local Asian market. They also went to a little Indian market, but were unable to buy anything after Josh had a little...mishap. In addition, you can feel the excitement of our first (mostly) unedited episode (hence the name). It's all the coughs, grunts, street noises, long stories about nothing, and uncomfortable pauses that you've been craving. Yes, even more than usual. Plus, a drink review (duh) and some bonus junk food reviews, too (TRICK OR TREAT!). You even get some live play by play of the parking lot! Amazing! It's all here (and more) in a super special Drinks WIth Josh!

Hooray! Drinks With Josh is back with a special treat: our first ever Listener Request Drink! What a drink it is, too! It seems to have cast an evil spell upon the boys, making Josh (somewhat) literate and well-spoken, and Ben loud and (even more) crass. Speaking of firsts, Ben uses Josh's favorite word for the first time on the show, sending Josh into a fit of happiness! Plus, can Josh get a first by going 10 for 10 at Braindead Trivia? The 200-to-1 odds say he can't, but on this strangest of days, who knows what can happen?

Of course, not everything is askew. The crazy you know and love remains in full effect. We've got Ben's jacket starting a race war, Josh confusing Saudi Arabia with New Zealand and Greenland with Australia, an offensive new cable cartoon block, and Ben gives a whole new (and useful?) meaning to the phrase "Deuces Wild." You'll also meet Ben's new arch-nemesis as he navigates his way through the beverage. Plus, as per usual, the Kings of Drink Mountain spend about 15 minutes trying to wrap up the show.

It's a weird show full of tricks and treats, just in time for Halloween! It's the brand new episode of America (and Greenland and soon, New Zealand)'s Favorite Podcast: Drinks With Josh!

Cue up the awards, Drinks With Josh is back! This time, we're not only taking home the trophy as America (and Greenland)'s Favorite Podcast, but for best original score, as Ben busts out the guitar for some light accompaniment. It's too bad he can't play it. He's also backed up by some wind chimes as it's our first ever outdoors episode. Probably the last too, as Ben is hyper and weird and Josh gets really disgusting, even for him. The high-sugar, high-caffeine drink probably didn't help, either. Plus, there's an attempt at some Braindead Trivia, Rebecca Black sequels, and a live acoustic rendition of a couple very familiar (to all you big DWJ fans) tunes. It's all the crazy you've come to expect, taken to 11, on the brand new, buying local, Drinks With Josh, with your host, Ben!

Join your host Ben and your...something...Josh as they try out a limited edition beverage from a popular fast food establishment. Along the way, they discuss Clue vs. Cluedo, phrases that sound like they should be exceptionally dirty, but aren't, Josh's mom getting honored by the state, and Josh taking a turn as Celine Di-Josh. Also, Ben comes up with a fabulous new pickup line for all you ladies out there. Plus, be there as Josh, an adult, learns the truth behind raisins and prunes. All this and more as our heroes fend off the robot uprising with a couple of dustpans on the latest Drinks With Josh!

It's a monumental day on Drink Mountain as our kings, Ben and Josh, welcome their first ever guest: Mr. Mitch. Mitch seems nonplussed to be there from the get go; he must've heard the show before! It doesn't help when Josh starts off with a rousing "YOLO!" It gets worse when Josh brings a drink that has already been reviewed on the show. The downhill slide continues when they bust out Josh's contributions to Twitter (@DrinksWithJosh), or when he discusses stuffing Ben's mom in his trunk, or when Josh busts out the fudge for no reason. It truly is a highway to (Mitc)Hell. But in the most entertaining way possible. Plus, Braindead Trivia (complete with "gaming") and YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHO JOSH HAS SEEN IN CONCERT!!?!}(%111

In this episode, those fonts of wisdom, Ben and Josh, head to a local Utah coffee chain to sample one of their signature beverages. Along the way, they have trouble with the drive-thru, sound effects, buses, and even flashlights. They truly are brilliant. Plus, they add to the knowledge with more Braindead Trivia, Josh's new vocabulary word, and some engineering tips for your next home. It all culminates in yet another definitive review from the experts, the Kings of Drink Mountain, and the stars of America (and Greenland, and, soon, New Zealand)'s Favorite Podcast!

Welcome to the new Drinks With Josh (with your host, Ben)! What's so new about it? Just about everything! There's an awesome new addition to Braindead Trivia. There's Ben in his new role of "Josh Jr." screaming about Arseniooooooooo Hall. There's Josh's new attitude regarding his mom's true identity. There's even a brand new (and very WILD!) spokesman job for Ben (he wishes). And it's all recorded in a brand new spot (next to an obnoxious busy freeway during rush hour, where else?)! Don't worry, though, in all this newness we didn't lose our good old insanity and inanity. So there's Josh's feeding tips for 10 year olds, Ben's helpful medical advice for foot gigantism, and even Josh gets embarrassed when Ben gets a little too WILD! And lest we forget, we've got a true monolith of the drink world up for review this time!

Industry! That's right, Ben and Josh are showing their Utah pride and trying a "Utah's Own" beverage. Amazingly, it's alcoholic (it's not banned here, just ALMOST banned). The pride lasts about...5 seconds before they start making fun of Provo, Utah in general, and one another. This episode also features another (of what we're now calling) Impromptu Cooking Chat, Josh's beautiful covers of "Kokomo" (including the Aussie remix), a by turns hilarious and disturbing round of Braindead Trivia, Josh's latest horrific business venture, and Josh's new TV cartoon project! Plus, another shout out to our homie over at Gregg's Guide to New Music and Josh wrapping up the show in about the worst way possible. Oh yeah, and the drink DOES get a review, too. So hitch up the wagons and grab your handcarts, it's time for an "elevated" episode of Drinks With Josh!

As we join Ben and Josh, we find that Josh is already having a bad day before the show starts. Ben being Ben, he immediately starts to rip on Josh's mom and make things worse. That's when Josh finally decides he's had enough and fights back with some mom jokes of his own. It goes about as well as you'd expect coming from Josh. It all culminates in a full-on, classic, level 5 Josh Meltdown. Oh, how they've been missed. Along the way, they find time to discuss Josh's new "million dollar" business venture, the cure for "earinicious," intimidating thighs, and the secrets to relaxation. Plus, Braindead Trivia and yet another in-depth drink review you can trust. Straight from the Kings, sitting on their thrones, at the summit of Drink Mountain.

Holy crow, DWJ is 30! Josh celebrates the milestone by checking out the Mastodon/Clutch concert where he makes a very suspect purchase. The boys then sit down for a truly magical beverage, yet Ben feels the need to officially declare BS on it. Will it affect the rating? Josh takes the opportunity to give the world a special gift: the WORST SOUND EFFECT OF ALL TIME! The boys also discuss the plethora of superhero movies these days, the unexpected places you can find DWJ content, and Josh's mom. Plus, they welcome a new DWJ "super fan" and show you what you get when you like our show (sorry, Jesse). Of course, there's also some of our patented (well, patent pending) Braindead Trivia and yet another drink review you can trust. Why? Because it comes straight from the Kings of Drink Mountain: Ben and Josh. All this and more in the new episode of Drinks With Josh.

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 rest of you need to get it together! There's also Josh's "season 2" plans (rated MA-WA???), the laziest Braindead Trivia yet, and you can play a rousing game of "Find the Mr. Show Reference!" In addition, make sure you stop by our site to check out the greatest picture of Josh that ever will be (it's mentioned in the show). It's so worth it.

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 theme, Josh's picks for classic music and TV (they're as bad as expected), and Ben's plan to improve the TV show "The Goldbergs". All wrapped up inside a review of a drink that magically smells like a Utah dessert staple. It's crass, it's crazy, it's exactly what you'd expect from the newest episode of Drinks With Josh!

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.

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. You know, because the fact that he hasn't watched it is really hard to comprehend. Plus, we've got Josh's magic shoes and a new hit song from the hitmakers here at DWJ HQ. This time it is Josh performing a tune that'll soon be topping the charts! It all then culminates in the moment America, Greenland, Belgium, and really the entire world has been waiting for; the crowning moment of the "Letterman Technique"; the apex of civilization: the reveal of the drink! Don't Be the only one in town who doesn't know the answer, join Ben and Josh for the big finish of episode 26 of Drinks With Josh!

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 doesn't float your boat, there's Josh's Greenlandic translation skills, making honey with Toni Braxton, and the smartest man alive. All that is just scratching the surface of the random craziness on the new Drinks With Josh: Greenland (and America)'s Favorite Podcast.

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 wins an award for one of his tales. Lest you think this episode is too serious and topical, never fear. It's as stupid as always. It's funny how you can even make this show sound intelligent if you try hard enough! So join us, we've got Josh defending those who don't need it, info on his lotion supplier, Braindead Trivia, and, as always, we didn't forget the drink! The craziness returns, only a bit late (about 6 weeks after we recorded it), with the newest Drinks With Josh!

Meanwhile, Ben sits back and makes fun of all of them. Plus, we've got a drink that seems to be perfect for (at least) one of our hosts. 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 with someone near and dear to Josh's heart, and you're almost there.

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.

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.
