Episode 21 - 40 oz. of Christmas (SIML)

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! It's also 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. Plus, we try the first "adult beverage" in DWJ's illustrious history. 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. We're chock full of Christmas...well, not cheer, but something. It's a happy holiday with America's (and Greenland's) Favorite Podcast, Drinks With Josh!

Merry DWJ Christmas (Part II)

Our salute to Christmas (in lieu of a new episode) continues. This time, we decided to make Christmas the classiest holiday around. Did we succeed?

Merry DWJ Christmas (Part I)

We know we've been slacking on getting a new episode out. We feel terrible about it. So we made Ben do this to brighten your holidays. Gather the family and enjoy a "Death Metal Piano Christmas 2014".

Episode 20 - Happy Thanksgiving aka Mosh Pits For The Blind

Ho ho ho, Happy Thanksgiving! It's our first ever holiday episode, sure to brighten your family gathering this year. The boys are off to the Asian market again (Josh is obsessed with the place) to get a drink from a country that just oozes turkey and cornucopias: Thailand. What else is on the menu this Thanksgiving? Discussions of mosh pits for the blind, Ben's new tag line for nearly anything Josh says, and Josh's dream Thanksgiving feast (it's as messed up as one would imagine). It all culminates with a heartfelt and emotional ending where Ben and Josh have a chat with all the Thanksgiving shoppers out there. So if you're headed over the river and through the woods this holiday, or even if you aren't, brighten the season with a hot, steamy mug of Drinks With Josh!

How does this NOT scream Thanksgiving?

Something about the "Virgin or Mix" line is a bit off-putting.

Because if you try and add one ounce of Malaysian coconut water or sugar, it's ruined.

Episode 19 - Highway JCF Revisited

In the latest incredibly compelling and important episode of Drinks With Josh, Ben sets out to right a massive wrong he feels Josh committed in a review. Meanwhile, Josh has grandiose plans to start a "movie" business with Ben. Ben is nonplussed. You will be too once you hear what it is! Plus, there's a Fresh Prince-style homage to Josh, a discussion of "healthy green salads", and Josh gets going on both pretzels and Australian Aborigines again. You can also hear Josh fail miserably at "Brain Dead Trivia" yet again. It all culminates with the big review. Will Josh correct his mistake or was Ben wrong all along? Find out in the amazing cultural touchstone that is the latest of Drinks With Josh!

[DWJ Trivia: In honor of Mr. Show, Ben wanted to call this episode 'The Return of the Curse of the Creature's Ghost,' which admittedly would have been awesome, but way too long.]

*No pictures this time. Ben was too lazy and Josh can't figure out how to take them.

Episode 18 - His Royal Heinous

In an attempt to gain some respect, or maybe just because he's nuts, Josh declares himself to be royalty. The "Mahdaraja," in fact. Yes, everyone but Josh realizes that's not an actual title. It doesn't matter, because Ben ignores his royal heritage and continues to be a jerk at every opportunity. In this episode, you'll find out all about Josh's upcoming career plans in the candy industry, learn trivia about movies that you've never heard before ("Dances With Woofs"???), and Josh reveals the worst place a person can die. Plus, we find out about many of Josh's creepy (and illegal) activities, ranging from stalking to cannibalism. Oh yeah, and they fit a drink review in there somewhere! It's mucho madness on this episode of Drinks con Josh.

Episode 17 - The Ol' Switcheroo

It's time, once again, to travel to the magical world of beverages with Josh and Ben. This week the boys are getting Slurpees...or are they? They may be pulling the ol' switcheroo while discussing such important topics as the difference between Yogi Bear and Yogi Berra, what not to yell in a convenience store, and Josh's horse tips. Then there's the digressions into the power glove, Josh's concern for lost children, and nude drink mascots. Plus, a review of...something. But what? And just when you think it will all come to a satisfying end, Josh hits you with an ol' switcheroo of his own! It's misdirection (or lack of planning) all over the place! So chime the triangle and come and get it! It's a piping hot, fresh episode of Drinks With Josh!

Josh is amped about this week's drink, or at least its mascot.

Episode 16 Supplement aka Yes, Josh Is Really Like This

Many people ask if Josh is really so...Josh-like in "real life." The answer is a resounding YES!!! As proof, and as Ben mentioned in episode 16, we present a text conversation between Ben and Josh. One where Josh admits to making out with his mother, then blames "auto corret" for him having typed yes instead of no. Like that's actually something that happens.

Episode 16 - Don't Eat The Berries!

This week, on a very special episode of Drinks With Josh; our very own Josh learns a valuable lesson about eating berries off of random bushes. It's a lesson he, and you, won't soon forget. Or something. Then the boys discuss pre-packaged chocolate cake, the benefits of taking a flask to school, and Josh's obsession with his nipples. They also prepare for their upcoming trip to add "Greenland's Favorite Podcast" to the list of awards this show has won (from itself). Plus, they find time to fit in a review of a classic drink! Is it true? Mmm hmm! So tune in for the lunacy, as well as the in-depth critical drink analysis that you expect from Drinks With Josh!

BONUS SIP!!! Episode 15 1/2 - Basketball?

Ben was recently going through some old thumb drives and came across some amazing footage from 4 or 5 years ago. It is part of a conversation between him, Josh, and their friend Mr. Mitch. Where is the rest of the conversation? We don't know. Why did this get recorded? Most likely because Ben is a dick. How amazing is it? Extremely. So join us as Josh discusses his neighborhood animals, a very "special" drink he had, and something he refers to as basketball. It's all here in our mini-bonus-sip-of-an-episode of Drinks With Josh!

Episode 15 - Super Fun!

Thirsty? We hope so because Drinks With Josh is back with episode 15! In this masterpiece, Josh brings his new favorite (and Super Fun!) candy along. Meanwhile, Ben is busy finding new and abusive uses for said candy. The boys then discuss everything from the blasphemy that is the new ninja turtles to the real reason Josh is barred from sleeping over at Ben's house. Plus, the usual inane trivia and plenty of references to Josh's semi-homeless boyfriend, Phil! They might even squeeze a drink review in there! Come for the insanity, but stay for the...more insanity! It's America's Favorite Podcast; it's DRINKS WITH JOSH!

Episode 14 - Movin' On Up (BBO)

Slap some beetroot on that burger and bust out the ANZAC biscuits, Drinks With Josh has got another Australian treat (sorry Aussies, we've decided; pavlova is Kiwi). While enjoying the latest beverage from down under, the boys drop a bombshell. Josh has moved out of his parents' house! Can he survive without being babied 24/7? Will the show survive this massive "plot twist?" And why on Earth is Josh eating gummy colas when he's supposed to be reviewing a drink? Along the way, they discuss some amusing quirks of Utah geography, Mac and his butterfingers, and Josh gets ditched. Plus, Josh gets a heartfelt card from a special friend. All this and more (crazy) on the latest DWJ!

Yes, Us Too...

We got challenged to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge thing by Gregg from Gregg's Guide to New Music. After beating him senseless and donating at alsa.org, Ben took up the challenge (Josh is out of town). In fact, he turned it into a nice little mini-ep of America's Favorite Podcast. Find out what rating "drinking water while pouring ice water over your head" gets in this very special video.

Episode 13 - It's About Time

It's unlucky episode 13 and Ben and Josh face a drink menace unlike anything they've seen before, courtesy of the infamous Lester's Fixins. Will they survive? And if they do, will their plans to conquer Greenland come to pass? Or will Josh be too busy being "a daddy pleaser?" Then we've got a German lesson from Josh, more Ben singing (sorry), and, of course, our usual braindead trivia. So pull up a chair, kick up your feet, and enjoy what may be the last episode of Drinks With Josh! (PS-It's not)

An Important Question

Hey guys, we are in the process of deciding whether we want to add Drinks With Josh to Stitcher. We are a little conflicted about certain aspects of it, so we wanted to know what you think. Please take our poll below, and if you have any comments about it, let us know! Do you use it to find new podcasts and think it is the bees knees? Do you hate it with a fiery passion like that which Josh reserves for intelligence? Do you even have a clue what the hell we're talking about? Tell us all about it! We're the Jerry Springer to your...nevermind, that's a terrible analogy.

Episode 12 - Moanin' n' Groanin'

Oh yes, the boys are back! Josh decides that we should have a "guess that moan" contest. Meanwhile, Ben is curious about what other kinds of contests Josh may be participating in. You'll also hear all about a sordid affair involving our heroes, the defenders of drink, and an international beverage conglomerate. We've also got Josh struggling through more basic trivia, obscure sexual positions, and, of course, an integrity-filled drink review. So join the "elephant in the room" when it comes to drinks, America's Favorite Podcast, the best thing ever invented: Drinks With Josh!

Episode 11 - Number One With A Pop It

Call the minutemen! Alert the Federales! Drinks With Josh is hopping the border! That's right, the boys are off to old Mexico through the magical power of drinks. Things get (lime) zesty as Ben presents Josh with his new hit song. Meanwhile, Josh somehow injures himself while driving (and not through a car wreck), yet Ben, who feels the need to play with fireworks in the car, comes out unscathed. His car doesn't. In addition, we've got more (braindead) trivia, drink AND food reviews, and Josh's worst "soccer news jingle" yet. And maybe even a special secret...can you find it? All on the latest Drinks With Josh!

Damn, they're smooth.

You can see how Josh was confused by the cookies containing caramel. They really hide that fact on the packaging.

Remember kids, don't set these off in a car.

See? We told you. This burn is about 3 weeks old and is still clear as day. Really ups the resale value.

Episode 10 - Battle Royale

OH. YES. Drinks With Josh returns with a 10th Episode Extravaganza Smackdown! In honor of the occasion, the boys invite two drink titans to do battle in the squared circle (that is Ben's car in a grocery store parking lot). It's diet, it's cherry, it's regular, and it's to the death...or something. We've also got fake sponsorships, a lifetime achievement award for someone very close to Josh, and the most in-depth two-week-old World Cup coverage around. Plus, Josh struggles through more common knowledge trivia (and basic measurements and botany). And, of course, the drink reviews. So join us for the episode that just won't end; the biggest, longest, epic-est Drinks With Josh yet: EPISODE TEN!

No, Josh, this tree is NOT 3 feet tall.

Episode 9 - Thums Up aka Not a Typo

It's joy for Josh as the boys finally track down the elusive Indian soda, Thums/Thumps Up! However, in order to get it, they must drive across town to a small Indian market. This is the real fantastic voyage! Listen as they discuss Josh's high school, stealing office supplies, and how "Price is Right" turned into a porno. And that's all before they even open the drinks! It's our longest and craziest episode yet; it is episode nine of Drinks With Josh!

Episode 8 - Ramune aka Murphy's Law

This week the boys inadvertently set out to prove Murphy's Law ("Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong"). After a few missteps getting the show going, they finally settle on the Japanese classic, Ramune. Can Josh defeat the marble and get to the soda inside? Since Ben forgot to record it, yes, but not until after much difficulty. Along the way, they discuss hot robots, have an in-depth hockey discussion, check out some listener mail, and even review some food (what?). Plus, Josh lets you in on his favorite coital locations (including in a shopping cart). If you're the type that loves disasters, make sure you listen to the mess that is this week's Drinks With Josh!

Episode 7 - Krazy Kritter Polar Berry

This time, Ben and Josh follow Ursa Major to the local grocery store to pick up some Krazy Kritter punch. Josh is bewildered by the fact that the polar bear shaped bottle contains a kids drink, while Ben is confused by Josh getting trivia questions right. Can you "bear" the awesomeness as the boys get "hot in Cleveland," swirl their ice cream, and "check out the back side." What are we talking about? Listen and find out!

Episode 6 - Bundaberg Ginger Beer

Ben and Josh head down under for this episode. They grab the Aussie favorite, Bundaberg Ginger Beer. Along the way, they discuss topics ranging from Sydney FC (go Sky Blues!) to the Ninja Turtles, and from Michael Bolton to Aboriginal dating sites. It's just as stupid and inane as you've come to expect from Drinks With Josh!

Episode 5 - Caramel Frappe

This week Josh drags Ben back to McDonald's because he apparently can only think of two places that sell drinks. After Josh (illiterately) goes over the menu, they get Caramel Frappes. It is at this point that the show devolves into its usual mess of nonsense. They talk nighttime corn dogs, disease ridden doors, and Josh inadvertently comes out of the closet. All this and a drink review, on the latest Drinks With Josh! (It's better than it sounds, really.)

Episode 4 - Hi-C Orange Lavaburst

This week the boys head off to the local golden arches for some good old fashioned orange drink. Ben writes an impassioned letter to the McDonald's brass, while Josh plays DJ and busts out...whatever the hell that is. Plus, they've got a spiffy new theme song. Come for the drink, stay for the in-depth discussion of all things Flintstones...or something. It's all on the newest "Drinks With Josh"!
