Episode 40 - Egg Noggy Nogg (DWJ Christmas #2)

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 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!

Have us climb down your chimney (aka download) here!

Episode 39 - Warts and All (FS)

We have finally returned! Once the celebrations calm down, we can continue... Anyway, the boys are busy, so this episode comes (mostly) unedited. That's right, now you can finally get all the uncomfortable pauses, coughs, grunts, stories that go nowhere and everything else you've been craving! Plus, since we missed Halloween, Ben and Josh decide to go "Trick or Treating" at the local Asian market. They might have gone to the Indian market instead, but there was a...mishap. Josh will tell you all about it (he'll tell everyone about it, apparently). With the trick or treating comes an idea for a future spin-off: AMCwJaB! It just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? In this episode, we've also got our (patent pending) Braindead Trivia, Ben mispronouncing nearly everything, and live play by play of the parking lot! Does it get any better? No, it likely doesn't. Prove it to yourself by listening to the latest Drinks With Josh!

No tricks, just the treat of a DOWNLOAD!

See how it looks shiny and wet? That's not an illusion, that's how it looks. Barf.

A sweet close up. Both because it's a good picture and because the candy is sweet. Get it? Hilarious.

Episode 38 - Ben Is The New Josh (SRCK)

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!

DOWNLOADing is the new streaming, which was the new downloading.

Ben saw these at the store while getting the drink. They say balls, heh heh heh.
It's Josh's turn for a completely immature joke at the store!
Meet Ben's new arch-nemesis. It makes Ben say bad things (much to Josh's delight).
Today's offering to the Kings of Drink Mountain.
A sexy shot of its rear.
Ben thought all the seeds had just settled to the bottom. Ben was wrong.

This may be their least appetizing looking drink yet, and that's saying something.
Ben trying to look welcoming and regal through his suffering.
Josh is just totally at a loss with this one.
International Relations 101: Don't discuss your love of New Zealand while wearing this jacket.
Ben took half the bottle. As you can see, there's nearly half a bottle left. Josh is shirking his duties. Bad Josh.

Episode 37 - Best Original Score (ICC)

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!

Josh wants to make sure you take this drink VERY seriously.
Ben (and his basitar*) are magically whisked away to Hyde Park, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Josh enjoying his drink by the dumpster and outhouses. Because Ben's a dick and he edited the pictures, so he gets to do what he wants. Like Cartman.
*-That is too a thing. From the best band that ever was (according to Ben).

Episode 36 - Dustpan Always Wins (MDSB)

Finally, the long national nightmare is over. America's Favorite Podcast returns with a brand new episode! 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!

PS-Village Baker, I think you owe us (and Jesse) now. We await our gift certificates. 


Whatever could it be?
Josh contemplating the dominance of the dustpan.
Now Josh is sad, because he missed seeing his mom being honored.
Ben looks super fat in this picture AND like he has a pageboy haircut. Can you say SEXY?
Today's challenger in all its aluminum glory!

Episode 35 - Highway to MitcHell (C)



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, aka "Drink Bitch," 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"), concert reviews, Aboriginal baseball, and YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHO JOSH HAS SEEN IN CONCERT!!?!}(%111

So come a-knock on our door* for America's Favorite Podcast, Greenland's Favorite Podcast, your heroes and mine, Ben and Josh, for a new episode of DRINKS WITH JOSH!
Hop on the highway by DOWNLOADing here

Mitch was lookin' GOOD for his appearance.
Josh has, don't worry.
Josh packed some fudge for the occasion. What else is new?
Josh's first ever favorite on Twitter. Awww.
 *-Get it? A "Three's Company" reference? Because there were three people on the show? Hilarious!
PS-Yes, we know the audio levels are off. It was recorded differently than usual, so we couldn't do much about it. It would help is Josh would talk into his mic, and Ben would back off of his. Consummate professionals.
PPS-Ben honestly harassed Josh non-stop about A.C. with calls and texts for about an hour. Then sporadically throughout the week. He's actually still at it to a small degree.
PPPS-This week's music pick: Alice Cooper, per Mitch. Thanks, homie!
PPPPS-Mitch using the word "dob" to mean sex makes this musician much more interesting (and funny).
PPPPPS-Nothing really, just wanted to get to 5 Ps. Have a good one! Oh, and PLEASE rate and review us on iTunes. Thanks!

Episode 34 - GEDs For PhDs (MB)

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! So take good notes and get ready to cram (there will be a test), it's a brand new Drinks With Josh!

Graduate to awesome, DOWNLOAD HERE!


Pop Quiz: Ben is happy because A) of US soccer. B) he enjoys the drink. C) the beverage doubles as fashionable headwear.
The scenic view (of power lines and a dry cleaner) from the B&B drive-up window.
Quite possibly a top ten weirdest drive-thru. A is the coffee shop (window on the left), B is where you drive in and order. Yes, through the building.
Not sure how they determined the sex of this beverage, but well done on doing it!
Josh loves having his picture taken.
 PS-This episode's music pick is by Josh. He recommends hip hop on the radio. But just for today. 2 Chainz!
